The Princess of Darkness: Prologue

PROLOGUE:
My name is Lilith Desiree Night.  Most people when they meet me think I'm really nice, despite my first name, but when they hear the rest of my name they believe that I am evil.  I never met my real parents, they died in a car wreck the day I was born.  I only barely survived the head-on crash, and that's because I was in the backseat, as far away from the front as possible.  My three older siblings died as well, in the row of seats in front of me.  My twin was adopted to a different family.  Lucifer isn't evil as he sounds.  I've met him, we barely got along.  I am the "evil twin".  Lucifer Devin Night is my brother's name, an evil sounding name that our parents gave to him just hours before their death.  Many people believe that it was Lucifer's fault, or rather, my parent's fault for giving their baby such an evil name.  I have heard my older sibling's names, my adoptive parents told me that they were all nice sounding names, Zoey, Nathaniel, and Kailyn.  I don't know my parent's names, my adoptive parents tell me that I don't need to know their names because they are no longer my parents.

When I turned ten years old I started changing.  At first my adoptive parents told me that nothing was happening, that it was just my imagination, so they let me do things that they thought wouldn't last long, like painting my bedroom walls black, and using Halloween decorations to decorate bedroom.  Then I started getting rid of all of the stuff that they had given me before the changing, my little dolls that I had never played with, my princess books, and movies, and all of my old clothes.  They bought me new things, thinking that it was just a phase, and that I'd get over this darkness soon, but I never did.

My adoptive parents call me goth, but I'm not goth.  At least, that's not what I consider myself.  I love Halloween, and the color black, and I tend to be a very creepy person, but those aren't things that make me goth.  I think of myself as a Vampire, but I'm not a vampire yet, I am meant to become one.  That is what happened on my twelfth birthday.

I was getting changed for bed, into my black pants, and black Twilight t-shirt.  I looked around my room one last time before I turned off my light.  The black walls, and ceiling looked comforting to me.  My bed decorated with several pillows, all of which had black, or red pillowcases, looked extremely comfortable at eleven at night. 
  I was exhausted, normally I went to bed at ten, but I had gotten distracted rearranging some of my decorations.  I liked to keep my room looking new, well cleaned, organized, and the decorations changing places at least once a week!
  My parents were happy that I kept my room clean, but they could do without the Halloween stuff. 
  I flicked the light switch and was consumed in darkness.  I wasn't afraid as I would have been when I was younger though, the darkness felt warm, and inviting, as if I was meant to be a part of it, as if I were a part of it.  I climbed into my bed, pulling the covers up to my shoulders. 
  I reach up to the shelf above my bed to turn on my iPod, I listened to music at night, Halloween music, like "The Nightmare Before Christmas" mostly, but sometimes I would listen to other songs, too. 
  After I turned on the song "This is Halloween" I heard a knocking at my window.  At first I was afraid, but when I looked up, and saw the pale face staring at me from across my bedroom, I knew that I needed to open the window.  I knew that it was a vampire, and I knew that he needed to be invited in.  That's what I did.
  "Come in, lone vampire.  Why have you come to me on this much desired night?"  I asked, flinging open the window.  I had been working on what I would say to a vampire since my "changing" happened, but I hadn't needed to use it until then. 
  "You speak to me, and invite me in as if you have been awaiting my coming for some time.  Speak young one, tell me of the reason for your boldness," he said, raising an eyebrow at me.  I wondered if maybe I should have acted afraid, at least for a few moments.
  "I believe I am meant to become one of you.  I have been awaiting this moment since I was ten years old, the year my changing started, the year I started to see them," I said, dropping my voice to a whisped at the end of my statement.  The vampire nodded as if it was something he had heard before.  It was my turn to raise an eyebrow at him.
  "Doesn't what I have said surprise you?!" I demanded.  He smiled at me.
  "No changling.  I have been told of your odd ways, and I have come to speak to you of fulfilling your destiny.  You say you are meant to be a vampire?  Well I have a way," he paused, looking at me, as if waiting for an answer.
  "Really?  You will make me a vampire?!  I have dreamt of the day a true vampire would tell me that!" I had been teased at school during my first months of my changing by everybody at school, even the teachers started mocking me!
  "I have a son, changling, his name is Damien Echo Darkness, if you agree to become his wife when you are eighteen years of age then I will have you changed.  You must also agree to allow Damien, and me to come to you if we are hungry, and to feed off of your blood.  We swear to protect you until you turn eighteen if you agree," I was nodded my head through all of his terms, and conditions.  I would have to allow two vampires to drink my blood, and in exchange I would be married to one, and changed in just six years! I knew what I had to do.
  I nodded again, and suddenly, everything when black.
  I awoke the next morning feeling more tired than the night before.  I was barely able to get out of my bed, but I did.  I got out of bed, and did my morning routine, ending with getting a breakfast of toast with peanut butter on it. 
  "Did you sleep well Desie?" My Mother asked when she came into the kitchen.  I asked people to call me "Desie" because I had always liked my middle name better than my first name.  I shook my head in answer to her question.
  "I had nightmares all night!" I exclaimed, but I couldn't remember any nightmares.  I finished eating my toast, and ran to get my backpack from my bedroom before my Mother could ask anymore questions. 
  "Desie! You're going to be late for school! Hurry!" She called from upstairs, my bedroom was in the basement.

