Before long Tom and Lizzie were a little bit afraid, that Dave had really meant what said about going to the mountains. In fact they became so afraid that Tom finally reacted.

“Alright Dave, this hike has been very nice but, don’t you think that we should start going back now?” asked Tom

“Yeah, what he said” added Lizzie

“You guys didn’t actually think we were going there?” replied Dave in a very serious voice.

“Well I thought you were just in the mood for something new and…”

“So, you didn’t believe any thing did you, the dream, the mission, and most of all you didn’t believe me!” Interrupted Dave

Lizzie was zipping her mouth while the two boys argued, she did want to go home but, for some reason she also wanted to see what is on the other side of the mountains. However for now the biggest thing that surprised her was how different the two boys were acting now. Usually the one of them did everything the other told him and that other never wanted anything more then to pull a prank.

“Fine if you want to leave, leave tomorrow morning, but for now let’s set up camp” said Dave

“But how, we have never set up camp before?”Asked Lizzie

“Well, let’s see…Ok I think I know, Tom you can get some wood for the fire and Lizzie you can help me build a shelter of some sort.”

“Ok” replied Tom trying to be optimistic.

As Tom rushed into the nearby woods Dave and Lizzie started working on their shelter.

“I have an idea” said Lizzie

Tom was surprised that Lizzie could possibly think of some shelter they could build with a bow and some arrows, picnic blanket, 5 hiking sticks, and some paper.

“Well what is it?”Inquired Dave curiously

“We take the four small hiking sticks and fix them in the ground, then we attach the blanket over them and…”

Lizzie stopped.

“Never mind, we don’t have anything to hold the blanket to the hiking sticks” she said sadly

“What about an arrow?” suggested Dave.

“That’s a good idea” exclaimed Lizzie after she thought about it for a second

“Ok…there, all the corners of the blanket are fixed to a stick.” said Dave proudly

“Now we put the big hiking stick in the middle and… were done” shouted Lizzie

After they got comfy in their new shelter they waited for Tom.

“If you don’t mind, I’m going to sleep” said Lizzie

“That’s ok” replied Dave

But in an hour Dave started to feel sleepy, Tom didn’t come back yet, and Dave assumed that Tom was still gathering wood and would wake him up when he got back. So he too went to sleep.

Hope you have fun!

This site is growing, so in response to that I have added a forum. There you are more then welcome to discuss topics of any kind. Enjoy!!

“Whoa! Calm down Dave” said Tom

“No, no calming down, I’m leaving tomorrow whether you are coming or not” replied Dave

“But you don’t even know where you’re going “insisted Tom

“Oh, I do, I know, I just need to see a map” said Dave

They quickly hiked down the hill and went to the library. When they arrived at the maps and geography section they found an atlas of the world. And there I was, from their town (Kelloney) to the undiscovered east. In between them and the east there were approximately five major cities and un-countable towns.

“There, we have to go over the Elnora River, through the city of Nemberigh, between the gorges, over the prairies, and over the mountains.” explained Dave

“Then what? “Asked Tom suspiciously

“I don’t know “said Dave “But I do know that we should stay out of the way of the mayor until we get back”

“I agree with you on that one” admitted Tom “And it would be pretty cool to find out what lies on the other side of those mountains.”

Good then we are settled, the day after tomorrow we will leave. But tonight we need to get a good night rest, and don’t forget this is a secret” said Dave

Later that night Tom had arranged a list of things that he needed to buy in order to accompany Dave on his little adventure. Tom thought that Dave had pretended to runaway so, he didn’t put too many clothing items on the list, still he did bring money because after all, you never know.

The next day was a busy one for both tom and Dave. Tom firs went to the bank to withdraw a handsome sum of money that he had been collecting,($100).Dave on the other hand, went to get some bow and arrows from a nearby hunting tavern.

Dave goes to the general store. Tom goes to the Farmers Market. Dave goes to the hiking store. Tom goes to the utility store. And so on and so forth. But in the end they ended up with three backpack loads of stuff, which after some debating with a local cart salesman ended up on their backs.

“And now for the hard stuff” sighed Dave

“Yes, how and when are we going to leave” said Tom

“Well it would be best to leave in the morning when everyone is asleep.” said Dave thoughtfully

“What time?”Asked Tom

“How’s four thirty for you” inquired Dave

“Sure, whatever, oh and where?” replied Tom

“Same hill I had the dream on” commanded Dave

“Ok, see you” exclaimed Tom

Tom woke up at four thirty sharp. How he did this I do not know but maybe it’s the anxiety of the moment or something, but anyway Tom got to the hill and waited for Dave who arrived minutes later.

“Come on, let’s go” Shouted Dave

“Here we go” said tom quietly as he caught up to Dave

“And where exactly would that be” said a familiar disgusting voice

“Let me handle this” whispered Dave to Tom “Oh Lizzie we are just going on a picnic.” Said Dave

“With bows and arrows” replied Lizzie

“Oh fine you got us again, we are going on a journey that could mean our death. And you’re not coming along” mumbled Dave although he regretted saying that “not coming along” part because now he feared Lizzie would tell her father. So he did the next best thing.

“Look Liz we are just going to try to hunt some deer” demanded Dave

“Oh no that won’t work this time, I’m coming along weather you like it or not” exclaimed Lizzie

And despite Dave’s best efforts Lizzie did come along. And amazingly they were able to cooperate more or less. But that would soon stop when they discovered what this journey was really going to be.

