Chapter 1 part 2

All I could do was move my head so I bent it towards my body to see where I was. What I saw almost turned my stomach upside down. I was nailed down to a wooden board from my hands and legs. My eyes widened in shock. It wasn't pleasant to see myself in that condition. I gasped in surprise for the fact that none of my wounds hurt. I would have vomited at the sight of my nailsed limbs, but for some reason i did not feel disgusted.

“Arianna Robinson, Daughter of Robert Robinson and Mary Robinson, Sister of William Robinson. Age seventeen, black hair, blue eyes disappeared three days ago in the forest while searching for flowers. Am I right?” A cold smooth voice asked then added "though i can say that your eye colour has since then changed"

I was surprised but didn’t show it. Slowly I willed my head to move towards the direction where the voice came from.

Two men towered above me. The one closer to me was almost twice as tall as me. Also he looked as if he was fully comprised of large muscles. He wore a mask of black cloth, his chest was bare and he wore short black trousers. I instantly recognized him to be one of the guards or executioners of wherever I was in. I struggled to see who was behind this bulky executioner, but all I could manage to see was a slim hand covered with a black sleek cloth mostly worn by lawyers holding a something that looked like an old book with a picture of a skull on its cover.

“You are most likely a newborn, the master might let you live when he sees you, that is if you cooperate with us” The same voice said.

“Show yourself if you dare” I spat and then restrained myself from snarling.

I was clearly surprised by my sudden boldness. Considering the way I would act in normal circumstances this was certainly very bold. A muffled laugh reached my ears, instantly I knew it would be too soft for the human ear to hear.

“You are in no position to give orders” said the man, a hint of amusement in his voice.

Angered by this, I struggled to restrain myself from screaming at the top of my voice.

“What do you want?” I asked finally after a few moments of silence.

“We simply need you to help us… restrain more of your kind... with your help that is.” Replied the man, he was clearly satisfied with himself from my sudden cooperativeness.

I thought for a while. Would I choose to help these… humans or help my own kind, the same kind who had captured me, turned me and left me for dead? But there were more like me, more innocent souls who would get imprisoned in this god forsaken prison to rot for eternity.

No, I wouldn't let that happen, I wouldn't let them be captured like me.

“What’s in it for me?” I asked almost whispering this time

"If you cooperate according to our wishes then we will... let you go free." I felt his hesitation as he replied quickly.

The slight curving of his tone to a higher pitch told me that he was clearly lying even though he tried to look firm enough to convince.

Maybe this isn’t that bad after all.

“No” I whispered loud enough for both of the men to hear.

The larger man who had not moved or spoken since I awoke smiled in satisfaction and said “I told you so. These bloodsuckers are all the same.”

The man behind him sighed, “I guess your right. Go ahead then,” said the man his voice suddenly filled with evil encouragement.

“My pleasure,” said the large man his voice hoarse and rough.

The large man took one step towards me and then removed my arms from the nails by pulling them out. I screamed in agony as the pain suddenly shot up my hands through my body. The throbbing subsided soon and was replaced by a burning sensation which was in turn replaced by a cool feeling. I smiled to myself as I looked at my healed hands with only blood to prove there had once been wounds there. I tried to struggle but was too weak. The man removed my legs from the nails and I felt the same throbbing and cool sensation yet again. Then to my sheer horror he turned me around with ease and pushed hands back onto the nails. The pain was twice as painful as before. I yelped as my body struggled to remove the torture. Blood from my hands poured down the table as my injuries bled. My bare legs suffered the same agony. Tears came into my eyes and I started crying, But to my relief my injuries healed after a few minutes of pain.

"Bloodsuckers have the extraordinary power to heal their wounds even without them wanting it. But there are things that even the dead cannot heal. One of these things are the rare Werewolf saliva. The saliva is almost harmless to humans but lethal to your kind. It burns the skin and prevents your blood from healing the wounds. So we have found an effective way of using this liquid other than just throwing it away. Observe,” The cold even voice suggested that it was the smaller man speaking..