  That is how I met the vampire who changed my life.  Later, only about a week later I met Damien.  Damien, and his father's visits became a daily part of my routine on my thirteenth birthday, and by my fourteenth, Damien, and I had fallen completely in love.  That was also the year that my life was turned completely upside-down, and the year that I finally met Damien's sister, Ember Nocturnia Darkness.

Read the next chapter next week!! :)

Anouncement

First, I am changing the name o my blog because it no linger suits it. At first I was going to post mostly wild animal related posts, so nature's place worked.

Second, in another atempted to blog more often I have come up with a story idea that I will TRY to post every week. I don't know what day of the week yet, so keep an eye out for my next post!!

Third, my first ever Betta, King Jonathan the 1st, dies on Tuesday o Dropsy. He will be missed greatly :(

Fourth, I'm sorry for any misspellings, and things like that, I'm posting from my iPod!

Queen Thayet and the new comers

There was once a fish named Queen Thayet Bubbles the 1st.  She lived in a big tank all by herself.  Good lighting, plenty of food, the water was almost warm enough, Thayet's life was great!
   Then one night a few hours before bed Thayet's human friend walked towards the tank, Thayet was very happy to see her human friend. 
   Her human friend took the tank lid off, which was unusual, but Thayet hope it just meant she was going to be fed.  Then the human stuck something onto the back of the tank.  That's very odd... Thayet thought, but it wouldn't bother her.  Then the human stuck something on the front of the tank.  That wouldn't bother her either, Thayet decided. 
  The human put some plants in the tank.  Thayet even liked this addition! Then the human added something that definitely bothered her.  New fish.
   "This is my territory!" Thayet yelled at the first one.  The one that looked similar to herself.  She charged the new fish, nipping it's fins, and scales.  Then she realized something.  This fish is sick! She backed away.
   There were two new comers, she attacked the second one, the white one.  The white fish darted away, wailing about being sorry, about not choosing another fish's territory to live in, that she was brought to the tank by a human.  Thayet paused when she heard that last bit.
   "There are your new friends Thayet!" Thayet's human friend said.  Thayet was sad, because her human thought that more fish would be a good idea, angry, because her human had been stupid enough to actually buy more fish, and touched, because her human had thought she was lonely.  Thayet knew that the dark fish was sick though, whether or not her human realized it.
   Thayet decided to learn these fishes' names.  She cornered the white one, and forced her to say her name.  "Princess Zoey Astelle Whitebird is the name I was given by the humans!" Humans?  More than one?  Thayet thought, maybe a different human had forced her human into getting more fish! Though she did enjoy that the humans had made her a queen, and the white one a simple princess.  Was the dark one a princess, too? 
   The dark one darted up, and nipped Thayet's tail fin while Thayet was thinking.  "My name is Princess Aphrodite Aqua Whitlock! Soon, though, I am going to become Queen Aphrodite Aqua Whitlock!" She started acting like she was going to attack Thayet again.  Thayet flared out her gills, making her even bigger than she really was.  Aphrodite backed away slowly. 
   So, Aphrodite was the sick one.  Zoey was the scared one.  That left Thayet as top fish, still Queen of the tank.
   A few days passed, and Aphrodite's fins continued to get worse.  Then Thayet's fins started to rot away.  Thayet was furious, she started attacking Aphrodite, mad at the new fish for getting her sick.  In another day or two all three of them had fin rot. 
