Well... I was writing this story in class today and it was meant to be a practice for an assessment. Rewriting a story as one of the characters in the story and my teacher was reading us Possum Magic. I'm in High School gosh this story was read to me in Grade 1.

The Snakes Story (Possum Magic)

Rustle, Rustle, Rustle. I am the stealthiest creature of the bush. I was slithering alone in the sand when I heard the possum, who called herself Grandma Poss, doing her magic. I need to get out of here or she'll do something to me, I thought. I had always wanted to eat fresh possum though. For the rest of the week I would hear the young possum, Hush, and I grew familiar to her scent. One day I could smell Hush nearby and decided that I was hungry enough to eat a possum. I used her scent to track her and finally I found a rustling branch, but I could sense that Hush was on that branch.

'Come down little possum,' I hissed. I could sense Hush's fear, but the strange thing was that I couldn't see her.

'No,' I heard Hush's voice,' I won't come down. Thank Grandma Poss for making me invisible.'

I hissed in anger. Curse that Grandma Poss, I thought. I slithered off in anger.

Later that day I went back to my clan chief to consult about what happened.

'WHAT! That old Poss is preventing us from hunting with magic!' My chief exclaimed.

'We hunt to survive,' an elderly snake yelled.

'It is nature,' another snake called. There were angry calls from all over the cave that we were meeting in. My chief made a snake like roar. Everyone fell silent.

'Someone needs to go and talk to Poss,' he says. I volunteered to go. My chief said yes.

It was a long journey to the tree that Poss and Hush lived in but I still went. Unfortunately, when I got there Poss and Hush had left. I roared in anger. I was roaring for what seemed like hours. When I had finished roaring I went back to my chief with a rage you could not begin to understand. My chief shared my rage. But this isn't over yet Hus, I'll get you one day, I thought. In this new blood rage I had not expected to find myself in front of Hush herself. But that is a different story. One you might not want to hear. You won't like it. Honestly. Trust me.

Well I hope you liked it it was meant to be 400 words I got 373. Not far off. Plz review.
