The Night - Original Writing

until night time. We all would camp out in the living, our parents would tuck us in and then it was off to bed. Sleeping peacefully until one of my cousins woke us all up screaming while she was sleeping. Night after night we had to deal with this. The following year I as well as all of my cousins anticipated the same thing. Peacefully sleeping only to be awaken in the middle of the night by shears of horror. But to all of our surprise my cousin sleep peacefully all the way through the night every

It was like any other show. A mixture of nervousness and excitement filled the air which, surprisingly, smelled just like the hairspray which hung over the freshly-curled heads of hair of the group of dancers which I stood with. The lights were dim in the side stage wing, allowing me to see only the silhouette of my friend, Jade, who stood impatiently next to me. Jade and I were dressed identically, both in glittering orange and red costumes. Her hair was curled into tight ringlets of thick black

SATURDAY MORNING WAS BRIGHT AND SUNNY and the children were up early eager to practice with their new gifts. They washed and dressed and crept quietly down the stairs. Mum and Dad were in the kitchen having a cup of coffee. 'Let’s see how well this ring works, ' Danielle whispered gently rubbing the ring on her finger. Immediately she faded from sight. 'Here hold my hands, ' came the disembodied voice. 'And be careful it can be very strange at first. ' George and Jessica felt Danielle grasp their

Bright green leaves weaved around each other in the warm breeze. Angela and I wandered through a field of green grass. Our strides silent against the soft ground while the waist high strands of grass tickled our sides. Behind us, Benjamin stumbled along. His awe filled eyes still fixated on Angela. The guard lurked behind him in a bundle, their eyes scanning the area. Ever since the Shape Shifter 's attack they had been alert. On edge even, a little snap of a branch would cause them to jump. One

When I woke there was a loud thud. I jump up. The room was pitch black and I couldn 't see a thing. I try to find the lamp puting my hand on the desk feeling for it. When I turned it on there was a scream downstairs. I jump out of bed pushing the box off the desk. I nearly trip running to the stairs. I keep my hand on the railing making it halfway there until I hear the familiar noise of ticking. The light downstairs was the only thing I could see besides a dark silhouette of man holding a woman

I felt strong arms lift me up and put me on my makeshift bed. I just laid there shivering. When I finally drifted off into a dreamless sleep it had been a few hours later and I had stopped trembling, only then had I noticed who pulled me out of there, Mike. I know I can count on him. I turned to face everyone else in the room and you could cut the tension in the air with a knife. Amanda was the first to speak or shout in this case, “What was that?! It sounded like you were dying in there Suzanne

Raven woke up in a cold sweat. She was panting hard with beads of sweat rolling down her face. “Oh thank god… It was only a dream.” She wiped the water from her forehead, but yet she knew something didn’t feel right. However, everything in her room seemed to be in place from what she could tell. The sweet sound of silence filled the air, of course it did ever since Robin installed sound proof rooms to block out Beastboy’s snoring. She smiled silently to herself thinking about the green fur ball

“I expect I shall.” He said with a grin. Sophia watched as he walked towards the dining room. His walk was unchanged with their encounter and she wondered how many other girls who talked to with such familiarity. “I see you’ve made yourself an acquaintance.” Sophia’s mother said. Sophia jumped at the sound of her mother’s voice. She had been lost in thought after her meeting with the duke. “He seemed agreeable.” Sophia nodded with agreeance. “Quite.” Her mother said with a stiff nod. Sophia

Surprising as it wasn 't, Night and Day were back out in the open air, stuffed in a crowd of nitrogen molecules. The whole lot of them were unpleasant to be around, since they were practically everywhere. But, the oxygen duo pushed on through, grumbling the entire time. "And here we are, molecules and cells, back out in the open after another exciting round of photosynthesis," Night said dramatically, in a talk-show host 's voice. "We went through it all, first as water molecules and then turned

That morning, the day before the Thing happened, I woke up to my room: a complete mess. Even just navigating my way to the door was a task that took five long minutes, and upon reaching it, I had to throw things out of the way to open it wide enough to slip through. Stalking down the hall, I noticed the mess that was in my little sister 's room. I snorted in disgust and walked slowly and stately (or so I thought) down the stairs. They were not gold-gilded or covered in velvet as I would have liked
