Jeremy Renner - The underrated and upcoming superstar! Plus The Avengers Trailers and more!

2012-02-04T05:26:00.003+11:00

For those who don't know who Jeremy Renner is. He is a Hollywood Actor and Musician.

He appears in movies such as, Dahmer (which he plays the real life serial killer Jeffery Dahmer), S.W.A.T with Colin Farrell, Thor as the cameo of Hawkeye and 28 Weeks Later as Doyle the protective soldier.

But the movies he is most noticable is, is The Hurt Locker, The Town, Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol, and now will reprise his role as Hawkeye in The Avengers. He will also play new character Agent Aaron Cross in The Bourne Legacy.

In S.W.A.T

When I first found out about Jeremy Renner, it was in 2010 when my brother dragged me to the cinemas to watch The Town. I never knew who Jeremy Renner was back then, but I only went because of Ben Affleck. While watching the movie, I was in awe over Jeremy Renner's character! He was brilliant as the loyal friend and psycho trigger happy friend. Of course, I started to like him after that.

Later on, I found out that Jeremy was going to replace Matt Damon in The Bourne Series (but it was later until I found out he was not replacing Jason Bourne), I was sceptical. I thought he wouldn't be able to pull it off. That was until I saw Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol.

The Hurt Locker

I LOVE the Mission Impossible movies. I mean who doesn't?! I was in Singapore visiting family at the time when I went to the cinemas with my cousins to go watch it. I was pretty damn excited, and with good reason. Tom Cruise never fails to let us down as Ethan Hunt, but what blew me away even more was Jeremy Renner as William Brandt! Damn, he got even hotter in my eyes, and that stretch scene was just the most memorable of the movie. :) After watching it, I realised that Jeremy was just perfect for The Bourne Legacy, and I'm definitely going to watch it in the cinemas when it comes out.

After that, I saw Thor, and I loved that movie as well. Jeremy's cameo as the sexy Clint Barton/Hawkeye, I loved him even more!!

Then after that, I watched Dahmer, where Jeremy plays a psychopathic killer Jeffery Dahmer (true story). He played so good in that role, I absolutely loved it. He really knew how to capture that deep, emotional, psychopathic side of him. But because he was hot, I felt sympathy for the character. If anyone else had play Dahmer, it would be a different reaction.

Of course my obsession with Jeremy was just getting started. You see the very first picture? I made that. Yeah. I'm THAT obsessed. :P

Jeremy was also in a couple of music videos too. You'll all know the Pink song Trouble? Well he plays the hot cowboy Sheriff.

After much debating with myself, I finally pulled myself to watch 28 Weeks Later. I don't normally like Zombie movies, as I find them very badly made, but I liked this one. Well you all know the reason by now. Jeremy as Doyle, was just amazing, and made me love him more.

You should see Jeremy in S.W.A.T, HOT!

After that, I dragged my parents to see Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol in the cinemas. They hadn't seen it, and my brother and I wanted to see it again, so they eventually gave in and we saw it again! Oooh, yeah, I drooled all over Jeremy in that movie. Actually, I kind of want to watch it again now....

This is the stretch scene of Jeremy Renner, in Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol:

http://youtu.be/SWfPga6-UTM?hd=1

This video here, is what I made too. It's probably my best video yet I have to say.

http://youtu.be/s78B0nWKqos?hd=1

Did you know that Jeremy Renner could sing? Well he can!!! :)

If there is another thing I LOVE about a guy, is that he can sing. Let's just say, he melts my heart into a nonetheless puddle.

This video here, is from the movie called 'Love comes to the Executioner'. Jeremy sings before he is about to be given the lethal injection. He is singing American Pie. :)

http://youtu.be/cvK2FeaJQFA

This video is from The View, where Jeremy Renner played the piano (another favourite of mine, so more plus points for him), and he sings his own song called, "My World". I fell even more in love. :)

http://youtu.be/PVV8cSMh35U

And this last video is Jeremy singing with his family and his good friend Brother Sal. :) They're singing "Stuck in the middle with you,". :) That little baby there is Jeremy's neice. :) Jeremy is the one on the ground. :D

http://youtu.be/o5TXSqGnLto

Here are some upcoming pictures of Jeremy's latest movies.

The Avengers - He will play Clint Barton/Hawkeye, a superhero and part of The Avengers team.

The Bourne Legacy - He will play Agent Aaron Cross, who is left to pick up the pieces after Jason Bourne's disappearance.

And last but not least...

I made this. Both Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jeremy Renner had amazing inspirational quotes, so I put them together. The bottom one is Jeremy's and the top quote is Arnold's. :)

Here are The Avengers trailers! :)

http://youtu.be/1hPpG4s3-O4?hd=1

These are all the 'after credits' from the following movies: The Incredible Hulk, Iron Man, Iron Man 2, Thor and Captain America. All of these endings are what lead up to The Avengers.

http://youtu.be/rgKVcHdcOGM

So please comment about this blog post. Have you seen his movies? What do you think of him? I don't mind if they are bad comments, just don't make them too rude that's all. Which is your favourite movie of his? Will you see any upcoming movies of his?

PS: He might be twice my age, but I'll marry him in a heartbeat. I don't care. He's perfect!

Haunted Places in Australia: Port Arthur, Tasmania

2012-02-03T02:08:00.001+11:00

Port Arthur, Tasmania, Australia. Possibly one of the most haunted places in Australia and I was very lucky to go there on my holiday in Tasmania in 2005 I think.

Let's start it off. I live in Melbourne, Australia. Tasmania is at the bottom of Australia, in the early years of the tectonic plates, Tasmania used to be joined together to Australia. Since a LONG time ago, it has been pulled away, and formed it's own little island. Though, it is still very much a part of Australia.

So, how did we get there? Plane? Nah. We took a ship called The Spirit of Tasmania.

We got to bring the car along too, which was quite awesome. In fact, back then I have to point out, it was $20 altogether (going there and coming back) to bring the car. What a deal!

Anyway, we took off from Melbourne and about 8 or so hours later we docked at Devonport.

From Devonport, we drove to Launceston and stayed there for about 2 nights. After that we drove to Hobart. We stayed there for two nights too.

But what really interested me was the supposed Ghost Tour they have there. And then I found out about Port Arthur.

Port Arthur happens to be a small town with a MASSIVE history. It used to be a former convict settlement on the Tasman Peninsula. It also happens to be one of Australia's most significant heritage area and the top tourist attraction in Tasmania.

It is 60km from Hobart.

Now what was Port Arthur known for exactly? Well keep reading folks, you're going to get a historical introduction before the ghost story. It happened to be a penal colony, or in other words it was used to exile prisoners and keep them contained far away from anyone else on an island.

From 1833 to 1853, it was the place where the worst convicted British and Irish convicts were put. Since it was the British system, it was however quite very strict with their prisoners. Even convicts who had come to Australia, and re-offended there, were sent to Port Arthur. And boy, what a punishment it is.

That punishment system? It was called The Separate Prison System. It was a mix between physical and psychological punishment. Being run by the British then, they used had corporal punishment, for example whipping their prisoners, or more food was used to reward well behaved prisoners and less and less satisfied food would be given to those who weren't.

Many prisoners actually developed mental illnesses from the lack of light and sound. Of course this wasn't as expected, and this is how they built the Asylum right next door to the prison.

You think that was bad? They even made out that Port Arthur was inescapable, like Alcatraz Island in the United States.

Even worse, it Port Arthur also happened to be the destination for juvenile convicts. Many were boys who were even as young as nine years old! Of course, the youngsters were seperated from the main prison, Their punishment however, was stone cutting and construction. They built one of the churches, which picture I will show after this.

As harsh as Port Arthur was, prisoners even commited murders because they couldn't take it anymore. So, that's how they made The Island of the Dead, which is right near, but you need to take a boat in order to get there. The Island of the Dead was the destination anyone who died inside the prison camps. There are a total of 1646 graves on The Island of the Dead, but only 180 of those are the prison staff and military personnel. Only those two categories were marked graves, the prisoners were unmarked. Oh, and by the way, the staff and their families used to stay there, including their children.

NIGHT LANTERN GHOST TOUR - PORT ARTHUR

Now, we're getting to the good part! The ghostly part of Port Arthur. Now you know a bit of the History of Port Arthur, now we're getting up to the haunted part. As well as being known for being a prison, Port Arthur is also known for its ghostly encounters. Making it the most haunted place in Tasmania.

After reading about it when I was there, I begged and begged my Mum to go on the Night Lantern Tour. You can imagine just how excited I was. Especially being at night, when it's the most creepiest. Now the tour consisted of one guide holding a lantern at night, with one group of people following suit, being taken all around Port Arthur's most haunted places and the history of that place.

So we stayed there the entire day, and suddenly as time would go as fast as it could, darkness fell. Now at night, Port Arthur looks CREEPY! And I tell you, just by looking at those pictures before, you can just tell this place has a lot of history!

So the guide came to us, black-cloaked. Pfft, of course right? Make it more suspenseful. She held a lantern in her hand and gave two more to two people in our group. So we all gathered together and started walking. It was night, quiet and there was no wind at all. At the side I looked, and saw some idiot dressed up in white running through the trees. Haha, it wasn't a ghost, it was just to give us all a small fright before we started the tour. Crazy coots.

We walked again, and went to one of the houses where a preist was murdered in his house. Before we went inside, the guide told us the history of the place (My memory is kind of iffy, so forgive me). She told us that the priest was always seen walking up and down the staircase inside the house and also pinching people unexpectedly. She retold us personal experiences from other tourists who had done the same tour. She told the two people who had the other lanterns to go inside the house first:

"Because if they run out screaming after going in, we know not to go inside," Everyone laughed nervously. I think we were all a little freaked out. The two people, both females, were shitting themselves as they went inside. As they were walking inside, we, who were standing outside the house, were holding our breath. We didn't know what to expect. Was there going to be nothing? Or will they run out screaming? After a couple of minutes, the two came back out again and said it was fine. We all went in.

My heart started fluttering even more, it was beating against my chest. The suspense was all too exciting for me. We entered the house, and stood as a group in the living room. She told us again how the spirit of the preist liked to let them know he was there. My brother and I and my Dad saw this white man standing right next to the window. I mean, he was deathly pale. He even looked dead! We freaked out. But just a short while later, we found out he was just a tourist and part of the group. Haha, we were such fools, but it was a good adrenaline rush for a second.

Nothing happened in that house, so we all moved on. We stopped in front of another house, where a family used to live in. Apparently the story there, as I remember, was that someone would always look out the window and the curtain would move. I think my eyes must have been playing tricks on me, because when I first saw the curtain it was open, then suddenly it was closed. I think it was my imagination.

As the guide was telling us the history of the house, suddenly a massive bang sounded, and I was the only one in the group that screamed in fright. Everyone of course, looked at me and started laughing their heads off. It was the damn air conditioner outside the house, it had switched on (by the staff). I still remember that part haha.

We also walked into an old church, which wasn't that bad. It was still pretty creepy, but you got that calm feeling when you walked into it.

Next stop, was the Mortuary. Eeep! I mean literally, there was an autopsy table there, in a massive room. We all surrounded it and I was pretty creeped out. Seriously. I mean, this is where all the dead bodies were. All cut up and *shudders*

That's all I remember from the tour actually. No experiences whatsoever, but maybe you guys will if you go there. You never know. Other people definitely had experiences when they were there.

As we got back inside the building where the gift shop was, I walked to the wall and something caught my eye. They were photos. Ghost photos of what people took when they were on the tour.

Here some ghost pictures taken by tourists:

I hope you've enjoyed this blog post! Have you ever been to Port Arthur? Have you had any experiences there? For those who have never been to Port Arthur, Tasmania, I suggest for you to go. It is an amazing and truly creepy experience. You'll remember this for the rest of your life. Believe me. :)

My third promotional book cover

2012-01-12T05:00:00.000+11:00

Wow! It's been quite a long time since I've posted something on my site. I'm sorry for the wait everyone, I was away on month long holidays overseas and too busy studying to blog.

Anyway, just recently I started thinking, "I only have two promotional posters for my novel. Why not make another one?" So I did, and this is what I've come up with to help appease more readers and get them to be more aware of my novel.

Obviously if you wonderful readers have been reading my novel chapters of Murder Case: The Secret, you'll know that the main character of the novel is Selena Gordon. I'm sure you've seen my other two book promotional posters, if you haven't I shall put them on here again.

This is what Selena looks like, exactly as I invisioned her. The quotations are from the book itself and it tells us a forshadowing of bad things to come.

For those who have NO idea what my novel is about, I shall explain gladly.

Murder Case: The Secret is about a girl who is accidently caught between the supernatural world which entered her reality. She witnesses a murder on her way home from a party with her two best friends, but the killer isn't human. It's a monster, something which she's never seen before, only in horror movies. Her friends force her to keep it a secret, as they don't want to be involved in the murder case with the police. After another classmate dies, Selena goes on a journey that will change her universe forever. She goes on a hunt to find that thing, know what it is...find that thing before it kills again, or her.

Here are my other two book posters. :)

This was actually my very first promotional book poster. Basically it shows Selena on the ground, looking in horror up at the monster. Does that mean that she get's caught by the monster? Read my novel when it get's published and find out. That is what the monster looks like, folks. I hope you imagine it when you read my novel. It's pretty fun actually! :)

This was my second promotional book poster. Again it shows Selena, the main character of my novel. There are however clues in this poster which I included which refers to the novel. For example:

1. On the top right-hand side, you'll see a dark image which is nearly blended into the background. That is the monster upside down, part of it's wing is covering Selena's face. I will explain that symbolism in a moment.

2. The second is the gravestone. I purposely made the writing white, so you could see it properly. The gravestone is of Harley Groves, who is the character at the start of the novel which was the catalyst of the events which prompted Selena on her supernatural journey.

3. The third is the pentagram symbol, which is located right under the gravestone. This book as the symbol clearly states is about Witchcraft. How is it related? Read my novel chapters and you'll get the gist of it.

4. The fourth is the man in the trees. He becomes a pretty important character in the novel, and is sort of a guide and protector for Selena.

5. And the fifth and last one is Selena's face. Why is the wing of the monster covering her face, you wonder? It's to shield her identity. She doesn't want the monster to know who she is, she doesn't want it to find her. That's why her face is also blurry. She doesn't want to be seen by 'it', not does she want to be found.

Well there you have it, folks! My three promotional book posters for my novel, Murder Case: The Secret. I will be making more of course, and will definitely let you guys know when I've finished it. I'm sorry I took so long updating my blog, but believe me, that is not going to happen again.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows spoilers if you haven't read the books With movie posters inside!

2011-06-25T04:26:00.000+10:00

After 13 years, it is finally ending. From the best all time popular books to movies, it is ending. After growing up with it my whole life, it is finally ending. *sighs sadly* I can't even begin to express my feelings right now. But I guess I'll try and get it all out.

As it slowly ends, a part of me slowly starts dying in the inside. Like the rest of the world, who has grown up with Harry Potter and his amazing adventures and life, a part of us is ending too. For those who read my blog, will know that I am Harry Potter obsessed, I know every little detail about it, I have read the books more than 30 times each. That's right, EACH!

Okay, I remember reading the books when I was 9 years old. It was amazing, and I was a real bookworm. I fell in love with the book the moment I finished reading it. It became a part of me and the rest of the world. J.K.Rowling, you made my childhood as well as everyone else.

So, now it's ending, our childhood is ending. For those who have read The Deathly Hallows, knows exactly what happens. I wrote spoilers on here, because anyone who hasn't read the books, and don't like to be spoiled, I suggest you don't read any further.

For true Harry Potter fans who have read the book, read along and feel the emotions roll with me.

So...the finale. All the books have lead Harry and us to this point, this is where is all comes to. Harry leads us on a journey on finding the horcuxes, and destroying them all to finally defeat Lord Voldemort. But there is a catch, and he doesn't know it too, not until the end.

So what are horcruxes? It is a dark magical object to give yourself immortality. A part of your soul will get ripped out and go into an object or living organism of your choice. But there is a catch to live forever, you have to kill in order to make them, it is the 'supreme act of evil' when one commits murder. Tom Riddle wanted to live on forvever so much, that he made 7 horcruxes. That's right, seven! Imagine ripping your soul into seven pieces, and storing them in objects/living organisms. But by accident, he made 8 horcruxes.

1. The first Horcrux is Marvolo Gaunt's Ring. Marvolo is Tom Riddles maternal grandfather. In fact, Tom Riddles full name is Tom Marvolo Riddle, which he despises so much. His name Tom Riddle is the name of his father too, who was Tom Riddle Senior. It was already destroyed by Albus Dumbledore, hence why his hand was poisoned, which led to his death. It was first shown in Half Blood Prince.

2. Tom Riddles Diary. Which everyone should remember from Chamber of Secrets, where Harry saved Ginny. Do you remember when Tom Riddle was there? The teenage gorgeous version? That was a Horcrux, that was part of Voldemort's soul. And when Harry destroyed the diary with the Basilisk fang, it destroyed Tom Riddle too, hence destroying the Horcrux and the first part of Voldemort's soul. It's amazing how all the movies come together eh? And it was only the second one!

3. Helga Hufflepuff's Cup: This was actually shown in the book with The Half Blood Prince. But unfortunately the movie didn't show most of the most important bits. It was used as the third Horcrux, because Voldemort loves everything to do with Hogwart, it was like Harry, his home, a place where he could be himself. And having a part of himself in one of the founding members, was priceless. Literally. I have no idea how they are going to mention it in the second part of the movie, but we'll see.

4. Salazar Slytherin's Locket: This locket was first mentioned in Order of the Phoenix (a heavy locket which none of them could open), but it was shown in The Half Blood Prince when Harry and Dumbledore went to the caves, across the inferi-infested waters, and found the locket in the poisoness basin. There was a letter inside from Regulus Black (Sirius's older brother who was a Death Eater) saying that has destroyed the real locket, and replaced it with a fake. So that was also destroyed.

5. Rowena Ravenclaw's Diadem: Another object from one of the founding members of Hogwarts. It was her tiara. It is first mentioned in passing in The Half Blood Prince, when Harry goes into the Room of Requirement to dispose of the Potion's book from Snape, it is mentioned as 'an old discoloured tiara,".

6. Harry Potter. Yes, he is a Horcrux. It was an unintentional act done by Voldemort. He himself doesn't know he made Harry a Horcrux. It was the night he killed Lily and James. He was intending to make a Horcrux by killing 'The Chosen One', but instead the killing curse backfired, and when Voldemort was torn apart, a piece of his soul went into Harry. Hence, why Harry Potter can speak Parseltongue, see into Voldemort's thoughts, know what he is feeling. Throughout the whole series, the reason why Harry's scar hurts, is because of what Voldemort is feeling, and that piece of soul inside of him wanting to go back to it's master. When Voldemort tried to kill Harry again near the end of The Deathly Hallows, he killed a piece of himself, by accident. A false move from the infamous Tom Riddle.

7. Nagini: She is Voldemort's most beloved organism. She is his snake. She is destroyed by Neville with Godric's Griffindor's sword.

8. The 8th and final Horcrux is Voldemort himself. That last piece of soul inside of him. Destroy the Horcruxes, finish off Voldemort for good.

As we grew up with Harry Potter, we feel what he feels, we see what he sees, all our senses tingle with Harry James Potter. That sounds stupid, but that's how obsessed I am. I know so much about it, it makes me happy just knowing I have grown up with this.

The Deathly Hallows. Of course anyone who has read the book and seen the movie will know what is about.

There are 3 Hallows.

1. The Elder Wand.

2. The Invisibility Cloak.

3. The Resurrection Stone.

All three are seen throughout the whole series of Harry Potter. For those who haven't seen the movie or read the books will be shocked. All three objects together, will make you the most powerful Witch or Wizard in the entire world.

I'm gonna show you some really epic and funny pictures for Harry Potter. Enjoy Potterheads!!!! :)

Harry: "You'll stay with me?" - James: "Until the very end,"

Possibly the most awaited scene in the movie EVER! Seriously, this moment is so iconic and heart-stopping, I'm pretty sure everyone including myself is going to be bawling their eyes out at this scene.

R.I.P Fred Weasley

Anyone who has read the book, will know EXACTLY what scene this is. I CAN'T WAIT!!!

You're kicking ass, Neville!

Ah, this is one of the scenes I am not looking forward too, but I am because I know I will be sobbing so much in this part. R.I.P Fred Weasley. :'(

Seems like Hermione has already been in the Chamber of Secrets!

AND TWO MORE!!! Because I know this might be too long for you guys and you might be getting annoyed by now.

Last but not least, this is the letter that Alan Rickman himself (Severus Snape), wrote to J.K.Rowling. It is such a moving letter, because we can also feel how emotional Alan is about the series and how much he loves it.

