The Truth about My Misery II

The Truth about My Misery
Part II

My hopes were crushed as we were taken back by the soldiers. It has only been a month since we ran away with Ann. I had to face the generals in an hour, and Ann was taken away somewhere, and is probably going to be executed “How Dare you run away like that boy?! Have you no shame?!” One of them yelled. “There is no shame in running when you are treating your own people like this.” I retorted and tried to break free from the soldiers. But I could not. I remember being cuffed before, and the cuffs aren’t easy to break. “Where did you take Ann?! Answer me!” I yelled at the general, hoping to get an answer. “We are taking her to the reformatory.” He grinned evilly “and you my young boy will soon join her.” “What do you want from an insane girl?! She’s no use to you at this point! So why won’t you release her?!” I kept yelling, anger took over. Above all of my emotions. “Because you feel for her, and because her brain holds secret information we need to get rid of her, therefore we must brainwash her and kill her, simple as that dear boy.” “May I at least see her, just for this brief moment?” I pleaded; I tried to think of a plan quickly before it was too late. But nothing came to mind. “Of cores you may see your beloved boy.” He nodded, and then he turned to the soldiers “take him to the girl!” The soldiers obeyed and took me to see Ann; Ann was chained to a wall. Her mind distant. And she did not react to my presence. I crawled to her and hugged her close. Her presence was the only thing that calmed me down. “W-what’ll happen to us?” Ann made an attempt to speak. “I don’t know Ann, but I will try to get us out of this place no matter what.” I kissed her cheek tenderly. She backed up from me, but I kept holding her. “I won’t let you get killed Ann, I wont.”It was early in the morning the next day; the clock was the only thing that woke me up. “Where am I?” I asked myself looking around. Ann stood in the entrance to my room. “Good morning, sleepy head.” She smiled at me.“Was it all a dream? Ann?”The End.

