I felt the tape on my mouth and the long rope that was binding me to the chair. The Room was so black, I couldn't see. I recalled how I had got there. The new family next door invited me to their housewarming party. So I went. Then, as I was going home, some-one grabbed me. A rough hand covered my mouth, so I couldn't scream. All I saw of my kidnapper was a pair of shocking green eyes. I was thrown into the back of a white van and tied up. I was there for only five minutes, but time slowed down and took five hours.Why did anyone want to kidnap me? I had done nothing wrong. The van doors opened, and the same green-eyed man bundelled me out. He carried me into a dark room. And that is how I got here. I was tied so tightly that I could not reach the phone in my pocket. I was a prisoner. Alone.

Then there was a sudden outburst of mad laughter from another room. It must have been the green-eyed man. Then the door slowly creaked open. The green eyes of the man were wide open and brighter than ever. I looked at his hand. He was carrying a knife. It was dripping with blood. I felt as if my heart had stopped. I was going to die. Never again would I run barefoot in a green field... green! This thought brought me back to reality. I was not going to die. Not now. With the this thought, I quickly slid off the chair. Then I tore the tape from my mouth, and screamed. The man had me with the knife to my throat. Remembering my training in martial arts almost four years previously, I grabbed hold of the knife, and directed it towards him. The man ran, as quick as a cheetah. Now there was the problem of getting home.

I stepped out of the door, and tried to think where I was. Then I realised that I had my phone. Quickly, I dialled the police. To my horror, the green-eyed man came running out of a nearby bush. His hands were preparing to strangle me. Just as I gave up all hope, a police car came roaring down the road. They grabbed the green-eyed man, and took him away.

I got back home. I am safe now. But still i live in fear of the day he is released.







Thanks for reading! That story was called 'The Room'. It is an original story by Ellie Cowell. Just so you know, that story was completely fictional.

“Hay” Byron said. “Hi”I said “um….can I talk to you? This is sort of important.” I waited for his answer. It seemed like forever. “Sure. What do you want to talk about?” I didn’t know how to start. “Your sister. She’s being quite childish about this I mean she’s 15 I know I acted like a 5-year old when it doesn’t get what it wants. But this is just….well dumb-” he cut me off. “How is she being childish?!” he was very furious he looked like would explode. “Well… she only lets you talk to me when she’s not here. We have to hide the notes from her. And…...

Once upon a time, in a perfect world there stood a perfect pink castle guarded by a perfect number of perfect fluffy horses and surrounded by a perfect wall of perfect pink flowers.
In the perfect castle there lived a perfect, perfect girl with a perfect life. Her perfect name was perfect: Serenity Lianna Honeyblossom Sweetytreat Sparkle Cupcake Beauty Mary Sue.
She was always paid by authors to star in their books and act like the perfect dream girl; aka a Mary Sue. She lived in Storyland, where all the ideal characters lived until they were picked for a story and then dropped back in after....

Hi! I was writing a novel a while back, but I got distracted. I have only written the first chapter. I feel as if I need better names for the characters. I believe I'm going to edit the first chapter a lot and bring in some other characters. For the main 2 characters I was thinking I would name them something foreign that has a meaning to do with love, to be a little cutesy. Also, title suggestions would help! If you choose to follow the link below the female character's description, let me know if you have any names for the 2 cheerleaders mentioned.

Edit: For 'Jo'/female I was looking up names...

Ah, the dreaded cliché! The worst feedback a writer can get is, "Well, it sounds sort of cliché, doesn't it?"

All authors want to be original. If someone even mentions that a writer's work reminds them of someone else's, the writer tenses up. "No, no, no, I'm nothing like him," he says swiftly. "I've never even read him."

"Yeah, but it's kinda like him," the reader persists, believing she is giving a compliment rather than an insult. "He's incredible, you should read him!"

The thing is-- it should be a compliment when a reader compares your work to...

This is a story; my story. I am Damien Cole Demidov. My grandparents are full-blooded Russian. I am twenty-one years old, and I’ve been locked up in an asylum for four years.
    I have black hair about four inches from my shoulders. I am vampire pale. I have crystal blue eyes. I’m 5’9’’.
    I have met many a person in my time. Maybe you’ll meet some of the throughout the story.
    Anywho, I live in the U.S. now, shipped over with my mom when I was twelve. I live in New York City at the moment. My mom is back in Russia with my father, and grandparents.
    Now, let’s see what’s in store for us.

Life.


Life is what you make it, a recipe that could either end in disaster, or turn out great.

Some people get an advantage, they start off with better ingredients. But at the end of the day, the person that worked the hardest, gets the best result, no matter how they started.

Never think that you can't beat that person who has every ingredient ready-made, because they happen to have that start in life. If you are dedicated to what you do, then there's nothing to stop you getting to that same stage. Or above that stage. You just have to be determined, talented at what it is you want to do, and...

As the Bentley pulled into the huge garage jane smiled to herself gently. I felt Edward stiffen next to me.
"What is it?" I mouthed I felt my eyebrows pul together in mystification, as he shook his head it must have been bad then what she was thinking.
"Move it I don't have all day and neither do your family." She cackled like a witch on halloween.
I fought back a snarl- that was out of line and Jane seemed the type who would use your family against you in a fight.
"She was thinking about the tortures they had put Esme and Carlisle through. They let them get- you remember how thirsty you were before...

I hate when you walk away from me
because I'm always scared that you won't be come back
I hate every time i see you
because i always melt like ice scream on sun
I hate every time when I'm not seeing you
because i always think where are you
I hate that you're always in my head
because i can't think about anything else but you
I hate when you don't talk with me
because i always think that i did something wrong
I hate that i always try to impress you
but it's like you don't see that
I hate every time you touch me instinctively
because you always make me want to hold you,to kiss you
I hate every time you talk...

Here I spread the colors of my life

They sound like a tune of fife


They always closed me in a dark room

I put on my headphones, enjoyed & played the boom


It's so boring to just see the sky

Today I decided I'll go and fly


Eveyones mind is full of depressions

But mine is full of imaginations


I changed the dark night into shining sequins

And the heap into beautiful fragrance


I don't want you to make my hair a mess

Cause I'm wearing the tiara to be a princess


My passion, my obsession, my desire

Don't interfere in between or I'll blow you up with flames of fire

If You're Writing Fiction

1.Figure out what you want to write about or what type of book you want to write. For some people, ideas come naturally, but for others, it's a difficult step. If you’re having trouble, figure out what kind of books you like. Do you read a lot of Stephen King? Write a horror book. Have you been hooked on Eoin Colfer ever since the second grade? Write a story about elves and technology. If you try to write a book that you would enjoy reading, writing it will be more fun and easy.

2. Know the elements of a good novel.

-The setting. The setting of a story is its time...

We’re finally out of the house and coughing I looked at my ivory skin marked with ashes I looked at jose same thing. “jose do you have the money and your clothes?” I ask “yes do you have the food and your clothes?” my little brother asked I can explain the bags we wanted to run away because our parents were splitting up.“Of course oh my goodness look at Domingos’ house” I say. It is also on fire we see one person stumble out “jose we need to see who that is.” I say. He already was running to see who it is. “Thank goodness we...

Chap 1
They say the woods had magical powers, or that there were creatures possessing the woods that caused strange things to happen in the neighboring town. But myths may be able to fool the 19th century, maybe even the 20th century, but the 21st century? You’ve got to be kidding me. With the kind of first class technology that can map out entire areas through every nook and cranny, and that can create a program that can entangle the entire world in its web. The 21st century was 1st class, un-gullible and not easily fooled, too wrapped up in our own little bubble of a world that we created...
