Preface
This day was supposed to turn out normally; people would make fun of my pinkie peachy, ghostly hand skin. Others would make fun of my black hair and not having it dyed blonde or brown. But today was different all because I had to walk the short way to school.
I was staring into the face of death. I saw it. I looked back and forth at the poor woman, lying on the cold gravelled road with blood dripping down her neck, and at her side a ghostly white beast standing tall beside her with blood, dripping from his teeth like he had just sucked her blood. It had bronze-like hair with golden eyes; it stared at its victim and snarled. The beast then turned to another boy, wearing clothes like they had been quickly sown together. The boy had mucky-brown hair and terrified, hypnotising emerald green eyes. I recognised him. It was Moon-Struck.

Chapter 1
An ordinary day
One Wednesday morning I walked to school on an ordinary day. The sky was as grey as smoke, full of grey clouds, and drops of rain as transparent as glass. I looked in a bush and saw something brown it was a stick. I picked it up and threw it. I watched it fly through the air and land with a bump. Suddenly I heard rustling in the bushes. Slowly and cautiously I peered âround the bush and saw a Wolf. It was as black as a night sky with fluorescent yellow eyes. It turned slowly until itâs eyes and mine met. I stared deep into itâs eyes and saw some difference in them, something more⌠human. Strangely it turned into a Beagle and ran off. I followed it. Running as fast as I could. Faster and faster I went, dodging trees and jumping bushes. During this I ran mindlessly and I thought to myself what is it? Where did it come from? Wh- everything went black.
I awoke in a daze, looking to see where I was. Some sort of street? I asked myself. I saw that I was lying on a stone cold pavement-like floor⌠in fact it was a pavement. The Wolf/Beagle thing was leaning over me but in a different form. It was in a half Human half Wolf. A Werewolf. I knew it was the same Wolf/Beagle because I looked deep into itâs eyes again. It spoke âWakie wakie sleepy headâ
Itâs voice was gentle and had a hint of excitement.
âW-what w-who and what are you?â I asked.
He sighed.
âI am a Werewolf, nameâs Moon-Struck Nalthraâ He said with annoyance.
âIâm 16 years old, âlot to learn yady yady yakâ He continued.
âMy Auntie and Uncle always say thatâ Moon-Struck sighed.
âWhere am I exactly?â I asked.
âWellâ Moon-Struck began âYou are in Armageddon City where Werewolves, Vampires, Witches, Wizards and the rest live!â he exclaimed.
I looked around.
The city was beautiful. It was an underground cavern with thatched roof houses, the lampposts were like the old ones with fire instead of electricity. The shops were magical like Unicorn Stables and Pixie Pubs. The streets were named things like Werewolf Kennels, Vampire Cave, Witch Castle, Wizard Hall, Goblin Gardens and Demon Dens.

I Have written this on Microsoft Word and I copy and paste it on forums to see if it is any good.
âBut Arma-â I began.
âYes I knowâ He interrupted âArmageddon is like the Apocalypse and this place doesnât look veryâŚ.. Hellishâ. He said with a hint of embarrassment.
âLet me take you to some placesâ Moon-Struck exclaimed in all excitement.
He grabbed my hand. His hand was warm and comforting. I felt safe. On our way to Unicorn Stables Moon-Struck spoke âso whatâs your name?â he asked.
âSamantha Wiseâ I replied âIâm 16 years old tooâ I added.
âGreatâ he smiled mischievously.
We arrived as he let go of my hand. Goblins ran the place, you could tell as they were taking care of the Unicorns, shining their horns and cleaning the stalls. They were also taking in these weird blue coins. Moon-Struck spoke to me; he could tell I was confused. âSee the blue coins they are called Gialsâ he explained âand the Goblins run most animal shopsâ he added.
âUm so dâ you wanna go for a Unicorn ride?â He asked with a hint of embarrassment.
âSureâ I replied.

ok, it's a bit quirky, not bad, but slightly bit tame so far, for my taste, course, it takes confidence and talent like yours, to let others see one's work.

Goldie this is only the begining, you know the boring couple of Chapters before the excitment.7
He went up to the desk and spoke to the Goblin âUnicorn Ride for twoâ He said handing over four of the little coins.
âRight this way young onesâ the Goblin spoke in a squeaky voice as Moon-Struck transformed into a human.
Moon-Struckâs human form was beautiful. He had dark, mud brown, ruffled hair and kind hypnotising emerald green eyes.
The Goblin saddled up two Unicorns and we jumped on.
âNowâ the Goblin began âdonât go over the river with the Unicorns if you want to go, go yourselfâ the Goblin smiled evilly like he wanted us to go alone over the river.
We rode across the field, the Unicorns jumping fences and bushes. We rode in silence. I was thinking about all that had just happened. I have just chased a Wolf that turned into a Beagle who was actually a Werewolf who has taken me to an Underground Cavern and Iâm sitting on a Unicorn while he rides beside me! Why did he accept me so easily? He is a Werewolf so why did he take me for a Unicorn ride? He doesnât even know me.
He spoke âumm hello?â I wondered why he said it like a question, he had repeated himself twice.
âHiâ I replied as I flushed with embarrassment.
âSoâ He began âAre you scared?â
âOff what?â I asked.
He stared at me like I was an idiot. âWell were to begin?â He asked sarcastically.
âLetâs start with the fact that youâre riding a Unicorn with a monsterâ
âYouâre not a monsterâ I said defensively.
âIâm a Werewolf and youâre a____â He paused.
âHuman?â I finished for him.
âYeah umâŚsureâ he hesitated.
Why is he hesitating? I though Iâm human nothing else. What else could I be apart from a human?
âShould we go back to the Stables?â he asked.
âSureâ I replied slowly.
We rode back through the field. âWhat is over the River?â I asked.
âW-I cannot goâ he hesitated.