The Truth about My Misery I and II

The Truth about My Misery

From the moment I ended up in that strange place, I knew I will never belong. They have people here, who kill mercilessly for no reason. They use brainwashed dogs and people to do their dirty jobs. And if anybody refuses their way, they will kill you. Today I lost Ann; the girl I’ve been staying with. Her family was very nice to me, and accepted me into their home. They found out that Ann helped their people rebel, so they sent one of their dogs after her, se was torn to bits right on the spot. I have met with the three men that rule this unruly world. They all look the same, except for their difference in height. They all wear blue military uniforms and the three of them have long straight white hair. They all look like clones of each other. They said they chose me as their new leader and that I shouldn’t have any contact with the others. I told them I didn’t, and they proclaimed me the ruler. But yet when I asked them if I may change things around a bit, they refused. I saw Ann’s parents today. They were walking around like ordinary people, except Ann wasn’t with them. I miss her; she was special, different from the others. Well, at least I have Rex with me still. Rex is a German shepherd, a black one, he’s the only dog I know who’s not completely brainwashed, Rex never leaves my side. I was taken to their base today. The place was quite plain. White walls, long hallways, and boxed in rooms, it all looked like some horrible sci-fi movie. I watched as some of the commoners were dragged around and beaten, then they were taken to the execution chambers. “What are the execution chambers?” I asked the tall general, who seamed to be the leader. “The execution chambers are reformation facilities.” He explained to me. “We take the unruly and convince them to change their ways.” “But what if they choose not to change their ways? What then?” I continued asking him, but he just glared at me and kept quiet. I will never understand this strange government. And I finally found out what they really do in the execution chambers, execution, that is. I cannot believe my own foolishness. Believing that they actually talk to the rebels, they take them into these rooms, and they leave them there to stay. But what they don’t know that people actually witness these happenings. Then they unleash the mutated cats, or the dogs, to tear the rebels apart. “This is what’ll happen to the rebels, who rebel against our government.” They announce on the large TV screens. They keep the people in fear and that is how they rule most of this world. I went to visit Ann’s parents today, even thought I announced that I had nothing to do with these people, which was a lie. I entered their house and went straight into the living room and I walk to the counter. I looked down at Ann’s photo and sighed, then I looked for Ann’s parents, but they were no-where to be found. I guess they’ve just moved or escaped somewhere. Either way I hoped that they were safe.I returned back to the base and walked through the empty hallways. It was surprisingly quiet around there. I looked around and decided to follow one of the soldiers that headed to the execution chambers. I noticed that he looked at me before he entered the back room. “Would you like to come in and take a look sir?” “Yes. I’d like to.” I replied to him and entered with him. The room lit up with light and you could see the other room through a large screen. I saw Ann’s parents and my eyes widened. “Tell me, soldier, why are they in the execution chambers?” I demanded. “They are rebel’s sir. They deserve to be executed.” “May I go in with them?” I asked, looking at him intently. “Very well sir.” I went into the other room and Ann’s parents looked at me. Ann’s mother crawled towards me and grabbed onto my shirt tightly, gripping it. “They’ve got Ann! She’s in one of the torture rooms!” she looked up at me with quite the crazed eyes. But then they unleashed the dogs, I grabbed onto one of their collars to keep the dog away from the two. The dog turned and was about to tare me to shreds. I turned and looked if Rex was around, but there was no sight of him. That day I returned home with a wounded arm and pride, I fought off the dogs but the dogs tore Ann’s parents to bits. But then I remembered that Ann was still alive. I walked into my own house and took Rex with me; this time if I’ll get attacked Rex would be by my side. I arrived at the base and entered it. It was empty, all the workers and guards went home for the night. I walked through the torture chamber halls, peering into each room, but there was no sight of Ann. “Hay Rex…” I pulled out a cloth that I ripped off of Ann’s clothing when she was taken away and gave it to Rex to sniff. “Go find this scent.” Rex sniffed at it a little and ran foreword. I immediately ran after him, hoping that I’d see Ann again. Rex stopped in front of a large metallic door and scratched at it. I ran up and stood there peering in. to my surprise I indeed saw Ann. I punched in the code and the door opened. I ran in and hugged Ann close to my chest “Ann! Ann! Speak to me!” I looked at her. She didn’t really seam to respond much, she just looked at me emptily, as if her soul was absent. “Ann, I’ll get you out of here…” I pulled at her arm, but she refused to move, backing away into the wall, her eyes were struck by fear. “What happened? What are you afraid of?” She shook her head and covered her face with her palms. “Ann…” I bent down and picked her up in my arms and began to carry her out. She grabbed onto my shirt as I was surrounded by soldiers. “Ichiru Kato, you are accused of helping a traitor escape; you will pay by being locked up in this torture chamber, with this insane girl, until further notice.” I didn’t mind staying with Ann, but when they dragged Rex away with them worry struck my heart. Ann looked up at me and then back at the door as it was shut again. I put her back down and sat next to her. “I’ll try to get us out a bit later, when they will leave.” I nodded at her. As if to assure her I meant her no harm. Ann just hugged her knees and looked at the ground. A few hours had passed and they closed the whole building. “Now is our chance Ann.” I said to her and moved closed to the door. Punching in the numbers to my surprise the door opened, I picked up Ann again and carried her out. “I have to find Rex too.” I mumbled to myself and walked in the direction they took him. Ann laid in my arms quietly, looking at wherever we were going. I ended up in a room. “Rex!” I called but there was no reply. I knew where the dog facility was and I knew they didn’t take Rex there. I had no idea where they took him or if my loyal dog was still with me. I put Ann down and entered where his room was. The room was empty. I looked around again and I kneeled in front of the dog house, there laid Rex’s collar. I picked it up and stroke it. That day I had lost too many people. I carried Ann home and sat her on my bed. I wasn’t going to stay there long. I grabbed a few supplies and put on a backpack. I grabbed Ann’s arm and we fled that place. I hope I never return there again.

Death Note's Shinigami and Jrockers

Chapter 3 of my Fan-Fic
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Death Note’s Shinigami and JRockers
Chapter Three: the First Murder Case


