Diary 3: Day 2

We woke up from a rough nights sleep, with sore backs, arms, and legs. We weren't sure what to do now so we decided to travel up closer to the stream. "W-wait up guys" Malik said, "I think I here someone up there. I'll go check and you guys wait here." Malik edged closer to the sound and then jumped out of his hiding place and saw a camp with, Maddy, Emma, Morgan, and Leah all sitting there. "Ok guys its alright, you can come out now." Malik said as James and Mac came out of hiding. "Wow! What are you guys doing here," the girls said in unison. "Wait here for a second..." James said as he grabbed Malik and Mac and dragged them behind the bushes. "Guys I have an idea, I think that we should form an alliance with them as they could help us and they might have some valuable information and resources that we need." After a while of thinking, we all agreed that was a good idea and decided to tell the girls. After another long time the girls finally came to an agreement and decided that it was a good idea. "We have to share all information and resources and NO double crossing!" They said strictly.

They then told us their story about how Maddy got bitten by a weird spider and got a bruise which kind of made her a spider and how they put amber on her arm and rapped a bandage around it so it would heal it.

We then started travelling together and came across a stream which looked like there was a little kind of island on the other side. "We should go over," Maddy said. "Yea we should," Morgan agreed. They then started walking across the river together across the river. "Oh my gosh look out!" We all called out as we saw a swarm of eels swimming towards them. Luckily, they got out on the other side but then Malik helplessly fell in. An grabbed hold of Maliks shirt then James came in and swiped it away with his machete. As they fought off eels, Malik then decided to go with the others on the other side but James decided to stay on the other side. "We'll meet up with you guys back here before it starts getting dark," James called out.

Malik, Maddy, and Morgan then started walking across the island and then came across a weird structure about the size of a football pitch. "Wow what is that!" Morgan said. We then edged closer to the strange structure and saw some weird symbols on it. One looked like an eye sort of thing and the other one was a hand with 3 fingers. Maddy then touched the eye like thing and fell onto the ground unconscious. Malik and Morgan then shook her awake and she told us about this weird dream she had about her floating in space. Malik then decided to touch the 3 fingered hand with his machete and fell unconscious too. Maddy and Morgan then shook him awake and he had a strange dream too. He said he was floating in space towards this metal sort of pyramid thing. We decided to find away in so we tied up some rope Malik brought in his pack and threw it over the wall. It took a couple of turns to get it stuck in place. We then abseiled up the wall and jumped down this hole. There were all these strange lights around us like sort of computers. Malik then pushed one of the buttons and a door opened up like a door to a space ship. We decided to go in and we saw a circle kind of button on the ground and stepped on it. It was like an elevator and took us down. Then we heard all these weird noises and some weird alien thing started chasing us. We tried to run away but it soon caught up with us and grabbed me. Maddy tried to push the alien off then another alien came and grabbed her. Then a swarm of aliens came and grabbed Morgan helpless attempts at saving us.

They carelessly shoved us into a cell and left us there for a while. As we pondered in the silence, one of the aliens pushed a tray into our cell with 3 cups of weird liquid in it. It looked just like water so we stuck our fingers in it and tried it. It made us feel so warm and so alive so we drank on, and on, and on. We quickly finished our drinks and then started to fall into a slow sleep, They must have drugged us, we all thought as we slowly fell into a deep sleep.

Diary 2: Day 1

I had spent a week preparing and packing my bags to go to the Matainui Islands, and now we were finally boarding the bus to leave to Kawhia harbor. Everyone was brimming with energy before we left, faces were filled with excitement.

It was a rough drive to kawhia harbour with bumps, twists, and turns but we finally managed to get there. Our smiles suddenly faded as we relized who was flying the plane, Samuel. "This can't be right," many people shouted. "He's only 11 years old!" Eventually we boreded the plane and got ready for take off. "Please fascin your seat belts as we are about to be taking off, thank you," Samuel called out through his microphone. The majority of us were still in shock from hearing we were being piloted by an 11 year old kid.

"Finally about 10 minutes until we arrive," James said excitedly. As everyone was chatting among themselves suddenly, everyone began to float up as though there was no gravity then suddenly we fell back down into our seats and the plane began plumbeting towards the ground.

Everyone was screaming and a few people were in tears, but above all the noise you could hear Samuel cry out "I NEVER PASSED MY TEST! AAAAAARRRRGGGGGHHHH!!!!"

We finally crash landed into the ocean, people were crying, everybody was in shock. There was no time to grab their packs for most people so everybody began swimming towards shore. It was about 1000 metres away so the majority of us needed help.

We finally reached the shore line and everybody began drying themselves off. "Oh no!" some body called out. "Ben, Jasser and Jordand are missing...

Eventually everyone finally got over the shoch that people were missing and got into their groups to decide what to do next. "Oi Malik, Mac, guess what I found out!" James said with an eager grin on his face. "The back of the plane is still sticking up above the water so their must be an air bubble in it!" "So," Mac said. "I bet you if we swam out their, there would be our bags in the plane, and we could catch our breath back in the air bubble." "Great! Malik you look after the stuff we've got now and me and james will go out to the plane."

Soon their plan was under way. Malik stayed on the shoreline and Mac and James swam out to the plane. Josiah, Sam, and Leon the followed James and Mac to see what they were doing.

After what seemed lik forever, James, Mac, Josiah, Sam, and Leon finally retured to shore. As Malik hurriedly lookied at what James and Mac brought, James went over to Josiah, Sam, and Leon and said "You guys owe us a share of what you guys got because it was our idea to go to the plane." James then came back to us with an extra parachute pack. "Sweet! We've got another 10 items, a ripped parachute, and a parachute!" Malik said excitedly. "We should find a place to stay at for the night." James said. "Lets go!"

We then set off to find a stream were we could camp next too, get fresh water, and be able to clean ourselves of all the dirt we had on us. We pitched the tent and set up a fire and got ready for a rough nights sleep.
