Week #36 100WC - Sascha

Cold, lost, scared, hungry, alone. Nothing to disturb her she was surrounded by the screaming wind and thrashing rain.  The freezing cold air was seeping through her worn clothes. Darkness fell, it was pitch black, She found some shelter underneath a nearby bridge, the stop and go lights by her were the only lights, giving her enough light to see where she was. She reached into her pocket to grab the food she’d stolen earlier, that's how she got there. She heard footsteps, and a light was coming her way.   “That's when I knew I should run,” she told me later.

Week #36 100WC - William

A molotov was thrown over the barrier heading towards us. That's when I knew I should run. I ran as fast as I could. It blew up and it blew up with 3 of my mates  as they looked like  ragdolls flying through the sky with fire engulfing them. I knew they were dead I looked away in terror as they dropped to the sandy ground. I filled with rage, tears filled my eyes slowly as I listened to my sergeant as he gave me orders I had to follow and if I didn't follow them I would lose my own life. 

Week #37 100WC - Laughlin

 I was lost in an ancient temple with Viola, we were trying to find a way out . It was becoming dark. We walked for hours and we needed some rest. I searched for somewhere to sleep, I saw a door with vines all around it. I clenched the handles and pulled it open, inside was full of gold and old coins. I wasn't that surprised but I didn't think we would make it out alive so I didn't tell viola. I headed back and told her I didn't find anywhere to sleep so we had to sleep on the  ground

Week #37 100WC - Te Aroha

We lost our daughter Viola. She went for a walk in the woods. She is ancient to me like a block of gold. We have been searching for her all night and day. The night vision goggles are gone missing as well as her clothes and we are scared that we won't find her. When we came back home to see if she might have come back, we found a note. 

“Return the money 

if you want to see 

Viola alive again”

The note was from a guy named Geoff Harris. But we dont know what money he's talking about.

Week #37 100WC - Shilah

One dark cold night Viola was lost in the ancient woods. She was all by herself, well that's what she thought. You can never be certain when you're in the woods, especially the ancient woods. There can be all kinds of creatures or even people, but who knows? She decided  to search around to find her way home, but she just got even more lost. 

“What do I do? How do I get home?” she screamed in frustration. She tripped, but she didn't trip over a rock or a stick but she tripped over gold that was deep underground. She decided to look deeper in. The next minute she came tumbling down. bang.

Week #37 100WC - Oliver

I had started to walk slowly into the gold mine I was looking for an ancient treasure. I jumped into a mine cart and went down the trail. It finally came to a halt. I hopped out… I searched for the treasure. Faintly I heard the distant sound of a viola and I started to follow the sound. But I was lost… I kept looking frantically for the way out. I couldn’t find the way I came in. Suddenly the thought came into my mind that I might never get out. I think I might die here in the mine alone starving...

Week #37 100WC - Mason

“How long do we have to go? We have searched for ages,” Tom said as I was cutting down the jungle leaves in front of us.

“Doesn’t matter how long it takes, it's the Gold Viola of Exegol.”

When I glanced at my map I realized it was right behind the trees, I think Tom realized my surprise because we both started looking at an opening of the trees. We couldn’t believe we had found the lost viola, the ancient instrument, the powerful viola of music. Right in front of us, for ours to keep and for ours to hold.

Week #37 100WC - Lydia

“I didn't mean to!”  Viola spoke. “You went and stole gold, you think that was a mistake, wow good job,” the office lady said sarcastically. They took innocent Viola to the police station in handcuffs. They finally arrived at the station after an hour and a half drive. They threw Viola into the ancient prison cell and Viola searched the room just in case there was anything suspicious. 

The police officers finally found the truth about the lost gold.  Viola was innocent and didn’t steal the gold.  They found out that it wasn't her. But who was the mysterious person...?

Week #37 100WC - Luke

There is this explorer. She goes into the jungle to find the lost treasure made out of the best gold you will ever see and her name is Viola. For years and years she searched to find this treasure. She had to go through snakes, spiders and even crocodiles and finally she found it - the lost Ancient Pyramid. The pyramid was made out of gold not something made of gold in a chest.

It took her 5 years to find this treasure but sadly she died one month after finding the pyramid.  She will be remembered.

Week #37 100WC - Joel

$1,000,000 is a lot of money! That's roughly two gold bricks and guess who all that money? The one, the only VIOLA!

*Before she found the money*

*PANT* *PANT* After witnessing a cleanup for a murder, she ran back home and slept on the thought of someone in Ashtenburn killing a innocent man. When she woke up she told her parents what happened. They were dumbfounded. They went straight to the police but the police didn’t believe her.  She didn’t know why until she looked at the face of the man at the front desk and she realised that she was staring directly at the killer.

Week #37 100WC - Denni

Tonight I am allowed to go outside until I am tired. This is such a change, but it is my 13th birthday. Mum had hidden some gold pieces for me to find in the garden. I hope I find them.

