2/20/2014

3 Comments

My friends Grace, Liam, and Joey crept slowly up to the bridge. We were trying to get to the magic tree house. I couldn't believe that we were fighting on an actual adventure! It was very dark, except for a glowing red mountain. It looked like a volcano with it's loud spewing sound, of hot liquid flying up. Then Liam said, " Look it's the tree house!" We all looked up and saw it. It was glowing brightly, as if the sun was shining brightly on it. We rushed forward up to the tree house! We were here at last!
