Here are a few of my unfinished ones, ones that I started along time ago when I was an ammatuer, so no laughing, but these are the terrible ones:
Exactly
“YES!!” my voice echoed through the thick salty ocean air. A flock of nearby gulls flew away. “WE DID IT!!” a laugh of victory spread through out the small harbor. “Yes!” I giggled. I swung my head around. “Pack your bags Reine! Get ready to go on a cruise around the world!” her mouth dropped. “Really?! You’re the best sister ever!!”
ReineMy best friend since FOREVER. Fun, creative, and a great sense of humor. She understands me for any reason, and is always there for me.
ElizabethMe. You’ll figure it out.

“Uh… a little help over here.” I called out to Reine as I was sitting on top of my suitcase, afraid that it was about to explode. “Did you pack your whole room?!” Reine joked hopping on my jam-packed suitcase. I heard a rumble from the other room. I glared menacingly at her. “Did you pack your whole room?” I said eyeing her room across the hall. She just stared at me. “Did-“she bolted out of the room with her dark brown hair flailing behind her.“I take that as a yes…” I said slipping of my suit case and on to the floor. I started to jet but then stopped, and flipped around towards my suitcase. After seconds of debating if I should go after her or make sure, that my suitcase doesn’t explode. “Pah.” I hummed as I turned around and jetting down the hall. My converses squeaked as they glided across the hard wood floors of the Camp’s dorm.
She ran into her room, slammed the door, and locked it. I leaped up to the top of the door frame and grabbed on, hanging above the ground. I kicked the door with my foot. “Open the door!” I ordered “NEVER!!!!” she giggled. I slid my hand along the top of the door frame. A key slipped into my hand. I fell quickly and silently to the floor. Kneeling down I shoved it into the key hole. It opened. I slightly pushed it. She yelped . “HA!” I yelled with victory as my plan had worked. “How did you get in?!” she questioned. “You’ll never know…” I snickered as she pouted. “Oh come on… tell me!” she begged. I smiled. “I have a key…” I taunted as I revealed my key, waving it in the air. “Give it to me!” she urged as she leaped for it. I dodged her attempt to steal it back. She leaped for it again. The key was whipped out of my hand. She grabbed it as it landed on the floor. “HA!” she celebrated . I sighed.

The soft breeze and the sound of gulls flying by made me never want to leave. The smell of the ocean was thick and salty. My suitcase rumbled as we walked around the board walk, waiting for the private cruise ship. We had entered the contest about a month ago, and it had been announced that there would be five winners. I wonder what they’ll be like… The way to win was the best story,-coincidence- and the topic was world travel,-also coincidence-. A paragraph was the minimum, and a page the maximum. Ours was a paragraph:World travel
The ancient cobblestone felt cold against my hand, as we entered the small tomb. The sound of footsteps echoed through the Amazon’s wondrous treasure hunts, just waiting to happen. My pack slightly shifted, and so did I.I toppled over, and into one of the cave like walls. A giant rumbling noise made me jump. The vast smell of dust gathered as the wall caved in, revealing the tomb of ancient treasures.I stared at it proudly, as both Reine and I, folded it up into en envelope
*****.
I sighed. The longing to stay here forever faded as the small horn on the cruise ship honked as it entered view. I inhaled deeply. Time to meet the other winners. As Reine and I approached the dock, three people, one of them I guessed to be our age, two older, were all waiting there. I stopped. What if they don’t like me? I though in fear. “What’s wrong?” Reine whispered to me as she looked back. I shook the thought out of my mind. I was over reacting. “nothing.” I replied as I continued walking.
The small fear lingered in the back of my head as we stopped in front of the boat. It was white, with a small line of silver edging around the side. It towered above us, maybe 45 feet tall. “This is the small cruise ship?!” I choked, sinking the brown hand rails and hard wood floors tracing the deck into memory. “We’re going to be on this for two months?!” I coughed. “WOW!!” Reine screeched as we boarded. A small hall to the left held the cabins. To the right, there was the sky deck. Straight ahead was a spiral staircase leading to the lunch room. Beside that was the pool and water slide. Couldn’t wait to use that. The faint sound of a car pulling into the harbor startled me from my scanning of the cruise ship. Couldn’t be important. Reine and I where led to our cabin, the third down in the hall way. The door was opened for us.
