Creative Writing: Empire Island

Improved Essays
Three kids wandered along a disappearing path in the middle of a dense forest. These children looked strange. The tallest girl, Anna, wore black and white on either half of her body. The other girl wore a plain white mask over her face. Her name was Persephone. There was only one boy in the group, his name was Shad.
“Where are we?” Anna murmured. She looked back to consult Persephone and Shad, but they both shrugged. “I guess we should just keep walking then.”
The kids walked in a straight line until the sun was directly overhead. The trees seemed to move closer together and become a more vibrant green. Birds chirped loudly and bees passed by.
“Nothing looks familiar. Maybe we should turn around.” Persephone said, looking to her companions

    Ordinarily, the forest would naturally be quiet; but there wasn’t a sound to be heard (Excluding the group themselves), the morning sun just beginning to peak over the mountain’s edge and the moist air thick and cold against their lungs. Wendy had layered on a leather coat over a thick flannel jacket, paired with black jeans and black boots that laced up to her shin’s; she walked with a certain air to her, that seemed like she could (And would,) kick you through a tree with no effort. Dipper had changed into a blue button up covered by a black jacket and the same jeans he had arrived to gravity falls with; his hat was pulled onto his head and the cap tilted down to hide his eyes as they scanned the large map he and his friends had been creating…

    Dalé A man stands abreast to the greyish shoreline upon a rocky island. He lets out a deep moan that smells of whisky from behind his unkempt pepper-salt beard and lifts his spyglass to a baggy eye. Seabirds call in the distance, swooping over one another in play. The air smells of salt and diesel, and is rife with moisture which forms a heavy fog.…

    Every time I remember my family vacation to North Carolina, I recall the one lesson I learned on that invigorating trip: respect nature. The Appalachian Mountains in North Carolina attract thousands of hikers annually due to their beautiful, lengthy hiking trails. However, remaining on the beaten path is more crucial than one might assume. Having driven the long route to the trail, my father, sister, brother, and I hopped out of our green minivan and purchased water bottles and park maps from the information kiosk located at the start of the trail.…

    His fingers were trailing up and down her sides over her ribs while the heels of his hands made lazy progress up her spine. Blair was jolted to the soles of her feet when his fingers brushed the sides of her breasts, plumped out against the quilt. She shifted her weight and he got the less-than-subtle message. His hands left her long enough to get more lotion. When next he began, they were on the backs of her knees.…

    It was over. The Empire had lost both their leader and strongest weapon, not to mention some of their finest troops. Sure, they still had Admirals spread throughout the galaxy, each probably with their own fleet, but without someone there to hold their hands and make sure they all got along, it was doubtful that they would be able to continue in a war. Years of the Rebellion's fighting, of losing allies and friends, had finally paid off.…
