A small cat was sitting on a glass table cleaning its paws, each lick to them would cause his blue bowtie to bounce slightly.

Though his fur was mostly white, his left ear was a light pink along with all four of his paws, causing them to look as if he was wearing pink socks over them.

“Oliver,” his master called as he walked into the dining room fully dressed,” you know the rules.” As his master gestured towards the floor with his head the cat, now known as Oliver, stared up at his master with bored light blue eyes as he finished cleaning himself before slowly standing and jumping off on to the cold tiled floor, successfully landing on the padding of all fours.

Oliver’s master, now satisfied that his cat was off the table, grabbed a discarded set of keys from the counter before making his way towards the house entrance. The cat watched while crunching his unusually fluffy eye bros together before quickly walking over to his master and sitting in front of his legs. Catching himself from falling his master locked down at the small ball of pink and white fur blocking his path.

Reaching down he stroked the cats back, hearing him purr he smiled.

“I have to go to a meeting now, but then I’ll have to make a quick stop at the store and restock the fridge and pantry since Alfred ate all of our food out of them the other night,” he explained taking in the sad eyes of his childhood friend, “don’t worry yourself now I’ll be back as soon as possible. Besides If I come back and see that you’ve been good and haven’t scratched the couch then maybe I’ll get you a little snack.” At the word snack Oliver instantly brighten up and rubbed against his master leg in apparition.

Laughing silently to himself he picked Oliver up and placed a gentle kiss on top of his fur covered hair and placed him on the floor before making his way out the door.

Watching his master close and lock the door behind himself, Oliver ran over towards the doors side window and saw his master’s car drove out of the driveway and disappear down the road. Instantly feeling loneliness set in he walked around the house before finding his cat nip filled mouse. After finding his favorite toy and picking the orange toy up with his mouth he carried it to his pink bed and placed it so it would not all over while he was taking his nap.

Laying down he yawned before slowly closing his tired, lonely eyes when a small breeze hit his face. Opening his eyes he looked around trying to figure out if he had just imaged the breeze or if it was real. Standing quickly he jumped up on to the couch near his bed trying to pin point the source. Feeling a stronger yet still gentle breeze move the fur on his face he turned his head towards the direction and found where the wind was coming from.

His master had forgot to latch the window and now the wind had blown the shutters open.

Jumping down from the couch Oliver made his way towards the window. After reaching the ledge of the open window Oliver jumped up with his claws out to help pull himself up.

Sitting down on the ledge he looked passed his masters front yard, currently growing different colored tulips, and the street, cars passing by occasionally, but held his curious gaze to the many people and buildings there were. To him, the world could never cease to amaze him.

Being interrupted by his stomach suddenly growling, he reluctantly tore his glaze from the outside world and to food bowl.

‘Empty’ He thought as his ears folded back along the side of his head in disappointment, looking back out the window an idea popped into his head.  ‘well master wouldn’t be too angry if I was to go or a walk, besides,’ he thought swishing his tail back and forth signaling that he was about to cause mischief, ‘what he doesn’t know won’t hurt him’.

Leaping from the window and onto the sun warmed grass Oliver stretched. ‘I haven’t been out of that house in so long I almost forgot what the sun felt like. When he finished stretching he made his way towards the faded white gate.

Crouching in a downwards position he jumped as far as he could before using his claws to quickly climb the rest of the way up though as soon as he reached the top he lost his balance resulting in him tumbling down on to the side walk. “Well that was a doozy” he chuckled out loud to himself, though to anyone else it would only seem as if a cat was sitting on his bottom meowing annoying.

After standing back up on his paws he made his way down the street searching for anything that smelled, looked, and tasted delicious. After nearly moving his tail out of the way of the foot of a teen not paying attrition to where he was going a sent hit his nose. ‘Now that, smells just delightful’.

Taking a sharp left to follow the smell, he soon found that it lead to a joyful looking man with a freckled face standing behind a brightly colored booth selling freshly baked apple cinnamon pies.

Looking at them caused Oliver’s stomach to growl and saliva to start to accumulate in his mouth. Walking closer to the man before he meowed politely, when he saw that it didn’t catch the stranger’s attrition he tried again but this time louder, but he was still polite.

This time the stranger looked around in confusion before his gazed landed on Oliver, his smile returned when he found the source of the sound. “Well now, what do we have here?” He question no one in particular as he picked up the small feline. “Aww,” he cooed, “Is the little poppet hungry?”

As Oliver nodded his head the man set him down on the booth. “Now, now we can’t have any of that, now can we.” The way he said it made Oliver think I was more of statement then a question. He watched as a man grabbed a median size kitchen knife from his apron and cut a small piece from one of his pies before carefully placing it on a colorful plate. The man then set it down in front of Oliver who wasted no time in hurrying over to devour the piece of pie, yet he still manage to keep the food from dirtying his soft coat. When Oliver finished eating he felt a hand start stroking his fur, causing him to immediately lean into his touch and start purring.

All too soon though, an oddly shaped bat came crashing down onto the table right in front of the poor cat and interrupted the peaceful scratching he was receiving. Quickly jumping off the table and sprinting away he took a quick look back only to see that the man who owned the bat had auburn colored hair and strangely colored blood red eyes, before looking back ahead of him to make sure he didn’t run into anything or anyone.

‘That was a close’ he thought in fear as he slowed to a walk along a mostly deserted side walk, aside from the one or two passersby’s. ‘I could have been killed back there.’ Still thinking about his near death experience he looked up at to sky seeing that the sun was close to setting. “I guess I should head home now.” He sighed thinking his master might be making his way home soon. He walked around a box that had been thrown in the middle of the side walk and was about to take a right to start his journey back when a noise caused him to stop in his tracks.

“That couldn’t be.” He let his sentence roll off his tongue not bothering to finish it as he look to the box he had just passed. Crouching, he stalked his way over to the box before taking a quickly looking into the box. Where he found a face looking right back at him, startled by the closeness of the kittens face he fell backwards and when he wasn’t in the kitten’s line of site he heard scratches. ‘He must be trying to climb out of the box.’ After calming down his racing heart he looked again, this time not surprise by the kittens face.

Oliver took in the small kitten’s appearance. It had brown fur with a red tint to it but it also had slightly longer black fur surrounding its neck, giving it the illusion of a fluffy collar. The kitten’s eyes were a blood red like the strangers that had tried to squash him with a bat earlier, but instead his eyes held innocents and determination instead of anger and hatred like bat wielding mans had, letting his eyes travel to the top of his head he saw that a piece of fur resemble an cowlick. He was also smaller than the average kitten so Oliver guessed that he was the runt of the litter.

“Hello” He meowed to the kitten, trying to start a conversation. Luckily the kitten responded back with the same hello. As silence eloped the both of them again the kitten stared up at the older cat.

“You’re not very good with keeping conversations going are you, oldie.” The kitten said with a small smirk, stunning Oliver by it rudeness. Still standing in shock the kitten looked up at Oliver with a bored expression. “So, are you going to help me get out or not?” Collecting himself quickly he stood straight and cleared his throat causing the kitten to look at him with a raised eyebrow. “What?” The kitten questioned While Oliver turned his head away from him. “I didn’t hear a please.” “Yeah me either.” The kitten answered back lazily causing Oliver’s eyes to widen.

“Do you have any idea just how rude you sound right now?” When the kitten didn’t answer him He waited a few moments before exhaling and asking him another question. “My name is Oliver or Ollie, which ever you prefer, and may I what acquire yours might be?”

When the kitten still didn’t answer him he gave in, leaning into the box he picked the other by the scruff of his neck with his mouth and sat him down beside him on the outside of the box.

“Thanks oldie, and also it Al.” The kitten said trying to walk away only to be stopped by Oliver stepping on his tail hard enough to stop him but gentle enough not to hurt him too badly. “And just where are you going?” Oliver question sternly, resulting in Al ceasing all his movements to escape. “To go and find a place to sleep and food. Al replied trying hard to keep his voice from cracking while under the gaze of the older cat.

“That’s why you’re coming with me.” Oliver said before picking Al back up the scruff of his neck, while Al hung from his mouth complying and struggling to get free.

Once Oliver finally reached the white gate of his and his masters house he wanted to let out a sigh, Al was still struggling and complying though less and less as each minute passed. Hopping and climbing over the gate, and barley keeping Al from hitting the obstacle himself, Oliver looked up at the window and felt relief wash over him when he saw that it was still open. Meaning that his master wasn’t back yet and if he could just get through the window and the both of them into his bed to sleep, then his master wouldn’t notice until the next morning when Al, undoubtedly, would be up and about trying to find a new way to anger Oliver.

Looking around the window Oliver noticed that a plant pot was low enough to the ground for him to jump onto, but at the same time high enough to reach the window. Making quick work of that and once again landing on the ledge and then the carpet of the living room, Oliver made his way to his cat bed in the corner of the room, he first placed Al in before lying next to the kitten to keep him warm. Al yawed and tried to fight off sleep by mumbling out a few more insults before nodding off and unconsciously cuddling himself into Oliver. Looking down at the sleeping kitten he planned out tomorrow’s events silently before falling asleep himself.

Only to be woken up hours later by the angry tone of his master’s voice, pointing out the obvious kitten laying in Oliver’s bed. ‘This is going to be a long day.’ Oliver thought sullenly before getting up only to be bombarded by questions by his master. ‘A very long day.’

THE STRANGER

Have you ever been scared before?

Well imagine yourself being chased by a stranger.

That is what happened to me.One day I was just cleaning up my back yard

when I suddently see a tall stranger walking up to me with a weird ugly man look.
I was so scared I paniced.to distract him I threw a rake at him. He cought it and threw it back.

K.M.

I covered my mouth as I stepped closer to the body. My mouth opened slightly and my eyes widened as I smelt the blood. My eyes darted to the person’s neck and I almost screamed. I backed up and was about to run, but I ran into something hard. I turned and looked up to see a boy with curly hair and very familiar eyes looking at me. He smirked and I saw an evil glint in his eyes that sent a shiver down my back. I looked back to see the body was gone and when I turned forward, the boy was gone…

I woke up crying, my head was pounding and my throat was sore from screaming. I looked around my room and my eyes landed on my door. There stood my frightened mother and little brother. I wiped my eyes and swung my legs over the bed. A shiver went through my body as my feet touched the cold wood floors. Standing up I walked to the bathroom, passing my mom and brother with my head down.

I sighed as I got off of the bus. I quickly hurried to the cafeteria just to see a huge crowd of people. Something seemed out of place though… I looked around and saw all the girls googly eyed and looked as if they are about to drool. Talk about not attractive. I let my eyes run over the crowd, looking for my friends, yet something or someone caught my eye. I furrowed my eyebrows and looked closely. This boy, he was tall, muscular, had curly light brown hair, and was somewhat pale. I know him from somewhere, just I don’t know where…

I was walking down the hall laughing at my friends, when suddenly I bumped into someone’s chest. I swear I have never been so scared to hit the floor, yet I didn’t hit the floor… I looked up and met brown and green eyes, those… They can’t be… I snapped out of my trance and pushed away from him, he looked kind of confused but had a knowing look in his eyes. What would he know?

“My bad, I wasn’t looking.” I said looking back into his eyes, this time they were guarded. “No, no, it’s okay. I should have been paying attention.” He then said looking away. I opened my mouth to speak but someone called my name and so I turned around, seeing no one, I faced forward and he was gone. Just like in my dream.

D.B.

Shattering glass, breaking bones, and screaming silence. That was all to describe the accident. Addictions caused it all. innocents taking the pain and the pain taking the innocents. How can something so bad happen to someone so good?

He made the choice, the choice that landed him in a continuous, never ending prison. The price for addiction is freedom. But alas, the long ride to the family’s destination had ended that very day. This is where the story begins.

A young widow, who had twin infants noticed everything. She noticed how selfish the world was. The young widow decided to take her infants to what she called a sanc·tu·ar·y or par·a·dise; a word which here means a small, safe place hidden from the troubling world outside. But alas, the widow had no idea their lives would change in the next four hours, no one did. Nobody could predict how the pain would feel for the mother and her babies. They did no wrong but took the punishment. Nobody knew that this innocent family’s life would change forever.

The lonely man who had nothing to live for was tired. Tired of pain and abuse. Not only did he not realize he wasn’t only hurting himself, but he didn’t realize he was the one who was abusing himself. And a selfish crowd of people, who stood there and watched, who did nothing to help. They just watched the children cry as they mourn for comfort.
In this story there are two deaths, two orphans and two cars. An innocent widow took the pain and the orphans took the consequence of being alone. The addict passed; his wish came true and just when he thought he left this troubling world here, he had to get ready for the worst. In the end the selfish crowd, who watched the orphans’ hearts rot, lived with guilt for eternity. This is an unfortunate end, the death or a mother and an addict, two orphans who separated years later and an eternity of guilt for the selfish. The truth is, I am the young widow, this is to my children who i hope find each other soon. This is for the ones who didn’t quite understand at the time. This is my story- the story of my tragic death.

O.M.

There was a boy walking home after a long day at school and noticed that something was  wrong.The boy noticed that they have been robbed and his mother was shot dead and his dad shot dead and his dog alive and happy but saw the fish shot dead.Everyone dead and the boy stood there in shock then he heard something in the back of the house. it sounded like someone talking about the the murder then they noticed that someone else was in the house. the boy ran as fast as he can and ran to the closest neighbor to tell them to call the police but startled because when he entered the house he noticed that they were also been robbed and murdered the boy knew them for years and saw that their neighbors have been killed all six of the people just dead even the pet cat shot nine times. The boy was terrified and worried now and ran as fast as he could to the neighbors house but saw that the house was on fire the boy cried in fear then the worst happened the boy was killed jk lol he was dreaming

BLACK HOLES
One day i woke up. I went outside. There was two holes in the ground. I put my finger in one and it came out the other hole. So then i jumped in one and came out the other one. Then i picked up one of the holes off the ground and put it on the street. Then i put the other one in my room. I was standing in the middle of the road and a 18 wheeler came. So i jumped in the hole and i appeared in my room. Then a UFO came and i jumped in the air. I grabbed the UFO and pulled the alien right out. It was hard because he had a big head. So after that i took his UFO and went into one hole and came out the other. Then at the end of the day i ended up with two magic hole’s and a UFO.And also a dead alien. I hung him up on the wall for like a month. Then after a month i put him on ebay. Then the next day i sold him for 100,000 dollars. That day was crazy.

