"A Magic Land"
by
Beth

Lucy and Kate wanted to go somewhere. They were bored, It was a bank holiday and nobody was around to play with them.

"I have an idea" said kate. "Lets play hide and seek".

"YEAH!" said Lucy. Kate had to count first up to 150. She counted silently and after she got to 55 she said "ready or not here I come!"

She went searching, they always played this and kate knew by know where Lucy hid so she went to a big tree and said BOO! but she wasn't there. What was there though was a big swirling gold circle. She could hear a HELP! and it sounded like Lucy. It was coming from the gold hole. Lucy started to worry. She jumped in after her.

Screaming, she shouted Lucy but there was no answer. All of a sudden she fell with a bump! "Ow" She said. She looked around her at all the amazing things. Flowers made of chocolate, and trees that looked normal but there was one thing instead of leaves there were £5.00 notes on it. Lucy stared in amazement. "KATE! KATE!!!! ARE YOU THERE!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Lucy looked around. Then she heard a noise it sounded like a
chomping. Lucy knocked on a house made of candy.

"come in said a soft,gentle voice"

Lucy went in and carefully wiped her feet on a sweet soft mat saying warm welcome. Inside she saw a lovely little lady who looked quite nice and kind.

"Hello dear, and what is your name? My name is Irene and I am the owner of this land so do you like it."

"Hi my name is Lucy and I think this place is wonderful"

"oh um, before you sit down Lucy have you a sister named Kate?"

"yes" replied Lucy

"Well here is a note from her, She told me to give it to her sister named Lucy"

Lucy opened the letter and read:

Dear Lucy,
I hope you heard me shout help! Anyhow Irene has been really helpful and said there is a hotel down the way made of sweets and serve you some hot chocolate for tea cause there has been some awful weather. It is amazing here isn't it? Please ask Irene If you can have the directions for the hotel. I will probably be sleeping because I am very tired you know me I am always tired. It is quite a long journey so pack a picnic there are some nice toffee apples on her front door and get a drink from the chocolate river.
Irene said there is a ice-cream van that comes around so pick a leaf or two £10.00 will do fine the Ice cream is very dear mind.
Hope to see you soon
Love
Kate

"So can I have the directions to the hotel please. It sounds very nice and I am dieing to see my sister."

"ok. come out of here and turn left there you will see a sign saying Candy Floss Avenue, go ahead there you will see a lamppost saying Humbug Hotel and that's where it is. Mind you that dosen't sound far but when you walk in this land it feels like you have been walking forever!!!!"

"ok" said Lucy "Bye"

So she set off got a picnic and £10.00 and off she went. After what seemed like 2 hours she got there, saw her sister and walked back to Irene's house. After they got the directions home they went. Once they got home they told everybody what happened and they were glad they were home.

  

The End