   The human took all the fish out, and cleaned it, removing most of the infected water.  The fish were still sick.
   One day the human was gone for a while, then she came back and poured some odd-smelling stuff into the water.  It made their aching, rotting fins feel a lot better.  The human added that everyday for three days.  Then she didn't add anymore until she took out a small amount of water five days later.
   Then about three days after that Thayet was having a hard time seeing out of one eye.  Both Zoey, and Aphrodite started to attack her.  By the next day she was completely blind in that eye, and the other two had biten away until they were half gone.  The fin rot was still there, just barely.  She was also losing scales, so she looked like she had white spots on her body. 
   The human was very scared.  She some of the water, and added several medicines, but Thayet got worse.  She didn't eat the morning that the human changed the water. 
   The human decided that even though you're not supposed to only have two female betta fish in one tank Thayet needed to be taken out, to protect her from the princesses.  Thayet went into her own small tank, where she sank down to the bottom near the plant.
   The next day she didn't even move when the human fed her.  Then later, when the human checked on her after having been gone most of the day she found Thayet in the same postition as when she had left that morning, only Thayet had white fuzz around her mouth. 
   The human then started to believe that Thayet had died.  The next day, when Thayet had not moved from that postition, and the fuzz was growing the human knew that she was dead.

Queen Thayet Bubbles the First died of disease, and suffocation when Princess Aphrodite Aqua Whitlock brought in fin rot (and who knows what else).  She suffocated when she was so sick that she could not swim up for air as Betta fish require to live.  She died almost exactly six months after she was gifted to me.  She was my first female Betta, and my second Betta total. 

My first, King Jonathan the First, was supposed to be her mate, but was too old to breed by the time I got Thayet. 

King is now two years old, and will live up to three more years if I keep him healthy.  Thayet could have lived four.  Zoey, and Aphrodite will live five more, if I make sure that I get rid of all traces of whatever killed Thayet. 

I believe that Zoey was healthy when I got her, but she is white, so Ick, and a few other diseases that show up as white specks, and blotches would be invisible on her.  I know for sure that Aphrodite had fin rot, but I read that you need at least three female Betta fish to be certain that they can have a hierarchy system, and two will simply kill each other, therefore I believed that I couldn't leave Thayet, and Zoey alone in the tank.

I called Zoey my little angel for a while, because she is white, and she is the only one who wasn't fighting.  For a few days I had a fin-nipper, but I wasn't sure who it was.  One day, during feeding time, I was talking to them, and Zoey swam out.  "Hello my Angel!" I said when I saw her.  She lost this nickname when I noticed a bit of Aphrodite's fin in her mouth.  I was horrified when Zoey threw up bits of fin, and began to eat them again.

Thayet was the most friendly fish I ever met, and I will miss her a lot.  If I ever find another fish the same colors, and as friendly as her I will buy it in Thayet's memory.  It's name will be Queen Thayet Bubbles the second, but she will never be able to replace QTBT1st. 

RIP THAYET.

NaNoWriMo, and Kylie's fish.

So let's face it, I'm not great about blogging.  I'll get into it, and be great about it for a while then, oops! It's been two months since I last blogged!