I panicked I ran to get my owner. I barked really loudly to wake him up. He then woke up and i made him follow me. We got back to the window ,but all that I saw was the window broken with no guy. My owner looked confused as why the window was broken. I saw him go somewhere and it looked like he was picking up his phone. A few minutes later I heard a really loud noise outside and then someone knocked on the door. it was a police man he was big and tall. He was talking to my owner. he was probably asking him what happened. I don't really understand their language. the guy left and came back with a suitcase. It looked like he had some powder and tools. then he started touching things with his tool and put powder on them. After that he talked to my owner than left. to me that day was really crazy i was so scared the whole time. I didnt want to eat because I was so traumatized from what had happened. Thats the end of my story bark you later.

The Missing Patty

Where did it go? No one knows where the krabby patty had gone off to. Did it grow feet and walked out the restaurant? It was a mystery, needing of figuring out. Guess who stepped up for the challenge …. Spongebob Squarepants.

“Ahoy Krusty crew!” Spongebob yelled “Quiet down boy, you can’t afford blowing your cover” Mr.Krabs whispered. “Now our first victim Sandy Cheeks.” Sandy has been in the Krusty Krab longer than usual, maybe she has something to do with the missing patty. Sandy like any other day is practicing her karate moves. Spongebob walks to her tree dome and knocks. “Hey Spongebob. What do you need?” Sandy said . “Do you recall stealing this patty!” as Spongebob shows the picture of the patty. “What in Davy Jones locker are you talking about!?” as she proclaims. “Don’t play dumb with me squirrel!” “Listen Squarepants i’ve been in a diet for the past week” “Oh yeah why have you been in the Krusty Krab for the past days?” Spongebob asked. "For lettuce and tomatoes!" "Oh. Sorry for bothering you Ms.Cheeks" Spongebob walks away.
"Next victim Plankton."

The most insane, crazy, fun weekend i had recently was AWESOME!  I just had smiles the whole 2 days weekend all the way through.

Starting on a Saturday morning… Very early, close to 3am, i’m in bed just laying there thinking of what my weekend would be like. then i was just thinking about if it would i just be a BORING weekend… The ones where you normally don’t do anything for the rest of the day, being a bum… Or if it would actually be fun and exciting… Then i soon fall asleep and wake uo to the most greatest news! We were going to SixFlags later on that day! My father woke me up out of dead sleep to tell me what our family was going to do for the whole weekend. it was exactly 8am when my brother ran in with the big news.. Super excited. The first thing we were getting ready to do is get our things ready for Sixflags and to get dressed so we could go shopping! Soon as me and my brother were done getting dressed ready to go, we raced to the car and had big smiles on our faces.

It seemed like we was shopping for ever but time actually went by super fast, like lightening. My brother and I got our clothes and soon as we got them we went to go change in our new cool outfits. My brother had a red and black outfit with nice Jordans and we was looking fresh as always. I also had a really cute outfit. It was a black shirt with pink glitter on it and it was super sparkly. Also these cute white shorts i had that had a real live design on them. I knew i was looking fresh.

So after the shopping my daddy, brother and i went back to the car to drive to Arlington TX to Six flags! i was just so, very excited words almost couldnt explain what my brother was acting towards the whole thing. Jumping in our seats in the car ready to play around and goof off….My brother kept saying “ARE WE THERE YET?” My daddy said “NOPE NOT YET!” Haha and my brother was like “WELL THIS CAR NEEDS TO GO FASTER!” and it sounded like he was getting mad. I was laughing HARD the whole entire time because he kept complaining.. Until we finally got there.

When we got there, our eyes got big! Jaw dropping scenes that we have not  seen in a long while! When we parked, my brother and I LITERALLY ran inside! My dad says “DON’T GO TO FAR NOW.” Guess what my brother do… He ran SUPER far out of his sight. EVEN MINE. So my daddy and i had too look around for this fool and things got crazy

Why was this conversation so amusing to us?? We laughed so hard that it felt as if someone had just  planted a bomb in our stomach and it was just beginning to explode. It wasn't just this ordinary day on the bus we will never forget. We were laughing about the most hilarious thing on EARTH. If Skaii told you what she was laughing about she would think she’d get in trouble  so she might as well keep it to herself. Ah, She says, “its me to inside to keep this to myself”, “I’ll  just go ahead and say it. We were laughing and talking about Reynaldo, Reynaldo Pitts”. The bus driver finally got off at the stop that Me, Crystal, Skaii, and Ryanne got off.
" We got off the bus as if we were crazy ass monkeys who just escaped from the zoo. As we were walking like that we all started walking like Reynaldo Pitts. It began to be creepy as we were walking to her house, because it was super quiet. We finally got to Ryanne house and we got into her garage it shut thundering loud noise sounds of her garage shutting , it got dark Crystal started whining complaining saying, " OH MY GOSH .....YOU GUYS IM AFRAID OF THE DARK". Crystal said. Ryanne says "chill the keys are right here I'm about to open the door now". As we walked in Ryanne was yelled out loud "HELLO...IS ANY BODY HOME". No one answered so we just figured that no one was home. Ryanne asked us "Are you guys hungry". We just said yes , but apparently we didn't really eat at all we just drank some Gatorade and went into the dark dungeon called the living room. Ryanne asked Crystal "hey do you want to watch sponge bob". Crystal replied "yea niña". Ryanne started to get weird she started acting creepy doing all kinds of flips and exercism stuff. Crystal pulled out her phone and started to record her. After crystal turned around to record Ryanne vanished out of no where and was gone in a flash. Ryanna and Crystal started hearing noises and wheelinand moaning noises

She had thoughts about how the city was going to be, she asked her self what if mom and dad are right about the city? What if something wrong happens? She tolled her self "Nicole stop worrying everything is going to be okay". She closed her eyes and fell asleep in the car. When she woke up she looked around saw street lights everywhere, she lowered the window car so she could smell the city air. She put her head out the window, wind blowing on her face. Sticking out her nose to get the good city air. She had a big smile on her face. Alex the butler looked thru the mirror and saw how Nicole was so happy.  She said"Alex I think I want to live here, mom and dad make it seem like the city is a very bad place to live in, but I like it here ". As the car was moving she saw little kids playing around the streets, people walking in the park, dogs chasing each other. They had stopped in a gas station, she went up to a pay phone. She got on the phone to call her mom to tell her she was okay and that she wanted to move down to the city as soon as they could because she feel in love with the city, and that she didn't want to go home no more. Her mother said" Nicole honey . If your happy down their, then Im going to be down their by Tomorrow to start looking at houses. I just want to see you happy, but if you want to live down their then will move down their. I love you and be careful, See you soon". Her mother the next day payed off a house in the city, in a nice neighborhood next to a school with a lake. And ever since that day she made a lot of friends and fell in love with the city. Nicole lived happy ever after .

Sunday, 12:00am Sharp. I don't know what I'm doing up when I should be asleep dreaming. I lay in my bed trying to fall asleep, I don't ; I'm Still wide Awake Like Something is keeping me from sleeping. 12:30am, I have given up laying down so now I'm sitting up starring at the wall. The room is pitch black so I don't know which side on facing , but I hope its towards the door. I'm sitting , Waiting for time to fly by or until my body gives up and I pass out.
1:15am, Ive started talking to my self to pass the time for there was no one for me to talk to at this time. Glancing at my alarm clock once in awhile to see how much time has passed. Only 25 minutes Have Passed! 1:40am: I get out of bed to get some water. I Started walking towards my door when I notice I didn't know which way I facing or where my door was. So I stuck my hands out and closed my eyes. I walked straight , looking for a wall of my room. I walked through what felt like a long hall way until I touched one of my walls, but I Still didn't know which way I was facing or which side of the room of was on. I had a feeling everything in my room was missing because I remember I had two dressers and my little brothers bed so I should have hit one of those! Right?
I started walking with the edges of my four sided wall, well at lease I hope its still four sided! After walking around my room for a long time I have found my door of after my what felt like three hours was nearly twenty minutes.
I Slowly start opening my door as I hear my door slowly creep open and take a peek threw the small crack to see if anyone else was outside of there room, it was to dark to see anything and it sounded like no one was wake i mean i would of heard them walking around. I started opening my more, just enough so I could get threw. As I stepped out my room and glanced down my hall way still nothing but darkness. I Started walking down the hallway as slow and quiet as I can be trying not to wake up my cats. I Walk Towards my wall to know when i was going  and so i don't walk in a circle. As i follow the wall I have found my stair case which i was afraid to go down for the fear of falling and cracking my head open. I extend my arms out to grab the railing and I start to walk down the steps and my vision slowly gets clearer the more I'm in the dark which is a good thing. As I start walking down the steps something strange is happening the stair case seem`s to become more narrower and the steps become more steeper I thought to myself convincing my self its just the darkness creating an illusion in my head.        I get the bottom of what felt like an endless stair case and find the nearest wall and keep close to it. i start to look around keeping my hand on the wall; looking for anything usual, out of place, or missing; everything looked clear from my view. I stared walking towards my living room when i notice a shadowy figure in the corner; at first i thought it was my Christmas tree but i remember i took that down in January. For a moment i figured it was my shadow but it didn't copy any of my movements it just stood there motionless like a manikin just staring at me. We stood there staring at each other in the dark or at lease i was i staring at him or her I wanted to get closer but I was not sure i i should or shouldn't; I wanted to run back up the stairs and back to my bed but i was really thirsty so i walked towards my kitchen not braking my gaze at the shadowy figure. I make it to the kitchen and turn on the light and then looked straight back to the figure in the corner it still seemed to be stationary. As I Turn to look at my kitchen everything was there but it was backwards, I don't know what or who done this but I have a feeling that it was the Shadow person. As I turned to see the person...thingy..shadow... The lights turned out. Darkness again as my eyes tried adjust to the darkness i started to hear footsteps getting closer and closer.  2:45am, hoping its one of my brothers but knowing it wasn't I called there names out. " Miguel, Adrian, Miguel, Adrian". No answer. I was frightened because its the shadow guy walking closer. I started walking towards where the footsteps where coming from; hoping it wont attack me. As I turn towards to the living room the footsteps stop and i believe the shadow figure was in front of me. I reach out to touch it when i felt him the light came back on and i saw him I knew who the shadow guy was I took a long gaze at him tears came to my eyes as i reach with my other hand there was a blue flash of light then everything turned white then black. Everything cleared and i glanced at the clock on my stove 3:50. I walked back to my room and just lay in my bed tears streaming down my face then i dowsed off to sleep... 12:00am Sharp the light of the alarm clock shines on my face.

Hey Nick, ya Jacob, do you remember what day it is. Youre still counting the days. Why wouldn't I be. nevermind what day is it. It's the day this started 7 yeas ago. Already! Keep it down she's resting remember. sorry I forgot. Hey nick do you think this will ever be over. Maybe, but then what, does it even matter anymore. Probably not. Remember when it first happened. Ya, first the lights went off, no one cared thought the power would come back on in a little while, then a few hours later everyone was trying to call the power companies, then the next couple of days all the phones wouldn't work for one reason or another, people eventual realized it wasn't coming back, chaos broke out, it was complete hell. I wish we could of done something to stop them, they were all lunatics, power goes off and they think the best way to handle it is to panic and go into a frenzy! we still had food and shelter, just not electricity! Jacob remember she's hurt let her rest. Sorry it's just, it makes me angry to think that people could do this to each other. do you think she'll be ok. I don' know nick, Hopefully the bullet was in pretty deep, we don't have much medicine so all we can do is wait and pray. Jacob! We cant just wait for

The Final Mission

Everyone was wary of the ending but did nothing to stop it. They fueled the aggression and started something that should’ve never happened. The night it all ended started with multiple flashes and one big bang. When the flashes turned to clouds and smoke, millions had perished leaving nothing left but a shadow. Those who were prepared and hid underground are all that remained of us now.

The war between two nations rocked the earth to its core; the people on each side fueled the war with their families and ideas. They were willing to do whatever it took to destroy each other. When they first found nuclear power, they both knew the end was near. They remained ignorant of each other’s potentials due to their sense of pride. When one nuclear bomb was launched, others came with it and the world ended in nuclear annihilation.

Three years later, the underground survivors found each other and banded to create colonies. The colonies created a council and an economy, but even when they are civilized the people still know they have nothing left. When all is lost they cling on to the little bit of hope they have left. They believed in a story told by a surviving member of a scout team. He told them about his mission to the surface and how he found a strange device. He described the device as a sphere with lush grass and bright colored flowers surrounding it.

The man never had a chance to tell people where it was before he went on a mission to retrieve it; he never came back. After numerous losses and countless attempts, the council was prepared to give up on it, but not before sending one last team: Foxtrot 07. This team consisted of five members: Frank, James, Amelia, an android named John, and their leader, Mark. They were assigned to scout and retrieve in the city, a long forgotten accomplishment of humankind that is slowly being reclaimed by nature.

The team had various pieces equipment including one flare to signal a rescue vehicle. A vehicle would bring them to the city but they would have to go on foot the rest of the way. On the way to the city James and Frank turned pale and sat silently. The team knew why they were so spooked. After all, any team that came to the city never came back. They made it to the surface and put on their gas masks.

The surface was a desolate wasteland with no plants as far as the eyes could see. Water puddles boiled in the radiation and the sky had taken the color of smoke. There was a black cloud in the distance that had bright yellow flashes inside of it. Amelia figured it was some sort of acid storm coming their way and said, “We should probably get to cover, that looks like an acid storm.” The team hiked to a nearby building and set up camp. They looked around for supplies in their shelter and waited for the rain to stop outside.

The rain sizzled as it touched the ground and walls and when the rain was over, Mark screamed out in pain and fell to the floor. The team looked back to see four shadowy figures duck to cover. Mark was losing blood fast and needed treatment, but all they could do at the time was drag him out of the way of the combat. John flanked the figures and shot two of them down while the other two ran. James managed to shoot one in the leg and the other in the arm. They were incapacitated. After the fight Mark got his leg stitched and bandaged while the raiders were interrogated by Frank.