I turned my head as far as possible. I saw the executioner pour a liquid onto a long black whip. Once the liquid was finished he let go of the beaker which fell onto the floor and clattered to a stop. I turned my head and waited to see if what the man had said was true. The minute I managed to turn around the whip met its mark, my back. Luckily I had my shirt on, the same shirt I had stole from the Vampires I had escaped from. It managed to restrict the blows of the whip to some extent. But to my misfortune, the smaller man realized this to.

“Stop,” he commanded

The executioner, clearly puzzled by this command stopped. I heard the small mans footsteps echo through the room as he approached me. He cut the back of my shirt with something sharp until I was bare-chested. Although I was nailed to the desk, I still blushed in embarrassment.

“What soft skin you have” he said gently tracing my spinal cord with his fingers sending a chill through my body.

He did this several times, but then after a few minutes he withdrew his hands and said “Continue” to the executioner who didn’t seem disturbed by my anguish.

The whipping started again. The agony of each whip increased twofold each time he whipped me. The pain didn’t subside like it did with the nails, and I smelled my skin burning. I screamed, cursed, screamed again until my jaws started to hurt. Tears poured out of my eyes at every strike. They burned like my back. After a few minutes of unbearable pain, my legs went limp, followed by the rest of my body. I felt like passing out but the pain kept me awake.

The executioner on the other hand kept up his whipping as if he was having fun by doing his inhuman work. I could hear him sometimes laughing slightly. He seemed to be playing a game; after the first few whips the executioner tried to hit the open wound yet again and again. It was sick to know that he was actually enjoying torturing me. He succeeded from time to time making me scream and cry at the same time. Finally after an hour that seemed like eternity to me, the executioner stopped and removed my hands and legs from the nails. I felt nothing,but the agony of the burns. My body was past its limit now, and I wouldn’t even notice if someone cut me to little pieces. I was numb like a stone and the thought of being disgusted of my state crossed my mind. I was lifted off the torture table and onto the floor.My body was all a wound. I noticed that the smaller man was not to be seen. He then removed the shreds of my shirt. I tried to stop him, my hands shooting up in an automatic reflex, but he easily brushed them off. I tried to struggle but my body was too weak so I leaned against the nearest wall embarrassed, afraid, and angry. Once my shredded and torn shirt was on the floor he lifted my hands and put on another shirt clearly made for male prisoners only. The shirt was a little too big for me. It was made of brown harsh linen cloth that made the pain from my back even more agonizing. The smell of cheap launder was strong enough to make me sick. I was then pulled through the numerous halls by my legs.

Now I know what a broom feels like.

The ground was extremely hard and barely smooth. My head kept banging on the stones of the uneven floor. The executioner stopped in front of a large prison and then lifted me off the ground. He then opened the cage a little barely enough for me to enter and threw me into the prison. The first thing I saw was three pairs of bloodthirsty eyes.The next thing I felt was my face hitting the ground. I took a breath of dust and started to cough painfully. I gave up trying to keep my conscience.

Well what do you think?? Rolling Eyes Rolling Eyes

By the way this is the first tie I'm writing a book with the main character being a girl so if anyone finds out errors about how she would feel at that time, point them out.

Okay, you have some grammatical issues here, but those can easily be sorted out. Try proof-reading your work, or reading it out loud to yourself. The only other thing I found was that you used the word "Pain" too much. Try some variation, like "agony" for example. Good luck!

hey you critique my story so much I figured it was time I returned the favor. I read part one just so I know what is going on

Comments in RED/ITALICS (whatever format works)

I'm also apologizing in advance if the format comes out wrong!

Chapter 1 part 2

I woke up and tried to stand, but something held me back. All I could do was move my head. I bent my head towards my body to see where I was, what I saw was not pleasant. I was nailed down to a wooden board from my hands and legs. My eyes widened in shock and then I gasped in surprise for the fact that none of my wounds hurt.

-Ok in the second and third sentence it feels repetitive saying head twice. Try combining the two sentences or something like that. Try this:
All I could do was move my head so I bent it towards my body to see where I was. What I saw was not pleasent.
-This ways it still flows, but you only have to say head once


“Arianna Robinson, Daughter of Robert Robinson and Mary Robinson, Sister of William Robinson. Age seventeen, black hair, blue eyes disappeared three days ago in the forest while searching for flowers. Am I right?” A cold smooth voice asked.

