Um I had to write a sci-fi story for my creative writing class and this is it i call it THE ADVENTURES OF SOPHIE ALMOS
I couldn't think of a name for it so sue me for a nickle
A woman leads a group of children to a clearing in the meadow behind the school. She sits down, and the children sit around her “Now then children today we will be reading from journals written millennia’s ago.”
A small girl in a pink dress waves her hand franticly in the air, her eyes like large emeralds, and her black pigtails flying every which way, was trying to get the teachers attention.
“Yes Sylvia, what is it?” the teacher asked while shutting the journal.
“My grandmother told me this story before, it’s about King Seth and Queen Sophie right? That’s my favorite story.”
“Why yes Sylvia that is what we are going to read about today, but everyone and all the events in these journals are real.” The teacher said drumming her fingers on the first journal.
“I know my grandmother also told my that I’m a direct decedent of King Seth and Queen Sophie.” Sylvia stated in a matter of fact tone.
“Interesting, now quiet down so I can start reading.” said the teacher before she started to read.
“November 13, 2051
Frame of mind ~emo~
It’s three months into my senior year and I still have no friends. It’s rather pathetic really, and all because I have pale skin, yellow eyes (Hello, ever heard of contacts people? It’s not my fault I like yellow, well maybe it is but that’s beside the point) I also have black hair and unusually long canine teeth… not to mention the dragon shaped birthmark circles around the length of my arm.”
“WOW! She sounds just like me, well excepted for the friends and dragon thing, right Mark?”
A boy sitting next to the teacher exclaimed rather loudly.
“Yeah yellow eyes are so awesome! I wish I had yellow eyes instead of the boring purple eyes me and my family has.” Mark said just as loudly as the other boy.
“Mark its ‘My family and I have’ not ‘Me and my family has.’, and please don’t interrupt me while I’m reading it’s impolite.” The teacher said as she started to read
“So I’m sitting in the back of first hour English, all alone, just little old me with the song ‘This is the song that never ends’ stuck in my head ~sigh~ I AM SO COMING TO SCHOOL IN A PINK TUTU! Shya tomorrow is so going to be awesome! Anyway this is my first entry. My therapist thought I needed to vent out some emotion or something like that, but I won’t “talk” to her, so she gave me this…I wonder how long this rip has been in the wall back here. It’s all sparkly like…”
The teacher turns the page slowly rereading the words again, mesmerized by the crude writing and the foul language she had to omit for the children’s sake, ‘All the copies are nothing but cleaned up printouts nothing like the real thing. why I even have to…’ Her muses are interrupted by Marks voice
“Miss Charlotte hurry up and read the next page!”
“Oh um sorry. Now than let’s see here.” Charlotte started to read again
“Time period unknown
Frame of mind~ clueless and frustrated
Okay so I’m in this village right now and I have no idea what is going on. The only thing that I do know is that although it appears that I’m still on Earth, its not 2051. I have no idea what the date is, but the sun is a bright whitish/yellowish (w00t yellow sun) and the land surrounding the village is bare, except for what looks like patches of grass and ferns, and there are some trees albeit there are few and far between but still…
I must have been walking around for a day or two before I came to this village. It’s one of those places where everyone knows everyone else’s business, so naturally everyone knew that I was here not some thirty minutes after my arrival. Mostly do to the fact that it’s strange for a girl to be wearing what I was wearing.
The day I touched the sparkly rip in the wall I was wearing my favorite outfit, a plain black shirt cut to my middle ribs (I was wearing a jacket, but I took it off at some point before school, the teachers didn’t notice) my black baggy pants with chains that I attached with staples, and my black converses with blue duck tape holding them together.
Normally girls from this village wear dresses or feminine pants/shirts, hardly show the same amount of skin that I was showing when I was discovered in front of the village. Thanks to the sun and little to no shade, my black clothes were a little to warm for me so I found a sharp rock (the same one that I killed the poor lizard with for dinner) and cut my shirt a little higher and cut my pants three inches above my knees, I put my chains in my pockets.
Everyone ignores me most of the time. Maybe because of my strange ways and the way I speak? I lied not everyone, there is this one guy, named Seth Gundisal Vadimas Quinn Aodhfin, he talks to me and quite frankly I’d rather he not why? Because he thinks he’s so cool just because he can make girls drool all over themselves when he smiles at them! God I hate him I even hate his name, he had to write it down just so I could remember it.
