The Magic Mobile by:Richard Morrissey.

The Magic Mobile I've got a story to tell you about my experience with time travel. My name is Richard I am 12 years old and my friend's name is Eoin he is also 12. Here is my story. It was a dull Saturday morning at the end of winter. Eoin was at my house because we were going to go on a cycle. We were just about to go but it started to rain. "Will we make prank phone calls instead?" Eoin asked me. "Ok" I answered. I dialled the number 554 on my mobile. It started to ring. Someone picked up the phone and hung up straight away. When the person hung up the whole of the house flashed. I was suddenly lying on the ground of.....................................where was I? I got up and looked around. Eoin was on the ground. I said, "Get up". Before he could get up men with swords and spears surrounded him. They were dressed in red cloaks and had long bushy hair. Eoin asked, "Who are ye?" "We are Longshanks' men. I thought that Scottish people would know an English soldier when they see one". "We are not Scottish we are Irish" I told them. "What are ye doing in Scotland then?" they asked. "We are not in Scotland we are in Ireland you dopes". "Ha ha ha ha very funny. Kill them," they all laughed They were just about to strike until I said "Wait. What year is it?" "1102" they all answered. "Really" Eoin said "Really, really," the guards said. I remembered my mobile. I took it out and shouted, "stand back or I will zap ye". The guards cowered back. I winked at Eoin and said, "I will demonstrate the danger of the weapon". I pointed the mobile at Eoin and he fell with a smile on his face. The guards all ran away. Are we really in Scotland?" Eoin asked. "We must be.............................." I answered We looked all around all over the place but no sign of any Scottish people. Suddenly the ground started to vibrate. "EARTH QUAKE!!" Eoin screamed. "Would ya calm down man," I shouted at Eoin. Loads of horses were running towards us. "Loads of horsemen are heading our way," I told Eoin. The person in front of the pack when he got to us he said in a Scottish accent, "Are ye lost lads?" "Who are you?" Eoin asked. "I am William Wallace". "No you're not. William Wallace was seven feet tall". Eoin said. "Yea. I've heard he kills men by the hundreds and he consumes the English with fire bolts from his eyes and bolts of lighting from his hands," Wallace said sarcastically. "Ha ha ha ha" I laughed. I am William Wallace, High Protector of Scotland," he told us. "What are ye young lads doing here?" he asked. "Dunno," I answered. "Go back to England and tell them there that sons and daughters of Scotland will take this no more, tell em Scotland is free." Wallace demanded. "We are not English we are Irish" I told him. "What are ye doing in Scotland then" he asked. "Ah..................we travelled back in time" Eoin told him. "Ah go on out of that young lad. I'm going to have to kill ye now" Wallace laughed. "RRRRRRRRRRRUUUUUUUUUUUUNNNNNNNNN" Eoin shouted. "Ah lads I'm only having a go at ye" Wallace laughed. "Oh he he he he, I knew that Eoin pretended" "RRRRRRRRRUUUUUUUUUUUNNNNNNNNNN anyway" Eoin shouted. Eoin was just about to run until I punched him in the face. "Would ya calm down man; he said he was only having a go at us" I shouted "Thanks I needed that," Eoin told me. Wallace just stood there laughing. Suddenly a Scout Calvary came running over the hill. When he got to Wallace he said, "The English are coming down from the highlands hundreds of them" "ARE YE READY FOR A WAR LADS?" Wallace shouted "YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA" his army shouted. "Come on" Wallace told them. We followed them into a field. "Where are we" Eoin asked?
 
"Well if the books are right...................we are in Stirling," I answered. Lots of other soldiers were there and were preparing to leave the battlefield. "Wait," Wallace shouted. "What, who are you?" one of the soldiers asked. " I am William Wallace" Wallace declared. "William Wallace is seven feet tall," one of them said. I looked at Eoin and we both started to laugh. The ground started to rumble again. "EARTHQUAKE" Eoin shouted. "Shut up u thicko there are no earthquakes in Scotland," I told him. Loads of heavy English Calvary and infantry were coming down from the high land. "Whoa" Eoin said. "So many" I said. Suddenly I heard the Scottish talking again. "No. We will run and we will live" a soldier said. Wallace shouted: "Fight and you may die. Run and you will live at least a while. And dying in your beds many years from now would you be willing to trade all the days from this day to that for one chance, just one chance to come back here and tell our enemies that they may take our lives but they will never take our FREEDOM" "WALLACE WALLACE WALLACE WALLACE" they all shouted. The English infantry charged at the Scottish army. The Scottish charged too. When they met there was a huge rattle of armour and swords. There was blood flying everywhere. "We have to get out of here" I heard Eoin saying over the all the noise. "I KNOW," I shouted. "RUN" Eoin shouted. "WHERE" I shouted back. "ANYWHERE" Eoin roared. "WHY" I roared back. "An English soldier is heading our way" Eoin told me. I ran, Eoin could not move with fear. The soldier threw a spear at Eoin and missed by about an inch. I picked up the spear and threw it at the soldier. It stuck into his leg he fell to the ground in pain. He was still alive until Wallace came over and cut him in half. "Yock!" Eoin said. "What?" Wallace asked "You cut him in half" Eoin told him. "Yea why" Wallace asked. "Never mind" Eoin replied. "We gotta get out of here," I told Wallace. "Ok follow me," Wallace ordered. "Ok" Eoin said. "Right" I said. Wallace led us out of the field. "Wait" I said. "What?" Wallace asked "My mobile" I answered. "What's a.................A moble" Wallace asked. "First of all it's a mobile and it rings people," I told him. "Rings?" Wallace asked. "Never mind but I need it to get home". I told him. "Is it small and black" Wallace asked? "Ya how did you know" I asked." I saw a Falkirk guard pick it up off the ground," Wallace told me. "How do you know it was a Falkirk guard?" I asked. "Falkirk guards are the only ones who wear maroon cloaks," Wallace told me. "Oh" I said. "Hey what are ye talking about" Eoin asked. We ignored him. "HEY I'M TALKING TO YE" Eoin shouted. "Shut up ta fu" "Hey" "I said before Wallace could continue. "What?" Eoin asked "Let's think of a plan to get back the mobile," I told them. "Ok" Eoin said. "I'll get my clan to help" Wallace said. "Which clan?" I asked. "The Baydiel clan" Wallace told me.
 
