Kari looked out across the sea as the waves rocked the boat beneath her feet. She sighed and went beck below decks, hiking her bag up on her shoulder. Three days later as she was laying in bed staring at the wooden slats above her head, she heard a loud noise. She raced up on deck and saw a huge bird with red and gold and orange feathers. It was perched on the main mast of the ship and seemed to be waiting for something, or someone. She raced over to the bird as it lowered its head. The crew were freaking out about the fact that there was a giant bird on their ship, but Kari was completely calm as she stroked the bird’s feathers. She hoisted herself up onto it’s back in one smooth motion, waving to the crew. Finally, she thought I get to go home.

Case File #3984, Exhibit J: Transcript of Interview with Witness Teraka Soames

[Officer Davidson enters the room.]

Officer: Sorry to keep you here, miss, but--

Soames: All due respect, but shut up. The Altairans want to go home, that's all there is to it. Fine me if you like, but my little brother's depending on me to make dinner.

Officer: Are you responsible for your younger brother?

Soames: Since Mom died in custody. Hint, hint.

Officer: Noted. How old are you, may I ask?

Soames: Old enough to be his legal guardian. I said, fine me if you like. I was rowdy, I was protesting in the streets with about two thousand other Altairans who've been kept from their planet by your government. I plead guilty and all that [expletive], so will you please just let me out of here?!

Officer: Alright, alright, miss. You're not charged with anything, you're just here as a witness. As for the situation on Altair IV, I'm aware of it, and I'm afraid the planet's crust is still too--

Soames: Still too what? Full of unexploded dellurim sulfide and collapsing mine shafts and all the [expletive] your people dumped there, because you thought we weren't important?! Just fix the [expletive] planet and let us go back! It's well within your--

Officer: Miss, I'm going to have to ask you to calm down. Do you know who organized this protest?

Soames: Wouldn't tell you if I did. Heard about it from a friend.

Officer: Who is this friend?

[Long pause. Soames appears to deliberately remain silent.]

Officer: I see. Well, thank you for your time. We're processing your papers now, should be done in a few minutes.

[Officer Davidson leaves the room. Soames looks after him, then begins to weep quietly into her tail.]

sorry this is so sad guys... just kinda fit the mood of the moment. 

The landscape was barren and flat. Where the crystal trees once waved in the remia, fragment breeze, rocks lacking their previous glint dotted the hard ground. Where blue-green waters had flowed, a crater dented the earth. Where the blooming quills once nested, not a sound was heard, save the sobbing of a single Juivea. Tears overflowed, tracking paths on her grime streaked face. Her small figure trembled with the heart wrenching noises that she once could not believe would be coming from her mouth. Her home was destroyed, and she hadn't been there to save it.

Anne ran as fast as she could, it was fun being an outlaw sometimes, well all the time. The queen's men ran after her. She laughed. They wouldn't catch her, she had been running since her parents had died when she was three. She was one of the most wanted outlaws, though she was only thirteen. Her satchel jangled with coins and such. She lept on to her horse, Rain-the fastest horse in all of the land. Rain ran as fast she could quickly leaving the men behind her. Anne then got off Rain and led her into a cave to spend the night. Anne slept that night with her satchel under her head. The next morning she got back on Rain's back and they started out again. But as she rode you see the point of her ears..........

i forgot to say part of the story but I will repost it once it shows up.

or maybe this story.......

Xtoue: The mountain  pass.

Zarraphone slept peacefully in her cave, well that was intill the humans came again.  She heard the sounds of men out side,shouting. She new they would kill her if they found her. She ran out of the cave. Outside there were a hundred men, they saw her. Zarraphone tried to run. The men sliced at her, blood, her blood was every were. She screeched in pain. She flew, trying, trying to escape the men. As she flew the grabed there crossbows and open fired at her. They hit her in the shoulder,the  under belly. She screeched again flying as high as she could to get away from the men. Zarraphone flew above and finely calapsed under a tree in the emerald forest and then every thing went black....

My story is called "Ami Twist."

Ami woke up on a particularly special Saturday.  But she didn't know it was special yet.  It had been weeks since she had gotten trapped in that time twister.  but she didn't know that either.

Every day, Ami Hearth had been living a different life, without all the memories of the days before.  But this was today Ami's birthday, and she wouldn't let a little thing like a time twister get in her way.  If she knew it existed.

But that's not important.  What was important was what Ami did that day.  It was nothing special, she spent the day watching YouTube and doing the things she enjoyed.  At around 5:30, people started to arrive.  Only five people came.  That was alright.

The six of them had lots of fun.  They watched a movie, made stepping stones, and danced late into the night.  But then it was time to sleep, and this Ami would soon be gone forever.

Until Ami woke up.

In the middle of a time twister, memories flooded past her eyes, filling her mind with the different lives she'd experienced since she had gotten stuck in the time twister.  It all came too fast, but she knew what to do anyway.  She willed herself onto stable ground, far away from the time twister.  

And time obeyed.

And I should know.  I'm Ami Hearth.
