Creature Writing: The Werewolf

This is my creature writing. For our writing, we could chose either, going down something slippery, getting you tooth pulled out, or about a creature. Mine is DEFINITELY fake (We had a choice). My story was originally called Tom and Bloodwrath, then just Tom, now The Werewolf. I am currently making a second story (Different plot and name, just the same storyline). This took ages to write. My writing goal is vocabulary. I have done quite a lot of vocabulary in my work. It is important to have vocab in your writing because it makes your writing better and makes it more fun. It is a good idea to have vocabulary in your writing because every good writer should have vocab. I am proud of this because it was quite fun to make and I am glad I finished it. I also like it because it's normal at the start (Mostly). Then it starts to get more and more creative. What I could of done better is making it a little shorter, because this took about 2 weeks to make. Plus I had to stay in at Morning tea and Lunch. What I think I have done well is hooking the reader in. It can easily hook you in. Some vocab I used in my story was at the start when I said "All I could see was white, the whole white, and nothing but white". I have lots of description and it is a adventurous, Exciting story.  
These are some of the descriptive words I used in my writing
Whimpering, woozy, devour, ginormous, snarling, stunningly, pummelled, sinister




 Chapter 1: The Snow
The snow blurred in my face.  All I could see was white, the whole white, and nothing but white.  I had Antarctic gear on.  Surely Vancouver was mistaken for Antarctica?  But first let me introduce myself.  I am Lachlan Bishop and I live in Vancouver with my Dad and Brothers Luke, Finn and Max.  Our house was right next to Stanley Park.  We were in the middle of a blizzard and I had decided to sneak out of the house.  
Suddenly I heard a roar,  then a loud bang and finally a whimpering sound.  I took a couple of steps forward to see a black spotted Jaguar lying on the ground.  In the distance I could see a man running away.  He looked rather tall to be human and had a little hunchback, but I had bigger problems to deal with.  The Jaguar had a bleeding leg and was starting to get woozy.  I picked it up.  He was super heavy. As I started to run through the snow, I wrapped the creature in my arms.


 When I arrived back at the house I sprinted into my room and lay it on my lab table.  The other boys were in Luke and Max’s room when they heard me. They busted through the door and stared at the animal in shock.  First I wrapped a bandage around it’s leg.  Then  I wrapped a blanket around it and got a bowl of water.  “One of you go get some meat from downstairs!” I yelled.   Max went to go get the meat.


 Suddenly, the Jaguar opened its yellow eyes and started to lap up the water.  It stood up and jumped off the table. Then, surprisingly, it walked over to me and started to make a purring sound.  At the same time, it brushed against me.  “It likes me” I said.  Max came back up with the meat it was scraped into a bowl.  The Jaguar ran over to Max and waited for him to put the bowl down.  Once he had put it down, the Jaguar started to devour it.  “Let’s call him Tom” Finn suggested.  We all nodded.  Here is a photo of him.  




Chapter 2: What Almost Killed Him?


“Who tried to kill him?” Luke asked.  “I don’t know” I responded.  “He has the dumb, He cannot brain today” Max said.  “He looked a little tall to be Human and had a big hunchback” I said.  Then I snapped my fingers.  “Guys, if we hurry, we can follow the footprints” I yelled.  “Hurry everyone, put on your gear.  We’re going for a snow trip”.


Once everyone had their gear on, we left through the snow.  “Here are the footprints” I shouted.  They were ginormous.  They were like size 1000.  “Let’s follow them” Luke said.  We walked through the snow, Following the Footprints till we came to a little house.  Inside we could lots of snarling and things breaking and crashing.  “This Crack-Sniffer must be some beast” Finn said.  “We’ll come back when the snow has cleared” Max said. “And when that Boo-Boo Butt has calmed down”.


 As I turned around I saw two red eyes peeking from behind the curtains.  Above his right eye was a scar.  “Guys, look behind you, there’s someone peeking from behind the curtains ” I yelled as fast my mouth could form words.  They looked behind me and Luke said “How much cheese have you been eating lately?”.  I frowned at him.  Then they started to walk back to the house.  I secretly agreed with them.  I must of been Imagining.
Chapter 3: Stranger And
Stranger  


“Well, that was crazy” Finn said as we arrived back at the house.  “ Also, Lachlan, you need glasses”.  I didn’t bother arguing.  Tom came and licked my hand.  Suddenly , I heard my dad coming upstairs.  His name is Donald.  He is very smart and thinks he is the most handsome man in the world (IS NOT).  “Hurry, hide Tom” Max yelled.


 But it was too late.  “Who’s To-AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!” he screamed.  “We are all gonna die!!!!!!  I’ve eaten my last meal and looked at my stunningly handsome reflection in the mirror the last time!!!!!”(he can be a little very emotional).  “Dad, calm down” Luke said.  “We saved his life”.  “Oh” he said, looking embarrassed.  “Well, I came up to say that tea is ready.  We’re having Macaroni and Cheese”.  “YAY” I yelled.  As quick as Quicksilver, I ran down the stairs to have my favourite tea ever.  


  The next morning the snow had cleared up a little, so went to investigate the house that the footprints had lead too.  We took Tom with us, just in case.  KNOCK KNOCK.  Nothing happened.  Suddenly we heard someone coming to the door.  When the door of the tiny cottage opened, we saw a man about 5’7 and with a friendly smile.  He also had a plaster above his eye and was wearing gloves (not surprising, considering it was winter).


