Crystals of white as far as the eye can see
Christmas lights twinkle up and down the street
The tree decorated with every shape and color
Christmas morn came early and full of wonder
We four ran towards the magnificent evergreen
Only to find nothing but air beneath the boughs
Our father sat silently with a sly smile on his face
He handed the first of us a note with a clue to decipher
MR MONKEY’S FINAL DEFENSE it read
Beyond ecstatic, we raced to the first room
We searched room after room looking for clue after clue
The final clue of VROOM VROOM led us to the garage
Three instruments, each carefully labeled with a name
Two gleaming guitars for Kevin and Leith,
A colossal, pitch black set of drums for Nick,
But alas, none for little Alise in the vicinity
My father still sat in place, awaiting my return
A large gift lay under the tree, just for me
I tore off the wrapping paper with all my might,
To discover a simple white box which I opened carefully
Inside lay a beautiful doll, a mini-me
Her hair straight and chestnut brown like mine
Her chocolate eyes opened and closed as I lifted her
It was Amber, my new American Girl doll, my new best friend

Charlie
"Charlie!" my mother screamed up the stairs.
"Coming!" Both me and my brother replied.
Neither of us came out of our rooms though. He was probably talking to his friends, complaining more likely, about the new school we have to go to soon. I kind of felt sympathy for him, with him spending his senior year of high school at a new school. I, on the other hand, have to spend my sophomore year at a new school.
"Charles! Charlotte!" My dad called.
With a sigh, I closed the book I was reading and left my room. My brother came out of his at the same time. So we walked down the stairs together.
When we reached the bottom of the stairs Grace handed us both our lunches, "I packed you both a brownie for good luck."
Charlie rolled his eyes, but I knew he appreciated it.
I sigh and look at my brother "Shall we?"
He dangles his keys from his hand and replies "Let's go." We headed out to the car.
Even though I was adopted, I still thought of him as my brother and Grace and Tom to be my parents. It's not that I keep my adoption a secret but me and my brother look scary a like so nobody asks, therefore I have no reason to tell.
When we got to school we both went to the main office to check in because it was our first day there. Afterwards we parted ways to go to our lockers.

Aria
I enter the square to see people and lights all around. I could hear the toasts and cheer in celebration of our feat. After all, I suppose it is quite a feat for five people to enter a place such as the capital and came out with all of us alive and 35 captives.
Peter comes up from behind "you look beautiful," he told me. I look at him and smile.
"Thank you" I reply. I had chosen a night blue strapless dress. The silk fabric was smooth and shiny. It only came as far as my knees. It had sparkles all over the dress. They glittered it the light making it look like I was wearing the night sky with hundreds of stars. There were more sparkles at the bottom and fewer at the top so there were none above my waist. The bottom was a bit puffy like I cut of the bottom of Cinderella's dress.
Peeta made his way towards me "wow did you find Cinna in the Capitol too?" he asks.
I laugh "no I did not and if you must know I designed and created this dress myself."
"well enough chit chat. Aria would care to dance with me?" Peter asks.
"I would love to." I reply.
"it was a pleasure talking with you Peeta" Peter says as we make our way to the dance floor.
"You too" Peeta replies softly for we were already at a distance that no noal person couldn't have heard.
This is the blue of the dress:
(the closest I can get to the blue on my head)

Tunnels
The sound of sword on sword rang through the air. A battle cry escaped my lips as I swiped the head off of one of my foes.
I watched as two by two the men filed into the room, no matter how many I slew one always took its place.
I searched frantically for my companions. No one was to be in sight.
Suddenly I heard Eragon, an ally of mine, yell out of the dark "ARWEN!?"
"I am here!" I yelled back. I rushed toward the sound of his voice, killing anyone who got in my way. He must have heard me because I saw him rush towards me just as I rushed towards him.
Together we escaped the room and ran down the long passage ways frantically trying to find an exit from these under ground tunnels. The Empire was quick on our tails and we often had to stand and fight until Eragon conjured up a spell to throw or disorient the soldiers. We soon found a stair leading up into a small room. There was only one door, so we immediately ran towards it. It opened with surprising ease (for one suspects such a door to be locked or magically guarded). We ran into the room and shut the door only to find a winding stair case. Eragon hesitated but I dashed up the stairs so he was forced to follow.
When I reached the top I looked into the room to find but a window and a bell. I looked out the window to see we were about a league up. A watch tower I thought. I looked over at Eragon and could tell he was searching for Saphira's conscious. He must have found it and told her the situation because I heard a roar in the distance after a few seconds.
Realizing the soldiers could still catch up I barricaded the entrance and threw what I could down the steps to hinder them from their path.
The room suddenly filled with much more light than before. I looked up to see Saphira, and the roof was gone. She grasped me and Eragon, one in each claw, and flew away.
I watched the ruined city until we disappeared in the night.

Wolfhunter
I lay awaiting the arrival of an animal i could eat. My ear twitched as i heard an animal approaching. I could tell it was running, fast. A blur of white ran past my hiding spot, I quickly sprinted after it.
"A rabbit!" I thought, "I'm eating good tonight." A smiled appeared on my face at the thought of the meat.
The smile on my disappeared as I realized it was not a rabbit, but a fox. I had caught up to it so instead of pouncing, as I had planned to catch my prey, I ran in front of the fox and stopped. This blocked its path, therefore, it had to stop.
"Who are you? I haven't seen any white foxes in these parts before." He said. He was cautious, for the kingdom was at war with itself. His clan was still on the side of the King and Queen, but some others had rebelled.
She tried to move around him but he wouldn't let her, for he had realized it was a vixen (girl). She glared at him and said "If you are an ally of the king then I suggest you do not hinder me." She tried once more to move around him but he wouldn't let her through.
"That is not who you are." He stated.
She sighed. " I am Mooneater. An artic fox of Illiade."
He moved to let her pass, " Have a safe journey Mooneater"
Mooneater did not move. "I have told you who I am it is only fair you tell me who you are"
" I am Wolfhunter. I believe I am a red fox of Boxiat." He replied. " The sun shall be setting soon, if you would like you may stay with my clan for the night. We always welcome friends of the royal family."
"I would like that. Thank you." She said.
We started off to were my clan is sleeping for the night.