Basically, Alan Rickman sums up everything that we feel too. Thank you J.K.Rowling for such a wonderful and magical childhood. I'll be sure to pass on this legacy to my future children in the hopes they'll love it as much as me and the rest of the world. As sad as I am for the series to end, it'll never be forgotten, we'll all make sure of that. :)

"Never can live, while the other survives,"

Ghosts/Spirits, are they real or fake? My personal experiences on this subject...

2011-06-04T19:23:00.002+10:00

Okay, for those who follow me, know me and keep in tune with my blog, know that I'm probably one of the biggest paranormal nuts out there! Now, I don't believe in everything (but I keep an open mind), but when it comes to spirits and ghosts, I know they are real, because I have seen them.

I am what you call a sensitive to the 'other world'. That sounds crazily unbelievable, but there is no other word for it. I have been like this since I was a little girl and I'm now 21, and boy do I have stories....

Now this post is to exibit your thoughts on the paranormal. Do you think they are real? If so, what are your experiences? Do you think they are fake? Why do you think so?

So to start off, what exactly is a ghost? It is a soul or spirit of a deceased lifeform that can manifest into the living. Now if there is one thing that I hate, it is when people always say, "It doesn't feel human. They are not supposed to be here with the living,".

Now I don't believe that. It's offensive in my opinion. They still are human no matter what, just because you have died and still live on, doesn't make you non-human. Spirits have every right to be here just as we are, they are living, just in another form. We are all living in a different way.

Now to talk about myself. I have been a firm believer in the paranormal for a 'very' long time. I quoted 'very', because it is as long as I could remember. I get initutions, gut feelings (which are always true), deja vu all the time, oh I can see spirits (only when they want to be seen), and visions that come into dreams (it only happened once, but I still count it in).

Okay, I'll start off with my vision that came into a dream. It was only last year, when my brother was still in high school. One night, I had a dream that my brother was in trouble. He was with a group of other people in a busy market place, locked in a room because a crazy gunman was roaming the area. I remember being panicky and frightened for his safety, running through the market trying to find him. I woke up, and brushed it off. It was just a dream, right?? Wrong, I actually had a premonition, and I never realised it until the next day.

I flicked on the television, and an urgent news report was playing. I upped the volume and it was told that a teenage gunman from Melbourne was on the run and was last sighted in the town where my brother's high school is. I checked Facebook, and my friend's were saying the exact same thing. The news report said that the high school was in lock down and all the students were in rooms. I quickly tried to call him, but I couldn't get though, this made me panic. I call my Mum and let her know, also telling her of my dream I had the night before. I couldn't believe it, seriously. It was the first time I have ever experienced anything like it. I had never had a premonition before, and it freaked me out, that it came true. But in the end they did catch him, and everyone was safe, but I still haven't got that dream out of my head. It still gives me the chills...

Gut feelings, I always get bad ones, so there are too many stories to tell for that. I could probably go on all day writing about it.

Now, you might think I am a sort of religious freak. I'm not. I might have been born into a religious family, but I am not religious myself. I believe in what I want to believe.

My very first experience was when I was about 7 years old. It was night, everyone was soundly sleeping, except for my parents and me. I was and still am a very light sleeper, any sound will wake me up to this day. My cousin who used to live in Singapore back then, was flying in to Melbourne, so my Mum went and drove to pick her up from the airport. Now mind you, it was raining really heavy that day, and I used to sleep with the door open, because I was afraid of the dark. I mean, who wasn't back at that age?! I used to share a room with my brother back then, and he used to sleep like a log. I mean, not even an earthquake could wake him up.

So anyway, I was lying awake, listening to the rain. I hear the phone ring, and my parents light was on (the room was just in front of me). I heard my Dad's voice, and gathered that he had to go pick my Mum up. I found out later that her car broke down in the pouring rain, on the way to the airport. So my Dad left the house, with my brother, my older sister and I in the house. Now, I am a TV addict, still am, but back then, even early in the morning, when my Dad left I got out of my bed and headed towards my parents bedroom. Just as I left my doorway, a white figure of a man stood in the doorway of my parents bedroom (which later became my room), blocking my way of going in there. Now I was young, scared and I knew straight away this was a spirit. My heart was racing and the spirit lifted his finger and started swishing it back and forth, like gesturing to me to not go any further. I ran back into my room and tried to wake my younger brother, but as a deep sleeper, he wouldn't wake. I ran back under my covers and and shivered myself to sleep. Now I still remember what he looked like even to this day. He had a turban, yes, a turban, and he had a long white beard with white clothes.

The next morning I told my mother about it. She asked me to describe what I saw, and I told her. Then, she showed me a picture. It was this picture.

I automatically said yes, this is who I saw that night. It sounds so unbelievable, but I kid you not. This is Guru Nanak Dev Ji, he is the founder of Sikhism, which is the religion I was born into. Now I never knew anything about the Guru's back then, but that night changed my life. Now I said before that I wasn't religious, I'm not, but I do believe that Guru Nanak is real, because I saw him, as well as my mother a long time ago. It would take too long to explain who he is, but my words before describe most of him. Now you might wonder why, how can I not be religious after experiencing something like this? That is an entirely different topic, and my own reasons altogether. Now you would think, ah she was only 7 years old then! It's just her imagination! I never even saw a picture of him before that, until that morning when I found out who it was I saw.

When I look back at the day now, my Mum tells me that every morning before leaving for work, she would pray to the Guru's to keep us (her children) safe. He did indeed look out for me that day, and apparently if you see an apparition of him, you are blessed for life. That was indeed a special moment for me and my family, not many people will get to see him at all! I will never forget it.

Come my second experience. It was the same room, different year. Same room I mean by the one I was sleeping in. My brother (again sharing the same room) went out the room to get a glass of water. I was probably about 9 years old, and I was lying in my bed. Suddenly in front of me, a white apparition stood in the corner of my room. It was really tall, and I can still remember the patterns of it to this day. It was like a really, really long veil, I couldn't even see the face. I screamed, ran out of the room and joined my parents in the family area. They came into my room after I told them what happened, and it was gone. To this day, I have no idea what it was, but it scared the hell out of me.

Another experience was in the same house, different room. This time I was sleeping in my parents old room, as we renovated and they got another one. My aunt and uncle from Singapore had come to visit, and we were sitting in the family area of the house talking. From my family area you can see into the rumpus area. My uncle walked past and suddenly behind him I saw a transparent figure of a man in a brown coat, with a brown hat. That very second, he disappeared. I have no idea who he was.

Another experience was in like 2006. I was in the family area, watching Lost by myself. Just when Lost finished, I had this sudden feeling that someone was watching me. I looked behind me, nope, nothing. I looked in front, nothing. The TV controls beside me made a sound like someone was squeezing it. Then suddenly from the rumpus area, a white apparition flew at right me. I screamed, and ran into my brother's room, which wasn't too far away. He asked me what happened, and I told him a white figure just flew right at me. At first he didn't believe me, until he saw how badly I was shaking, then he started to get scared. We got my older sister, and she calmed us down.

Now between all those years, we have seen black apparitions pass through our house. I like to call them 'the shadow people'. My whole family, I can safely say, have all seen them in our house. Sometimes they imitate our family members voices, by calling out our names when they are not at home, and no it wasn't our imagination. I've had way more experiences in that house more than anyone in the family, especially with the shadow people. Now that room, my parents old room, my room now, seems to be a magnet for the shadow people, just my luck eh?

I remember at one time, I was in the toilet, I came out was just about to get into the bathroom when a black shadow ran out of the doorway. I ran speeding down the hallway and washed my hands in the kitchen sink instead. Now the shadow people don't hurt you, they just like to pass through the house every now and then, and we just happen to get a glimpse of them. Even though they mean you no harm, the reason I get scared is because they give you no warning, they just appear there, out of nowhere, and give you an instant heart attack. It's a flight or fight response, and my body automatically goes into flight mode.

Once I was home alone, and I was on the computer writing a story, when suddenly I heard my mother's voice yell my name out angrily, it sounded far away and distant and I knew she was at work. I got freaked out, and called her straight away and told her what happened. Our family have had this happen loads of times, and their apparitions seemed to be everywhere in different parts of the house. No our house isn't haunted. We built it from scratch, so we know it wasn't haunted. As I got older, I started to do research about the town I lived in. Now the only history I could find, is Ned Kelly. his grandparents used to live here too, he was infamous. Don't know who Ned Kelly is? Look him up.

Anyway, I couldn't find anything relating to the land of my town, only that it was a small farming community in the 1800's and aboriginal land. I guess the spirits were just passing through, huh?

Now we have moved from that house, after 17 and a half years of living there, I still miss it. But we are only living in the town next door, so it's not that bad. But I have had experiences in my new house. It was my sister's birthday, and she went out with her friends for birthday drinks. I walk past her room and the door was closed right, but I see underneath a shadow passing back and forth as if someone was pacing. I thought it was my sister, because I didn't know she went out. I told my parents, "Why is she pacing in her room?". They looked at me and, "She's not in her room, she's gone to the City with her friends,". I run to her room and open the door, nothing. Nada.

My family have had loads of experiences, I'll only mention one, because it's something which has stuck to my mind a lot. Okay, my parents and my sister were living in a rented house, my brother wasn't born yet and my mother was heavily pregnant with me. One night, my mother was lying awake, with her door open, and she suddenly gets this feeling. She sees my sister (who was about 9 years old then), creeping past her door, with another little girl behind her. Now this girl behind my sister, wore an ancient dress, and she carried a doll in her hands. It looked like my sister and this unknown girl was playing hide and seek. My mother didn't worry, she didn't get a bad feeling, and she knew this spirit wouldn't harm my sister. Then next morning, my mum tells my dad what she saw, now mind you, there is an attic in that house. My Dad went up the attic to investigate and hopefully tell us what she saw. He found a trunk. He opened it, took a look inside, and quickly scrambled down the attic with a look of disbelief and shock on his face. What he tells my mother, chills even me... I'm pretty sure she freaked out a bit, it was the same dress that girl was wearing and the same doll she was carrying in her hands. After that they moved, haha, I can see why. But when my Mum tells us this story, I like to think that the girl just wanted company and someone to play with. I've tried to look up the history of the house to no avail...I'm still going to keep trying and find out who she was and how she died.

There are a lot more spirit experiences, but it will take too long writing them on here. If there is another thing I hate, it is when skeptics try to find reasonable 'scientific' explanations of what we see. They think we are crazy, hallucinating, dreaming, making up stories. They think little kids lie to get attention, but what they don't know is that when you are young, you are more incline to spirit activity than most ages, it can disappear as you get older, or it can stay.

Ha, I once read that anyone who sees 'the shadow people' are in fact schizophrenics, now that is really silly. I am really in touch in my spiritual side. But even I can be a skeptic at times. Like when people on television come on to say they are psyhics, I don't believe it, I think the media makes them up. I like to believe it, to see it. But the thing is, what you see, you cannot prove, and that is why sceptics are on the move about spirits. There is technology, even the simplest at times, that can capture the apparition and audio of a spirit.

Just last year, my great-aunt passed away from Alzhiemers. My mother went back for her funeral. It really affected us all. Now in our religion, for some reason, only the males can be present at the funeral itself, and she was cremated. My uncle took pictures of my great-aunts ashes (and bits of her bones, which kind of freaked me out as I saw part of her skull!!!! Sheesh), and when the photos were developed, there were ghost orbs everywhere in the picture. Now you would think they are just dust particles, but it wasn't. I have pictures to prove it, but I can't find them at the moment. I'll try and find them.

Back in 2001, my family and I went to Singapore as my Grandfather was dying of cancer. We wanted to see him and say our final goodbye. When we came back to Melbourne, just 4 weeks later, we got the call and he passed away. It was a really hard time for my family.... :'(

My Mother went back to Singapore for his funeral. When my Grandfather was cremated, he was cremated with Jasmine flowers. That following day, the family were at my uncles house, just talking about memories. My cousin, at the time who was just born a few weeks ago, started giggling and laughing and looking right above her. There was no one beside her, and suddenly my Grandmother, Mother and a few family members, got a whiff of Jasmine. They knew my Grandfather had come back. When my mother was on the plane back home, she was crying and upset, of course she would! When suddenly she got another whiff of the smell of Jasmine. Everyone was sleeping at the time, and my Mum knew that her father was comforting her. She and my Dad, got the smell again a few times after that, whenever my mother was upset and thinking about him, he would come and let her know that he is still there. After a couple of years, the smell stopped.

Have you had any experiences regarding spirits, ghosts or anything paranormal? If you are a sceptic, then why are you? I'd like to know your thoughts, every opinion is important and we each have our reasons for believing or not believing in something...

But there is one thing that I can say, we are not the only living entities in this world.

Titanic - The Paranormal Phenomenon

2011-04-11T22:53:00.000+10:00

Titanic 1912 - The Unforgettable Ship

The RMS Titanic. You may all know her as the infamous ocean-liner that sank in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean after hitting an iceberg on April 15th, 1912.

First, I'll give you the background information about the RMS Titanic.

In her time, she was the largest passenger steamship in the world. She was constructed at the Harland and Wolff Shipyard in Belfast, Ireland. Titanic is owned by White Star Line.
She was completed on March 31st, 1912 and set sail for her maiden voyage from Southampton on April 10th, 1912.
Bound for New York, Titanic was already carrying at least 2,240 passengers onboard.
Already the signs of disaster foretold the tragedy of the doomed ocean-liner. As Titanic had just left her berth, it caused the SS New York, which was already docked nearby, to break away from her moorings where she had a near collision with Titanic (four feet apart). Luckily a tugboat towed away the SS New York, before Titanic left half an hour later.
Four days later, at 23:40 on April 14th, 1912, Titanic hit an iceberg and sank at 2:20am the following morning, killing 1,517 people. It was one of the most deadlist peacetime maritime disasters in history.

Now, the title says paranormal phenomenon right? Well of course! I'll get right to it now! You already know the main facts about Titanic, so here is the paranormal part.

What we will talk about is Premonitions. For those who don't know, a premonition is a type of prophecy consisting of a warning about a future event. Gut feelings (as I have them all the time), are also referred to as premonitions.

A group of twenty-two stokers were late for the Titanic, and the Captain declared the the ship would sail without them. Now that's not a premonition, but that saved their lives!

There are more than 19 accounts of premonitions concerning the Titanic, all occurring at least two weeks before Titanic sailed on April 10th, 1912.
Some cancelled their reservations after dreaming of Titanic's doom. Other's said that it was bad luck to sail on the ship's journey. Some of the survivors said they felt uneasy, but sailed anyway.

In 1898, fourteen years before the Titanic sank, author Morgan Robertson, wrote a short novel called Furtility (later known as The Wreck of the Titan). The novel displayed striking similiarites between the wreck in the novel and the sinking of Titanic. Here are some parallels:

Robertson's fictitious ship name was Titan (ooh, like Titanic eh?). Very close there.
Robertson's Titan was 800 ft long, and the Titanic was 882.2 ft long.
Both ships (real and fictional) were both made of steel with 3 propellor two masts.
Each ship was built to carry 3000 people.
The total tonnage of the Titan was 46,328 tons and the Titanic, 45,000 tons.
The Titan's horsepower was 40,000 and Titanic's 46,000.
Each were described as the 'largest passenger ship ever built'.
Both were considered 'unsinkable', until they went down in the North Alantic (scary huh?!).
There were far few lifeboats on both ships.
The Titan travelled 24 knots, the Titanic 22.5 knots.
Both wrecks were in the month of April (seriously, this can't be a coincidence!).
Both struck an iceberg on the starboard side near midnight.

Now, my belief is that there are no such thing as too many coincidences, in fact I believe it to be a an accidental paranormal phenomenon. If you want to download the book to see for yourself, here is the link for download.

http://www.classicly.com/morgan-robertson/the-wreck-of-the-titan/download

Other people who died had a bad feeling about the Titanic, and made out their wills before going onboard and dying during the sinking.

I also went to the Titanic Exhibition when it came to Melbourne. It was amazing, and so overwhelming I cried when I saw the hallways, and the grand staircase remade!

So, what did you think about this post? Do you think it's just a coincidence? Or some other force?

RMS Titanic might have been deemed 'unsinkable', but she will always be and forever be 'unfogettable'...

Arnold Schwarzenegger...Man or Legend?

2011-04-11T16:40:00.002+10:00

Okay, you guys don't know this, but this amazing man right here? MY INSPIRATIONAL HERO! He is well known around the WHOLE world and his most notable performace is The Terminator Franchise which I'm sure every single person has seen?! If not...GET TO IT!

Ahem...cracking on, the music you hear now, are from Arnold movies as well and very noticable if you've seen it a million times like me. Oh, also his greatest quotes in every single one of his movies...160 OF THEM! :D

Let's start off by saying that I've loved Arnold and his movies since birth. I am now 21 years old and my love and inspiration from him has never changed, in fact it's more than ever.
He reminds me a lot of my Dad too, who acts and his expression is like him too hehehehhe, I love that.
My very first Arnold movie? I'm pretty sure it was The Terminator. I've loved him since that movie and by now I have seen EVERY SINGLE ONE OF HIS MOVIES! Literally!
I am an Arnold fanatic, not in a stalkerish way, but in a MASSIVE FAN way! :)

His worst movie? I cannot possibly say, because I love them all! I absolutely hate people that hate Arnold, I know that's selfish, but I have to defend him. Arnold was born in Austria, his three dreams in life?

1. Live in America

2. Marry into the Kennedy family

3. Become an actor.

And another one too..."Be in politics"

He accomplished them all, and that's what inspires me so much. This makes me want to complete my novel faster and have my dream of becoming a famous author. And once I do, I'm thanking Arnold for giving me the inspiration to push myself in pursuing my dreams. He is...my hero. :)

I had to say, when he quit acting to pursue his dream as Governor of California, I was happy but sad too. Then...he become Governor on MY BIRTHDAY! Woo! I secretly feel that's a great birthday present (now that sounds stalkerish, but yeah hahah).

Now after 7 years...he is back in acting, and that makes me SO EXCITED! He is in a new Marvel series called The Governator which is a action star turned politican turned superhero! WOOP! Arnold voices himself, of course, and here is the trailer for you all to see!

Now I'll list some reasons why people might think that they hate him.

1. He has wooden acting skills like a robot.

2. His accent makes it hard to understand properly.

3. He is just overall a really bad actor.

Now, I'm not gonna rant about all the dislikes. But I'll say them anyway. Arnold never intended to be an ACTION movie star. It was his fame to stardom from Hercules that made him into one. Maybe it was because of his muscles and height which made himself more fearsome and intimidating.

His acting skills. Well I think they're fine. I mean, he had to be wooden as a Terminator didn't he? And all his other movies didn't need him to get loose. Watch Kindergarten Cop, if you haven't seen it, then see it. You'll love it and his acting is amazing in that movie. He get's kind of loose in that movie.

Next is his accent, Well he is Austrian, he was born and raised there, so it's obvious he'll have an accent. I know other cultured actors have accents and can speak in the American accent perfectly well and fluently, but just imagine being Austrian and when you are born and raised there, try making another accent. He makes a pretty good American accent, and even though his Austrian accent is very prominent, I reckon he is pretty good.

Now the last one, Arnie being a bad actor. Is he? I mean look how famous his movies are. Sure some might have bombed (but I love them all anyways), but every single actor you see in Hollywood has at least a few dud movies.

Now I'm just rambling on, and this post isn't like my amazing Severus Snape one. It is just my love for Arnie and how he inspires me to finish my goals and dreams. And I hope that everyone that reads this follows their dreams and goals in life. Because once you do, you'll have your life fullfulled. :)

As Arnie would say..."I'll be back,"

Vancouver

Serena Parker and Hailey Chambers were walking back from dinner after celebrating Hailey’s 20th birthday. As the two girls were walking along the side of the footpath, Hailey sighed. Serena, who was walking ahead of her, stopped by the side of a busy intersection and looked back. Serena swished her long black hair and her dark brown eyes stared concerned for her best friend.

“What’s the matter” Serena said, as she stared at her best friend, wondering why on earth she was sad on the day of her birthday. Hailey looked at her smiling slightly, her baby blue eyes and short blonde hair illuminated from the street lights that shone brightly above.

“This is the greatest birthday I could ever have, Serena. Since my family died when I was younger, your parents took me in and you’ve been like a sister to me always,” Hailey smiled, showing her white but crooked teeth. “Thank you for everything today,”

Serena blushed slightly, and said that it was no problem. They stopped talking, and turned to look at the vehicles whizzing by like flies across the intersection.

