Fantasy Post The III

Soren was nervous. She let her mount pick her way through the Brackamshire woods, keeping alert for any mysterious sounds. They were most likely across the Lunaland border by now and no knowing who ruled beyond that. It had been five almost six days of journey from her house, including persuading Hostis* to cross Butterfly River. Poor Hostis had miserably slithered out the other side to immediately start licking her sopping fur. CRACK! A noise snapped Soren back to the present. Hostis froze in her tracks. CRACK, CRACK! All of a sudden, Fern emerged on the back of a monstrous grey tomcat.


*Hostis means 'enemy' in latin. Soren named her cat that 
because the cat came from the Pixie's.

Fantasy Post The II

Soren had been gone for a couple of days now and Fern began to worry. To her relief, that night a triumphant Luna strolled into the hollow leading a tabby feline.
          "Soren!" Fern shouted, as she dashed towards her victorious friend. Soren stabled her new kitty-pal and pulled Fern excitedly towards their secret hide-out.
          "You won't believe it!" She whispered.
          "What?" Fern pleaded curiosity getting the better of her shy nature.
          "I've figured out were the stolen livestock are! The Pixie's have them! After we won the war between the Luna's and the Pixie's they slunk off stealing a whole herd of cattle!"
          "You stole a cat from the Pixie's?" Easily angered, Soren glared at her,
          "Since when did my friend become a critic?" She stomped away. Fern forlornly yet fiercely watched her mount the tabby and lope across the hollow


Do you think I am making her too stubborn and bratty? She does learn a lesson in the end, I promise. Please comment if so.

Fantasy

I started writing a story about mythical creatures called Luna's they are human shaped as big as a rabbit and have Luna moth wings. Soren is my main character with blonde hair and a silver head piece. She is a deadly shot with her bow. Here is the first part of my story:

Soren, the Luna, peeked through the scraggly underbrush and beheld a slim silhouette walking terribly near her hiding place. As silent as the air itself, she waited in suspense. Suddenly, a golden eagle, which is a Luna's worst enemy, lunged through the air, eyes feasting on the pinpointed profile. With the power of immortal speed she drew back her bow and shot, sending the dangerous animal reeling away injured and bewildered. The stranger wheeled around, eyes locked on Soren hiding in the bushes. Recognition dawned on Soren's face as she realized the stranger was her best friend, curly haired Fern.
           "Fern! What are you doing so far from the hollow?"
           "What are you doing?" She answered, just as surprised. Soren straightened herself proudly and answered,
           "I'm getting myself a cat." Now you have to understand, since Luna's are only the rabbit-size a cat is used as a horse.
           "A cat!" Fern exclaimed, "Women don't catch cats, men do!"
           "Well Fern, you have your brothers cat to ride on, so seeing I don't have a brother, I'm getting one myself.
           "Y-you can't!"
           "I'm perfectly capable!" With that, strong-willed Soren stomped off leaving Fern dumbfounded.


I have more already written, but that will be posted tomorrow. Please feel free to comment on things you think should be changed. Don't worry Soren doesn't stay as strong-headed through the whole story. :) Thank you!

Misc.

So, yesterday I went to post on my blog but got interrupted when Sam came in saying Benji hit a tree while sledding and wouldn't get up. SCARY!!!! Luckily, he's fine.(Just had to have three stitches. Other events: School, yes, Christmas break is officially over. I had to reteach myself some math. Tend to forget that sooner than other stuff. On Friday, we get to go to a Jane Eyre play and I can't wait. I just read the book and I loved it. Isaac, and I get to go with the moms, Christina, Rebekah, and Hannah. I wiggling in my seat just thinking about it! Okay, maybe not wiggling, but I'm excited. Hmmmn... other events... nope, can't think of anything else at the moment. Apologies for neglecting my blog!

Happenings

Sam enjoys grossing me out by showing me his cut toe. But other than that everything has been going well. We got our driveway paved on Tuesday and I go out every chance I get to rollerblade. :) My brothers are already bored of it and say, "You're going out AGAIN Ella? Can you do something else other than school and rollerblading?"
My reply: "Believe it or not, I really like rollerblading, and yes, it is within my capabilities to do other things."

Isaac's concert went very well on Sunday. We brought Grandma and Grandpa, Christina, Rebekah and Courtney. My fav. piece was: Ride of the Valkyries. It was AWESOME!

Favorite saying: 'i' before 'e' except... when you run a feisty heist on a weird beige foreign neighbor.
Love it! Bye. :) 

Sandy

I am asking for prayer as a huge hurricane is going to come really close to my Aunt's home. Part of the city has already been evacuated. They're calling the storm Frankenstorm because it's SO big! It's going to be hard of her to have to stay in for a while with a new born and a toddler. Thanks! :)
