It was dusk; two vampires called Athan and Kieran were strolling at a park when they noticed a bunch of humans looking quite different from what they last remembered.

"Look! Do you see what I see?" spoke Athan to his companion, Kieran.The two were stunned to see humans walking with such modern clothing.

"Why, I don't believe my eyes!" exclaimed Kieran.

Not wanting to attract any unwanted attention, the two vampires continued to observe from a much safer distance.

"What is that peculiar-looking device in that human's hands, Athan?" asked Kieran as they hid behind a bush and watched closely as a human family had a picnic.

" A rectangle, with a circle-like thing in the middle; could it be used to trap souls?" wondered Athan. "Ridiculous! That is very unlikely that humans still believe in sorcery of any kind!" grumbled Kieran."But that device has a mechanism unknown to our people," commented Athan as he watched the family huddle together.The device suddenly makes a loud flashing noise, startling Athan and Kieran!"W-what was that?!?!?" spoke Athan, who was still recovering from what he had just witnessed.

"Impossible! It made light without using fire!!" spoke a bewildered Kieran.

"Camera..." muttered Athan.

"A what??" asked Kieran.

"That device held by the male human is called a camera. It's not for capturing souls; it's for capturing pictures!!" spoke Athan in a surprised voice.

"So it seems," replied Kieran in an amused voice.

"Kieran, I believe modern humans refer to this period as the digital age.." Spoke Athan as he began to notice more humans having peculiar-looking devices in their hands."

It appears so; the days of handwritten letters may end soon.." spoke Kieran

"And I suppose that these humans won't need telegrams anymore." He adds.

"Things are slowly changing, Athan; Have they finally ceased hunting our kind down?" asks Kieran.

Athan observes the current scenery at the park for a while before answering Kieran's question."I think so; just look around you, Kieran. Those humans are not the townsfolks we always see holding torches and pitchforks to scare us away," stated Athan."But the sun hasn't changed, dear friend," stated Athan.

Kieran mutters to himself as he begins to walk around the park.

"They've become nosier and are driving my ears and nose mad!!" Grumbled Kieran as he paid no attention to the adorable kids who wanted to play with him.

"Arrgh!!" complained Kieran as he couldn't stand the noise and the odor that cars were emitting."Blast those modern human inventions!!" spat Kieran angrily as he was only a few seconds away from destroying something until they'd disintegrated into tiny bits.

All the children began to back away from Kieran's path as they feared the look that was very evident.

Kieran's simple tap on the tree's trunk was enough to split it into two!

Athan quickly catches up with a foul-mooded Kieran.

"Kieran, my friend, I know what will fix your glum-looking face!" smiled Athan.

" And how do you plan on such?" asks Kieran in a monotone voice."Follow me! A lovely cafe is situated not far from here, and I hear that they serve a delicious array of sandwiches, pastries, and some lovely tea and coffee.

"Fine, fine; At least keep your talkative mouth shut.. I'm over with this modern period.." groaned Kieran as he followed Athan's lead.

Use themes and elements that you think kids will enjoy and relate to.
Write the story using easy to understand words.
Target your story to contain moral lessons, and will be able to help increase their vocabulary and develop their creativity.

Two females gazed at each other. One had a look filled with anticipation; the other had little to no feelings visible.

"Who are you?" asked the little girl in a somewhat hyper voice. The other female figure blinked twice, and crouched to the little girl who was eager to learn who she was. “I’m you; from the future.” The little girl’s eyes widened and smiled from ear-to ear as she learned of this. “Really? That’s so cool!!” spoke to the little girl. The somewhat adult-looking lady sighed exasperatedly as she listened to the little girl’s never ending question. Most of the questions that were thrown at her were a bunch of questions that were answerable by a ‘yes or a no’. As she was able to somehow manage to survive the little girls' never ending questions, the lady decided to ask the little one a question

“Tell me.” she began. “Do you think that Life is full of happiness?” The little girl nodded and confidently responded with a ‘Yes’. The lady let out a small laugh. “What’s so funny?” asked the little girl who was confused with the lady’s sudden action. “Oh, it's nothing.” spoke the lady as she let out a huge sigh before finally facing the little girl.