I was surprised but didn’t show it. Slowly I willed my head to move towards the direction where the sound came from.

Two men towered above me. The one closer to me was almost twice as tall as me. Also he looked as if he was fully comprised of large muscles. He wore a mask of black cloth, his chest was bare and he wore short black trousers. I instantly recognized him to be one of the guards or executioners of where ever I was in.

“You are most likely a newborn, the master might let you live when he sees you. That is if you cooperate with us” The same voice said.

I was clearly surprised by my sudden boldness. Considering the way I would act in normal circumstances this was certainly very bold. I heard a muffled laugh, the instant I did I knew it would be too soft for the human ear to hear.

“You are in no position to give orders” said the man, a hint of amusement in his voice.

I was angered by this and struggled to restrain myself from screaming at the top of my voice.

“What do you want?” I asked finally after a few minutes of silence.

-I was anger by this and struggled... The wording seems awkward. Maybe try: Angered by this, I struggled ...

“We simply need you to help us… restrain a more of your kind with your help.” Replied the man, he was clearly satisfied with himself from my sudden cooperativeness.

-take out 'a'. Plus I believe it should be "...with you help," replied the man. He was clearly...

I thought for a while. Would I choose to help these… humans or help my own kind, the same kind who had captured me, turned me and left me for dead? But there were more like me, m innocent souls who would get imprisoned in this god forsaken prison to rot for eternity.

-is the 'm' suppose to be 'more'

No, I won’t let that happen. I wont let them be captured like me.

“What’s in it for me” I asked almost whispering this time

“We will let you go free” Replied the voice instantly as if waiting for me to ask him the question.
Although his voice seemed firm I could tell from the slight curving of his voice to a higher pitch that he was clearly lying. I smiled to myself at how sharp my sense of hearing was.

-once again with the quotes I thinks it "...go free," replied the voice...
Also in the sentence beginning with although you used voice twice. Um-maybe change the second 'voice' to tone


Maybe this isn’t that bad after all

“No” I whispered loud enough for both of the men to hear.

The larger man who had not moved or spoken since I awoke smiled in satisfaction and said “I told you so. These bloodsuckers are all the same.”

The man behind him sighed.

-I feel like I'm there!!!!

“I guess your right. Go ahead then” said the man his voice suddenly filled with evil encouragement.

“My pleasure” said the large man his voice hoarse and rough.

The large man took one step towards me and then removed my arms from the nails by pulling them out. I screamed in pain as the pain suddenly shot up my hands through my body. The pain subsided soon and was replaced by a burning sensation which was in turn replaced by a cool felling. I looked at my hands and smiled to myself at the sight of healed hands with only my blood as proof for the wounds that were once on my hands. I tried to struggle but I was too weak. The man removed my legs from the nails and I felt the same pain and cool sensation yet again. Then to my sheer horror he turned me around with ease and pushed my hands back onto the nails. The pain was twice as painful as before. Blood from my hands poured down the table as my hands bled. My bare legs suffered the same pain. But to my relief my hands and legs healed after a few minutes of pain.

-wow in this paragraph you used hands alot and I think as someone pointed out you can you agony as a synonym for pain

‘Bloodsuckers have the extraordinary power to heal their wounds even without them wanting it. But there are things that even the dead cannot heal. One of theses tings are the rare Werewolf saliva. The saliva is almost harmless to humans but lethal to your kind. It burns the skin and prevents your blood from healing the wounds. So we have found an effective way of using this liquid other than just throwing it away. Observe” Said the smaller man, still unseen to me.

He did this several times, but then after a few minutes he withdrew his hands and said “Continue” to the executioner who didn’t seem disturbed by his doing.

-seem to disturbed by his doing ...the by his doing sounds a little awkward. I know what your trying to say but I don't think this is the way to say it

The whipping started again. The pain of each whip increased twofold [each time he whipped me again]. The pain didn’t subside like it did with the nails and I smelt my skin burning. Tears poured out of my eyes as a cried or tried to cry due to the pain. After a few minutes of unbearable pain, my legs went limp, followed by the rest of my body. Though my body was already limp I could still feel the pain and burning on my back.