We gasped, for the room was gigantic. The walls where deep purple, laced with silver vines, curling around the room. Two queen sized beds with thin lace sheets cornered a small chocolate brown dresser at the edge of the room. To the right of that was a desk with a small laptop placed on it. In the corner near us was a small fridge, it silver shine dancing across the floor. The echo of the horn sounded faint, yet near. On our right was a plasma flat screen TV. Two bean bag chairs where flopped down in front of it. A small table with carved edges was placed in between.
My mouth hung open. I sighed. “Why does my imagination play with me now?” I asked, a hint of disappointment clinging to my tone. “W-what?! This cant be my imagination too! Its to real!” reine sighed. “It is to real!” a voice behind us made me jump. We both flipped around. “Each cabin is different…” one of the other winners showed behind us. “HI!” I yelled startled. She snorted. “Hi! My name is Reine, What yours?” reine chided. She sighed and turned around, heading for her cabin. “But-” I called as she disappeared from view. “It doesn’t matter… we’ll find out her name sooner or later.” Reine replied. I huffed. “I wonder who that was any way, she looked about our age…” I went on. She only thought about what I said. “well,” reine stated “Maybe we will get to know her…” she rambled as we trudged into our room, jumping onto the big beds. The thin lace felt soft, like how I always thought a cloud would feel, as soft as nothing I ever felt. While I gazed down at the lace Reine glided through the room, looking through every thing, studying it with close detail. A strangely familiar knock bounced on our door. I edged across the room to the door, wondering who I could’ve known from this ship. I regretted opening the door the second I did. There, in the door way, stood both Reine and my mothers, with both stern and angry expressions on their faces. I tried to shut the door as fast as I could but they stopped it with their feet. Pushing it open slowly, the crossed their arms. I turned around, to face reine. Her eyes bulged and she opened her mouth to speak, but nothing came out. I turned back to our parent, worried that they were here. “What,” I said before my mother shushed me. My expression changed from worried to depressed. We were in such big trouble.
*****
“Well,” my mother started. “How is you time at camp ‘Funion’ ?”she asked, tone filled with sarcasm. “Well…” I gave up. “We, sorta… won a contest to…” I stopped and blinked hard to keep from bursting into tears. I was so afraid what trouble we were in. “to go on a cruise ship…and with the cruise ship being two days shorter than the camp, we thought you would never find out and pick us up from camp the day we got back…not knowing where we had been…” tears flooded my vision. I coughed slightly into my arms, blinking tears back.~~~~ That one was called EXACTLY
Another story coming up, this is the worst of the two:
Freedom
Frustration swelled up inside me. “What are they talking about?” I pressed my ear against the door. I could just barely hear
“Hey Ella! Guess what I did! Ella?” Mike called as he ran down the hallway towards me. “Hey Ella guess what-huh? What’s wrong?” I turned around showing him my tear stricken face. “Ella…what-” Without letting him finish I ran down the hallway as fast as I could. The wall seemed to be swallowing me. I got to my room, I fell asleep sobbing on my bed.
“What’s wrong with her?” “She’s always been lonely.” “What happened?” “Well…” the foster lady whispered something too quiet for me to hear, then “What happened!!?” “I’m afraid so.” Foster lady breathed. I didn’t want to listen anymore. It made me feel sick. It felt like my heart was being ripped apart. I felt my pale cheeks turn red hot. Tears burned my eyes. I let them roll down my cheeks. Who cares about me anyway? I quietly stepped back from the door. I slowly trudged down the hallway.~~~
Yeah, they are pretty terrible, but I got alot better. I will post my newer stories tommorow.
Adieu