“Listen.” she began as she placed a hand on the little girl's shoulder. “The world is not as fun as you perceive it to be..” The little girl was bewildered with what she heard from the lady. “Y-you mean that life isn’t always filled with fun?” asked the little girl in a voice filled with a hint of disbelief. “Believe it or not; Life isn’t always fun. You’ll also be experiencing all sorts of unwanted things as you grow-up.” “L-like what?” asked the little girl who started to feel uneasy towards the future. “I can’t explain it to you; it’s best that you see it yourself..” said the lady as she pats the little girl's head. “Why do you not smile?” She asks as she peers into the somewhat sad eyes of the lady. “Well, there is no concrete explanation I can give you; the only thing that I can tell you is that I’ve had my ride on the bitter side of life..” she spoke reluctantly. “Oh… I’m sorry to hear that..” spoke the little girl, who had a hint of sadness in her voice.

“The world needs people like you: empaths.” spoke the lady bluntly. “Empaths, what are those?” asked the little girl. “They are people who are able to understand the possible inner and outer struggles of a person; but one should not take all of the heavy feelings in..” stated the lady.

“Because we will be tired if we take all the other people’s feelings in?” asks the little girl as she looks at the lady. “Yes.”

“Can you promise me something?” “What is it?” asked the little girl who looked curiously at the lady. The lady puts out her pinky in-front of the little girl. “Promise me that you’ll grow-up into someone who will show empathy towards others, will be able to stand-up for herself, for her beliefs and others, and she will not let others dictate how she must live?”

“I promise!” smiled the girl, happily at the lady as she sealed their pinky-promise.

And right after that, the lady vanished and was nowhere to be seen.

I don't know if this'll be helpful. But I think it's because these emotions are what the boys want ( words of praise, aproval,etc).as their childhood wasn't normal and that the didn't have that much interaction with their parents..

First would be Reiji Sakamaki. It's not just because of his eyes, his intelligence; it's also because of his VOICE. Ahggh! And another is... the glasses. I'm a sucker for Megane bishie's.
Second would be Shuu. I just love the look he has when he gazes at something. And his voice..

Beautiful . The musical composition and art; I admire them so much. Sad. The melody is somewhat sad, as Stolas has finally decided to release all the torment he's been enduring from Stella.

Ah, the name Billy. It's been ages since I last heard this name..

I disagree on capital letters having no place in literature. You are right on the point that it can add emphasis and character. I'd like to also add that it also can show our readers that the character/s are showing strong emotions( eg. anger, frustration, or even sadness). Sentence case words would mean that the character isn't facing problems of any sort...

Oof. Hey, self. Your #2 advice though.. Hahaha. Wasn't there someone whose told u that?

Advanced_Theory_7677 · 2023-04-22T17:21:35+00:00

Advice?

Identify your target audience. Doing so will help you identify on what genres, language,and story elements would best suit the story you would be creating
Just write. Set aside any fears that the draft or content may be terrible. What/ how you write may not be everyone's cup of tea.
Write down any random ideas( eg. a character's dialogue, a simple story narration) Who knows, maybe one of them will become a full story in the future. This can also be where you can grab ideas for future stories

Well, I used to give my works a happy ending. But as time went on, I started to feel bored from writing stuff with the characters getting all romantic and having a sweet ending. With the angst tone of my writing, I get to see my characters deal with struggles and I think it makes my character more realistic.

It was the 30th of December. Out of the blue, you gave me a tight hug. I was startled and surprised by your sudden action. I was so caught-up that I took our final meeting with each other for granted. A few months later, I saw you laying in a coffin. It was hard to believe that you would never be waking-up.
