The gun went off again. Cameron and Shawn ran for their lives, attempting to escape from whoever was playing a game of cat and mouse with them. The boys sprinted as hard as they could through the thick bush and the darkness that surrounded them. Shawn dodged a tree that suddenly appeared in front of him, but then tripped over a moss covered tree that lay rotting in the rain covered soil. He scampered to get up as another gunshot went off, this time closer. “Get up!” Cameron shouted as he placed his dirt covered hands under his arms tossing him to his feet. Shawn sprinted forward not caring who or what was behind him. Cameron grabbed ahold of Shawn's forearm and tugged him, turning him towards a steep declining hill. Cameron lunged forward, racing down the hill trying to find safety. Shawn followed but tripped and tumbled, and hoped the the scattered leaves on the wet ground would cushion his fall when he had reached the bottom. Once he reached the bottom Cameron grabbed his hand and tugged him behind a lifeless tree. Cameron placed his hand over Shawn’s mouth as they slowly sat with their backs against the tree hoping that they couldn’t be seen. “Be quiet,” whispered Cameron. Shawn detached Cameron’s hand from his mouth and spit toward a broken stick that lay a few feet from him. “This is your fault!” Shawn whispered angrily.

Most impressive rank: 1 - Fairytale *** Casey is all alone in the werewolf world, the only family she has left is her crazy dad. her mum died of cancer, causing her dad to go crazy and start beating Casey. What's worse is that she can't get away from the violence because when she goes to school they do the same. *** I close my eyes so I could listen and smell everything in case this was the last time I would ever be in this beautiful forest. I chase away any bad or worried thoughts because this place seemed so sacred it did not allow them. I breath in and catch the sweet scent of lavender flowers that speckled the ground in little clumps and the dry smell of dirt that hadn't been rained on in a couple of day. I listen to the steady titters of birds as they fly from tree to tree, collecting little twigs and leaves to build their nests with. I listen to the buzz of the bees greedily feasting on the flowers that scattered around the dry forest floor. I open my eyes to take in the scenery, rays of sunlight filter through the green canopy, penetrating through the leaves and casting a green-yellow effulgence over the ground that wavers as the trees rustle in the light whispers of wind. The crunching of dry leaves under my feet alert me so I cast my eyes to the floor and watch as I step on each individual leaf and dry twig, enjoying the snapping sounds that echo through the near silent forest. Gnarly roots dip into ground and twisted branches reach down, fingers grasping the air, as if reaching for me and I shiver, thinking of my father. I cast my eyes up to think of something else and instantly calm as another puff of breeze rustles the leaves on the trees and ground gently. I look ahead and notice the steady thinning of the old trees and run towards it, loving the feeling of the air in my air and clothes. I spot what I think is light dancing on waters surface and sprint for it. Then I break through the trees, making it to the lake.
