Oliver Mcdonald had a farm... E-i-e-i-o

(This scene takes place after a battle and the characters are all about 14)


Oliver Mcdonald lay on the ground, a sword protruding from his gut. His breathing was ragged, but at least he was alive. For how long, though, none of his friends could guess. 

Skye Verso wrapped her hands around the hilt of the blade while Dove Paloma squeezed Oliver's hand. Kai Verso held bandages ready for the moment the sword was extracted. 

“3… 2… 1…” Skye yanked the sword out and it clattered on the grass. Kai immediately set to work, bandaging the stab wound as fast as his fingers would allow. 

Oliver was becoming limp in Dove’s arms, but his breathing was steadying. She let out a sob-sigh and began to quietly sing their old joke. 

“Ol’ Mcdonald had a farm-” her voice cracked. 

Kai smiled crookedly and continued the whispered song, “E-i-e-i-o.”

“Shut up,” groaned Oliver’s barely conscious form. 

“Let’s get you to the infirmary, ol,” Skye said meekly. 

He tried to say something but passed out before a sound left his lips. 

Kai heaved his friend onto his back and wobbled a few steps forward before the girls took over. They took Oliver to the infirmary while Kai limped around the green helping other injured fighters.

Hot. Burning. Fire.  coming this way. must run, must move.  I try, but I cant. I'm anchored to the ground.  Fire. Burning everything in its path. Try harder, move still can't. Heat, licking my body. Doom, spreading through me Fire, burning me... and then, it was just another that the fire has destroyed. Hey guys, Nia here, just wanted to give you some info on the description. In case you haven't guessed, it's from the perspective of a tree during a forest fire. I wrote it because this is what I think a tree would feel when it's watching its friends burn down and then ultimately, being burned itself. And yes, plants can feel, they can be hurt, and maybe they don't have emotions, but they can still tell when danger is near, and they even communicate with other plants. Plants are amazing, and they give us so much, I feel it's only fair if we protect them in return.  #SaveTheTrees

The ninja who will save the Earth

As I watch my favorite show, dreams swirl deep inside me, where I cannot see them yet. I watch the ninja fight for what’s right and stick together through thick and thin. I watch them train with their master and see their bond grow. They see each other as brothers, and now they also have a sister. I watch them save their city, and a wish forms deep in my mind. I wish I could be a ninja. I think about it, as I lie in bed. The thought keeps me awake. I’m about the age of the ninja in my show, but then I think yea, but it’s just a show. You can’t fight, no ninja master is about to teach you, and you don’t even have a team. That last thought stays in my head. The ninja didn’t exactly grow up together, but they act like they did. I don’t have any friends who have been with me that long, since I have moved as much as I did. Being a ninja would still be pretty cool. I think about how the earth really could use a ninja, right now. Then, I remember what I have been told, way too ...

The Abyss

  As I close my eyes, a flood of thoughts fills my head. I roll over sleep. stop thinking, but I can't. All my worries and problems are playing in my head, along with my to-do list. I can't take it. I open my eyes, sit up, and reach for my glass of water. When I close my eyes again, I try to block out my mind, but I can still hear my thoughts whispering to me. So, I try something else. I imagine I'm falling in a bottomless, dark, quiet abyss. My problems don't exist here. I don't have any worries, it's just me and the quiet hum of the abyss walls around me. It's perfectly quiet and as I fall, the world feels distant. Soon enough sleep has me in it's warm,cozy arms. The world doesn't exist anymore, and neither do I. In my head, nothing exists, at least until the dreaded morning when everything will come rushing back, but for now, it's just me and the quiet fuzz of my mind, as I enter the land of dreams.