Serena thought back to when she was only seven years old. She remembered clearly that her mother once took her aside to her bedroom for a little talk. She remembered her mother seating her down on her bed and telling her that there will be a girl with the same age coming to live with them. When asked whether she was going to stay here forever, her mother replied yes. Her mother told her the story of what had happened to Hailey’s family.

Hailey’s younger brother George was an autistic. One day when playing around with crayons in his bedroom, he had an epileptic fit. Her mother Samantha, who had come into his bedroom fifteen minutes later, quickly called her husband Fred who in turn told Hailey to stay in the house, drove both an unconscious George and weeping wife along to the hospital. According to the police reports and witnesses, their four wheel drive spun out of control after hitting an overloaded truck and exploded.

Hailey, who was also seven years old then, was taken into the custody of the police, while they tried to find other family members to take her. My mother, who happened to pass by the accident site, realized (after talking to a few frightened people) that there was a little orphan, who had no idea why she was there, or what had happened to her family. Out of pity, my mother went to the police station; spoke to the officer in charge who helped get her have custody of Hailey, because the police couldn’t find any family members...

A cold, icy wind snapped Serena out of her head; she pulled her coat up higher and shivered.

“You feel cold?” Hailey asked, but Serena ignored her and looked up at the sky. The sky was dark and eerie, the clouds were overcast and rain was starting spit down from the sky, just looking at it gave Serena the shivers. While looking at the sky, another large gust of wind blew at them. Both girls groaned.

“Just can’t wait to get out of this wind,” Serena said irritably, clenching her teeth together to stop them from chattering. She looked at Hailey who was standing still, her hand on the pole where the button for the traffic light was.

“So now Hailey, you’re twenty, single. What are you going to do with your life?” Serena said, trying to strike up a conversation. But Hailey didn’t answer, her hand was still holding the pole, her hand wrapped around the pole so tight, her knuckles were turning white. Serena waited a moment, and when Hailey still didn’t move, Serena touched her shoulder. Hailey span around so quickly that Serena jumped back in fright; Hailey was staring at her with –

Serena froze, staring at her best friend with her mouth gaping open in shock. Hailey’s eyes were pure white, where the pupil should be, there was only blankness. Serena tried to speak, but the words wouldn’t come out of her mouth. She looked at Hailey again but more closely, her face was expressionless, it was just blank. It reminded Serena of the horror movie ‘Children of the Corn’. Finally finding her voice, Serena spoke cautiously.

“H-Hailey?” Serena said nervously, trying to avoid looking at her eyes. Hailey still didn’t move, nor did she utter a word. She was standing there like she was in a trance, or perhaps like she didn’t know she was there or who she was. Then without warning, at the same time sending a chill up Serena’s spine, Hailey spoke. It wasn’t the sweet and kind voice of her best friend, but a harsh and spine chilling voice spoke from within her.

“Let’s play a game,” She said it so coldly, that Serena stepped back a little, afraid that Hailey might attack her. When Serena didn’t say anything, the voice in Hailey continued to speak. “I’ll stand on the road, and if I don’t get hit, then you will get a reward,”

Serena stood on the asphalt baffled, her mouth opened in surprise as Hailey stepped out onto the road. Serena didn’t know what to do. Whatever spoke from Hailey’s mouth, wasn’t normal nor human.

“Hailey?” Serena said in a small voice, scared to speak any louder. “Get off the road before you get yourself killed,” But Hailey just laughed, the hairs on Serena’s back stood up and she shuddered slightly. The thing inside Hailey took another step onto the road, the cars not even stopping as they saw a woman about to walk right into a busy intersection.

“This is the perfect place to play this game,” There was still no expression on her face. Serena’s heart was beating frantically inside her chest.

“Hailey please –“ But before Serena could finish her sentence, a hiss came out of Hailey’s mouth, like a snake about to attack its prey, and her face transformed into a snarl.

Even with Serena’s frantic pleas, Hailey was now standing in the middle of the road. Serena was surprised that she wasn’t hit by a car right there. She seemed to have walked there like she didn’t know how to use her legs, like someone else other than Hailey was forcing it to move. Serena tried to speak again, but only a choke of protest came out. What made Serena even more fearful was that Hailey was smiling, a malice smile that spread across her beautiful face. Then she looked at something which made her smile even wider. When Serena trailed her eyes to what Hailey was looking at, her whole heart froze again in screaming terror.

Not too far away, a large semi-trailer was speeding across the road towards the intersection, right where Hailey was standing. Without even thinking, without even caring for her own life, Serena ran onto the road, dodging the cars that were speeding by and grabbed Hailey’s arm.

“Get off!” snarled Hailey, as she pulled her arm away from Serena with incredible and unexpected force. But Serena couldn’t care and made another grab for her arm again.

“No!” screamed Serena loudly, tugging at her best friends arm to move her. “I’m not letting you do this!” Hailey then unexpectedly grabbed Serena and threw her hard onto the pavement, hitting her head.

Before Serena passed out, before the truck smashed into Hailey, Serena saw a look of fear in Hailey’s eyes. A cry of protest trying to come out of her mouth.

“HAILEY!”

This is still in draft, but please tell me what you think of it. And if there is anything off, please tell me how I can fix it. :)

Murder Case: The Secret

Written by

S.K.SAINI

- Chapter 1 -

Witness

It is a stormy night on the 15th of January, 2005; everyone is soundly sleeping, cats were marauding happily down the street, wondering around curiously near the neighbour’s houses and three girls (me included) were strutting along the outskirts of Hector. Coming back from a friend’s party and heading towards home, Kate Hampton, Juliet Singer and I were talking amongst ourselves. Thinking back I realized that after this night, all our lives were changed forever and there was no going back from it.

Kate Hampton is my best friend. We have known each other for almost our whole life. She has blonde, long hair which ends at the small of her back, and when you look at her baby blue eyes they pierce right through your body. For looks, Kate is pretty, but sometimes the acne on her face demolishes the prettiness. But I don’t care about that. Kate and I have this sisterly bond, we both know straight away whether either one of us are in trouble or sad. She is the nicest person you could ever meet. She is one of those friends who would come over straight away when you become sick; she is one of those friends who would see through to the end of the day that you’d get better.

Juliet Singer is my other friend. She isn’t as close to me as Kate is, but she is good person. She is the only one who would help make decisions that impact our friendship. Sometimes Juliet has an anger problem, and she always takes it out on other people. Horrible I know, but she is basically the tough one of our trio. She has an older sister and her parents fight a lot. My mum doesn’t really like Juliet coming over as much because she was afraid that she might influence me into drugs or something. Juliet isn’t anything like Kate. Unlike Kate who would come over and help you, Juliet will be the kind of person who will tell you to get over it and suck it up. There was a reason why I wasn’t as close to her as Kate, a reason why were didn’t really bond with each other as much, because Juliet liked to say what she thought with no regard to the persons feelings or emotions. She is a very direct and controlling person. Maybe the reason we became friends in the first place, is because she is honest, and honesty is a good thing my opinion, even if it can be vicious.

We are walking silently now, and my heart is smashing into my chest. I look around me, and see only trees and houses. I try not to look up at the sky. I hate the dark. I just hate it. Maybe because I know what’s out there in the dark, things that can get to you before you can even react. I am a paranormal freak. I love reading about mysterious and scary mythical creatures and ghosts. I guess the consequences resulted in my phobia of the dark. You never know what’s out there. Just watching. Waiting. Great, now I’m paranoid. That’s what I get for letting my mind do all the thinking.

We are still walking down the street when a roll of thunder sounded. Kate stopped walking and looked up in fright. Juliet and I both stopped when we realized that she wasn’t with us.

“What the hell was that? Was that thunder?” She looked at me and Juliet with her eyes wide open. Juliet and I looked at each other. Kate has a phobia of thunder. We both nodded and started dragging Kate along as we started up walking along the sidewalk. Another crash of thunder filled the quiet night, followed by a streak of lightning which hit nearby power lines. Suddenly it became very dark and I didn’t like it at all. Shit.

This time it was me who looked around in fright, and because I have a phobia of the dark, I panicked even more. I grabbed a hold on Kate’s shirt.

“I can’t see anything! It’s too dark!” I cried out in fear. Kate pulled my hands away from her shirt and calmed me down softly. She was still trembling from before. Juliet just rolled her eyes at me. So much for helping me.

“You don’t have to be scared, we’re with you, and nothing is going to hap-“

Kate’s words were cut off by the sound of running footsteps near the trees. “What the hell was that?” whispered Kate fearfully, as she looked at me and Juliet once again with wide, shocked eyes. She jumped at basically anything, and always caused the rest of us to freak out a little.

“It-It sounds like someone running,” I said, I tried to comfort her a little, but my own heart was racing nonetheless. It’s just someone running, right? What else could it be?

“It’s coming this way!” hissed Juliet quietly.

We all held our breath, our hearts pumping and beating so fast you’d think we ran a marathon. I felt Kate stiffen beside me in panic.

The footsteps were getting louder. I was more terrified because I couldn’t see anything and the thunder and lightning seemed to make my phobia worse.

Juliet screamed and I think my heart almost failed, not to mention the height in which we all jumped in the air.

“Piss off Harley!” screamed Juliet angrily, as she pushed a laughing Harley Groves out of her way.

Harley Groves is in the same year level as us. He is the type of guy, who wanted to be hated by everyone, and so he annoyed everybody with his brainless and lame made up jokes, his irritating voice and sleazy gestures. Even though he brought it on himself, I kind of felt sorry for him. And by kind of I mean such a tiny feeling that it doesn’t even register that I’m feeling like that.

Did I mention he was a complete sleaze bag?

Harley burst out laughing, his crooked teeth visible as his mouth opened wide with laughter. The idiot tried to scare us and won. Kate and I were pulling Juliet back to stop her from beating the crap out of Harley. At one point Kate accidently let go of her arm but quickly grabbed it again. Harley jumped back from Juliet playfully.

“I’m surprised you haven’t been put on a leash, Singer. You need to be tied up,” teased Harley as he came closer and closer to a fuming Juliet, who was starting to go red in the face from seething anger.

“Shut up Harley!” I yelled angrily while still trying to restrain a fuming Juliet.

“Although the fantasy of you being tied up is actually better than I thought it would be,” Juliet growled and tried to claw Kate and I, as she tried freeing herself to attack Harley. But Harley ran away laughing uncontrollably because he knew that he stirred up the raging animal in Juliet.

“Juliet!” I panted, as Kate and I were struggling with a scratching and angry Juliet. “Stop it! You’re stooping down to his level!” This last line stopped Juliet, and after a few seconds of calmness, when Kate and I thought it was safe to unhand Juliet, we let her go carefully. She whipped around to face us angrily, her eyes piercing with accusation and hatred.

“Why the fuck did you two grab me for?” Kate and I looked at each other like that wasn’t the easiest question in the world.

“We grabbed you because you would’ve attacked Harley,” Kate said even more angrily, mainly because Juliet had sweared at us. Juliet turned to Kate, I could see the anger etched in the lines of her face, and I wondered at this point why I became friends with Juliet. She is such an angry person, I had no idea how I became friends with her in the first place.

“Whose side are you on Kate?” seethed Juliet angrily. “Are you on Harley’s side?” Kate stammered, but I jumped in to save her. Kate never really did well in fights. I turned to Juliet angrily.

“How can you talk to your own friend like that? We are not on anyone’s side. Yes he was in the wrong with what he said, but you are also in the wrong when you tried to attack him. That makes you no better than he is,” Juliet fumed even more, but we all froze in shock as a sickening scream shattered the conversation to silence.

“What was that?” whispered Juliet to Kate and me fearfully.

“I think that sounded a lot like Harley don’t you think?” I said to Juliet and Kate, also at the same time trying to hear the screaming phenomenon again. Kate nodded in agreement.

“I think it –“ But Kate was cut off by Juliet who quickly shushed her.

“Shhh! Can you hear that?” All three of us suddenly became quiet, and sure enough the same scream was heard, but this time it was moving further away. Juliet started running and stupidly, Kate and I instantly did the same. We ran along the road, our loud running footsteps scraped the pavement as we ran faster and faster, the sound of the scream was getting closer and closer and my heart was thumping in my chest it hurt. It was still too dark to see, but with the help of dim streetlights, I was following Juliet and Kate. As we ran across the road, we headed to Denway Park. The sound of the scream had to be here, I wondered in my head while running and nearly tripping over at the same time. The sound of the scream was so close, we all halted in our steps with shock at what we saw.

In the night we could barely see, a black hooded figure kneeling over something, sucking noises coming from its black hood, like it was eating something, I knew then that the creature was eating someone. The person was making gargling and choking noises. My gut was pulled back and I suddenly felt sick in the stomach. Suddenly the person became quiet. I turned my face away and took a big gulp of air to take the queasiness away. Kate accidently stood on a twig making the black hooded creature look up from his prey and look in our direction. We all froze, trying not to move. I think my heart stopped for that moment. It just kept looking at our direction as if it couldn’t see us. Luckily for us it didn’t seem to see anything, and after what felt like forever, the creature went back to devouring the poor soul who was lying helplessly on the ground.

I felt my heart start beating again; it was beating frantically against my chest. I looked at Kate’s face, it was filled with horror and shock, and Juliet’s face seemed to be a bit sick. The three of us stayed halted in the same place, unable to move, afraid it would actually see us this time.

When the creature finished, it stood up. It was as tall as a full grown man, we all kept silently still, not even breathing, afraid the creature was going to find us too, but all it did was open its black cape, with hands I couldn’t see, and to our uttermost horror, sprouted black wings. It protruded from its thick body, and with the wings flapping so powerfully, it flew off from the ground and into the clouds.

The three of us waited for a couple of minutes in case the creature came back, but when it didn’t we all slowly headed cautiously to where the dead mass lay gruesomely mangled on the Park ground. We all gasped in shock as we reached the body. Judging from its hair, and mangled face, it was indeed Harley Groves, the lifeless body lay still and silent. Kate burst into loud tears and Juliet quickly took her away from the body, telling her to shut up at the same time. I didn’t follow them, but I did move closer to the body because something had caught my eye. I didn’t go too close however, but the body was laid in an awkward angle, his stomach was ripped wide open and all the insides were nearly, completely eaten away, leaving chunks of intestine and possibly other organs lying on his body and on the ground.

Shit. I covered my mouth with my sleeve, afraid at the thought that I might chuck up all over the dead body. I don’t know why I did it but I started examining his face, with my sleeve still on my mouth.

The skin was viciously ripped apart at the forehead down to the nose. The only way I could identify Harley was because of his unique stud which was now dangling from what was left of his lip. My eyes remained on Harley’s mangled face, studying every tear that was used to be his skin. It seemed like the creature has claws. I could see the muscles through the torn skin. There was a bleeding hole where his left eye used to be. His right eye was torn open, and a white fluid was seeping out of what was left of his eye.

I looked further down near his stomach area where his chewed up organs lay on the ground. I gulped back a bit of vomit and moved my face away from the body to breathe. After a couple of minutes when my stomach settled down, I turned back to the body. I over-looked the intestines and looked at the gaping hole in what used to be Harley’s stomach. Nearly everything was gone. It was like the creature had sucked out nearly everything of his insides, spilling out bits of flesh around the body.

As I was gawking at Harley’s open stomach, something else caught my eye. Something solid was protruding out of his left jacket pocket and curiosity got the best of me as usual. I pulled my sleeves up further and made sure my hand was covered; I reached into his left pocket and pulled out a small black bag. I examined it carefully and instantly knew what it was. The hex bag was the size of my palm, it had white string tied tightly around it and an unusual aroma was coming from the bag. The smell wasn’t strong, but it was sifting through my nose, making my stomach lurch again. My gut suddenly had a bad feeling and I knew that this hex bag meant no good. But nevertheless I carefully got a spare plastic bag from my purse and put the hex bag into it. I shoved the plastic bag into my own bag and continued to examine the body. I know I shouldn’t be doing it, but for some reason a feeling was telling me I had to.

I got up, unable to look at the body again. I looked up at the sky, it was still overcast and dark, and my brain went into panic mode once again. Calm down, I comforted myself as I looked away from the sky. I have bigger problems than the dark right now. Yeah, real comforting Selena, that’s real helpful right now.

Near the bushes, Kate and Juliet were standing near the trees, watching me look at something on the ground.

“How can she even go near the body?” sobbed Kate quietly. Juliet patted her back once and quickly took her arm away.

“She can handle these kinds of things. We can’t,” whispered Juliet resentfully.

“What the hell was that thing?” said Kate, whose voice was getting louder by every word. Juliet shushed her and looked to where I was.

After I finished, I got up and went to Kate and Juliet who were huddled by the bushes.

“Are you done?” Juliet said quietly. I nodded speechless. Kate was listening attentively. “What happened?”

I looked at them, all the clues and evidence that was stuck in my mind, it felt so terrible I didn’t want to say it. I gulped back tears that were finally trying to come out.

“From the looks of it, Harley was chased down and fatally attacked like we saw,” Kate looked worryingly at Juliet. But Juliet’s stern look still didn’t change.

“How do you know he was chased down? You can’t conclude a hypothesis just from looking at the body,”

“From what we heard it was pretty obvious. I wasn’t only looking at the body. Follow me,” I showed Kate and Juliet a fine patch of green grass near Harley’s body. “Have a look closely, you can barely see it but you’ll see footprints,”

Kate and Juliet leaned in close where the grass was. You had to lean in pretty close to see because there was no moonlight and sure enough, there was a one set of footprints that was imprinted in the grass, but there was something wrong.

“The footprints are like one foot away from the body,” said Kate, who was still half sobbing. “How is that?” Juliet realized what Kate was on about and turned to me for answers.

“Well Sherlock Holmes, what do you think?” I gave Juliet a dirty look; I always hated it when Juliet called me Sherlock Holmes, she made it like I was some kind of crazy person that loves playing detective all the time, which wasn’t true of course.

“I realized it when I was walking back to you guys actually. I think that the creature was chasing after Harley, grabbed him while it was still flying and killed him right there,” I indicted the bloody mass that lay on the ground two feet away from us. I wiped tears that were slowly coming out of my eyes.

“What makes you think he was running?” asked Kate fearfully, as she deliberately avoided looking at Harley’s dead corpse. I showed them the footprints again; clearly you could see that the footprints were far away from each other.

“The footsteps are far apart from each other. When we walk, the footsteps are closer together. But when you are running, your footsteps have a larger gap between them. Then there is a large break where his footsteps and body are,” I quickly wiped away more tears. “Because the creature can fly, we can only assume it must’ve grabbed him. Plus you know what we heard before this happened. If it were flying at you, you’d run too,” We all looked at the dead, eaten corpse of Harley Groves.

The Secret

Suddenly for me, it became quiet. Too quiet that the silence was deafening to my ears, I couldn’t hear the thunder anymore and I suddenly realized that I couldn’t stand being here any longer. I closed my eyes and prayed that I was just in a nightmare and soon I will wake up hoping it’ll come off as a bad dream. But when I opened my eyes, I was still in Denway Park standing with Kate and Juliet, and I knew that this wasn’t a dream at all. I decided to break the silence. I turned to face Juliet and Kate, who were also lost in thought.

“We have to go. We have to go to the police and tell them what happened,” I started to move with Kate, when Juliet grabbed my shoulders. I turned around to face her. “What is it?” Juliet’s face suddenly looked serious.

“You can’t tell anyone what happened,” Juliet said quietly. I scoffed at her, as I couldn’t believe my own ears. What is she talking about?

“What the hell do you mean don’t tell anyone?” I said, glaring at Juliet angrily. Behind me, Kate was agreeing with what I was saying. Juliet came in front of me and put her hands on my shoulders again.

“It’s going to look suspicious if we tell the cops what we saw just then,” I looked at Juliet with a dumbfounded look. I looked at Kate then back at Juliet, I still couldn’t believe my ears.

“What, you think the cops are going to say that we killed Harley?” Kate said slightly angrily and horrified at the thought she had given. But I didn’t listen to what Kate had said; I was just looking at Juliet, trying to comprehend what was going on in her mind. I suddenly realized why Juliet said what she said.

“You’re not trying to protect us,” I said heatedly. “You’re trying to protect yourself,” Kate looked at me confusingly, wondering what on earth I was talking about. Juliet took her hands off my shoulders as if she got electrocuted and glared at me with her hazel eyes, like a hawk about to attack its prey.

“What the hell does that mean?” said Juliet, equally as angry as me. “I didn’t kill the fucking bastard!”

“I know you didn’t kill Harley, but you do have motive for killing him. He said some things to you and you got angry, the cops will see you as a suspect,” There became silence again. Juliet and I were glaring at each other and Kate was looking at us both trying to figure out what to say. But it was Juliet that spoke up first. With her eyes still on me, she spoke.

