Lacey's Draft #2

Skins Fanfic

So I decided to change the last half of my fic and took Cassie to the diner instead of her old house as I wanted to bring more of her previous relationship back into the story as well as bring Sid himself into it quicker (even if only briefly at this moment in time) which I couldnt do with the last draft due to the word limit.

Her heels of ruby red clacked melodically as she strode down the concrete sidewalk, light as always, as though her small frame had been caught in one of the mid-autumn gusts which whirled about the streets, and rustled softly through the golden trees. It had been a long time since she had walked these familiar roads, years in fact, and yet everything seemed to be just as she had left it. The old brick houses, the dreary British sky above, and to her left, the store from which she remembered so long ago cheekily stealing a scarf that she had quite fancied. Where that scarf was now she did not know. She guessed she'd given it away some time ago. She never kept clothes for too long, she always loved giving them away once she'd outworn them, setting them free into the world so that they could live out some fantastical adventure in exotic lands. She imagined now, that knitted wool scarf, twirled around the neck of some beautifully elegant woman, in France perhaps? Yes, France she decided. She could picture her now, sitting on her balcony, a fragile china teacup balanced between her thumb and forefinger, long black hair blowing gently in the wind. How romantic she thought. She'd always wanted to go to France. That would be her next destination. Of course she'd been to a lot of foreign countries since she'd left. Peru, Cambodia, Russia, she particularly enjoyed Japan. The outrageous clothes and colours had made her eyes bulge and her heart swell. Oh how she loved colours. Yellow was her favourite, and orange, and pink, anything bright and cheery that made her lips smile. How she loved to smile.

She couldn't wait to see Reuben, her little Reuben. She imagined he must be so big by now and just as greedy as ever. Her mum and dad would be so glad to see her also, she hoped. She felt guilty that she hadn't said goodbye, or that she'd not spoken to them since. She didn't mean to leave so unexpectedly, but she did. She had to do it. It's not like there was much to stay for anyway. No one had needed her. No one had wanted her. Not even him. Not even Sid...

At the thought of the boy she was once so in love with, her chest began to ache. Why had he not wanted her, what was wrong with her? Was she not as pretty enough? Not as pretty as Michelle? She was definitely thinner, that much gave her some satisfaction. She'd beat Michelle at that at least. She never did understand it, it's not like Michelle had wanted him back anyway, why didn't he see that, why didn't he see how much SHE wanted him. NEEDED him. Her head became flustered. Why was she thinking of this again? After all these years, after all the distance she'd put between them so as to forget the boy who broke her heart, it seemed as though coming back home meant coming back to heartache.

She shook her head, long wavy tresses of gold tousled about her shoulders as she did so and fell still about her face. She looked into a shop window as she passed, her reflection looking back at her. She hadn't changed much she supposed. Her hair was still the same blonde if only slightly longer and slightly wilder. She dressed much the same, a vintage yellow dress with touches of lace, hung off her petite body. Not much protection from the slight chill in the autumn air. She knew she should have worn her cardigan. Thick white tights adorned her legs which disappeared into her ruby red heels. She was just a tiny as always. No weight lost, but no weight gained either. She was pleased about this. She imagined the others would not be if they could see her now. Especially not Sid. He never did like it when she starved herself. Not that she needed to worry herself with such thoughts now, the others were all long gone, just like she herself had been up until now. No need to concern herself with thoughts of awkward encounters or explanations of where she'd been for the last four years. They wouldn't care anyway. They'd probably forgotten all about her, moved on with their new and exciting lives filled with new and exciting people. She couldn’t help but wonder what had become of them all. Where they were now, what they had become. Especially him...

She continued on down the streets she once called home, her light brown eyes drinking in all the memories which surrounded her. Lost in her own thoughts of nostalgia she came to a sudden halt. At first she stood confused, unsure as to why she had stopped, then regaining her focus she looked at the small diner before her and she knew. She had been there so many times before. Rarely had she ever eaten a meal there though. She preferred to sit and observe the people around her. Going about their lives. Eating their cheeseburgers and fries drowned in ketchup, without a care. Without guilt. She would sit, and watch, and wish. Then when she could watch no more she would leave. Only a salt and ketchup smile remaining at the table which she had sat. She also remembered the times she’d spent there with her beloved Sid. She pressed her face to the diner window, hand held above her eyes to shield them from the stinging glare which reflected off the smeared glass. It looked just as it always had. It was as if it could have been four years ago, and for a moment, she revelled in the thought. Her favourite memory flooded her mind, the kiss she and her Sydney had shared here. It wasn’t their first kiss, but it was her favourite.

