A small creaking noises invaded the silence of Keishi’s room as the moonlight shown on her face. It was 2 in the morning and she knew that her eyes should be tightly shut in sleep. Unfortunately, it had been an hour since a loud howl from the outdoors jolted her upright in bed. She knew that there really wasn’t anything outside her window, but for some reason ever since, every little noise removed her ability to fall asleep even more. Finally, giving up, her chilled feet hit the floor as she rolled out of the covers. Glancing left to right, she stood up and wandered over to the windowsill, slowly but surely glancing downward to assure her uneasy mind. With a sudden intake of breath, she fell back against the cold floor and skidded back against the wall opposite the window. Two practically neon green eyes had looked up at her from beneath the sill, practically boring into her soul. After a few minutes, Keishi regained her composure and used the wall to lift herself to her feet. Slowly, skidding her way across the hardwoord, she planted her feet firmly and leaned once again over the sill. Looking down once again to confirm what she'd seen, a heaving sigh of relief escaped her once tight lips.
"Neko!! What are you doing scaring the bejeebus out of me!" she squealed, reaching her pj covered arms out the window and lifting the black long furred cat through the window. Turning her back to the window, she runs her chilled fingers through her long fur, warming them up quickly. As she walks toward the bed to get her much needed sleep, two green eyes follow her thin form through the room from a farther away bush.

This actually really amused me. We have both grown quite a bit as writers since that time you thought that Garnet was supposed to have wings. :-p. I still remember bits and pieces of that rpg, and it always stays with me everytime I happen to talk to you.
ReplyDeleteI had a creative writing class when I was going to the university. I really enjoyed writing, and for the first time I actually had people I did not know critiquing my work. It scared the crap out of me, but I think it really did make me a better writer.
I want to see where you're going with this. It's a good time, and I can't wait to read more.