Frank looked at them in shock after they told him who they were. They said they were raiders but before that, they were part of the colonies near the north. They were sent after the sphere but the escort never came for them. They laughed maniacally as they spoke and it was clear they had gone mad from the events they went through. He told the group what he found out and they decide to execute the prisoners either out of fear or sympathy.

They started to walk deeper into the city; their expressions were grim and hopeless. The thought of being a popularity stunt so the council could gain the trust of the people, and being sent on a suicide mission with no escape shook them to the bone. The noble cause that they were proud to call a mission was now a joke. They marched for hours, nobody spoke but they all knew what each other were thinking.

The team stumbled upon a tall building, a facility of some sort. They saw a trail of green grass that stretched from where they were to the back of the building. They followed the trail and saw a spherical shape. Their collective spirit came back and they ran towards it. Mark ordered John to analyze and report what it was, and since John had programing from before the nuclear event that wiped out almost all the humans, only he could understand it.

John turned back; he starts his explanation, “Analyzation successful… Object appears to have a small nuclear core and a liquid substance that appears to accelerate decay of mutations,” he continued, “The substance seems like it’s activated through large amounts of heat and radiation, that explains the core.” James asked if the device would be lethal to humans that are mutated and the answer he got was less than satisfactory. The emotional stress that the team had gone through was now taking its toll.

The decision needed to be made: kill hundreds to save thousands, or let humanity endure the hardship of the new era they were in now. Amelia, Mark, and John agreed it was the logical answer but James and Frank argued it was murder. An argument broke out that seemed too intense to stop anytime soon and someone was about to take action. When Amelia went for the trigger that sat still at the right side of the bomb, she was shot in the arm. The chaos was subdued by the sound of roars that shook the trees around them.

Lizard like creatures with a canine head jumped out of the forest. First it was a pack of a dozen, and then more and more came out. Their size didn’t help the team either; each one was the size of a car. “Sta... stalkers!” Frank yelled through his shock. The team ran for the nearest entrance to the facility and shut the doors. After they settled down, they noticed two important components. One was Amelia, who had been dragged away and most likely eaten by the stalkers, and the other was the flare she was carrying with her.

Their chances of getting away were drastically decreasing by the second. The stalkers were all around them, their leader was wounded, their ammo was low, and their flare marker was gone. Their only chance was to detonate the bomb. They started to get into formation when they noticed the door open. Mark had gone outside, drawing attention to himself and limping to the bomb. The team attempted to catch up but before they could, Mark stopped them and said his last order, “Run away… Live!” The team ran for the forest, and they knew Mark would have to pull the trigger soon.

They barely got out of the forest as an explosion shook the ground they stood on. Trees ripped from their trunks from the shockwave. Out of the blast came a haze of blue particles that blew with the wind. Everything in the middle of the blast was incinerated. Mark died saving the team. The team managed to find their way to a nearby outpost and made their way back home.

The members and team of Foxtrot 07 went down in legends, a permanent mark in history. Mark’s final words were kept in files and were thought to be meant for the Foxtrot 07. That was only half true: he meant the last part of that command for humanity.

Princess problems

Once upon a time there was this teenage  princess named Isabella Flores. Isabella Flores was a beautiful rich girl. She was so friendly to so many people. Isabella was so popular and she lived with her mom and dad. Isabella always cared for people. People loved her alot. But isabella was nothing compared to her parents. He parents didn’t care about people, and her mom always told her to stay away from those people because the had “germs”. isabella always laughed at her mom because she thought that everything that she thought was funny. But isabella’s parents were so mean.Isabella was nice and love and cared about everyone.

One day Isabella went grocery shopping buy her own. Everywhere she went she always her a “hey beautiful Isabella” She smiled, she loved being called beautiful. While Isabella was grocery shopping by her own she saw a happily married couple.”One day ill get married with a prince that will love me a lot and will respect me” She thought as she saw the couple hugging. After Isabela went shopping she went back to her sweet home. when she got home she was just doing chores at her house and she thought about “Love”. Isabella never had a boyfriend before, she always wanted one though but she thought that all guys were jerks.

The next morning Isabella got up at 7:30am to get ready for school. She wore a beautiful dress and had her long brown hair curly. Her hair color was the same color as her beautiful eyes that sparkled in the sun. while she was walking to school she passed by a cute guy. She bumped into him by accident. “Oh my bad” isabella said.”It okay” said the cute boy as he looked into her eyes. “My name is Ricardo Belmarez nice to meet you”. “My name is isabella Flores” she said as she smiled at Ricardo.”Mind if i walk you to school?” said Ricardo as he smiled to Isabela. “ No, i don't mind at all” Said isabela. Ricardo was a nice, cute guy. Him and Isabella went to the same school. They always talked to each other. He always made her laughed and they loved hanging around each other.

The next day Isabella was texting Ricardo and she felt so happy. She went to her room and thought about Ricardo. She thought that Ricardo was very cute and had a really cute smile. Isabella did not liked him as a friend she fell in love with him. Ricardo felt the same way but she didn't know. She kept on thinking about him. Until Ricardo asked her out and said “Will you be my girlfriend” Isabella with excitement said “Yes”. There was only one problem, Isabella's parents did not let her date at all. Isabella waned to tell her boyfriend but she though that he will leave her just like that. "He doesn't have to know that my parents do not let me date".

The next day when Isabella was ready for dinner she sat at the table and her parents were there too she thought that if she should tell them that she has an amazing boyfriend that loves her. She was scared at the same time." How was school Isabella?" Asked her father. Isabella answered and said "my day was great" as Isabella was heading to get her potato she quickly asked "Potato anyone?" As she spoke fast. Her father looked at her and he said "Something is suspicious about you" and Isabella said " uhh .. It's nothing" as Isabella was chewing her chicken. "Are you hiding something from us?!" Isabella finally admitted that she had a boyfriend she was scared how would her parents react. They were just happy. And Isabella was confuse. " you are not mad" as her parents laughed and said "No, why would we be, you are very beautiful and one day we will have to let go as you as a baby" Isabella went to sleep happy.
As isabella woke up and got ready she was never this happy to tell her boyfriend that her patents were happy that she had a boyfriend. Isabella went up to Ricardo and told him the big news. He was happy as we'll. months passed and they were like the happiest married couple. No one got into their relationship. There said that they were gonna be together forever and always.

J.VAS

There she is; a beautiful new girl named Lily. She is really, really beautiful. Word is she came from New York City. City girl, huh? Well I guess. I’ve been looking at her every two minutes or so.. I skipped class to watch her in class, and kept my distance every time I’d walk “with” her.

Just look at her, she’s amazingly beautiful. You want to know what’s funny? People are already making up rumors about her. They’re saying she’s into that voodoo stuff and how when she yawns, her mouth opens incredibly wide. “Incredibly un-human”, to be exact. I shrug it off and go on to my next period that I happen to have with her. History, room 503. I sit down and suddenly I lose my voice. I felt as if she came right up to me and took my voice, along with my heart. So all I could do is stare at her throughout the whole fifty-seven minutes.

The bell rings and I’m lost. I stay seated while everybody sprints out. Lily gets up and walks to the door slowly. As she’s walking out, I’m staring. When she reaches the door she says “Come here Julian. Walk with me.” I get up rapidly and speed walk toward her. It’s like she has me in a trance. A trance so strong, Hercules couldn’t even break out of it. We end up walking in a hallway called the “Further”. We call it the “Further” because of the incident that happened during the years the school first opened. A young girl went downstairs near the dungeon to skip class, but ended up having the worst possible outcome: Death. Camera’s showed the girl walking in a class, the lights shutting off, along with the door slamming. During the investigation, Coroners didn’t find a body, or any traces that showed someone was in the room. F.B.I ended up sealing the case off.

The weird thing about this idea of walking with Lily is the reason. Why? Why can’t I break out of this trance? What’s holding on to me?! Can I stop walking with her?! My innerself is screaming, while my outer appearance is saying otherwise.We ended up in the room that little girl died in. The only difference is now there is the sight of blood on the walls and floors. Then I start to think, “Is she doing this to me? Is that why I’m feeling like a puppet?” That’s when it hit me. My friends warned me about her, they all said she was into voodoo. I should’ve listened!

When she sat me down, she remained standing up. She asked me a odd question. Lily said “Do you believe in ghost pretty boy?” Right away I answered “Of course not.” But my mind told me to say “Yes!” When I released the comment, the lights shut off and the door slammed. Lily growled “Wrong Answer!” Seconds later, all you could hear is silence in this hall.

THE LOST INTEL

It was cold winter night, it was about 12:59 when they came…...and took it. Right before we went to sleep we had looked it away and hide it but i guess they still founded it some how. This was insane we needed to find it so that we could use for what was coming next.

We went out to our secret hide out to see if we could track it. But it was no where to be found. We had lost our most valuable intel that we had…. and it was time to get it back.

As we were planning out our paln we thought about who could have took it the Russians. They been on the same mission we were while we were trying to get the intel from the FD. We needed to find the intel before things got out hand.

We started looking for them but could not find them anywhere. We needed that Intel so we would know the food critic would be at our restaurant. Those Russian had been trying to get us out of business since the first day we opened but I thought that this time they might actually do it.

But we would not let that happen. As we looked and looked we just could not find it. We were running out of time "the critic could get here today"said josh. So we had to close our restaurant before the critic got here we sent jim to go close is.

Then our leader BIG POPS said that we still had one more option. We could go to the FD and take the intel again. But then all of a sudden  everything got silent..... and all we heard was the bell ring from the door and someone had came in.

Can you guess who?????

" Wake up! Despierta Abigail ‘bieber’ you're going to be late for school". "I'M UP MOM", I yelled back. Oh god here we go again I hate waking up so early for school and the best part is, I'm already late. I still have to do my hair but I'm so tired, maybe I shouldn't have stayed up past midnight fangirling about Justin Bieber-no what am I saying that picture he put on Instagram yesterday was so cute how could not.

8:30am, everyone is in ravens nest. "All eighth graders go to the big gym for ravens nest today Abigail", said the lady in the office. "Kate did you see his picture yesterday?!". Kate is one of my best friend if there's something to know about justin bieber we would know about it. "Yes! It was sexy" she said. We kept on talking about it while walking down to the gym, as we took our seats in the bleachers the principle walked down to the center of the basketball court and said, "Because of outstanding attendance and grades from both seventh and eighth graders all the teachers and myself have decided to give everyone a 'free day' the gym and cafeteria will be open to whomever, we will come back later when the pep-rally begins".

Wow this is something people only wish their principle would say, but it's okay if our day is just chilling back and relaxing you don't have to tell me twice. "how much longer until the pep-rally Abigail?". "4 or 5 minutes I think" , I replied. BAM!, dancers, confetti, music it all happened so quickly.

A man walked up the bleachers held out his hand and said "come with me, you're going to love this". i followed him down to the middle of the court but, what was going on?.

“can you please trust me?”, he said. i stared at him looking unsure, he handed me a bandana and sat me down in a chair. “something weird is going on, whatever i'm just going to put the bandana on”, i thought to myself.

i felt a hand pick me up. “for god sakes you just sat me down why are you making me get…”, and in that moment right when i took the bandana off, there he was it almost didn't seem real but there he was!. the one who i always look up too, the only person who is there with me when i'm heartbroken and helps me feel better through his music, justin bieber. a tear quickly fell down my cheek i jumped on him, giving him a huge hug. “i love you so...so much”, i cried.”i love you way more abigail” said justin.

what do i say to him cause if speak one more time i might throw up, i'm already crying like a little baby. how bout, did it hurt when you fell from heaven? and then wink?, no thats going to make me look stupid.

i stood there in front of him for about three minutes, its like im in mute im trying to say something but words won't come out. “haha, i can see i left you speechless, how about we go st down”. he said.

it only took about fifteen minutes for me to get my cool back and to not cry whenever he would stare at me, but i finally had the guts to say i was so happy he was there, he smiled at me and it was so cute his eyes were just the perfect shade of brown it was just like i imagined but only better. we sat together until the pep-rally was over, but when they released everyone over 30 girls ran yelling his name and trying to hug him. five of them knocked me over when they were trying to get a picture it hurt but i sucked i up.

“hey stop, stop!, are you okay abigail?, lets go” , said justin. five bodyguards surrounded us and led us to justins car. “are you hungry?” he asked, “yeah a little bit, lets go to in n out”.

we went through the drive through, got our burgers and we headed out.”i've been meaning to ask you something abigail.”, he said. “what is it?”, i replied. “i spoke to scooter earlier today while everyone was in the gym before the pep-rally because i had a chance to see a video of you singing. you're very talented you know that”. he said.”it means alot coming from you justin thank you”. i said. “well i asked scooter if he would be interested in giving you a record deal cause i know i would”, said justin. “really! what did he say?”, i replied.”he said send her in the next flight to los angeles cause i'm giving her a record deal”.he said. “OH GOD HE GAVE ME A RECORD DEAL THANK YOU JUSTIN, i love you so much”, i replied.

my dream is finally coming true, and my mom agreed on letting me go to L.A .

we arrived the next morning to california, when the plane was arriving i saw three people waiting for us and as it got closer to the ground i noticed scooter braun, xavier, kenny.

scooter said he wanted me singing in the booth as soon as possible, so after three days i finally got to relax a little.

“im so bored”, said justin. “what do you wanna go do egg a house, ‘lol’”, replied xavier. “we should!, we have nothing better to do so lets go.” i said.

all three of us took five eggs, jumped the fence and surrounded the neighbors house. i counted 3….2….1!. in literally less than one minute we heard sirens. it was almost crazy how quickly justin looked back at me, i could see it in his eyes he was afraid but not for himself, for me. he hid me in a bush, a white light appeared in his face. “put your hands where i can see them”, xavier blamed everything on himself, just like justin protected me xavier protected him.

i felt too embarrassed to speak to him, but i had to.”i'm so sorry i didnt mean for the cops to come”. i said with guilt in my face. i thought he would be mad at me, he got up and hugged me. “theres a reason i hid you, i care for you and i don't want anything to happen to you plus i think i've done worse, but its okay you don't have to worry about it”, he said.

on the drive back to his house from the police department i told him all about my life back home, i told him how everybody calls me abigail bieber and how blessed i am to be with him and be supported by him.

i spent three months with justin, i finished recording my songs and it was time to go back home, before i went in the plane justin pulled me to the side and said “i couldn't have asked for anyone else to have spent the last three months with thank you for the support you have given me, and remember i will give you all the support in the world im going to miss you”. a tear fell down his cheek and one fell on mines too i hugged him, i didn't want to let him go. “thank you justin, i don't want to leave i just want to be with you but ill come back soon”.
i left the airport with tears but i thanked god for giving me a great opportunity and letting me meet justin. i got back home and ran straight to my room, i circled march first on my calendar and began the countdown for when i was going back to california. all i have to say is i'm very blessed, and from now on everyone knows me by Abigail Bieber.