"We'll go to the Castle at Falkirk and see if its there" Wallace said. "NO WAY I WAS NEARLY KILLED AT STIRLING, I'M STAYING HERE. YE GET THE MOBILE," Eoin shouted. I went over to Eoin and punched him in the face and knocked him out. "Why did you hit him?" Wallace asked? "He was getting on my nerves," I told Wallace. Wallace bursted out laughing. Wallace went off on his horse and came back with the whole of the Baydiel clan. Eoin was still knocked out so Wallace got the women in his clan to look after him. "Are you coming?" Wallace asked. "Yea" I answered. I was offered a horse but I rejected it because I don't want to talk about the last time I was on a horse. I was given a spear just in case I had to defend myself. We walked for miles until Wallace ordered us to stop. I could see the top of Falkirk castle. Wallace wanted to build a camp outside the castle so they could retreat whenever they wanted. "BUILDERS!" Wallace shouted. A whole load of unarmed people ran up to Wallace. There was about twenty of them. "Build a paladise wall" (which is a wooden wall) Wallace ordered. In about ten minutes the wall was built all around in a square around us. "Now build a Barracks" Wallace ordered. The Barracks was built quicker than one part of the wall. "Now build a town centre," Wallace demanded. When it was done he ordered them to build four watchtowers. And then they put up a few tents. "The camp is done now," Wallace told his army. "Now set up five trebachs (which are a type of huge catapult)," Wallace ordered. The builders set up five of them. "Get the rocks" Wallace ordered They put one rock in each of the trebachs. "Ready....................Loose" Wallace said. They cut a rope on each of the trebachs and the trebachs launched the rocks into the air and they hit the rocks into the air and they hit the castle. The rocks knocked down a bit of the castle. "Get the ram" Wallace ordered. The builders got a battering ram out of one of the tents. "Now knock down the door," Wallace told them. They ran under the ram and bashed the door. They didn't knock it down. They ran back again and bashed it again this time it fell. They moved the ram out of the way and Wallace shouted "CHARGE!!!". All of them charged and I followed. Suddenly loads of archers were up on the top of the castle. They fired arrows at all the clan. The first wave of arrows killed five men. "Here comes the second," Wallace told me. The second wave killed eight men. Before they could do the third we all ran in the door. We all ran into a big room with a round table in the middle of it. Loads of English soldiers ran in another door. They both charged at each other. They met at the table. Wallace cut through one of them like Moses through the Red Sea. There was a box full of spears behind me. I picked up loads of them and started to throw them. All the Scottish men backed out of the battle and threw them too. The English guards got out their shields and covered themselves. Some of us kept on throwing and some sneaked up behind them and stabbed them with their swords. All the English were dead. We went into another room and there it was, my mobile at the other side of the room. "I'll get it," a soldier said. He walked into the room only to be hit by loads of arrows. Wallace looked up. There was a big hole in the roof with loads of archers one the piece of the roof remaining.
 
"How are we going to get it?" Wallace asked "Has anyone got a rope here?" I asked "Ya I do" one of the men in the clan said. "Here everyone tie your shields together," I ordered. No one did anything. "You heard the boy. Do what he said," Wallace demanded. They all did as I said after Wallace told them. In about two minutes the shields were tied together to form one huge shield. I held the shield over my head so the archers could not hit me. I went in and heard the thump of arrows on my shield. I went in and was just about to get the mobile until a bit of the ground in front of me fell into water I think because I heard a splash. "Give me another shield," I shouted. Wallace threw me another shield and I caught it. I put it over my head and put the huge shield over the hole. I walked across the hole on the huge shield and got the mobile. I went back across and went to pick up the shield but it fell down the hole. My other shield was at the other side of the hole. "What will I do?" I asked Wallace. "Make a run for it" Wallace told me. I ran out and dodged loads of arrows. I was nearly at the door so I dived out. "Now you can go home," Wallace told me. "Not yet" I told him. "Why" Wallace asked. "Eoin" I told him. "Ok lets go back to the camp and get him," Wallace said. We went back to the camp. When we got to the camp the women who were minding Eoin threw water in this face. He woke up and saw all the women around him and said, "Am I in heaven?" All the women started to laugh. "No but you might be if you don't get up" I told him. "Oh you have your mobile" Eoin said. "Yea lets go home," I answered. "Ok" Eoin replied. "Wait Richie come here," Wallace told me. "What?" I asked. "Here take this sword," Wallace told me. "Thanks" I said. I Dialled 55............. "Bye friend" Wallace said. "Bye. I'll visit again" I told him. Then I dialled 4. The whole place flashed and I was back home. Eoin and me went into the sitting room. Brave Heart was on. "I don't know why they have films about William Wallace on the telly. He isn't even real" my sister said. "He's real alright trust me," I said with a smile on my face. The End by Richard Morrissey.