Thinking he can buy me dresses and what not. I am perfectly happy with my clothes… although I do like that emerald dress, it goes great with my eyes ( I took out my contacts to take a nap and something happened to them so now I’m stuck with my green eyes.) So I wore my emerald dress without my contacts in and Seth had the nerve to tell me that he was glad he took my contacts (I had to explain to him that my eyes aren’t really yellow ~ emo sob~ )because my green eyes are so much better! I hate, hate, hate, HATE HIM!
Even if he is the hottest thing to ever walk the Earth… wait I did not just write that, man I need to go to bed if that’s what I’m going to write.
Time Period unknown still
frame of mind~ emo~ again
I hate Seth but I have a feeling that I’ve said that before and I’m going to say it again. But it’s for a different reason today I woke up to him reading my journal he said he just finished the first entry, but I don’t believe him. He said I was being me when I told him that I don’t trust him… I told him to shut up. So now he is giving me the silent treatment YAY! Anyway I’m bored now there’s no one to bug and I still have no idea what time it is ~sigh~ my sleep pattern is thrown off because I don’t know what the time is. I’m going to find Seth…
or not I don’t feel like it anymore, I’ll just go to bed.”
“Okay we’ll stop right there and take a break for a while” Miss Charlotte said as she shut the journal
“NO!!!!!! Finnish it, Finnish it!” the class yelled together
“Are you sure?” at the looks she got from the children she sighed and opened the journal back to where they left off at...
I woke up to my door banging open making me jump up out of bed.
“ You think I’m the hottest thing that has ever walked the Earth? By the way what’s the Earth?” Seth said jumping onto my bed
“Um what are you talking about?” I asked while walking over to my closet
‘ Well let’s see in entry two it states and I quote ‘Even if he is the hottest thing to ever walk the Earth… wait I did not just write that, man I need to go to bed if that’s what I’m going to write’ now then what is Earth?” he innocently asked while I stare at him in horror.
“ WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE READING MY JOURNAL?” I screamed making him jump looking at me with wide eyes
“I-I-I’m sorry?” he said trepidatiously
“Your sorry? That’s all you have to say? You’re sorry.” I said as I walked into my closet and shut the door and started to look through the dresses I had in there when the door opened again
“Aren’t you going to ask me why I read your journal?” I heard Seth’s voice from behind me.
“Oh no you’re sorry that’s all that matters right?” I said in a to sweet voice
“right.”
I waited for him to say something else but when he didn’t I turned around and glared at him
“well....?”
“Well what you said that as long as I’m sorry it doesn’t matter” he said confused
“I was being sarcastic it does to matter you shouldn’t have read it why did you even think you could its not like the front of it said ‘anyone can read’ you know.”
he looked pathetic by the time I was done yelling at him his eyes big and glossy with unshed tears and his face paler then it normally is.
“I-I don’t know why I read it, it looked like a book at first be when I finished the first paragraph I couldn’t stop so I read the rest of the first entry, by the way you coming from the future explains a lot, anyway then you walked in the room and I had to stop reading but I couldn’t so when you went to be I took it that’s why I wasn’t talking to you because I knew I would end up telling you that was going to take it or something.” he looked so pitiful and he sounded generally sorry that he read my journal that I couldn’t help hugging him
“Its okay I guess I’m its not like it has my deepest darkest secret written down in it anyway.” I said smiling at him as I turned around to pick out a dress for the day.
“Out now I need to change.” I said as I picked up a green dress
“but cant I just watch?” I gasped and turned around only to see him grinning at me
“excuse me?”
“Can’t I just watch you get dressed?” he repeated his grin slipping a little bit.
I bent down and picked up a slipper
“ Hmmm can you watch me change?”
he nodded his and at me and I through the slipper at him, hitting him in the forehead
“oww what was that for I just asked if I could watch… SOPHIE PUT THE BOOK… NO DON’T …. OWWWW NO NOT THAT PUT IT….OKAY, OKAY I’LL LEAVE!!” Seth left but not after I through another slipper, book, hanger, and a painting from the wall. I nodded my head at the shut door and started to get dressed. five minutes later I was all dressed and looking for something to do when I spotted Seth talking to some guys across the rode luckily his back was turned so I just keep on walking ignoring them, it would have worked it if he hadn’t turned
“SOPHIE!!!! YOUR DONE CHANGING NOW RIGHT?” I heard him yell, I turned around slowly trying to think about what would happen if I killed him. I walked over to him and glared at him
“No I’m not. I’m just walking around in my night cloths.” I rolled my eyes at his wounded expression.