This month I'm doing NaNoWriMo (national novel writer's month).  I'm finishing The Powers: Kylie's Test for it.  I just decided that Kylie ends up in their new house, and get three fish tanks! Two two gallon tanks, each has a male Betta in it, and one fifty gallon tank community tank! She has four female Bettas, four male, and two female Guppies, several Neon tetra, and a Suckerfish in the community tank. 

Her Bettas are:
King, a black, and blue bodied male Crowntail Betta, with blue, and red fins. 
Blaze, a bright red male Halfmoon Betta.
Queenie, a female Betta with more or less the same coloring as King.
Moonshadow (Shadow for short), a black female Betta.
Solar Flare (Flare for short), a red female Betta with orange fins.
Lavender (Lavy for short), a female Betta that is multiple shades of purple.

Her Guppies are:
Shade, a black male Guppy.
River, a male fancy Guppy, with a black body, a blue head, and blue fins with darker blue spots on them, and black on the tips.
Pine, another male fancy Guppy, has the same pattern as River, but he's green, and black instead of blue, and black.
Apollo, is an orange male Guppy with red fins.
Princess, is a female (obviously?) Guppy that is all pink, except for the tips of her fins, which are purple.
Zara, is a female fancy Guppy with the same pattern as Pine, and River, except she's red, not blue, or green.

Her suckerfish:
Muddy, is a brown suckerfish, with dark spots.  Gender unknown.

And the neon tetras are unnamed due to lack of difference between them.

So that's what Kylie is up to! Naming, and tending to her fish!

This RanDom World...

My friends and I created a YouTube account to put up videos we make for fun.  It's called ThisRanDomWorld1.  I recently put up a video about Sharks that I made for a presentation, called "Nobody understands sharks".  If you decide to watch my videos remember one thing: They're not supposed to be GOOD videos, they're supposed to be funny, and/or entertaining.  They were made for fun, so that's what I want them to be.

I am also going to start a webcomic about sharks! Keep checking back for when I start putting it up! :)

Maneaters:
These are the main Characters for my Webcomic "Maneaters".

This is Ebony, she's a blacktip reef shark.  She's new to Hawaii, where humans are illegal to hunt.  If you're a shark, and you hunt a human, whether you kill that human or not, you are banished, not allowed to return. 

Belia is an Albino Great White shark, the most popular shark in school! Belia is dating another Great White named Jason.  Orphaned, her parents were banished after accidentally attacking humans.

Horns is a Bully, Bull shark.  Constantly teases Ebony, for being the new shark, and Little blue, for his name, and fins.

Little Blue is a Thresher shark.  Blue has abnormally large fins, even for a Thresher.  Constantly being teased by Horns, Ebony becomes his best friend.

Nala is a tiger shark.  Nala is nice to everybody, but she has a short temper.  If you make Nala mad be careful, she's attacked a few sharks before.  Little Blue's tail used to be even longer! He learned not to make Nala mad the hard way...

Sally is a hammerhead.  Sally is the smartest shark in the entire school.  Mr. Lemon's favorite student.  Little Blue, and Ebony are her friends.  Her only friends.

Mr. Lemon is the Shark School teacher.  He's mean, short-tempered, not afraid to bite, and only likes one of his students - Sally.  The only other sharks who even try to get his affection are Ebony, and Little Blue.  The others don't care whether he likes them or not, but they try not to make him mad.  Well, too mad.

I don't have a picture of Jason yet, but here's his description:
Jason is a great white shark that plays lots of sports.  Jason isn't Mr. Lemon's favorite student, in fact, he's Mr. Lemon's least favorite student, next to the cheerleader, Kimberly.  Jason is the most popular boy shark in the school, which is why he's dating Belia.  Which makes them the most popular couple in school.

And of course, Kimberly:

Kimberly is a Megamouth shark, which is appropriate, because the only thing she really knows is Cheerleading.  Kimberly's Mom disappeared, nobody knows where, not even her Dad.  Kimberly has six younger siblings! And people say Megamouths are rare.  Kimberly's two younger sisters are also cheerleaders.

