CHAPTER 1 : THE BALL
The sun cast a very bright morning light on an island called Neon Island. Neon Island is the third largest island in their world. A state in Laysia country in the north of the Neon Island is the Bas state there was a town called Rapal Town. This town felt amazing to the three children who lived in Pica Neighbourhood.
Airley Stareyandra is a 12-year-old girl in that family, along with her younger siblings, Hetzey Star a 10-year-old middle brother and Starvilyia the youngest, at 9 years old. They all three are close-knit siblings, no matter if they ever argue or fight like all siblings do, they never break their loyalty.
It was a very lazy afternoon that day when the siblings woke up late. The siblings sat on the dining table with lazy eyes trying to open from sleepiness.
‘I’m still sleepy!!!’ Vilyia cried, her voice muffled as her face was on the table.
‘don’t be such a grump-sleepy-head, Vilyia!’ Airley teased her little sister with a playful smirk on her face.
Their mother serve them breakfast that is PANCAKES!!! Their favourite breakfast.
‘YUM!!! Pancakes of the morning. Finally…’ Airley said in relief then she gasp two times for her relief-ments.
After their quick breakfast, they went to the living room to play or do something. Airley sits on her desk writing her diary book using a very cute Pewn (Paw+Pen=Pewn). Hetzey is on the couch holding Mam’s blue smartphone. He plays it quietly with frown concentration to it. Vilyia, under her desk doing something like cleaning or organizing her place. Airley couldn’t think something to write down to her diary, she looked out on the window to see what she sees but nothing. She sighs because the boringness was so boring. The living room is quiet… Until, a ball with six legs came out from their Playbox. The ball has six legs that looked like an insects’, has green glowing eyes, sharp teeth and one antenna. Vilyia and Hetzey got scared then screamed, they hide behind Airley who still looked calm and clumsy. Airley grabs a skipping rope to shoo the creature away when she remembers something… That creature is their ball, but since when they brought a creature in the house? And where’s the real ball or the ball we have played is actually alive but shy?
‘HEY, YOU CREATURE!!!’ Airley calls the creature with a loud voice that made the creature to look back and approach the siblings.
‘Oh no!!! It’s getting close! We’re going to be eaten! Airley, you’re goofy and clumsy enough to fight and shoo that creature. Shoo it away!!!’ Vilyia bosses her big sister.
‘what?! You’re crazy? Do you think if I’m daring and brave can do it? No but I think so. Let’s try it, working together!’ Airley said with a very wide radiant smile.
‘Ok but what’s the plan?’ Hetzey asks Airley to make sure everything is organized completely even plans.
‘No plans. Just follow my lead and push your limits, maybe you have your hidden talents! Now! Go Go Go!’ Airley charges first leading them to the creature with her skipping rope.
The three of them charges the creature bravely to trap the creature. Hetzey grabs a net nearby and net the creature. Airley uses the skipping rope to tie the net so the creature won’t easily go out and Vilyia uses a chair that that has a hole on the middle and uses it as a cage because it is all covered. The three of them grab a big heavy book together to make the chair-prison unbreakable, they put it on the top of the chair to make it heavy.
‘phew! That was a hard working! It’s almost like we’re playing to catch a creature! But…What was that?’ Hetzey asks while he pokes the chair with his fingers to make sure it’s unbreakable.
‘I don’t know what is that thing but I’m sure it can’t go out, oh yes I’m very sure!’ Airley said proudly with her hands on her hips.
The creature stuck in the chair-prison became quiet then it let out a very loud squeal that made the siblings shut their delicate ears.
‘YIKES!!! What’s it doing now?’ Vilyia scream.
‘I don’t know but at least it can’t go out from the chair-prison!’ Airley said confirmedly while she shuts her ears.
But the same can’t be said by Airley, the creature got out of the chair-prison and squeal even louder!
‘AHHH!!! MY EARS!!!’ Hetzey screamed.
Their parents heard them screaming then go in the living room to see what’s gone wrong there.
‘what’s with all the noise here?!’ their Mam, Mrs. Nerra.
‘who is that creature?!’ their Dad, Mr. Hermess asked the kids.
‘I don’t know, Dad!’ Hetzey shouted while he is shutting his ears tighter.
‘this creature should be gone quiet for a while!’ their Mam said while she grab a rolling pin and aims to the creature.
The creature started running away from the aim. The kids share a glance then just by looking each other they knew what to do. The three of them grab their own thing to aim the creature on it’s head. Hetzey grabs a hanger nearby and runs toward the creature to hit it on the head. Vilyia grabs the net to catch it. Dad grabs a chair to slow it down. They run to hit the creature.
‘ouch! You hit on my head’ Vilyia cries when Hetzey accidentally hit on Vilyia’s head.
‘oops! Sorry!’ Hetzey apologieses Vilyia awkwardly because that made Vilyia to not share her treats.
Airley closed all the windows and doors. She stands not far from her family who chased down a creature to aim on it’s head, she is standing on the stairs just in case it goes to the attic or their room. After all that running, the creature looked back and sees the tired family panting on the floor. It laughs at them for thinking it was it’s victory. Behind, Airley quietly approach the creature from behind. She extends her hand forward then jump quickly to grab the creature with her bare hands. She caught the creature. The creature is wriggling trying to escape but Airley’s grip was too tight to escape… And to the creature, her gripping is painful.
‘YAY!!! WE defeated the monster!’ Hetzey and Vilyia celebrated their victorious moments with a high five to each other.
‘so you creature, talk now’ Dad orders the creature to talk. The creature stays quiet while frowning.
Suddenly, a loud rumble from outside was seemed to be approaching. The creature outside peeked through the window using it’s glowing green eyes. The creature that Airley gripped hard became happy and excited. It squeals and try to wriggle free but it was painful. Airley knew it would be painful then she weakens her gripping yet still firm. The creature started to speak.
‘MAMA!!! I’m in here! In this ugly house! This big girl is gripping me firmly! MAMA HELP ME!!!’ the creature squealed.
The big creature got worried then smashes the front glass door then grabs all the family including Airley. Then the big creature shook them until the small creature that was gripped by Airley fall down head first. The creature then put the family on the ground gently and take it’s baby then go away walking. It did smashed a car while walking home.
The family stayed their eyes wide by the experience they ever had in their lives. They went in their home then clean the house. Dad replaces the damaged door by ordering new glass doors calmly like nothing had ever happened.
