FICTIONAL STORIES
BY 3rd YEAR BILINGUAL STUDENTS
ELAINE Elaine, a thirty-year-old woman considered herself as a non-successful woman, who wouldn’t accomplish anything good in life. She was tired of her routine, and her monotonous job at an office didn’t help at all. She only enjoyed starring at the stars in her backyard, listening to some cheesy music. But one day the sky looked weird, darker than usual, and mysterious. The stars were moving forming letters and shapes. After blinking several times, Elaine realized she wasn’t dreaming. The message said: THE WISDOM ROCK IS IN DANGER ELAINE. IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO SAVE THIS ANCESTRAL MAGICAL OBJECT. YOU’LL FIND IT IN THE SEMERU VOLCANO. At first she felt shocked, and thought somebody had drugged her. But after rethinking the message she realised she should go. She had found on the Internet that the rock was a legend and whoever held the rock would be provided with infinite intelligence. But if the rock fell into the wrong hands it could be used as an evil means of destroying the world. An
hour
later
she
had
packed her bag and was heading for the airport. She bought a plane ticket to Indonesia,
where
the
Semeru volcano is, and ten hours
later
she
landed
there. But it wasn’t until she found herself at the foothills, starring at the craggy volcano’s peak, that she came to the realization that getting to the top would be impossible. Had Elaine had the wisdom rock, she would have turned up with a good idea, but unfortunately the best idea she had consisted on jumping from a helicopter with a parachute into the volcano’s crater. And so she did. Although she had some trouble convincing the helicopter pilot, he reluctantly agreed. He had been told Elaine was writing a geology book, and therefore she had to go deep into the volcano.
The
flight
went
through
serious
turbulence and the wind blew fiercely. Elaine
had
no
experience
with
parachute jumping but after some formidable manoeuvres she managed to land in the crater. The air felt hot and there was a dense fog covering everything. Nevertheless, Elaine was able to distinguish two human shapes, holding a brown little rock in their left hands. The anger Elaine was feeling took control of her body and she broke into a run towards them. The two men were caught by surprise and Elaine’s fighting skills were by far better than theirs. She felt an enormous relief once she had the rock in her hand. As if the volcano was happy too, the ground started to shake and lava started spreading all around the surface. Elaine had the wisdom rock now, and thought she would come up with a brilliant idea to survive from the lava. But the rock didn’t work, and it seemed like everything was over. The same feeling of anger made her throw the rock to the nearby lava which was just a couple meters away now. It wasn’t until the rock grazed the lava when everything exploded. Elaine opened her eyes and found herself once again in her room. She was magically alive. Apparently the wise decision she had made was destroying the rock, proving this way that the wiser ones are the ones who don’t need intelligence from other sources.

REINCARNATION OF A HERO A long time ago, the whole planet Earth was saved several times by a hero, called Goku. He fought and defeated great villains, but in this story we are not going to talk about him, we are going to talk about his great-grandson, Goku Jr. This kid, as he was the descendent of a legend, had a great power, but he didn’t know about it until his grandmother Pan explained his origins to him. He didn’t believe her because he thought he was only a simple kid and he had never seen such a powerful hero as Goku was on Earth. One day, after he came from school, he saw blood inside the house. He started trembling, so he called Pan, but she didn’t answer. He felt so helpless that he started crying, but he stopped immediately, because he thought crying wouldn’t help him find his grandmother. Then, he called the police, and, when they came, he explained to them what had happened and he went outside the house. Goku Jr. was so stressed, that he went to a forest where he used to go to play. Once he was there, he climbed a tree and sat on a branch. He started thinking what had happened with his grandmother when suddenly he saw an abandoned little house which he had never seen before. He decided to enter in to see what there was there. As he entered, he felt very powerful, and out of nowhere, a person with a halo up on his head appeared: - "Who are you?" , asked Goku Jr. - I’m your great-grandfather, Goku. I don’t have much time, so I will explain
what happened
to my
granddaughter, your grandmother. She was kidnapped by a villain called Kale. She had several fights against me, which I won, nearly killing her, and now she wants revenge, but she doesn’t know that I died years ago, so she kidnapped Pan to use her as a bait, so I would come and rescue her, and she could finally kill me.
