I am in front of the rest and almost there, all I have to do is beat the three monsters and the live vines. I run up to the monsters cave and scream, they all hear me and come running out, I kick, punch and run around them, trying to make them confused. It works but it isn't enough, then I see a sword, I quickly run to it and hold it up. I climb onto the nearest rock and stab the three monsters in the chest one by one. They fall to the ground and I continue my assigned quest. Then I come to the live vines they sense my presents and start throwing big rocks at me, trying to make me leave, but I am determined to win and get to the end. I try to dodge the rocks but they are too big, so I look around for anything I can use to help me. Then I remember I still have my sword, I dive in and slice the vines in half. I make my way through the mess of vines on the ground and then I see it, it's the end. I run as fast as I can and cross the finish line and wait for my score……..FIRST!!!!
“Kathline, dinner time” my mum calls from the kitchen “O.K coming,” I reply, I put down my controller and walk to the kitchen.
