Thunder was roaring down as rain pounded at the roof of my
home. I was sitting on my bed looking outside the window. It had
been a cold day and it was rapping up with a storm. I wasn't
surprised that half of the town was outside. It was time for the
hunt and many men were going down to see what it would be like. I
tensed at the picture of them killing many people without any
mercy. How could they do that? I saw my mother and father outside
talking to the chief of the town. I already knew what they were
talking about. They were planning to use me as vampire bate to kill
them off. I shuddered off the feeling and started thinking how
could that ridiculous plan work. I know they're vampires but I
don't think they're stupid. If they were, they couldn't have
destroyed many clans. I heard my father call me once he saw me
looking. I got up and dressed in my regular clothes that suit me. A
black top with a light gray bottom. I put my hair up in a ponytail
and walked down stairs heading towards the door. But before I could
even get there, I saw a big figuere outside. I ran to the living
room and out the backdoor. Up in the porch was a werewolf! It was
amazing, this was my first time ever seeing one face to face. It
looked my way but it didn't see me because my father ran up to it.
I saw a sword in his arms as he did. The werewolf merely ignored
him and walked up to where I was. I was frightened at the sight of
its face. It looked like a dog but also a wolf. It didn't look like
it wanted to harm anyone. I got up from my hiding spot and walked
to where it was. He's eyes showed that he needed help to get away.
I didn't really know what to do so I lead it to my house, up the
stairs, and into my room closet. To my surprise, he actually fit in
there. I closed the door as my father went inside my room. He just
stood there looking at me as if I were crazy. He asked my if I knew
where the werewolf had got to. I just nodded my head for an answer
so he could leave. He sighed and walked out shielding his sword
back into place. I admit it, I could of wet myself back there if it
wasn't for that sword. Thank god the werewolf wasn't a killer or I
wouldn't even be here by now. I let myself fall on my bed for a
second time that day. My life was weird; a lot of things happended
yet I don't want them too. But this, I actually was greatfull that
it did. I had finally had someone to be with. I'm was usaully in my
room drawing or reading or hearing music for the rest of the time I
had. But now it was different because I had someone to talk to,
even if they didn' understand. I closed my eyes waiting for sleep
to take over me.
When I opened my eyes, I knew something was going to happen. The
sun hit my eyes, making me blink many times. I rolled off my bed
and looked into the closet to see if it wasn't a dream. To my
surprise, instead of finding a werewolf, I found a young boy about
my age. I was confused at the sight of him. I never remembered me
putting a boy in my closet. I poked him to see if he was real. At
my touch, the boy jumped up and got in a fighting position. Once he
saw me, he just sat down again. He looked sad and I knew he needed
comfort. I sat next to him, close enough to touch his arm, but only
that close. It was pretty quiet for a while until he broke the
silence. "Thanks for saving me back there," he said. I looked at
him confused but then got what he meant. "Are you the werewolf from
last night?" I asked him. He just nodded his head yes and looked at
the floor. "I have to go", he finally said. With that he got up and
jumped out the window. I looked outside and saw him

i loved it honestly!
One thing though....You need to break it up a bit more...
Don't have one paragraph so long...
Good...More soon? ![]()
Hi there! This is a very interesting beginning, I hope you share with us more of the story.
Below I have included some examples of things that I feel are good and also what needs some work, I hope they help!
Thunder was roaring down as rain pounded at the roof of my home. I was sitting on my bed looking outside the window. It had been a cold day and it was rapping up with a storm. I wasn't surprised that half of the town was outside. It was time for the hunt and many men were going down to see what it would be like.
Your first 5 sentences are all written in the passive voice. Passive voice can hide the action of a story and make it less strong, and you want to have a strong beginning to any story.
In explanation, passive voice is when the subject is not doing or giving a verb's action directly, but indirectly:
For example, The dog was given the ball. Who (the subject) gave the ball to the dog? If the person who gave the ball to the dog was more important than the actual dog, you'd want to highlight that person instead, right?
I will rewrite this paragraph without passive voice so you can see how much stronger and powerful it is to use verbs with their subjects:
"Thunder roared as rain pounded on the roof of my home. I sat on my bed looking out the window. The storm rapped at the cold day. I saw half the town outside, but I wasn't surprised. They gathered for the hunt and many men wanted to see what would happen."
Notice that the lack of passive voice also shortens up sentences and makes them more clear that way? I know its easy to write in passive voice, and sometimes it is difficult to see a way out of it. I would aim at using as little as you possibly can, however.
got up and dressed in my regular clothes that suit me.
Some of your verbs are in different tenses. I would check the
piece and correct those. ![]()

There a lots of minor grammatical and spelling mistakes in this
piece, for instance, "figure" and "Up in the porch" in this
selection. If you do not have a word processor that can correct
these mistakes, I would suggest downloading AbiWord. It is a free
word processor available on the internet that resembles Microsoft
works/word. Just google it. ![]()

It seems kind of unbelievable that her father would just give up after seeing there was no werewolf. He must have seen her guide the werewolf inside. Maybe she could tell him the wolf jumped out of the window or something?
Once he saw me, he just sat down again. He looked sad and I knew he needed comfort. I sat next to him, close enough to touch his arm, but only that close.
I really liked this part. It's got a lot of shyness in it
between the two characters, but they are also bonding through the
experience. I also like the image it brings up of the two kids
sitting together. ![]()
Overall, I would suggest you add in paragraphs, breaking up where there are transitions in action, dialogue, etc.
I would also run this through a spell check, and try to rewrite some of the passive voice sentences.
Try to stay away from using words like "really" "very" and "just" as they do not add a lot to the description of the story, but add a little bit of wordiness.
To see where things are wordy, too short, or sound funny, I would suggest reading the story out loud, sometimes that helps you notice things like that.
All in all, this is a good beginning. She sounds like a brave kid, I'm curious to see what happens to her!
Hmm, very interesting. I think that this story has a lot
of potential and you have a lot of potential as a writer. I think
that the story has a good plot line and I look forward to reading
the next chapter. Not many grammar errors, and the ones that were
in there weren't all that major anyway. Hope you keep writing this,
I really liked it! ![]()
*** This was well written and the imagery was great. I enjoyed reading it emencely. This will be a real page turner once it becomes the novel it deserves to be! You probably need to break it down into smaller paragraphs to make it flow faster. The dialogue should be written in its own starting pargraph as well. It just seems to make it easier on the eyes. Other than that the story is great and I look forward to seeing it in its entirety. I hope there will be more chapters on here to read I would like to see where it all goes...will you let me know when you have more of this story published here? Have a wonderful day, and......write on!***



wow that was very interesting; It seemed very interesting at the begining but then it got even more interesting. I liked it how a boy ended up being the werewolf at the end of the story.
I have to say that it was kind of boring at the middle, though. I'm not trying to sound mean but it didn't really have as much action except for the werewolf. Try to add more detail to the next chapter like a detailed dercription about the situation. Also try to add some voice in it and not just what they say without quotes.
All in all, I thought it was a pretty fine story after I was finished reading it. Just try to fix that little problem that you have.
