To Be Scared.
Chapter 1


Scrambling along the street, the boy stumbled. Breathing harshly, he looked back the way he came his eyes widen with shock. Coughing, he jumped up again, searching for an escape route. Dashing down a side street, he slows down a little, not sure where to go or where not to go..

Crash. A not so distant noise of a door being smashed in reached the boy's ears. Crash. Again it sounded, closer and closer. A single tear fell down the boys cheek, and he silently knew that no-matter where he ran, he was trapped. Glancing around, he decided to make a break for the main gate, only 20 feet away.

Building up his courage, he tensed for the quick burst of speed he needed so desperately. As he toos off, an arm whiped out of a doorway and grabbed the boy, and pulled him into the shadows.

Staring around in the darkness, the boy's eyes began to become used to the darkness, and he saw an Enkidukai looking at him.
"Sorry about that kid, but I had to save someone...." the Enkidukai whispered, his eyes glancing outside.”The name's Mordred" Mordred muttered, a smile hovered around his mouth. Staring silently at Mordred, the boy opened his mouth to say something, but after not uttering a word, closed his mouth.

"Now.... we're going to have to find a way out of this place."



[to be scared... is one thing. but to for all hope to be lost is another thing all together.
here's the first installment. enjoy :) ]

You changed from past tense to present and back again several times.

"The names..." should the "The name's..." short for "The name is..."

"...were going ...." should be "...we're going..."

Oh god.... Finally. I was begining to get worried that the art of nitpicking was lost here.

Nice work though chair. Its kindof odd and a little short to really grab someones interest but good work none the less.
If I stand on the axis of the world will you mind if I say that the world revolves around me ?