She scanned the room, her target being the table at which her cherished memory occurred but as she reached her destination her eyes landed upon a face. That face. That face which made her heart begin to pound. What was he doing here? He wasn’t supposed to be here… She panicked. But only briefly, as those thoughts were wiped blank when she saw . Saw that face that she had loved so much, lean over, and saw those lips, those soft pink lips, kiss another’s that were not her own. And in that instant, her pounding heart broke into a million tiny shards which pierced and stung her whole chest and left her breathless.

The Alliance needs a lord.

After many battles with adventurers and Enemy alliance Lords the predator alliance became very large and soon it became apparent that Lord John needed an aide to govern them. He sat on his throne and pondered in his large stone castle. “There needs to be a way to choose from my most active alliance members to be my aide. If I fail, coordinating attacks and support amongst our people could be haphazard and inefficient. This may get my alliance swallowed whole by another and all my work will perish”.

Lord Consolex a travelling conqueror from the far allied lands was making a visit to the kingdom for lithium crystals a fuel for dark magic. He was not a favorite to the alliance lord. He dabbled in dark magic and conquered lands with undead zombies and demons not beasts or men as Lord John did. None the less they fought for the same cause to unite all the alliances and capture all the towers. LordJohn rose from his throne and made haste to the market to seek what advice a dark lord could offer. Not because he was out of options he just wanted another’s opinion on how to keep their alliance stable.

Lord John is a burly, robed beast user with a big beard. His Gold plated armor werewolf bodyguards stationed at the castle marched behind him as he went for a short walk into his coble stoned imperial city. Not by horse. Beast users only ride mounts into battle. Lord John arrived at the market. He spotted Lord Consolex hitching his flying demon mount outside an old rundown building with the sign “Demonkillers wonder emporium of Darkmagic”. "Good Day Fellow Lord” he shouted. Lord Consolex wore black gothic knight’s armor with a long crimson cape that nipped around his calves. The cape bore the insignia of The Predators, a large dragon consuming a castle in flames. Underneath it is a smaller insignia one of a skull with ruby eyes. This insignia is worn only by those who can use dark magic.

Consolex turned his head and returned to hitching the mount before walking over to Lord John. “Good day” he said not in the typical hissing voice that you would expect from a dark lord but in a cheery british accent.

“What can I do for you Lord John?”

“Well” Lord John shuffled his robes. "I wanted to ask you for your opinion on choosing an aide for the Alliance what say you?”

“Hmm” Consolex pondered for a moment “Well the logical thing to do is to split governance depending on region. For example the western region will have a leader typically the strongest presence in that region and he will look after those in his domain and so forth. This will create a hierarchy to you and will improve effectiveness in coordinating alliances for War”

"That’s a great idea!” Lord John squealed in glee.

“However” Lord Consolex raised his finger. "I propose a game for the leading strongest members to determine who your direct aide becomes”

Lord John was baffled. “What kind of game are you proposing?” Consolex scratched his nose and sniffed “Well it’s it a simple game….”

“For this Game let’s select three of our top candidate lords. The first being Lord Demonkiller the owner of this wonderful emporium. Consolex pointed to the sign. "The next is Lord Deathbro and Skullbombs."

“These lords have unusually similar interests to you Lord Consolex” Lord John Chuckled.

“Well they are all your best alliance members bar me. It seems the dark arts favor your endeavor. The game is called skull rush. The game is to secure as many Lower Alliances in 1 year of campaigning. Whoever has conquered the most will become your aide.”

“Well that is a long time to wait for an aide good lord. I cannot wait that long when the kingdom needs an aide soon." Lord John grumbled. The large werewolf’s behind shuffled in their clanking armor in agreement.

Lord Consolex went back to pondering.

