She ran deep into the forest while branches heaved with thorns tore at her skin and clothing. She wouldn’t stop running for anything, for she wanted to get as far away from Kelentra as possible. She quivered to think about all the secrets that small town held. The secretes that had killed so many. So many including Kathryn’s friend Gaby. True, Gaby had been a pixie; nevertheless, Amanda wished for no creature to have to die. She had held the biggest secret of them all, she had killed her lover. She now regretted that sin more than any ever could. She found a small bolder to rest herself upon, she sat, but quickly jumped up, for the stone was quite hot. She looked at it carefully, examining every part of it. She finally found a small hole, amazingly, her ring fit perfectly. She took off her ring and placed it in the hole. Elfish words appeared in the stone, they appeared to be burnt in, but were quite cool. She read them carefully, but did not understand. It was a letter, to her, from Josh. She heard knights coming toward her. She copied the message, took her ring, and ran. She ran back toward the town of Kelentra, but stopped, for the secrets of the place haunted her memory like a thousand bad dreams. She closed her eyes tight, trying to erase the bad memories, yet they stayed in her mind. She sat down and wept, she missed Josh so much that she could not look at anything without seeing his face, or feeling his presence.

Well now, that is truly creative writing. Excellent.

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.
