In the year 1843 a kind, helpful girl named Isabella was walking on a
beautiful, sunny beach. While she was walking she came across her best
friend Eve, Eve always acted weird but Isabella was so afraid to tell her.
This time she wanted to tell her so she said, “umm Eve why have you been
acting so weird lately” and Eve said “well Isabella I’ve been waiting to
show you this so come with me”. Isabella followed, Eve led her to a dark,
black, hollow cave, and she showed Isabella her magic, like turning wood
into gold and turning an apple into a cake. Isabella was so amazed she
wanted to know how Eve got magic, Eve said that she was given silver dust
by a lady, she said that the lady said sprinkle a pinch of it over your
head .So Eve had sprinkled some of that dust over Isabella’s head, Eve
said “wait a while till you can use your magic other wise you’ll be cursed
forever! Isabella thought that she should wait. She waited and waited
until Eve told her she could use her powers. The first magic trick she
done was turn a rock as small as a mushroom into silver it worked so well
that she always used her powers 8 years later her powers ran out, she was
so angry that she went running as fast as she could through a forest. The
next day she went missing .Her best friend Eve was looking for her that
whole day, they couldn’t find her. They put up flyers, drove around town
looking for her and they even set up a search party for Isabella.
Isabella’s family was very heartbroken, sad and devastated for Isabella’s
disappearance. A few weeks later a man claimed that that he saw a girl
faint on a rock near his house but he said when he splashed water on her
face she woke up and ran away. So the police got involved and searched
thru all towns, beaches and forests, they didn’t find anything except
Isabella’s cloths at the beach on the sand, they tried to identify the
clothes but the didn’t find any clues. Eve didn’t have anymore plans left
so she clumsily sat on her favourite comfy chair and turned the TV on,
while she was flicking thru the channels she came across the news channel
the newsperson said that they found a girl name Isabella washed out on the
beach 8pm at night they straight away took her to ‘sunville hospital’. Eve
ran to her mum and said, “mum please can we go to ‘sunville hospital’ they
said on the news they found Isabella washed up on the beach” her mum said
“ok we’ll go”. So her mum drove her ‘sunville hospital’. They found
Isabella’s room; Eve ran straight to Isabella, they talked about what
happened. In a few years later they all forgot what happened and they were
still best friends and now best friends forever.