“Ahah I know! How about we get the candidates together and play extreme Rock, paper scissors?!! "

Lord John stroked his beard and replied “Lame”

“No seriously this is a famous game in the wilderness lands for resolving tribal conflicts. This is how it is played. First we take the three candidates and strip them to their undergarments and rub tribal paint on their faces. Second we put them together and they have a battle royal in rock paper scissors. The loser gets struck unconscious from a large burly man if I remember correctly. Ah we can use one of your werewolves? The biggest one you can find. The last man standing wins." Consolex grinned.

Lord John skipped a loose stone on the foot path with with his foot and sighed deeply. “Well at this point I’m willing to give this a go. Very well we will summon the candidate alliance lords for extreme rock paper and scissors. “

3 days later…. The Alliance lords were summoned to the Lord John's Kingdom.

The alliances lords arrived and were placed into the middle of the market square where onlookers good bid audience to the alliance lord’s game of natural selection.

Lord Consolex and John watched from two large thrones and were pampered by Lord John’s servants. A large werewolf with ripped muscles and nothing but a loin cloth towered 3 feet over the three candidates grinning with anticipation to hurt something.

The three candidates stood there poised at the ready, When Consolex mentioned what they were doing none protested as this was their chance to best the alliance.

The air was hot the sun was sweltering. The crowd of onlookers were silent. The warewolf was grinning and baring sharp stained teeth. The game was ready to begin.

Lord John twirled his finger in the air and shouted“ Ready!... Start!”

The candidates chanted “Rock paper…. Scissors! ” Skullbombs went scissors and the other two tied with rock. Skullbombs knowing he had lost glanced up nervously at the drooling beast before he was knocked 6 meters into a wooing crowd of spectators’… unconscious. The two remaining contestants gulped.

Lord John chirped “Waho boy do I love this game now! No draws from now just sudden death.” Lord Consolex was about to say “we have to have one winner.. " before being abruptly interrupted with “Ready!.. Start!”

The two candidates chanted "Rock, Paper….." The crowd echoed their chant. "Scissors!" The two both chose Paper and the Beast of the werewolf laughing wildly double punched them into the spectators.

“Woops” Lord John said scratching his head. "I should have thought that one through. Balderdash Consolex I make you alliance aide. Anyone who makes games this good wins my favor."

Consolex felt mixed and that this day went pleasantly well for him. He smiled and replied

“ Yes my lord”.

The Wonder Boy draft

In winter of 1930s in a small town far away from the busy cities there lived a family. An ordinary and simple family living in a time of hardship and living off the land. John was a farmer and the father of two children, married to Joanna his wife and childhood sweetheart. Mollie was the faithful and loyal dog.

Every morning without fail, seven days a week John would walk many miles from the house with his horse and cart and Mollie his loyal companion by his side. His wife every day would prepare breakfast for him and the children and often she would have to take John his lunch as he was always more concerned that the children had eaten.

As usual Sam could hear his mother calling him. “Come on Sam, get up its time for school” said his mother. Sam lay a little longer in bed and thought school was the last place he really wanted hurry up and go to.

Sam is twelve years old and attends the local community school with his sister Sara. She was two years younger than Sam and always looked up and admired her big brother, most of all because Sam possessed something special that no one else knew about except her and her parents.

There had always been something special between Sam and his mother. A bond and a way of speaking with one another without words.

There is a distance between home and the school they go to. One day on the way Sam and his sister meet another boy his name is Mathew.

On the way Sam suddenly stopped walking then his sister and Mathew slowed down and wondering why he stopped. As they looked up at the sky they saw dark clouds swirling above Sam is head.

“What’s happening Sara” yelled Mathew as he was feeling scared and shocked at what he was seeing.

“Don’t worry just be quiet” said Sara. This was not the first time Sara had seen something like this happening to her brother. She knew that her brother was extra ordinary kid and had super natural powers.

After short time the cloud disappeared from around Sam. “What happened Sara” said Mathew. “Don’t talk about it to anyone” said Sara. They kept walking to school as though nothing had happen.

At school Sam would spend most of his free time alone and away from the other kids. Even though he was doing well at school he didn’t want to be there. Sam had the ability to control the natural elements of nature. These being air, water, fire and earth. For him being at school only meant that he had to hide his power even when he was being bullied.
Charlie was known as a bully and angry kid amongst other kids. Every day he would pick on Sam by annoying him and calling him “the wonder boy”. Charlie was saying that because Sam was always setting alone and never playing with the others.

