Adventure of The Homeschoolers

One day six kids (also detectives) were walking in the woods three girls, Sea 12,Rose 14, and Fire 11,and three boys Ferno 9, Hunter 9, and Ocean 13. And as they were walking, they came upon a stream and it was a perfect spot to hang out, "Hey, how about we make a big club house. See the logs are almost in a circle, so those can be the benches" said Ferno "YEAH!" they said in unison, so then they got to work. Once they were finished making the clubhouse they went home so they can go play at the clubhouse first thing in the morning. The next day when they biked to the clubhouse, there was a letter on the door, the letter said 'Hello kids, I moved to the town Carmelo to teach art, and there has been strange things going on around here, come as soon as possible. Signed Your Art Teacher, Edward Cobblestone' " I wonder whats going on in Carmelo" asked Sea, "Well whatever it is, it sounds urgent" said Hunter. They jumped back on their bikes and biked for home to get things they might need for this adventure. All the schools in Carmelo were all closed, but it was the middle of the school year, everything was gloomy and dreary looking, even the babies in Carmelo had a pout on their face " Wow, its really gloomy here" said Fire, and there was only one hotel there, "We should try in there, where else would he be" added Fire, so they walked in the hotel and were greeted by a coworker the man asked "May I help you?" "Yes we are looking for Edward Cobblestone, is he here?" asked Ocean "Yes he is in room 863 on the second floor, and go to the right "Thank You" they said in unison so they took the elevator, as they piled in Sea and Ocean bumped into each other "Oops, sorry Ocean" apologized Sea, "its OK" answered Ocean, blushing Sea turned away, and started talking to Ferno (her brother) about the town, then the elevator stopped abruptly and the elevator light turned of and it was pitch black, then someone said "Wait! I have my flashlight in my book bag,where is it, where aha here we go!" then Hunter turned on his flashlight and aimed it at the elevator buttons "Here's the emergency button!" Ferno tried the button twice but nothing happened then suddenly Fire bumped into Hunter and the flashlight flew out of his hands and hit the floor with a THUMP! and it was pitch black again and Fire felt the floor for the flashlight, once she got a hold of it she hit it against her hand and the light got into her eyes but she had good grip on it, and as the light pointed to the ceiling of the elevator Ocean had an idea as Fire aimed the light down "We have a way out! Fire point the flashlight up to the ceiling again" Fire pointed the light at the ceiling "See" said Ocean "There's a crack there in the hoistway so we just need someone to open it" then every one looked at Rose "No way! Not me!" then Sea said "Come on your our only hope and you need to get out of here to" "Fine" answered Rose. As she put one foot on the railing, and then the other and as she reached the hoistway she gave it a push and it opened "Yes!" exclaimed Fire "But wait" said Ferno " WE still can't reach it, only Rose can". There was silence for a minute then suddenly "I have rope! Rose can climb up and tie it to something and Hunter can make knots so it will be easier to climb" shouted Ocean, so Ocean passed the rope up to Rose and she tied it to something. And so they climbed out of the elevator and did the same thing to the walls to get out of the shaft. "Did he say Room 863 or 836?" asked Rose "I think he said 863" answered Hunter, so they walked to Room 863, and once they got there Sea knocked on the door... no one came, and she tried again but this time the door opened, so they walked in."Edward Cobblestone are you here?" said Fire,but no one replied they checked the living room, dining area, bathroom, kitchen, bedroom and the closets until they went to his office and there was a note and it said 'Hello sorry I couldn't be here I was going out for a walk but for now on I will leave you kids notes wherever I can.' "Hey Fred did you leave the door open?" *GASP* "No I didn't Ben, should we go inside?" "yes because a murderer might be in there" then Sea said "In the other note he said that he would meet us here" "We'll talk about this later everybody HIDE!" whispered Ferno Rose hid behind the desk, Ocean ran under the bed, Sea went to the closet, Ferno jumped behind the couch and Hunter went under the table. "Lock the door Fred so the intruder doesn't escape" in the kids minds they were thinking SHOOT! WE'LL NEVER GET OUT OF HERE NOW so the workers checked every room and then they checked in the closet "HEY!" shouted Fred "RUN!" said Sea all the kids bolted from their hiding spots into the living room then Ben and Fred Blocked them from escaping "Your stuck here, we are going to call the police" said Ben, then Fred opened his phone to Dial 911, then Fire turned around and she mouthed to her friends 'JUMP' since it was a glass window and Rose mouthed 'ARE YOU CRAZY?' Fire shook her head, she put her hand in Rose's hand and the rest did the same thing and Ocean counted "1, 2, 3 JUMP!" they ran as fast as they could and jumped through the glass, shattering it, and landed safely on a canopy above a fruit stand. And they read the rest of the note 'I will leave you kids notes whenever I can. You will be able to find your special technique in the library under Fiction. Signed Edward Cobblestone' "What does he mean about 'special technique'?" asked Hunter "I don't know but we will when we go to the library, but for now lets find a place to sleep, how about the school. We could break in and sleep in there" said Ocean " OK" answered Sea "Fine by me" said Fire "Sure" said Hunter, Ferno and Rose in unison. The End (Wait for the Sequel)
