Fill in the Blank 2

Finally,night is approaching.The waning moon was appearing from behind the mist and the clouds in the indigo sky.I entered my room again from my balcony.Not bothering about the state of mess it was in,I went out the room and headed downstairs.I quickened my pace as I heard scratching of wood and slight whimpering.Smiling slightly,I took a detour into the kitchen and opened a can of sliced meat.I walked out and opened the room where all the scratching and whimpering was coming from.
'Hey baby,I know you're hungry."I turned the doorknob open and immediately something furry fled past me.
'Hey!Come back here,you little monster!The food's here...'I say in a singsong tone.
The little fluff ball walked cautiously towards me,sat right in front of me,gave a puppy-dog pout with the puppy-dog eyes and raised a paw.
'You smarty pants!You know I can't resist that look.Here,eat up.You'll need the energy for tonight.'I put the can on the ground and watch Tessie lap it all up in a matter of seconds.
I walk back to my room with Tessie at my heels,wagging her adorable fluffy tail.I opened my closet,pulled out an outfit I had reserved just for this night.

Reaching the driveway of the elaborate mansion owned by a distant relative,I noticed that there had to be at least 60 cars parked all over the lawn,the driveway and there were so many more cars outside the house parked by the roadside.All the cars were of course,no cheaper than a Bugatti Veyron would cost.
Entering the opened front doors of the 'house',I scanned my eyes around the room for any signs of my parents.Seeing the throng of people scattered all over the large hall,I doubted that I'd be able to find them within the next half an hour.Despite the large amount of people there,the noise was very minimal.The only sounds that could be heard were whispers moving around the room,the live band playing soft and soothing music and the occasional sneeze or cough.The place was decorated with draping silk falling from the high ceiling varying in colour and length.The enormous chandelier shone magnificently above everyone.The railings of the second floor were decorated with gold coloured ropes and shiny red jewels.
As my eyes swept across the corridors of the second floor,my attention was grabbed by the most beautiful girl I hd ever laid eyes on,and I've seen many beautiful girls throughout my 19 years of life.My breath got caught in my throat and I found it hard to breathe.
'Who is that?'I say softly to myself.

Desiree
Slipping on the emerald green dress,I'm slightly surprised it still fits.It's been ages since I've actually dressed up.I was actually a little nervous about being in a dress again.After the incident,my confidence in myself and my trust in other people just plummeted.

Desiree
The cold morning breeze passed by,caressing me like a loving and gentle hand.My long hair followed its chilly splendour,whipping about in its control.I looked out at the horizon of the calm glittery sea.Raising my hand to shield my eyes from the slight glare of the sun,I longed for the cloak of night to come again.

Erik
I stared up at the fullness of the shining orb in the star-encrusted sky.The sight of it never fails to leave me in wonder and awe.Smiling,a wave of relief just washed over me.I felt my stationary body enter a state of calm.
Suddenly,my attention was broken and it was diverted to the vibrating in my right jean pocket.I fumbled to get it our quickly.Glancing at the number on the screen,I gave a loud sigh.Mom.Saying a quick prayer that she wouldn't be angry,I answered it.
'Mom?'
'Where are you?' she exclaimed.'You told me you'd be back by 6!It's already 8:15!'
'Sorry mom.I just lost track of time.I wanted to call you,but I thought you'd already be at the dinner.'
'I've been trying to call you for the past 2 hours!Do you know how worried I've been?I didn't even know what to tell your father!'
'I'm really sorry,Mom.I'm on my way back right now.I'll see you in a while,okay?'
I quickly hung up before she could say another word.I got back on my bicycle and cycled back home as fast as I could.I left my bike in the garage and ran upstairs to my room to get a quick shower.There was a suit laid out on my bed,neatly pressed,not a crease in sight.
After showering,I threw on my clothes and rushed to my car.Putting the key into the ignition,I thought about how annoying my family could be.Every year,they just HAD to have some extravagant and complicated-not to mention unnecessary-event for the most nonsensical celebrations.Last year,they organised an event to celebrate the sixth full moon of the year.The most senseless thing about it was that about 500 of their 'closest friends' attended it.I just shook my head remembering the day.