It was a terrible stormy weather when Joanna who was pregnant with Sam and was walking to take lunch to her husband working in the fields. Suddenly she found herself surrounded by swirling wind and dark clouds forming around her head. She heard a voice telling her that her baby when born will possess the power to control the elements of nature and was chosen to help mankind.

One day at school Charlie was picking on another kid by calling him names and pushed him down to the ground. Sam who was watching couldn’t sit and do nothing any longer. He stood up and yelled “stop Charlie”. Charlie looked at Sam and laughed saying, “what are you going to do about it?”

Sam didn’t say anything, but the ground beneath Charlie started to shake and vibrate like an earthquake and he fell to the ground. This was the first time that Sam had intervened and used his powers to show Charlie that he could hurt him badly if he continued doing this to others. Sam was disappointed that he had used his powers in this way. His mother had always taught him to only use his gift for the benefit of others, to protect them and not cause harm.

Sam ran quickly to the place he always goes to, to be by himself and to be alone. This place was very special to him since he was first taken there as a child by his mother.
Hidden in a mountain not far from his home was this place, a cave. In this place, a river flowed from a waterfall and he would regain his energy and his spirit would be lifted by listening to the wind.

The Karate Kid

This movie is yet another simillar themed Karate Kid movie that have been produced since the 1980s. The plot of this story is set with a young boy new in town from Detroit, USA moving to Beijing, China who is being bullied and beaten by the local children. As with the other movies he finds an older man who happens to be a Kung Fu master grieving from the death of his wife and child. This story again like the others portrays the friendship which devoleps and the changes to their lives.

Even thou the story line is predictable I really enjoy these movies including this one because the movies contain strong messages and role models about learning to respect, trust and love oneself and others. It is through the learning and mastering the martial art of Kung Fu that we can believe no matter where we go and where we live and no matter what the age difference,there is always a solution to a problem.

I recomend this movie to different age groups if they are looking for inspration about the journy of life.

Naruto and Hinata

I will love you no matter what:

This is the third review I have done on Naruto. This story takes the characters out of their ninja world and puts them in a high school environment. Naruto finds a mysterious girl locked in the backroom of the High School. The girl is Hinata, She is locked in this room for being too much of a danger in the outside world. Naruto communicates with her by sliding a note under the door. Hinata responds and is the beginning of their love story.

The Author chose good subject matter and their fan fiction became popular. However, I find it hard to grasp who is talking when there is Dialogue. I often have to back track over the sentence again to understand it. The author could make this better by spelling out who is talking when it is not obvious.

Resident Evil Romance

Resident Evil 4

Leon is hired as a bodyguard to protect Ashley (The Presidents Daughter). Leon is an ex veteran from the zombie outbreak in Racoon City. While trasporting her they are attacked by parasitical mind controlled human corpses when traveling through a abandoned village. They want to infect Ashley so they can get her to infect the president when she returns to Washington. Leon fights for his and her life in an epic struggle to escape these strange creatures.

Resident Evil Leon and Ashley:

This story takes a scene where Leon and Ashley are hiding out in a abandoned room in a castle. Leon can't stop thinking of Ashley and falls in love with her. Ashley falls in love with Leon and they both fight their thoughts to embrace each other. The Writer illustrates the feelings of love perfectly.

"Are you going to lie down?" she asked innocently and her voice was almost musical. That's when it hit him. Like a punch in the stomach. A pleasurable punch. "I…uh...uh...I…" He was speechless. Shots of pleasure danced in his veins causing him to bite his lip so he wouldn't yip with excitement. "Well?" "I…well ok." He agreed.

A couple of spelling mistakes here and there but other than that this was my favorite fan fiction. I only wished this writer did more.

Left 4 Dead + Dead Rising Cross over:

Left 4 Rising

Left 4 dead is a about a group of survivors who have to fight to escape a Zombie infested city. Dead Rising is about a reporter Frank who is dropped into a Zombie invested Mall for three days. He fights psychopaths and saves survivors to uncover the Truth of the outbreak.

This story takes place on the first stage of Left 4 Dead where the survivors are stranded on the top of a building and need to get to Mercy Hospital for a Rescue Helicopter. The characters introduce themselves and say their usual one liner before continuing the level. The Story is a good idea. The writer could have written more and it was hard to read as he did not put his writing into paragraphs.