“I call for a vote. Hands up for those who want it to be kept a secret,” Juliet put her hand up, with her angry eyes still on my face. I kept my hand down and looked sideways at Kate, who had her hand up too.

“Kate, what are you doing?” I looked at Kate surprisingly and half angry. Kate still had her hand up, but she looked at me sadly.

“I’m sorry Selena, but I’m going with Juliet on this one,” said Kate sorrowfully. It looked like she was going to cry. “I don’t want my parents to find out what happened; I don’t want to be a suspect,” I looked at Kate dejectedly, but I couldn’t blame her. Juliet’s eyes lit up, and she gave a quick smile to Kate. When she looked back to me the smile faltered and became a thin line of anger again. They both put their hands down and stared at me.

“Majority rules, Selena,” I looked at them both, trying to wonder how they can keep this a secret. “We’re keeping this a secret for our own safety,” Juliet looked at Kate who nodded in agreement, and then she turned her look to me.

“Are you with us Selena?” I looked at Juliet again, but I knew in my heart that the decision was made, and I had no choice but to accept it. I was only making the decision for Kate.

“Fine,” I said miserably, knowing that I had been defeated. “I won’t tell anyone, but I still think this isn’t a good idea,” Juliet gave another quick smile.

“Good, because no good will come out of this if we tell anyone,” said Juliet carefully. It’s still no good even if we don’t tell anyone, I said thoughtfully.

We all started walking back to our houses without a last glance at the dead corpse of Harley Groves lying on the grass in Denway Park. There was no talking this time, each one of us was lost in our own thoughts. I was fuming inside. How can Juliet control us like that? What right does she have to tell us what to do? How can I keep this secret, knowing that it’s going to eat away inside of me as the days pass by? This has to be the most stupidest thing I’ve ever done, I thought to myself as our feet was scraping loud against the pavement as we walked. As we kept walking silently, we passed Kate and Juliet’s house, without even talking, we each gave each other a nod and they both went into their houses, closing the door shut behind them.

I was on my own now, walking home by myself scared. I kept sneaking glances up the night sky, searching for signs of a large creature with wings. That thought sent my heart running again. What if it came back now? What was I going to do? Shit.

I still couldn’t believe what happened. I saw a murder for the first time my life. It was all starting to crash down on me, my throat swelled up and my eyes burned with tears.

“Selena, what’s wrong sweetie?” The voice quickly snapped me out of my thoughts and I realized that I was suddenly at home; standing in the living room and in front of me was the worried face of my mother.

“Oh,” I said quickly lost for words. “It’s nothing Mum. I’m just tired,” Mum looked at me; I quickly raised my eyes and looked at my mother, I could tell she didn’t believe me. I took in my mother’s appearance.

She is beautiful. Everybody always says that if there was a beauty pageant, my mother will be crowned first place. She is a lot like me, long brown hair, dark brown eyes, and a smile so beautiful that it becomes contagious to anyone around her. Okay, I admit I went a little overboard with the contagious part. I turned my attention back to Mum. She looked even more worried.

“Are you sure you’re okay? I called you when you came in, but you didn’t say a word. You look like you’ve seen a ghost,” I nodded. You got that right.

“It’s just been a long day and I’d really like to go to bed,” I forced a smile, went up to my mother, hugged her tightly, although she wouldn’t let go, and went up the stairs and into my room. I closed my door and I fell onto my bed; more thoughts came to my head. What was that creature? What was it doing there in the first place? Why did it kill Harley? Why did he have a hex bag on him? What is inside it? Why did my life have to start falling apart at this moment?

Suddenly thinking at how exhausted I was. I climbed into my covers, with my clothes still fully on, and drifted off into an uneasy sleep, dreaming of the horrific incident that happened only a couple of hours ago. After all this time I think back, I realized that this was the catalyst for events soon to come, and there was no stopping it.

I opened my eyes wearily and looked around. I was in my room and it took me a while to realize that I still had my clothes from last night on me. When I sat up in bed thinking of the events that took place last night, I looked at my clock, which showed twelve-fifteen in the afternoon. I had slept in. Shit. I got out of bed and stretched, I then went to my wardrobe and got out a long dark skirt with a white top and went into the bathroom to take a long and needed hot shower.

“Ah, Selena you’re awake!” said Mum happily, as I came out from the bathroom, and into the kitchen area still looking tired.

“Mornin’,” I said softly and hoarsely, as I still hadn’t found my voice yet since waking up. I sat on the table just as my Mum put a plate of bacon and eggs in front of me. I was yawned loudly.

“It’s the afternoon now,” she said softly as she kissed me on the forehead. “I let you sleep in a bit, after last night,” I nodded without speaking and looked at my plate. The egg was leaking on my plate and my mind suddenly flashed back to the blood and torn flesh of Harley. I groaned and pushed my plate away only taking the bacon.

“Where are Kale, Karen and Dad?” I said my mouth full of bacon. Mum sat down opposite me and took a piece of bacon from my plate.

“It’s a Sunday, so Kale is over at Jackson’s house, your father is still at the construction site working and Karen is still out with her friends. Don’t know when she’ll be back.” I rolled my eyes while my Mum looked away. Karen is only four years older than me. She thinks that she can control me because she is the oldest. She shows off to her friends in front of me, treating me like a child. Even more to my humiliation, Karen gossips about me and the family to her friends, something which I hate among all other things. But even though she can be a bitch sometimes, Karen does have a good side which is loving and sort of sisterly like. Kale on the other hand is like any other little brother, annoying. He is three years younger than me and even now he still likes to peep into my room or flick through my out-dated diary once in a while. But unlike any other little brother, Kale was my first and only best friend. We will tell each other most things and help each other out, which makes my mother very proud of us.

When I finished my late breakfast, I went up to my room, and shut and locked the door behind me. I went to my desk, set a large piece of paper on the floor, went to my bag and got out the small black, hex bag I found inside Harley’s jacket. I set the hex bag onto the paper and opened the white string with my hands, and when the black bag opened up a strong horrible smell wafted from inside the bag which made me nearly throw up again. I got up again, went to my desk a second time and got out a pair of white disposable gloves from my drawer. I went back to the floor and sat down.

Picking though the objects in the bag, I found the following:

A piece of bone, not sure what it was, but I was sure to check it out soon; two really small baby teeth, one dead black rose, three black pebbles and two small rocks. I knew that this was a hex bag, the contents inside confirmed it. I got out a notebook and a pen and starting to record my findings.

“It is the 16th of January, 2005. I found a small black hex bag in the jacket of Harley Groves. I opened up the bag and found the following items:

• One unidentified piece of bone.

• Two really small teeth, very likely from a toddler or a child.

• One dead black rose.

• Three black pebbles.

• Two small rocks from an unidentified location, very likely from a graveyard.

NOTE: Find out what kind of bone it is.”

I quickly put down the pen and re-read what I wrote. I suddenly forgot one more thing, the smell. You see, when you make a hex bag, you put a certain kind of aroma on the bag for it to effectively work. If there is no aroma, it can be rendered useless, thus it won’t work. I quickly wrote down some more notes.

“Hex bag has a certain kind of aroma. Smells like something you get from the ocean mixed with a stale smell of an unknown source,” I closed the notebook and started drifting into my thoughts. From the evidence I could gather from the hex bag, someone tried to curse him, I think. The hex bag, if cursed, probably worked, Harley Groves is now dead and decaying on the ground in Denway Park. But now so many more questions were running through my head. I wonder if anyone found his body. Who would want to curse Harley? There were so many people in school who hated him, so many people who’d give anything for him to die or get hurt. Why did that person put the hex bag in his jacket? Does the hex bag attract the creature that killed Harley? Or is the creature and the hex bag two different things all together? Maybe Harley crossed paths with someone who is into witchcraft, or was it meant for someone else? The questions kept coming and coming, and every time I tried to answer a question, another question will pop up as well as many theories. I came back to my senses again when there was a knock on my door.

“Who is it?” I called out as I quickly scrambled around putting the objects back into the bag (leaving out the piece of bone) and stuffing them into a drawer and locking them inside.

“It’s Kate,” said a silent and shy voice of Kate. “Can I come in?” I quickly put the bone into a pouch, stuffed it in my school bag and went to open the door.

Kate was standing there in a medium sized white skirt, with a pink blouse. Her hair was tied back into a ponytail today. She gave me a massive hug. I patted her back sympathetically, knowing what conversation was going to come up.

“Are you okay?” I said sympathetically, as we both parted and sat on the bed. Kate looked at me with tired and sad eyes. Her eyes were puffy and red. She had been crying. She shook her head.

“I’m not okay Lena,” said Kate whose voice was starting to break up. “I couldn’t sleep the whole night last night. My eyes are red and puffy from crying so much and I’m just scared. I also feel guilty for taking Juliet’s side and not yours,” I looked at poor Kate, who had tears starting to well up in her eyes again. I passed her a tissue from my bedside table.

“You don’t have to feel guilty about anything Kay. Just because you are like family, doesn’t mean you have to take my side on every issue that comes along. I had nightmares of what happened last night too. It was a horrible experience for all of us. I never want to go through that again,” Kate quickly took the tissue and started dabbing at her eyes. I looked at Kate for a bit wondering whether I should trust her enough to tell her about the hex bag. Kate looked at me while cleaning her eyes. She frowned at me.

“What? Why are you staring at me like that?”

“Can I trust you with something?” Kate looked at me, wondering what on earth I was going to tell her about. She nodded her head. I told her about the hex bag, about how I was looking through Harley’s body, finding the hex bag, opening it and discovering it contents and my theories. When I finished talking, Kate looked at me with her mouth wide open.

“You stole evidence,” Kate said slowly, as though trying to comprehend what I said to her. “You opened up a cursed bag which you think made Harley a target to that creature, and you stole evidence,” Kate sighed disappointingly as she looked at me. “I know you Lena; you would never do something like this, stealing evidence. First you looked at his dead body and now you do this. Why are you trying to play detective all of a sudden?”

“I’m not trying to play detective,” I said defensively, feeling slightly hurt by Kate’s response. “And I took the evidence because of a gut feeling I had, and you know about my gut feelings,” I added, glaring at Kate who looked a taken back. “I am telling you these things because I can trust you, if you break this trust and tell anyone else, even Juliet, I’ll never confide anything to you again,” Kate nodded.

“Why don’t you want Juliet to find out?” asked Kate. I scowled at her.

“Because of what happened last night. I don’t trust her; I’m not as close to her as you are Kate. I only put up with her because of what she’s going through with her parents,” Kate nodded again, but this time more slowly. “What did you do when you went back home last night?”

“Everyone else was sleeping, so I just went to my room and tried to wait for sleep to come. But I couldn’t stop thinking about what happened. I still can’t believe it. What was that thing?” I knew how Kate was feeling because I was feeling the same way too. But before I could reply, my Mum was calling for us.

“Selena! Kate! I want you to come down here now!” called Mum from downstairs. The tone of my mother sounded panicky, and Kate and I looked at each other in fright and ran downstairs into the living room, where the television was switched on.

“Mum, what is i-“ But Mum shushed me and pointed my direction to a breaking news report that was playing on the television. Nicolas Papas who was the Channel Seven’s reporter, was speaking from the news desk. My heart was pounding, as I knew what this news report was about. I stood and listened.

- Chapter 3 -

Rumors

“Police this morning were called to the attention of a dead body of a teenage boy found by an elderly woman who was walking her dog in Denway Park early this morning. The witness who doesn’t want to be named called the ordeal ‘the shock of her life’ and is now in hospital being treated for shock. The body of the teenager has not been identified. Police are now calling it a Homicide and further investigation into the murder will be pending effective immediately. Anyone with any information about the murder is to call the Hector Police Station. Nicolas Papas, Seven news,”

Mum switched off the television and sat down in shock, Kate and I quickly looked at each other in fright.

“How could this have happened? A murder in Hector?” I sat down next to Mum and put an arm around her, comforting her.

“I know, it’s really shocking for us too,” I looked at Kate who was staring at me speechless. Mum looked at me.

“He was just a teenage boy. He would’ve gone to your school wouldn’t he?” I stared at Mum.

“Yeah,” I said slowly, trying to catch my words. “Probably,” I hugged Mum and closed my eyes.

Once again the flashes of last night were flickering in my mind. Mum suddenly stiffened my arms. She broke away and looked at me.

“Where were you girls last night?” I suddenly became rigid in my seat, staring at my mother. I fought my eyes from looking at Kate. “After the party did you go anywhere else?” I shook my head.

“N-no, we came straight back home. We didn’t go anywhere else,” I added when my mother kept staring at me suspiciously. Kate nodded fervently behind her.

“Then when you came home, why did it look like you’d been crying? What happened?” I looked at Kate and back at my mother.

“It was nothing. Nothing happened,” Mum didn’t seem to believe still. Luckily, Kate jumped to the rescue.

“It was just the dark, Mrs. Gordon. The lightning took out the power and Selena just freaked out. You know how it is,” I glanced at Kate and nodded. She gave me a slight smile back. Mum’s face looked at me for a couple more seconds and her face softened. Pity took over her face.

“Well if that was it – “

“It was,” I interrupted, speaking quickly. “It was just the stupid darkness. I hate it and I got scared,” Mum gave me a piteous smile, kissed my forehead and walked away.

Later on during the day, Mum, Kale, Dad and I were sitting around the dinner table eating steak and mashed potatoes, while talking about murder that has put the whole town into discussion mode. Karen was not home yet, though typical Karen, she wouldn’t even phone to tell us she was coming home late.

“I heard from Jackson’s parents that the killer is someone we know,” said Kale, who quickly stuffed mashed potatoes into his mouth while flicking his hair out of his eyes. Mum scowled at him.

“The police haven’t found the killer yet, so how could Jackson’s parents possibly know?” Kale shrugged and continued eating. Dad was sitting next to Mum and he was frowning. He always frowned when he was thinking. His wrinkles increased every time he did, which was funny in a way. His brown hair was shining from the light above us, giving him a sort of halo on top of his head. He was a very handsome man. He pushed his glasses up from his nose.

“You know what Charlotte? Kale could be right, it might actually be someone we know,” Mum scoffed again. “Hear me out. This is a small town; everyone knows everybody and we’re basically the kind of town who can’t keep out of each other’s business. Who’s to say it isn’t someone we know, someone who is capable of mauling a teenager to death?” I looked at Dad in shock when I was halfway through putting a forkful of steak into my mouth. Mum looked up at Dad in surprise.

“Mauled to death? Where on earth did you hear that from Reece?”

“It was on the radio when I was on my way back from work. Apparently the police found the body severely mauled apart, no human could’ve done this,” I looked at Dad again. Too right it wasn’t human, I thought in my head. I looked at Kale who looked disgusted. He put down his fork and glared at Dad.

“Thanks a lot Dad, now I’ve just lost my appetite,” Mum glared at Kale.

“No you haven’t, you just want an excuse not to eat. Finish your food. And no more talking about the murder,” she said, directing the last sentence to my Dad. Dad just shrugged and continued eating his steak. I sat there in silence, listening to the bickering conversation.

“It could be a bear or wolves,” said Kale after a while, quickly giving a look to Dad. Mum slammed her fork on her plate and Kale and I jumped in our seats. We all became silent, except for Mum.

“I told you Kale, stop talking about it,” scolded Mum, Kale nodded. “There are no bears or wolves in Hector anyway,”

After dinner had finished, I quickly did the dishes and announced I was going to bed.

I tried to sleep, but I kept tossing and turning in my bed. I kept worrying, worrying that the police were going to find my prints on Harley’s jacket. No that can’t be, you were careful, I thought quietly to myself. As I kept thinking what had happened, my eyes slowly started to close.

There was a loud screeching sound and my eyes jumped opened in fright. My heart only relaxed when I realized it was my alarm clock ringing, and I grumpily leaned over my bed and hit my clock with my hand causing the alarm to stop. I sat up, still tired, I felt like I hardly slept. I didn’t want to go to school today, but I knew I had to, at least it’ll keep my mind off things, I thought. I found out I was wrong when I reached school.

I go to Hector Secondary School and I am in my final year. The school is good. Good teachers, good education, good students, the only thing that wasn’t good, was gossip. I suppose everyone get’s rumors about themselves spread at school sometime in their life, but now, the rumors were bigger than ever. As I stepped off the bus, all around me there were groups of students huddled together, whispering to each other. As I walked down the pathway near the classroom areas, I realized that it was quiet; it’s never been quiet before in our school. It suddenly became uneasy. People were still whispering to each other when I headed to the front of the library. It was just how any library would look. It was old, antique looking. The detailed structure of the outside was fading and peeling slightly, but it was a nice looking building.

“Howdy!” The familiar voice made me spin around.

“Charlie!” I looked at Charlie Ashmore and smiled; his short blonde hair and brown tips shone brightly from the sun. I have known him since primary school. His cute little smile always makes me smile, and he is always there for me. Charlie is tall, thin, and one of the brightest and smartest people that I know. Charlie smiled sweetly as we hugged each other.

“How are you Charlie? How was your weekend?” Charlie looked at me, his smile faltering slightly.

“Not that good actually I guess we’re all hyped out about the murder in Denway Park,” I cleared my throat and nodded my head. But before I could speak, Charlie leaned closer to me. “There are rumors flying around,” he whispered. My heartbeat went fast again. I looked at him.

“What do you mean?” I whispered back, knowing I was going to dread the answer.

“Rumor has it, that the body found in Denway Park was someone from our school,” My heart was beating fast, and guilt started to well up in my gut. I think it showed up on my face, but Charlie mistook my guilty look for a sad look. I gulped, afraid that he’d seen my guilt, my guilt of seeing Harley being murdered and not telling anyone about it. I felt like an accessory to murder. But Charlie just clicked his tongue and patted my back. I nodded, hiding my face slightly.

“I thought that old woman found him?” I said looking at Charlie’s face. But Charlie just shrugged, looked behind me and smiled.

“Lena!” cried out a male, deep voice. Before I could even react, big arms had grabbed me from behind hugging me. I panicked and tried to fight the arms, but the laughing from behind me made me stop.

“Jonathan!” I said angrily, but smiling at the same time. I turned around and jokingly hit my close friend Jonathan Barone. I have known Jonathan since primary school, to tell you the truth I actually had a crush on him at one time, but that faded away after a couple of years. Jonathan is tall, and I mean really tall, he was about seven foot high, with tight abs and muscles. Jonathan was a funny guy and he loves being around with his friends as much as he could. When I hit Jonathan, he just laughed and we both gave each other a proper hug.

“Don’t scare me like that!” I said, my head painfully being crushed by Jonathan’s hard chest. We pulled apart and I saw Jonathan and Charlie hug. They pulled apart as there was a loud ringing sound. It was the school bell, but listening clearly, there was an announcement being broadcast from the speaker.

“Could all students please come to the assembly area and line up where your homeroom teachers are please? All students,” The broadcast ended and I heard people all around me talking to each other.

“It must be because of that murder,”

“I think it’s someone from our school!”

“Do you think they’re going to tell us who the killer is?”

I rolled my eyes knowing full well no one other than Kate, Juliet and I knew who the killer was, and walked with Jonathan and Charlie to the assembly area, also wondering in my head where the hell Kate and Juliet were too. I walked silently as Jonathan and Charlie were talking to one another, I was curious as to what this assembly was about, and my gut feeling was telling me that it was definitely about the murder. As we halted to a stop, we looked around trying to find our homeroom teachers. Jonathan and Charlie waved goodbye to me as they walked off to where their homeroom teacher was, leaving me alone. I felt like I was being left by myself quite a lot lately. I looked around trying to find people from my class, but my gut feeling suddenly went bad at the site of two police officers standing on the front of the stage, waiting for everyone to be seated. I suddenly found my teacher Mr. Holmes, an English teacher, a very nice old man. I sat down with my other classmates and looked around trying to find any sign of Kate or Juliet. There was a tap on my shoulder which made me jump, I looked up and saw that it was Kate, who gave me a quick smile, and Juliet who was beside her looking very smug. We all gave each other a nod and turned to face the front of the stage. The room suddenly became very quiet and I was afraid my rapid breathing would be heard. Then, the police spoke.

“I’m sure all of you know of the murder that took place at Denway Park, two days ago,” said a male police officer who was very young and attractive looking. “My name is Officer Reeves and here is my partner Officer Jane,” Officer Reeves gestured a hand towards a serious and young looking woman. She nodded at the audience. “Now, I’m sure there are rumors surrounding what happened, and I am here from the Police Department to let you know what is going on,” He stopped for a while, the silence was too much, I couldn’t stand it. My heart was pumping at a rapid pace I was scared it would suddenly stop. But then Officer Jane stepped in, her tied up brown ponytail swinging back and forth as she paced across stage with her hands behind her back.

