Kiaora Bloggers,
For the last couple of weeks Shaw literacy has been working on a mystery story to practise how to write a narrative. We had to write at least 2 pages of our narrative as narratives are quite long. We had to write about the genre Mystery because our teacher thought it would be cool for us to start writing narratives about Mystery. This is my story.
It was a cold and stormy Monday morning, with only a few clouds in sight. When everything suddenly happened out of the blue. As they were waking up from their 10-hour sleep, the grandparents thought something was happening but they didn’t know what it was, so they kept living their everyday morning routine. In a small, old cottage there were two little girls that only just started primary school and a just-married couple that were the grandparents to the little girls.
“Don’t you think something is a little bit odd this morning?” Asked the married granny.
“Well no, if something was odd we would have surely noticed what it was” Answered the husband.
“Well true, i’ll just start making breakfast to try getting my mind off it” Spoke the granny.
“Yes you do that then, while you’re at it will you be able to pour me a cup of tea because I seem a bit thirsty today?”Asked the grandpa.
So Granny got to work, preparing breakfast and making her new husband a cup of tea. Time went by faster than the newlyweds expected, the girls just woke up and the mail guy just stopped by to deliver their weekly mail that comes from all over the world. Then they all got together to eat their maple syrup on waffles, and for the girls Grandpa to sip on his tasty tea that they make from scratch every Monday. Suddenly, before their eyes, the couch started to disappear and they thought they were seeing things, but they weren't. Seconds after the couch disappeared, they then started to worry alot about what was happening.
“Ahh Granny, didn’t you used to have a couch there or did it randomly just disappear?”Asked one of the little girls named Ana.
“Yeah, I agree with what Ana asked” Joined Ellie.
Secretly without them knowing, the dining table slowly floated away in the fresh cold air. After they were finished eating their breakfast they got up, washed the dishes and got ready for the day. While the little girls were finishing getting ready for the day, they mysteriously heard a massive loud, thud near the end of the old cottage. The pair of them wanted to investigate a bit more, so they trotted about 5 cm down past their Granny and Grandpa’s room, shortly after theirs. The ancient, wooden door that had been standing there for longer than their Granny and Grandpa’s birth, just all of a sudden, vanished.
“Girls, what are you doing to make all that noise?”Panicky spoke Granny
“Ana, do you know if our Granny and Grandpa took the door out before we heard that loud noise?”Worriedly asked Ellie.
“I don’t think so, they would have told us before anyways”Answered Ana.
Grandpa had finally realised that it could be that evaporating mystery again. Nothing appeared to be weird for another two hours, so they didn’t know what to do with themselves for that long of time. Granny suggested that they walk down to their local park but that was about half an hour by car, but by foot it would be like two hours if they all went. Quietly, they decided to read a book to keep their minds off the vanishing and to keep them individually occupied. Time past by quickly when they were already getting bored from reading for 10 minutes straight.
Soon after, they laid their books down on their bed and hurried to where their Granny was calling them. What did you little mischievous do to my napping chair that was sitting here while I was in the kitchen making your lunch? They had no clue what she was talking about, they also thought a little about it being their Grandpa. Moments later, they were both glaring at their Grandpa with the most evilest look that they have ever seen on anybody, even the witch hasn’t even shown that face in her whole 5 years of being the most famous with. Together as a team the two little girls and their granny discussed who they think it could be and “it’s not Grandpa” Explained the Granny.
The front door slammed wide open and the tiny paintings on the wall fell off with a loud thud on the cracked, black carpet. It was someone with black hair and a tiny, twig-like body. The girls were scared and the Grandparents were worried about what the mysterious person would do to their Granddaughters. Powerfully, with humongously, black shoes he walked closer to the Grandparents and their Granddaughters. Granny thought that they were all going to die and that this will be their very last memory, that they had in their life but it wasn’t.
“Hello” spoke the mystery person.
“Hello, now who are you?” asked the Granny
“I’m the mysterious guy who has been doing something to the world” answered the mysterious stalker.
“You don’t look like you do stuff to the world because you look like an absolute stalker” complained the old Grandpa.
Scarcely looking into the eyes of each other, they all had an annoying look that sparkled in the daylight. He took a step closer to them all and his ears pricked up a loud panicking noise from the Grandparents. The newly married husband started to open his mouth but nothing came out, and he was so surprised about it all. The mysterious man decided to own up to what he did otherwise the police would take him into jail and never be seen again.
“It was me, who did all the disappearing” admitted the man.
“Well you did know that magic isn’t real and it was probably my Grandchildren messing around right?” angrily replied the Grandmother.
Then in a drop of rain, he magically disappeared and he left the family terrified. And that was the end of them seeing the disappearing. That's when everything suddenly returned to their normal places.
I hope you like my story and how I've presented it. Have you started your literacy sessions yet and have you written a Mystery Narrative story before?
