The Tree of Lies

Miss Wilton had put up a photo of 2 girls facing a blank canvas and we were told to draw a picture of what the girls could be looking at and write a story about it. What I enjoyed about this was that we got to be creative. Next time I'll be more creative in my drawing.
The Tree of Lies

Picture

Many of years ago, there lived a small family of 4 in a house by the beach in Texas. The small family was quiet, in this family there was Chris the father, Leah the mother, Camilla the oldest daughter who was 16 and Kate the youngest daughter who was 12. One day, Camilla wanted to go to a concert her friend Becca had been talking about, but it was far away. Camilla hadn’t asked her parents for permission, but Becca bought the tickets anyways, so she went and asked her parents if she could go and they said NO!!. Camilla acted so angry it looked like she was going to blow. She stomped her way into her room and quickly took off the robe she was wearing over her clothes she was going to wear to the concert and snuck out of the window.  Along that, outside stood tall a tree but the weird thing about it is that it only had two leaves on it. What you're going to hear about this tree is weird and different. Before Camilla’s family had moved in, a genuine use to live in this house. He had children, naughty children and he was sick of them lying to him so he granted a wish and said may this tree be the Tree of Lies. Which means that when his children lie to him a leaf falls off the tree and when all the leafs have fallen down something bad would happen to them. I know you're thinking why would a father want to do that to his kids, but as a solo parent to 5 children he just couldn’t handle it. He also granted that anyone who lives there and if they lie they will go through what his children went through.

7 years after that the genuine died and had no chance of warning Camilla’s family about his wishes. The next day Camilla’s parents called Camilla down for breakfast. When Camilla came down she put her sad face on, her parents looked at her and said ‘we’re sorry you couldn’t go to the concert’, she looked down at her food and said ‘it’s alright but I really wanted to go’. At that moment a leaf fell off and Camilla and the family had no idea that something bad was heading Camilla’s way. It had been three days since the first leaf had fallen off and there was one more leaf and then something really bad would happen. Becca had contacted Camilla saying to go check out this online shopping website, Camilla went to use the laptop to check this website out but her sister Kate was on it.  Camilla asked to go on it and Kate said “NO” then they started arguing about it. A few seconds after that, Camilla violently smacked Kate and then Kate started crying. The two parents ran into the room and saw Kate crouching down on the floor with her hand on her face. Chris and Leah asked who started it and Camilla said Kate, the last leaf weaved itself down. The tree of lies looked like it had been standing there for years, it was black all around and what made it more scarier was that it was pitch black because it was night time. All of a sudden the doorbell rings…..To Be Continued……….
