Notes to the People of the World Just a few things I thought I should say just to get it out there before anything bad happens...* All of these statements are my opinion and should not be taken to heart.* If it seems that I am missing something about your story please explain it to me, it is always good to understand a writer's thoughts on their story.* If it sounds like I hate you because of the things I write to you, I do not hate you. * Please do not lash out at me for the things I say that would make me sad. crying

Boogeyman!
As she walked through the darkness of the forest, she looked for a possible sign of a human life. Fearing the shadows that moved with the wind, she quickened her pace. After hours of walking she reached the outer edge of the forest, light she thought. The moon shined on her revealing her long black hair, pale ivory skin, devastating red eyes. She checked herself making sure her black dress had no dirt marks or tears. As she looked ahead in relief she thought I cant wait to get home. As she was about to take a step out she heard a rustle behind her, beginning to turn. Hands shot at her like a bullet, pulling her back inside as she screamed.
A month after, a girl woke, walked to the window. Opened it as she breathed in the fresh air. Quickly ran to her desk, gazed at herself as she brushed her hair with haste. Her aquatic blue eyes shined as daimonds, long blond hair, milky skin. She walked to her dresser and pulled out a blue dress, minutes later she walked downstairs listening to her mother sing to herself in the kitchen, preparing food. "Mom, Im going out!" she yelled as she walked out the door hearing her mom call out to her "Cassandra! Dont forget..nevermind". As she walked down the street, people said hello and good morning, as she waved. A boy waved his hand from afar as he walked, "Hey birthday girl!" He said as he got closer,"What you gonna wish for?" "For you to stay quiet and not mention this in school." she said as she looked at him, "I dont want to make a big deal." He nodded his head and they walked to school. Lunch came and she sat with her friends, different in every way. Leandra the sexy goth, Maybel the adorable cheerleader, Hanna the hot snob, Jake the muscular jock, her bestfriend and walking companion Theodore the cute nerd and ofcourse Cassandra the talented singer. "Did you hear?" Maybel said in enthusiam , "Another girl went missing. You shouldnt be going out at night either Cassandra" "Until I see a creeper, ill be going out." Cassandra said with a smile, "Besides nothing bad has happened to me yet." As they walked toward the exit, Maybel continued, "They say she was at the forest cause they found marks of someone being dragged back into it." Jake smiled as he said, "We should go investigate ourselves." Leandra quickly agreed as Hanna said "Im down." Theodore and Maybel smiled at Cassandra as she said "Ill meet you guys there." The sun began to set as Cassandra waited at the entrance of the forest, she looked in it as she got shiver. If they bail out ill kill em she thought. Minutes passed and no one came, she sat down as she heard a voice coming from inside the forest. As she turned her head she saw a shadow, skipping inside. Getting deeper into the forest. She got up and said with a chuckle "Very funny, how long have u been in here." As the figure stopped, Cassandra got closer. As her eyes adjusted to the darkness, fear shot in her like a bullet piercing her heart. She heard her friends calling from the entrance, are you theres and Heys, as she turned to look at them. Slowly turning to the girl that stood next to her, "Who are you?" Cassandra said in fear as the girl slowly turned. "Im your new best friend," she said as her bloody hand grabbed Cassandra's hand," You must come deeper to meet the others." "The others?" she asked as a tear was trying to escape. Her friend yelled for her, unable to see what she was doing. "The others trapped here." the girl said, "He keeps us in this forest to keep him company, he said he wanted another daughter." Tears ran down Cassandra's cheeks as she kicked the girl and began to run for the entrance. Yelling for help, her friends scared of what happen began to head in when children appeared in front of them blocking the way. "You cannot enter!" they said in unison, "He doesnt want you." They turn together and flew to Cassandra and dragged her deep into the forest. Her friends ran for help. Cassandra woke up in the center of the forest, looking around at the children playing. She got up began to play aswell, a dark figure came walking to her, tall and thin, he looked at her and said "Hello daughter." "Hi dad." She replied as continued to play.
