Kate walked into the dusty, old office to find James sitting in a rusty old brown chair with a journal opened up sitting upon the wooden desk and a writing pen in his hand. He seemed to look stumped on something.

“Hey!” Said Kate, walking over to sit on the desk. There was only one chair in the office and James was using it. James didn’t respond to Kate’s greeting. “Hello?” She said waving her hand in front to James and snapping to try and get his attention. “Uh, what? Oh hello Kate!” James said in surprise scratching his head. Kate rolled her eyes. “What are you up to?” “Nothing much, I’ve just been think…” James stopped in the middle of his sentence and got out of his seat and walked to the other side of the office. “I have got it! I think I know what to say!” “You’ve got what?” “I have made up a new word that’s I’ll help with the way we talk for the rest of time!” “What is it?” Kate asked looking a bit concerned for her friend. “The word is…’and.’” “‘And?’” “Yes, ‘and!’ It’s perfect!” “What would you use it for anyways James?” James took a deep breath. “Well Kate, the word ‘and’ is her to connect words of the same part of speech!” Kate looked confused, and she was concerned. “Did you bump your head on something?” She asked. James was offended that she would think that. “No! Anyways, before you leave, just give this new word a chance. Like for an example you could say, ‘I went to the part today and I also got ice there!’” He said I’m excitement. “You’ve gone crazy man! Like why would you ever name it… ‘and?’” “Well, um, it rhymes with man and a man named it?” James guessed. “Man and ‘and’ don’t rhyme.” “You just used ‘and’ in a sentence!” James laughed! Kate rolled her eyes and made her way out of the office. “Where are you going?” Ask James. “I’m leaving! You’re crazy!” “Already. Oh and could you spread the news about the new word ‘and?’” Kate huffed and walked out shutting the door. “Ha! I just used it again,” James said smiling in disbelief that he had make a new word up that would change the world.

How did you stand me For so long but now you’re done So you now leave me

You are now gone so How did you ever love me? I used to love you

Now you have left me I can now start a new life Cause you have left me

A new kid is here Upon my classroom he is I wonder his name

At recess I ask friends For the name of this new kid No one knows his name

Maybe I should ask? That would be embarrassing Maybe I should wait

Should I look online? I could introduce myself But I don’t like that

My thoughts were stopped with “Hello my name is Jacob” His hand was stretched out

I looked at his hand And froze as I stared at it Then I showed a smile

And I shook his hand And saying, “my name is Luna” We are now best friends

Blood dripped down my head as the creature pinned me against a tree and let out roar in my face and showed me it’s row upon rows of teeth. I could fell it’s warm breath upon me. The smell was horrible. The monster stopped and let me go, and I fell to the ground. My sword was right in front of the monster and a dagger was attached to my belt. I wrapped my hands around the dagger and stood up. It took all my strength to move, I was so weak after fighting the king of monsters. I slowly walked towards the crimson red creature and then I sped up my walk into a run. My body aches as I did it, but I pressed onwards. I jumped up and stabbed the monster in its back as it let out a roar so loud that anyone could hear it. The monster moved its body, trying to shake me off, but my grip was strong on the dagger. I was tired, but I wasn’t going to give up. The monster’s hands stretched to his red, furry back and grabbed onto me. It pulled my grip from the dagger and squeezed its hands around my body, crushing me.

I had come this far, I couldn’t stop now, I had to complete this mission. I wiggled and squirmed until I was free. I don’t even know how that worked but it did. My sword was right behind me, as I sprinted forwards to grab it, as I did so, the monster tried to reach for me once again, but it missed. I grabbed my sword and the monster came sprinting towards me, but stopped when he was just two feet away. For he had been stabbed with my sword. The creature froze and I retracted my sword from its body, back to me and moved out of the way as it started to fall Forwards. It had been a long time of this, fighting, slaying monsters and I had finally killed the king of them all.

I could now rest myself. It had been a long time coming, but now I felt I could truly call myself the slayer of monsters.

A dog with a coat of gold We would be friends until we’re old It isn’t deadly But instead, it’s friendly

I wish I had never let go I have that only regret And that is that we never dreamed of going pro When we were there I would sweat

You hanging off And me hanging onto you I can’t brush-it-off And I only wish you knew

When you fell I couldn’t save you I think that anyone could tell That you had cut through

The cliffs The fall The ifs The bad calls

I only wish you didn’t leave For you were my best friend now I grieve And wish this wasn’t the end

Yes it’s true, I wish I never had let go So that we may still be two I will now always be in my low.