 “Hello” he said with a goofy smile.  “You must be the people to pick up the couch”.  “Yes, we are” I lied.  “‘Ome in.” he mumbled.  As we were trying to lift up the couch, he said” Would ya care for a cuppa?”.  “No thanks.  We’re on the move” Luke said.  “BYE!” he yelled.  As I turned around for a second I saw his eyes turn red as he ripped off his plaster.  As quick as lightning I grabbed my phone and started to record it as he turned into a wolf.  Actually, a Werewolf.  He must of been the one who shot Tom in the leg.  Speaking of Tom, he I could see he was growling at the werewolf.  Then the Werewolf noticed Tom was growling.  He quickly changed back into the goofy man.  Now with video proof, the would believe me.
“Check this out” I said.  We had arrived back home and placed the couch in the middle of the bathroom.  Then we had ran upstairs to me and Finn’s room.  I was currently showing them the video on my phone.  “So you haven’t been eating too much cheese lately” Luke said.  “No, I haven’t” I said through gritted teeth.  “If we want to defeat it we will have to gather weapons.” Max said.  “And I know where to get them”.


Chapter 4: Weapons and Fighting


“Shh” Max said.  We were sneaking into Donald’s room to sneak some weapons.  “Let’s take daggers, some energy blasters, pistols… “Good idea” Donald said with a frown.  “Thanks Dad. DAD!!” Luke murmured.  “Why do you guys need all these anyway?” He asked, full of curiosity.  “Well, we are going to kill a werewolf”.  “HAHAHAHA” he laughed.  “That is hilarious”. he said.  I showed him the video on my phone.  “That is real” he said after watching it.  “All right, come with me” he said.


 He then lead us to a secret room behind his closet.  “This is my weapons vault” he said with proudness.  “Each of you can have a backpack that is voice activated.  When you say a weapon it appears in your hand”.  “Sweet!” I said.  “Bow and arrow” Luke said.  Suddenly a bow appeared in his hands and a pack of arrows were on his back.  “Awesome!” he yelled.


30 minutes later we were all outside the werewolf’s house.  Donald and Finn were covering the the front.  Me and Luke were on the sides and Max on the back.  Suddenly the wall bust open on my side and out came the werewolf.  I shot my energy blaster at him but it did nothing to him.  He roared, then leaped at me.  I dodged him, but he wasn’t out.  Suddenly an explosive arrow landed near me.  Quickly I jumped out of the way, but I still got some of the force.  I was still woozy from the explosion, so the Werewolf took his chance.  He leaped over to me and slammed his fist into my head.  The last thing I saw was the Werewolf’s red eyes.  Then everything went black.


Chapter 5: A Suit Made Of Metal


I woke up in the snow.  My head hurt.  I peeked up and saw Luke, Finn, Max and Donald fighting the werewolf.  My backpack looked pretty shaken up.  I grabbed it and put on my back.  “Teleporter” I said weakly.  All of a sudden, the teleporter was in my hand.  Also, my backpack fell apart and broke.  I set the settings on the teleporter and pressed the button.  Suddenly I was gone.


Meanwhile, the fight was getting tough.  The only thing that was keeping the 3 boys and their father alive was their agility.  “Thermo Blaster” Donald yelled, while dodging another blow.  A thermo blaster appeared on his wrist.  But he was too slow.  The werewolf punched him on the jaw.  This sent him to the ground, unconscious .  Max jumped on the werewolf, but the werewolf grabbed his arm and slammed him on the ground.  He, too, was unconscious.  Luke was pummelled by the werewolf onto the ground.  He was also uncon… well, you get the idea.  The werewolf grabbed onto Finn’s shirt and slammed him into the house.  He then brought out his claws, preparing to stab them into Finn’s chest.  “I’m going to enjoy this” he said with a growl.


Just then something smashed into him.  A man in a metal suit (A.K.A. ME!).  The werewolf skidded through the snow before coming to a stop in the snow.  Finn got a thermo blaster out.  “Who are you?” He asked with caution.  I lifted up the mask of my suit.  “It’s me” I said with a grin.  “ROOOAAARRR!!!!!!”.  The werewolf was charging towards me.  I stepped sideways and CRASH!  The werewolf smashed into the house.  “Where did you find that suit?” He asked.  “In the weapons room behind some old photos”.  The werewolf suddenly burst out of the building.  His eyes were BULGING Red.  He charged towards Finn in fury.  Finn quickly avoided him.  But this time the werewolf stopped.  He spun around and started to charge at him again.  I flew to the house and when he got into my path, I shot with my repulsors (energy bursts) at him.  This blast knocked him off course and onto the snow.  As he started to get back up, I started to shoot him with my repulsor rays.  Then Finn joined me by shooting his thermo blaster.  This managed to keep him on the ground for a few seconds, but it wasn’t enough.  Suddenly 3 other thermo blasters joined in.  Max, Luke and Donald were back up.  The werewolf started to crack, with blue light coming out of him.  “NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!” He yelled.  All of a sudden, he was gone.


“What happened?” I asked.  “He must of been taking on too much energy at once.  It was so much, that his body could not absorb it and he disappeared” Donald said.  “Wow” Max said.  Later, back at the house, we put our weapons back in the weapons room (even though I begged Donald for me to keep my metal suit).  “Hopefully nothing else comes to town” I said.  Everyone nodded.  Unknown to us something very sinister was lurking…