I have just given you some of my remaining power, which I cannot use because I’m dead, so you can go and finish her and rescue Pan. - "Wait, wait….ok….but where can I find her?" - "She is in a planet called Namek. I had a friend, who I hope is still alive, called Trunks. He leaves in the western part of the city, in the Capsule Corporation building. I’m sure he will take you to Namek with his space shuttle." Then he disappeared. Goku Jr. arrived at Capsule Corporation, where he luckily could find Trunks. He explained the situation to him and Trunks agreed to help him. After several days of journey, they finally arrived in Namek, but they had a problem: Namek was so big that they didn’t know where to search. Finally Trunks had an idea. He was a Saiyan (human race that had the ability to teleport to a place by feeling the Ki (power) of a person who was there). -"Give me your hand", said Trunks to Goku Jr. And they disappeared. They landed in front of a big tower, protected by soldiers. –-"Wha..wh..what have you done?", asked Goku Jr. in surprise -"We’ve teleported. It’s an ability which only our race (Saiyans) can learn." -"What do you mean by “our”?" -"You are a Saiyan too." -… Goku was surprised, but he didn’t have time to ask for answers, so they started to move closer to the tower. When they were near the entrance, two soldiers jumped in front of their faces, so Trunks started fighting them, but Goku didn’t move from his place. -"Come on Goku!!!" , said Trunks nervously.
-"I don’t know how to fight!!!", shouted Goku sadly -"It’s in your blood; start fighting and your Saiyan spirit will come out of you!" So Goku, thrilled, started running towards the soldiers and hit them with his fist. Both of the soldiers ended up hitting themselves against a wall and being unconscious. Goku was surprised at his power, so they continued going up stairs and fighting with the soldiers that continued
blocking
their
way
forward.
After
defeating them, they finally reached the top of the tower, which had a very big chamber. They went inside the chamber and found Pan tied to a chair, with Kale beside her: -"I was expecting your arrival. If you don’t make you great-grandfather come I’ll kill the three of you!! –said Kale maliciously So Goku and Trunks started to fight against her. After a long time fighting, Trunks was knocked out, and Goku was badly injured. Kale started being angry and hit Pan. -"Don’t touch my grandmother!!!!", shouted Goku Suddenly, Goku turned into a super Saiyan. He also saw his great-grandfather, doing a strange movement with his arms. -"Do it Goku" – he whispered Then Goku repeated the same movement his ancestor had made and a big burst of energy went out of his hands. Kale was defeated. Goku,
tired
and
in
pain,
untied
her
grandmother and carried Trunks to the space shuttle. Finally, Goku saved her grandmother, bringing her back home. By Lucian Carbunaru 3rd A
THE 4 GEMSTONES Emma is an ordinary girl who loves drawing. She is 16 year old and lives in London with her parents. She goes to a High School there, where she met her best friend, Lisa. The school began on September 1st and Lisa and Emma went together to see if they were in the same class. Luckily they were together. They started classes at 9:30 and finished them at 13:30, just because it was the first day. After that, Lisa accompanied Emma to her house, as she always does, and said goodbye. Suddenly, Emma heard a knock on the door, and went to open it. When she looked outside to see who could have knocked, she didn’t see anyone; but she could see that a box had been left there. She picked the box up and went back into her house. She opened the box in astonishment and let out a shriek when she saw a sprite. The magical creature was at the bottom of the box. -
“What’s your name?”, Emma asked. “I’m Brucie and I’ve come to tell you something
-
really important”, said the sprite. “Tell me, quickly! What is it?”, Emma urged. “Let’s see… It’s difficult to explain”, said
-
Brucie. “It doesn’t matter, I will listen carefully”, replied Emma. “I come from a forest, a magical forest. This forest is guarded by four different gemstones. We were peaceful creatures, until something happened. It was a sunny day, but suddenly some clouds appeared. We thought it was normal, but later we discovered that something was wrong. It turned out that two of the four gemstones had disappeared. Without these gems life in the forest is really complicated. We have contacted you because you are the only one who can see us and help us.”
