Ah wow very nicely done, i like it very much. but (in my opinion) i wouldnt call it much of a horror story, its more of an adventure/questy type thing. but still very good

Okay, note that this also may be part of my book series that I'm writing. XD Anyway, here's the story. XD:


                            The shrieks and battle cries of the many waverns pierced through the thin, night sky as Timber Wolf stood there, heat pulsing from the stone ground as he stood there. "How did I ever get myself into this mess?" , he thought angrily, "I should not have brought myself to this living hell." Timber had then pushed farther back into his memory, remembering the main reason for why he had come here...

                            Storm clouds had filled the sky, as Timber watched the many dark, shadowy waverns and ravens, flying away into the cloudy sky. Timber's muscles were still tensed after his last fight with the shadows, and still felt as though the shadows had not yet been defeated. Feeling as though something had gone terribly wrong, Timber then began to run through the forest, running back to the Kingdom of Avalon.

                            It had taken a few minutes before Timber reached the castle of Avalon, only to find many, many of the wolf knights and peasants of Avalon standing there in pure horror, the many shocked, and worried chatter that filled the kingdom. "What's going on?", Timber asked one of the knights. "How could you have missed it?!", the knight replied, still angry about what must've gone wrong, "The shadows have stolen the Spell Book of Avalon, and now we're in a load of trouble!" Timber looked around at the many shocked and angry wolves, looking for Lightningstar, whom of which was both one of his closest friends, and royalty of Avalon.

                            When Timber caught sight of Lightningstar, a white, winged wolf with a moon crescent necklace worn upon her neck, Lightningstar had stood in front of the crowd. "Listen here!", Lightningstar howled, her voice loud and clear among that of the crowd's, and the other wolves had soon fell silent. "We can't just stand here and rant about this all day, if we don't take action soon, darkness can fall upon Avalon! Someone needs to go the shadow's lair and fetch that Spell Book before all hell brakes loose! Who will join me, and finally rebel upon the shadows?"

                             A soft murmur of voices fell upon the castle, as the wolves then seemed to be discussing about something, until Timber stepped to the front of the crowd and said, "I'll go." Many of the wolves gasped at Timber's offer to volunteer, as he was only an apprentice, not yet a knight. "If Timber is going," Lightningstar said, "Then I'm going too." As Timber and Lightningstar then began to walk out of the castle, they were only stopped by Moonshade, Lightningstar's mother. "Lightningstar," Moonshade said quickly yet worriedly, "I'm not going to loose you again, you better stay here." "Look Mum, it's either let darkness take over Avalon, or we fight to defend Avalon. It's now or never.", Lightningstar replied, yet not wanting to cause an argument.

                            Moonshade sighed at this, and pondered for a moment, as if she were thinking it through, then said, "Fine, you two can go. But Timber, promise that you will bring Lightningstar home safely." "I will, Moonshade.", Timber replied, as he then licked the bottom of Moonshade's muzzle. "Good lad," Moonshade said, smiling at this, "I wish you both luck." Lightningstar smiled and and bid her mother farewell, as both she and Timber then raced out of the castle, and to the borders of Avalon.

. . .

                          "No," Timber thought, snapping back into reality, "I must not give up on this journey. For Flower, for Lightningstar, for all of Avalon!" Timber then raced deeper into the living hell, sudden energy and determination pulsing through him, as he went on to fetch the missing Spell Book of Avalon.
