‘’Run, my children, Run!’’ cried Jack’s terrified Mum. His dad flew to Mexico and that was the last time any of them saw him so they didn’t want to leave her in the face of danger because of this and because of the horrible creature behind so they ran as fast as they could. Suddenly they heard a loud ‘’ROAR’’. They all jumped in fright. Four of the six fainted. Now only Jack and his brother Tom were left. With the remaining strength in their body, they ran to see where the beast was. It was on a hill and searching for them too. Suddenly it spotted them. ‘’ROAR’’ the beast roared so loud that it knocked Tom out!!!

Jack ran for his life. The monstrous beast chased him to almost certain death. Suddenly out of the corner of his eye he spotted an axe. He held it up, fearing the worst, but the creature was petrified at the sight of the axe. So he cut the beast in half because it had hurt his family, destroyed his dad and now was attacking him. When he cut the beast he felt wonderful because of the horrid things it had done.