-ok 1) take out the each time he whipped me again -you already said he started whipping you again the sentence before 2) your being repetitive again, but this time you said pain too much. I suggest besides using just agony go onto Dictionary.com and use the thesaurus section to help expand your vocabulary

The executioner on the other hand was having much fun. I could hear him sometimes laughing slightly. He was playing a small game. After the first few whips the executioner tried to hit the open wound yet again and again. He succeeded from time to time making me scream and cry at the same time. Finally after an hour that seemed like eternity to me, the executioner stopped and removed my hands and legs from the nails. I felt nothing, my body was past its limit and now I wouldn’t know if someone cut me to pieces. I was lifted off the torture table and onto the floor. I noticed that the smaller man was not to be seen. He then removed the shreds of my shirt. Once my shredded and torn shirt was on the floor he lifted my hands and put on another shirt clearly made for male prisoners only. I was then pulled through the numerous halls by my legs.

-I liked this paragraph alot. The only thing I saw was the 'was having much fun' part its awkward. If you read it out loud it just sounds weird

Now I know what a broom feels like.

-Punctuation

The ground was extremely hard and barely smooth. My head kept banging on the stoned of the uneven ground. He executioner stopped in front of a large prison and then lifted me off the ground. He then opened the cage a little barely enough for me to enter and threw me into the cage. The first thing I saw was three pairs of bloodthirsty eyes. The next thing I new my face was on the ground and I gave up trying to keep my body functioning.

-did you mean 'stone' not stoned; 'The' not 'He'; use pronouns instead of cage twice



Let's forget about all the editing I just did.

I LOVED IT!!!! I'm a sucker for vampire stories, except the Twilight Series. If you like reading about vampires as much as you like to write about them I would consider reading Amelia Atwatter-Rhodes series on vampires.

Like someone said before you might want to read you story outloud before posting it. Don't worry I have the same problem. There was some grammer errors, awkward wording, and repetitive words, but other then that it was great.

PM when more comes out!

Nice way to start it out, especially since I have waited to long to see the sequel to the first one. Smile

Okay don't think you need to out in the hair and eye color. Cant they already see it?

Quote:

I think you could put voice instead of sound in that sentance.

Quote:

I struggled to see who was behind him but all I could see was a slim hand covered with a black sleek cloth mostly worn by lawyers.


THis sentance was a bit confusing. So is there a large black hand behind the guard? or is that what he can see from a slot in the hand?

Quote:
“You are most likely a newborn, the master might let you live when he sees you. That is if you cooperate with us” The same voice said.


I think that a comma would go there instead of a period.

Quote:
“Show yourself if you dare” I spat and then restrained myself from snarling.


Okay, so the voice is coming from an unknown person right?

Quote:
I was clearly surprised by my sudden boldness. Considering the way I would act in normal circumstances this was certainly very bold. I heard a muffled laugh, the instant I did I knew it would be too soft for the human ear to hear.


You should probably cut down on using I's just a bit in your story, you wouldn't want for it to sound too repetitive.

Quote:
“You are in no position to give orders” said the man, a hint of amusement in his voice.

Angered by this, I struggled to restrain myself from screaming at the top of my voice.


Nothing wrong here...

Quote:
“What do you want?” I asked finally after a few minutes of silence.


Maybe a few moments instead of a few minutes, but its your choice.

Quote:
“We simply need you to help us… restrain more of your kind... with your help that is.” Replied the man, he was clearly satisfied with himself from my sudden cooperativeness.


next sentance...

Quote:
I thought for a while. Would I choose to help these… humans or help my own kind, the same kind who had captured me, turned me and left me for dead? But there were more like me, m innocent souls who would get imprisoned in this god forsaken prison to rot for eternity.


TYPO ALERT! You might want to take out that extra m beefore innocent. I liked these sentances through, they have a certain ring to them.

Quote:
No, I won’t let that happen. I wont let them be captured like me.


I think that this would sound better: No, I wouldn't let that happen, I wouldn't let them be captured liek me.
By the way you need to put a apostrophe in the second won't.

