  Camp Half-Blood Quest: Chapter Nine

  

  By Cat-Girl, Huntsville, AL

  "I don't see anything! What game are you playing at?" Matthias snapped. I glared at him, and opened my mouth to spit an angry retort, but Janet intervened wisely. "Maybe it's just for her to see. After all, we ARE demigods. Nothing has ever been that clear for us," she...

  Fabled World

  

  By Cat-Girl, Huntsville, AL

  I struggled to sit still as the announcer continued the speech that we had heard a dozen times. Each year, we had watched our older siblings and friends begin their journey to the Academy for Magical Users. "...and after you get settled in, you will all be assigned instructors to help you dis...

  Most people think that the result of bullying is either suicide, or self pity. Granted, those are some results, but there are more. When you are bullied and no one is there to support you, loneliness washes over your mind. The bully does his\her work, and leaves you alone. Then, when nobody comes to...

  Before and After

  

  By Cat-Girl, Huntsville, AL

  Before you came into my life I was just a normal girl But longing for a purpose cut inside me like a knife But after you came, my heart began to whirl I tried to pretend that it didn't exist; This feeling that I've never felt before, It made my heart twist Until I didn't know...

  Abandoned: Part VII

  

  By Cat-Girl, Huntsville, AL

  "Matthias!" I yelped, panic rising in my throat. "No, no!" I followed the blue beam that was sucking him inside a tube. I saw a button near the opening, and crazily dashed forward to the ship. Just as it was almost out of reach, I smacked the big red button and a door jammed down...

  Abandoned: Part VI

  

  By Cat-Girl, Huntsville, AL

  What was I thinking? How could he love me? In the years I’d known Matthias, he’d never shown me any friendship or affection. We argued so much, it was a wonder we hadn’t already torn each other to pieces. I had slapped him once, and he’d shoved me into a metal closet door. But now, he was ac...

  Abandoned: Part V

  

  By Cat-Girl, Huntsville, AL

  "Matthias..." was all I could utter, grinding my teeth as a figure menacingly approached in the distance. "Move!" he hissed, and shoved me away from the driver's side. I darted into the opposite end of the truck and we zoomed down the road, dodging unmanned cars as the Abom...

  Camp Half-Blood Quest: Chapter Eight

  

  By Cat-Girl, Huntsville, AL

  Awaking suddenly, I found myself lying on the front deck of the boat at midnight as wind zipped about. Waves were billowing below, but they had pushed me close to the harbor. Rubbing my sore neck, I stumbled to my feet and unsteadily steered the craft to a dock. Hastily, I searched belowdecks fo...

  Proof of Christ's Existence

  

  By Cat-Girl, Huntsville, AL

  The first I'm going to say is that this article isn't dissing any religions or beliefs. To the point-Christianity has physical proof of existence. Our universe is made of complex building blocks, so complex it's virtually impossible for it to just pop out of nowhere or happen by c...

  Abandoned Part IV

  

  By Cat-Girl, Huntsville, AL

  As we trudged through the snow, I searched for words to offer Matthias. But whenever I found them, my voice died in my throat. Finally, I stammered, "Um, thanks. You were amazing back there." He stopped and looked at me. "I never thought you'd say that to me," he commented...

  I Can't Help But Wonder...

  

  By Cat-Girl, Huntsville, AL

  I can't help but wonder Why so many people see In almost every teenager Such bad quality The elderly say That teens are arrogant and prone For our mistakes we never pay We seem to be worse than we've ever known The adults think We should act mature But be treated childlishly ...

  A Singe Leaf

  

  By Cat-Girl, Huntsville, AL

  As I sit, the golden sun's light Fileter through a tree's branch, A blue jay dives into flight, As horses whinny from a nearby ranch A snap of wind zips into a maple, Its limbs sway and sunbeams are swallowed by shadows, And a single leaf flits from its cradle, But alas, its sibl...

  Camp Half-Blood Quest: Chapter Seven

  

  By Cat-Girl, Huntsville, AL

  "Who-what are you?" I yelped, spooked. "I am the dark goddess Styx's...help, and you are going to be a just like your friends are if you don't do exactly as I say." Her shadow-colored hair was flaring out as if a blow-dryer were aimed at it, and she was garbed in Gree...

  Abandoned Part III

  

  By Cat-Girl, Huntsville, AL

  Now, having been in the same school with Matthias for three years, I knew all too well that he sucked at sprinting, running, climbing...stuff like that. He was awesome at basketball and sports that involved throwing things, but not kicking or running too much. Now, he was definitely NOT going to mak...

  I cautiously approached the door to my house, and tipped it open. My footsteps echoed in the unnatural silence, and then I whirled around when a the floor creaked behind me, my fist aimed at...Matthias? "Whoa, whoa, whoa," he mumbled. "It's just me, Elisa." "Oh my go...

  "Hey Brian," I call through the computer office. "I'm gonna take a walk. Be back soon." Before my stepdad could reply or say no, I darted out the room into the front yard. Lately, my life had transformed from an average life into a gloomy, dark swamp of depression. Mom divor...

  Camp Half-Blood Quest: Chapter Six

  

  By Cat-Girl, Huntsville, AL

  Obviously, the woman who lived on this boat didn't like sharing much, because the clothes in the bathroom were a tight blue t-shirt and some Nike shorts with price tags on them from a store. I looked, and saw $5 on the shirt and $10 on the shorts. And in the shower, the soap and hair lotions we...

  Camp Half-Blood Quest: Chapter Five

  

  By Cat-Girl, Huntsville, AL

  Water rapidly seeped through the thin fabric of my sack, and I inhaled as much of a breath as I could before becoming totally submerged. Shaking my arms and trying to move my legs by my thighs, I wildly struggled to move. But there was no one to aid me, and my calves and feet were useless. I was dro...

  Death...to Heaven or the Second Death?

  

  By Cat-Girl, Huntsville, AL

  Oh, surely I'm not condemned. The though abruptly appears in my mind as I can see a physical, ebony figure flapping its wings of death towards me. The moment I lay eyes on it, silence blocks out all the chaos about me. The Nazis yelling in their foreign tongue as they pepper bullets from their ...

  By Cat-Girl, Huntsville, AL

  I felt frozen, all the way to my core, and my stiff fingers could barely straighten out. Fatigue had wrapped itself around me, but I forced myself to crawl out of the pool. I had no idea why I wasn't in my cabin at Camp Half-Blood, but then all that had happened washed over my mind. I knew that...

  As bombs abruptly open up their firepower around me, men in charcoal colored uniforms plummet from the sky, and dash around the collapsing builings. They send shot after shot to people, and many exit this world today. What would've normally been a bright, gleeful day is now a loud, awful extens...

  Most people don't observe anyone. They just blab to their friends, and if they do see anyone, it's a person who stands out or is super fashionable. The boy with a tan and a Bieber cut. That girl with smooth (fakecolored) blonde hair and the perfect makeup. That's what most people noti...

  What is a Work of Fiction?

  

  By Cat-Girl, Huntsville, AL

  What is a work of fiction? That's what I asked myself a few minutes ago this afternoon. It's a story that is not true, that will probably never happen. But there's more to it, than that. Fiction is saying, "If." If this world I created, this would happen, if something else i...

  Camp Half-Blood Quest: Chapter 3

  

  By Cat-Girl, Huntsville, AL

  Something had materialized in front of the TV, out of thin air. I gaped as a bull was formed, standing on its hind legs with masses of dark gray hair clotted together. Its horns were enormous, and its eyes glinted evilly. I was meeting the Minotaur. I didn't dare alert it that Janet was here. I...