-
“So… You are saying you come from a magical forest and I’m the only
-
one who can see you. Well, I’ll accept that, but what do I have to do?” “You have to find where the gems are. You have a special ability so it’ll
-
be easy for you.” “Will it take us a long time to come back home?” “It depends. But we need your help right now. Will you come?” “Mmm… OK.”
The sprite took out a magic wand and draw something in the air. It was a blue circle. Emma was looking at it quite surprised. -
“Come on! This is a magic portal, it will take us to the forest quickly”, said
-
Brucie. “Really?”, Emma asked. “Yes, don’t be afraid.” Emma and Brucie crossed the magic portal and appeared on a forest. At first Emma could just see trees, but then she could make out some little houses. They entered in one of them and found a fairy. -
-
“Hello I’m Twilight. I’m here to help you
in your adventure”, the fairy said. “Nice to meet you”, replied Emma. “Well, as you know two of the four gems have disappeared, and you have a special ability to find them. We think that Kelvin has stolen them. Kelvin has been our worst enemy for a long time but we cannot attack him without you. We have to find the gems, but he won’t tell us where
-
they are, so that’s why we need you”, Twilight explained. “Are we going to fight aginst Kelvin?”, Emma asked. “Yes, we are going to fight against him.”
Once they were ready, Emma, Brucie and Twilight, set off to find Kelvin. They had been walking for one hour when they reached the cave, where Kelvin lived.
They entered the cave silently, but Kelvin discovered them. He looked like a human, but there was something strange about him. -
“Hello, little creatures from the forest, I think you know who I am”, said
-
Kelvin. “Of course we know you, you have stolen our gems”, said Brucie. “Why would I have stolen them?”, Kelvin asked. “Because you just want to do evil things, like stealing the gems”,
-
answered Emma. “Who are you, by the way?”, Kelvin wanted to know. “It is not relevant. The only thing that is important is where the gems are”,
-
Emma said. “You have two options: either you fight me or you leave me alone if you
-
really want to stay alive”, Kelvin claimed. “I’ll fight”, said Emma.
Emma and Kelvin fought fiercely. Finally Kelvin was so tired that he fainted. Instead of killing him, they decided to throw him in jail. Emma looked for the two gems, and she found them inside a small box in the cave. She knew they had been there since they arrived at the cave, but she didn’t say anything. She picked them up and went back with Brucie and Twilight. They returned to the magic forest with Kelvin and the two gems. On their way back, Emma discovered that violence was not the way of solving problems. When they arrived at the forest, they incarcerated Kelvin and put the two gemstones back in their places. Life at the forest continued as it had been before Kelvin stole the gems. The magical creatures claimed Emma was a hero, and she was rewarded with a special pendant.
After that she asked Brucie how to return to her house. Brucie opened her another magic portal for her and told her not to say anything to anyone. She promised she wouldn’t and said goodbye.
Emma arrived home. She was so tired that went immediately to bed. When she woke up the next morning, everything seemed like a dream, but then she saw her special pendant and knew it had all been real.

ULYSSES A few days before the classes started after a long summer holiday Ulysses was on his way, as usual, to buy bread. But he didn't expect that that morning everything was about to change. He entered the bakery and greeted his friend and baker Peter. Peter was a very wise old man who had inherited the bakery of his forebears. — "Hey Peter! How did you start the morning?" — "Rather quiet, actually, you are the first client of the day" , he said while he was about to take a loaf of bread. Suddently a telephone started ringing, Peter apologized and went to the backroom to answer the call. — "What's up? Is everything all right?", Peter asked a bit worried. Ulysses could hear everything he was saying. — "What?!. This can't be happening! What has happened with the guardians of in the gateway?", He kept silent for a few seconds.— "Are all of them dead?. All of them?!" Ulysses was listening in surprise to what Peter was saying. — "Yes, I know what I have to do, it's time for telling him the truth. Don't worry, we will be there immediately.", Peter said before hanging the telephone. — "We have to go, Ulysses." — "What? Where do we have to go? What has happened?" Peter grabbed Ulysses's arm and took him to the back-room. — "There is no time for questions, I will explain everything to you when we arrive at our destination." And without saying anything else, Peter moved his arms, recited a few strange words and an enormous hole full of light opened in front of them. Ulysses couldn't get over his amazement. — "Oh my god, what is this?! Am I dreaming?"