Alex woke up in his room, tucked into his bed; he didn’t really remember what happened yesterday. He looked around wearily then sat up a bit, rubbing his face. He got out of bed and walked to the bathroom, washing his face. He looked at himself in the mirror; he had black bags under his eyes, which bothered him.
Shinobi knocked on the bathroom door “Yeah?” Alex said looking at the door. “Alex…” her voice sounded as if she was crying. “Shinobi, what’s wrong?” He opened the door and looked at her “Are you ok?” She hugged him around the waist and buried her face in his upper abdomen. “I feel better today.” He patted her head and hugged her. “I’m ok now Shinobi.” He comforted his sister, who was quite emotional. “Hay, don’t cry, silly…” he tried to cheer her up a bit. She sniffed a little and rubbed her eyes. “How about you and me go out for ice cream today?” Alex suggested. Shinobi smiled and nodded “Okay…” “See? Knew I could make you happy.” He smiled and laughed softly.
She rubbed her face and smiled at him
“Let’s go downstairs; mom and dad are really worried about you.” He nodded to his sister “Right after you Shinobi.” He said and followed his sister downstairs. “Alex!” his mother yelled rushing over to him and hugged him tightly “mom…” he hugged his mother. “Are you alright? You blacked out yesterday.” “I did?” He looked up at his mom “I really don’t remember anything from yesterday night…” His father went over to him and looked at him “You do seam better Alex.” “That’s cause I am better” He smiled and nodded. “Well how about some food?” His mother asked and looked at Alex “I’d love some.” He nodded and sat behind the table.
“What would you like?” His mother asked. “Anything really.” He smiled. “Alright, I’ll see what’s left.” His mother walked into the kitchen and began preparing something for him.
“So dad you never told me about the case you’ve been investigating.” “Well, we are now investigating a murder case that took place a few weeks ago, it was around the western shopping center, and five people were murdered.” His father nodded. Alex nodded and looked at the table cloth. “So what else is with that guy?” “Well, he’s been harassing a few of our police officers, so we really want to find this guy soon.” “Yeah, I hope you guys do find him soon.” Alex nodded to his dad. “But, what the heck happened to me yesterday?” He asked his father looking up at him. “Exhaustion, you had a very high fever and you blacked out when you went after Shinobi.” “Oh…okay.” He leaned back in his chair and tapped his fingers on the table.
“Will you be able to go to school tomorrow?” “I guess.” Alex nodded “Do you know the guy’s name by any chance?” “Yes, actually, Chou Baka” “Okay” Alex nodded. And he looked into the kitchen at his mom. “Food will be ready in a few seconds Alex, bear with me.” “Alright mom.” Alex yelled to the kitchen and rubbed his hand a little.
Shinobi smiled at Alex and sat behind the table. “Alex is taking me out for Ice-cream today.” “Is he now?” “Yes I guess I am dad.” Alex laughed. “We’re gonna walk around Shibuya and look at clothes and people.” Shinobi nodded to Alex. “Alright, alright, if you really want Shinobi.” He laughed.
They all ate that night. It was about 6:30 when Alex and Shinobi were done. “We getter go now Alex, so get dressed in something warm.” Shinobi said a bit worriedly. “Kay.” Alex replied and ran up the stairs. He then thought about the killer for a moment then went to his newly purchased Death Note. He stroke the cover a bit and opened it. He then took a pen and wrote the name in, he then closed the Death Note and put it back. He didn’t really think it’ll do anything. He then got dressed and walked back downstairs. “I’m back! Let’s go Shinobi.” He smiled at his sister and went out of the door with her.

+!Creating your own Character!+ (My Final Project)

Step 1: Create Your own character using my Guidelines and Form

Form:
1. Determine who the character is:

  • Male, Female, Other
  • Ditailed description of your character (Like: Eye-color, hair-color, weight, height etc...)
  • Give a little background of your character. (This'll determine who the character is)
  • where was he born? does he have a loved one? who is he?

2: Seting/place

let's switch to plot now. where is your character headed? what does he want to accomplish by this? (Usually what I do is, i Just throw mine into random settings and see where they land)

3: Name

Now going back to your character, give him a name. make sure the name fit's his personality and appearance. (Personally i reaserch names on Google or Yahoo, i usually do that for my 19th century based stories.)

Tip: Please choose an easy name, beleave me you don't want a bunch of characters named "Joqylo" and "Matashisasakisshi" you will make it easier on yourself and others.

4: Full plot, te fun part, you create the characters future or present. (and add to the past if you'd like or if you think the character lacks in it) you will have to create the problem he faces. in other words, all that the reader needs to know about the character and the story. give your character a strong trait and a weakness. (Chocolate is not an option! sorry!) Ask yourself this when you write. Why is your character the way he is? it's all up to you. (You can refer to books and movies if you can't figure out a plot for your character)

5: the Point of the story.

the point of the whole story is for the character to undergo some kind of a change. make him overcome a problem or a moral dillema. Make him Change (In a good way) He mght have a different view of his friends or the world, whatever you choose the change to be, make it noticable!