Quote:
“What’s in it for me” I asked almost whispering this time


Forgoe your question mark at the end of the sentance.

Quote:
“If you cooperate according to our wishes, then we will... let you go free.” Replied the voice instantly as if waiting for me to ask him the question.


Couldn't find anything here...

Quote:
Although his voice seemed firm I could tell from the slight curving of his tone to a higher pitch that he was clearly lying. I smiled to myself at how sharp my sense of hearing was.

Maybe this isn’t that bad after all


Quote:
Not bad... Make sure you correct you punctuation though. You need a period at the end of that third sentance.

“No” I whispered loud enough for both of the men to hear.

The larger man who had not moved or spoken since I awoke smiled in satisfaction and said “I told you so. These bloodsuckers are all the same.”

The man behind him sighed.


Very good, I didn't find any mistakes here.

Quote:
“I guess your right. Go ahead then” said the man his voice suddenly filled with evil encouragement.

“My pleasure” said the large man his voice hoarse and rough.


Your punctation. You need to put a comma after pleasure and then, and before the quotation marks.

So many grammar mistakes... It isn't like you to make so many. Feeling not felling. Capitilize the I.

uh, oh, it looks like someone is about to be in major pain...

Quote:
“Stop” He commanded


Again with the punctuation. After stop put a comma, and put a period after commanded.

Quote:
The executioner, clearly puzzled by this command stopped. I heard the small mans footsteps echo through the room as he approached me. He cut the back of my shirt with something sharp until I was bare-chested.

“What soft skin you have” he said gently tracing my spinal cord with his fingers sending a chill through my body.


ohhh creepy. No mistakes that I can see.

Quote:
He did this several times, but then after a few minutes he withdrew his hands and said “Continue” to the executioner who didn’t seem Disturbed by my anguish.


I don't think disturbed should be capitilized.

Quote:
The whipping started again. The agony of each whip increased twofold each time he whipped me. The pain didn’t subside like it did with the nails and I smelt my skin burning. Tears poured out of my eyes as a cried or tried to cry due to the burning sensation. After a few minutes of unbearable pain, my legs went limp, followed by the rest of my body.

Smelt is not a word I think you meant smelled.

Great work, these last few sentances were very good.

I loved the follow up and please let me know when you post something else. Although the story was a bit confusing at times it only needs some polishing up. You're doing a great job omn this story and I really hop you continue. ,You did have quite a few punctuation and spelling mistakes, so please fix them. Other than that great job *gold star* and keep writing!

Comma after misfortune, comma between Stop and the quotation mark, lowercase He.

I see you do this a lot. You fail to put any ending punctuation at the end of your dialogue and then automatically capitalize the next word. For example,

Quote:
‘Bloodsuckers have the extraordinary power to heal their wounds even without them wanting it. But there are things that even the dead cannot heal. One of theses tings are the rare Werewolf saliva. The saliva is almost harmless to humans but lethal to your kind. It burns the skin and prevents your blood from healing the wounds. So we have found an effective way of using this liquid other than just throwing it away. Observe” Said the smaller man, still unseen to me.


There should be a comma after Observe and Said should be lowercase. Be sure you work on that! Smile


Other than punctuation and stuff, the story is fantastic! I'll be sure to check in on Chapter Two. Very Happy

