Lightning was fast asleep in his dirt and rock den when a deep rumbling woke him up. He hopped on his paws immediately and dashed to the entrance, listening to the earth as it shook in obvious discomfort. He looked up and saw rocks falling from a nearby cave onto several rattlesnakes and fear flashed through his mind. He leapt back into the burrow and shook his son Willow awake. He hissed urgently to his son “Get up Willow! Come on!”
Willow suddenly jumped up on his haunches and asked “What is going on!?!”
Lightning answered with “Get out! Earthquake! Run!” before dashing towards the exit. As the duo raced out of the burrow that had been their home for so long, Lightning paused for a few

Willow shrieked with pain and tried to kick off the rocks with his powerful hind legs. Lightning raced toward Willow, keeping desperately to keep him alive and get the rocks off of him as well. The two rabbits held tightly onto each other and only then was it that Lightning look back and see this - the gem from before was now aflame, with a piercing blue …show more content…
I think that you should greet your new responsibility with joy.”
Dust managed to stutter, “Th-thank you so much!”
Alpha smiled warmly and said, “The pleasure is mine.”
“Now, we howl!”
As Dust howled along with the members of his pack for the first time, he saw images flashing across his brain that made no sense: strange symbols, weird metal moving objects in the sky, and finally a pair of electric blue eyes staring him down. Dust abruptly stopped howling and rolled around, whimpering.
“Hey Dust are you alright?” called out Cactus from the opposite of the crater.
Dust finally got control over his shaking body and screamed “Th-the shadows… they’re coming for us!” before conscience fled and he blacked out.

Immediately she was up and leaped at the hawk, claws tearing the hawk’s wing as it scratched its side. The hawk swerved around and snapped its hard, cruel beak at her rigid

    The Fiery Trial Summary

    • 366 Words
    • 2 Pages

    The Fiery Trial by Eric Foner is a great read that brings to light many of the messy issues and problems regarding slavery before and during the Civil War. The author specifically discusses Abraham Lincoln and the changing of his views over time. The Fiery Trial has humanized Abraham Lincoln for me and I am able to more clearly understand the motives for the Civil War. I found that the book did a fantastic job of thoroughly describing Lincoln’s opinions and views and explaining why he felt the way that he did. While reading the book it is easy to see that the author has spent a tremendous amount of time researching Lincoln.…

    William sighed happily at the solitude he greatly enjoyed in the mindscape. He quietly hummed to himself. Ever since his brother was busy tormenting some new puppet of his named Dipper Pines, (or as he called him, Pinetree) it has been quiet. The silence never tore into him. In fact, talking tore into the young demon more than the silence. His thoughts were interrupted by black void surrounding him. He looks around, startled. He had no idea what was going on and this had never happened before. He saw a flash of pale yellow light, almost white and felt himself being pulled towards it. He heard voices the more he was pulled.…

    The crack of gunfire in the defining darkness drew him from his sleep. He silently awakened his raw-boned family. Sitting up and listening to the pandemonium which lay outside of the windowless skyscraper. The fire danced around creating demonic shadows upon the walls and across their gaunt faces. The man held his wife’s only hand as they rolled back to their sleep. The lemon soured light beamed throughout the city resting like a gargantuan beast, overpowering the horizon. The Dilapidated buildings, the burning city, a destroyed world. Once again he was first to rise.…

    Something flew by her. This time, she definitely knew it was a bird, a crow or raven of sort but bigger. Glancing around, Annabeth didn’t see anything but knew that something was there. Another black bird like creature flashed by her face. It left a long scratch down her face. Long but thankfully not very deep or bad. It reminded her of the time she had gotten a paper cut at school, but a lot longer. She looked down at her braclet. A shield, a flashlight, a knife. A shield would might work. Her hand fingered over the red ruby. As the black creature flashed by her face again, she pressed down on it. The eight petal like blades spun out and formed a shield. She heard an unnatural cry and a thunk as the creature hit the shield and fell to the ground. Annabeth slowly and carefully pressed the ruby again. Dismantling the shield back into the silver snake wrapping around her wrist. When she looked down, she saw a bat. Wait a bat? She thought. It was thrashing around on it’s back, as if the creature had lost sense of…

    Suddenly, his mouth opens and you see his teeth, like knife points. He tips his head back to let out a spine-tingling howl. You stay, frozen by his voice, yet still not afraid of the predator in front of you. The sound of thunder rings out and he yelps, falling to the ground. All is silent, even the wind. Crimson coats the stiff powder and you are in disbelief. Two men step from their hiding spots, looking like abominable snowmen in their white, puffy suits. One nods to you, as if he is some kind of savior, but you ponder to yourself, questioning: which creature really needs a savior?…