Once upon a time there was a boy named Henry Moore, he was a crazy boy that lived in the city of New York in a small apartment. He was just a 12 year old boy that always enjoys his life playing outside all the time. His family was so poor that he couldn’t even eat three times a day, but even though he was poor he always was great at helping his parents the help that they needed. Based on what he was his friends were way different than him on the fact that he look or dress even his smell.

One day he went out in woods trying to look for something to eat for him also his family.

His love means to care about his family and then the outside people, but the only thing that bothers him the most was that he doesn’t like getting, “BULLY.” So the only thing that he can do was to ignore them all the time they meet in a small group. That was a hard time for him because he couldn’t have a normal life like the other people did. “Henry Moore!” said Samuel- one of his bully friends. “what are you doing for this night” he asked.” “Well I need to do my chores first in order for me to go have some free time, said Henry.” While they were talking, another one of Samuel’s friends called out loud “Henry you ugly, they treat you like you were child labor.” So as soons as Henry heard that from that friend he walked away.

When Henry came out of the Woods he had fished 3 fish and was heading to his apartment to start cooking his meal for the day. It was 6:30 pm when Henry finished his chores, but suddenly Henry saw Samuel heading towards his apartment willing to ask Henry if he can go to the park ‘cause he and his friends were having a party. Henry didn’t mind but he didn’t have any presents, but samuel said that “it  does not matter.” As he was getting toward the party he was happy because he didn’t got invited to a party before. Henry didn’t know what was the party for, but Samuel knew what was for. it was a curiosity moment for henry because he didn’t know what was coming for him.

“Now that we are here at the park Henry””i want you to show what you can do this moment." Said
Samuel. Henry was getting nervous as Samuel said that, but Henry ask him "what is this all about?" We'll as they were walking to the party both of them suddenly stop. "Why do we stop walking," said Henry. As Samuel turns to Henry, "I want you to know that my other friend was talking trash about you, on the way you stood up 2 hours ago" What did he said about me Samuel?" "All what he said was that.........you....are...to....afraid to fight". " you know what

It all started when my dad wanted to take me camping. I have never been camping before and it was my first time going camping. My brother went camping with me and my dad also. My mom stayed home with my little sister because she doesnt like to go camping. When we were done packing all of our stuff my dad that we should only take one phone in case of emergencies. When we got to the forest we setted up our tent and everything we packed. The first thing we did is go fishing. I had some trouble fishing. Its not easy as it looks. Its all about patients. You have to wait until theres a fish you hooked.When we were done fishing i cought two fishes. The next thing we did after fishing is deer hunting. My dad was the one carrying the sniper. He killed one. I said if i could try use the gun. He said that i can only use it once . I was aiming at a deer with the scope i was going to shoot but the deer saw me and ran away. After that we went bike riding on a mountain. We were all tired so we went to sleep. I couldn sleep so i woke up and went outside the tent to get some air. Then I heard a strange noise so I decided to see what it was. I saw a spaceship by the mountain. There were aliens. I didn't knew what they wanted. I wanted to take a closer look and see what they wanted or what were they doing. When I got to the mountain I saw that the aliens were putting a bunch of deers in there spaceship. I didn't know what to do either help the deers or tell my dad. I decided to try to help the Deers. I knew it was abad Idea but I couldn't let some deers die. When I tried to save the deers an alien saw me and knocked with  a sleeping gun and putted me in his spaceship. When I woke up I thought that everything was a dream but I woke up inside a spaceship and I saw the aliens driving the spaceship

Just do it is my motto.

It took me places that you might never see. That motto also got me in a lot of trouble. Motos like that will take you places beyond understanding. Birth of horses, sports,even fights. In this story, I still don’t completely know what happened but it did. One day I was doing my homework at the local dinner. It was a regular night so far.People come in with their laptops to get the free internet and some ordering food. I had my music in doing my homework and had salad on the side. It was just a normal night to me. After another salad and more fruit juice, some guys in black leather jackets came in and stopped at the door.It was one large guy and he had two shadows. They looked like they wanted some trouble so I didn’t pay them any attention. I looked up and I saw that they were heading my way. They stopped right in front of my table and didn’t say anything. They just stood there; towering over me.  “Can I help you?” I said as I took a sip of my fruit juice. They didn’t respond so I took that as my sign to leave. When I tried to get up, the leader pushed my shoulders down. “No, stay, I’ll leave,” He said as he gave me a look I couldn’t pick out. He slowly walked away and as soon as he sat down, I tried to get up. He saw me get up and he rushed my way. When he came back, he shoved me off the seat and I got up. “whats your problem?” I said as I stood up and shoved him back. I didn't noticed I had did that until I realized that his crew was rushing towards me. I reacted fast. I tackled one kid to the floor and wrestled him to the ground. I got a couple of hits in until I felt a kick of the other kid. He kicked me right in my gut. I couldn't sit their hurting because as soon as I looked up they’re both up ready to attack again. In my head i'm thinking  that they’re never going to stop. I started to panick. I tripped one kid and the other fell over him. They both got up as quickly as ever. The only thing I could do is run. I got to the closest door and ran my fastest. I didn't think about turning around. I just kept running. when I got to the first building, I hid behind it.  I peaked around the corner to see if they saw me run around the corner but I saw something I didn't think I would ever see. I rubbed my eyes to see if they were playing tricks on me. When I opened them the three thugs were laying on the ground and a figure was standing over them. The figure was wearing tights and a cape. I slowly moved closer to him to see what happened but he knew I was coming the whole time. “how are you?” he said as he slowly turned around. “I feel okay I guess.” He shook his head and gave me a mysterious look. I couldn't really tell what his face looked like because it was too dark. He stepped out of the dark and I saw a tall muscular male in a cape. He put his hands on his waist and looked at the sky. “If you ever need me you know I’m here,” and he disappeared into the darkness of the sky. Motto’s like that leads you to things like that. I never seen this mysterious figure again. There has been story’s of people getting beat up. They have all been thugs, gang bangers, robbers, and other criminals. Everytime I look back to that day, I think that, that person was some kind of hero or something. If I ever see this person again, I’ll have to many questions to ask him. No matter what the risk is.

In 2020 it was a disagreement about the color red between Russia, USA, and China. USA said we would not put up with all this drama. Russia said Ee stands for everyone dies. Then it was time for war the fun part. The war was going to be the last war all time in history because they was going to use nuclear warhead. Everyone prepare for flight. So they have to scout their troops out for war. On January 1st China write us a letter talk about. If will give 500 nuclear warheads they will stand down. USA said never in this world. China said it will be war right so they fire a missile. They try to send a missile to New York. The mission was not a success they was mad at USA because of their advance technology. They seen the missile from the start. Russia bomb china it was just super amazon. USA said everyone have to died. So they build a super atom bomb that will destroy the whole world. So it took them a long time make their project. When it was complete they said now its our time to go in life no more humans or man kind to form on Earth. Ever again into a god fix it. So they drop it in the ocean poison all the water. So they die that way. So that is funny story to tell someone. The USA had a spaceship build to make life on another planet that will take 15 years to get there. So they had planet called Earth X 123456789. It was mass was as big as the sun sun so we can have more people. Then we had on planet Earth. You know life just repeat it self all over and over because that how it was all made to be in life. So it called the circle of life that is the real name for it.

It all started out as a normal day. You know, the usual, wake up, get dressed, eat, go to school, eat again, take all day talking to your friends, and etc. etc.! Go to class, whatever!... Anyways, this “normal day”, wasn’t so “normal” anymore. True story…“Huaaah!” yawning, I awoken from a bad, kinda good, nights rest, and just laid there for a couple of minutes…(blink)...(blink)...(blink)...”huaah!”...(still laying down)...(30 minutes later)... “OH NO!” I screamed “I’M GOING TO BE LATE!” I had 15 minutes to get dressed. I zoomed to my dresser and just grabbed anything that came to sight. A light green shirt and yellow plaid shorts, I had on, and trust me, I knew that I looked like bozo the clown, but I continued with my normal, daily rutine.

A.N.

Middle of a stormy, cold, humid night. Everything was almost implausible. Everything was unpredicted, unprecedented, just- just… I couldn’t. I was speechless. I couldn’t save him no matter what I did, be it over and over and over again. It was always at 8:47 PM. Something would doom him at 8:47. No matter where it was. Be it the train station, the grocery store, our apartment, an alleyway, something would happen to him.  It started when we got our shipment: A toaster oven. Everything we put into it would just disappear. No trace whatsoever, give or take crumbs. And if that wasn’t suspicious enough, every time we’d put something that was previously connected to a sort of strand or attached to other fruits- say we put a banana in it- not only would it disappear, it would seemingly teleport back to the other fruits, connected and everything with no sign of detachment. Even freakier, it’d show up as a sort of gelatin. I have no clue what’s going on. What could be happening?  A few days later was a session. The subject being Inter-Spatial-Temporal Travel. The person who led the meeting was none other than Professor Lingowitz. He was infamous in the building for being a middle-aged, self-dependant, and selfish Son of the Devil. He explained using a large mass and atomic collisions’ miniature black holes. All of the topic just seemed wrong. What seemed wrong? Where are we supposed to fit the large mass? Where are we supposed to have atoms collide? How are we supposed to contain miniature black holes? How are we even supposed to see and gather miniature black holes? Clearly an insufficient hypothesis.  Sooner or later the session ended and we all headed to the lobby. I go down the stairs to find my dearest friend down there: Don Shaloff. He and I go back to age three. We ended up becoming more than brothers. We would always watch each other’s backs, hang out together, play the same games together, do experiments together, heck once we even shared a closet in our first year of college. Fortunately that mess was settled halfway through that year. I was tired of putting on clothing that was one size smaller than me and look absolutely trapped in cloth when I stumbled into class. However, everyone has a catch. Him: He is very much obsessed with the little toys you find in the little machines that you put a 10 pence in and turn the little knob-sort-of-thing and it pops out a little plastic bubble thing. He is most absolutely obsessed with this pig miniature figure thing. Almost as if you took a pig and rolled out its body onto a sphere with a flat bottom. He exclaimed so much how he has bought so many, but he has not found a single... “special-edition figure”. I decided to show him that life just does not give you great luck such as that. So what ended up happening was I put in a 10 pence and what happened? At the time I thought that I only got a plastic toy. What really happened is that Don just suddenly flipped out, almost as if Sherlock found the answer to how all fictitious belief and untrustworthiness happened. What I apparently found was the ticket to a better life: Have an apartment with an actually decorative main room, as opposed to just a wooden floor, a small CRT TV, a couch and coffee table and a PC in the corner.

Brinn/1

Today was a slow day, it seemed that everything moved as if there was all the time in the world. Frankly I didn't mind because on days like this everything seems simpler. Classed ended early today so I’d decided to go down to “Sweet Nothings”; a small bookstore nestled between two buildings in the city. As i walked inside my nose was filled with the sweet smell of vanilla and old books. It always smelled the same and I wasn't complaining. I grabbed a book from the counter and sat in the back corner to read. I put on my head phones, turned on my music and began reading. I woke up to someone kicking the bottom of my foot. “Yes?”I looked up at the person, “Is there something you need?” He nodded, “Um, the store is about to close and it's stormy outside. Do you need a ride home?” I shook my head as I studied his face. His eyes were a bright blue that doesn't really make a big deal of itself, his hair was a dark blonde and looked incredibly soft, he was just absolutely gorgeous. “Are you sure you don't need a ride?” I thought about it for a while then I finally answered, “Yes actually I’ll take you up on that.” I stood up and offered my hand, “but first, what's your name?” He looked at my hand then looked at me, “Luke,” he said as he took my hand in his gently, “I’m Luke,” a smile crept up on his lips, causing his eyes to sparkle. I shook his hand and smiled back, “Brinn, I’m Brinn.”

Luke/1

She was beyond beautiful. The way her dark brown hair flowed past her shoulders, those full lips. I wondered what color her eyes were. I couldn't tell because she was asleep with her headphones in and a book in her hand. Maybe I should wake her considering the store was about to close and since it was stormy she might possibly need a ride home. I kicked the bottom of her foot hoping that would wake her. Her eyes opened, revealing some beautiful, like herself, brown eyes. “Yes?” She questions looking up at me. “Is there something you need?” I nod my head because apparently forgot how to talk. “Um, the store is about to close and it's stormy outside. Do you need a ride home?” I ask hoping she did not notice the nervousness in my voice. She shook her head, making me feel disappointed that i wouldn't get to see or talk to her more. It was silent until i spoke up, “Are you sure you don't need a ride?” It seemed as if she was rethinking my offer. “Yes, actually I’ll take you up on that.” She stood up and offered me her hand. “But first, what's your name?” I looked at her hand then up at her, “Luke,” I said taking her hand, “I’m Luke.” A smile crept on my face. She shook my hand and smiled, “Brinn, I’m Brinn.” We got into my car and she instantly reached towards the radio. She went through the stations until she gasped and started singing. It became hard for me to concentrate while hearing her beautiful voice sing. She gave me directions to her house. “Thank you Luke. I appreciate the ride,” she said. She started stepping out the car, its now or never, “Um, would you possibly want to, maybe, hang out sometime?” I studied her face as she thought about my offer, again. “Yeah, I’d like that,” she said. “Does tomorrow at 7 sound good?” “Yeah, I’ll see you then. Bye Luke.” She waved and shut the car door. I watched her until she walked into her house and I drove off. As I drove home all I could think about was Brinn. In just the little time I knew her, I felt something, not love, but something.

THE FIGHTING IRISH

Once there was a man named Finland who lived in Ireland all the people loved Finland instead of his brother Lance he hated his brother, why does he hate his because Lance  never was popular like Finland when they were always fighting until now.

