“Are you ready? ” I asked my friends.
“Sir, yes, sir,” my friends, Tom and Frank, replied.
We were on the way to the woods because we wanted to camp. When we reached our destination, we put up our tent and lit a fire to cook some marshmallows. We made some smores and told a scary story and went to bed because it was a long journey.
“Errrr-err-errr!”
That loud sound did not come from an animal, nor the wind. It sounded like a siren. Low at first. Slow, like an emergency warning echoing through miles of the forest.
We got out from our tents and saw a brown, humongous, skinny monster with two sirens for a head.
Tom said, “ N-n-n-no, that ca-ca-n’t be,SIREN HEAD?!”
It saw us and ran towards us. We ran, but Frank tripped, so Siren Head got him, and Frank got paralyzed when the monster attacked him.
“We should hide behind that tree! ” I said.
But the monster mimicked Frank’s voice, ‘Ohh friends, come out, come out wherever you are! ‘
“Don’t fall for it. We must stay alert,” I said to Tom.
While we were hiding, we saw a cave with a book inside.
“What’s that book about? ” I asked myself.
We went in and opened the book. It showed pictures of monsters and their weaknesses.
We read the book and we saw Siren Head’s arch enemy, a creature called Long horse: a bony, long, and horse-headed one who was friendly to humans. We also discovered how to summon it.
As we did the ritual, it appeared, and I asked Long Horse, “Can we team up?”
Long Horse wanted to fight his archenemy, so he agreed to team up with us.
We took him to Siren Head. Long Horse entangled Siren Head and crushed him. Long Horse won.
’’Camping is now s-s-safe,” Siren Head replied in a glitchy voice.
We said goodbye to Long Horse as he went back to his planet.
‘’Phew! He saved us. Thanks to Long Horse, we’d just be a lump of flesh if he didn’t help us,” I said.
Frank was taken to the hospital, and he got better.