“We have identified the victim yesterday afternoon, and only now we can tell you who it is. It is a student from this school,” Officer Jane stopped for a couple of seconds, all the students held their breath. I think I actually stopped breathing at one point. “The student’s name was Harley Groves, his parents were notified early yesterday afternoon,” When Officer Jane said his name, everyone gasped and broke up in talks and whispers. All the teachers were shushing them but at the same time looking shocked too. When the talks had died down, they put in their full attention at Officers Jane and Reeves. I looked at Kate, whose face looked scared.

“We don’t have any other information for you, only that it was a murder, and that we’ll find whoever did this and they’ll be going away for a long time. Are there any questions?” called out Officer Reeves as he looked at the students carefully. All the students put their hands up. “Besides who the killer is,” He added quickly. Most of the students groaned and nearly everyone put their hands down. Only one person had their hand up.

“Yes?”

“It’s a question about Harley sir,” said a small third year male, he looked miniscule and his voice was slightly squeaky.

“Keep going,” urged on Officer Jane. The little boy spoke again.

“When are you going to release the body for a funeral?” All the students looked at him. I don’t think they’ll go for the funeral, I thought quietly to myself, if they go, they’ll only go for the curiosity and publicity. It was Officer Reeves that spoke this time.

“The body will only be released after the investigation into the murder is finished. Otherwise the body will stay in the morgue pending the investigation,” The boy nodded quickly and didn’t speak again. The Officers turned back to the audience again.

“While the investigation is still ongoing, the Police Department will be notifying the occupants of Hector of any new news that comes to our attention. But if anyone has any insight on what happened, please tell let us know,” Both Officers gave a quick nod to the teachers and walked out of the assembly area. Just as the Officers left, students began muttering and whispering to each other.

“There’s an investigation!”

“I heard he was slashed up in pieces!”

“I can’t believe that kid asked about a funeral!”

“What a douche,”

I couldn’t take it listening to people voices, so I grabbed Kate and Juliet and went outside near the trees where we couldn’t be heard.

“What’s the matter?” said Kate in a concerned voice. Juliet nodded.

“What’s wrong?” I couldn’t believe what I was hearing.

“What’s the matter? What’s wrong?” I whispered furiously, looking around at the same time in case anyone heard me. “It’s everything! I can’t take this anymore, we have to tell the police what happened,” Juliet scoffed and Kate recoiled beside her.

“Like they’ll believe us, a monster in Hector? Might as well be a human who could fly maybe that’ll be more believable,” said Juliet in a scorned voice.

“How can you talk like this?” I said frowning at Juliet angrily. “This isn’t something you can get over within three days. I really can’t take it; I can’t stop thinking about it,”

“Calm down Lena,” said Kate, as she put a hand on my shoulder. “We’re all as freaked out as you are. But we can’t say anything to the police, they won’t believe us anyway,” I looked at Kate and Juliet, I thought about the hex bag, I thought about that night, the night that changed our lives. I nodded and then I started walking away, hoping Kate and Juliet weren’t following me.

I know that this has been a while now, I saw both trailers on the first days they both came out. But for those who haven't seen it, feel free to take a sneak peak at the upcoming blockbusters of 2011!!!!!

TRANSFORMERS 3: THE DARK OF THE MOON

PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN 4: ON STRANGER TIDES

HAVE FUN WATCHING! I'M SERIOUSLY PSYCHED! WOO!

NO SACRIFICE, NO VICTORY!

DRINK UP ME HEARTIES YO HO!

Severus Snape. To be an Animagus or not an Animagus? That is the question.

2010-11-05T03:27:00.006+11:00

Now as an avid and obsessed Harry Potter fan, I have read each books more than 20 times each. That's right, EACH! Yeah, I have a lot of time on my hands, plus i read fast. :)
Anyway, imagine reading something you think you are a whizz at, only to find out something had slipped your mind the ENTIRE TIME! First of all, come on! Snape is hot! He is such a badass.

SPOILERS FOR THOSE WHO HAVEN'T READ THE BOOK!

Okay, to start off, I have the LG Optimus phone, so you get android applications. I picked the Harry Potter trivias, and whizzed by them all! Except for one. It was a question on what form of an animal does Snape take? Now, throughout my whole knowledge of Harry Potter, I have never heard of Snape being an Animagus at all! So I quickly looked it up on the internet and found that there are questions and theories surrounding the fact the Severus may indeed be an Animagus.

Crap, I forgot to tell you what Animagus means for those who don't know. An Animagus is basically a person that can transform themselves into a chosen animal (most likely based on looks and personality) with pretty heavy magic involved.

Now those Harry Potter fans know who the main Animagus's are.
James Potter: Stag -unregistered
Sirius Black (so sexy!): Large Black Dog - unregistered
Minerva McGonagall: Tabby Cat - registed
Peter Pettigrew: Rat aka Scabbers (Ron's pet). - unregistered
Rita Skeeter: Beetle - unregistered

Now, you see on that list that most of them are on the unregistered list, that means that they did it illegally, and the Ministry of Magic didn't know about it. Since there are so many unregistered Animagus's around, maybe someone else we know could be one and we don't know it?! Maybe it could be Severus Snape!

Clues and Theories:

1. The Triwizard Tournament (GoF): Remember the Sphinx that Harry encounters? She gives him a riddle?

"First think of the person who lives in disguise, Who deals in secrets and tells naught but lies."

- p. 629, GoF

Now, Harry guesses that it could be a 'spy'. Because a Spy lives in disguise and deals in secrets and always tells lies. Now this reminds me of Snape. Snape in fact is a 'spy' for Dumbledore, always as been. He lives in lies as Voldemort thinks that Snape is really his faithful Death Eater, but he isn't.
Harry was given yet another riddle to solve.

"Now string them together, and answer me this, Which creature would you be unwilling to kiss?"

p. 629, GoF

Harry here, guessed the riddle to be a Spider. "Spy-spy-er-spy-er-spider!" (or something to that effect). He found out that a Spider will be attacking right after he is allowed to get past. Now who wouldn't want to kiss Snape? I'd sure love to, but not in his Spidey form of course hehe.

2. "Harry sat there staring at Snape as the lesson began, picturing horrific things happening to him . . . If only he knew how to do the Cruciatus Curse . . . he'd have Snape flat on his back like that spider, jerking and twitching. . . ."

- p. 300, GoF

Now, I'm sure we remember that scene in the book and movie where Mad Eye Moody (or Barty Crouch Jr) tested the 3 Unforgivable Curses on Spiders. (Avadra Kedavra (killing), Imperius (controlling) and Cruciatus (excruicating pain)),

3. "Harry looked around and glimpsed Snape a short way away, moving between the tables toward the doors into the entrance hall, still absorbed in his own examination paper. Round-shouldered yet angular, he walked in a twitchy manner that recalled a spider, his oily hair swinging around his face."

- p. 643, OotP

Now this scene in the book is where Harry goes into the Pensieve (which holds memories) and lands in one of Snape's high school (or shall I say Hogwarts) memories. You see how Snape's characteristics are like a spider? There is way more to come I tell you! :D

4. A hand had closed tight over his upper arm, closed with a pincerlike grip. Wincing, Harry looked around to see who had hold of him, and saw, with a thrill of horror, a fully grown, adult-sized Snape standing right bedside him, white with rage."

- p. 649, OotP

This scene in the book is where Snape catches Harry peeking into his memories. Note his 'pincerlike grip'. Spiders have the habit of catching their prey with a 'pincerlike grip'. Eeeee, so exciting! :D Snape has a 'prowling walk, likes to be in the darkness, cold black eyes and greasy hair'.

5. But it was no use-the spider was either so large, or so magical, that the spells were doing no more than aggravating it. Harry had one horrifying glimpse of eight shining black eyes and razor-sharp pincers before it was upon him."

- p. 631, GoF

Now, note the 'shining black eyes' and 'sharp pincers' of the Spider. This scene was in the Triwizard Tournament, it was just after solving The Sphinx's riddle and Harry finding out that it was a Spider that will be attacking him. And of course the Spider is pissed, just like Snape is all the time.

6. Now Sirius mentions in Prisoner of Azkaban, that before Snape went into Hogwarts, he knew a lot of dark magic and curses than anyone! Now that brings us to his hatred with James Potter, Sirius Black, Remus Lupin and Peter Pettigrew (Prongs, Padfoot, Moony and Wormtail). Snape has always hated them, especially James. Maybe it was his undying love for Lily that made him hate him so much. Maybe he was already an Animagus before going into Hogwarts?

7. Severus Snape lives in a place called 'Spinner's End'. Ooh! Spinner's End! You get it? Like a Spider spinning a web? That sort of thing? Are you getting excited? Because I sure am! I'm sure you can tell! :)

8. In Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, Harry has a conversation with Aragog (who is Hagrid's Massive Spider Pet). He asks Aragog if he ever hurt anyone, to which Aragog replies that he was raised by Hagrid in the cupboard and that he has never hurt anyone and their kind like the dark and quiet. This reminds me of Snape, although like Spider's, they like to attack, which Snape does on most occasions, he attacks his students with venomous insults. Snape seems to come out of the darkness most of the time, wears a lot of black too (can you imagine him wearing colourful clothes?!).

"Snape had imposed his personality on the room already, it was gloomier than usual, as the curtains had ben drawn over the windows, and was lit by candlelight."

(CoS)

9. In Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Harry has his first lesson of Occlumency (which will help block Voldemort's thoughts, oops I mean He Must Not Be Named, out from Harry's mind). Harry is startled by Snape's voice speaking to him from out the shadows. The only light in the room is a candle and the pensieve.

10. Now you've read Chamber of Secrets. So you know about the Basilisk (A gigantic serpent). There is a clue here that Snape is a spider once again.

Spiders flee before the Basilisk, for it is their mortal enemy, and the Basilisk flee's only from the crowing of the rooster, which is fatal to it.

Do you remember when they find out that a girl (Ginny) was taken into the Chamber itself? Harry and Ron (in the invisibility cloak) go into the teacher's staffroom and overhear that the Basilisk has taken Ginny. Now you'd think that Snape is a tough guy right? Wrong.

Snape gripped the back of the chair very hard and said, "How can you be sure?"

Now, I know everyone was scared of it, but we're really focusing on Severus at the moment. Maybe his spider senses started making him freak out, as spider's are scared of the Basilisk? I mean, it was SO easy for Hermione to figure out that the Monster was a Basilisk (right before she got stoned, haha get it?). So we know for a fact that Snape isn't as dumb as he doesn't looks hehe, so maybe he could've figured that out too? Right?

11. Now I found out something REALLY exciting! I think you'll jump at this. There is a kind of spider called Callobiius Severus. Spooky right?! More to come!

12. Now, I'm sure by now you guys are itching for MORE clues right? Now we will talk about his physical appearances like before. We know he lives in 'Spinner's End', likes dark and quiet places.

'Round shouldered, yet angular, he walked in a twitchy manner that recalled a spider, and his oily hair was jumping about his face."

"Feet away, towering above him, was a solid walls of spiders, clicking, their many eyes gleaming in

their ugly black heads..."

Now, if you've read the book heaps of times, you'll note that Harry describe Snape's hair and skin as being 'greasy' and 'oily'. Now if you look up Spiders, all of them produce a natural body of oil.

Harry usually thinks that Snape has a ugly head. And that J.K.Rowling describes Snape

s eyes as "glittering, gleaming and glistening'. Remember that 'pincer-like' grip Snape has when he finds Harry snooping through his memories?

13: Now get ready for something else exciting! In Goblet of Fire, Cedric and Harry 'ganged up' on the Spider when they encountered it. They used a disarming spell and the spider 'kneeled sideways'.

Now in The Order of the Phoenix, in Snape's Hogwarts Days, he is 'ganged up' by James Potter and Sirius Black, when he is attacked, he 'kneeled over sideways'. *jumps in excitement!*

So now, after reading all this (thanks for being so patient and reading it too), for all you Harry Potter fans, what do you think? Do you think that Severus Snape is an Animagus, or do you think that we've read too much into the story? Maybe J.K.Rowling hid it from us so we could figure it out ourselves. Have I persuaded you yet that you believe it? Or do you think that it's just a bunch of coincidences? In my opinion, there is no such thing as TOO many coincidences,

Please tell me what you think? What is good? Do you believe it? I find Severus more freaky now, I hate Spiders (my worst fear), just imagine. Still one of the best characters ever! :D

Bloody Mary. Is she real? Or just a story to scare kids and teenagers?

2010-11-02T17:47:00.001+11:00

Everybody has heard of the legend Bloody Mary. Right? If you haven't let me give you a summary of what the legend is actually about.

Now, there are so many different versions of Bloody Mary, and each has it's own different version. But always, they end with the same story. You say her name at least a few or three times in front of a mirror, mostly at Midnight (because it's the witching hour), and she'll come and kill you.

Now is this real? Is this something we can leave for imagination? Or is this real and we are stupid for even trying it out?

I wouldn't know myself. I am a paranormal buff and even though I kind of don't believe it, I will never try it. Not in this lifetime. Other people have had experiences with Bloody Mary. But are they faking it for the attention of the public, or did they really see something that scared nearly half to death? I'm sure you've seen shows or movies about Bloody Mary right? There is Supernatural Season 1 - Bloody Mary (good!), Ghost Whisperer Season 3 - Don't Try This At Home (good too!) and Urban Legend - Bloody Mary and also The Candyman series which is based off Bloody Mary. All have different stories and versions but all have the same story. If you know what I mean, I think I confused myself just then.

Anyway, the legend of Bloody Mary starts off with Mary I of England, Queen regnant of England and Queen regnant of Ireland from 19 July 1553 until her death. Now she was nicknamed Bloody Mary because of her reputation. This woman kind of scares me eek.

So now you know the short version of the story and the small history behind it. You want more information? Look it up on Google, because if I keep writing about her, it'll be way more than a page long (you know how I love writing), and by more than a page later, you'll start to get bored.

But don't worry! More Urban Legends/Myths to come! :D

Please tell me if you have ever tried the Bloody Mary dare, and tell me what your experiences are. :)

Murder Case: The Secret

Written by

S.K.SAINI

- Chapter 1 -

Witness

It is a stormy night on the 15th of January, 2005; everyone is soundly sleeping, cats were marauding happily down the street, wondering around curiously near the neighbour’s houses and three girls (me included) were strutting along the outskirts of Hector. Coming back from a friend’s party and heading towards home, Kate Hampton, Juliet Singer and I were talking amongst ourselves. Thinking back I realized that after this night, all our lives were changed forever and there was no going back from it.

Kate Hampton is my best friend. We have known each other for almost our whole life. She has blonde, long hair which ends at the small of her back, and when you look at her baby blue eyes they pierce right through your body. For looks, Kate is pretty, but sometimes the acne on her face demolishes the prettiness. But I don’t care about that. Kate and I have this sisterly bond, we both know straight away whether either one of us are in trouble or sad. She is the nicest person you could ever meet. She is one of those friends who would come over straight away when you become sick; she is one of those friends who would see through to the end of the day that you’d get better.

Juliet Singer is my other friend. She isn’t as close to me as Kate is, but she is good person. She is the only one who would help make decisions that impact our friendship. Sometimes Juliet has an anger problem, and she always takes it out on other people. Horrible I know, but she is basically the tough one of our trio. She has an older sister and her parents fight a lot. My mum doesn’t really like Juliet coming over as much because she was afraid that she might influence me into drugs or something. Juliet isn’t anything like Kate. Unlike Kate who would come over and help you, Juliet will be the kind of person who will tell you to get over it and suck it up. There was a reason why I wasn’t as close to her as Kate, a reason why were didn’t really bond with each other as much, because Juliet liked to say what she thought with no regard to the persons feelings or emotions. She is a very direct and controlling person. Maybe the reason we became friends in the first place, is because she is honest, and honesty is a good thing my opinion, even if it can be vicious.

We are walking silently now, and my heart is smashing into my chest. I look around me, and see only trees and houses. I try not to look up at the sky. I hate the dark. I just hate it. Maybe because I know what’s out there in the dark, things that can get to you before you can even react. I am a paranormal freak. I love reading about mysterious and scary mythical creatures and ghosts. I guess the consequences resulted in my phobia of the dark. You never know what’s out there. Just watching. Waiting. Great, now I’m paranoid. That’s what I get for letting my mind do all the thinking.

We are still walking down the street when a roll of thunder sounded. Kate stopped walking and looked up in fright. Juliet and I both stopped when we realized that she wasn’t with us.

“What the hell was that? Was that thunder?” She looked at me and Juliet with her eyes wide open. Juliet and I looked at each other. Kate has a phobia of thunder. We both nodded and started dragging Kate along as we started up walking along the sidewalk. Another crash of thunder filled the quiet night, followed by a streak of lightning which hit nearby power lines. Suddenly it became very dark and I didn’t like it at all. Shit.

This time it was me who looked around in fright, and because I have a phobia of the dark, I panicked even more. I grabbed a hold on Kate’s shirt.

“I can’t see anything! It’s too dark!” I cried out in fear. Kate pulled my hands away from her shirt and calmed me down softly. She was still trembling from before. Juliet just rolled her eyes at me. So much for helping me.

“You don’t have to be scared, we’re with you, and nothing is going to hap-“

Kate’s words were cut off by the sound of running footsteps near the trees. “What the hell was that?” whispered Kate fearfully, as she looked at me and Juliet once again with wide, shocked eyes. She jumped at basically anything, and always caused the rest of us to freak out a little.

“It-It sounds like someone running,” I said, I tried to comfort her a little, but my own heart was racing nonetheless. It’s just someone running, right? What else could it be?

“It’s coming this way!” hissed Juliet quietly.

We all held our breath, our hearts pumping and beating so fast you’d think we ran a marathon. I felt Kate stiffen beside me in panic.

The footsteps were getting louder. I was more terrified because I couldn’t see anything and the thunder and lightning seemed to make my phobia worse.

Juliet screamed and I think my heart almost failed, not to mention the height in which we all jumped in the air.

“Piss off Harley!” screamed Juliet angrily, as she pushed a laughing Harley Groves out of her way.

Harley Groves is in the same year level as us. He is the type of guy, who wanted to be hated by everyone, and so he annoyed everybody with his brainless and lame made up jokes, his irritating voice and sleazy gestures. Even though he brought it on himself, I kind of felt sorry for him. And by kind of I mean such a tiny feeling that it doesn’t even register that I’m feeling like that.

Did I mention he was a complete sleaze bag?

Harley burst out laughing, his crooked teeth visible as his mouth opened wide with laughter. The idiot tried to scare us and won. Kate and I were pulling Juliet back to stop her from beating the crap out of Harley. At one point Kate accidently let go of her arm but quickly grabbed it again. Harley jumped back from Juliet playfully.

“I’m surprised you haven’t been put on a leash, Singer. You need to be tied up,” teased Harley as he came closer and closer to a fuming Juliet, who was starting to go red in the face from seething anger.

“Shut up Harley!” I yelled angrily while still trying to restrain a fuming Juliet.

“Although the fantasy of you being tied up is actually better than I thought it would be,” Juliet growled and tried to claw Kate and I, as she tried freeing herself to attack Harley. But Harley ran away laughing uncontrollably because he knew that he stirred up the raging animal in Juliet.

“Juliet!” I panted, as Kate and I were struggling with a scratching and angry Juliet. “Stop it! You’re stooping down to his level!” This last line stopped Juliet, and after a few seconds of calmness, when Kate and I thought it was safe to unhand Juliet, we let her go carefully. She whipped around to face us angrily, her eyes piercing with accusation and hatred.

“Why the fuck did you two grab me for?” Kate and I looked at each other like that wasn’t the easiest question in the world.

“We grabbed you because you would’ve attacked Harley,” Kate said even more angrily, mainly because Juliet had sweared at us. Juliet turned to Kate, I could see the anger etched in the lines of her face, and I wondered at this point why I became friends with Juliet. She is such an angry person, I had no idea how I became friends with her in the first place.

“Whose side are you on Kate?” seethed Juliet angrily. “Are you on Harley’s side?” Kate stammered, but I jumped in to save her. Kate never really did well in fights. I turned to Juliet angrily.

“How can you talk to your own friend like that? We are not on anyone’s side. Yes he was in the wrong with what he said, but you are also in the wrong when you tried to attack him. That makes you no better than he is,” Juliet fumed even more, but we all froze in shock as a sickening scream shattered the conversation to silence.

“What was that?” whispered Juliet to Kate and me fearfully.

“I think that sounded a lot like Harley don’t you think?” I said to Juliet and Kate, also at the same time trying to hear the screaming phenomenon again. Kate nodded in agreement.

“I think it –“ But Kate was cut off by Juliet who quickly shushed her.