Universal Hollywood

It was early morning, my family and I were excited to go to Universal Hollywood and have a good time. I didn’t know what to expect for when we would get there, I didn’t know what I was going to see or what it would look like. For me it was like one of those suspense movies because I didn’t know what was going to happen on our way there and when we would arrive. The line for parking was long but at the same time it wasn’t, I don’t know how to explain it, but as I was saying... we FINALLY went  in. It was HUGE, there was this big metal ball like in the entrance that’s said “Universal Hollywood”, I thought it was pretty cool. We got our bracelets and we just walked then I saw these three statues in the middle, so I decide to take a picture, just for memory sake, then I decided to take another. I looked at the both pictures to see which one was better and what not, but I noticed something weird... one of the statues was not in the same pose it was at first. I thought to myself “What? That’s weird, maybe it was just the angle I took the second picture that made it look weird...” it wasn’t the angle, one of the three statues was a REAL person, and it will do a different pose each time. It would be standing in a ladder or just standing in the floor, I was like, “How can he do that all day?” After this we just walked around to see what we saw. My cousin Erika and I, noticed these actors up in this building (we didn’t know who they were) Erika and I, both thought the young boy was pretty cute. I know I know, he must be like 10 years older than me but it was the truth. Erika and I just kept walking, I was getting tired plus it was hot too! I couldn’t take the heat but I knew there were more hours ahead of us until we would leave and go home, so I just decided to suck it up. The person that I saw next just left me mouth opened. It. Was. Marilyn Monroe. I saw  her and I just stood there, like a statue. All I kept saying was “OMG.OMG.” Her hair, her style and her makeup was just perfect. I didn’t know what to do. So my mom said, “Ve!””Go!” But I was too shy so I asked Erika to go with me. We went, but every time I would get closer and closer I would get nervous. I decided to just go and stop being a ‘scary cat’ I went and met her, she was really nice and I guess she liked me too... not in that way though that would be weird. She was also telling me about her career as an actress, how her life has been since she became a famous/important person. We hanged out and talked how she wanted to be an actress when she was little and on she would play a role in a play at school or at home, I found it kind of weird just talking to her, I don’t know but yeah.. We just took one picture, just one. It would’ve been better if I had token many more but sadly it wasn’t that way. For me it was a perfect day, I got to go on rides, even though it took a while to actually get on the ride. My family and I had met many more actors, characters from cartoons/movies: The Minions, Shrek, Fiona, The Donkey from Shrek the Movie, this other dude but I don’t know his name, one of the Transformers and Scooby-Doo but my favorite one was Marilyn.  She is just very pretty, I wish I had her face. Is that weird? Is it? I can’t tell. I hope one day I will get the chance to go back and see if I get the chance to meet her again or if I meet other people.

Jacob And Singing Larry

Once upon a time there lived a boy named Jacob who had a pet fish named Larry. The funny part about Larry is that he can talk, but Jacob doesn’t know Larry can talk. So one day Jacob went to the store and Larry was home all alone in his tank, Larry loved to sing. Larry waited until everyone was out the house, so he can sing his heart out. When Larry heard the door shut he started to sing his favorite song by Bob Moon , he was bob moons #1 fan. While he was singing he didn’t noticed that Jacob had walked in the house. Jacob was scared for his life because he heard Larry singing, but he thought it was someone else, coming from upstairs. Jacob grabbed the first thing that was in sight which was a bat. He walked slowly upstairs he heard the noise coming from his room. Making no sound at all, he quietly opened the door, glanced inside and had seen no one in sight. But he still heard the singing coming from Larry's tank, he thought he was going crazy for a second. But he gasped and Larry's hurried up and turned around scared as ever. They started too have a conversation about why Larry never said anything to Jacob about how he can sing and talk. So the conversation went on for a good 15 – 20 minutes, and Jacob asked “ why did you keep this a secret” Larry said “ because you would've been so shocked you told your parents, and your parents would call the animal control, and some how scientists would find out and they would experiment on me, and I wouldn’t see you ever again”. Jacob said “ I Would never do that to you you’re my best friend”. And they lived happily ever after well not happily because jacob’s parents hear jacob and larry talking and walks in them, but if you wanna know what happens next you have to read part 2 to find out.

The Curse

Carolina (P.O.V)

The last thing I remember was people screaming, smoke everywhere, police sirens and firefighters. I woke up sweating and scared. My dream was about something that happen seven years ago. Every night for the past few days I have had the same nightmare. I don’t know why? In my dream I see a girl like me, but she has a necklace with a red stone and she is standing across the street where it all happened.I know its not me because I was in the house when it got on fire. I got up and started to get ready. I had to go to my classes, I don't like going anywhere because the kids look at me weird I rather stay here all day.I don't talk to them and they make fun of me. I burned my leg that day, now I have a big scar on my left leg.In two days its going to be another year, I miss my parents, I wish I could go back in time and see what caused the fire. People have told me that i'm very lucky because I could've been dead too. I wish they had left me in the house to die. If you think about, its so strange how I survived. As I finish getting ready. I notice I was crying, just thinking about it. I walk out of my room and headed to class. Today was the same as the other days, no one wants to talk to me, they make fun me. I went to my room  and started to read. While I was reading I got this huge headache I thought it was normal but it happened five more times. I ignore the headache and started to work on my homework I realised that it was late so I went to sleep.

Victoria(P.O.V)

I woke up at 6:00 am way too early, the reason was because this the dream that I've been having. Its strange because in the dream there's a house burning and I see a girl that looks like me. But something I see is she has a blue stone and I have a red round stone. I decided to get up and do some research on the stone because it was strange. As I was researching I ask my self in my head if I had a twin. It couldn't be possible, how come I didn't knew? Something i know is that i’m adopted, I don’t know anything about my real parents. My “parents” never talk about them and I have never ask. Then I started to research about twins telapy. I kept searching until I found this website, it talked about twins being separated, having a stone and something bad happening to them. It was like a curse they will get, because they got seperated . as i kept scrolling down the website I found more information about the stone I have. Can it be possible to be the same? The website said that the twins have to connect the stones before something bad happens. I wonder and wonder what could happen if the stones don't get connected. Later that day during dinner I brought up the topic of my real parents and what had happen to them. My parents seem kind of strange because I was asking, but they still told. “Well honey all we know is that you were born in California and...” she stayed quiet for some seconds but then she continue. ”and your parents died in an accident. There house got on fire.” As my mom said that it all kind of made sense, but at the same time it didn’t. How could I have dreams like that if I wasn’t there. I excuse myself and went to my room I thought about and I think it all made sense now. I decided to go to sleep and keep researching tomorrow as I was falling asleep I got this huge headache. I ignore it and went to sleep.

No ones P.O.V

During the night the stones started to glow and the curse was on. The next day Victoria had to be taken to the hospital because she had an asthma attack.

Victoria P.O.V

I woke up feeling out of breath. I try to get up and get my inhalor, but I couldn’t find it because I really dint needed it. As I felt worse I started to scream and my parents came to my room running as  my parents got here I saw my eyelids shutting.

Carolina P.O.V

My alarm went off, I had to get up and get ready I got this headache and I was felling light headed. Out of no where I just fell into the floor.

No ones P.O.V

Victoria was taken to the hospital and was really bad.Carolina was found lying in the floor and they put her in her bed while they called the doctor. While both were conseus the bodys switch. The curse was on.

!DANGER!

Once upon a time, there were three friends in danger. They got out of school and suddenly it started to rain. They were walking home and they didn’t make it, so they decided to go into a cave they knew about. The rain didn’t stop. The three friends stayed in there the whole afternoon. Their parents had called 9-1-1 for missing children. The friends decided to walk back. They went the wrong way and got lost. They were walking farther apart their homes. They see a lake and agreed to stay right next to it because it had water even though it was full of of germs. It was morning and they didn’t sleep all night. They were tired and hungry. So they decide to eat some corn that was in a plant. They didn’t know what to do. The three friends just sat there thinking about how worried their parents would be about them. They decide to make a fire.

At 1pm they were sitting and relaxing right next to the fire, and suddenly they hear a “Roar”. They get up, see a bear, and start running away. They see a house that was built on a tree. They climb it and they wait until the bear leaves. They try to find their way back but they can’t. They see a gun that was on the floor, they pick it up and it had some bullets.They kept it for safety.They go to where the lake was at. They get hungry and they eat some corn and then they see a plane flying over them. They wave, but nothing. After that the 3 friends try again to find their way back. They shoot the gun so someone could hear. They keep walking and they hear a loud buzz. Then they hear footsteps running. It was the cops that came to rescue them. So they go back home, tired, and hungry. The nightmare has ended.The boys learned their lesson, which was to go home right away.

hey my name is arkus. this is the day i die,no this story will not be short.well, maybe it might, i am falling from Olympus on fire at 200 m/s .it all sta1184 b.c, the Trojan war.i was the general of a demigod army.we where taking a shortcut Through Scylla,but then our ship drifted off course, basically our ship froze. i think it was Boreas but I'm not sure.but i did date one of his daughters...actually both of them.so he probably did it for revenge,well there is no time for that story.anyway i was stuck frozen with 500 demigods on our trireme, that became an ice burg.we where frozen for about3,198years.yeah 3,198 years. i have no idea how we survived. probably because of our demigod blood. anyway this guy rapsul(short for Raphael Sullivan, also soon to be the best friend i have) climbs ice burgs for fun. so he climbed our ice burg. he fell in a hole that was topped off in thin ice so he didn't see it. so he fell in and saw our ship. the dumbass tried to climb onto the ship.big mistake.he accidentally set off one of the anti-boarding traps. the explosion from the Greek fire melted the iceberg.so now the ship was free, so slowly but surely the ship thawed out.of course i unfroze first. i looked around and saw rapsul.he looked at me with a dumbfounded expression,then he stammered in some strange language.luckily i had the gift of  tongues. so i kept repeating my warning in multiple languages,until he heard me.he stammered again, ''wh-who are you?'' he said.i said ''i am arkus son of Zeus,mighty general of the demigod army! i said  who are you?.he says uh I'm rapsul. i say what are you doing on my ship!?''!. he tells me what happened. i remember the war that was supposed to be happening. so i ask him quickly who won the war.he asks which one.i say the Trojan war. he tells me the Greeks won.so i rejoice and start awakening my comrades. a thought suddenly hits me. i ask him for the year. he says its 2014. i say nob it is not its 1181. he says no and shows me some strange rectangular black thing,( a cell phone i later learn) and shows me the date. i realize that what he says is true.(thinkihg in my head) oh  crap!! what am i going to do?......

BBBRRRIIINNNGGG!!!!!

Thank God, I thought as the bell released me from my hellhole, aka : school. I practically ran out the double doors and into the lot where my mom was supposed to be waiting for me. I scanned the lot, looking for her black range rover, but I couldn’t find it. My phone started ringing , and I fished it out of my backpack seeing it was my mom .

Hello?”

“Sweetie, I’m at the spa , and I’m not going to be able to pick you up from school, so you're going to walk home okay? love you, bye."

Our conversations like that most of the time; short and sweet. My and my mom ever really get to spend anytime together, seeing she's a travel agent.  I knew this was going to happen but I was hoping  I wouldn't have to walk home, Because I forgot my umbrella and the sky looked like it it was rain and flood the town.

"Oh well, " muttered .i put my headphones in my ear ,stuffed my hands in my pocket and started my walk home

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I was almost home , when I had that weird feeling that I was being followed. I lowered the volume on my iPod to see if I heard a car , and I heard nothing. "I must be crazy," I thought , and kept on walking. I was listening to masquerade by robo-soul, probably because I wanted to freak my self out even more than I was . "Hiding, behind a disguise, can you feel me watching you?" The lyrics rang in my ears. I pulled my ear phones out of my ears , and heard a car behind me. "Wth" I thought, "didn't I just check to hear anyt

Im a three year old ,red-nosed,brown and white spotted pitbull. I love the day when all the stars are on the houses and lit up.When my owner took me off on a walk, that night I could clearly see all the stars.

We were about halfway down the street when around ten  pm my spotted pit bull was running loose down the middle of the street.We just got him and i've never experienced my dog gone before.so right when he squeezed his big head out of his collar,which realy was’nt a struggle,I threw my bike down and started running after him like I was the one being chased. I was worried. All I could think about was what would happen to him.while  was running all I could really think about was sensei getting ran over , or him not coming back home. After a second I decided to stop to head back home he stopped. He stopped at a house at the end of the street.

My owner kept pulling my head , then out of nowhere I was out of my neck collar.I thought since I was free i’ll go look at the stars.So I ran as fast as I could while my owner was following me.When I got to the house with the stars on them I turned back to see if my owner was coming but instead she stopped  I the middle of the street and stared at me.

When sensei stopped he looked back at me almost like he was inviting me to go look at the lights.After a second he had turned back around he started running back to me . All of this was happening while I was balling my eyes out thinking I was going to lose him forever.

I thought my owner was coming but instead I ran back to her.I ran back and we went back home.It was nice seeing all of the star’s that night even though my owner and I couldn't see them together.

Tolber the cat

They say never judge a book by its cover, that still happens though. Society is like thorns to your soul that tears you down inside and out. Nothing you do can keep blood from draining. Thats how I feel being a cat, we do not get any respect at all from children nor adults. Just old women that can barely walk most of the time. What's so special about cats anyways? We don't take baths because water is our worst enemy, we make this ugly pur sound and shed too much hair. i for one am not a cat; physically I am, but mentally I'm not.

I want to walk around with the big boys, the cool boys. The dogs; best creatures alive in my opinion. The way they bark, eat, sleep, walk its all just perfect. Anyways, I heard about a “dfl” organization lost a couple of members, and was looking for new scaremens. “Scaremens”, is what they call their boy dogs who scare away the cats for no reason. It”s fun just watching them run away with fear in their eyes too. The next day I went to the Dfl tryouts, it was about 9:15 in the morning . Once I walked, in and the room went silent. I didn't pay any mind to them though. Most of them just looked at me with disgust and the others started to growl; like I was suppose to get scared. I just strutted my stuff and pranced near a corner close by.

