The Kelpie
There’s a loch in the coldest country in the world and it was a day like no other there was no storm cloud in sight. Even weirder it’s was so hot that the loch’s water is drying out. There was a smell in the air it smelt like an animal. I can almost see the massive skerries near the shores. I feel weird I need to sit down. Thud!
When I sat up I saw a scaly horse it had mixture of colours green, black, grey and white. I wondered how it got there? It’s hair was as long as a elephants trunk and a tail that looked like the fin of a seal. It’s eyes were as black as the night sky. The mane was so tangled up it looked like my sisters hair when she wakes up. It’s teeth were as sharp as a blade.
I stood up and looked it in the eye. It stared back at me. I tried to touch it but it didn’t let me. I stepped backwards and tripped over a rock. I was terrified I tried to jump on it’s back and I did. It started to go crazy but somehow I didn’t fall off so I tried to calm it down but my hand couldn’t get back off it. I was shouting in horror! I’m trying as hard as I can but the more I try the more I get stuck and all of a sudden my whole body is stuck to it!
It started running towards the water faster and faster we hit the massive skerries. I scraped my arm off a skerrie it was bleeding like crazy. Then the horse and I went underwater, no one heard my screams. I was going to die but I heard a splash a big one it was another horse was in the water.
The next thing I know I’m on the land with a horse right in my face.
I was so confused It looked like a horse a weird horse there’s been rumours of a horse that lives in the water what was it that they called it. It’s a Kelpie! And there was a whole herd of them! Oh no I’m in trouble. I ran to my house it followed me I tried to feed it and it ate so I took care of them. I went to sleep and the next day it was MISSING!