When you have all thesw things in place, you have completed your very own character! congrats!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The example:

Step1: Male, pale blue eyes, about 6 feet tall, white hair. (Not an albino thought) he was married to a woman, but one day he was killed and he became hollow in his reincarnation. he was originally born in England in the 19th century. he is just a spirit of a man now.

Step2: he is now living in this crazy world, and works for this woman, his job is to steal souls and that way he grants them mercy from their suffering. he does not enjoy his job but he has to do it, if not he will get punished by his so called 'Mistress'

Step 3: I named him "Guilt" (don't ask me why, i don't know myself.)

step4: so now Guilt is just working for is mistress and stealing souls from humans (As he himself is not one, my story is taking place in the 19th century) the problem with guilt is that he wants to see the woman he was with when he was alive, but he cannot because his mistress borbids him to. she then later on asks him to kill her (but if you want to find out what happens, you need to read it for yourself!)

The point: Well, i won't really tell you the point because i'll spoil it for you guys.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Yes Alex, it's my Misericordia Guilt. and yes "Misericordia" translated from latin means "Mercy"

How to: Create a Memorale Character

This is a paper i did last simester in my English class, it's quite good if you ask me ^_^


I’ve been doing this for quite a while now, seven years to be exact. I have been creating all kinds of good characters and bad characters, and both come up good. Creating a character is very similar to having a baby, they become your children. I pretty much know what I’m doing. If you read a few of my stories, you should know what I’m talking about. I work on my characters very thoroughly and research them deeply; many of them are memorable till this day. 50% are tragic characters, and I abuse them quite a lot. Like poor Lucifer (AKA luci) from “A Silhouette Soul.” I put him in quite a lot of drama; it has more drama then happy moments actually.
So, let’s say you are sitting at home one day, and you have a story idea. The plot is set, the research is done, and everything is set basically, but you are missing the characters. I’m here to help.
The first thing you do is determine who the character is. For example: you decide it is a male, tall, handsome, green-eyed, black haired prince. Give a little background about him at the beginning He lost his fiancée three years ago, and now he goes around, looking for someone to console him; he is accompanied by a posy of five hundred men. That’s your start.
What I do with my characters is throw them in some sort of a setting and you get to know them bit by bit, it makes you feel god-like really and By the end of the story, you know all about them.
Then you give them a desirable name; usually try to research names on Google or any other search engine you know of. That’s what I do with my 19th century based stories. My newer one “Kamijo” was like that. Please choose an easy name and a name you like, so don’t name your character Xsugmalup, because the reader would stumble on the unfamiliar word. Therefore, he’ll stop reading the story. Let’s say you named him Armand (last names are optional, depending on the story.)
Then the fun part comes. You create his history, his past and present, and most everything you and the reader/readers need to know about him. Give your character strong traits and a weakness. Ask yourself this, when you write, why he is the way he is? It’s all up to you. Refer to books, or TV to create somewhat of an idea for the characters past. Again for my story ‘Kamijo’ I borrowed the stage name of the vocalist of the Band ‘Versailles’ Kamijo was sort of a womanizer in my story, and he wanted Lester’s Fiancée. (read it, it’s really good =])
Create an antagonist using the same method, and let the villain terrorize the protagonist. If you want to include a secondary character or a side kick, don’t let him take over the whole situations; he only has a small part in this. The secondary character does not need to face any problems so do not reveal his tragic life story on how his father was killed and he is looking for a one-eyed dragon etc… his parts are minor. Keep that in mind. None of my characters—(no…Guilt from my ‘Misericordia’ series, has a servant, there’s not much about him, unless he is talked to.)
By the end of the story, the protagonist must survive a struggle or a moral dilemma. The character must undergo a change for the better; in most stories, that’s how it works. He might have a different view or perspective on things or overcome a weakness. Whatever the change is, make it noticeable.
When you have all these little things in place, you’ll create very memorable characters. I think both my “Misericordia” and “Kamijo” stories have these things, there fore; they both have very memorable characters.
(If you’d like to read any of them, go to www.fanfiction.net/~mygothiclover)

Here are some of my Most Favorit Characters:

(Suou Tamaki from OHSHC )

(Mello Of Death Note)

(Haji of Blood Plus )
(Count AKA Edmond Dantes of Gankutsuou: The Count of Monte Cristo)