Introduction

The sky was painted with a curtain of black.There were no twinkling of the night jewels as my fingers sped across the black keyboard.The only source of light in my bedroom was the glow of the computer screen,and the only sounds that could be heard were the soft hum of the CPU,the constant ticking of the clock,the flurry of keys being pressed on the keyboard and the occasional car passing my street.I was beginning to get frustrated;the thoughts in my head just weren't coming out right.The sentences in the confined box of my monitor screen seemed awkward,out of place.I ran my fingers through my almost shoulder-length hair and let out a huge sigh.I leaned back in my chair and stretched,my muscles sighing with relief.Glancing at the round,red wall clock,I was surprised to see that it was already past 3 a.m.I'd been typing non-stop for almost 4 hours.That's a new record,I thought.I walked into the small,cream-coloured ceramic-tiled toilet in my room and splashed some water on my face.I felt a slight shock as the icy cold water came in contact with my skin.As my gaze fell upon the reflection in the white-framed square mirror,I noticed there was a brown paper bag hanging on one of the multi-coloured clothes hook.That's odd,I don't remember seeing that before.I turned around to inspect the object that caught my attention.I reached out and took the bag off the hook.I sat on the toilet seat and peered into the bag.The walls of the brown bag were lined with a thin,tissue-like paper.As I put my hands in the bag to take out its contents,I felt my fingers grip on...........

What should 'I' take out of the bag?Something scary?Nice?Surprising?You decide,and I'll come up with the continuance of the story.=P

New Sight

The evening sunlight peeked through the leaves on the big tree outside the house,causing them to look translucently green.The red leaves looking like a fire,blazing through the day.Beauty beyond comparison.Things that have always been there,suddenly look brand new again.The scent of the air,tinged with a mild perfume of hope for the days to come.Gone is the awkwardness of not knowing where I'm headed,replaced with new determination for the road ahead.The breath that I didn't realise I was holding,finally released.I'm free to roam again,without any weights holding me down.The unquenchable desire to gain new experiences and touch new lives,grows even more to an alarming height.The roads are flooded with people,moving with time,accepting all that is given to them.Without questions,expecting no answers.I shall be the one to question,and I shall be the one in search of answers.

Hope:Never Changing.

In the dark;when no one's looking,
In the dark;when no one's listening,
I'm calling out to You.
Day and night;things look so different-
They're not,what they really seem,
But with You,my Lord and King,
You're never ever changing.

All around the world,
People sing Your praises.
All around the world,
People stand in awe of You;
Hoping for a lifetime,spent with You,
My everything.
Jesus,You have captured,
My heart and my soul.

Love Story

This is my own love story,
It reminds me of all I have for me.
This is my love story,
Starring only You and Me.

Nothing in the world can take this feeling away,
Nothing in the world can say we're not OK.
'Cause I am,now that I have You.

You alone are my Jesus,
You alone are my King,
You and I,we belong,
You and I,I do more than dream.

This is my own love story,
It tells me all I am is ME.
This is my love story,
It keeps me standing on my feet.

On the run again...where will it lead me to this time?

Running with all her might,she's trying to escape from the one enemy she can't tear herself apart from.The one she fears is one so close to her.One she knows so well,but can't defeat.The blurs of the buildings and people around her;they look so familiar yet somehow she couldn't piece them together.They try to reach out to her,desperately trying to bring her back from that unknown land.Contaminated with hatred and anger,filled with despair and brokenness.She wasn't letting herself go.She's holding herself down,stopping her from living her life.The fear of who she is;the person no one knows about.That person was constantly finding her way to the surface and attempts to take her place in a life that wasn't her own.Who was this person everyone once knew?Where had she gone?
I've been hiding from my own self all these years.So afraid of who I'd become,of who I would be in future.Will I be who everyone expects me to be,or will I be just plain and simple me?What more can they take from me?All that's left of me is this puppet,controlled by the ways of the world.I desperately try to break free,but the knots tied onto me are too tight.They're suffocating me,preventing me from being free.I'm going through the pathways of life,but it isn't me.I hear voices calling me.Telling me to stay strong.Strong?What is this word?It sounds so familiar,like a friend that was once so close to me,but got ripped away from me.Each step I take is getting smaller.As I stand on my feeble feet,I feel my body shaking.The helplessness is killing me.I hear laughter behind me.Unconsciously,I hear myself praying to God.Crying out for strength and hope.I turn,but before I can get a good look at the maniac who's keeping me prisoner,I see a bright light.My heart bursts with joy like never before.I never thought I'd actually see this day.
The beautiful trees around me.Tiny rays of sunlight peek through the leaves and branches.Small children are playing near a crystal clear pond.Their melodious laughter ringing in the air.I see beautiful houses decorated with flowers and painted with a shiny glow.The sun and moon both hung in the sky.Clouds and stars combined to form a beautiful curtain above the horizon.The grass below my feet are covered with tiny diamond dewdrops.A sweet scent hung in the air,leaving a peaceful and loving atmosphere all around me.All I felt like doing was singing,dancing with joy.I lifted my arms to feel the warmth of the air,the slight drizzle of rain,a gentle breeze playing with my hair.Everything felt so connected to one another.I've never felt so loved,and yet,the minute I stepped into this place,that's exactly what I felt.I see a man,standing under a tree,observing me and everything around me at the same time.The expression in His eyes,made me start to cry....
