Since Tim was home alone for a hour or two he thought he would try it out next-door had Oak tree and Tim’s Dad had his own little aquarium. Tim’s next door neighbour was old and grumpy he was about as tall as Tim but was about ten times older than Tim. Tim went to the back of the garden and climbed over the fence when he got over there it was a big Oak tree lots of acorns were on the floor around him so Tim decided to fill his pockets full. Tim forgot to switch off his computer and it was still translating the next thing it translated was “If this gets into any human hand I would be very careful if entering the World.” Tim got the little fishing net his Dad used if a fish died so he scooped out a fish put it into his hand and went out into the garden, he dug a little hole put in the acorns and fish and filled it with water he then covered up the hole with the soil he had just removed and waited!
Tim was getting bored and was about to go in when he saw the ground moving up and down like a heart a ray of light shot out from the ground opening up a gate way to someone where Tim put in his hand and then his leg and then something yanked him into the gate way! It was a strange feeling it felt like time was stood still but he was moving not fast but not slow you could almost say it was being on a fairground slide suddenly something went past his head as he looked back it looked like a strange creature with pointy ears and it appeared to be sort of swimming.
Tim hit the ground with a thud he knew at once he was in a different place and it wasn’t Egypt it was no where he had ever seen the sky was an orange colour and the air smelt clean. There were big buildings and he seemed to be quite far away from them, he seemed to be in a garden well he thought it was a garden as it had grass but this grass was a really light shade of green. Then he heard a familiar noise from a building next to him it was the sound of a dog the sound became closer and there it was but it wasn’t what he expected at all it was robotic dog like the poochi you could buy in the toy shops but this one had a lot of accessories and it almost acted the same way as a real dog. It came near Tim and started to roll over and then went into the bushes and got a little squeaky toy and dropped it at Tim’s feet so Tim threw the toy and the Dog went to fetch it. Tim started hearing voices from the house he wasn’t nervous as the dog came back with its squeaky toy!
The owners of the house stepped outside not really noticing Tim then one stopped and whispered something in the other things ear Tim looked at these funny looking people they had long ears and they were short and one had a long nose and if you put a humans face and a frogs face together you would get the face Tim was looking at one was a obviously a woman as she was wearing a dress she had funny hands as she only had 3 fingers on each but the supposed man had 6 fingers. Tim was starting to think what he had got himself into here then he plucked up the courage to ask “who are you?”
The funny looking woman replied “ we are goblins don’t you even know who we are, you are programmed to know who we are!” The woman whispered (but of course Tim could still hear her) “dear I hope we didn’t get another duff one I mean we have saved for so long to get the latest model!” Tim’s mind was flicking over the words the woman goblin had said like programmed, latest model?? Why were they saying such things?
Tim asked “Am I supposed to be a model or robot or something am I supposed to have a chip inside of me?”
“This one keeps asking questions we should really report this to the manufacturer!” Said the Man Goblin.
“Look I am not a robot and I am not programmed to do anything so could you please tell me what is going on?” Then Tim remembered the golden and silver book he had put it in his pocket so he decided to reveal the book to the man and woman, their faces looked very scared and they started to back away the man started to speak in a very strange language and then said to Tim
“Are you from the other world and where did you find that book?”
“ eerrrrr........I guess I am from another world as this is different from home and I found this book on a beach in the other world,” answered Tim “why all the questions is it important?” The man said
“Come inside and I will tell you the whole story of why we didn’t really like the book!” Tim decided to follow the man and woman goblin into there house. Inside the house was two clocks one with real worlds time on and the other one with the time at home (other world) they had several computers and they had a Television which was linked to the whole house so they could press a button and that button would do something to make there lives easier what geniuses thought Tim how small brained people could do this it was amazing!
“Now I came to tell you about the book Human, its powers are beyond ours and if all the powers are released it could bring an end to this world, now listen closely!” Tim put his body forward to hear more clear. “Now a Millennium ago Goblins, dragons and fairies didn’t get along at all there was a big civil war going on so the government made up mostly of Imps and there was one or two Wizards decided to bring this book together. They put all the town to sleep with a big spell and took all the hatred out the Dragons and fairies but we got away with it as we were the weaker ones. It was decided that if we dared to start a fight with any of the Dragons or Fairies we would be banished from the land and this was put into the that book with also some horrible spells now the Dragons are a mode of transport and the Fairies live mainly inner City and us Goblins outer City so it doesn’t bother us much now. The book was copied and the government kept one and they through one into the other world knowing that a Human would never translate it but you obviously did so if someone else steals that book from you they will be cursed with bad luck for life, on the other hand you are the only one who can cast the spells from it.”
