Rainpath asked:


From original question. Kayla bit her lip, holding back the rush of fear that was making her heart race. Every inch of her body was ready for someone or something to come out and attack her. Wiping blood out of her eyes, she glared at the mass of trees around her. The forest around her was still and quite, only the sound of birds echoed of the vast landscape.

Kayla put her hand on a wound on her shoulder. Blood poured from it, and she gritted her teeth in pain. Her honey blond hair was streaked with blood, and her eyes were filled with anxiety. Using the last of her energy to pull a sharp thorn out of her arm, she slumped to the ground.

She closed her eyes, hoping sleep would find her. All her tension seemed to vanish, as she fell into a uneasy sleep. Kayla was walking though a forest, just like the one she was in. A flash of red flashed through the trees. The red flash got closer and closer to her. Panic chocked out her scream, as the red figure got nearer. She woke, up pain searing through her like never before. Her own blood was choking her, filling up her throat. She gasped for air and coughed up a tremendous amount of blood.

Pulling her hair out of her face, she screamed in pain and horror when she saw a thick knife lodged hardly a inch away from her spine. Wincing in a pain, Kayla slowly pulled out the knife, slowing the river of blood only by her hands.

“You didn’t think we’d just let you run away, did you?” Kayla felt a bony hand touch her shoulder. She screamed in pure terror.

A tall lady with red, curly hair towered over Kayla. Kayla stared at the lady who had spoken to her, he fear disappearing and anger and ambition filled it. She pulled her self to her feet, not letting the pain over take her. “What do you want, Helen” Kayla’s voice was raspy and edgy.

Helen laughed and raised her voice, her green menacing gaze meeting Kayla’s “You know what I came here for, you idiot!”

Helen placed her two bony hands firmly on Kayla’s neck and slamming her against a tree. She dug her sharp nails deep into her skin, until Kayla screamed in agony.

“You either tell me where you hid it,” Her voice was challenging, he green eyes filling with anger toward the young girl. She let go of her neck with one hand and ran it down the tree, leaving deep mark. “Or Kevin gets it!”

Kayla stared at Helen, her eyes filled with hatred. She knew what the lady said what she meant and her best friend would be killed if she didn’t tell her where the rare _____________ was hidden. She held her breath, trying hard not to show her terror. She wanted to save Kevin but the _____________ is what would save everyone else. She knew she could not tell her.

“Over my dead body” Kayla screamed.

Taking the tall lady by surprise she grabbed her head and jammed her head into the tree. Kayla took of running as fast as she could, leaving a trail of blood behind her. She heard the angry cry of Helen and the sound of her foot-steps close behind. Helen was going to find her and kill her, she knew it. All of the hope she had left her with one quick blow of Helen’s fatal nails. She closed her eyes, preparing for the pain of death, the pain she would cause her family and Kevin for not being there, she was prepared to leave the world, and everything she knew and loved. As long as Helen went down with her.

Sorry if it is long, please be honest and just to let you know i wrote it in like 5 mintues so it’s not my best!

Affordable Chicago trip, need suggestions?

Going to Chicago in November for the first time in 10 years.

I definitely want to check out the Lincoln Park Zoo, Shedd Aquarium (MUST), the Field Museum, The Science Museum, Sears (Willis) Tower, and the Navy Pier. All the touristy places, which normally I don’t like, but they were all fun for me when I went. I want to go to the Mag. Mile and a few other places.

I looked at the Go Chicago Card, it seems cool. Since there are a bunch of places there we want to check out. We’re either driving or taking the Mega Bus. Andd plan on staying four days, three nights.

We need it to be an affordable trip. Planning on only one nice, fancy dinner out the rest of the meals can be cheap. Would like to stay downtown. Could possibly be getting engaged if he plans on it.

Suggestions would be great, esp on that Go Chicago card.

Thanks

1.

Dawn layers trees in spindle branch
Dark…ember oranges paper clouds,
Dragging Gray into tomorrow…
The artist does not chose the colors.
They are already painted with ancient
Wisdom…peeking, hidden.
Wisdom drips seen.
Hearing is for the deaf.
———————————————–
2.

Hills of clouds, rolling soft beging mounds
Into Everest peaks…thunder a growling stomach,
Needing Lightning tidbits, black-seared trees…
Easy, quick, delicious crashes…
Needs no refrigeration.
———————————————————
3.

Day dragons huff fire thru dawn, syncopating
Levels, layers, loveable colors…hours scratch
Clocks, fire dampens, and day raises up into
Dragon wings.
—————————————————
4.

White grays grayer, cloud puffs, strings haphazardly
Sky morning into broken shards, glassy
Sky slivers.
—————————————————–
5.

Ripples dark, light pocking bayou water
Seething never-asked-for dawnlight.
Waters accept gracefully, winds high…
And water fights in towers, white-tipped.
These were written in the 30 minutes of peace I had, until all hell broke out at the bridge….just a normal day at work. HA!

You don’t have to read it all. Just tell me if it’s good so far. And thanks in advance(:

The chilling October air rattled the trees, raising the hair on my neck. The fall air wasn’t’ as welcoming as it had been earlier today. Instead, it slashed at my face, ripping the warmth from my body, leaving me freezing and hopeless. A crunching noise sounded from the woods, I didn’t know if I should journey forward. A long swerving road lay in front of me; cedar valley oak trees lined both sides of the lengthy path. No light shun from the towering light posts, yet they cast shadows and leaned forward reaching towards me, so they could strangle me in their arms, crushing my rib cage and blocking my airway. Further on in the distance, barely visible lay a gothic church tower. The picture of the sun setting, as twilight arrived and the fiery oranges and searing reds which began to die down and blend with the indigo of the night, belonged on a painter’s canvas. The sun was nearly down and the earth was soon to be engulfed in darkness as the creatures of night were to arise feeding on souls of anything living.
