Here is a little bit from my newest story I'm writing. The Man We Trusted.
(view spoiler)[“Mother,” Carolina said one night at the dinner table, “Why are you bruised?”
“Bruised?” asked her mother, “Child I am not bruised.”
“Mother look.” Carolina took her mother’s hand and led her to a mirror in the den. On her cheekbone were purple blotches in the shape of knuckles. “Mother what happened?”
“Oh Carolina. That was the time I slipped on the rug upstairs and fell.” she laughed nervously, “Remember?”
“Mother that was four days ago.” Maria tugged on Mother’s skirt. “Did Father harm you again?”
“Maria!” Mother scolded, “Your Father has never harmed anyone.”
“Maria. Let's put you to bed.” Carolina wrapped little Maria in her arms and looked at Mother. She had a pleading look on her face. Carolina nodded and tip toed up the stairs.
She opened the door and laid Maria down in her bed. “Is that Mother crying?” Kathrina whispered from her side of the room.
“Maria, what did you mean by ‘Did Father harm you again?’” Carolina asked calmly.
Maria picked up her doll and held it close, “I fell down outside one day and scraped my knee. I came inside to ask Mother for a bandage and when I opened the door I saw Father hitting Mother across the face. Then he pushed her down and ripped her blouse, he was yelling something at her in German. It was scary.”
“I will be back. Kat stay here with Maria.” Carolina said. She walked out the door and to Mother’s room down the hall. Father should be home by now. She thought to herself.
Carolina pressed her ear to the door and listened. She heard Mother sobbing and Father mumbling unfriendly words to her. She peeked through the keyhole and saw Father push Mother on the bed.
“You horrible, disgusting, rat!” Father shouted at her.
“Quiet you’ll wake the children.” Mother pleaded.
“How about they join our conversation?” he asked gruffly.
“No! Please don't! They didn't do anything wrong!” Mother said, tears running down her face.
“Then you just hush it!” Father slapped her across the face and pulled her hair.
Carolina threw open the door. “Stop Father you're hurting her!” she shouted at him. Father walked up to Carolina and picked her up by her nightgown.
“You ever speak to another soul about this and I will kill you. Understand?” he shouted. “Understand!”
Carolina nodded and Father dropped her on the floor and stomped out of the room slamming the door behind him. Once he was gone Carolina rushed to her mother.
“Mother! Are you alright?” she asked.
“Yes darling. Are you alright?” Mother asked.
“I'm fine. Why is Father harming you?” Carolina grabbed a handkerchief from the nightstand and wiped away the blood from Mother’s lip.
“He won’t stop drinking!” Mother cried.
“Oh! Mother, you must tell someone.” Carolina replied.
“No! I mustn't!” Mother shouted.
“Mother if you don't, it will continue.” Carolina murmured.
They heard an earsplitting crash, a scream, and a gunshot. All was quiet after. Mother jumped up and rushed into the little pink bedroom where she found Maria holding a lifeless Kathrina.
“No, no, no!” Mother shouted. She rushed to the girls, sobbing.
“Step away from her Elenora.”

So I am writing a story about a secret agent. Here's a little bit of it.
(view spoiler)[“Agent Thomas?” Agent Williams said to me in her British accent one Sunday morning at a coffee shop. “We are here to inform you that you have a new mission.”
I looked up from my book and peered over my dark sunglasses. “I am not doing no missions without my partner.”
She smiled, “Thats why we got you a new one.”
“Excuse me? I can’t replace Jennette.” Jennette was my parnter for the FIA or Federal Investigation Agency. She died two weeks ago, she was my bestfriend, my life, the one who listened to me. I will slowly torture and murder the moron who killed her.
“I know you two had a special bond, but we need you!” Agent Williams took my hand “Please Ali, please.”
I sighed, “Whats the mission?”
“Thank you! First let’s meet your new partner. Come.” Williams smiled and led me to a black Ford Fusion. “You’ll just adore him! I do.”
Him? HIM! Oh god… That’s a first. I hate him already.
My first thought was that he was gorgeous, and that I hated it. He was tall, maybe 6’2? With dark curly hair that framed his face perfectly, his honey gold eyes sparkled with curiousity, he had muscular features, and a stunning smile. He could have been a movie star before a agent. Yikes!
-My first thought was she was beautiful, and I loved it. She was 5’6 with a heart shaped face and childlike features, her body was small and curvy. Her long strawberry blond hair flowed down to the middle of her back and her ocean blue eyes shined in the sunlight. She looked at me with on adorable evil expression. Might as well irritate her.-
“You're cute when you're mad.” he said eyeing me closely.
“Don’t get to attached,” I purred, my voice dark, “Or I’ll have to kill you.”
“We’ll see.” Wow he was irritating.
Williams giggled and said in a high soprano voice, “Well aren’t you too getting along just fine!” she clapped her hands and smiled “Alrighty, time for your mission!”
“We have intel that a gang of hackers are going to realease a chemical so dangerous, that it will kill millions, into the worlds water supply.” Williams said confused.
“Seriously? Thats it?” I laughed, it was easy, too easy. “Whats the catch?”
“That thats not the real mission, darn stupid computer!” She cursed under her breath. “Stewart! Get in here and fix it!”
A young guy with large eyes and even larger glasses rushed into the room. He bent over the computer and typed in a few keys and looked up. “There you go Selene.” he said in a tiny voice. He picked up his things and hurried out of the room.
“Alright, the mission is, that a undercover agent is planning on destroying our agency and making everyone his minions. Lovely.” Williams began, “You're job is to-”
“Stop him, we get it.” my new partner said matter-of-factly.
“Yes, Maxwell. I suppose you do.” Williams looked to me. “Alice, good luck, with him and the mission.”
“Thank you. I wont let you down.” I replied.
“You never have. Okay so the mans real name is Augustus Clemmingham, but might be going by someone else. Here is the most recent picture we have.” She brought up a picture and the screen filled with a man with dark eyes, dark hair, wide shoulders, 6’4. “He might change his apppearence. The most recognizable feature on him is a scar on his throat near his heart. He also may or may not be the leader of the Golden Circle.”

Theres more but.... Yeah, its bad. Some thoughts are Maxwell's

Okay so here is something I was just paying around with. My science teacher wanted me to write it.

*drumroll*

(view spoiler)[As Eleptival, the blue star in the sky, rose I saw the shadows disappear, and the bloody, disheveled beasts disintegrate. We worshiped the Suns, Eleptival was our goodness, our goddess. Kleptival, is the Evil.
My name is Em. Everyone thinks it's short for Emily or Emma, but it’s Ember. People tease me for having a ‘gentleman's’ name, but I like my name. My mother named me Ember because ‘I was a tiny little bundle of light in a dark strange world.’ My mother was devoured by Kleptival’s demons long ago. I now defend myself from them. I have a amulet that protects me from the demons. I actually have two. One was my mothers, once I get her back I will give it to her. Right now my best friend Sparky has it.
The angels started to sing from the heavens above. People came out of their hiding spots, weapons still in hands. We had 12 hours to be free. I counted the survivors. Only 48 of us left.
I am building a spaceship to get us out of here. I have to get my mother back first. Some people say there is a demon world. That once you get in, there is no escape. BUt I will find a way to get the lost ones back. The only one that believes me is Sparky. Together we will get back my mother, his father, and my little sister Star.

Yeah... I know..

I lied wide awake that cold, dark night, it had been a long day; a guy was following me and a little girl scream 'the devil rises' at me. I heard a scratching sound outside my door, and from it came a little voice, "Mommy, I'm scared, can I sleep with you?"

I live alone.

I decided to write the first thing that came to my head, lol.