“Viola, are you almost ready for bed?” yelled Mum. 

“Coming in now.” 

I headed in and once I got inside my mum said that I had the most ancient family in the whole world but actually she just says that to make me happy. She does that every year and it makes me happy to hear her be happy. She’s amazing.

Week #37 100WC - Caspar

Antonio and Francisco are brothers that have searched for the lost temple of Kozuzo for years. They have traveled through the thick, lush, Peruvian jungle, yet to their disappointment they still haven't found the temple of Kozuzo. One day the two brothers came across a small stone pillar lined in gold, they had found the temple! Ancient pillars five metres high, balconies lined in gold!  They saw a golden viola surrounded by gold, goblets and gems, they grabbed it, the ground rumbled, they'd set off a trap!  They ran out of the temple as it crumbled behind them! They had escaped.

Week #37 100WC - Camryn

I look up from my book realsing my mum has stopped practising on her viola. 

“Come here Camryn,” she calls loudly. “I found a picture of your great great grandmother .” She shows me a very old picture.

“She looks ancient,” I say. 

The picture has dust and all kinds of germs on it, it is so dusty that you can’t even see the gold rim on the canvas. In the very old photo of my great great grandmother I notice she is looking around. 

“She looks very lost,”  I say to Mum. “I think she is searching for someone.”

Week #37 100WC - Grace

Sweat drips off my hands as I walk on the gold stage, my viola up by my chin. The rest I can't remember, my mind only comes back when I hear the sound of multiple people clapping. It is the best night, until I lose it. Tears form in my eyes as I can hear the voice of my father at my 8th birthday saying you’re ancient! That just makes me even sadder.  My dad was the person who introduced me to the viola. It upset me so much that he would never be able to hear me play it again.

Week #37 100WC - Mikayla

Today I went to a forest, I went there because people always find something there. Once a man tripped over a gold viola and took it home. I lost my keys one day in this forest and searched everywhere but I couldn't find them, so I had to make another key with my spare key I have, just in case I lose them again. When I was walking in the forest today there was something lining a tree. I picked it up and took it home, it was an ancient vase, so we decided to take it to a museum.

Week #37 100WC - Olivia

The viola played in the living  room, distant and quiet. Mama had warned me against venturing in Popa’s house. It was haunted, she had said. But it was fine, I had done it many times. A glint of gold pulled me from my thoughts. It looked ancient. I searched for a clue as to what it might be.  Maybe it was lost. An Aztec treasure? Or a doubloon? I searched around, but had to dash quickly back into my room, the gold stuffed up my jacket sleeve. Bags packed we walked out the door. The mystery had only just begun.

Week #37 100WC - Ruby

As I searched through the attic, I discovered many ancient objects. Grandpa said I could take anything I wanted. ”It was junk.” But I disagreed. There were lost books buried in dust, and an old oak rocking horse. I even found an old viola, with a few broken strings, but it could still be put to good use. I’ve always wanted to play an instrument. Then, I spotted it. Glimmering in the small spot of sunlight, was something shiny. I was mesmerized. I sauntered over to it, excitement bubbling inside me. I reached out to touch it. It was gold. 

Week #37 100WC - Sascha

One gloomy night, Viola went looking for an escape; an escape from her parents, bad news, just everything! She had her night vision goggles on, she could see everything as plain as day, but everything was in shades of green and black. She searched for anything new, she had a golden eye, she was looking for something different. The ancient trees surrounded her. She felt lost in the moment. The glorious trees, the sound of the wind and the fresh air around her, nothing to disturb this moment. Or so she thought. She didn't know what she was getting herself into.

Week #37 100WC - William

We searched far and wide over uncharted seas for the lost, ancient chest. The locals on Hookway Island call it the Reapers Chest which is in the western sea. Never has pirates like us tried their luck to search and obtain such a beauty of a chest. They say that if you search for an island called The Reapers Hideout in the Northern Sea, then you will meet a gold hoarder, who is known for his viola playing.  He will buy the chest and they say his offer of gold will be more than you’ll ever need.

Week #36 100WC - Grace

Pulling into the worn out gravel car park, the bright bunch of flowers Clenched in my hand, I started walking to my mother’s grave. The graveyard was empty , so I felt safer in a way. Placing the flowers down out of the corner of my eye I caught sight of a man?  A man I've never seen before. His head was upside down wearing a tuxedo, he was just standing there still as a Statue. That’s when I knew I should run, but I didn't. My body was frozen in fear. I blacked out, waking up in my bed. Was that a dream?

Week #37 100WC - Taine

Gold bars stacked to the roof, Viola was in a secret room she found in an abandoned mansion. Between the gold bars was a treasure map. She was on her own, she was all by herself for the day because her friends were cheerleading. She searched long and far. The map said she would be looking for a lost ancient temple. She crossed a hill and she saw what she had been looking for. She knew this was the one because it had a beautiful reef surrounding the base. It was impossible to get to but it was beautiful to see.
