The Beast

Ash-lee, Ava and Drenna

Humming gently above the water, the motor was groaning,  two blades were slicing the water making the water foamy and a dark brown. The boat was gliding above the water going 250 mph.  Beads of sweat were forming on our foreheads from the thick hot air entering our lungs and back out our noses and mouths.  I ruffled my hair and looked at the deep dark depths below, a shadow went past, a big long black figure, I staggered backwards and screamed to my crew ‘’TURN THE MOTOR ON!!’’ The shadowy figure was rising and bubbles were steaming from under the dark murky water. I shot a quick glimpse of the beast that my crew had lured in, It had spikes down its back and pimply skin, the beast's jaws were open wide and looked as sharp as fresh razor blades that could pierce your skin with a tiny amount of pressure, the gnashers from the beast were the only white in all of the brownness, It’s tail was trailing behind it thrashing sideways and making more bubbles rise, I was engulfed in this beasts majestic ways and all its details, The beast had picked up speed and was coming towards the bubbling surface, again I screamed “ QUICK TURN ON THE MOTOR, IT’S GOING TO COME UP TO THE SURFACE!!’’ at this point we were chewing off our fingernails hoping we will survive.

Frightened we carried on riding along the smooth water making small waves. BANG! Our boat stops, we try switching it on but it doesn’t  work. We look around nothing but water. We stand there looking around for something to come, suddenly the boat moves like something  smashed into it. Sounds of splashing , our hearts pumping blood around our body at lightning speed. We move very slowly to look over the edge.

The Beast turned around and glided through the water with ease, turning around it slowly prepared itself to launch out of the water, it disappeared, we took one last look over the ed….
