I always knew there was something strange about his sister. She always played in the basement and usually never came. The basement was rather dark with only 2 lights, and had a rather old smell of dust to it. On the left side was all kinds of things you would see in the attic (they don't have an actual attic), from old picture books to old antiques and furniture. His sister never went over there for she feared that she would find something gross or dangerous. She would always play on the side with all the wierd old "magic" stuff, there was things like spell books and secret ingredients, she said she had learned some sorta dumb spells or something. Everyone thought of her as strange, wierd, mentally challenged, and stuff like that. But on November 7 of last year she showed everyone she was definately not crazy, she made Flurry, her cat, disappear and reappear. Ever since then she has helped many people through tough times.

If i woke up and found out my pet could talk I would be as happy as could be. I mean talking to animals would be pretty cool, wouldn't it? my cat, Precious, would have alot to say. She could tell me that she needed food or she could yell, "I want out" so some one could let her outside.Things that would be important to my cat would be food, hunting, going outside, and talking about everything and anything that came to mind. Everyone could have an actual conversation, (where it's not just them doing all the talking!) Personally I would love to be able to talk to animals and to be able to get their opinion on the world on how they see it.(Oh, by the way, my cat is the best so don't argue with me! She is like a little princess or an angle from the heavons themselves!)

When a reader finishes my novel, i want them to remember all the things that led to the climaxish part. I want them to feel that they need to read on and on, to feel excited with the characters and to feel a large pain when they finish reading my novel. I want the reader to want to read a sequal of the novel, i want the reader to be able to picture things as they are happening throughout the book. I want to affect my readers so they remember about the novel longer than they remember most novels.

A scene i could include in my novel, when in winter: Snowy, thin forest in Greenland. Where a pack of wolves have made a home out of a fairly good sized cave. the cave entrance looks like 2 rocks holding a sorta football shaped rock. there is alot of bare bushes around and small trees. right outside the cave there is a spotlight between some trees where you can see the stars at night. No flowers or sense of warmth anywheres. Looks pretty baren, you can see about a mile and a half through the trees, but it is winter.

1 of my favorite books is The Sight by Erin Hunter. The beginning is about Squirrelflight and Brambleclaw's 3 kits. One of the kits, Jaypaw to be exact, is blind so he knows of the hard life ahead. He cannot become a warrior unless he proves to everyone else that he is just as good as his brother and sister, Lionpaw and Hollypaw. At first he is given a chance to be an apprentice, along with Lionpaw, but Hollypaw has a desire to be like Leafpool so she becomes a medicine cat apprentice. About 1 moon later Jaypaw realizes he needs to be a medicine cat for he can see in his dreams, and they are  not normal dreams they more about helping the clan and of warnings for things to come. So Hollypaw and him switch places. At the end, which i know isn't the end of the series, Jaypaw is a medicine cat apprentice and the prophecy tells of 3 cats, which i think are the 3 youngsters, that have the ultimate power(s) that could help them rule the forest.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 My Novel (December 6, 2007)

 

 

Introduction

Once upon a time there was a wolf pack, a fairly small pack. There were two she wolfs and two male wolfs. The she wolfs were sisters, one pure white and was expecting pups, and the other was brownish red. The male wolfs were black, one of them having a white tipped tail. They all grew up together so they had a good background of each other. Together they planned to raise the pups to be great hunters and wanted eventually to have a larger pack made up of all their pups and the four original wolfs. However, they would soon learn that dreams do not always come true.

They all lived happily in the forest of Northern Canada in a large cave. Inside the cave was lots of strange drawings obviously drawn by humans long ago. The cave was picked for it's size and that it was passed down from the two she wolfs' parents when they died. Even though they were the only wolves, from what they knew, around where they lived, they still decided to hold borders.

These wolves never expected evil to reach them, let alone two of their own hold the same power the evil side has.

 

Chapter 8

Escape

The third day of being held captive and the eighth day of their adventure, Larka, Accalia, Nell, and Rara were still being held by Brak. Every day Brak would come and talk with Larka. He seemed more interested in Larka, rather than Accalia and the two little ones, he also was gaining her trust somewhat. Food was given to them the second day after Larka convinced Brak to let them eat, to their surprise tons of food was brought to them. Although guards surrounded them constantly, Accalia still talked about escaping with the little ones. She felt they did not belong there.

“Larka, you know you should be planning how to get Nell and Rara out of here. This is not a good place for them to be, and all you do is suck up to that loser. When are you going to realize he is just trying to take control of you so you can’t use the ‘power’ he speaks of and then he is going to do the same to the rest of us.” Accalia explained not caring if the guards heard her or not.

“He can actually be pretty nice, but you obviously can’t see that. If you are going to escape, then take Rara not Nell. You won’t get far and you may even get killed for all you know. Nell is my daughter and she will stay with me wither you like it or not.” Exclaimed Larka, “And Brak is not brainwashing us. He simply is lonely, leading a large pack all on his own.”

“You have totally lost it now. Thinking that creep is becoming friends with you, Hahaha!” laughed Accalia.

“Laugh all you want you’ll be sorry when he kills you for not believing in him to be able to make a friend.

“I’m soooo scared! You actually believe everything he tells you. He is not Brak, when someone told be of Brak’s death they also told me that his son was leading the pack now. That is Brak’s son, Talon. They look the same, they are the same color, same size and shape, everything. Now do you see? He is trying to be like his father, he is trying to dominate the entire wolf population. His father gave him his power when he died so that his son would have even more power than before,” explained Accalia trying hard to get it into her sister’s brain that they needed to get out of there.

“That’s his son? Why would he lie to me? Maybe you are right, in a way.” Larka said astonished.

“You do see. His is going to be even more evil compared to Brak. That is why we need to find a way to get back to Kar and leave this area for good. Don’t you agree with me now?” asked Accalia.

“I suppose, but how are we going to get out of here with all these guards?” Larka answered.

“That’s up to you, sister!”

Over the past few days, Kar and Keesta had become close friends, chatting almost every minute and Kar never even went on hunting patrols anymore. His life pretty much revolved around the new members of the pack. Keesta and Kuska had agreed to join along with Keesta’s two pups and Kuska’s three pups; seven new members total.

Convel and Hasha seemed to be slaves to the others, fetching water soaked moss and hunting all the time. Hasha hated how her father seemed so close to two wolves he just barely met a few days ago. She felt that he did not care for her anymore and that he was using her, but there was nowhere’s for her to go so she suffered with Convel making better friends with him. Nothing seemed like they would go back to normal. The fifteenth day was six days away, and they were not even exploring the property properly. So on the ninth day Hasha decided to take Convel and explore together, then leave a few days later to meet the rest of the pack.

“We shouldn’t be doing this, it’s to dangerous. What would Kar think if I went up to him and told him is daughter is dead?” asked Convel who was not really into the whole idea.

“He won’t care, he’ll just go on living his life as though nothing happened. I don’t even think he remembers that we are suppose to be exploring, he probably doesn’t even remember who the my mom and the others are he is so obsessed with the ‘new members” Hasha exclaimed.

“Well I guess I can’t blame you for thinking that, with everything that’s happened in the past nine days. So I suppose we better start by going back and resting up so we can leave early before they get up. C’mon, let’s go.” Convel said running back towards the den.

The next morning Hasha woke long before sunrise and woke up Convel so they could start their journey together. They had decided to start by circling from the south, to the east, to the north where the strange wolves had been until they left. When they left the den, none of the others even stirred so it was a good time to leave. Convel decided to lead so that they would not get lost. At first they walked then Convel picked up the pace and ran at Hasha’s fastest speed. Together they ran towards the southern border of their original territory.