There are more characters but those are the main characters.  Such as all of the shark families! Except for Belia's family of course.  Kimberly's family will probably be the most fun to create.  But out of the main characters I think Jason, Nala, Blue, and Ebony will be the most fun to draw, and create their personality. 

So that's my Webcomic! :)

School

This school year I am going to be studying sharks!

Well, I'm doing other things as well, but I'm going to try and make all of my subjects revolve around sharks :)

Such as:
Stories, and papers for english about sharks.
Shark Biology.
I'm gonna try and figure out how I can make my math problems into sharks problems.

At the beginning of the school year I'm going to do a presentation on sharks, what I know, and what I want to know.  My goal with this presentation is to show people that sharks shouldn't be feared.  They should be respected.  There is a difference.

I will have a list of goals for the school year including:
Learn about fresh and salt water aquarium sharks. (Like small sharks that people have in normal fish tanks!)
Visit an aquarium that has sharks in it.   (Big sharks :)
Go on a whale watch. (there is a chance of seeing a shark, plus I'd love to be more comfortable on boats..)
And more!

Bettas!!

I got a Female Betta fish on the 13th!! Her name is Queen Thayet Bubbles the First.  She is a "chocolate" female betta.  ("Chocolate" refers to her color.  King is a Cambodian male Crown-tail betta.) 

This is a picture of Thayet the day I got her! As a few of you may know I got King as a birthday present.  Thayet was also a birthday present! Only I got King in 2010, and Thayet in 2011.

Well that's my fishy!

New York City! Part 1 ;)

Over a week ago I returned home from New York.

I was there for a national dance competition! I got all gold awards, except for one dance.  Tango got silver, which is weird because the judges seem to like that one best!

We arrived in New York two weeks ago, from today.  We rode a bus all the way there! It was a long bus ride, but my three best friends were on the buses, so I was fine.  (On the first bus Bee, and I found infomation on our favorite artist, but that's another story :)

I'm going to type this as a "diary"...

Day 1:
We arrived in New York, the streets are so crowded! People, street venders, cabs! Everywhere! Tonight we went to "The Jekyll & Hyde club" for dinner.  A horror themed resturant.  My kind of place :)  It was fun, plus we had to sing-a-long with a Vampire! :P I rode in a Taxi for the first time in my life! It was quite interesting :)

Day 2:
Ugh, I got up early, now I'm going to bed late.  The going to bed late thing is normal, but I can't handle being up at 7AM! Too bad.  This morning we had classes at a dance studio in New York.  From 10AM, until around 3PM, I think... I don't know, they were long.  I didn't really like those classes very much.  Afterwards we went to Times Square, to the giant Toys R Us, which is funny, because the competition team had mostly teens in New York.  There's a ferris wheel inside the Toys R Us, a 70 ft. tall one I was told.  After Toys R Us a small group went to M&M World, and the Hershey Factory.  I don't like M&M's but even I had to admit that the Hershey factory was nothing compared to M&M world!

Day 3:
AHHH!!! This morning we got up, got breakfast, and went to A FERRY (We took a subway there, and I love trains!).  A.K.A. BOAT! I hate boats! And the ride to Staten Island was awful! I wanted to stay with the team, so I sat down outside, with everybody hanging over the edge, then most people went inside, but I couldn't move to follow! I litterally COULD NOT MOVE! We got to Staten island, and got on the next ferry (I was inside on that one, so it wasn't as bad), and went back to the city.  We walked to Ground Zero, it was pretty cool.  Then we had more dance classes.  My Mom, Sister, Ris, her Grandma, and I took the subway to the dance studio, we were the second ones there! Some other people had decided not to go with us because they were afraid of being late.  Later we went to see the broadway show "Anything Goes".  It was amazing, AND we got autographs from some of the cast members.  :) 


Days 4, 5, and 6 will come later! In my 100th POST!
:)

two more!

After this post I need two more before I have 100 total posts on this blog!
So, a line explained.  A line from "Kylie's Test".