“Shhh! Can you hear that?” All three of us suddenly became quiet, and sure enough the same scream was heard, but this time it was moving further away. Juliet started running and stupidly, Kate and I instantly did the same. We ran along the road, our loud running footsteps scraped the pavement as we ran faster and faster, the sound of the scream was getting closer and closer and my heart was thumping in my chest it hurt. It was still too dark to see, but with the help of dim streetlights, I was following Juliet and Kate. As we ran across the road, we headed to Denway Park. The sound of the scream had to be here, I wondered in my head while running and nearly tripping over at the same time. The sound of the scream was so close, we all halted in our steps with shock at what we saw.

In the night we could barely see, a black hooded figure kneeling over something, sucking noises coming from its black hood, like it was eating something, I knew then that the creature was eating someone. The person was making gargling and choking noises. My gut was pulled back and I suddenly felt sick in the stomach. Suddenly the person became quiet. I turned my face away and took a big gulp of air to take the queasiness away. Kate accidently stood on a twig making the black hooded creature look up from his prey and look in our direction. We all froze, trying not to move. I think my heart stopped for that moment. It just kept looking at our direction as if it couldn’t see us. Luckily for us it didn’t seem to see anything, and after what felt like forever, the creature went back to devouring the poor soul who was lying helplessly on the ground.

I felt my heart start beating again; it was beating frantically against my chest. I looked at Kate’s face, it was filled with horror and shock, and Juliet’s face seemed to be a bit sick. The three of us stayed halted in the same place, unable to move, afraid it would actually see us this time.

When the creature finished, it stood up. It was as tall as a full grown man, we all kept silently still, not even breathing, afraid the creature was going to find us too, but all it did was open its black cape, with hands I couldn’t see, and to our uttermost horror, sprouted black wings. It protruded from its thick body, and with the wings flapping so powerfully, it flew off from the ground and into the clouds.

The three of us waited for a couple of minutes in case the creature came back, but when it didn’t we all slowly headed cautiously to where the dead mass lay gruesomely mangled on the Park ground. We all gasped in shock as we reached the body. Judging from its hair, and mangled face, it was indeed Harley Groves, the lifeless body lay still and silent. Kate burst into loud tears and Juliet quickly took her away from the body, telling her to shut up at the same time. I didn’t follow them, but I did move closer to the body because something had caught my eye. I didn’t go too close however, but the body was laid in an awkward angle, his stomach was ripped wide open and all the insides were nearly, completely eaten away, leaving chunks of intestine and possibly other organs lying on his body and on the ground.

Shit. I covered my mouth with my sleeve, afraid at the thought that I might chuck up all over the dead body. I don’t know why I did it but I started examining his face, with my sleeve still on my mouth.

The skin was viciously ripped apart at the forehead down to the nose. The only way I could identify Harley was because of his unique stud which was now dangling from what was left of his lip. My eyes remained on Harley’s mangled face, studying every tear that was used to be his skin. It seemed like the creature has claws. I could see the muscles through the torn skin. There was a bleeding hole where his left eye used to be. His right eye was torn open, and a white fluid was seeping out of what was left of his eye.

I looked further down near his stomach area where his chewed up organs lay on the ground. I gulped back a bit of vomit and moved my face away from the body to breathe. After a couple of minutes when my stomach settled down, I turned back to the body. I over-looked the intestines and looked at the gaping hole in what used to be Harley’s stomach. Nearly everything was gone. It was like the creature had sucked out nearly everything of his insides, spilling out bits of flesh around the body.

As I was gawking at Harley’s open stomach, something else caught my eye. Something solid was protruding out of his left jacket pocket and curiosity got the best of me as usual. I pulled my sleeves up further and made sure my hand was covered; I reached into his left pocket and pulled out a small black bag. I examined it carefully and instantly knew what it was. The hex bag was the size of my palm, it had white string tied tightly around it and an unusual aroma was coming from the bag. The smell wasn’t strong, but it was sifting through my nose, making my stomach lurch again. My gut suddenly had a bad feeling and I knew that this hex bag meant no good. But nevertheless I carefully got a spare plastic bag from my purse and put the hex bag into it. I shoved the plastic bag into my own bag and continued to examine the body. I know I shouldn’t be doing it, but for some reason a feeling was telling me I had to.

I got up, unable to look at the body again. I looked up at the sky, it was still overcast and dark, and my brain went into panic mode once again. Calm down, I comforted myself as I looked away from the sky. I have bigger problems than the dark right now. Yeah, real comforting Selena, that’s real helpful right now.

Near the bushes, Kate and Juliet were standing near the trees, watching me look at something on the ground.

“How can she even go near the body?” sobbed Kate quietly. Juliet patted her back once and quickly took her arm away.

“She can handle these kinds of things. We can’t,” whispered Juliet resentfully.

“What the hell was that thing?” said Kate, whose voice was getting louder by every word. Juliet shushed her and looked to where I was.

After I finished, I got up and went to Kate and Juliet who were huddled by the bushes.

“Are you done?” Juliet said quietly. I nodded speechless. Kate was listening attentively. “What happened?”

I looked at them, all the clues and evidence that was stuck in my mind, it felt so terrible I didn’t want to say it. I gulped back tears that were finally trying to come out.

“From the looks of it, Harley was chased down and fatally attacked like we saw,” Kate looked worryingly at Juliet. But Juliet’s stern look still didn’t change.

“How do you know he was chased down? You can’t conclude a hypothesis just from looking at the body,”

“From what we heard it was pretty obvious. I wasn’t only looking at the body. Follow me,” I showed Kate and Juliet a fine patch of green grass near Harley’s body. “Have a look closely, you can barely see it but you’ll see footprints,”

Kate and Juliet leaned in close where the grass was. You had to lean in pretty close to see because there was no moonlight and sure enough, there was a one set of footprints that was imprinted in the grass, but there was something wrong.

“The footprints are like one foot away from the body,” said Kate, who was still half sobbing. “How is that?” Juliet realized what Kate was on about and turned to me for answers.

“Well Sherlock Holmes, what do you think?” I gave Juliet a dirty look; I always hated it when Juliet called me Sherlock Holmes, she made it like I was some kind of crazy person that loves playing detective all the time, which wasn’t true of course.

“I realized it when I was walking back to you guys actually. I think that the creature was chasing after Harley, grabbed him while it was still flying and killed him right there,” I indicted the bloody mass that lay on the ground two feet away from us. I wiped tears that were slowly coming out of my eyes.

“What makes you think he was running?” asked Kate fearfully, as she deliberately avoided looking at Harley’s dead corpse. I showed them the footprints again; clearly you could see that the footprints were far away from each other.

“The footsteps are far apart from each other. When we walk, the footsteps are closer together. But when you are running, your footsteps have a larger gap between them. Then there is a large break where his footsteps and body are,” I quickly wiped away more tears. “Because the creature can fly, we can only assume it must’ve grabbed him. Plus you know what we heard before this happened. If it were flying at you, you’d run too,” We all looked at the dead, eaten corpse of Harley Groves.

Also, I was wondering, if I was to make an official facebook page of my author name (which includes everything in my blog), will people join it? I'm afraid they won't, so I was wondering, should I do it? Also what did you think of my chapter? Will it make people want more? Thanks. :D Please pass this blog to everyone you know. :D

A video of Supernatural I made. Please watch and comment. :)

2010-09-02T01:30:00.000+10:00

Okay, before watching this video, those who haven't seen Supernatural Season 2 shouldn't watch this. I don't want you to be spoiled.

The song is called Forgiven by Within Temptation. One of my favourite bands. :)

Now those who have read my blog posts, know that i'm a Supernatural freak and I love Jensen. Woop!

This video is basically self explanatory if you watch it. I personally love it, but I know I could've made it better. Which I probably will once I get every season of Supernatural in my hands.

Please comment..

A Clone's Life by S.K.SAINI (DRAFT)

2010-08-07T02:42:00.002+10:00

Prologue:

‘I looked around me, my heart pumping faster than it should be. The world around me seems to be different, the smell of the air and dust from the sky, the feel of the air and heat on my skin, the taste of foods and feelings of people I’d once loved and me. I feel broken inside, something inside has been taken away from me, it feels so wrong and I am confused, scared and I have no idea what is happening to me. The world has made me look like an ant, surrounded by the harsh bonds of immortality and death. It seems to be clearer to my eyes, but the clearer it gets, the more questions I need heeded. How did I get to be here? Why was I made? What purpose do I have in life? Why do I have such vivid memories? So vivid and real, it feels like it came from another person. I am an abomination of God, as told by the protesters who bombarded me when I walked out of the building unsteadily and into my new and different life. I feel incomplete, soulless, I don’t feel human. I look at the faces of the two people who have already sealed my fate with their eyes and taunting tones. They were surrounding me now, their eyes imagining cruel and harmful images of what to do to me. My eyes close as I feel the sharp of the laser penetrate my skin, my world and purpose ripped apart by my very existence. I feel myself falling and falling until there is nothing but blackness...’

Chapter One: The beginning

The world is a very big place. Technology has been around since the dawn of time began, and here we are, still advancing to more and greater findings that are being discovered every single day. Advances in technology have led to many diseases and conditions being cured. We can now create living organs without having to wait for a transplant and the waiting list for transplant patients has long been abolished. One question has haunted us since before we could even think. Can we live forever? Can we find a way to prolong our existence in this world? Can you make the impossible, possible?

For many years now, scientists have been experimenting on embryos, studying them, noting them down, copying them, trying to recreate the same genetic material as the original copy.

The process is called ‘recombinant DNA technology’ or in other words, DNA cloning. It is a process that transfers a DNA fragment of a living organism into a foreign host cell. Even though the technology has been around since the 1970’s, technology has advanced so much that you don’t need to do reproductive cloning anymore (remember Dolly the Sheep?). Scientist’s can now created skins, organs and a human body which is given birth by surrogates (which is top secret, so even I don’t know that much).

It has been sixty-three years since the world proscribed human cloning. The Government disapproved of the human cloning laws because it was unethical and unnatural, and too much life was being wasted and killed for one little purpose.

Immortality.

You would think that the majority of people in this world would want to live forever and would do anything they can to make that happen. I was wrong.

Protestors from both sides of this conflict rallied all over the world because of this new found law. It is the world of 2070, and even though cloning was abolished, scientists still practiced illegitimately worldwide in secluded places where they could not be traced. One genetic lab in fact, was doing illegal experimentations right here in my hometown. For my own safety, I will not say where I live. Even though the genetic lab was known to the public, they had found a loophole in the government’s law to bypass the abolished cloning experiments. I once thought that living in the world 2070 would be futuristic, flying cars, robots walking all over the place. I was wrong again. The world is still a dog eat dog place, although certain animals I’d once read about such as the Polar Bear and Panda Bear have long been extinct.

I’d read about Charles Darwin once. His theory of evolution instituted that every single life have evolved over time from certain common ancestors. Humans being evolved from Primates, who in simple terms, got smarter and technological in time.

We didn’t know of course, but we could tell the lab was a special place, surrounded by guards at the very steps of its grand entrance and thick marble building; they were trying to perfect what no one else had done.

After years of research and fatally vile experimentations, the Bio-tech Lab created the so called Perfect Clone, one with no imperfections at all, or so they thought...

My best friend, a man named Edmond Caviezel died due to a weak heart, his corpse buried in the cemetery next to his grandfather, six feet below the ground, resting in peace.

What everyone didn’t know was that scientists were trying to cheat death. Time and time again they tried and failed, but persistence encouraged them to try and find a way to live forever. They worked day and night, working they like have never worked before, studying and taking notes so much, that soon they made a copy, they finally made a living clone.

He was like Edmond in so many ways. He would walk the same, speak with the same cheerful tone, he even looked just like Edmond. Even though I was his only friend, he was still lonely, I could see it in his eyes; I could hear it in the tone of his voice, I could feel it from the touch of his fingers. He felt isolated from the world, an alien. He couldn’t even make friends with anyone, not now that everyone knew the real Edmond had died two years previously. Even I became an outsider, people scoffed at me, wondering at how I could be friends with this abomination. I will tell you two words. Pity and love.

A clone has no rights; they can’t have their own identity and they can’t even have their very own life without being ridiculed and leered at. There is a prejudice in the world against clones because they were not considered as humans; they are copies of people, replacements which is why there is fear worldwide. They are afraid humanity will be overtaken by copies of themselves after they die, walking the Earth soulless and alive with their memories intact. Churches all over the world rallied together, against this piece of horror. They say clones don’t have a soul, which are apparently the indication of a devil worshipper or ‘The Devil’s Work’.

To be continued...(I wrote more, but I'm showing this bit first.)

Tell me what you guys think, and how I can improve. Any comment is greatly appreciated. :)

Anyone want to see the new Pirates of the Caribbean teaser trailer? It's right here!

2010-07-23T23:06:00.000+10:00

It was shown at Comic-Con, and it's called Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides.

Hope you've enjoyed it. I know I did! Go Johnny! :S

Transformers 3 Update with filming pictures...

2010-07-16T15:00:00.001+10:00

Hey there fellow bloggers....
This is for those who are Transformer lovers (of the Michael Bay version).
Since Transformers 3 is in filming, I thought I'd write about the updates...
First of all...Megan Fox will not be reprising her role as Mikaela Banes in the future franchise...I for one am pissed off, but let's not get into that right now. Shia Labeouf (my first husband hehe) will have a new love interest (BOO!). Her name is Rosie Huntington, and this is her first time acting.
Right now they are filming at Chicago, so I wonder what they'll be filming there eh? Apparently there are skydivers there too, I'll post pictures up too.

Just to let you know, Optimus Prime has been given a trailer for his truck to make himself look more heroic:

The autobot Sideswipe has also undergone an upgrade, it's become a Chevy Stingray Convertible. :)

Rachet has undergone a paint job, and he has turned into a greeny colour, not yellow. Though I somehow prefer yellow.

This is Ironhide, who looks a teeny tiny bit different. You can see Optimus beside him a little bit. :)

Bumblebee has also been upgraded to look more mature. I reckon he looks even more AWESOME and still want the car very much :D

These are the skydivers I was talking about.

This is Rosie Huntington, the new love interest for Shia's character Sam Witwicky. It is confirmed that she will not be playing the character Mikaela Banes, and that she'll be playing an entirely new different character.

This is Shia Labeouf and Tyrese Gibson filming a scene. Maybe they're running from Decepticons? Another true fact, it is confirmed that Soundwave will be portraying the main villian in Transformers 3.

The NEST Team running across Franklin Street Jeffery, Shia and Rosie are behind them which they are in the next picture.

The old Bumblebee!!!!!!!!!!! :D This is just outside The Milwakee Museum. As you can see that is Shia tending to (possibly Bumblebee in disguise) the car over the bonnet and the sexy Patrick Dempsey right near him. :) Another true fact, the Bumblebee will still be the Chevy Camaro 2010.

The sweet pilotless planes as seen from the previous Transformers movies. They are using them again in TF3. You might also remember these planes from Eagle Eye (which also has Shia Labeouf). :)

Optimus Prime! :D

Shia Labeouf and Michael Bay :)

That is all for now, but another true fact is that they're using Nascars (possibly portrayed as Decepticons) with weapons and jets on the back of the car. The cars are based on the Chevy Impalas.

After looking at these pictures, what do you guys think so far?....I'll still watch it, but not in 3D, it won't be worth it, because of no Megan Fox...I still love you Shia! :D The release date for Transformers 3, will be 1st July, 2011. If you want to see videos of the filming, here they are in this link...

Beware that there can be spoilers in this link for Transformers 3 (which I haven't read the certain post myself, and don't plan to as I don't want to be spoiled).

Hope you've enjoyed this post, I certainly did. :)

Drawing of Megan Fox and my future husband :D

2010-07-15T01:56:00.004+10:00

I have new pictures! Woop :)
Plus, I will be updating about the new Transformers 3 movie too for those who are interested. I have updates from a website, for example where they are going to film and where they are filming, and there are videos of the set and filming for those that want to see.

As you can see, this is Megan Fox again (I love drawing her, but the picture isn't as well as I expected it to be).

Mindy and Jensen Ackles :D

I know Jensen is now happily married (I like his wife by the way, so i'm not jealous suprisingly hehe), but we can at least pretend to live our fantasies hehe.

That is all for now, I'm still drawing Orlando Bloom, so when I finish him, i'll post it up :) Let me know what you think of the above and how I can improve...

oxoxoxoxoxox

Who wants the Animorph/The Vampire Diaries/Twilight books by email?

2010-06-23T21:42:00.000+10:00

Who here loves The Animorphs Books?
I do! Personally, it was one of my most favourite shows ever when I was younger (still is).
My two most favourite have to be Jake (Shawn Ashmore) and Tobias (Christopher Ralph). I was in love with Tobias when i was little, and now it's one of my most favourite names.
I have the whole books series on my computer too (and I have The Vampire Diaries/Twilight books too).
So if anyone wants it, give me your email addresses and I'll send any one of them to you.
I love The Vampire Diaries more than Twilight..Twilight is more unrealistic in my opinion (I know vampire aren't real but what about the lore of it all?).
I have more drawings, but i'll put them up later...:D

2010-03-30T18:29:00.000+11:00

This is more drawings I did..

The first one is Shia Labeouf from Eagle Eye...Didn't turn out as well as I expected...

The second one is Megan Fox, she didn't turn out as well as I expected, she looks a bit fat. lol

And the last one is Harry Potter lol.

Tell me what you think and how I can improve.....:D

xoxoooxx

Reality sucks sometimes hehehe, I love my fantasies though :P

2010-03-07T18:56:00.000+11:00

hehehe I love this....

Michael Jackson drawing...better than my other post one.

2010-02-02T16:51:00.000+11:00

This is just something i drew a while ago. I couldn't draw his legs. because they wouldn't fit. My mistake lol.

I LOVE CAMAROS! :D

2009-11-17T01:10:00.000+11:00

Okay...First of all let me say that i never used to be a car person at all, until I first saw Transformers made by Michael Bay. Now if you've read my previous posts, you'd know that i am a Transformers Freak since Michael Bay's version of the movie. I have both movies as a collectable now, one is a Optimus Prime DVD case, and the other is a Bumbleebee DVD case :D :D :D :D WOOP! I seriously love both movies! :D I know most of the lines too hehehehe...now i'm just getting off track haha...

Anyway ever since Transformers, ever since i first laid eyes on the 2009/2010 Chevy Camaro, i fell in love with it! As i said before, i've never been a car person (thinking that only guys love cars, but i was wrong!), but after seeing that car, i've been obsessed! :D Seriously, i've never felt this way about a car before! I get so high and hyper just thinking about it! hehe...It has become my dream car...But the price is so damn expensive :( It's about $140 to $150, 000... :( Where the hell would i get that kind of money! Even working, i'd have to work half my life to get this car....

I was looking at the Toys R Us catalog a while ago, and i saw them selling a remote control Bumblebee that transforms into the Chevy Camaro! My heart flipped with excitement until i saw the price...about $116 :( I think i should really keep on trying to find a job.....GAH!
Anyway here are my favourite pictures of my dream car....Every colour looks soo good!

What I love about this car..it just looks so fierce and sexy at the same time! The paint job is just amazing and did i already mention looks? hehe...the fierceness also depends on the colour too :D

I seriously love the Yellow and Black :D But all of them are sooooooo good! I can keep on dreaming eh? hehe

Tell me what your dream car is...:D

2009-11-06T16:07:00.000+11:00

Just to let you guys know that i would love it, if people can read my 2 novel chapters in my blog and comment what you think about it. I would like to know what readers think if they read it...

Also i have the all the Twilight books on my computer, so if anyone wants it or you know anyone who wants it just give me your email address and i will send which ever of the books you want :D

Thanks for reading my blog you guys, I feel really happy...

Cheers

Mindy

A Poem about Art and Imagination (or in other words, Life and Death)

2009-10-26T17:02:00.000+11:00

ART AND IMAGINATION

You found me when i was at my worst,

You put me back together,

But something happened and you died,

I will cherish our memories forever,

I remember the day that i met you,

You were so full of life and happiness,

But i stand here by our fantasy place,

I feel like my life is becoming a mess,

I was Art, and you were Imagination,

You were always like the other half of me,

My eyes well up in a rain of tears,

As your ashes are drifted out to sea,

I will always think about the times,

That you and i had,

I promise to look out onto the horizon,

And never be sad,

You taught me a lot of things,

To open up your mind,

Just close your eyes and imagine a world,

There could be anything you can find,

Now i will go back to our fantasy place,

Where you were Imagination and i was Art,

I will close my eyes happily,

Because i know you'll always be in my heart...

I wrote this poem because whenever you lose someone special in your life (no matter who they are), they will always be a part of you and your memories that'll keep them alive. Bridge to Terabithia inspired me to write this poem, because it's such a touching and beautiful movie. I hope you guys like this poem as much as i do, and please comment and tell me what you think of it...

