The Last Human?... | Chapter 7: Running into HOH

 

"But where are we going to find some?" Ava asked. "Well, I think I know where." Mira replied as she asked them to follow her to her destination. They eventually walked for an hour until they reached a cave with mystical blue glowing inside. They walked in as they saw the mysterious glowing goo dripping inside. "Finally after so long!" Ava yelled. "I'll grab some gretor inside this jar. I never knew this actually might be the right location." Mira said as she scraped gretor into the jar. "Do you think it will work?" Ava asked patiently. "Yes, I'm very certain it will." Mira said confidently. "We need to go now. It's dark outside." Mira instructed. They walked home, but since it was so dark, luckily Mira was prepared and brought her flashlight to light the way.

As they reached home, Ava felt super excited. Ava, Will and Mira all rushed up to her parents. "So how do you break the trance with the gretor?" Ava asked. "Easy. All you have to do is put some gretor onto their hands." Mira replied. "Huh, that's a weird way of breaking their trance." First, they wore some gloves so that they wouldn't get stuck in a trance like they were, then they spread some gretor onto her parents' hands like spreading peanut butter and jelly in some toast, and slowly but surely, her parents snapped out of it. "Ava?" Her mom called out to her. "MOM! DAD!" She shouted as she hugged her parents tightly. "Where were you all this time?" Her dad asked. "Oh, this is going to be a long story." Ava said.

She explained how she rode on her bike to her grandma's house and how she met Will. She then told them about how she broke the trances of her family. "Whoa, that's loads." Her dad said with awe. "I'm so sorry you had to get through this. It must have been so hard for you." Her mom said. They then broke into a tight hug. 

They ate dinner, but Ava noticed something about her mum's face. It looked concerned. But she also had a gut feeling that maybe her mum wanted to tell her something. "Is there anything you want to tell us?" Ava asked and noted the worried look on Chloe, her mother. "Uh... yeah." Chloe said with a devastated look on her face. "The people who are missing, if you noticed, are trapped. We were one of them trapped inside gooey cocoons, but we managed to escape. Wert -hunters of human they call themselves- use people as slavery." Chloe explained. "So you technically got kidnapped?" Ava said. "Yes. It all started at night. Wert took us and we went to their base, which since they covered our faces with empty sacks, we couldn't see the location of their base." Chloe said about their experience. "It's near to a cave that has glowing liquid dripping everywhere." It's secret, so if you want to go inside, then you have to go inside a little bit more." There was a silence that was sharp as a blade of a knife. "I've come up with a plan." Ava stated out. "We're going to save those people." 

Ava grabbed her jacket and pulled her gloves and shoes. "Ava, are you sure about this?" Chloe touched her shoulder. "Yes, Mum. If going out there means saving millions of lives, then yes, I am going." Ava declared. "Wait!" Will went after her. "If you're going, then I am too." Will announced. "Come on then!" Ava said impatiently. 

They ran because they knew how urgent the situation was. For 20 minutes they ran until they were really tired, huffing and puffing so hard that they almost were the big bad wolves from Three Little Pigs. "Do you think we should walk?" Will looked at Ava with a pleading look. "Definitely." She said. Suddenly, they stopped dead in their tracks as they heard stomps hit contact in the ground so hard they felt the ground shake. "Is that..." Will looked frightened as if he saw a ghost. "Wert." Ava tried to look calm, but she was terrified inside. "Wait, if they're wert, why does their badges say "HOH"?" Will looked at their badges. Ava thought for a moment what it might stand for. "OH. It stands for Hunters of Humans!" Ava realised. "Oh yeah!" Will said. "SHH! They can hear you!" Ava shushed him. Horrifically, footsteps moved closer. "HALT! WHO ARE YOU?!" One of the HOH asked. They were wearing masks so Ava couldn't make out the wert's voice. Will, on the other hand, audibly gulped. They exchanged looks. They were in big, big trouble.

The First-Ever Triumphant Victory of Sophia Ysabel

Everywhere I look, the streets of Wellington were filled with vandalism and graffiti. Loads of people always looked like ants scattering for food which is exactly what people do in lunchtime. Inside my cozy home, I was putting on my school uniform which had the ''slogan'' printed on the side of the uniform. It was Kake Tonu or Ever Upwards in Maori. In the back it had a sun with a weirdly detailed face. I swiftly grabbed my water bottle and put on my shoes. It was time to head down to the Sports Stadium. As I entered the stadium, hundreds of children were in rinks scurrying around frantically playing Floorball. "Great. Another not victorious win." I thought to myself. We lost loads of times. I figured that although with my team's skills and mine, we still wouldn't go home without a victory. I glanced at the kids playing in the rinks. They looked somehow desperate to win a game, with serious looks in their eyes. I grabbed my stick and sat down ne

SPECIAL Post Bulletin * Grading to 6th Kyu*

Image
Location:  GKR Karate Johnsonville Prime I stepped into the dojo as I grinned with embarrassment. My family and I were grading to (moving up to) green belt. The order of belts went like this; white, yellow, orange (which I currently was), green, blue, red, brown and black. But it wasn't going to be easy grading to these different coloured belts. The average person to become a black belt took 4-5 years! And currently, I was less than a year at karate. "Lining up!" one of the senseis (instructors) bellowed. "Hai!" the students grading shouted in response.  Shouting "hai" was acknowledging senseis when they say instructions. It was also a way to show that you were listening. If you didn't shout, you would need to do a certain amount of push-ups. I would say it was quite fair though. My heart was beating so fast, it could play the drums. We did some warm-ups as I jogged, jumped, stretched and shook my body to say "WAKE UP, SOPHIA! YOU'RE GRADI

Different Types of Poetry

Image
Hello! In today's blog, I'm going to unveil some different poems that I learnt at school. Poems, I think, are a great way to express yourself. While making poems, I find the process of writing them really fun. So let's get started! Haikus Haikus originated from Japan. Haikus are short line of poetry, but that's not all. There are a few compulsory rules that need to be followed by making haikus; 1. There are only three lines in a haiku 2. The first line needs to have 5 syllables, the second line 7 syllables and the last line is 5 syllables 3.There are no more than 17 syllables in the whole poem Now, you might be wondering by Rule 2. That's what makes haikus more challenge to compose. But if you want an even bigger challenge, then when you're writing, you shouldn't give away what you're writing about. Like, for example:                                                            Books                                                      Fun, imaginative
