The Magical mansion

Magical Mansion

By Liam Garrick

Prologue

In Sandness there is a creepy old building where no one has ever been. People never seemed to approach the old white house.

Even though there’s a fabulous front porch. Even though there’s a spiral staircase going up to the tenth floor. Even though at summer you can sometimes hear waves crashing and bashing from the front door. Even though there’s a diamond coated chandelier with rubies on the top and emerald pendalogues coming from the bottom. Even though you can still see the butler peeking out the 29 bedroom window on the 29th of February. Even though you can see the Christmas lights on the 25th December.

But no one ever dared to enter because the entrance was airtight shut with a timber board. The windows were fastened together with big chunks of plywood. Legend has it that it is haunted. Not a single soul dared to enter the unknown up until Jack.

The Unknown

Chapter 1

Jack has always been an adventurer and he’s always wanted to explore this magical mansion. However his parents didn’t approve but that didn’t stop Jack, he was so determined that he started packing his camping gear and as he left the house he noticed the calendar said the Saturday 29th February. He begged his friends but only Emma was brave enough to come. Off they went, it wasn’t a long stroll when they arrived they could hear bashing chains, the crashing of waves and the footsteps of the butler. They whispered to each other “here we go!” As they levered the door open.

Everywhere they stepped the old floor boards creaked, the walls looks like mouldy cheese and the spiral staircase was coated with diamonds and all the gems that you can imagine. There was gold plated plaques on the walls saying kitchen 1, living room 1 the next sign said the room of wonders they were so intrigued by this mysterious room they decided to step in. What took hold of their eyes the most was a book called endless surprises they opened the book, there jaws dropped to the floor. What was in it was the unknown suddenly someone was coming, they quickly closed the book and turned around saw the cyan eyes of the butler, he whispered, “you found the kings book of endless surprises I see,” shaking his head.

Snowy Tundra

Chapter 2

“My name is Mr Deere,” he said, gazing at Emma and Jack until they both took a step back. “I am the butler the servant of the king and this is his endless book of surprises, “he said. “You are more than welcome to look around the mansion but do NOT touch the book, “he exclaimed.

A second later the butler disappeared with a swirl of his jet black suit, Emma and Jack wondered around but there was something about the book that was pulling them in towards it. For the next five minutes they were walking around the incredible room but they were constantly looking at the endless books of surprises.

Before he knew it Jack was flicking over the pages he came across jungles, mountains, tundra’s, oceans, towns, cities, villages and more. There was at least 1000 pages in this fabulously fat book. He was standing there for a solid 7 minutes just continuously flicking through the pages.

Then he came to an empty page he picked up the feather and quill and started to write in a whole paragraph about a mountain range with golden treasures and a cottage on the highest top of Mount Jack, he closed the book and looked down the corridor.

He saw that there was one freshly painted door, Jack and Emma both sprinted down past all of the crusty dusty doors as fast as their legs could carry them suddenly the corridor came to an end and there it was a beautiful freshly painted door they stepped with their fingers crossed through.

Suddenly they fell into a snowy tundra. They stood back up and sprinted to the top of Mount Jack and stood outside this amazing wonder.