About the middle of July, during the eleventh through sixteenth years of my life, my parents would allow me to visit my grandfather on his estate in Italy. His estate was a French-style chateau, but it wasn’t the chateau that interested me. What interested me on his estate was the remaining structure of a medieval castle. Within the castle’s great room, at the northwest corner, was a stone stairway that led to what would appear to have been a cellar. At the bottom of the stairway was a sturdy and robust oak door.

I took me several summers to find it. There had been a barricade of useless items in front of the door. Old building stones, timbers, and varied items of debris were there for centuries serving as an obstacle to its discovery.

I was sixteen years old when I was finally able to wedge open the door just enough to peer through that darkened threshold. From the light of my flash light, I saw nothing. The light seemed to stop at the door, I should have too. But curiosity overcame my feel of instinct. I felt surprisingly calm for the amount of time that I spent digging this “archaeological” find out.

“Do hurry up” wailed my impatient sister behind me.

“Not yet, I want grandpa to come too” I replied

“Fine but hurry up and get him!” said my sister obnoxiously.

“No need, I’m already here” said grandpa

Excitedly, I grabbed a timber from the floor and began to wedge the door for a wider opening-an opening I could go through. After squeezing through the door opening, I was overwhelmed by…by…by…well it cannot be described, there was a feeling of danger, old and a feeling of safety and new all at the same time.

“Aghaaa!”My sister screamed

“What is it?!” I asked

“The door shut by itself” she said in a sacred voice.

Needing fresh air, I tried to open the door. I yanked and I jerked but it was no use, it would not budge. Desperately I looked for an opening. But just as I have feared there were none close to us. Then I grabbed my sister by the arms and told her to stay close. If we are going to get out of here we are going to get out of here together. The rest of the story is rather frightening; therefore reader is advised. I decided that while we’re here we might as well find some candles and supplies (we never got to the supply part). Candles because I wanted to conserve battery power on my flashlight. Fortunately, I found some candles nearby. I lit one with some flint that I found then amazingly the candle shown brighter than my flashlight ever did, but that was not important.

“Wow!” My sister and I said simultaneously

“Look at all this stuff,” I said

And indeed there was more stuff here than in my grandmas nine storage units. There were coins and chests and armour and… Wait! The armour had some sort of a stick sticking out from it. When I took a closer look…

“Aghh, a human skeleton is in that suit of armour!”

My little sister fainted! From there I had to carry her. The other funny thing was that the deeper I went the dizzier I got. Then one simple thought cleared my mind like a very strong perfume!

“If there is a skeleton here then that means that somebody died here, and that means that either they couldn’t find an opening or that there is some other danger frightening and killing in here.” I thought out loud

“A light!” I exclaimed

Not for one second did I stop to think what that light was, I just started running toward it. I reached the door that I started from.

“Did I scare you?” said grandpa laughing.

“Hey, was it you who closed the door?” I asked sternly.

“Yes” said grandpa in a laughing voice.

“We have to go kids,” shouted dad

The shout woke my sister who was more than happy to be awake. We hurried upstairs for today we were heading home.

I don’t know if that was a joke or not but what that skeleton was doing there I shall never know. But little did he know that grandpa was the skeleton, but fake grandpa killed him. Anyway he lived happily ever after… or did he?

This story was stated from the book:

Below is a photo of my drawing that I did on May,16,2008 It contains of some flowers and a window in the back.

(The scan didn’t show up very well, sorry)

“Well, well, well, what do we have here” exclaimed Lizzie (the mayor’s daughter).

“Ok, Lizzie you got us, here is the briefcase” said Dave.

Tom looked at Dave in a very surprised way. Why would Dave surrender so easily? Tom thought to himself.

“You know that my impressions are very low of you two, but never the less you do know when to give up” said Lizzie in the nastiest voce you’ll ever hear.

“I guess that even we get tired of getting into trouble, but anyway see you later” replied Dave in a rather innocent type of voice.

“See you losers later, but consider yourself beaten by a girl” screamed Lizzie

Lizzie of course, hurried down from the roof entered the school and was proudly showing off how she “defeated” the two biggest trouble makers in the school. When the mayor saw that his daughter had found the missing briefcase he complimented her greatly.

“Well its fair time that I should hand over the school scholarship papers to the head master” echoed the mayor’s voice in the gymnasium. The eager headmaster tried hard not to tell the mayor to cut the talking and start that “handing over” part. The mayor slowly bent over to open the briefcase. The headmaster started to bend over himself, preparing to receive the papers. The mayors slowly opened the briefcase.

“Mice!” shouted the mayor and the headmaster simultaneously. Everybody started screaming and shouting, the entire school was filled with the hollers and screams of more than 700 student and teachers.

“Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!” Dave and Tom shouted now two blocks away. But their shouting stopped when the mayor came out. Even from far away you could see that he had a terrible look on his face, the look of a murderer, or so it seemed from that distance.

“Oh no” whispered Dave “we have to hide, for at least three hours or so” he continued

“Well we could hide on that hill over there Dave, maybe take a nap” suggested Tom

“That sounds like a good idea Tom” said Dave. So they went to the hill in the country side and very soon fell asleep.

“Aghh” screamed Dave

“What is it!” asked Tom

“I just had a dream that told me that you and I would have to leave home for our own safety a-a-a-and it also said that the town is in danger.” said Dave in very rare scared voice.

“Go where?”Inquired Tom

“To the end of the world…