In the next five or seven minutes, Brucer ran into the room. Brucer is the bravest dog in the Dfl and he”s very mean. He’s a brown rottweiler, he doesn't scare me at all. “Whats going on?” he asked with confusion. As his eyes scanned the place, you could see the amazement in his face. He walked toward me, my adrenaline went up and my heart began racing. “You there, you cat! What in the world are you doing here?!” he said giggling slightfully. I begin to talk when the laughter died down, “I’m here for tryouts”. I said with confidence. His face dropped , “tryouts? tryouts you say, impossible you are a cat and cats are afraid of everything”. "Not me, just give me a chance to show you please!” I yelled with strain in my voice. Mini conversations started to  the room immediately. “SILENCE! If the cat really wants to be an official dfl member, he must battle me in a challenge of my choice." You could feel all of the gasps within the room, I didn't know what to do. I could barely feel my fur; that's how excited I was. I rushed home to tell my mom the intense news. Once I told her she a disturbed look on her face. She tried to convince me to "chicken out" of the battle by saying things like, "he's the bravest dog. He's mean, he'll probably hurt you!" I ran into my room and thought long and hard about my decision. The next morning I got up, sprinted out of the house, and went straight to the dfl cabin. Every dog was lined up waiting for the event to start.

The assistant dog showered me to my dressing room. "Right this way sir, don't get hurt out there," she chuckled. After I got ready, I followed the path to go out to the field, I could tell my life was about to change. The bell rung for us to start. Brucer walked toward me viciously, I didn't back up or run; instead, I walked toward him. I had a furious look on my face, I noticed that he got intimidated quickly then took off running. The crowd started to gasp, all you heard were various whispers from the dogs. I walked to Brucer very slowly. "PLEASE, no leave me alone! I see you are like no other cat. You have won, and are an official member of Dogs for life!" he screamed. The biggest, brightest grin appeared upon my face. "I, Tolber the cat am the first cat to actually be in an all fog club!"

Im going to write about my classes. and how each of them get on mynerves.I go to first period it all good but every day the monster math teacher makes us do theses stupid multiplication charts and they seem really stupid to me but his class is pretty easy he doesn’t give that much of hard work but he does some time.Then we come to second period where everything is fun but when the alien teacher tells us to get in are groups it get real boring because one of my partners thats a rat thinks she can just tell us what to do and she thinks she can add things to are projects without even asking us.Then we come to third period  where my giant teacher makes us write in are journal for 15 minutes but the class is pretty fun but i always get sent out out so it starts to get boring to me.Then we come to fourth period were my monkey teacher always want’s to send me to the back of the classroom as soon as i walk in for no reason so i get mad and sometimes i just walk out the classroom and she always be saying “If you don't start no stuff there won't be no stuff but she the one that always starts stuff so whats the whole point of you saying it . Then we come to fifth period where my dragon teacher is. Its all good until the end where he always have to say did you know and all that kind of stuff is that. Then we come to sixth period where my lego teacher is. Everything is all good except how theres one student that thinks he’s smarter than everyone else. Then we go to seventh period were my teacher made out of clay is. Everything is but she always have to make us sit quietly for 5 minutes for no reason like are we little kids to you or something but all in all  my classes are pretty good

The leader ordered them to run until they vomited. The next day they did some training and were hit by rubber bullets so they don’t get killed. Thats when they realized it wasn’t a prank, but kyle thought it still was a prank. After one month passed they went to war. Kyle thought it was fake so he stood up and got shot in his leg.

kidnapped

There she was wandering through the woods that her parents told her not to go. She never listened or followed her parents rules, she would always do whatever she wanted. Before she had left the house she got into a big argument with her parents about her behavior and the trust they have on her, she had gotten mad so she left the house. Like always she would go to the woods, as she was walking she would hear strange noises behind her; noises like sticks getting stepped on, heavy breathing and bushes shaking by itself . Jessica was those type of girls that is brave and would stand up to herself. She minded her own business and kept on walking, a few minutes later a big old fat man jumped out of  no where, put her in a big bag and kidnapped her! For the first time Jessica was afraid and worried, she was regretting everything that happened between her and her parents because she thought she wouldn't see them again. The guy finally stopped from walking about 15 minutes, all Jessica could hear was screaming and yelling she couldn't see nothing yet so she thought of the worst things she could have been at, the guy sat her down and took the bag off of her. She was so confused, and her face expression was like a lost puppy has when its all alone and doesn't know what to do or where it is. Which was almost the same situation Jessica had, she had ask the old fat man all these questions, “Where are we?” she said. The old man said “Welcome to Hogwarts Jessica, where all young wizards from all around the world come together and go to school here. We chosed you well because you are one of those wizards and you have something special that one else here has...bravery.” Jessica started laughing and the old man just looked at her like if she was crazy, “but i'm no wizard, i'm just a normal girl who lives with her normal parents, but i guess i am brave” the old man explained everything to Jessica, where she came from, who her actual parents were and how he knows everything about her. He was actually her birthparents guard, when she was just a baby her parents were in battle with an evil witch, sadly they both died and leaving behind a beautiful baby. It was the guardians job to take her to the real world and give her away to a good family.He chosed the “Johnsons” family, he had left her in their door step.   Once Jessica understood everything the guard told her everything weird that was happening to her finally was coming into place, whenever she would wake up she would have visions and later on the day it would actually happen, also when she sneezes everything around her disappears but a minute later everything would appear again. When she understood what she really was her training has started, she went to that school for 4 years she became the bestest wizard of all Hogwarts, in the real world time was slow so when she came back to her parents it was only 20 minutes later from the last time she was there. She ran to her house hugged her parents and apologized to them for her bad behavior, they forgave her.

Royal Crowns.

As Carlos stared down into his phone with surprise looking at the graffiti his “carnal” made, the graffiti said “Royal Crowns”, he had tagged all of the homies that were in it with Carlos. They thought it was pretty gangster, until the next day. The principles were suspicious of all of us because of the colors we wore. They had seen all of us wearing the same color together the same day, and so they had the suspicion of a gang being involved. We all denied it, so they told us we couldn’t wear all black, especially on the same day as the others. The school cop looked us all up on our FaceBook where the “carnal” posted the pic and tagged all of us. He printed all of the pictures and images of all of the suspicious photos that looked gang related. They called us down to the main office and all of them were there waiting for us

His grades went down, he was not a good student any more. John skipped school and just chill with his friends. John wasn’t my brother any more he was a stranger,But that was going to change it was going to change either for the better or for the worse. That party changed everything. The first time he didn't wanted to go to a party. They made him go.  He went to the party thinking he was going to have a good time.  The next morning everyone was looking for him. My tia sayin “ Donde esta mi hijo”. Everyone sayin “ Maybe his with his cousin maybe his at his tia’s house. Everyone was wating for him thinking he was going to be back soon. It was five pm and there was no sign of him, 30 minutes after one of his friends went to my cousins house. He was asking for john’s mom sayin “ I have bad news for john’s family”. John’s mom thinking he was dead , because of the way john’s friend was acting. My tia asking “Que le paso a mi hijo? Donde esta? thinking what happened to John? Is  he okay?.

once upon a time there as a great big hidden land in the bermuda triangle. but this land does not have  humans it is  a land for giants. not just any giants i'm talking 15ft one eyed sloppy huge giants. this island is only for giants and thats because it all started with two giant creatures and they just started mating and before you know it it is thousands of them. this land is a island and it has huge 20ft barbed wire gates surrounding it because no one wants to get out and you definitely don't want to get in. there was also a huge ocean and it made the appearance even more terrifying. there is tipis that the giants sleep in. they are made of sticks mud and stone. every once in a while there is these storms. the island did not really care about the storms. until this day when everyone woke up the sky was as black as ink. everyone waited and three hours later crash it seemed as if the sky had shattered.
the sky was filled with electric scare the baby giants crying the mother giants praying and the dad giants trying to protect but they were helpless they were living off of hope at this moment. the water that was in the ocean grew inch by inch as it took up the shore boom it crashes into a house and after that it was terror. the water drowning and destroying homes by the hundred. it seemed as if the storm was never going to end for the ones who could not  swim. this three hour storm swiped out so many of the giants it was breath taking. after the storm it left rain and humid air thick as corn syrup. the giants were fighting for every sip of breath. when the storm was over all you could see was piles of lifeless homes and giants. it was too much for the human eye it was so horrible it was toxic for the brain. the couple that giants were left were crying and scared just to think that they lost all of the hidden treasures but they did and they never recovered there treasures from the mysterious  land of the loss. G.Y.

There she stood,frozen.Watching as he smiled and took her hand,he smiled.She broke,wanting to run and hide.She stood there watching as he walked with another girl.Like her life wasn’t already sad.Her brother is miles and miles away.He was her only escape from life.Yet miles and miles ,and steel bars separated her away from him.Anytime she can see him hours pass like seconds.She sees him face, but has forgotten his voice.She can’t stand the fact his voice,is and was her only rescue.How she doesn’t even remember his voice, his peaceful words that could calm her in seconds.Those words that could take her from panicking to serene.yet thats what bothers her most,it’s not what she can always think about. Her home. Her dreams. Her memories.They're all disappearing into another person’s hands.Their future is uncertain and thats what bothers her most.She wants to be able to pass all those storys down.In the blink of an eye there all going to disappear into an uncertian and close future.What she thinks she can do about itshe keeps to her self.what they tell her to do, is to her ruthless. “Don’t worry” They say.” It’s not your problem.” Their my dreams.My hopes.My future.How can I not worry,and just when everything is getting better.Just as she thinks the medication is helping,it is really.Honesty it’s just getting there.Her life is a mess yet she there for everyone else.She the one that helps them put down the razors,blades,the pills.Yet she herself can’t help it.There she sits with a smile on her lips and hundreds of scars on her hips.In her head she imagines a world of magic, but she lives in a world that is just tragic.She tries to smile,laugh,show her life is all good.When deep inside she wishes someone would care enough to just look past that mask.Break her walls and take her away.Show her that life is worth the breathing.The soul meaning of life,but knowing that shes all alone.There to stand alone.She gets used to the feeling.So shejust gets accostumed.Then one day she realised.She is happy in the shadows in the darkness.Alone.she sees that the less she has contact with people,the more she doesn’t get hurt.She realized one day that happiness doesn't exist,and if it does it was never something she never had,or felt.

Her name was Khole, she was a boring 9th grader who didn’t really have any friends. She was a boring human being that didn’t have anything special about her. She was the usual brown eyed, dark haired girl with acne and no sense of style what so ever. But all that changed when she went to eat lunch.

She grabbed a plate of mini corn dogs, fruit and a milk. She started to walk to the 9th grade hallway to eat her lunch in Mrs. Carpenter's classroom. She ate a corn dog whole and one of her friends came and made her laugh. Khloe stopped in her tracks and started to cough, she took a few steps and started choking. She fell to her knees gasping for air as her friends came to her side.

Khloe woke in a hospital bed, trying to remember what happened and how she got there as the nurse walked in. In her hand was a glass of water. Khloe grabs the water and instantly it breaks in her hand. Amazed, both Khloe and the nurse made eye contact and Khloe tried to get up. When she tried to get up she breaks the side of the hospital bed and passes out on the floor.

Khloe awoke in a room with the doctor looking at her test results. The doctor told Khloe her blood was not normal and neither human, so he wanted to run some tests.

Little did she know she know she had every scientist waiting outside her door.

how did i get here? this place doesn't look like an ordinary place! this looks like a dream. I see weird animals, they don’t look like the animals that live in my world? all i see is wilderness nothing ordinary, i must be lost? but….how?. as i walked further down into the forest,i asked myself questions, but those questions i couldn't answer myself. i had trouble remembering what i did before i got here,all i remember is that i fell asleep, so this must be a dream i told myself this couldn’t be a dream, because i could feel the air blowing into my face smoothly, hearing the birds like if they were near by, feeling the grass, this can't be a dream!. i followed back the path where i came from...but there was nothing there!. I panicked, my heart beating fast, lots of stuff were going through my mind, my eyes were getting watery, my throat started swelling. but right before one tear slowly fell on my cheek smoothly, knowing that i might not be able to go back home and see my family again, a tiger got near me i thought “yup im dead,” im gonna get eaten by a tiger, but as soon as i made a move… the tiger started to talk and said “hi, how are you?” he said in a polite way, i freaked out! i have never heard a animal talk in my whole life, as i responded back saying h..e..ll..o, im im fine” i said as he was talking i was seeing how he moves he moves sarcastically, he says his words like a real person was controlling him. All this was bazar !. when he stopped talking he stared at me, he told me “you have the same hair like her , wavy light brown, looks smooth just like the sand in the beach just like her. Your eyes are just like her too just like the ocean waves they make me feel like if im in the ocean.” When he was done talking i immediately asked him “who? who do i look like again?”when i was done asking him the questions he ignored me and told me to follow him and so i did. when he stopped walking we stopped in front HUGE tree!i asked him “what are we doing here?’ he answered back saying “ this is where i wanted to bring you” i looked at him strange, he screamed softly “come out you guys” i looked around kinda scared, the bushes started moving, the tree branches moved also, then came out a snow fluffy bunny, then out came a puppy with blue marble eyes and with big black spots, then came out a horse… but it wasn't no ordinary horse.. it was a unicorn, then came a small mouse, three little girls that looked the same, same hair, eyes,nose, lips, cheeks, skin color, they were identical triplets, but the the only difference was their attitude, the first one to the left was kind the second one to the left was the mean one and last but not least the last one was weird she wasn't nice nor mean. when they all came out I was shocked, my body froze i didn't say anything because i thought they where gonna strangle me but before i even said anything they welcomed me, they said hi to me, I had to say something so i said hello back i didn't want to be rude. they looked at me strange like if they have seen me before, they told themselves “thats her”,I didn't know what to do I didn't know what they whee talking about so I went have ad and told them "who are y'all talking about?" They all responded back at the same time saying "your mom" I could believe it my didn't my mom ever told me about this ?? The tiger went ahead and told me the story when she was here he told me that she was the one who made this land and the one who created the animals, they also told me that she wanted me to come her,  I realized that she wants me to be like her, she wants me to be part of this land too,  just like she was. The animals send me back to where I came from to go back home. I said bye to all my new friends it was hard even thought I just met them but it was time to go, when I got home I went running to my mom and told her the whole story, she believed me because she created that land she was glad that I was part of that land. Thanks mom.

