Chapter 1 It was a sunny day in Africa, and Tigress, Carmel, and DJ were out for a walk when Carmel saw a very dark, mysterious, and creepy den. “Look guys!” said Carmel “OMG! A really creepy den!” Said Tigress “Let’s go in!!!” Said DJ (who was the dare devil of the group). “HECK NO!!!!!!!!!!” Said Carmel and Tigress at the same time. They walked home and Tigress ask them if they were going to stay for dinner tonight. “Only if there’s a vegetarian fish salad’ said DJ “You bet DJ! You staying Carmel? Dad?” said Tigress “On it said Tigress’ dad.” Ya of course!!!” said Carmel. They had a nice dinner and Tigress, Carmel and DJ had a sleep over. by Henry McComb
*Crash!* Flim woke up with a start. He must’ve been knocked out in battle, he looked around at the burning and smoldering coldstone floored prison cell he’d just escaped from. (He was locked back inside). He concentrated and summoned a holy beam through the burning cracks in the ceiling, he felt the usual warm sensation in the pit of his stomach as the god granted him a fraction of his strength. He thanked Tyr for the help and used his newfound strength to break through the door. The fire raging around him, he felt a piercing pain in the pit of his stomach as Tyr’s power was taken back. Somehow his elf guard was still sleeping as usual, (he knew his guard usually slept on duty because her snoring was the most annoying sound he’d ever heard) and so, he quietly crept behind her, gagged her, and threw her into the flaming and crackling cell locked it, and left. by Mina Holcomb
Many thoughts went through my mind, I am so confused. The temperature isn’t supposed be this low, not this cold.. I rush over to the thermometer with Snowy following me behind. But.. when I arrived, I saw something very unexpected. T-the thermometer was cracked, the screen was broken.. there were many shards of sharp objects, many sizes. I didn’t know what I could do at this point. I sort of freaked out, Snowy was sitting there shaking from how cold it was inside the house. I rushed over to the couch, grabbing the warmest looking blanket off of my couch and the rushing back to Snowy. I throw the blanket on her and I start petting her. I look around me, shaking nonstop.. I set my vision on her, then her ears perk up. She starts barking but there is nothing outside of my house, she must have seen something.. maybe it’s the voice that’s been whispering to me! Maybe that voice isn’t just a whisper, what if it’s one of my family members that are a ghost. Although, that is very unlikely for one of my family members to visit me and scare me like this. This isn’t normal for Snowy; I don’t think that any of this is normal. Is it!? I look around thinking of anything that I could do. I rush to pet Snowy because she is barking again.. there must be something or someone here! A few moments later I smell this horrid smell, I feel like I am about to pass out! For these last moments I was awake, I saw a floating figure. But, I didn’t have enough time.. I passed out. I woke up in an unfamiliar place but at the same time it feels so close to my house.. but that’s when it came to me. I am in the trapdoor in the attic, I’ve only seen the trapdoor one up there because I was too scared to ever go up there again. Then it finally seemed that I gained my vision back so I look around, I see Snowy sitting right by me, waiting until I get up. When I finally did it seemed like Snowy was so happy that I was awake. I was petting her and trying to look around this mysterious room and I still couldn’t tell what was in there, it was way too dark. I could barely even make out Snowy’s figure. But all I could tell is that Snowy was shaking and turning her head away from me. It almost seemed like she was trying to lead me to something. But that’s just stupid to think of. A dog trying to show me something!? Nonsense. But then I looked over to where Snowy was trying to “show me” something. What I saw surprised me, I-it was the same floating figure. Mumbling something to me, “I will only say this once, the only way you can get-” All the sounds around me stopped. I couldn’t hear the figure anymore, I missed my one chance on getting some information out of it, I failed miserably. by Catteylaya Kramer
On a Thursday like any other one there was a normal dog…. Well, ok it might not be a normal one. It has everyone wrapped around his fingers oops my mistake its paws. Every single time the dog gets out the house in his surprise every day he gets out, out of no where paparazzi, camera man/women surround him asking questions like: How did you turn into a ----------- and can you talk for us?? I think you’re wondering why I could not type what the camera women asked but I can tell you where it all began. In a little village a kid name Felix was reading his superhero comic book. Batman was fighting defending his citizens. Anyhow his little sister came in her name is Alex “Are you ready to go to the park now you’re taking too long.” Alex said, annoyed. “Hang on a sec sis let me just finish this chapter.” Said Felix. After Felix finished his chapter, he got up changed and went downstairs. “Okay NOW I’m done.” He said “Finally, it took you long enough.” Alex said. TO BE CONTINUED by Henry McComb
