Get your fingers and keyboards ready. Warm up your imaginations. Here is the beginning of the story: “She deserves this,” Selene whispered, convincing herself. She crouched lower on the bough. The sprite twitched a few of her fingers. Long strings of spider silk were wound around them and woven through the branches. They shifted at her movements. She smirked as she moved out of sight, readying herself to wait until her unsuspecting victim passed by. Dew that had settled on the strands overnight gleamed. She was not letting this plan slip out of control. Not like the others. Minutes crept by in a silence punctuated by birdcalls and humming insects. Selene moved her cramping legs carefully. “And what are you trying this time?” The soft words crashed against her straining ears. Selene whirled around, nearly losing her hold on the strands, and faced the speaker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jode2771 Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Her Mother was staring down at her. "You are supposed to be at school, remember our agreement?". Selene nodded. How could she get out of this one? The Mistress at her school had given her one last chance and she was already breaking the agreement by being here... Her mother grabbed her by the ear....

MariJ Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 But Serena whirled and spun away and kept running... And, running... She escaped! But where would she go? Her mother was already on to her and would be searching and so would the school..

MariJ Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Serena ducked into an open door... She looked around - but no! It was too DARK to look around. Where WAS she? What had she done? Serena crept forward and bumped into someone. "Nice to see you, my dear", the voice said. Serena shook. She strained to see and suddenly remembered what was in her pocket. She reached for --- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MariJ Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 this was where she started out! At the tree with the spider silk wound around. Waiting for her victim. Serena wasn't an evil girl, she really just wanted to make things "right" and had a strong sense of justice. But, the vicitim had escaped and the trail was cold. What should she do?

MariJ Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Serena drew back even though she was invisible. She watched the postman walk up the path and upon the unlocked garden gate. Hmmmmm - so the key was NOT for the gate. What could it be for? Suddenly, Serena saw a small door half-hidden behind more bushes. It was in the basement of the girl's house so Serena was unsure of how to proceed or it the key would even open the door. Making her decision, she quietly crept forward, inserted the key and turned it - the door opened! Serena looked inside and took a tentative step in. There she saw ------ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jenna Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Selene spun to face the stairwell. Her heart was thrumming wildly, threatening to beat its way out of her chest. She scanned the darkness, desperate to find a place to hide. The room was bare save for the trunks, so she scurried to the furthest one from the stairs and ducked down behind it.

Jenna Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 thought to herself how foolish it was to hide when she was still invisible. Of course, the stone's power was NOT effective against everyone. There were certain sprites that could see things in spite of the magic, but why would one of the elders be following her? Her panic grew as she watched the dark figure, backlit into a looming shadow, start shuffling around each chest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
