New Character

I have updated the characters found in the story "Halo and the Kitties," since I have been given a Teddy Bear Hamster.  When given him, I have been a wreck deciding the name of him.  When we got him, I thought he was Chubby, but when we got home with him I found that he was just smuggling food in his mouth, so I wanted to name him *Chubbie.  But, then I saw him climbing up and down the miniature ladder in his cage, and he acted like a snake, so I also wanted to name him *Snake.  So, coming to the conclusion, I decided to name him Chubbie, and in the story have each character a code name for there organisation.  So, Chubbie's code name is Snake.  :-)

Chubbie: Teddy Bear Hamster that Jacob brings home from the pet store, soon becomes new recruit.  

Halo: Small female dwarf hamster, owned by Jessica Rosen

Doodles: Female cat, mother of twin boys Tammer and  Fluffy.

Tammer: Kitten; son of Doodles.

Fluffy: Young Kitten that went missing months ago.

Jessica: Loving owner of Halo, ten years old.

Jacob: Previous owner of Fluffy before he ran away, brother of Jessica; thirteen years old.

Rachel: Owner of Doodles, sister of Jacob and Jessica; fourteen years old.
(P.S. Tammer is the family cat, that is why no specific person (Jessica, Jacob, Rachel) owns him.

Halo and the Kitties

Looking at the new hamster my sister got - Halo - I felt a story bursting inside me.  So, I decided to write it down.

Here is a little something to get you excited:

Halo gazed into the new, mysterious world in front of her.       

I never thought it’d see the outside world, she thought.          

With a deep breath, Halo scampered outside.                                 

Halo would've never thought that she wouldn't see her house for a long while.

Hope that got you as excited for the story as I am!


Here are the characters from the short story:

Halo: Small female dwarf hamster, owned by Jessica Rosen

Doodles: Female cat, mother of twin boys Tammer and  Fluffy.

Tammer: Kitten; son of Doodles.

Fluffy: Young Kitten that went missing months ago.

Jessica: Loving owner of Halo, ten years old.

Jacob: Previous owner of Fluffy before he ran away, brother of Jessica; thirteen years old.

Rachel: Owner of Doodles, sister of Jacob and Jessica; fourteen years old.

(P.S. Tammer is the family cat, that is why no specific person (Jessica, Jacob, Rachel) owns him.

Drumans

I decided what I was calling my story: Drumans, because the story is when dragons turn into humans - Drumans.

Rough Draft

Here's the rough draft for the beginning on my short story.  I don't know what the name of the short story is called, figuring out names is hard when writing a story.  I haven't started writing the story yet. I'm waiting for National Novel Writing Month to actually start.

            

           

          Iua screamed in pain.

          “Help me!” she screamed.  “Please help me!”

          “I can’t…” George yelled.  “I can’t do it!  I just can’t!  We should’ve never married… this was a mistake… you’d… oh, Iua…”

          Iua screamed again.  “George… save me… save me… save the baby…”  More screaming.

          George couldn’t move, even if he wanted to.  He could slowly see Iua paling, and he could see the terror in her eyes, and all he could do was watch her.  She was dying.

          “I can’t help you, Iua,” George breathed. 

          “The baby… save the baby…” Iua’s breath was slowing.  “You let me down…”

          She started drifting away.  Farther… farther… farther… now, nothing.  Darkness.

          George shot upright, sweating and breathing heavy.

          In, out, in, out, in…

          He looked down at his right to his wife.  She was asleep, peacefully asleep.

          A dream, he breathed.  Of course, when he breathed a huge puff of smoke sputtered out.

          It almost freaked him out.  Almost.

          It had seemed so odd, his dream.  When he breathed he hadn’t breathed smoke, or fire, or lava.  He just breathed… normally.  Like a human.

          George sighed, releasing another puff of smoke. 

          Human.  HA!’

          Of course he wasn’t a human.  He was a dragon.  A Byzantine Dragon, yes, a descendent from the great Byzantine Empire! 

          George was glad of himself for that, being a Byzantine Dragon instead of a Valoa Dragon.  He hated them.

          George looked down at his wife.  Well, not all of them.

          George’s wife – Iua – was a Valoa Dragon, before they’d met.  They’d instantly fell in love.  Three months later, they were engaged.  No one knew, of course, besides George, Iua, and Iua’s brother, Jishab.

            They snuck out of their dragon camp at night to meet up.  Every night for five months, and now Iua was pregnant.

          The color from George’s face drained again.  His dream.  She was dying in childbirth.  It had seemed so real.

          His thoughts were interrupted by his wife moaning. 

          She looks so peaceful, he thought as he looked down at her, smiling.

          His wife moaned again, a little louder.  Suddenly, her eyes popped open, glaring up at George.  The next few words changed George’s life forever.  “It’s time.”

-That's just the rough draft, I'm hoping to make the beginning better, but the characters change from George to his sons soon.