Chapter 1 part 2

I woke up and tried to stand, but something held me back. All I could do was move my head so I bent it towards my body to see where I was. What I saw was not pleasant. I was nailed down to a wooden board from by my hands and legs. My eyes widened in shock and then I gasped in surprise for the fact that none of my wounds hurt.
“Arianna Robinson, Daughter of Robert Robinson and Mary Robinson, Sister of William Robinson. Age seventeen, black hair, blue eyes disappeared three days ago in the forest while searching for flowers. Am I right?” A a cold smooth voice asked.
I was surprised but didn’t show it. Slowly I willed my head to move towards the direction where the sound came from.
Two men towered above me. The one closer to me was almost twice as tall as me I was. Also he looked as if he was fully comprised of large muscles. He wore a mask of black cloth, his chest was bare and he wore short black trousers. I instantly recognized him to be one of the guards or executioners of where ever I was in. I struggled to see who was behind him but all I could see was a slim hand covered with a black sleek cloth mostly worn by lawyers.
“You are most likely a newborn, the master might let you live when he sees you. That is if you cooperate with us” The same voice said.
“Show yourself if you dare” I spat and then restrained myself from snarling.
I was clearly surprised by my sudden boldness. Considering the way I would act in normal circumstances this was certainly very bold. Go into more detail here. I would like to know more about your MC I heard a muffled laugh, the instant I did I knew it would be too soft for the human ear to hear.
“You are in no position to give orders” said the man, a hint of amusement in his voice.
Angered by this, I struggled to restrain myself from screaming at the top of my voice.
“What do you want?” I asked finally after a few minutes of silence.
“We simply need you to help us… restrain more of your kind... with your help that is.” Replied the man, he was clearly satisfied with himself from my sudden cooperativeness.
I thought for a while. Would I choose to help these… humans or help my own kind, the same kind who had captured me, turned me and left me for dead? But there were more like me, m my innocent souls who would get imprisoned in this god forsaken prison to rot for eternity.
No, I won’t let that happen. I wont let them be captured like me.
“What’s in it for me” I asked almost whispering this time
“If you cooperate according to our wishes, then we will... let you go free.” Replied the voice instantly as if waiting for me to ask him the question.
Although his voice seemed firm I could tell from the slight curving of his tone to a higher pitch that he was clearly lying. I smiled to myself at how sharp my sense of hearing was.
Maybe this isn’t that bad after all
“No” I whispered loud enough for both of the men to hear.
The larger man who had not moved or spoken since I awoke smiled in satisfaction and said “I told you so. These bloodsuckers are all the same.”
The man behind him sighed.
“I guess your right. Go ahead then” said the man his voice suddenly filled with evil encouragement.
“My pleasure” said the large man his voice hoarse and rough.
The large man took one step towards me and then removed my arms from the nails by pulling them out. I screamed in agony as the pain suddenly shot up my hands through my body. The throbbing subsided soon and was replaced by a burning sensation which was in turn replaced by a cool felling feeling. I smiled to myself as i I looked at my healed hands with only blood to prove there had once been wounds there. I tried to struggle but I was too weak. The man removed my legs from the nails and I felt the same throbbing and cool sensation yet again. Then to my sheer horror he turned me around with ease and pushed hands back onto the nails. The pain was twice as painful as before. Blood from my hands poured down the table as my injuries bled. My bare legs suffered the same agony. But to my relief my injuries healed after a few minutes of pain.
‘Bloodsuckers have the extraordinary power to heal their wounds even without them wanting it. But there are things that even the dead cannot heal. One of theses tings things are the rare Werewolf saliva. The saliva is almost harmless to humans but lethal to your kind. It burns the skin and prevents your blood from healing the wounds. So we have found an effective way of using this liquid other than just throwing it away. Observe” Said the smaller man, still unseen to me.
I turned my head as far as possible. I saw the executioner pour a liquid onto a long black whip. Once the liquid was finished he let go of the beaker which fell onto the floor and clattered to a stop. I turned my head and waited to see if what the man had said was true. The minute I managed to turn around the whip met its mark, my back. Luckily I had my shirt on, the same shirt I had stole from the Vampires I had escaped from. It managed to restrict the blows of the whip to some extent. But to my misfortune the smaller man realized this to.
“Stop” He commanded
The executioner, clearly puzzled by this command stopped. I heard the small mans footsteps echo through the room as he approached me. He cut the back of my shirt with something sharp until I was bare-chested.
“What soft skin you have” he said gently tracing my spinal cord with his fingers sending a chill through my body.
He did this several times, but then after a few minutes he withdrew his hands and said “Continue” to the executioner who didn’t seem Disturbed disturbed by my anguish.
The whipping started again. The agony of each whip increased twofold each time he whipped me. The pain didn’t subside like it did with the nails and I smelt my skin burning. Tears poured out of my eyes as a cried or tried to cry due to the burning sensation. After a few minutes of unbearable pain, my legs went limp, followed by the rest of my body. Though my body was already limp I could still feel the throbbing and burning on my back.
The executioner on the other hand kept up his whipping as if he was having fun by doing his inhuman work. I could hear him sometimes laughing slightly. He was playing a small game. After the first few whips the executioner tried to hit the open wound yet again and again. He succeeded from time to time making me scream and cry at the same time. Finally after an hour that seemed like eternity to me, the executioner stopped and removed my hands and legs from the nails. I felt nothing, my body was past its limit and now I wouldn’t know if someone cut me to pieces. I was lifted off the torture table and onto the floor. I noticed that the smaller man was not to be seen. He then removed the shreds of my shirt. Once my shredded and torn shirt was on the floor he lifted my hands and put on another shirt clearly made for male prisoners only. I was then pulled through the numerous halls by my legs.
Now I know what a broom feels like.
The ground was extremely hard and barely smooth. My head kept banging on the stones of the uneven floor. The executioner stopped in front of a large prison and then lifted me off the ground. He then opened the cage a little barely enough for me to enter and threw me into the prison. The first thing I saw was three pairs of bloodthirsty eyes. The next thing I new my face was on the ground and I gave up trying to keep my body functioning.