THE LINE:

“The good reason to trust me? You just passed the first test! 'Instinctive, trusting, strength/courage, independent, curious'. Those are the first things on the list!”

THE EXPLAINATION:
Kylie doesn't know whether or not to trust Isha when he says that there are some tests she has to take.  She asks him why she should trust him, and not her instincts, that was the answer he gave.  Each personality trait stands for an element:
Instinctive - Air (because the wind(or air) goes wherever, but not on a set course)

Trusting - Water (Because water moves along the path that was made for it (like a river), and very rarely leaves it's path)

Strength/Courage - Earth (Earth is strong, and with some strength comes courage)

Independent - Fire (Fire goes wherever it feels, and is very difficult to stop)

Curious - Spirit (Because with curiousity comes learning, and discovering, which leads to spirit (at least in this story)). 

"So far," Isha tells Kylie, "you are all of the above." 
Kylie is trusting her instincts telling Isha she doesn't want to go with him. 
She was showing her curiousity by asking about what he said. 
She's trusting because she agreed to talk to her foster mother about her buying a house for just the six kids.  She's independent because she likes things her way, but she's a good leader also. 
She's "strong" (Stubborn) when somebody says something highly against a plan of hers, and she brave enough to stand up for herself. 
But she also knows when not to stand up for herself, at least mostly.  She tries to know when enough is enough, though she fails quite often, and gets into trouble, especially when she accidentally says something, even something she would never even dream of saying!

"And, I hadn't wanted to talk back, but getting into trouble was, well, getting into trouble was what I did best."

So, any questions? :)

The Powers playlist.

I made this playlist for The Powers books.  You have to know my entire series plan to understand how all of these songs fit with the books, a lot of the songs are by The Cab, All Time Low, Owl City, and Boys Like Girls, and there are a few by other artists.  So, here's the play list:

1. The Beach - All Time Low
2. Take my Hand - The Cab^
3. I'll Run - The Cab^
4. Heart Heart Heartbreak - Boys Like Girls
5. The Bird and The Worm - Owl City^
6. Hooray for Beer - Bowling For Soup
7. Dear Maria, Count Me In - All Time Low
8. Six Feet Under the Stars - All Time Low
9. Sugar, We're Goin Down - Fall Out Boy
10. Cave In - Owl City^
11. This Side - Nickel Creek^
12. As Long as You're Mine - Wicked
13. This City's Contagious - The Cab^
14. Thunder - Boys Like Girls^

Not all of those are completely child-appropriate, I mean, one of them is called "Hooray for Beer".  So just be aware of that fact if you decided to listen to them.*

*I put a ^ next to the ones I know FOR SURE to be okay.

My 2011 Garden :)

This year my garden idea was new.  And who says Video games are bad for you?  Or not educational?!  It's a Plants VS. Zombies themed garden.  If you're not familiar with the game I'll explain. 
     In the game there are zombies trying to eat your brains, and you have to plant things to defend yourself.  Certain plants do certain things, such as:
    Sunflowers give you sun so you can buy other plants. 
    Peashooters shoot peas at the zombies to destroy them. 
    You can plant pumpkins on your other plants to add some defence. 
    Potato Mines blow up when a zombie steps on them. 
    And Kernel Pults are catapults that throw corn kernels, and butter.  The butter freezes the zombies, so they can't move, and the kernels hit them to do damage.
    
The reason I described these plants and not any of the many, many other plants in the game, is because the equivalent of these plants is what I am growing in my garden.
    Sunflowers
    Peas
    Pumpkins
    Potatoes (These are in buckets next to my garden, so I'm not really growing them.)
    And Corn.

At the of the game after you defeat "Dr. Zomboss" the zombie say something like "Fine you win, now we just want to make a music video with you!" You can find the music video on YouTube if you search "Plants Vs. Zombies song".

If you do play the game, what would you have if you were growing a PVZ garden?

Lots

Lots has happened.

