Prologue

Once upon a time...

"We must get away!" A Female Kitsune panicked to her Husband, while holding a crying baby Kitsune.

"Right!" The Father said as he started to run with his Wife and his infant child.

"Stop!" A Woman in a cloak holding a sword yelled as she charged on a Horse, chasing them.

"I will take the child!" The Mother said as the Father handed the baby to her.

"Now die!" The Woman said as she ran and slashed the Father, killing him in one slash.

"No! I will not let you take my child!" The Mother said as she stood her ground at the Woman.

"Such foolish nonsense, dirty Kitsune!" The Woman said as she fired a poison arrow at her head, killing her instantly. The Woman saw the baby Kitsune and grabbed it. "Now...to let you drown in your sins..." The Woman held the child over a well.

"STOP!" A Shinto Priest commanded the Woman. The Woman knew who this was and bowed.

"What did i do wrong?" She said, holding the child.

"You killed parents and almost killed a Child!" He told her gruffly.

"No..i have sinned..." The Woman moaned as she held the crying infant.

"You must raise the Kitsune as your Daughter to atone for you horrible sins, Princess Himako" The Shinto Priest commanded Himako.

"...fine" Himako said as she held the child, "your name is now Yajuu". Yajuu had fallen asleep by that time...

And that is where we begin...

alicia386, riehlemarie and 1 other like this

missracoon That was good :D Is there going to be more?

BlondLionEzel yup

ecology great beginning i cant wait to read more

BlondLionEzel ok

alicia386 So far so wonderful! The only problem i had with the story was the lack of details but again, in prologues, the real mystery is having them without details. Everything seemed to happen so fast. Anyways, i love this story so far and i loved your last story. You are really talented and should be so proud. Using bigger words to replace other words, makes for a more mind capturing sentence and story!!

BlondLionEzel thx

alicia386 Ur so welcome

The keeper of the forbidden light chapter 3

posted by Annabeth788594

As we walked down a long never-ending hallway. I decided I wanted answers. So where are we going I asked Blake? Do you want to stay in that white room? No I replied. We came to a stop. And he handed me a key. Then here we are this is where you will be staying. Go ahead do the honors.
I put the key in the lock and twisted it. Grabbed the handle and opened the door. I am not going to lie the room was beyond cool. First off it was huge like two apartments big. And there was a king-sized bed, a walk in closest full of clothes and a kitchen filled with snacks. But what I found odd was half of it...

    Just a lovely game
    I wasn’t even worried about our run in with Talia, in fact, I almost forgot about it. The rest of the day was spent on purely fun and I found myself humming as I unlocked the front door to my house. It was eerily quiet but I just shrugged, entering the house I found Ryler sprawled on the couch again eyes opened blankly.
    “Are you dead?” I asked. “Because if you are it’ll be a pain to move your body.”

    “That movie was awesome!” Sage announced as we exited the movie theater.

The darkness suffocates me.

My breathing escalates. It feels as though my lungs are constricting.
Cold sweat breaks on my forehead and I find...

What I Took From It, Chapter Six

Sadie and Claire's Ride

I was so nervous as to what we would be doing out in the woods in the middle of the night. I couldn't tell Claire, I decided. That would only scare us more. So I laid out the outfit they instructed I wear and took a shower in the bathroom. The water was, at first, very cold, but I figured out how to work the nozzle and turn the freezing water into comfortable, steamy hot water. I made as many bubbles as I could and tried to distract myself, but I just couldn't. Sadie, I told myself, stop overthinking this. You'll be alright. We're just gonna play a game out there at night. I slicked my clean...

We Can't Go On Pretending Day by Day (country song)

posted by hgfan5602

This is reality
This is what you call the Earth
This is what people call the world
This is what we call life

We can't go on pretending day by day
That good things will always happen
Stormy days will come, it's not a miracle
But the storm will end soon, and all will be clear again

Heavy rain's crashing against my windowsill
I think, when will this ever stop?
The thunder's crashing against the trees outside
Today's not going to be a fine day, but it will end

I woke up this morning and guess what I saw
Bright sunny mornings with a clear future
No one's gonna stop me from believin
The rain stopped and the future's bright again

Good and bad create our lives
We can't pretend that everything's gonna always be alright
It's hard to think that something's gonna be wrong
But it's the truth, the whole truth.

We can't go on day by day pretending
Everything's gonna be alright
But we know that sunny days will come out
Soon or later.

I like Blake. He seemed to enjoy having company with our six cousins, and they all looked excited to do whatever they were going to do tonight. That reminded me: what exactly were we doing? I had no idea. I decided to just forget about it and enjoy the rest of the day. We all ran out back and explored th backyard. Past the shed were woods like the ones we traversed to get to Blake's. I guess they were all around us. Dark and inviting and creepy.
We had a few hours to run around outside, then we were called in for supper. Jeb stood by the creaky back door...

Interview with Simone Rivers

Me: How do you feel about the book The Deadly Truth? Was everything in it accurate?

Simone: I guess the book was okay. It didn't give a good description of my beauty. The author didn't describe how brilliant my hair looks in the light or how my eyes shimmer when I smile. The author didn't even mention my glamourous white teeth. [shakes head disapprovingly].

Me: [ignores vain comment]. Can you tell the viewers out there about your relationship with the pastor?

Present Day
Leo,now 13, stood on top of the tall, sturdy tree looking for any sign of the kids who kill. Luckily he'd been there for 2 hours and seen or heard nothing and decided to make the swing back to the tree he lived in with Jason and Sarah, he ran down the branch and jumped onto the branch and pushed off from what they call the watch tree.

The swinging was the greatest thing ever in Leos mind, with the trees flying by at unnatural speeds, the insects moving all around your head wondering whats going on and best of all the height your up at, because...

It's time to rock the floor,
Break out all your dance moves like never before,
And let all of your worries vanish away,
Vanish away.

Isn't it just easy
To eat the whole chocolate cake?
Just creep over to the table
And get your face filled with sweet heaven

No, no, go over to the floor
And show me all your moves
Cuz I got DJ replaying "Party Rock Anthem"
Tonight, on this glorious night, tonight

It's time to rock the floor
Get a partner and swing them across
Show them you're workin your mojo
Tonight, tonight, tonight

It's your night
So get up everybody and dance,
Like you don't care about another thing
Just dance,...

18 Important Writing Tips for True Writers

posted by hgfan5602

Writing Tip #1: Put off editing

Each of us works at writing on two levels:a creative, unconscious level and a critical, conscious level.

The unconscious produces creative and powerful words and images. It makes surprising and original connections. It shuts down if the critical "editor" part of your mind goes to work too soon.If your High School English teacher's voice runs through your mind as you write, if you worry about spelling, grammar, or how to sell your book while you write, you are writing with a dull pencil.

There are many books written on how to unlock your unconscious and let the writing...
