Polly's version of Little Red Riding Hood

Amber hood
It was a sunny morning, me, Amber woke up with my face in the wrinkly book. The curtains were already pulled back, obviously by Mum. The sunlight streamed in and bloodshot my eyes.

Then I had a nice wet greeting by the dog, Birdie. Suddenly a bird flew in the window....... SMACK!! The hair on dog stood up, I laughed. I got up. I put on my fluffy pink dressing gown and lead the worried dog down the grey apartment stairs.

I found mum lying on the ground with a sauce pan on her face and ketchup every where. I ran back upstairs,got changed ,hopped back down. My eyes flinched to the door, a creepy black figure slid out the door. I ran out the wooden door after the figure and into the city...... Then the figure disappeared to thick black dust. I stopped then I saw a scroll in a cold blue bottle with a velvet red ribbon around it. It said

"Dear Amber ,you may think I'm gone but ,my dear I'm in your world now. Good day
Xx
P.s watch out"
What does that mean? I thought to my self. Then I heard a big HONK!!!!!! I curiously looked behind ,a car was coming. Ahhhh!!! I screamed. I ran to the other side of the road.... No!! I tripped up on a squashed coke can, I quickly pulled myself up, painfully and scared. " I'm too young to DIE!!" I cried out. I stumbled to the side walk, I lay there for a few minutes, shocked and scared. I took a few big breaths and got up, I was in the middle of nowhere! I could not see our apartments?!

I stood there just shocked out of my skin. Then I felt a wet long thing slither up my leg. I froze, I took a glinting look at it, it glared back at me with bloodshot eyes. And it said " your auntie is waiting for you..." The snake slithered back down and scuttled away.

I saw a paddock of horses, I ran over to the paddock ,grabbed the horse ,saddled ' er up jumped on and strode away. Swishing and squishing on the horses lumpy back, and strode swiftly away.

I forgot all about mum, I anxiously rode up to a deep dark spooky woods. I followed a random dirt path, and came up to a small cottage... Then a creepy knobbly little head poked out of the window. " hello dear" she said in a raspy cold voice. It was a nailbiting moment, I went inside saying to my self hopelessly " this isn't auntie jones, it's someone else!" I leaped up on her boldly and said " your not my auntie jones!!" Then I screamed. "Hahahahahahaha " she said in an evil voice. Before she could say anything else I ran out of the house and slammed the door. " she thought I would seriously fall for THAT" I said to myself, as I galloped away briskly on my horse.

I put the horse back in its paddock and ran home like lightning and into my mums arms. She felt weak and cold " what happened?" I asked her. She did not reply... Then I felt something shaking me. "Wake up! Wake up! You're gonna be late for school!"
It was all a dream!