Cinderella, came and went.  It went well! Though the ceiling in the theater came down the night before the last two shows!

I got my braces off two days ago! Feels really, weird.  I don't really like my retainer, but I don't have much choice...

Another competition happened! The scores were:
Lyric Solo (TS) - Gold
Lyric Duo (GD) - Gold
Lyric Trio (W) - High Silver
Tap Duo (Orange.  The new one! This was the first time doing it) - Gold, and 5th place overall duos of our category, and agelevel that day!
Tap Duo (Stray Cat) - Gold
Lyric Group (KHO) - Gold
Ballet Group (Celtic) - High Silver
Tap group (Tango) - Gold!
TS was probably the best, or it was my favorite preformance by me.

When Zombies Come

When Zombies Come, is a book I am writing about Zombies.  Kelsey, is 15, and living on her own.  Jack, and Peter are twin boys, they're 6, and they find Kelsey.  Kelsey adopts them.  They later find out things about themselves, their familys, friends, and more about the world they live in.  They meet other groups of survivors, and many groups of zombies!

The Powers *Interview with Kylie Black*

Q.  How did you feel when you discovered your powers?
A. Me?  I went into instant shock.  Isha told me by saying I was't human! Then told me how I wasn't human later.

Q. When did you meet Isha?
A. Well first in a dream, or a memory apparently.  Then in a mall, and later that day at my house!

Q. Why did you let Isha talk you into asking Myra to buy a house for you and your siblings?!
A. I wanted answers, no.  I needed answers! And my sisters and I had been trying to get away from Myra for a long time, Isha just gave me the key to getting us out of that house!

Q. What is your favorite part about having powers?
A. I don't know.  Probably the feeling of control, like I can control things, and I can control what happens to me.  I hate when I'm not in control of my life. 

Q. What's a song that means the most to you, about your powers and stuff.
A. There are a few songs that mean a lot to me with my powers. 
I'll Run, by The Cab always makes me think of the time that I tried to run away from everything, and Isha came with me. 
Cave In, by Owl City reminds me of when I first got my powers, or found out about them. 
I Gotchoo, by Bowling For Soup (bfs) makes me remember the time when we were in a town, and couldn't buy anything - not even food - but we had each othe, so we didn't care!
On Top of The World, by Boys Like Girls (blg) makes me think of when Isha brought us into the clouds to keep us all safe!
This City is Contagious, by The Cab makes me think of when I thought up the hidden-worlder city! Which we hide so no humans can see it, only hidden-worlders can! And, unfortunately, demons, vampires, zombies, ghosts, etc.

Q. What is the most important thing who hope to use your powers for?
A. Easy, I want to destroy the darkest lord.  Even though he will never be gone forever.  The world needs a balance of good and evil to work properly, the hidden-worlders have to keep the good part.  The darkest lord doesn't get this, he wants the world to be run his way.  If everybody in the world could help us hidden-worlders somehow we'd fix things to the way they were before the world needed hidden-worlders! But the humans cannot break the control of the demons completely, or, if they do, they can't break it completely for very long.

Thank you Kylie :P

Music!

So remember how my music teacher and I were going to record my sooooong?  I got a copy of the actual recording today! I've already started multipul songs that I'm currently working on! One I'm writing as a joke... Tomorrow I am playing in a talent show! I am playing Window Warrior, and Vegas Skies :) 

Speaking of writing songs! I am writing a story for a contest about a musician, whose writing a song for her dancer friend! :)

Why I have not blogged.

My music teacher and I recorded my first song! It's not done being edited yet, but I'm going to make a music video for it when it's done :)  I'm already writing four more songs, too! I haven't put my guitar back into it's case since Friday afternoon!! And my band was going to be called "The Secret Sisters" but there's already a band with that name..... *sigh*

Sorry I haven't posted a lot, I've been............. busy. >_>  It's only been a little over a week since I last posted though.

I have been practicing my guitar a lot, and of course, I've been busy with dance.  I've got a talent show on the 1st, and a science fair on the 3rd, so I'm busy preparing for those.  I'm also helping out with a preschool french class now. 

