Monster Hunters ch.5

Ben sat in the bright, breathtaking classroom of dangerous forests. The walls were filled with pictures of enchanted trees and dark, spooky forests. Ben was always interested in nature. He and Johnny had gone camping two summers ago. Ben can still remember finding the amazing waterfall. They had been exploring around the campground when Johnny spotted a cave in the ground near the outhouses. They had followed that cave for twenty minutes. It was full of all sorts of greenery and moss. At the end of the cave there was an amazing view of a waterfall leading into a river. Ben had taken at least sixty pictures with his digital camera. This is when Ben was first fascinated with nature and caves. “Good afternoon class.” said a woman who was sitting at a teacher’s desk in the corner of the classroom. She was short with long, chestnut brown hair. She wore a fire-red sweater with tall leather boots and even longer neon orange socks. “You don’t need your textbooks today, just your listening ears,” she said with a smile. “I understand that we have a new student here today, Welcome Ben.” Ben liked that she didn’t draw much attention to him, unlike Mr.Goodsnick. “My name is Mrs. Fonsborrow, I am the dangerous forests teacher here.” Ben responded with a nod. “Now, let’s get started.” She spoke. She then walked to the front of the class, “A lush, green forest is nature’s greatest gift.” was the first thing that she said. All the kids sat and looked at her. “I adore forests, but beware! Don’t get lost in the woods of horror.” She paused for a dramatic effect. “For in these woods you will only find three creatures, the ogre, the werewolf, and Tyborwink.” Ben’s classmates whispered to one another. “Then a girl asked: “has the woods of horror always been bad?” “An excellent question Jessica,” replied Mrs. Fonsborrow, “Those woods used to be a beautiful forest with rushing rivers and waterfalls, it was full of greenery for all of the animals,” she paused before saying: “Eighteen years ago, Tyborwink took over the forest, all of the animals left except for the Ogres and the Werewolf’s. “The Ogres live in the stone caves of terror, the Werewolf’s live in the forbidden underground tunnels. “Where does Tyborwink live then?” asked a boy. “Tyborwink roams the forest every night, looking for a lost wandering person to curse. After hearing this conversation, Ben wanted to hide forever. How was he the one who was going to defeat Tyborwink? 

Ten minutes later, ben walked out of the dangerous forests class. Johnny came up behind him and patted him on the back. “What do we have next?” asked Ben. “Workout hour,” said Johnny with a smile.
