I have been writing fantasies ever since i could wirte. my stories are growing better and better as i read and practice writing. i will post some stories shortly. along with writing, i love to draw. horses are my passion and my life- but i havent drawm in forever so forgive me im a liitle rusty:)

i walked into the dark clearing, the moon completely covered by clouds. A scream in the distance alerted me to danger and i lifted my nose, sniffing for anything. the scent of strong blood was on the air. fresh blood. i growled deep in my throat. wat was it? vampire? wolf ? a rogue killer? then complete blackness filled the sky and i was momentarily blinded. as my eyes adjusted i saw the most horrific sight i have ever seen. a scarred face, more scars and bone than anything else... i could see the muscles work completely on one side of his face where all teh skin was gone.. where he had skin it was paper thin and ghostly pale. it laughed... more of a screech than anything else... i was paralyzed qwith fear. i knew i should call my friends, but the blackness confused me. i didnt know which way to go... i spun, but it was in front of me again, swinging a black jeweled sword at my nose. i yelped and jumped back, growling, i leapt for its sword arm. tearing into it i jumped back again,. it tasted like death, like a corpse, and it DIDNT BLEED, i yelped, not knowing what to do. swinging again, itswiped hard at me, and i leapt aside, panting now. it swung again and again, and i was tiringfinally i gave up, gruitted my teeth and leapt at its chest, my fangs bared in a deadly grin. i tore out his throat, and he looked stunned from what i could see of his face. choking, he fought the oncoming death, and swung at me again. tired, my reflexes slowed, it plunged deep into my ribs and stck there, lodged between thenm and almost piercing my heart. i stumbled and fell, at the same time the wraith dropped from the sky...

blackness...thats alli could see... black everywhere...then pain... red hot sparks explodiong around under my eyelids. i couldnt move or breathe. stay with me a voice shouted... one by one my friends' voices drifted into my head... pup saying cmon u can fight this! nora saying hey rach its ok, were here, cait saying we couldnt do this without u, come back. i knew i must have been hallucinating from pain, as i was far across the world and no one was near me.. but i kept my heart beating, my cheast heaving with effort. an elf lady found me, and with her skills unlodged the sword. able to breathe easier now, i coughed up bloood qan d she rushed me to her clan, and thats all i remember.

when i awoke i was not in the clans hiding place, for after all they need to keep it hidden, but the elven lady was there. i thanked her profusely, asked how long id been gone. when she said months i jumped up anxiously, but she said she had yet another gift for me. she held out a pair of wings, beautifully jeweled and silver and blue in color. they flttered, alive without being attatched to anythjing,. she used a spell to fuse them on my back. fly in peace, and be well.. she whispererd. thank you. that wraith was meant for my clan. this is the least i could do. so i thanked her, and flew here as fast as i could, having missed everyone so much that was wat now pained me.