That's a few rreasons I have not blogged recently.

Books:

SHADOWMANCER(G.P.Taylor):
Interesting.  But, not a quick read.  Takes a long time.

Thomas, the orphaned boy, meets Raphah, a boy who has come from a far away land(haha!). 
The "Dumurrel" stole something from Raphah's people, Raphah has to steal it back.  Thomas, and his friend Kate, decide to help Raphah, but - of course - regret it later.  I personally hate Raphah.  He was O.K., in the beginning, but he said something I didn't like.  He's mean to dogs.  -.-  So, read this book! UNLESS, you like dogs.  Then, you still could read it, just hope for Raphah to die :D

JUST ELLA(Margaret Peterson Haddix):
Great book! I finished this one in a few hours. 

The author's version of "Cinderella", only this one doesn't have any kind of Fairy Godmothers, or magic.  It's a story about a commoner girl who ends up with the prince! Then she finds out she doesn't really love the prince.  It's a great story, and a quick read.  Personally, I find quick reads more interesting.  In books that take a long time to read the story is drawn out, and it kind of annoys me! You should DEFFINATELY read this! Great author, Margaret Peterson Haddix.  You should read all of her books.  Yup, all of them.  Every single one.  Well?  Are you looking for her books?  NO?!?! You'd better start. o.0


RAVEN SUMMER(David Almond):
Another fantastic book, from a favorite author of mine: David Almond.  :)

Liam, and his friend Max are digging in Liam's yard.  They see a raven, and end up following it.  The raven leads them to a baby! They bring the baby to Liam's house, and the baby ends up in a foster home.  Then, the baby goes back to Liam's house and lives with them.  Another pretty quick read.  What I really like about quick reads is that I can read them, and just keep reading them until they're done, and I don't have to stop! In longer reads it's more difficult to keep concentrated.  GREAT BOOK, GREAT AUTHOR, GREAT READ! So far....... >_> Quote(:D):
"I want to be crazy as the moon, wild as the wind, and still as the earth.  I'm growing, but I don't know how to grow.  I'm alive, but I haven't started living yet.  Sometimes I simply disappear from myself.  Sometimes it's like I'm not here in the world at all, and I simply don't exist."

A Day in the Life of a Zarin (Chapter 5!)

I stared at Sierra in horror.  "What?!" I whispered.  "They want Tessen.  This is why I didn't bring Rayleigh.  I knew they," she nodded towards the Kreatures, "were out here.  And I didn't want to endanger her!" "Why didn't you tell me?! That way I could have protected Tess!" I was fuming.  I couldn't believe that Sierra would protect her younger sibling, but didn't give any thought to mine! Even when I told her I was bringing Tessen! I glared at her.  "Kreature's, please! Listen to me!" I decided something that I would regret the rest of my life.  "You do not want this child!" I gestured to Tessen.  Then looked at them.  They had stopped, and were waiting for me to finish.  "Kaylinn, what are you doing?"  Sierra asked, in a frightened whisper.  "I'm doing what you almost did to Tessen!" Her eyes widened when she realized what I meant.  "Kayl, please, no!" She was terrified.  I was glad.  "Don't call me Kayl!" Then the Kreatures spoke.  In a high-pitched, wheezy whisper that sounded like something being drag along wood.  "What do you intend to give us instead of your brother?"  The first Kreature said.  Then the second spoke in a low, hoarse whisper.  "Would you give up your friend, for him?"  I looked at him in surprise.  Then I looked at Sierra, who was huddling towards the ground.  I opened my Mouth to speak, but Sierra beat me.  "Take Kaylinn!" She said.  I gaped at her.  "No, take Sierra.  She has no family!" Sierra's eyes went wide, as my words sunk in.  It was true.  If a Zarin ran away he, or she, would be disowned by their family.  Sierra would have to wait until she was an adult, 15, to go back to her family.  Then she will be welcomed back with open arms.