Hours later a search party came to the forests,"Dont worry, well find your daughter." a man said to Cassandra's mother. They entered and searched for hours, until a man yelled "Hurry! Over here!" as everyone headed to the man, they reached a lake. The man shined his light into the water and at the bottom layed the children and Cassandra. Cassandra looked at the children and felt a familiar presence, her mothers image imprinted in her mind. As she walked towards a pathway, she looked behind and kept walking. Minutes passed as she saw the entrance, she ran. As she was close to the light, hands shot at her and dragged her back in...

"Clones"
No one in the civilization knows where they had originated from, everybody that lived there had no collection of other memories, of other places outside their world. Ayako's parents worked as inventors, creating the perfect tools to help make their lives easier. the natural resources in their world were limited, so they have to make do with what they had and learn to create more. Life-forms in their world were odd leg-less things that float about in the air. They provided food and clothing for them. There is a swamp, far from their civilization, dark and mysterious where the elders advise strongly against visiting it because strange things happened to those who go there and they never came back. Ayako always walked pass there during her walk home from school, she was tempted, very tempted to check it out. One day she walked pass it, it glowed a different color and it seems to be beckoning her forward. She couldn't hold back any longer, she walk to the edge of the swamp and leaned forward. Suddenly, a hand emerged and dragged her down...... * * * Opening her eyes, Ayako sat up and surveyed her surroundings, she seems to be in some kind of lab and there is this terrible howling around her, its everywhere. She scream in fright. "Hey its ok, its just the wind howling" said a deep booming voice. Ayako looked up and saw a man with a gigantic beard walking towards her. "W..Who are you? Where am I?" stuttered Ayako. "I am Kentaro, I rescued you from that crazed world. Now tell me why are you in there?" "What do you mean? That is my home, I have always lived there." "No wait, you are one of them?!" Kentaro exclaimed in disbelief. "I thought you were different, I thought you wasn't a clone." he continued. "What clone?" "Well you are about to.....Never mind, sit down, i will tell you everything." "It all started with...." Kentaro started, then he paused and looked at Ayako with a sorrowful expression. Clearing his throat, he started again. "It all started with our idea in invading Earth, you see, I am not human, I am an alien from planet Z. We didn't want to invade Earth, we had no choice, our planet is dying, we need a new planet. Earth seems like the best choice at that time until we found out humans lived on Earth. So we decided to start a project testing out how humans will survive under invasive conditions. The place where you came from is the project we started, we created a world with a scenario of Earth in an invasive state. We created you guys with the exact human traits and skills to monitor how you will survive with hundred percent accuracy. We were sure you clones will not be able to survive but you thrived, you formed a civilization, you were so similar to a human that you were able to reproduce. Before we know it, the project grew out of hand. So now we had aborted invasion and abandoned the project. Your world," he gestured to a crystal orb where the exact likeness of Ayako's world was secured by a metal structure, "will self-destruct in one minute." "No!" Ayako shrieked. "Why, why not let us live? My family, my friends, my entire life is there. We won't do anything to your race? Why not live in harmony?" "I can't do anything about it, its orders from headquarters. They were afraid that the clones will rebel against them. And if the self-destruct system was engaged it can't be reversed, I am so sorry. I shouldn't remove you from your home." Kentaro said. "But you have to help us, please Kentaro please!" "I am really sorry Ayako, its all too late now." A metallic voice rang out. "Self-destruct in 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1..." "Noooooo!" Right before her eyes, Ayako saw her home burst into bits and disappeared behind the smoke. She tried hard to get a glimpse of it even a little piece, but the smoke cleared and in the crystal orb nothing..... She felt a burning sensation in her legs, I am melting, she realized. Her entire life flashed before her. It had ended like this, everything she had achieved, and now, its all gone, including her. Ahead she saw Kentaro looking at her with a stricken expression. "I don't blame you Kentaro..." the last words she managed to utter before darkness engulfed her and everything faded into nothingness. All was quiet and in a corner, Kentaro was crying......
