Taniwha story

A woosh of wind hits my face. The sound of a giggle hits my ear. The grass shivers in a path between people. I wonder if it's just kids giggling and there's a bit of a breeze in the air. We get called into the marae I hear someone singing. 
"I'm going to pull some pranks, I'm going to pull some pranks, I'm going to pull some pranks, I'm going to pull some pranks hehehehehehehe" 
When we get in the marae I felt my hair being fiddled with. When I look back my hair is plaited. It was in a ponytail
I said to Raedence, Phoenix, Anna raua Cassia, 
"Did you notice that my hair has changed? I think that someone messing with the wrong person."
We seat ourselves under the shelter people are talking at the front of the shelter, people that want to have a hongi with the people the belonged to the marae. As the students\teacher walk to have a hongi they will get to their head nice and gently. Then they will get called to explore around the marae some kids went over to a big huge tree. Some kids thought that there was a bird in the tree in the hole so they stuck their hand in the hole and got pricked. 
The kids went the wharekai and then suddenly the food disappeared in a blink of a eye. We had to get all our stuff together and go to school. 
As I walked on the bus I heard a voice in my head, "all the stuff that happened is the taniwha messing it all up" 
We had a long drive back to school. As we left the marae I saw the taniwha for some reason. It's probably because I know what he has done.