2009-10-25T02:25:00.001+11:00

Yay, i'm back now....after two days of bludging blogging, now i've come to my senses and i'm now in the mood of writing hehe...
Thanks for all that loved my previous drawings and poems :D I love them all too :D hehe and my Cry Baby Movie list hehe...

I've got more drawings that i made too....have a look..

Okay now to talk about my drawings....

The first picture is Ash Ketchum from Pokemon...i love Pokemon hehe, and once again i'll like to point out i'm a 19 year old woman who still loves watching it hehehehe :D It was again helped by a tutorial....:D

The Second Picture is Michael Jackson if you didn't recognise him...now if you've read my previous blogs you'll know by now that i suck at drawing people...even Michael didn't come out right :( There is just something wrong with his face in my opinion, but i'll hear yours...hehe. Again helped from a tutorial....

The next picture is Pichu from Pokemon hehe. This is one of the most adorable pokemons and it's soooo gorgeous and cute! hehe again a tutorial that helped me.

The next picture is Pikachu from Pokemon...Pikachu is the evolved form of Pichu as you can tell...Pikachu is my most favourite character in Pokemon and i'll have to admit i still bawl my eyes out on the episode called Pikachu's Goodbye which i re-watched yesterday with a box of tissues lol. Again helped by a tutorial...

The next picture is Norbet from Angry Beavers :D When i was little it was my most favourite tv show :D A long with many others as well hehe, i reckon the 90's had the best tv cartoon shows ever :D Like Captian Planet...woo! I don't think i did this from a tutorial, i drew it free hand :D

The next picture is Aladdin! Yay! hehe, I love Aladdin, one of the best Disney movies...along with Tarzan! :D This was from a tutorial too :D

The last picture i drew free hand (which means without any help or tutorials), it's just a cartoon girl hehe...

This picture is a promotion cover for Book Series that i'm making...it's a cross between Supernatural and Goosebumps :D It's not the actual cover, but i just made it on photoshop and this is what i came up with lol...when i do publish them...please buy my books lol...i'm afraid people won't buy them...in the mean time i'll keep writing and i'll next time put the blurbs of my stories on there and see whether it's interesting to you all or not :D Any advice is helpful in any way :D

Hope everyone is well....

Mindy

For my followers, if you've read my previous blogs, i'm sure you know by now that i love to draw, and also i love photoshopping too hehe, even though i'm not that good at it, it's still pretty good for a beginner i reckon...

The first picture you see up there is Optimus Prime from Tranformers, MY FAVOURITE! :D I happen to be a Transformers Freak after watching Michael Bay's version of the movies. I also thought that Transformers was a boy thing, but when i watched the movie, i realised how much i love it! Maybe it's because the graphics and CGI are sooo good! hehe and i've always loved Shia LeBeouf when i first saw Holes, his character Stanley Yelnats...loved it! :D Love IRobot and Constantine too :D Optimus was done by me from a tutorial that helped me...

The second picture is that of the grudge lol, the picture is me...people always tell me that i can play the grudge, maybe it's because of my long dark hair haha...my sister's hilarious words.. "I have to live with this thing" haha...this was photoshopped by the way...

The next picture was meant to be Orlando Bloom, but it came out as a Barbie kind of doll...here is the link....

http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3175/2696503797_59c81b8598_m.jpg

But i like this picture, i drew this picture free hand, without any tutorials. so that's what my drawings normally end up as, it's not always the person i intend to draw, the picture always comes out different and looks like someone else instead haha...

The picture next to that is Bumblebee off Transformers...ANOTHER ONE OF MY FAVOURITES! woo! I love bumblebee! :D This was also off a tutorial which helped me as well...they help me with my drawings...

The next picture is me and Shia! Woo! I know it looks fake, but i still love it, plus it looks quite real as my mobile wallpaper hehe :D Photoshopped once again :D

The last picture is me and Jensen Ackles photoshopped again hehe :D You might know him from Supernatural as Dean Winchester or Smallville as Jason Teague...I seriously love Jensen...I always call myself Mindy Ackles...best name for me i reckon haha...

Anyway i've drawn more pictures and i'll put them up soon...please comment and tell me what you think about them, good or bad comments is fine with me and please comment my previous blog too with my second novel chapter....before that my first one is there too...

Cheers

Mindy

- Chapter 2 -

The Secret

Suddenly for me, it became quiet. Too quiet that it was deafening to my ears. I suddenly realized that I couldn’t stand being here anymore. I just wanted to close my eyes and wake up hoping it’ll come off as a bad nightmare. But that wasn’t happening anytime soon. I decided to break the silence. I turned to face Juliet and Kate, who were also lost in thought.

“We have to go. We have to go to the police and tell them what happened,” I started to move with Kate, when Juliet grabbed my shoulders. I turned around to face her. “What is it?” Juliet’s face suddenly looked serious.

“You can’t tell anyone what happened,” I scoffed at her, as I couldn’t believe my own ears. What was she saying? Don’t tell anyone?

“What the hell do you mean don’t tell anyone?” I said angrily, glaring at Juliet with my piercing dark brown eyes. Behind me, Kate was agreeing with what I was saying. Juliet came in front of me and put her hands on my shoulders.

“It’s going to look suspicious if we tell the cops what we saw just then,” I looked at Juliet with a dumbfounded look. I looked at Kate then back at Juliet.

“What you think the cops are going to say that we killed Harley?” Kate said slightly angrily and horrified at the thought she had given. But I didn’t listen to what Kate had said; I was just looking at Juliet, trying to comprehend what was going on in her mind. I suddenly realized why Juliet said what she said.

“You’re not trying to protect us,” I said angrily. “You’re trying to protect yourself,” Kate looked at me confusingly, wondering what on earth I was talking about. Juliet took her hands off my shoulders and glared at me with her hazel eyes.

“What the hell does that mean?” said Juliet, equally as angry as me. “I didn’t kill the fucking bastard!”

“I know you didn’t kill Harley, but you do have motive for killing him. He said some things to you and you got angry, the cops will see you as a suspect,” There became silence again. Juliet and I were glaring at each other and Kate was looking at us both trying to figure out what to say. But it was Juliet that spoke up first. With her eyes still on me, she spoke.

“I call for a vote. Hands up for those who want it to be kept a secret,” Juliet put her hand up, with her eye still on me. I kept my hand down and looked sideways at Kate, who had her hand up.

“Kate, what are you doing?” I looked at Kate surprisingly and half angry. Kate still had her hand up, but she looked at me sadly.

“I’m sorry Lena, but I’m going with Juliet on this one,” said Kate sorrowfully. It looked like she was going to cry. “I don’t want my parents to find out what happened; I don’t want to be a suspect,” I looked at Kate dejectedly, but I couldn’t blame her. Juliet’s eyes lit up, and she gave a quick smile to Kate. They both put their hands down and stared at me.

“Majority rules Selena,” I looked at them both, trying to wonder how they can keep this a secret. “We’re keeping this a secret for our own safety,” Juliet looked at Kate who nodded in agreement, and then she turned her look to me.

“Are you with us Selena?” I looked at Juliet again, but I knew in my heart that a decision was made, and I had no choice but to accept it. I was only making the decision for Kate.

“Fine,” I said dejectedly, knowing that I had been defeated. “I won’t tell anyone,” Juliet gave another quick smile.

“Good, because no good will come out of this if we tell anyone,” said Juliet carefully. It’s still no good even if we don’t tell anyone, I said thoughtfully.

We all started walking back to our houses without a last glance at the dead corpse of Harley Groves lying on the grass in Denway Park. There was no talking this time, each one of us was lost in our own thoughts. I was in fact fuming inside. How can Juliet control us like that? What right does she have to tell us what to do? How can I keep this secret, knowing that it’s going to eat away inside of me as the days pass by? As we kept walking silently, we passed Kate and Juliet’s house, without even talking, we each gave each other a nod and they both went into their houses, closing the door shut behind them.

I was on my own now, walking home by myself. I kept sneaking glances up the night sky searching for signs of a large creature with wings. I still couldn’t believe what happened. After all this time I think back, I realized that this was the catalyst for events soon to come, and there was no stopping it.

“Selena, what’s wrong sweetie?” The voice quickly snapped me out of my thoughts and I realized that I was suddenly at home, standing in the living room and in front of me was the worried face of my mother.

“Oh,” I said quickly lost for words. “It’s nothing Mum. I’m just tired,” Mum looked at me; I quickly raised my eyes and looked at my mother. She was beautiful. Everybody always says that if there was a beauty pageant, my mother will be crowned first place. My mother’s name is Charlotte Gordon. She is a lot like me, long brown hair, dark brown eyes, and a smile so beautiful that it becomes contagious to anyone around her. Okay, I admit I went a little overboard with the contagious part. I turned my attention back to Mum. She still looked even more worried.

“Are you sure you’re okay? I called you when you came in, but you didn’t say a word,” I nodded.

“It’s just been a long day and I’d really like to go to bed,” I forced a smile, went up to my mother, hugged her tightly (she wouldn’t let go) and went up the stairs and into my room. I fell onto the bed; more thoughts came to my head. What was that creature? What was it doing there in the first place? Why did it kill Harley? What is that small bag? What is inside it? Why did my life have to start falling apart at this moment?

Suddenly thinking how exhausted I was. I climbed into my covers, with my clothes still fully on, and drifted off into an uneasy sleep, dreaming of the horrific incident that happened on a couple of hours ago…

I opened my eyes wearily and looked around. I was in my room and it took me a while to realize that I still had my clothes from last night on me. When I sat up in bed thinking of the events that took place last night, I looked at my clock, which showed twelve-fifteen in the afternoon. I had slept in. I got out of bed and stretched, I then went to my wardrobe and got out a long dark skirt with a white top and went into the bathroom to take a long and needed shower.

“Ah Selena you’re awake!” said Mum happily, as I came out from the bathroom, and into the kitchen area still looking tired.

“Morning’,” I said softly and hoarsely, as I still haven’t found my voice yet since waking up. I sat on the table just as my Mum put a plate of bacon and eggs in front of me as I was yawning loudly.

“It’s the afternoon now,” she said softly as she kissed me on the forehead. “I let you sleep in a bit, after last night,” I nodded without speaking and quietly ate my bacon and eggs.

“Where’s Kale, Karen and Dad?” I said as I had my mouth full of bacon. Mum sat down opposite me and took a piece of bacon from my plate.

“It’s a Sunday, so Kale is over at Jackson’s house, your father is still at the construction site working and Karen is out drinking with her friends,” I rolled my eyes while my Mum looked away. Karen is only four years older than me, I am 18 years old and she is 22 years old. Karen thinks that she can control me because she is the oldest. She shows off to her friends in front of me, treating me like a child. Even more to my humiliation, Karen gossips about me and the family to her friends, something which I hate among all other things. But even though she can be a bitch sometimes, Karen does have a good side which is loving and sisterly like. Kale on the other hand is like any other little brother, annoying. He is three years younger than me and even now he still likes to peep into my room or flick through my out-dated diary once in a while. But unlike any other little brother, Kale was my first and only best friend. We will tell each other anything and help each other out, which overall makes my mother very proud of us.

When I finished my late breakfast, I went up to my room and shut and locked the door behind me. I went to my desk, set a large piece of paper on the floor, went to my bag and got out the small black bag I found inside Harley’s jacket.The stale smell was still lingering, but I ignored it. I set the small black bag onto the paper and opened the white string with my hands, and when the black bag opened up a strong horrible smell wafted from inside the bag which made me nearly throw up. I got up again, went to my desk a second time and got out a pair of white disposable gloves from my drawer. I went back to the floor, and sat down.

Picking though the objects in the bag, I found the following:

A piece of bone, not sure what it was, but I was sure to check it out soon; two really small baby teeth, one dead black rose, three black pebbles and 2 small rocks. From what knowledge I could gather in my head, I knew that this was a hex bag. How do I know? I’ll tell you how. I’m into the paranormal and everything to do with it. You could say that I am obsessed with it. My mother always thought that getting into these things could mean trouble, but that now has been proved wrong. The knowledge proved to be useful once and for all. I got out a notebook and a pen and starting to record my findings.

“It is the 16th of January, 2005. I found a small black hex bag in the jacket of Harley Groves. I opened up the bag and found the following items:

• One unidentified piece of bone.

• Two really small teeth, very likely from a toddler or child.

• One dead black rose.

• Three black pebbles.

• Two small rocks from an unidentified location, very likely from a graveyard.

NOTE: Find out what kind of bone it is.”

I quickly put down the pen and re-read what I wrote. I suddenly forgot one more thing, the smell. You see, when you make a hex bag, you put a certain kind of aroma on the bag for it to effectively work. I quickly wrote down some more notes.

“Hex bag has a certain kind of aroma. Smells like something you get from the ocean mixed with a stale smell of an unknown source,” I closed the notebook and started drifting into my thoughts. From the evidence I could gather from the hex bag, someone tried to curse him. The hex bag worked, Harley Groves is now dead and decaying on the ground in Denway Park. But now so many more questions were running through my head. Who would want to curse Harley? There were so many people in school who hated him, so many people who’d give anything for him to die or get hurt. Why did that person put the hex bag in his jacket? Does the hex bag attract the creature that killed Harley? Or is the creature and the hex bag two different things all together? Maybe Harley crossed paths with someone who is into witchcraft, or was it meant for someone else? The questions kept coming and coming, and every time I tried to answer a question, another question will pop up as well as many theories. I came back to my senses again when there was a knock on my door.

“Who is it?” I called out as I quickly scrambled around putting the objects back into the bag (leaving out the piece of bone) and stuffing them into a drawer and locking them inside.

“It’s Kate,” said a silent and shy voice of Kate. “Can I come in?” I quickly put the bone into a pouch, stuffed it in my school bag and went to open the door.

Kate was standing there in a medium sized white skirt, with a pink blouse. Her hair was tied back into a ponytail today. She gave me a massive hug. I patted her back sympathetically, knowing what conversation was going to come up.

“Are you okay?” I said caringly, as we both parted and sat on the bed. Kate looked at me with tired and sad eyes. I observed that her eyes were puffy and red. She had been crying. She shook her head.

“I’m not okay Lena,” said Kate whose voice was starting to break up. “I couldn’t sleep the whole night last night. My eyes are red and puffy from crying so much and I’m just scared. I also feel guilty for taking Juliet’s side and not yours,” I looked at poor Kate, who had tears starting to well up in her eyes. I passed her a tissue from my bedside table.

“You don’t have to feel guilty about anything Kay. Just because you are my sister, doesn’t mean you have to take my side on every issue that comes along. I had nightmares of what happened last night too. It was a horrible experience for all of us,” Kate quickly took the tissue and started dabbing at her eyes. I looked at Kate for a bit wondering whether I should trust her enough to tell her about the hex bag. Kate looked at me while cleaning her eyes.

“What? Why are you staring at me like that?”

“Can I trust you with something?” Kate looked at me, wondering what on earth I was going to tell her about. She nodded her head. I then told her about the hex bag, about how I was looking through Harley’s body, finding the hex bag, opening it and discovering it contents and my theories. When I finished talking, Kate looked at me with her mouth wide open.

“You stole evidence,” Kate said slowly, as though trying to comprehend what I said to her. “You opened up a cursed bag which you think made Harley a target to that creature, and you stole evidence,” Kate sighed disappointingly as she looked at me. “I know you Lena; you would never do something like this, stealing evidence. Why are you trying to play detective all of a sudden?”

“I’m not trying to play detective,” I said, feeling slightly hurt by Kate’s response. “And I took the evidence because of a gut feeling I had, and you know about my gut feelings,” I added, glaring at Kate who looked a taken back. “I am telling you these things because I can trust you, if you break this trust and tell anyone else, even Juliet, I’ll never confide anything to you again,” Kate nodded.

“Why don’t you want Juliet to find out?” asked Kate. I scowled at her.

“Because I don’t trust her, I’m not as close to her as you are Kate. I only put up with her because of what she’s going through with her parents,” Kate nodded again, but this time more slowly. “What did you do when you went back home last night?”

“Everyone else was sleeping, so I just went to my room and tried to wait for sleep to come. But I couldn’t stop thinking about what happened. I still can’t believe it. What was that creature?” I knew how Kate was feeling because I was feeling the same way. But before I could reply, my Mum was calling us.

“Selena! Kate! I want you to come down here now!” called Mum from downstairs. The tone of my mother sounded panicky, and Kate and I looked at each other in fright and ran downstairs into the living room, where the television was switched on.

“Mum, what is i-“ But Mum shushed me and pointed my direction to a breaking news report that was playing on the television. Nicolas Papas who was the Channel Seven’s reporter, was speaking from the news desk. My heart was pounding, as I knew what this news report was about. I stood and listened.

The end of Chapter 2...It's still a draft by the way, any advice is fine with me :D

Heart of a Volunteer/The Blue Bird

2009-10-19T23:30:00.002+11:00

Hello fellow bloggers!

As you know by now, i'm a movie junkie and a music junkie hehe :D Right now i'm listening to the Pearl Harbor Soundtrack, it's the track Heart of a Volunteer...for those who haven't seen the movie, SPOILERS DON'T READ ON....

This track is the best out of the whole soundtrack, it's the bit where Danny dies and the ending with his son (so damn tiny and GORGEOUS!) which makes me bawl my eyes out so much, even more because of the music and the boy Danny, was named after his father, and he is soooooo cute! Michael Bay is probably one of the best directors of all time, i love every single one of his movies :D hehe

But this is a writing blog isn't it? So let's just get down to writing...
I've written heaps of poems and songs when i was little...but other than my poem 'Freinds', this poem is another one of my favourites which i made up when i was little....have a read....

The Blue Bird

There’s a blue bird,

With a beautiful wing,

Who is very rare,

And can very well sing,

Each and everyday,

The blue bird flies,

Back to her nest,

Where her youngsters cry.

I don't know why it's my favourite...maybe because it's so true...but yeah it's my favourite and i love it :D
I've been watching Pokemon episodes the whole day hehe, i'm 19 and i still love it! The old ones i mean, like Seasons 1 to 9 maybe :D I would love to buy them, but i can't get them anywhere....no internet because i don't use credit cards and i don't plan to use them in the future, i don't want no debts....lol

Well i'm going to go, i really can't bother writing so much today...i will follow the other people's blogs too, but not today lol, just want some time off blogging, until tomorrow.... :D

Catch ya later!

A poem about what a friend should be...

2009-10-16T23:48:00.000+11:00

I wrote this poem when i was little, i think it's pretty good...also this poem is copywrited by me....

A friend is a person,

Who is loving and kind,

Who will always be honest,

And will never tell lies,

A friend will help you,

Within good times and bad,

In any situation,

Things will never be sad,

A friend will stay with you,

If you need to talk,

Just go outside,

And take a long walk,

A friend is a person,

Who will listen to you,

You can tell them everything,

They can be honest with you too,

A friend is a person,

Who would never get upset,

If you both liked a person,

You won’t have to fret,

A friend would never cry,

If you told them how you felt,

They would never put you down,

Wouldn’t let your heart melt,

A friend is a person,

Who will always be a friend,

In times when you get sick,

They’ll have flowers to send,

God makes these friends,

Just for you,

In good times and bad,

You’re a friend to them too.

I hope you liked it...please tell me what you think of it...

Woop Di Doop...

2009-10-16T23:03:00.000+11:00

Ah, today watched 3 new Supernatural episodes...brilliant as always, i'm totally in love with Jensen Ackles, i'm obsessed with him actually haha...
Don't you hate it when you have certain common interests with people, and when you write about it they think it's about them? Pfft, it kind of pisses me off, they aren't the only ones that like it, i'm sure millions of other people like the same thing as well...i'm pretty angry actually...but enough about my anger side....no one cares about that anyway...
Was going to work on my novel today, but didn't have time...watched Star Trek today woo! But, didn't enjoy it as much because my family wasn't really enjoying it...they liked it, but thought it wasn't really good. Guess i can't complain, not everybody has to like something i like...i think maybe i should watch the original tv series of Star Trek, i've seen a few when i was younger but i need to refresh my memory lol...