Interesting I like the plot development and it is unique. Do you want any constructive feedback on these passages?

Yes I would appreciate Constructive feedback

Honestly alot of this seems kinda of like the harry potter world but without the organization in the way various mystical elements are implemented. In other words it feels a little like you just decided to throw in magical elements wherever without much thought toward having them make sense.
Also, more importantly as far as writing in general, try putting in details, make the reader sense the surroundings. and also the sequence of events seems to progress too quickly. Put in more dialogue and think about what it would be like to be one of the major protagonists for a scene and the process of what you would do and what would go through your head in going from point A to point B in the sequence.
Honestly what I'm trying to say is it just feels rushed.

âWhy can I go?â I asked.
He growled. âWhy did I open my big mouth?â He muttered under his breath.
âWhat is over the River?â I demanded.
âAlright, alrightâ He breathed âIt is the Daemon Leaders territory and as they are getting weaker no one can goâ he explained.
âSo-â I began.
âEnd of conversationâ he snapped
âOk thenâ I said slowly.
âCan-â I began.
âPlease no more questionsâ he pleaded.
âOkâ I obeyed.
We arrived back at the Stables. I looked at my watch and gasped.
âWhatâs wrongâ he growled, eyes flickering everywhere.
âIts 4:30PMâ I began âIâm late-I missed school and I am late for going home.
âI can get a favourâ he said, his eyes filled with mischief.
Next thing I knew I was standing in front of a Witch Stall called âRent-A-Broomâ
âSoâ the Witch muttered in a surprisingly normal voice âdo you know, how to ride a broomâ
âN-â I began.
âOf course she doesâ Moon-Struck interrupted with great mischief in his voice.
âOk thenâ The Witch said with much enthusiasm. A very tall and strong Man picked me up. He had black hair and golden eyes. He then froze. Moon-Struck was growling and snarling at him. The Man did the same. Then the Man put his big, strong arm up, I felt the coldness of his body. His arm was going down to try it grab me by the throat but Moon-Struck turned into his Wolf Man form and lunged at me. The force pushed me out of the Manâs arms and onto the broom. The Broom whooshed out of the market and, as I shouted home, it suddenly turned up and went for a hole in the Cavern ceiling. It raced through it and as I saw my house I shouted as loud as I could âThat oneâ as I pointed to my house.
It flew to my door step and whooshed off.
I waited as I steadied myself then heard my Mum shout out of the window âWhere have you been young lady!â
âIf I told you, you would not believe meâ I muttered.
âWhat was that!â she shouted.
âSlow school day and my um⌠friends told me about a party and it took me ages to tell them I couldnât goâ I shouted back up.
âIâll find out what really happened laterâ She said.
I went inside. My Dad was still at work. The phone rang and I quickly ran to get it.
âHelloâ I said cheerfully.
âHi itâs Janetâ I heard the familiar voice âwhere were you?â
âYou would not believe me if I told youâ I muttered.
âOf course I would!â She replied.
âIâm not tellingâ I said teasingly.
âAweâ she replied. âAnyway wanna go to the skate park, I heard Tom is gonna try a 360 twist on his skate-board on Friday at 4:30pm.â
âWell of course Iâm cominâ why wouldnât I?â I said.
âMaybe in youâre wacky day you met someoneâ she said.
âOi do-â I began but Janet put the phone down.
I groaned at what she thought. I wished I was still with him in his mystical world.
I wondered if I would meet him again tomorrow. Iâll ask him if when I throw the stick then he come. Yeah I will do that! I thought.

Wolf Story
Chapter 1
The Beggining
One cold day, a week before spring on Amethyst Mountains a little, male grey wolf cub been born. He was called Rex and he was a light but dark brown wolf with little bits of black and white. His dad was called Fang and he was a deep, dark black that with his pack matches his personality but was really quite gentle. His mum, Sarah, on the other hand was a very light brown with bits of white. His dad was the leader of the pack and their pack was called Full Moon. His mother was the one of only 5 females who helped with the hunting while the other 15 females looked after the cubs. As a cub, Rex was Adventuress and loved adventuring Amethyst Mountains.
One day in late Spring, Rex went out to the mountains with his best friend, Bella, who was light brown with bits of white, because he had found a new place. The place was a big, huge mountain âwhat is so special about it, itâs just like all the other mountains, snowyâ Bella said unimpressed
âBella, it isnât the mountain, itâs whatâs over the mountainâ shouted Rex as he ran up the steep mountain.
When they got to the top of the mountain, Bella stared down in amazement. She was looking at the most beautiful place she had ever seen. It had trees, food everywhere so they could never go hungry and rabbits to chase everywhere, it was brilliant. Bella and Rex played all day nearly, running, chasing rabbits and one or two
Coyotes.
A few days past and one time when they went to their special place there was a cave with dark, moving figures. So they ran to get a better look and maybe even go inside. They ran and ran until they saw what was in because when they did Rex and Bella just wanted to run back.

I felt the wind smack my face a I fell. I tried to twist right round but the wind wouldn't let me so I just turned my head and looked into the eyes. The eyes of my killer. I couldn't bare it so I turned back and then say the eyes of my once true love.