“What if I want to get rid of it?” asked Tim
“Well you have to lock it with the same thing you opened it with and that is it! Hey I think I know what you will like to see, our Dragon he is 10 months old now and is really good to play with just watch out for his flames.”
The woman then said “But the government will soon detect his arrival they know everything that goes in and out of the city and will know that he is here and will not let him out unless he has a passport or until he has been fined or tortured.” Tim was starting to get worried, “He won’t be able to go back home until otherwise.” Suddenly bangs at the door came and flashes of light came from outside, at once Tim knew they had lasers and that they were after him, “Human get on our Dragon He is the only way out of here as you can only run and as long as you have the book you will be fine.” Tim had never flown a Dragon before and it was like being in a Helicopter but with out the propellers there was a harness around the Dragons head and the Dragon also had a collar Tim looked at it and it said that its name was Herbert! strange name for a Dragon but the Dragon also had a little sort of camera on the top of its head, Tim decided to ignore that. Soon Tim heard the Police sirens he looked back and it was Witches on brooms Tim pulled the Dragons harness and Herbert flew even faster then before Tim thought he was going to fall off but he held on.
Tim was still being chased by these Witches but now they were shooting at him with their wands. Then from the thing Tim thought was a camera up popped a screen and on the screen was the woman goblin “Human if you are in the city try heading into the back alley as that will keep you safe for the mean while and it will give Herbert a rest!” So Tim did just that and went into one of the back alley he saw the Witches fly over where he was but then they flew off.
“Oh a Human!” This made Tim jump,
“who are you back there?”
“Oh it asks questions it was probably thrown away by its master or maybe the chip was dodgy.” A horrible screeching laugh came from where the person was standing. Slowly the thing walked into the light it was a Elf he was green in colour and very short and up to Tim hand he had a very croaky voice. “My name is Winkles, it is a stupid name and the people who know me call me winks that is a lot better.” Croaked the Elf “You Human will obey every command I give you.
“ Look here I am not a robot I am from the other World and could you explain why people think I am a robot?”
“Don’t get stressy at me man and I will tell you why people call you a robot it is because about two centuries ago now a human entered our world the Government decided to put him to sleep and get his D.N.A and clone him they then threw him back into the other World and they made clones from his D.N.A they put a chip into the clones brain telling them how to wash, clean and them sort of things and every time the chip is updated the human can do a lot more things but it costs a lot. Oh yeah and the Human clone is not allowed to ask questions as this shows that the human is faulty or the chip is faulty most people send it back and get a new one.”
Suddenly the peaceful music the Elf’s radio was playing stopped and a man or woman you can’t really tell the difference and the person who was speaking said “Police reports have shown that there is someone from the other world, he has a Dragon about a year old, the government have sent out the army and the police force, there are fears growing that he got here via the ancient book so we would like you not to panic and if you see him you are advised to report it to the Police station.Thankyou.” Then the peaceful music started to play again Winks and Tim both looked at other in shock over the radio Herbert was really tired and didn’t really care. Tim decided to stay where he was for the night as light was quickly turning into dark.
Tim was woken by Winks screaming at him “they have invited fairies to come and help find you!!!!!”
“So what I wanna go back to sleep.” Cried Tim.
“Look fairies aren’t like you get in your story books they are really evil, the government is probably going to pay the fairies a lot of money and if we don’t get you out of here soon the fairies will......” the elf was interrupted by a strange hovering noise in the sky. “Its the fairies Tim you have to get out of here and there’s only one way. There is a place in the Government building where if everything fails to get a Human out of here they will push a button and everything that has human type skin will be sucked out of this world and into the human world, the things that will be sucked out will be the Wizards, you and most if not all of the clones.”
“Sounds good, but how do we get into the Government building?” replied Tim.
“The chances of getting into this Government building are a million to one but I know where the weakness is as I used work in the building itself, I was a slave to the Wizards bringing there potions back and forth for them and while doing this job I overheard a lot of conversations.”
“Why did they sack you?” asked Tim.
“Well you see I tripped over and spilt Biochloric acid over a Wizard it is acidic that it goes of the acid scale. Any way there is a brick round the back of the building that if pressed opens a door at the back of the building,” said Wink. So Wink, Herbert and Tim walked in the shadows of the alley ways trying not to disturb sleeping trolls and so walked on passed shops of potions and shops of healers but then they got to where they wanted to be the government building. They were in the back alley Tim and Herbert were waiting for Wink to press a brick. Finally after about ten minutes of Herbert moaning about being hungry, Tim trying to get him to eat a half eaten apple from the bins, also trying not to let Herbert give there position away and Wink pressing all the bricks in the area he said it was, he eventually found the brick he wanted.