“You almost killed me trying to get me out of your room while you change just so you could go parading around the village in your night clothes?” I stared at him not believing that he just said that and then I heard the laughs. I looked over Seth’s shoulder and saw the guys laughing so hard their faces were red, when they finally stopped one of them put a hand on Seth’s shoulder
“Aw what’s the matter Seth trouble in paradise?” when he said that it was like Seth snapped out of a trance, for his eyes got big and he grabbed my hand and took me down an alleyway away from everyone else.
“Um Sophie can I ask you something?” he said the poor guy looked scared so I decided I would give him a strait answer with no sarcasm
“Okay.” he took a big breath
“ItoldeveryonethatIwascourtingyoupleasedon’tkillme.” I stared at him while he took another deep breath to calm himself.
“What?” he looked at me with pleading eyes then at the wall behind me.
“I said that I told everyone that I was courting you… your going to kill me now aren’t you?” I stared at him for a long moment then walked away from him, when he grabbed my wrist and turned me to face him a slapped him across the face and ripped my wrist from his hand. I ran, I didn’t care what would happen, but I ran through the back gates. Seth told me not to go through those gates he said that if you do something bad might happen and he was right not five minutes after I left something slammed into the back of my head.
I woke up to complete darkness and at first I thought everything that had happen was a dream and I was back at home in my own bed, but then if I was at home why does my head hurt? Did I hit it or something? It all can back to me in a flash I wasn’t at home nor was I in bed in the little apartment that I was given in the village, no I was somewhere else probably in a cave it was cold and rocky enough but then what am I up against it was warmer the what I was laying on and OH MY GOD IT MOVED!!
“Hmmm Sophie…” OH MY GOD IT SPEEKS what wasn’t that Seth’s voice. I turned around and sure enough it is Seth and he’s asleep
‘Awww he’s so cute when he’s not bugging me!’ wait is he’s asleep then why did he say my name? I moved closer to him and something around my waist tightened making it to where I couldn’t move any closer. I looked down and saw his arms around me, okay I’m confused just what happened?
“Oh good your up. How’s your head?” the voice made me jump and squeak in turn waking Seth up. We looked at each other for a second and Seth started to blush and mumbles an apology while he got up I tried to get up as well but my head felt that someone hit it with a giant rock. I laid back down and closed my eyes.
“Sophie are you okay they didn’t hit you too hard did they?” Seth kneeled down next to me “Sophie can you hear me?”
“Yes I can hear you, and what do you mean about someone hitting me to hard? my head hurts is that what your talking about?” I asked wincing as the pain increased the more I talked. I heard a sigh from somewhere to the right of me
“Your lucky she’s still alive that guy, if you could call it that, hit her with a metal club."
“I know I was there.” Seth answered in a growl
“Wait what? No you weren’t I ran away from you. You couldn’t have been there.” I said despite the pain I wanted to know. I opened my eyes to see Seth looking at me with sorrow filed eyes. When he noticed that I was looking at him he sighed and said
“Tshilaba can you give us a minute? I Need to tell Sophie something.” Tshilaba nodded her head and left the cave
“What is it Seth?” I asked when he didn’t start talking right away
“Sophie I’m not, I’m not human.”
“What do you mean not human?” hearing the panic in my voice he shut his eyes and leaned back
“I’m, I, my Father was pure blood elf and my mother is half vampire and half werewolf
they were king and queen of this land but my uncle, Glaurng Abaddon Ahriman Samael, was my mothers brother but he got jealous that she was queen, you see it was my mothers side that were of royalty and my father married in to the family so my mother got to be queen uncle tried many times to kill them and because of that he was banished but when I was eight he came back. I was visiting my fathers mother at the time. When I got back father and mother was dead and I was pronounced king making uncle even more ferrous so he came to kill me but you see I have the blood of three old powerful families in my veins so of course I was already more powerful than him. He couldn’t kill me so he sent me to that village to be raised no one knows that I’m to be king because my markings have an invisibility spell put on them that I cant take off.” He stops for a moment to take a breath and open his eyes that were once again filled with tears
“What are you going to do now?” I whisper
“I’m going to kill my uncle on my eighteenth birthday, in one month.” he said simply