I told him to put it back but he didn't listen. A few years ago me and my cousin Junior where at the store it was just me and him. Junior needed new clothes so he told me to go with him. When me and Junior where walking looking for the clothes section we passed by many things that we really liked and wanted to buy. Junior told me that if he was rich he would have bought the whole entire store. I was just wondering to myself that out of all of the things in the world he wants to buy a store. I didnt want to say nothing to him so i just told him that it was a good idea. Me and Junior kept looking for the clothes section the store was enormous so it was kind of hard to find it. When we were walking through the store my cousin Junior saw the video game section i new that was bad news because Junior loves video games and he is a “game freak” he would go 5 hours without eating, drinking, and going to the restroom just to pass a level he would stay stuck on. Junior calls me and says “hey look at what if found“ he showed me a video game box that was half open with the game still inside he wanted to take it. I looked at Junior and i told him “put it back!!“ i knew that if someone passed by and saw him with a half open video game box they would think that me and him are trying to steal it and sure enough i was right the security guy was walking by and he saw my cousin with the box still in his hand right after i told him to put it back. The security guy asked us “what are you to doing” i told him “its not what you think it is” but what else was he going to think he sees a person with a half open video game box in their hand of course he is going to think that we are trying to steal it. The security guy looked at us and told us to not move and he was going to look for our mom i knew he was not going to find her because she was not their with us i told him "good luck finding her". The moment he left i turned around and looked at my cousin with a furious face i wanted to leave him there and let him take all the blame but i wasn't going to do that because thats how nice of a cousin i am. I told my cousin that we had to make a run for it so we ran as fast as we could it felt like i was in the movie indiana jones and the gigantic boulder from the movie was right behind us and me and Junior are trying to get to the exit. We got to the exit i could see cousin shaking in fear because i know he really didn't want to get in trouble he was lucky i didn't leave him. After that day my cousin never went back to that store ever again he thought he was some type of fugitive and the cops were looking for him even to this day he thinks the moment he steps inside the store he thinks he is going to get arrested. If only he put it back

Once upon a  time, there was a beast that had horrifying claws and scales all over, but this thing wasn't from this world. The beast was magical too it could transform into anything to fool you and make you into one of its victims. They thought it came from the underworld a to make our lives into a nightmare, but no one really knows where it came from. Many tried to kill the beast but too many failed and die.
As I woke up I was looking for my sword in in the pitch black night with the moonlight helping me, I still couldn't believe the beast speared my life or is it just taunting me to make me into his meal. I walked myself into the forest to make camp, as I walked I felt  the pain in my legs and wounds, bites and burns that the beast gave me in the battle and felt the cold dry blood in face. I lost painfully and let down my people, my people that helped me and supported me, I let down my people , they only wanted freedom from the horrors and killings that the beast makes when going through his path of destruction.

Who soon became the best known tag of all time. Match after match we won nobody  could beat us. That one and fateful day we came across a challenge like no other. Wrestlemania against  the best of all time edge & christian and the hardy boys in a all out six man  tlc tables ladders and chairs.

Blood was all you could see stained all on the mat. The crushing of bones was all that you could hear. As  I looked up there was the tag team championships  were hanging about 20 maybe 50 feet in the air. The crowd was cheering so loud that it made it hard to hear yo self think .

BALL OF PAINT

I am the cender block.I am the control panel. I am the brains.We had to were long clothes so we didn’t get paint on us.We went to jordans house at twelve oclock. We were very exited because we had never been paint balling.

It was me,breon,jordan,teurell and ureall.Teurell was our friend and ureall was his brother.Thee was also jordans mom,dad and his 4 cousins. The drive was a regular time 20 minutes to be exact.When we got there some people walked in with gear and guns,they looked good.

It was exiting  you could see all the tanks and guns and there enen dogs.After his perents payed for 3 hours we went through a door where there were behind a conter with a wall of guns , masks and tanks. They gavce each of us a helmet, gun, and mask.then we got a totoriol on how to use the gun and tank.he saaid if you filled uf the tank to much it will explode.

Then we wnt to a huge picnic table where there was cake and food and we had to put paint balls in our guns and put our gear on.the arena was seperated into three sections ,the fisrt was huge inflatable walls that were atached to  the ground.t he second had big cement walls and cement sideways tubes.

The third was sectioned off by a huge net. It was a 2 story castle that had windows and stairs and one huge room in the middlethe first time we went against people who looked like they knew what they were doing.we got in position,chris jordans step dad split us up into three groups to get all three parts of the castle.It was really fun and the first time I got hit I didn’t get out because it was fun and the guy hit me in the mask then I couldent see.

We lost because they were really good. The first time I got hit it hurt the second time we played the played at the inflateable tubes.It was just us and I was on Chris's teamI was happy because he was good.that as the first time I shot someone.after we won we went back to the picnic table and ate,we waited for other people to go play and we saw this kid who was about  8 and he had a camp suit ,backpack and camo gun you couldent see the tank.

His dad was,with him and his uncle and they were wearing camo to.we cleaned our guns because some of the paintballs busted in the tank and we refilled and closed the lid because if we didn't they would spill out and the reff would make you get out
Next we were going to play in the castle there was a front and a back

Me and my buddy
1  Once Apon a time a big brown ball came flying down from the sky. I  thought it could be my best friend so I took it with me every were I go. Then i went to go get something to eat, we went walking to Mc donalds and I live far from Mcdonalds I had to push the wagon. We spent probably two to three weeks with each other. One day I thought to myself it probably be worth some dinero. I called NASA to see if they can check something for me they said sure come on down to Houston. Me and my buddy travled down to Houston, we got there the guy was giving us a tour around he showed us some pretty cool stuff like what’s inside the space ship. And we finally got to the big brown ball was and he said it was a. (Era UNA Peidta de po’po).

Two amazing Dogs!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Once, upon a time there were two dogs, named Gumbo and Jambalaya. So one day they went out to play, but they found a magic rock that was glowing so bright. They didn’t know what to do with it, so they buried it, so no one could find it. Then, a few days later they went to look for the magic rock but, when they found it must have been a rock dragons egg because when they found it there was a dragon made of rocks and grew fast. So Gumbo and Jambalaya were like what are we going to do with dragon because the village may think the dragon is evil, So you know what we must do, First we must train him to protect the village from evil. But,before they could train the rock dragon they must nurcher it.

Me  and my mom only move  like around the city close by but this this time was different i just knew it.

On January 7, 2002 we decided to move to texas. At first i was like  this country just ain't going to work for me. My mom told me trust me you're going to like it there. and when we are done you aint gonna wanna leave. I gave it a go and we were off to Pasadena Tx. It was a long ride from California to Texas.  On the ride over there we told scary,spooky and etc more stories tell me one and  i'm pretty sure we did it.Then at last we finally made it to our new home.

We settled in and we started to get out all of our stuff from our trunk. Then we went inside our new house and told my mom ill unpack in the morning because i was so tired from the ride that all i wanted to do is go to sleep. So I said goodnight to my mom and i thought i was going to be so sleepy i would have fallen asleep fast but i couldn't. for some reason i was just thinking on how school was going to turn out tomorrow. so i was just like man everything is going tourn turn at least alright for tomorrow. so faster than i can think i was out.

Next morning my mom made me some eggs for breakfast they were so good.

A Night Alone in the Canyon

We grab a few more items before we head out. We have waited so long and are so eager to go on this trip. After a whole summer of overtime, double-time, and sleepless nights of staying up to work and condition we were finally going to do what we had always dreamed of doing together. My best friend Frankie and I were going to go to the Grand Canyon!

We hop in the car and go on our not so little 14 hour drive to our destination. We stop a few times, take pictures, eat dinner, snacks, souvenirs, and all the other great stuff you do on road trips. At about  2am Frankie was driving and we both decided to stop and stay at a motel. The motel actually wasn’t disappointing and we were satisfied with what we got for what we paid. The very next morning after breakfast we start driving immediately without a single stop. Once we get to the Canyon at about 6am we decide to take some more pictures and plan to begin our descent into the canyon at 8am.

It’s now 8am and we are ready to go on the trip that we have dreamed about for quite a while. Before we go in we say a quick prayer, “Dear heavenly father, please bless us on this trip and watch over us, we thank you for giving us jobs to work for this, and for everything that we have that others may not, please keep us safe on this trip. Amen.” And with that we each take our very first steps into the Grand Canyon and have the time of our lives.

As we start hiking we talk about the highlights of our other backpacking trips and talk about our favorite ones. Mine honestly were the small day hikes back in Austin, or just hiking downtown while looking like we were homeless. But I liked it, it seemed fun and appealing to me. As we’re hiking we finally make it to our camp site. We then stay there for the night. Then the next day got up at 5am put up our tents ate breakfast, chugged a liter of water, and started our day of hiking. As we are hiking we see a nice high rock and hike over there to snap pictures together. As we are over there we lean over and look. A strong breeze comes and blows our packs over a cliff. We quickly went for our packs which was a big mistake because we fell over the rock and plummeted very far down.

Let me just say, that hurt really bad… Definitely not the highlight of my trip. When I got up I couldn't find Frankie. I was so terrified. I had no idea what to do at that moment. I quickly searched for him for... Hour’s maybe... But I couldn’t find him. Could he be dead? Please no GOD please NO! He was my best friend. He was all I had... I had to find him. He couldn’t be dead. I simply wouldn’t allow it. After we had fallen we got off the trail and where in unorganized area by then. Still after even more hours of searching, haven’t found him. I am so scared, it’s getting dark. I decide I’ll sleep but will get up very early to find my friend.

I get up early in the morning to begin searching but then, something happens to my legs and I can’t feel my left leg at all. I scream, hoping and, praying that someone will hear me. But nobody comes. During all of this the sun rises. So I decide that I’ll crawl instead of walk. Then, my prayers are answered. I see my pack! My backpack! My life saver. It had a walkie talkie in it. Frankie had one in his too! If Frankie is alive… And he found his pack… I could contact him. Please lord let this work. I need to know he is okay.

I reach my pack and open it up. I pull out my walkie talkie and turn it on immediately. I try to contact Frankie. After attempting every channel and receiving no results my walkie talkie told me that it only has about half an hour of battery life left. After that I pull painkillers out of my pack and drink some water. The painkillers helped to ease the pain quite a bit. But they also made me even drowsier. Then I somehow wake up at sunset. What! How? It was about noon when I reached my pack wasn’t it? The painkillers! They must have made me so drowsy that I passed out. A whole day of searching I could do gone. Now I would have to search in the night. But I will find him! I must find him.

It seems like it’s about 8:30 at night about now. And I decide that I will in fact search in the night. Thankfully, I can feel my left leg once again and don’t have to crawl any longer. While I’m searching I trip on something and fall into some purple cactus. Yikes! That didn’t feel too good. Thankfully I knew how to treat the wounds carefully and to ease the pain with help from my medical school lectures and practices. By now I’m up again and... Well... Limping now... But it’s all okay because I see a light.

It’s very dim but I see it. I decide to go check it out. After about five minutes of walking I walk up and see that someone had dropped their light. But I should have been the only one down there just me and...  And... FRANKIE! He had to be nearby! I could just feel it. I then start screaming his name and still no response. I start running looking around then I kick something and fall again. This time it’s just a face plant into the dirt but when I hit the ground I hear something. I get so quiet that I stop breathing. So quiet I can even hear my heartbeat. Someone was screaming. It just had to be Frankie. I slowly move towards the sound. Holding the light in my hand.

I walk up to the person and see that it’s Frankie! Finally after a night alone in unorganized canyon and two days of searching I found my best friend alive! I run up to him. He looks like he is in even more pain than I am or was. But seems happy to see me. After examining him and seeing where he was aching. I checked things and he had hurt his back bad, and along with that had broken his ribs. I give him some pain killers wrap up his wounds and go to sleep.

In the morning I carry him In hope of finding a way back to a trail. I go near an edge and yell for help for hours. Then, finally another hiker hears me and screams back hello. I am so happy to hear this man’s voice. Like getting even more than you asked on your birthday. It was a gift from god. I ask him for help to get me and my friend back up to the trail. He throws me his water bottle and tells me he will run to get help.

I drink half and save the other half for Frankie. I go and find him looking over a view of the canyon. One that I don’t think anyone has even seen at all before. It seemed like it was Photoshop but it was actually relief It was without a doubt one of the most amazing moments of my life because from there I knew that we would survive and that we were going home soon. Frankie talks for the first time in two days still drowsy from the painkillers and says “Dad are we gonna die?” And I tell him “No son, we’ll be home before you know it.” I give my son a hug and start crying knowing that we had made it.

Coconino County, Arizona Police Report filed 2:17pm April 27, 2013

After it was brought to our attention that a man was lost in the canyons we immediately went to his rescue. As we went and found him we found him hugging and speaking to his backpack calling him Frankie. We then ask what he had happened and he told us the story seen above. His face seemed familiar like I had seen it somewhere. We took him to the sheriff and he called up Travis County to pick him up.

Travis County, Texas Police report filed 7:25pm April 30, 2013

Outlaw located and put in no room with no social contact at all after 16 days on the run.

Steven Outlaw was out partying one night with his son and best friend. They partied too hard and Steven was just a little too drunk to drive but did anyways. In doing so crashed into a Chrysler minivan killing his son, his best friend, and paralyzing a three year old boy riding in the minivan. He then failed the drug test with traces of Marijuana and more shots than he had fingers. He was drunker than a sailor. After watching his friend and son die in front of him. Steven lost his mind. In jail he created an imaginary friend. Who was his best friend and his son his name was Frankie. After further examination we realized that Frankie was kind of like a mash up of Francis and Hank. He would always go on hiking trips with his son and friend and wanted to someday take them to the Grand Canyon for their birthdays. So he decided that on April 14, 2013 he would break out to take them to the Canyon for his son’s birthday on the 25th. After breaking out he immediately packs two bags for him and his mash up of his son and best friend into one person, throws the packs in the back of his pick up and drives off en route to the Canyon. Once he gets there he decides to carry his buddy Frankie’s pack for him and gets very exhausted from the total of 120 pounds of stuff he carries that he goes by a rock passes out and falls with the packs with him and the packs going in three different directions. Once he wakes up he can’t find his imaginary son/ best friend Frankie and begins to search very quickly. After facing many obstacles he finds a flashlight that had fallen out of his pack and onto the ground knocking the on switch thus turning on the light. He then hears the walkie talkie making noise thinking it’s Frankie when it’s actually feedback from his screaming sending to the walkie talkie making it go off. He then goes and spends the night with his pack. In the morning he finds help from a man named Fernando that was hiking in the Canyon as well. When the police and paramedics go expecting to find two wounded people desperate for help. They find one man wounded, hugging, and talking to his backpack. They then take him to the sheriff’s office in Coconino County, Arizona and realize he’s the mental convict from Travis County. They quickly call up Travis County to confirm that they had him. When they come to pick up Outlaw his imaginary friend Frankie decides to stay at the Grand Canyon for Outlaw to never see him again.

