ok i was just cleaning out my school shelf and found an old story i wrote in like 5th grade! it is 4 chapters long, so i'll keep working on it. meanwhile, i'll also be posting new chapters of "celtic chaos" each week. ok here is chapter 1! enjoy!!:)
chapter 1
stardust, a 15-year-old girl, grumbled as she was, once again, grounded, this time for stealing a purple lotus from a local electronics store. a few months ago if she'd done this sort of thing, before her parents became christians, she might have gotten away with just a scolding. "stardust!" her younger twin sisters, moondance and moonbeam whisper-shouted. they were 8 years old, with misty gray eyes and silvery blonde hair. "what are you two doing out of bed?" stardust asked, her voice softening. the girls glanced at each other."we wanted to say good night to you." they both said at once. "okay. well you should get back in bed now." stardust whispered. the twins scampered back to bed.
the next day at school, stardust rushed through her classes. she paused on her way past the teacher's desk after math. she stunk at math and they had a big test next friday. she glanced out in the hallway, but it was clear of teachers. then she rummaged through the stacks of paper on mr.phillip's desk until she found what she was looking for. she shoved it in her binder and hurried to lunch.

chapter 1
hi everyone! im raylynne mcCrady. i just wanted to tell this hysterical story about my family.
i was trying to write a story for this contest, when...
"raylynne!" my mom, kellyanne, marched into my room at top speed. "lynne, your innana is on her way! from IRELAND! we have to clean this house! find your sisters and lets move MOVE MOVE!!!!!"(innana is gramma). she raced out of my room. now, you have to understand, my gramma is like OCD about dust. if there's a single speck of dust ANYWHERE in our house, you can trust innana to find it. i scurried out of my room and promptly bumped into two of my older sisters, selene and arlette. i asked what they were doing and they said mom told them to dust all of the ceiling fans (which i had dusted already), color coordinate the pencils, then alphabetize and categorize the recycling cans in the pantry! i gulped then headed downstairs to get my instructions from mom...

ok here is chapter 2!!!!!
chapter 2
Dawn
the wind was howling through the trees. the leaves rattled like thousands of voices crying out at the cold. Dawn shivered and tried not to feel the icy chill creeping down her spine. she ran as fast as she could through the frozen heather to a small cottage glowing with light through the sleet. the gray cottage, sunken deeply in soft earth, had stood there as long as dawn could remember. she burst inside, slamming the door behind her. "dawn, is that you?" her mother called from a back room. dawn sighed and trudged back outside to get another bucketful of water for her chores.

ok here it is!!!
chapter 1
Bree
The waves crashed on the Irish sea cliffs far below where Bree was standing. She turned her head slightly to the left, and out of the corner of her eye she could see arawen, her snow white horse running free through the patch of shamrocks. As Bree watched, arawen jumped over a fallen tree with graceful ease, like a deer jumping over a brook. She smiled. As she turned back to the cliffs, Bree heard the sounds of distant thunder. Across the sea, she could just barely see Cathay's sister island, a green jewel in the midst of a stormy gray sea. A white seagull swooped out across the bay, disappearing in the distance as the evening mists moved in and the sun dipped low behind the oncoming storm clouds.