*********************************************************************


Well what do you think?? Rolling Eyes Rolling Eyes

By the way this is the first tie I'm writing a book with the main character being a girl so if anyone finds out errors about how she would feel at that time, point them out.


For now, I think you are doing really well with the MC being a girl. Only at th end did I think it could be a guy instead. Otherwise, you are doing well Very Happy

I really enjoyed this chapter. It was extremely well written. All your descriptions and everything were nicely don. I really have no complaints.

Just PM me when you post more! Very Happy

Firestalker:

It was when she was getting captured...I guess just the air you gave is when it sounded like a boy. Here, I'll just quote it for you Wink

During this whole thing, that's when I kind of felt like it.

Otherwise, the whole time, it sounded like a girl Very Happy

Hope this cleared things up for you.

No it doesn't. Not exactly. How do you exactly turn it to a female perspective?

Once my shredded and torn shirt was on the floor he lifted my hands and put on another shirt clearly made for male prisoners only Describe how she knows the shirt is for male prisoners. Does it fit loose, snug, ect? That way, the reader can infer that it's a girl, you know?. I was then pulled through the numerous halls by my legs.


Well, hopefully that helped a little more. Just changing the things I pointed out should help clear the female POV in that little blurb. Very Happy

Hallos! Sorry I forgot about this. I took my time and reviewed it properly. Here it goes :
So the main character is a girl. Ok. Being a boy and writing the story at the first person it's quite a strange move, but hell! Its about being original Smile

Quote:
I woke up and tried to stand, but something held me back.

Change in : I woke up but something held my hands and legs imobilized.

Quote:
All I could do was move my head so I bent it towards my body to see where I was. What I saw was not pleasant. I was nailed down to a wooden board from my hands and legs. My eyes widened in shock and then I gasped in surprise for the fact that none of my wounds hurt.

Rewrite : All I could do was move my head so I bent it towards my body to see where I was. What I saw almost turned my stomach upside down. I was nailed down to a wooden board from my hands and legs. My eyes widened in shock. It wasn't pleasant to see myself in that condition. I gasped in surprise for the fact that none of my wounds hurt.
- If, lets say, I would have been in her place I would rather be sick at the sight of nails holding me down on a board.

Quote:
“If you cooperate according to our wishes, then we will... let you go free.” Replied the voice instantly as if waiting for me to ask him the question.

Although his voice seemed firm I could tell from the slight curving of his tone to a higher pitch that he was clearly lying.

Rewrite: "If you cooperate according to our wishes then we will... let you go free." I felt his hesitation as he replied quickly. The slight curving of his tone to a higher pitch told me that he was clearly lying even though he tried to look firm enough to convince.

Quote:
The pain was twice as painful as before. I yelped as my body struggled to remove the torture. Blood from my hands poured down the table as my injuries bled. My bare legs suffered the same agony. But to my relief my injuries healed after a few minutes of pain.

- Girls don't have a good endurance at extremely physical pain that takes action in a very short period of time so we tend to cry, yell and so on when we fell pain.

