 * The Lost Tomb**

Chapter One Discovery One day I was walking in the forest with my friends Alec and Alex and my dad. Dad Rocks! He always lets us keep what ever we find. Then dad stopped and told us to be back before dark. Now it was 9:00 pm and Alec was 13 and Alex was 11 and I was 12. Then dad said this should be far enough. I will see you soon. Alex, Alec and I started looking and then Alec found a star stone. We already had a lot of them and if we put all of ours together we would have 100 star stones.

Chapter Two We Find Something Amazing Then he found a couple more star stones. Alex said lets go have lunch. It was 12:00. It took us about 50 minutes to get home. When we got back mom and dad were in the basement cleaning. We went down there. Dad said that we could do the rest and they went upstairs and left. We found some stuff and then we put it away and then dad said its time for lunch. We went upstairs and had lunch. Alec had mac and cheese. Alex had a hot dog and I had peanut butter and jelly. Then dad turned on the TV and put on some basketball. We liked basketball too. When we were all done we watched the basketball games. It ended at 2 pm. We went outside and played basketball. Alec had the basketball first but he missed. Alex said shouldn’t we be looking. We told dad we were going to look again. Dad said OK and we went back and we didn’t find anything. Then I looked around a tree and saw that there was something not right. I said Alec! Alex! Come here. Then they came. I said Alec you know a lot about trees, right? Yes, he said. Is there something wrong with this tree. Come here look. So Alec came and looked. Alec said Yes. What do you think it is? Its something on the bark. Look don’t you see? I looked closer and he was right. There in the bark you could see there was something carved in to the bark. It was kind of a doorknob Alec said. Let me touch it. I will see what it does and when he touched it steam came out and then something really freaky happened in the tree. A little door opened up out of nowhere in the tree.

Chapter Three The Burial Chamber We were amazed that what just happened there in the tree was a tunnel. Not only was it a tunnel it was a dark tunnel. But when I said dark, I meant pitch dark. It was so dark that if the tree was black you wouldn’t be able to see it. Alec said, Ethan go get a flashlight, so I did and was back in about 5 minutes. Alec tapped the inside of the tunnel. It was wood. When I came back with the flashlight we went into the tunnel. I was first because I had the flashlight. We were halfway when the flashlight went out. We all screamed our lungs off. Then I said look there’s a light. So we kept crawling. When we reached the light we got out and found ourselves in the desert. We were all kind of scared when Alec said OK, let’s start walking. We all looked startled when he said that. But we did it anyway. It felt like 100 degrees. Than we came to a patch of rocks and were shiny. We walked around and looked, they were better than star stones, Alec said. I think I will have one myself. He reached down and picked it up. When he did a little square like slide appeared and Alec fell down first because he was on it and he screamed. His scream echoed down the slide. Tehn Alex went down it. He said all right! And then I went down it. It was kind of cool actually. We came out and Alec and Alex were looking at a burial chamber.

Chapter Four The Pharaoh’s Tomb Alec said OK guy’s lets go. We went inside. It was awesome. There was gold and gems everywhere. So we went and just like we said lots of gems and gold. Then we found a lot of huge diamonds about 10 feet tall. We kept looking. This wasn’t scary, at least not yet. We were looking at gems when we heard a noise, not just any noise but a moan. Alec said that sounded just like a mummy!! Not 1, not 2, not 3 but 12 mummies were talking. We screamed. We were scared out of our skins. They were circling us and they were coming closer but we were really ready, at least we thought we were. Alex accidently knocked a gem and it fell over and chased us right to the mummies. We were ready at least we hoped. We kicked! We punched! And got away and went through a door and when we came no one was in front of us.

Chapter Five We Try We went down and looked. We all didn’t want to touch it so we tried. We tried but the tomb wouldn’t open. Then Alec found a hammer and tried breaking it open. He wanted to happen but when it broke open we ran through the door and out to the rock patch. I took a pebble and picked it up. We all went down the slide, through the desert, though the tunnel, through the woods, went inside the house and never went into the woods again. THE END
