Hey Guys!
Wow, it's been a while since my other post! I'm starting to have to post on too many blogs, and I keep forgetting the others. XP That's not a good sign, is it?!
Anyway, I thought I had better give you all an excerpt from my book, Team Tech! Because I'm planning to hopefully to get this book published I shan't post up too much of it, just a little for your entertainment. ;)
So here's a bit from Chapter Four!
"Talk about spooky.”
MO, Andy, Lucy and Zane stood out the front of
Manchester Manor's gate, staring into the once beautiful, now wild
looking garden. It seemed like a huge jungle, with vines, trees, bushes
and flowers everywhere. And making the scene seem even more daunting,
was the dark, run down shape of Manchester Manor.
“Ladies
first?” Zane nervously held the gate open. Lucy rolled her eyes,
muttered something that sounded like “scaredy cat” and marched through.
MO hurried through after her. Andy and Zane shrugged, and followed the
girls.
They struggled through the garden, tripping over bushes and
snagging their clothes on thorns. Lucy tripped over for the fifth time.
“This is taking for ever.” she complained, as she stood up. “And I
swear that I saw a snake just then.” She began dusting herself off, and
pulled a thorn out of her jeans.
Andy looked around warily. “We should hurry up a little. Does anyone have their pockets knifes? I've got mine.”
MO, Zane and Lucy all pulled out theirs, and the four kids began
hacking their way through the garden, occasionally stomping on the
ground to scare away any type of snake, and making comments about how
badly kept the place was (Andy attempted a few jokes too).
In ten
minutes they found themselves standing on the veranda. MO began flicking
switches on her ghost detector, and Lucy pulled out her torches.
“Have you got spare batteries?” asked Zane, taking his one.
“You planning on staying here a long time?” asked Lucy, tossing Andy
and MO their torches. “Of course I do. Here you go.” She chucked some
spare batteries at Zane, who caught them and stuffed them in his pocket.
They all looked at each other.
“The suspense is killing me.” joked Andy. “There'll be more than one
ghost soon!” MO gave him an odd look. “Just kidding.” he hastily
muttered, and opened the door.
The door creaked on it's hinges, and
chips of wood fell off. A slightly stale smell came to them. From
somewhere inside a door slammed shut. MO, Andy and Zane looked at Lucy,
Taking a deep breath, she stepped inside.
So, do you like it? :D I hope you do! ;D
I had better go, I've got some more stuff to do. :) Catch you all later!
