Scribblers of the World Unite! discussion

Yup, we might as well start one of these! The rules are simple: add to the story, one sentence at a time! You may not post two sentences in a row, now...that way, the story will be even crazier! This should be fun...probably...

Okay, I'll start:

It was a dark and stormy night; or at least it seemed that way...it's not often you experience a solar eclipse when it's raining.

The rain, had a mystical feel about it, a lightning bolt streaks across the sky, giving the first sign of light.

It was windy as well, and a dog could be heard howling from afar.

The dogs howling made chills run up my spine, I didn't know where it was coming from, the wind made it near impossible to tell.

The wind picked up, making the temperature drop even lower, and the howling continued, each howl louder than the last.

I started to get scared, I never being a fan of the dark was always scared of it, and the howling made me terrified.

I should never have left the door to the conservatory unlocked, I thought in desperation as the howling grew louder.

I pulled my hood up over my head in hopes of protecting myself from getting sick in the dreary weather, but my hair was already drenched in the cold rain water.

I need to go back in the conservatory, but I was distracted by the howling, I turned to go back in and there it was.

I saw it, and it saw me, we stood there facing each other; i tried to run but my legs had turned to jelly

The dog stepped closer, and opened it's mouth. I fancied it was baring it's teeth, and found the courage to stumble quickly away from it. I headed away from the conservatory- not where I really wanted to go, but away from the dog.

I tried to run, but my legs were like jelly and I toppled over and fell off the porch, I landed in the mud, I tried to turn just in time to see the teeth bared at me.

I frantically looked around, trying to find a stick or a heavy stone; or just something that i would be able to throw at the dog, buying me a few minutes to run to safety, but i couldn't find anything and the dog was slowly advancing...

The dog snapped it's teeth at me, growling and slowly moving forward and in the back of mind, I wished I carried a weapon with me, like a knife.

Then I remembered my shoes I borrowed from my twin brother, I know he cared a knife in the sole, I looked at the dogs slow advancing, I reached for my shoe, just as it happened.

The dog growled loudly and lunged, just as I was pulling off my shoe and reaching for the inside of the shoe desperately.

I kicked at the dog as it lunged, I hurt my foot, but it had nocked the dog off of me for only a moment, it was all I needed.

I stood and fumbled for the weapon inside my shoe as the dog leaped at me again, wondering in the back of my mind what would happen.

I had a quick flashback to when I was little and was hugging Johnny, (My win) as a dog attacked us, I remember, he just wounded it and it retreated, leaving us alone, only Johnny was hurt, He had a scare on his face from it though.

I snapped out of my trance and screamed when I felt the dog bite my arm roughly and I stabbed the dog, not wanting to kill it, but wanting to get it off.

The dog retreated and I stood quickly, clutching my arm not wanting to loose too much blood.

I saw stars, I heard the dog growl, I was certain it would attack me again, but then I heard a shout, I new the voice, but couldn't place it!

I was starting to lose consciousness, but as I fell backwards someone caught me, I gazed upwards, and my gaze was locked with with a pair of blue eyes with amber flecks; It was Alex, The boy i've had a crush on since forever.

I stared into the eyes that are so amazing, and so important to me, "The dog?" I asked him, "Shhh, don't cry Annie, please?"

The look in his eyes alone, melted my insides, i wanted to reach and press my lips to his, they were just inches away from my own.

"Come on Annie, I need to get you inside, lets go inside." He said to me, I nodded trying to take my eyes from him.

As I stumbled inside with Alex supporting me from the back, I heard footsteps coming close.

I grabbed for Alex's arm, I was scared, I thought the dog was coming, Looking back I know that made no sense but I was scared.

My best friend Charlotte (Charlie, for short) was coming down the hall. She saw Alex and I, then noticing my arm, rushed our way.

"What happened? Your soaking wet! What did you do to her, why is MY best friend bleeding?" She directed the last two parts at Alex, she seemed like she was begging to panic.

I pushed Alex away and rushed to Charlie. "I'm okay, I just got bit by a dog. It went mad- eclipse crazy! It was like the full moon!"

"Maybe you'll become a werewolf!" Alex joked, trying to lighten the mood, but Charlie shot him a death glare.

"Ha. Ha." I turned my attention to Charlie again- "Do you have any bandages?"

She nodded and took my arm and turned me around, she shot another glare at Alex, and I looked back and smiled a smile that said both, thanks and sorry.

We trotted down the hallway truing desperately to find Dr. Jordan- a medical doctor and Charlie's mom.

I knew i should've been thinking about my arm, but my mind was filled with the thought of Alex, the panic in his eyes when he saw my injury, I wished he could just hold me forever.

Dr. Jordan was sitting in her home office at the end of the hall, working at her computer.

When she saw us come in she snapped her laptop shut and and a look of guilt flashed across her face, but it was gone so fast I assumed I had imagined it.

I looked at her with curiosity, I was certain that that was guilt that had past across her face, but she soon saw my arm and jumped up, she quickly got to work on it.

"Annie, this is a pretty bad wound," she speculated. "What happened to you?"

"Well, I um accidentally got bit by a wild dog! I was outside and there it was."

"Really?" Dr. Jordan said, trying to sound surprised, but I had a feeling that she already knew, although I couldn't explain how.

On my other side Charlier rolled her eyes.

"Would you know why there is a wild dog is on the loose?" I asked

And in that moment Alex walked in and I spun to see a concerned look etched across his perfect face. "Will she be okay?" he asked.

The question was directed at Alex, but I swear I saw Dr. Jordan flinch.

She nodded, "Of course she will be, but she is going to need stitches and a rabies shot, I can give her stitches but I need to go to the hospital to get a new supply of needles and rabies shots. I'll be back as soon as I get them though, let me stitch her up, then I shall go."

Dr. Jordan left, so I was with Alex and Charlie, and Charlie obviously didn't like Alex.

I knew she didn't, I had a funny feeling that it was because I liked him and she was jealous but I wasn't sure.