Psst, come in close, I have something to ask Could you keep this to yourself at most? Or can I not trust you with this task?

I need you to keep something from everyone You can’t tell a soul And once I tell you, it is done For you I can not control

Don’t speak of what I will say For it will not do me well if you tell of it I can only pray That you will keep it in a pit

Burry this deep inside you. Act like you won’t remember And you won’t get chewed And you will become a trust club member

I have a secret, Will you keep it?

Dear Mother, Hello. I hope you’re doing well. I know that the last time I saw you, I made fun of you. I didn’t mean what I said. I miss you dearly. I need you. Why did you have to leave me? I never would have thought that you would leave this soon. If I only knew, I would have spent more time with you, I would have laughed at every joke you told, even if they weren’t funny, I would spend every minute with you, loving you, being there for you, like you have always been there for me. Thank you for always helping me with life, it can get messy sometimes. And now, I don’t know how to handle it. Life is bringing its hardships already. I wish you were here with me but I understand. You were in pain, and you needed to rest. If I could have said one last thing before you left me, and I mean it when I say, I love you.

From, Heather, your loving daughter

I could have always had a child of my own, but I never did. The day I found that flower that flowed like the sun, but marvellous. I tried many things to see what it could do, for I knew that it wasn’t from earth. I did everything I could, and I almost gave up, but I kept on trying. I decided to try and sing a song, and it glowed a little, not a whole lot, and it lifted my spirits with joy! I later found out that the flower glows when you sing about itself, or how it’s magic. When I would sing this song to it, my skin would return back to youth. For years I did this, and nothing had changed. I had fallen in love, but he was killed by a soldier. Nothing was ever the same when he was gone. We were going to stay young and live forever, but that all changed.

The queen of a kingdom was sick, and the whole kingdom went to see if they would find something to help her. They had heard of a magical flower and they looked for that. They found it not long after they started the hunt and dug it up, taking it away from me. I followed them to the palace and saw them make it into a drink for the queen. A couple days later, she gave birth to a beautiful baby girl with golden hair, she looked nothing like her parents. I wondered if the flower’s magic had somehow gone into the child when the queen drank it, so I snuck into the palace at night and sang the song and to my eyes, her hair glowed. I tried to cut it but when I did, it lost its power and turned to brown. I decided that if I wanted to live, I would have to take the child with me, and hid her from the world. So that is what I did.

I had never thought that I could love someone like him, but life sometimes has its own plans. After all we’ve been through, I have come love him. The boy sat under a Sunglow tree with the stars hanging overhead. My people have always said that I could never love an elf, that they were the monsters of our nightmares. That they were mean and selfish, but that was not the case. I walked up to him and sat beside him under the tree. The boys’ head was lowered, and sadness was in him eyes. “I suppose, that you can’t come back to the Elvish Forest with me?” The boy with point ears, light blond hair, and dreamy emerald green eyes asked, looking at me. The scars that were upon his face that he got in the battle had scabbed up. I shook my head and lowered it. “I can’t, the whole village would be an uproar if I did, and they would say that I would bring shame on my family.” Tears swelled up in my eyes as i spoke this burden. He was the one I loved, not the others my family would try and get me to love. “But if there was just a way that we could—“ “I know, but there isn’t,” I interrupted him. He signed and looked at me. “Well then, you should probably get back before anyone notices that you’re gone from the palace.” “you’re probably right, but I don’t want to leave you. I’ll never be able to see you again,” I complained and a tear slipped down my cheek. “I know, but you’ll be alright. We’ll be alright.” He said and placed his hand on the side of my cheek and he pressed his lips against mine. A moment passed before we separated. Never being able to ever see your best friend again, is hard to get over. The boy stood to his feet and started to walk back to the Elvish Forest, but he paused and turned around to look at me. “I love you, Bella. I alway have and I always will.” “I love you too Jacob,” I said letting another tear fall down my face. “Goodbye Bella, or should I say princess?” He chuckled and turned and walked away, leaving me under the Sunglow tree by myself under the roof of stars. “Goodbye Jacob, my love,” I whispered and tucked my head into my hands as I cried away my feelings of love for the elvish boy who had stolen my heart.
