Blaahh! I\'ve stopped writing.
I just can\'t seem to get back into it. I did begin writing chapter 4, but I gave up after a while because it just sounded wrong. I had (and still have) a major writer\'s block here, as always happens to my stories... I\'ve never finished one before, ever, because of this.
Darnit... well okay, here\'s what I did write.
4.
Moogie sat up quickly, her ears pricking up in alert. She had been sitting infront of the fireplace most of the day, having raided Draklar\'s pantry for food and drink, and had been gently drifting off into sleep when she heard a muffled noise somewhere outside the room. She listened for a long time, wondering if Draklar had come home. Perhaps she had even imagined it. Whatever it was, nobody seemed to be there now. Moogie curled up tightly on the fluffy rug and closed her eyes again.
The feline suddenly jumped up onto her feet as the living room door burst open with a heavy kick. Four people dressed in dark clothing and brandishing shortswords bolted into the room and headed straight for the terrified girl. Moogie backed up against a wall, trapped, as the intruders closed in.
The air outside was silent and cold. Darkness prevailed along every street and building, shunned only by dim street-lamps that lined each side of the wide, cobbled roads. Nighttime had long since put the city\'s inhabitants to sleep; a perfect opportunity for the group of kidnappers to carry an unconcious female to their waiting horse-driven cart without being seen. With their hostage secured, one of the masked people jumped into the driver seat while the others hopped into the back. With the crack of a whip, the horse gallopped down the road and out of the city gates, disappearing into the darkness. However, a lone figure had silently witnessed the entire scene hiding in an alleyway nearby, completely concealed by shadow. Stepping out into the open street, the cloaked man hurridly approached his steed.
Moogie awoke to a dull pain in her head. She slowly opened her eyes to a dimly lit cavern, a yellow shadow flickering across the jagged walls to her side. She tilted her head and saw a campfire there, aswell as several unknown figures feasting themselves on the meat that was roasting on a spit above the hot flame. One of them, an Enkidukai like herself, noticed that Moogie had regained conciousness, and got up to approach her.
End so far[/I]
That\'s all I have... it has too much detail at first and ends up sounding awkward. Then I had trouble with the shadowy figure as he was a late addition to the plot and I wasn\'t really expecting to change my ideas so soon. Now I\'m stuck on who exactly these kidnappers are... there\'s several possibilities, but I have to decide which direction the story is going in before I can risk commiting any more of the story to this thread.
Still I hope that quenches the need for updates, at least for a little while... I\'ll try to write more, I really will!
(Btw it\'s really nice to see people actually wanting to read it.
