The legend of the cactus ghost. The camp leader gathered us around the smoky, campfire to sing our camp song. Suddenly I heard rustling leaves. I stopped singing and looked back to find nothing. On the ground I saw a note; I picked it up and read it. In blood it said “I am coming to hunt you down!” That sent a shiver down my spine, now I was scared to go back to the cabin alone.
That night, I had trouble falling asleep a whimpering howl kept me awake. Then I saw Leon get out of bed. “PPPPPPPPSSSSSSSSTTTTTTTT! What are you doing?” I asked. He didn’t reply, he walked out of the cabin. Quickly I got out of bed and got ahead of him. I tried to push him back into the cabin but I fell over. He stepped over me walked into the dark night. I couldn’t follow him I was to scared to but I told myself I had to do it. So I kept a distance and followed him.
We ended up in the middle of nowhere. The only thing that caught my eye was a chamber with Leon in it! And there were two zombies guarding. Suddenly a whoosh of cold air appeared out of nowhere as a very large ghost came out that looked just like a cactus. I then lost my balance and fell over. The ghost heard my fall and blew a cold mist towards me. Once the mist got to me I lost control of my body and the ghosts mind was now controlling me. I was going to die, I had no chance of survival. I screamed for help but no one came. As was only 2 metres away from the ghost, a rock flung at the ghost’s brain, it was Zane! He saved me! He lost control of me and I ran back with Zane back to the cabin. Just as we got back to the cabin it was dawn.
That morning I found Leon was not in his bed he didn’t escape…I ran out of the cabin panicking to save Leon, but when I got to the place as last night there was nothing to be seen. Questions buzzed around my mind where is he? Is he alive? Was last night a dream?
Later I gathered every camp kid for a meeting about Leon. I told them what happened last night and got them to come tonight to kill the ghost and save Leon. I remembered I had borrowed a book from the library about ghost legends. I ran to the cabin and got the book and ran back to the gathered area. The book said the only way to defeat the cactus ghost is to lure it into a cactus and say the words “Koola makina” the ghost will then form into a cactus. But the only way to make it come back is to water it and say the words that make it dead and it will come back stronger than ever before. We were all set to go. We gathered rocks, spears and a jack hammer.
That night we slowly crept up to the chamber and smashed the lock. We pulled Leon out and gave him some food and water. Then suddenly the cactus ghost flew out in front of us with the zombies. The zombies lunged towards us. I quickly threw a spear through one of the zombie’s chest. Nothing happened. It came closer. In my disgust I could see its yellow skin. Suddenly his filthy hand swiped across my face. He tore off my whole layer of skin! The pain was excruciating! It felt like my whole face was burning but I kept fighting through the pain. Suddenly I fell to the ground, the pain was too strong for me. Next thing I knew, my life was flashing through my eyes, I then lay there on the ground getting weaker by the moment. Liam ran over to help me but it was too late. My eyes faded into the darkness. That was it for me. I was dead and gone.
I had sacrificed my whole life, I looked down from heaven and saw Zane, Liam and Leon’s body lay lifeless on the ground. The ghost and his zombies had taken over the world and the people were slaved. The Earth was dark. Forever!