L.S.

It’s so dark… so cold… so…wet? I finally come to my senses and feel sand scrape against my face as I wash against the shore. The last thing I remember was falling… falling straight into nothing. He… he just flew away, just leaving me. I seek revenge now, and I’ll show him what it feels like to be abandoned. I’ll kill the inventor in cold blood.

I walk away from the sea that bears my name, and walk towards the city. Everything… is… different… Dull red blocks replace the ornate marble… Who is MacDonald, and WHY does he have SO many houses!? The people… Not wearing elegant robes or leather tunics now wear… Strange colored clothes and…dark colored leggings…

“Excuse me, sir? Can you tell me where my father is?” I ask. The man replied in such a language I’d never heard before… So I just walked away.

I found this giant strip of rock with flashing torches, maybe it’s a path. Maybe it’ll take me to my father. I had just begun walking the path, when a GIANT metal bird screamed into existence. I felt my heart leap into my throat, as I dashed off of the rock.

“That could’ve KILLED ME!!!” I scream. I’m going to go back and destroy the bird, but that piece of parchment seems to be calling my name. I pick it up and realized that it’s not parchment… But I’m not concerned about the… whatever it is. I’m concerned about the number printed across the top.

“Two-thousand and fourteen?” I asked aloud, knowing no one would answer. Then… with a sinking feeling I realize what it means… The year is 2014. Then… He might be dead. NO! I know it’s not true! I’ll find Dædalus and I’ll take his soul right down to the depths of the Underworld!

Alright, I managed to figure out I’m in Greece, but for all I know, Dædalus could be anywhere! Just then, I hear a sailor scream something in the alien language, and point to a boat. It must be a sign. Let’s go aboard.

Dædalus

I walk into my sun-lit workshop, and pick up the shield I had been working on for weeks. As I carried it to the forge, I marveled on how light it was. It was EXTREMELY difficult to find a metal that defies its weight, but retains its density and mass. I put the shield on the forge, and wait for the metal to soften.

7 days later… he arrives in America

I finally arrive at a New York City, and I’m instantly overwhelmed by the size of the city… I walk into building, showing pictures of all these different places, when one of the pictures catches my eye. It showed AMAZING rock formations… I realize that that’s where Dædalus must be. An architect can easily blend in with rock formations.

Dædalus

A couple days after I finished the shield, I made a sword like none other to accompany the shield. No one would ever think to make an Obsidian sword, It’s still looking rough around the edges, so I carry it to the forge, and lay it in the fire, waiting for the metal to soften… Again.

Him

I know he’s here. I can feel it, I can… hear it? Yes, I do hear it. A clang, as if a sword were being hit on an anvil. But it’s not around me… it’s directly above me.

“Well haven’t we gotten clever Dædalus and invisible tower…” I say as I begin the long climb up the rocks.

Dædalus

This is by far my best looking sword. I pick it up off the anvil and look at it’s shimmering obsidian… When something in the reflection catches my eye… There, standing in the windowsill, is someone I thought to be dead.

“How do you like the new world?” I ask sarcastically. “With the new languages and the new looks.”

“DON’T PATRONIZE ME!” He yells. “YOU JUST LEFT ME FOR DEAD IN THAT FORSAKEN SEA!”

“Relax, I was only joking…” I reply wearily.

“Oh… You think everything between us is ok? That I’m not angry at you? After thousands of years in that sea, you just make a JOKE!?” He screams.

“What is your problem?” I ask, slightly annoyed.

“You’re going to die in this workshop.” He replies.

“You’re not going to kill me Icarus.” I tell him.

Icarus

“What makes you so sure?” I ask as I slip a silver knife out of my pocket, and lunge.

Dædalus

Of course he has a knife. I think as I reach for the shield. I hold the shield out in front of me just before he connects the strike. The strike hit the shield with a hollow Clang! I push Icarus back with the shield; the force of the push had thrown him back to the wall.

“You think you could just-“He started, but he slips on a bronze rod. In a panic to regain his balance, he drops the silver knife. I saw my opportunity, like my favorite movie Captain America; I take the shield in my other hand, and throw it with all my strength. The shield hits Icarus just as he regains his balance. He was knocked out the window from which he came in, and I thought it was over… Until I saw fingers grasping the edge of the windowsill. I knew that he’d try again, so there was only one way to end it. I walk over to where Icarus had dropped the knife,  pick it up, and walked to the windowsill.

Icarus

I’m hanging on the edge of the window, desperately trying to find a foothold, when Dædalus walks over, with my knife in his hand. Pure dread had come over me when I realized what he was about to do.

“No… Please…” I begged. He didn’t answer. He raises the knife above his head, and…

Dædalus

I bury the knife hilt-deep in Icarus’s skull, and I watch him fall to the ground. The hands of a killer can only destroy. I thought. So I grabbed a can of oil from one of my shelves, and begin to douse everything in it. My blueprints, my life’s work. My life… Has come to a grinding halt. I pour the oil over my head as well. Then I walk over to the wall, pick a torch off of its holder, and drop it on the floor. There’s a blinding flash, and everything is emanating heat. My skin burns, as the fire turns flesh to ash. The room is growing darker now. Maybe Hades will have mercy on my soul. I think as I collapse and wait for it to be over.

Hades

“Unbelievable… JUST unbelievable. A father kills his son…” I mutter

“But sir!” One of the judges of souls say. “The boy had attempted to kill his father!”

“Yes, he did, and I get that he would try again, but that doesn’t give the father the right to kill the boy!” I yell.

“But sir, he was only acting on self-defence.” He reasoned. I realized that there was no way of arguing in this situation.

“Alright fine. Give the boy Eternal Punishment and the father the Fields of Asphodel. That’s final!” I scream as I bring the gavel down.

“But, sir!” The judge exclaimed. But I had left already, walking back the the black castle at which I reside. All around me are souls, trying to find their lost ways.
“Just keep looking.” I say aloud. “You’ll never find anything anyway.”

V.B.

I watched in horror as Lord Darian’s anger and hatred burned away at Alyssa’s skin, slowly boring holes in her soft flesh. The sight of her melting meat was enough to kill me dead. I will never forget the sound of helpless screams.

I woke early in the night by the cold chill of a draft sweeping across my face. I sat up and followed the chill until I found its source. There, in the bottom corner of a wall intersection was small hole. The hole was about the size of a quarter. Holes like this one only come every one hundred fifty years or so. You see, I live in a tower. This tower houses about one thousand families of four or five.  Our tower resembles a large upright brick with slightly rounded edges. The inside of the tower is set up so that the houses are along the inside walls of the tower with the middle hollowed out to reveal the floor of the ground level , and the thick window roof of the highest floor. Our tower is made of a hard and durable clay of some sort. So as you can see, for a hole the size of the one I found, something great must have happened.

“Ally! Ally wake up! Ally you’re late! Ally please, get up. WAKE UP PLEASE!” The ‘sweet’, ‘angelic’, screaming voice of my mother began to stir me from my deep slumber. Although I wanted to sleep her persistent calls off, the sound of desperation in her voice was enough to finally arouse me from my sleep. “Mother I’m awake, what is the matter? Why do you sound so worried?” I replied groggily. “Oh Ally I was so worried! I thought you caught the PMS.”  Pestilentia Mortem Somnus, or PMS, a highly advanced virus, is the name of the plague wrecking havoc in the lowest floors of the tower. The plague causes great pain to its victim before finally consuming it. In the early stages of PMS, a targeted victim begins to experience migraines followed shortly by vomiting and hot and cold flashes. Then after a day or two of vomiting and headaches, the victim’s temperature rises causing Delirium. Eventually the Delirium sends your mind into a deep sleep in an unexplainable way. During the victim’s deep sleep state, the Pestilentia Mortem Somnus virus runs through your veins until it reaches your brain. Once there, it creates a milky film around your brain that allows it to take full control of your body and it gives the virus an all access pass to the information stored in your brain. The virus, aside from taking over a body and causing the victim to disappear forever, has a major side effect, in needs to consume human flesh to sustain itself. We call the newly inhabited bodies Scorchlings after how all night the moan and complain about how their skin is scorching. After recently examining a freshly dead Scorchling, doctors discovered that the horrible crying of theirs was due to an irritation of the skin caused by a body’s allergic reaction to the virus.

Since the first sighting of Scorchlings, Lord Darian seized the opportunity for more gold and valuables by giving us gates and bars to cover our windows and doors from a Scorchling intrusion. The Scorchlings hate the light so the wealthier you are the closer you live to the window at the top of the tower. That’s great and all only, i live only two floors above where the furthest Scorchies have been sighted. This means only one thing, Scorchlings lurk in shadows of the fifty-fifth floor…..

Diary entry: 1

The day faded as the moon started shining. It was another day of traveling North, and food is running low, only food for three days max!  It’s been days seens we saw another human. It was like we were the only ones alive.

We try to avoid big cities, because of the danger. We hit small towns, searching for food, water and shelter when we can. We ride in our bikes moving north, were we get a signal from this broadcast we heard every night around 8:00pm to 8:45pm. They will say they have shelter for survivors like us. It’s in Alaska, we were in Nevada. A far trip, but if there’s a chance of survival, will take it!

I’ve known blue since middle school; I asked her out in 8th grade. She seed “sure” like knowing it wasn’t going to last. But look at us 5 years later we’re together fighting these bio weapons, which were meant to follow orders turned into animals. Looking for flesh to eat, what was meant to be a super solder that can last days without eating and can’t feel pain… it turned out to be a monster looking to eat flesh from animals and humans, like if there wasn’t a tomorrow.

As each hour past we became more scared, cold, tired… but we always had hope. We hoped to find civilization from the broadcast. Hope is the only thing kipping us alive at this point, hope will never abandon us but we might abandon hope…

Diary entry: 2

As the day’s past, I kept wising we had a bed to sleep in. it’s been a month now sense I lay in a bed…
Today we hit a small town in ___________. _____________. Not too many zombies, there was only like 3 or 4. It seems there migrating, like birds. Winter was getting started, seems they don’t like the could. In the town we found food and shelter, with a dusty but well kept king size bed… I guess dreams do come true. We slept true the knight, until I heard cracking outside. I slowly got out of bed, trying not to wake blue up. I garbed my hand gun to see who or what, was outside. What I saw. It was the most horrific thing I’ve ever seen. Zombies, a heard of them, at least more than 60 of them just passing true the town. I decided not to wake blue up, she dint need to get worried at what was going on. I just covered her up with the blankets we had. It was getting could I dint want her to catch a cold, I just put a jacket and turned on the TV. Nothing it was expected, channels just gray with black dots all over the TV. Blue always thinks of everything so she packed her gaming system. An X-Box, I prefer a PS3 but games are games. 2 hours later Blue started to wake up, I made breakfast for her

WE WERE NOT PERPARED

CHAPTER 1

W e should expected it to happen but what could we havedone we were sleeping .It was 2:00am a dark silent cold night intill screaming, shouting , yelling was coming from the outside. It had woken every one up inthe house. Dad got up and ran outsides. Mom had gathered everyone to the empty living room waiting  paitently for him tocome back home .No later then a second dad came back rushing pushing anything he could find against the door .He quickly stop and turn to mom ”Mary get the kids to the basement now we don’t have time” he said whispering while panicking at the same time” William what going on””Mary we don’t have time to talk now get you self and the kids to the basement alright  I’m  going to be okay just go ill be okay I promise go.

Mary looked

at him once more then left.

CHAPTER 2

We sat in the basement waiting for dad to come back everyone was silent the only thing we had heard was the sound of us breathing.

All the

sudden we heard banging it had got louder and stronger as we sat and heard

, then screaming occurred at first we thought it was coming from the outside but

the more we listen we realize it was dad

“dad daddy

“  I said screaming from the top of lungs

and crying as well. Mom had coverd my mouth and told me to be quiet, I tried to

escape but she was to strong.

There was an

instant stop from the noise it was complety silent  it was weird because  not a sound of screaming or movement came

from outside dundt ,dundt ,dunt the sound of footsteps  was comimg close and closer every second then

it stop “mom I scared where dad” I said she seem to not to be listening to me  instead she stared at the door like a hawk

Should I have taken with me?

It was a Monday I was walking home after school with my friend Isaac. suddenly  a lady that works at the school  said ”tu NIÑO!!! , Ven aca traygo algo para ti”. Then I went up to her and then she bent down and picked up a medium sized turtle. I said,  “No I can’t take that turtle .”,but she wouldn’t take no for an answer. So I took it with me I was a couple of blocks away from my house. And I was thinking that my mom would get really  mad if I just brought a turtle in the middle of the day. So I sat in the front park for a couple of hours. Trying to find someone that would take it.

No one came so I had to take it home and see what my mom say’s about the turtle. As soon as come inside my mom says whose is that and why is it here .So I tell her the story and she says okay you got one week to get rid of the turtle and I tell her no problem. so I  go straight to sleep because tomorrow imam go to the park and see if someone will come and take it of my hands. Because if I don’t get rid of it I will have to kill the turtle .And that will be hard for me because the inside of a turtle is gross .the next morning I woke up and I went straight to the park I hade made a sign that said” free turtle no money “ so im in the park waiting and I wonder if anyone would take it. I call my mom and I tell her to bring me some food because I was starving  for over two hours once she says its ready I go back home when I get home I put the turtle in my room and I go and eat after I was done eating  I was so full that I went to the sofa turned on the television and sat there for about three hours .

When I was done watching the television I went to check onthe turtle  it was okay
