The Owl
by Tate 
Lithe as a cat, the huntress stole through the woods, bow in hand. The bear, her prey, heard nothing. Then the lightning struck. The screams of the huntress, and the roar of the bear were nothing to the mighty clap ofthe thunder, and as dusk fell, for a single moment, the forest was consumed by complete silence

A Letter to Brian Matekwo
by Ashlea 
Where we live can't even explain our similarities. You and I my friend are one in the same, we just live in different countries. My name is Ashlea Brown.

Pirates

Arg! That's right, It's time to learn about pirates!

Majesty Gracie <3
by Majesty 
In this society the world portrays that everything is about money and fame. Like in music it’s trying to tell you that being hard and killing people and doing drugs makesyou cool and tough. Really guys? Sure the beats are catchy but how many of youguys really know what the lyrics actually mean?

Chapters In My Life
by Victory 
OMG! I cannot believe school is almost out. I am going to have so much fun this summer.

The Sacrifice 
by Helena 
The gunshots flew, there were cries in the hall, and then there was silence.

The Leopard Strikes Again
by Dharvi 
Sirens wailed as three police cars raced through the wet streets of London, water spraying from the wheels. The cars skidded to a stop and the men inside jumped out, slamming the doors behind them.

Privileged
by Aiden 
I was so certain I was about to die. My eyes had shut, waiting for the red-hot pain of the knife to end it all. There had been no time to move. I waited, but after a couple seconds, I realized that death wasn't coming. Not today. I opened my eyes to a scene that only happens in the scary stories my parents would tell me. In a pool of blood below me, I saw the man that had saved my life. Knife still sitting in his well muscled chest, right below his ribcage. Right below his heart. "Take this man and get him to a doctor!" I yelled to my guards. "He will not die on my watch!"

Fictional Story
by Diva 
I feel like I’ve just woken up from a dream, like a fog has been lifted. All of my life I have been working and trying to be the best but now it feels like I’ve got there. I am now officially a Kenyan national player.

Evening
by Emma 
To say my first day of freshman year was awful would be an understatement. To start my mom woke me up at 7:50, me not having time to do anything special put on an old shirt that had sweat stains and purple tights that I hadn’t worn since the 7th grade. As we sped down the highway my mom spilled all her coffee on my bag. Then I rushed into first period only to be greeted by the stares of the worst group of kids ever. Molly Reynolds, Jake Match, Ken John, Ruby Blue, and Ryan Hill saw me first, they smirked at me and my face went red.

The Runt
by Kenzie 
Deep in a dark forest, thunder was the only sound that could be heard from outside the cave.

Picture
Paradox
by Melanie 
“I said, get the hell off!”
I punched the Nick Walters  and he stumbled upon his friends who were able to catch him. He began to spit out blood and possibly one or two teeth.
The looks on his friends’ faces were stunned and they had no words for what just happened.
After wiping most of the blood from my nose, they must have thought that I was coming after them now. They all started to freak out and grabbed all of their stuff.

What A Hard Life

A few years ago, there was a girl named Jennie. Her family was very rich when she was a little girl.

The Real Tale of Eros and Psyche
by Hannahlee
It was a dark night, but not very stormy. The weather was nice with an inky black sky littered with eight pointed flecks of light, not a single cloud of smoke to be seen. A waxing crescent, golden with warm invitation to sit under her guiding light, slanted down into the yard. A warm breeze came through the large home, gently swaying plants and ruffling the fur of sleeping livestock in the nearby fields. Artemis pulled her chariot across the sky, Maidens following her.

Induction
by Kaley
Two days left; my life is about to change. The question is, will it be for the better, or for the worse? Instead of being almost as low as a human on the Knight ‘food chain’, I will become one of the strongest and most elite people in the world, even higher up than the Nephilium. I will become a Knight. The bravest of the brave, the strongest of the strong, the greatest of the greats. I will do more than I could have ever imagined. But I still have two days to screw it all up.
