Write a Book in a Day 2017

Chapter 2 It was two days before Terry’s birthday and the entire student body was buzzing with excitement. Terry always only wanted one thing for his birthday: yosterberries, they only thrive in the summer and Evandale is renowned for having the tastiest around. Everyone wanted to be involved, gathering the berries for Terry, so Miss Lotus organised an excursion to a nearby orchard to pick the berries. On the day of the highly anticipated trip, all of the children were extremely eager to make Terry’s birthday wish come true, and so excited in fact that they didn’t notice one of the students had wondered off. Drew, a smaller, but brave seeker of adventure had gotten distracted and walked away from the group. After his short explore, he was upset that he was missing out on the fun and tried to catch up with the group, but on the way back to the orchard something caught his eye. A fragile, old fox with molting, grey hair following a mysterious man and an older lady. They were walking into a strange building that had duck egg blue paint peeling from its boxy concrete walls. It was small enough to be a single bedroom. Drew, filled with curiosity to why such a foreign-looking room would be there, snuck around the back and crouched himself near a window to try and listen to their hushed conversation. The woman inside had long, frizzy, dyed red hair and was wearing a flowing, deep purple dress. Her thin face and lips were turned down into a scowl, glaring into the timid eyes of the awkward, alarmingly short man standing next to her. He was barely the height of the window and Drew had to peer downwards into the room to see the top of his blonde, straight hair. He was dressed in a black tuxedo and long black boots that went up to his knees.