Coming back to Jensen Ackles, the only reason i watched Supernatural is because i'm into the paranormal myself lol, i mean for seeing spirits/ghosts, seeing is believing, and i really do believe...then i saw Jensen! Woot! Seriously, he is soo great....I loved him as Jason Teague in Smallville another one of my favourite tv shows...loved it since it first came on tv :D
hehe i always call myself Mindy Ackles, it's crazy i know but the name suits me hehe...i'm very very crazy lol :P But i love it lol.
I'm watching The Shawshank Redemption...brilliant movie. I love it because of several things...Morgan Freeman is one of the greatest actors of our times :D, Tim Robbins who is brilliant as Andy, just great, also because it's a Stephen King book :D, i've got about 2 books of his, i need to get all of them! lol, and also because it touches your heart, and there are no special effects, just reality....It really is one of the greatest movies ever made and we've got Frank Darabont who is the Director of the movie and Stephen King who wrote the book to thank for :D

I have to say i love every Stephen King movie :D They're all unique in their own ways :D
Anyway my arm is hurting from leaning on it so much and i've got a brilliant but busy day tomorrow :D
Will write again tomorrow...i wonder if anyone reads this blog anyway?
Ciao!

Discipline...

2009-10-15T15:56:00.000+11:00

I reckon there is a fine line between disciplining your child, and abusing your child. Disciplining your child means punishing them when they are naughty, but not to the extent where it leaves bruises and horrific marks on the body which is classified as abuse...
I think that the Australian system is stupid here, having been born and bred here, i come from a strict Indian family (not that strict mind you). Now Indian parents, these are the people that should be teaching parents how to discipline their children lol. Having my share of a lot of smacks when i was little (i'm only 19 now), i've grown into the person who everyone loves, i am repectful of my parents, elders, and am nice to everyone around me. And i was a good child to begin with unless i was out of line, like talking back to them or doing something which is dangerous...
I believe in slapping your children, and i said your children, like your own flesh and blood, you have no right to slap another persons child...i was slapped to the extent that i had a red mark on my face, of course i deserved it, and i'm not complaining about that lol, people classify that as abuse, but i don't see it, i see it as a way of teaching the boundries to kids when they get out of line....
I mean the people that complain that slapping is abuse, are the people that were actually physically abused by the hands of their parents, but just because a child gets slapped by the parent doesn't mean they are abusing them they way that person was....i think it's just bad memories coming back to them....

Anyway as i said yesterday in my post, i've thought of a new book for my book series, so that's now book number 3 :D
I am a serial daydreamer lol, when i look at something i just drift away into my own little world, which is probably how all my stories come about lol. This story is about, love, war, death and friendship...nothing less and nothing more lol. I'm not giving too much away, once i've written it and published you can read it :D
I'm a private person i have to admit, i sometimes don't like telling people about my stories in fear that they will steal my ideas for their own or something, but that was just my paranoia kicking in as usual, it's just a fear that i have and i suppose so many writers feel the same way too.
Gah, and writers block! That's the worst thing you can have, one day your mind is all for ideas and writing new paragraphs and next thing you know your mind just shuts down, not letting any ideas come to you at all, it's so frustrating...I've been having a lot of that lately, and i guess it just makes me angry...lol..i wonder how all the other famous writers feel when they're writing their next book...how do they get through it i wonder?
I base my stories on my vivid imagination, dreams, life experiences, friends and families...all these together make the perfect story in whatever story you are writing... :D I can say that from experience...
I started making a paranormal book based on a dream i had once, i've never had that dream out of my head since, but i make it into a story instead and people love it!
Wow, i was trying to draw last night and as i said before, i need the tutorials to help me...well for me i just suck at drawing 'people', that's right, i can draw everything else but people...It's pretty frustrating, but even following the tutorials doesn't help, not matter how many times i do it...i tried drawing Edward Cullen you know the character from Twilight? Well it came out totally different and the followed the tutorial....it looks like some freak or stern looking person lol...Well i've kept the drawing, but changing it is not gonna help it...
I can draw the Transformers, which turned out as my best drawings ever drawn! But not people lol....
Wow i am so dreading tomorrow, but i'm not going to say anything in case it reads it...yup i used the 'it'....

Anyway i think i've written enough for today, i reckon this whole post was just complaining lol, but i have to let it out somewhere lol. I'll probably write more later tonight or just tomorrow lol...

Pretty Good Day Today :D

2009-10-14T21:42:00.000+11:00

Had a pretty good day today...watched one of my favourite movies with Dad today, King Arthur :D Woot! Best Movie...Best Soundtrack! :D
Um...was in the Hans Zimmer mood today, so i started to listen to all the Movie Soundtracks I have of him like, Pearl Harbor, Pirates of the Caribbean Triology, Armageddon, Crimson Tide, The Rock, The Dark Knight, Batman Begins, Broken Arrow, Gladiator, King Arthur, The Da Vinci Code, Angels and Demons woo! That is a lot I know, but when it comes to Movie Soundtracks and Music Composers, I'M THERE! I have about 87 Movie Soundtracks on my laptop, and they'll probably be more later hahahhaha, i'm so obesessed! LOL
Also listened to the Star Trek Soundtrack, and Lost Soundtrack composed by Michael Giacchino! :D :D :D :D Brilliant...
While listening to them today i had a sudden thought for a story for one of my novels, i'm not giving too much away in fear someone will steal my idea...lol, i'm so paranoid....
I'll give you a few clues...it's a book series about various different things, it's like Goosebumps cross Supernatural....
I'm sure that if they get published, you guys will love it :D I've already thought of 3 books to write for the series already hehe :D
Well anyway i'm going to go now, i'm gonna watch the final Lost episode that me and my brother forgot to watch lol :P

Tata!

A Chapter from one of my novels...

2009-10-12T23:49:00.002+11:00

This is the first Chapter of my upcoming Novel, Murder Case....enjoy :D

- Chapter 1 -

Witness

It was a stormy night on the 15th of January, 2005; everyone was soundly sleeping, cats were cruising happily down the street, wondering around curiously near the neighbor’s houses and three girls (me included) were strutting along the outskirts of Hector. Thinking back I realized that after this incident, all our lives were changed forever and there was no going back from it. Coming back from a friend’s party and heading towards home, Kate Hampton, Juliet Singer and I were talking amongst ourselves, the occasional bickering occurred but it wasn’t enough to get angry over it.

Kate Hampton is my best friend. We have known each other for almost our whole life and still I laugh at the way she used to sing, it’s like long fingernails scratching against the blackboard it’s enough to make you squirm. Kate has blonde, long hair which ends at the small of her back, when you look at her baby blue eyes they pierce right through your body. For looks, Kate was pretty, but sometimes the acne on her face demolishes the prettiness. Kate lives with her parents Johanna and Giles Hampton, and she is an only child. Once when she was little, she was creeping all over the house because she thought there was a mouse in the house. A couple of weeks later, she found it to be a kitten, and that kitten named Honey, now resides in that house as their pet. Kate and I have this sisterly bond, we both know straight away whether either one of us are in trouble or sad. Overall Kate Hampton was the nicest person you could ever meet. She was one of those friends who would come over straight away when you became sick; she was one of those friends who would see through to the end of the day that you’d get better.

Juliet Singer is my other good friend. She wasn’t as close to me as Kate was, but she is good person. She is the only one who would make decisions that impact our friendship. Sometimes Juliet has bursts of an anger problem, and she always takes it out on other people. Beastly I know, but she was basically the tough one. Juliet lived with her parents Ingrid and Stephano Singer and her older sister Sarah. She generally didn’t get along with her parents well because her parents will always fight with one another. Each time after a fight, Juliet wouldn’t take it anymore and go and stay with either Kate or I. My mum didn’t really like Juliet coming over as much because she was afraid that she might influence me into drugs or something. Juliet wasn’t anything like Kate. Unlike Kate who would come over and help you, Juliet will be the kind of person who will tell you to get over it. There was a reason why I wasn’t as close to her as Kate, a reason why were didn’t really bond with each other, because Juliet liked to say what she thought with no regard to the persons feelings or emotions. Overall, she was a very direct and controlling person.

We were still walking down the street when a roll of thunder sounded. Kate stopped walking and looked up in fright. We both stopped when we realized that she wasn’t with us.

“What the hell was that? Was that thunder?” She looked at me and Juliet with her eyes wide open. Juliet and I smirked at each other. Kate has a phobia of thunder. We both nodded and started dragging Kate along as we kept walking along the sidewalk. Another roll of thunder, but this time there was a bolt of lightning and it hit the power lines. Then all of a sudden the lights went off. This time it was me who looked around in fright, and because I have a phobia of the dark, I panicked even more. I grabbed a hold on Juliet’s shirt.

“I can’t see anything! It’s too dark!” I cried out. Juliet pulled my hands away from her shirt and calmed me down.

“Selena, you don’t have to be scared, we’re with you, and nothing is going to hap-“

Juliet’s words were cut off by the sound of running footsteps near the trees. Juliet, Kate and I froze; we all looked around carefully, trying to find the source of those footsteps.

“What the hell was that?” whispered Kate fearfully, as she looked at me and Juliet once again with wide, shocked eyes.

“It-It sounds like someone running,” I said, I too hearing the fear in my own voice.

“Shhh! It’s coming this way!” hissed Juliet quietly. We all held our breath, our hearts pumping and beating so fast you’d think we ran a marathon. The footsteps were getting louder and louder by the minute, and I felt like my heart was going to burst out of my chest any second. We all jumped in fright when Juliet screamed.

“Piss off Harley!” screamed Juliet angrily, as she pushed a laughing Harley Groves out of her way.

Harley Groves is in the same year level as us. He might be the same age, same classes, but he was hated by everyone. I used to wonder why people hated him so much, until you start hearing his annoying made up jokes and irritating voice, I realized why. I actually felt sorry for him sometimes, he had no friends and everyone hated him, plus I forgot to mention he was dumb as anything and a real sleazebag.

Harley burst out laughing, his crooked teeth visible as his mouth opened wide with laughter. Kate and I were pulling Juliet back to stop her from beating the crap out of Harley. At one point Kate accidently let go of her arm but quickly grabbed it again.

“I’m surprised you haven’t been put on a leash, Singer. You need to be tied up,” teased Harley as he came closer and closer to a fuming Juliet. “Although the fantasy of you being tied up is actually better than I thought it would seem,” Juliet growled and tried to claw Kate and I, as she tried freeing herself to attack Harley. But Harley ran away, laughing uncontrollably because he knew that he stirred up the raging animal in Juliet.

“Juliet!” I panted, as Kate and I were struggling with a scratching and angry Juliet. “Stop it! You’re stooping down to his level!” This last line stopped Juliet, and after a few seconds of calmness, when Kate and I thought it was safe to unhand Juliet, we let her go. She turned around to face us angrily, her eyes peircing with accusation.

“Why the fuck did you two grab me for?” Kate and I looked at each other like that wasn’t the easiest question in the world.

“We grabbed you because you would’ve attacked Harley,” Kate said even more angrily, mainly because Juliet had sweared at us. Juliet turned to Kate, I could see the anger in the lines of her face, and I actually wondered at this point why I become friends with Juliet. She was such an angry person, I had no idea how I become friends with her in the first place.

“Whose side are you on Kate?” seethed Juliet angrily. “Are you on Harley’s side?” Kate stammered, but I jumped in to save her. I turned to Juliet angrily.

“How can you talk to your own friend like that? We are not on anyone’s side. Yes he was in the wrong with what he said, but you are also in the wrong when you tried to attack him. That makes you no better than he is,” Juliet fumed even more, but we all froze in shock as a sickening scream shattered the conversation to silence.

“What was that?” whispered Juliet to Kate and me fearfully.

“I think that sounded a lot like Harley don’t you think?” I said to Juliet and Kate, also at the same time trying to hear the screaming phenomenon again. Kate nodded in agreement.

“I think it –“ But Kate was cut off by Juliet who quickly shushed her.

“Shhh! Can you hear that?” All three of us suddenly became quiet, and sure enough the same scream was heard, but this time it was further away. Juliet started running and stupidly, Kate and I instantly did the same. We ran along the road, the moon shining bright as day, our loud running footsteps scraped the pavement as we ran faster and faster, the sound of the scream was getting closer and closer and my heart was thumping in my chest it hurt. As we ran across the road, we headed to Denway Park. The sound of the scream had to be here, I wondered in my head while running and nearly tripping over at the same time. Then the sound of the scream was so close, we all halted in our steps.

In the night, we could see from the moonlight a black hooded creature leaning over something, sucking noises coming from its black hood, like it was eating something, I knew then that the creature was eating someone. My gut was pulled back and I felt sick in the stomach. I instantly pulled Juliet and Kate behind a scrub bush so we couldn’t be seen. We must’ve been noisy because the black hooded creature stopped eating and looked around; and when it couldn’t see anything it continued eating its way through the poor soul who lay lying helplessly on the ground. I looked at Kate’s face, it was filled with horror and shock, and Juliet’s face seemed expressionless.

When the creature finished, it stood up. It was as tall as a full grown man, we all kept silently still, afraid the creature was going to find us too, but all it did was open its black cape and to our horror, black wings, like a massive Hawk, protruded from its thick body, and with the wings flapping so powerfully, it flew off from the ground and into the moonlight.

Kate, Juliet and I waited for a couple of minutes in case the creature came back, but when it didn’t we all slowly rose up from behind the scrub bushes and headed to where the dead body lay gruesomely mangled on the Park ground. We all gasped as we reached the body, judging from its hair, and mangled face, it was indeed Harley Groves, the lifeless body lay still and silent. Kate burst into tears and Juliet quickly took her away from the body. I didn’t follow them, but I did move closer to the body, because something had caught my eye. The body laid in an awkward angle, its stomach was ripped open and all the insides were eaten away, leaving chunks of intestine lying on his body and on the ground. I covered my mouth, afraid at the thought that I might chuck up all over the dead body. I closely examined his face.

The skin was viciously ripped apart at the forehead down to the nose. The only way I could identify Harley was because of his unique stud on his bottom lip. My eyes remained on Harley’s mangled face, studying every tear that was from his skin. Then I looked further down near his stomach area where his intestines lay on the ground. I gulped back a bit of vomit and moved my face away from the body. After a couple of minutes when my stomach settled down, I turned back to the body. I over-looked the intestines and looked at the gaping hole in what used to be Harley’s stomach. Everything was gone. Cleaned out. It was like the creature had sucked out nearly everything of his insides, even the blood. As I was gawking at Harley’s open stomach, something caught my eye. There was something protruding out of his left jacket pocket, and curiosity got the best of me. I pulled my sleeves up and made sure my hand was covered; I then reached into his left pocket and pulled out a small black bag. I examined it carefully. The black bag was the size of my palm, it had white string tied tightly around it and an unusual aroma was come coming from the bag. The smell wasn’t strong, but the smell was sifting through to my nose, making my stomach lurch. My gut suddenly had a bad feeling and I knew that this bag meant no good. But nevertheless I carefully put the small bag into my own bag and continued to examine the body.

Behind me, Kate and Juliet were standing near the trees, watching me hovering over the body.

“How can she even go near the body?” sobbed Kate quietly. Juliet put her arm around her, consoling her.

“She can handle these kinds of things. We can’t,” whispered Juliet.

“What the hell was that thing?” said Kate, whose voice was getting louder by every word. Juliet shushed her and looked to where I was.

After I finished looking at the body of Harley Groves, I got up and went to Kate and Juliet.

“Are you done?” Juliet said quietly. I nodded speechless. Kate was listening attentively. “What happened?”

I looked at them, all the clues and evidence that was stuck in mind felt so terrible I didn’t want to say it. I gulped back tears.

“From the looks of it, Harley was chased down and fatally attacked,” Kate looked worryingly at Juliet. But Juliet’s stern look still didn’t change.

“How do you know he was chased down? You can’t conclude a hypothesis just from looking at the body,”

“I wasn’t only looking at the body. Follow me,” I showed Kate and Juliet a fine patch of green grass near Harley’s body. “Have a look closely and you’ll see footprints,”

Kate and Juliet leaned in close where the grass was exposed to the moonlight. Sure enough, there was a one set of footprints that was imprinted in the grass, but there was something wrong.

“The footprints are like one foot away from the body,” said Kate, who was still half sobbing. “How is that?” Juliet realized what Kate was on about and turned to me for answers.

“Well Sherlock Holmes, what do you think?” I gave Juliet a stern look; I always hated it when Juliet called me Sherlock Holmes, she made it like I was some kind of crazy person that loves playing detective all the time, which wasn’t true of course.

“I realized it when I was walking back to you guys. I think that the creature was chasing after Harley, grabbed him while it was still flying and killed him right there,” I indicted the bloody mass that lay on the ground one foot away from us. I wiped tears that were slowly coming out of my eyes.

“What makes you think he was running?” asked Kate fearfully, as she deliberately avoided looking at Harley’s dead corpse. I showed them the footprints again; clearly you could see that the footprints were far away from each other.

“The footsteps are far apart from each other. When we walk, the footsteps are closer together. But when you are running, your footsteps have a larger gap between them. Then there is a large break where his footsteps and body are,” I quickly wiped away more tears. “Because the creature can fly, we can only assume,” We all looked at the dead corpse of Harley Groves.

Today was an okay day, could've been loads better...was going to watch Star Trek but then the stupid buffering of the movie was slow, so i gave up.

Spoke to my close friends today, Lana and Rowie, best people! I'm sure they know that already, these are probably the only two people who have made a difference in my life, physically and mentally...

Um...basically for me it was all about Star Trek today lol, i've seen a couple of episodes when i was little but i think i should watch it now lol, the movie is AWESOME! And the Soundtrack is brilliant! Michael Giacchino is another great Music Composer, along with Hans Zimmer, John Williams, Trevor Rabin, Klaus Baldet, Alan Silvestri, Danny Elfman, Nino Rota, Mark Mancina, Jerry Goldsmith, Patrick Doyle, Brad Fiedel, James Horner, Steve Jablonsky, Trevor Jones, John Powell, Vangelis, James Newton Howard, John Carpenter, these are my main ones, the best ones i reckon :D hehe, that is alot of people i know lol, but when it comes to music, i love it! :D

Was going to work on my novel today, but then as i said it was like Star Trek was stuck in my head lol, i've got the movie now! Woo! Brilliant! :D I'm happy lol...Listening to The Beatles at the moment, hehe.

I'm gonna draw now and probably write a few paragraphs on my novels...

Bye Log

Dear Log,

2009-10-11T20:28:00.001+11:00

I don't really know how i feel today...

This feels like a diary, so i'll write how i normally write in my diaries....

Um...starting off, i was up late last night talking with my childhood/close friend Lana, one of the best people i know....

Um...pretty angry today, the thing about debates is that i always have my say no matter what...

Cloning was the subject of the matter today, seeing a segment on Sunday Night caught my eye about Animal Cloning and it make me very very angry....

I'm not going to go into it right now, i'll probably right a whole page on how much i detest cloning...

I'm listening to music and getting my mind working for my novels...Music is the greatest thing if you ever need to relax or just daydream.....I happen to daydream every single day, can't help it, it's always my imagination running wild, which is probably why i get really crazy dreams hehe...

Don't you hate it when you get something stuck on your mind every single day? Something you like, but you just can't stop thinking about it? Or it reminds of it? Well it does me, and it does my head in quite a lot....

Listening to Rob Thomas at the moment, beautiful voice....Ever the Same makes me smile whenever i listen to it, the most beautiful song i've ever heard, so far...makes me happy because it's so romantic. I'm such a romance freak hehe, can't help it, but i guess every girl is the same as me...

I wanted to become a writer since i was about 6 years old, when i found out i could write...I know that in primary school, when i was Prep, i published my first book called The Little Possum...i don't have it but apparently the school had it, probably gone from there now...

I love writing, it's something that you can pour your feelings into without giving too much away about yourself. Whatever I feel, I put it into my Characters and storylines...

I have to say in one of my novels, the main one, the main character is basically me in another person, and she's been me since i was six years old...

I've written so many stories since i was six, and each in turn pleasing my readers which made me want to write more...then i got the idea, what if i can write books that i can publish and sell? I don't actually remember how my main novel that i'm writing actually came into my head, seeing as i was 6 years old at the time, but i knew back then that i'll keep writing this novel until i've finished and when i have the money i'll publish them and hopefully, just hopefully they'll sell...

Trying to think of my author name was another thing, something that'll sell or something that just looks nice on a book cover...so i thought of S.K.SAINI...which looks good and will hopefully sell books.

I know i'm probably rambling about things, but i'm in the talkative mood today, i wouldn't write so much on my diary because let's face it your hand just tires out and you can't write anymore, but on a computer? Well that makes your hand write more than you normally do writing without one...probably doesn't make sense, but it makes sense to me...

Other than writing as my hobby i like to draw...i can say so myself i'm a pretty good drawer (not in high school though, i sucked, but still okay), I'm the best at drawing if i go by tutorials, all the drawings i have ever showed my friends are either by myself, or i followed tutorials...I suck at drawing people, i'm trying to draw myself at the moment and it's pretty hard work, you can't get the distinctive features right and it's kind of annoying lol...

Well I think i've written and rambled on enough today, i'll probably right more tomorrow if i feel like it...