— "No boy, you are not dreaming",Peter said, and later he pushed Ulysses into the great hole of light, seconds later the hole was closed and everything went back to be like before. When Ulysses opened his eyes all he could see was Peter and an old lady. — "Where am I? What happened? My head hurts", hHe complained, trying to stand up. — "Thank god he is alive!", the old lady said while smiling at Ulysses. — "Welcome to Efirus, Ulysses. We need your help", Peter said leading the boy towards a few strange houses of stone. — "Efirus? My help? Is this a joke, Peter?" — "We need your help, Ulysses. You are the only one who can kill the horrific creature that is destroying our portals, to be able to enter and kill us all!" — "But, why me? I am just an ordinary kid." — "You possess the divine grace of a god, boy", The old lady said— You are the chosen one. — "If you don't help us, all of this that you see will dissapear." Ulysses looked around, there were children playing, people washing their clothes in the river, houses of stone with the flushed chimneys, trees, animals... Everything was too beautiful to be destroyed. — "I will help you, what do I have to do?", Ulysses decided Peter and the old lady looked at each other and smiled. They gave to him a sword, which belonged to Peter's forebears, a hull and a shield, a map and a for orientation on the way to the cave of the fearsome beast. — "Good luck Ulysses, we trust you", Peter and the old lady said at the same time.. Some days later, he finally came to the cave of the fearsome beast.
— "Hey you, craven beast! Let me see you!" , He shouted. The shout echoed in the whole cave and a frightening roar sounded in the distance. Ulysses ran, jumping rocks and avoiding traps, up to meeting face-toface an enormous lion with three heads and dragoon wings and tail. Ulysses remained still for a moment, he was frightened, but he knew that Peter needed him. He knew that all those people trusted him and he could't let them down. He took courage and ran towards it, avoiding the blazes that were going out of his mouth and the lashes of his tail. He climbed onto the back of the terrible beast and f stabbed him not once, not twice but three, but it didn't worked. Suddently the half lion, half dragoon, threw him against a few rocks and he whipped him with his enormous tail. The sword flew out of his hand to the other side of the cave, leaving Ulysses unprotected. In that moment he knew the end was near. When the beast was about to throw a blaze against Ulysses, he closed his eyes and for a second, he could listen to the laughs of the children in Efirus, the rivers, the animals... and Peter. A supernatural force raised him from the soil, making him float, his body was illuminated and started throwing beams of light to the beast. Minutes later, it died and out of it, an iron ball went out. Later, without knowing how, Ulysses returned to Efirus. — "Hey! I am back!", He said as he saw Peter in the distance. — "Ulysses!. You did it!", You killed the beast! Peter hugged Ulysses. — I think this is for you and for Efirus— Ulysses said, and gave an iron ball to Peter. Peter raised his arms to the sky and the ball started floating, then it exploded and formed an invisible protective bubble all around Efirus. Now, they would be safe. — "It's time for you to go home, boy."
— "Will I see you again, Peter?" — "Of course! I am the one who sells you the bread!" , He said while laughing. He touched Ulysses shoulder, and magically he returned home. — "Ulysses, you will be late on your first day of school if you don't hurry up!", Ulysses mum said. He hurried up, and in less than one hour he was already in high-school. — "Good morning boys and girls! How were your summer holidays?", The maths teacher said to his students— Have you made anything interesting these holidays, Ulysses?. — "Yes teacher, kind of..."— He answered while he rememberd the whole adventure he had lived.

She was finishing her project when a glass with some substance fell down, and she started to pick up the pieces of glass. Julia cut her arm slightly with one of the pieces, but fortunately nothing happened then...

The Right Choice Not too many years ago a beautiful baby boy was born. He wasn’t a normal baby. He was born of 2 superheroes who protected the world from terrible villains. His mother was called Linda and she had a really impressive ability to cure people, and his father Peter had reactive adaptation which is the ability to adapt to any environment in seconds, for example: to breathe under the water just submerging, or to be resistant to fire. They decided to call his son Ben. Years flew by and Ben grew up very fast, but he was kind of weird and he didn’t think or act the way a future superhero was supposed to, so before he discovered his superpower Ben started to be interested in villains and hiding it away from his parents he studied them and their behaviour and he ended up being absorbed by that world without even realizing it.