Quote:
“What soft skin you have” he said gently tracing my spinal cord with his fingers sending a chill through my body.
He did this several times, but then after a few minutes he withdrew his hands and said “Continue” to the executioner who didn’t seem disturbed by my anguish.

- Well he took her shirt off. Every normal girl should be embarrassed by that situation.

Quote:
The pain didn’t subside like it did with the nails and I smelled my skin burning.Tears poured out of my eyes as a cried or tried to cry due to the burning sensation.

Rewrite : The pain didn’t subside like it did with the nails and I smelled my skin burning. I screamed, cursed, screamed again until my jaws started to hurt. Tears poured out of my eyes at every strike. They burned like my back.

Quote:
Though my body was already limp I could still feel the throbbing and burning on my back.

- Continue with : I felt like passing out but the pain kept me awake.

Quote:
I felt nothing,but the burns. My body was past its limit and now I wouldn’t know if someone cut me to pieces. I was numb like a puppet and the thought of being disgusted of my state crossed my mind.

- You say that the character couldn't feel anything, was tired. So I completed that with I was numb like a puppet and the thought of being disgusted of my state crossed my mind.

Quote:
I was lifted off the torture table and onto the floor.My body was all a wound. I noticed that the smaller man was not to be seen.


Quote:
The next thing I new my face was on the ground and I gave up trying to keep my body functioning.

- Change in: The next thing I felt was my face hitting the ground. I took a breath of dust and started to cough painfully. I gave up trying to keep my conscience.

And now to help you with the male shirt thing.
The shirt was a little too big for her. It was made of brown harsh linen cloth that made the pain from her back even more agonizing. The smell of cheap launder was strong enough to make her sick.
- Here ya go. A little example.

Well that's all Smile. Hope it helps. Again sorry i forgot. Luck!

-Akayl

Firestalker, I really am not being much help, am I? Confused Confused Confused

I'm so sorry. Here I am and hopefully I can clear things up for good this time Wink

Quote:

After a few minutes of unbearable pain, my legs went limp, followed by the rest of my body. I felt like passing out but the pain kept me awake.


The executioner on the other hand kept up his whipping as if he was having fun by doing his inhuman work. I could hear him sometimes laughing slightly. He seemed to be playing a game; after the first few whips the executioner tried to hit the open wound yet again and again. It was sick to know that he was actually enjoying torturing me. He succeeded from time to time making me scream and cry at the same time. Finally after an hour that seemed like eternity to me, the executioner stopped and removed my hands and legs from the nails. I felt nothing,but the burns. This last sentence is awkward. I would reword like maybe: I felt nothing but the agony of the burns or something like that My body was past its limit and now I wouldn’t know if someone cut me to pieces. Try instead to reword this last sentence like: My body was past its limit now, and I wouldn't even notice if someone cut me into little pieces. I was numb like a puppet I'm not sure "puppet" is the right use here. Maybe use "stone" or "paralyzed" and the thought of being disgusted of my state crossed my mind. I was lifted off the torture table and onto the floor.My body was all a wound. I noticed that the smaller man was not to be seen. He then removed the shreds of my shirt. I tried to stop him, my hands shot up to stop him automatically as a reflex, but he easily brushed them off. Reword. Maybe try: I tried to stop him, my hands shooting up in an automatic reflex, but he easily brushed them off. I tried to struggle but my body was too weak so I leaned against the nearest wall embarrassed, afraid, and angry. Once my shredded and torn shirt was on the floor he lifted my hands and put on another shirt clearly made for male prisoners only. The shirt was a little too big for her me. It was made of brown harsh linen cloth that made the pain from her my back even more agonizing. The smell of cheap launder was strong enough to make her me sick. I was then pulled through the numerous halls by my legs.


Wow, you have no idea how much you have improved this entire paragraph. The detail is amazing and the girl-MC thing is SO much better. I apologize for not being very clear in the past, but this was very good. I loved it. Very Happy You making her embarressed to remove her shirt, ect, was perfect. It really brought out the girl, you know?

Well, this was so much better. I really can't believe how much this has improved.

Again, I'm sorry I was so confusing. Hopefully the little review I gave above helped a little Confused

PM me when you post the next installment!