“Bingo!” shouted Wink “I have found the Brick,” and sure enough a piece of wall moved to the left and revealed an entrance, so the group decided to walk in.
The place Tim walked into was dark and dingy most of the lights were out apart from a few that flickered every now and then the air smelt funny like nothing Tim had smelt before, there were spiders webs everywhere it was like this place had never been used or even cleaned. As they got to the corridor they could see a much brighter light shining through the gaps in the old wooden door. Tim looked through the keyhole and it was amazing he had never seen so many computers all with bright lights and flashes every second everyone running around frantically to get up to date news on the city, “use this when we attack Tim,” said Wink Tim banged his head on the door handle, it made Tim jump.
“What is it?” asked Tim.
“ It is a Atom gun,” replied Wink “Herbert can use his fire to singe the Elf’s and Wizards and we can use our atom guns to freeze them.”
“Yes that is nice but what does the gun actually do?” asked Tim.
“Ah well this gun makes the atom of the chosen substance as big as the object you are shooting at and then the gun freezes the atom also freezing the object. The object stays frozen for about 2 hours so that should give us enough time OK Tim!”
“That is fine by me Wink so when are we going to barge in then?”
“On the count of three, one.......two.............three.”
The three of them barged in and into what looked like a control room as quick as Tim’s finger could go he started pulling the trigger so many times his finger started to go numb. When all the atoms in Tim’s atom gun were gone Tim was about to reload when he noticed that there was no one moving they were either burnt to death or in a atom. Tim, Herbert and Wink, Wink was leading the group down the corridor when he found the room he was looking for but it was sealed tight, Herbert tried his fire on the door then Herbert stopped and some more fire came from some where else. The group looked behind only to find 3 dragons all ready to fight they had black colour and red eyes that looked like they were about to pop, the dragons had spikes on the end of there tail. Tim once again started firing till his finger went numb, “soon the dragons will break free they will break out in a maximum of ten minutes so we will open the door by pressing this button in the room the dragons were in Tim I will do that while you wait there then you can press the button and you will be back home in a flash. I will program it to only take you nothing else and I wish you the best of luck on your Journey home Tim.”
“Thanks Wink, Herbert won’t mind helping you get back to safety,” replied Tim, as soon as Tim had finished saying them words the radio in the room Wink had entered said that the town will be put to sleep after a Millennium of piece as once again the Dragons and Fairies had broken out into a fight causing another civil war.
“Look Tim your going to have to hurry the door should now open and get out of here otherwise you will get put to sleep,” sure enough the door opened a gas came out of the seal Tim could see the button but Tim was getting tired and it seemed as though his body was slowing down he then heard Wink say “oh no the ageing gas. Tim you need to get to your world as quick as you can as you are ageing quickly and before long you will die if you age quickly and when you get back to your world you will be back to normal so hurry!!” Tim’s body seemed to be getting heavier. The button seemed further away. The button started to become blurred in front of him but he finally felt his hand touch the button. The floor broke away opening another gate way back to his world.
Tim all of a sudden felt really sleepy his head felt like lead like all of his other muscles. Then he felt his body hit the ground he felt funny for a minute or two then his whole body felt like a feather. He got up and was relieved to see his house once again, he looked at his watch it was the same time it was when he left the house very strange! He went inside he remembered that his mum and dad would be home in about twenty minutes so he got the book out of his pocket. Went up stairs and into his bedroom he thought about locking the book back up and then thought again he put the book into his draw and placed it on top of his other books that he had read, he saved what the translator had translated. He put his dads screwdriver back into his dads tool box and went back up stairs to see what had been translated.
Tim was flicking through the translated part, when he found the part “If this gets into any human hand I would be very careful if entering the world.” Tim understood what this meant as he had nearly been killed from ageing gas and everyone was looking for him but Tim didn’t mind he had a great time and no one would ever visit there again as he had the book. Tim heard the door slam and knew it was his parents.
“Hello son” cried Tim’s dad.
“Hello dear how was your trip?” cried Tim’s mum. Tim ran down the stairs and replied,
“Well it was different and I met a lot of new people and I would go again.”
“Dear we lived at the seaside for 10 years and you hated every minute of it and you never had any friends and you never even talked to anyone.” replied Tim’s mum.
“Well I have changed and can we go there again please,” said Tim and he whispered to himself “maybe next time I could take some acorns and a fish.” Suddenly a shout came from the kitchen it was dad,
“what has happened to my beloved fish one is missing, TIM what have
you done!!!!!!”
The End