At the age of 14 he discovered that he had more than one superpower. He was given a lot of mental abilities, for example, the power to make people forget their memories, or just by thinking of something he could know where that object, person or animal was; he knew when someone was lying. In addition, he could learn a new language almost immediately after having heard a short sentence. However, he wasn’t thinking of using these powers to help people. He was very ambitious and wanted to became powerful and rich despite the fact that deep inside he still was a good-hearted person. Four years later he told his parents that he didn’t want to be like them and he left home without turning back. Many weeks later, one of the most terrible villains (Electro),who had the power to control computers in an awesome way, heard about Ben and decided to persuade him to join him. This way they could rule the world and become more powerful just by joining forces, with they their powers they would be unstoppable, Electro was thinking of replacing all humans by computers and to do that so he needed Ben’s powers . Ben accepted but he wasn’t really sure about it. He thought they would just control some computer companies in order to make money and eventually he finally accepted with the condition that no one would be hurt. At the end he was brought up like that and he had some values he wasn’t going to ignore.
Electro prepared his plan for months but he didn't inform Ben about anything. He knew he was lying about something so because he had that superpower and he started regretting becoming part of his team but he couldn't step back or Electro would realize it notice and then kill him.
Electro kidnaped Ben’s parents when he realized Ben was starting to doubt and he threatened him so he would do what he ordered, Ben had to choose between saving his parents' life or the rest of the world. However he had a plan. If he could find a way to turn off the electricity,

Alex’s great feat Despite her name, Alex is a girl. She is a very intelligent and outgoing person. She knows perfectly how to make you smile or even laugh although you are sad. She isn't very tall and she has ginger hair and hazel eyes. Alex wasn't as lucky as you and I, she was born in Bhamia, and at that moment, her country was in war. She had to take care of her siblings but despite the circumstances, she managed to live happily. One day, she received a letter that explained that she had to leave the country with her siblings. Some military from foreign countries were about to destroy the place where she was living. She quickly took all her family stuff and left her house. During the trip to the unknown, she found a group of people that were standing around a kind of little person that had pointy ears. She walked there and asked what was going on. - "There's an elf that says that can make wishes come true" - An old woman said. She waited until they were all gone and asked the elf. - "Hi, it's said that you can make wishes come true, can't you?" - "Yes, I actually can. But only wishes for those that are goodhearted and have good intentions."- answered the elf. - "That's awesome! I was wondering if I could talk with the one that is destroying my country, even if is just for ten minutes." - "That's not an easy wish, but I'll do my best. At the end of this forest, there's a magic door that can bring you to whenever you want to go. You must go there and depending on your actions, you'll get your wish." - "Thank you for the information, I'll do my best." She was about to continue her way when.... -"Wait!"-The elf shouted -"I've got here something that might help you. He took off his jacket and showed her a necklace that was in the pocket."
- "If you wear this, luck will be on your side." She said good bye and continued her way. Alex was walking when she heard a terrible noise. A huge rock had detached from a mountain and had hit a person. She told her siblings to stay there and started to run. It looked like an average man, and he was bleeding. She took some clothes from her luggage and used them as a bandage. After that, the man thanked her and she realized that the good action had been done, maybe that was like a kind of challenge to prove if she was worthy to cross the door. After hours of walking, she finally found the door. There was a sign that said "You must use this door only for goodness, otherwise you'll be punished" When she passed through the door she thought of the talk that she wanted to have with the person that was to blame the war, she thought it was a good reason. On the other side, she found a very well dressed man in an office. After that, she realized that she didn't have the same clothes as a few minutes before, she was well dressed too. In her chest, there was a badge that said "Sub president Alex". She tried to talk to the man and he answered her in a very friendly way. Alex managed to persuade him to stop the war. When she left the office, she was the same Alex as in the begging of her adventure, in her home with her siblings, but there wasn't a war anymore. In appreciation for her great feat, she was recognized as a hero and they wrote a book about her, that might be the one that you're reading now. By SofĂa Saura 3rd A
