KidPub's Never Ending Story
The Story So Far...
*This is the first thing I've ever done on KP!!!!!* Liz saw Sophie's sad face. "Sophie?
--Hanna

 

*Well, welcome to KP, Hanna!* Sophie looked up, her eyes filled with tears. "Liz," she said, "I saw your mother....I saw her.....die." Liz's lip trembled and she stood up swiftly. Suddenly, she broke into a run.

--Hanna

 

Gary and Vidic tried to run after to her. Sophie held out a hand. "She'll come when she's ready." She replied.
--SophVi

 

Sorry for that!* Liz ran and ran running could clear her head but now it wouldn't her heart beating fast thoughts like a hurricane in her head. Liz ran into a young girl. The girl was 13 tall with long black hair so long she could sit on it the girl was crying. "Whats wrong?" Liz asked. "My moms dead and my gram just died from a stroke!" "My names Liz my moms dead. Come with me." With that she led Sal to camp.
--Hanna

 

Can we keep Sal please please please!?
--Hanna

 

Liz ran until she found a small, clear pond. Her eyes filled with tears, she jumped into the ice-cold water. Her hair floated all around her and she opened her eyes slowly. She uncurled her body and floated up to the surface. She took a deep breath and began swimming in the pond. An hour later, she climbed out, happy and refreshed. She looked at her skin, stunned. She had gone all scaly! She looked at her legs and saw they were now a green tail. She gasped. She was a mermaid!!!!!
--Daffodility

 

Sal looked at Liz and gasped " What are you?"
--Hanna

 

*Um, Hanna? There's no Sal...*
--Daffodility

 

I made her up in paragraph above she can die or whatever
--Hanna

 

*Hanna? 1) I wrote my paragraph before you, but you posted first. I don't think ours make sense together. Who's paragraph should we keep? 2) When you put something in this NES and it's not related to the plot, please put them in asterisks( These: *). THX. It just makes it less confusing.*
--Daffodility

 

Enter the next paragraph...
--Hanna

 

Yours can go
--Hanna

 

*I'm going from Daffodlity's BTW. I don't want to confuse anyone. Oh and no offense Hanna. I'm just that way. Your paraghraph was really good. * Vidic sat down next to Sophie and Gary. Gary's arm was around her causally. Gary flashed him a sypathetic look. Sophie was staring at the water in front of them. Her eyes were wide and scared. Something had really gone wrong. Suddenly a head popped up in the middle of the lake. It swam towards them. As it got closer Vidic realized it was Liz.
--Grace

 

"Liz?" Vidic called. Liz walked up and collapsed.. "LIZ!" Gary yelled. They rushed up around her Liz was baredly breathing.
--Hanna

 

*Um, Hanna? She had a tail, so she crawled up.* Liz crawled onto the grass, her body still half fish. Her chest moved up and down slowly. Gary and Vidic rushed to her side and Gary performed a simple healing spell on her. Soon, she was breathing normally again. the 3 sat down together at the edge of the small pond. "Liz, w-why are you..? What are..?" Gary managed to say. Liz took a deep breath and nodded. Vidic put his arm around her and gave her a sympathetic look with his large, brown eyes. "Liz, why didn't you ever tell me?" he asked her. Liz bit her lower lip and shrugged a little, "I never really knew.." Her voice trailed off and she blushed. She looked back at Gary. "How...how did you become..."---He gestured to her tail---"This..?" Liz took a deep breath and twiddled her thumbs. "I...I don't really know. I've always just loved being in water though. I mean, I didn't even see or feel myself change. I guess that now I see why Mom never let me swim out in public. Not even in our private pool with you, Gary. But, I just came out and I was like this. But, I didn't have to hold my breath under there. I just realized that! I could go really deep for a really long time and I never had to hold my breath! Gary, I can't believe I'm a mermaid!" Liz explained, now excited, "I lo-ove water! I'm so happy!" And with that, she dove into the water without a single word from Gary or Vidic on the matter.
--Daffodility

 

Gary and Vidic looked at each other. Sophie said something that neither boy could hear. Gary gentally asked "What did you say Sophie?" She stood up and screamed "ONE OF YOU GO AND GET HER!! BRING HER TO ME!!!" Gary and Vidic looked at each other, more confused then ever.
--Grace

 

Sorry I keep messing up!
--Hanna

 

*That's OK, Hanna. I know you're new.* Suddenly the words registered in Vidic's mind and he threw off his dirty polo shirt and shoes and dove into the clear water. He opened his eyes and saw Liz at the bottom of the pond, lying on a bed of some fluffy, gooey-looking orange stuff. She gazed up at him and smiled. "Vidic!" she exclaimed, her voice sounding crystal-clear in the water, "Glad you could join me! Come on down! This orange thing is really soft!" She poked her finger into the goo and left a small imprint for a few moments. Then, the imprint was gone and the goo was smooth again. Vidic put his hands over his mouth and shook his head violently. Liz chuckled, "Oh! You need an air-bubble, don't you?" She smiled and swam swiftly and effortlessly up to Vidic. She did some sort of odd motion with her hands and a bubble of air appeared around Vidic's head. He smiled a bit at his girlfriend. "Thanks, Liz!" he said. Liz smiled and laughed and grabbed his hand. Gently, she pulled him to the bottom of the pond and together the 2 lay down on the soft, squishy orange goop. It had originally been only big enough for Liz to lay on but it now expanded so that there was enough room for both Liz and Vidic to lay comfortably on it. Vidic chuckled and put his hands behind his head. He crossed his legs and gazed at his mermaid girlfriend. She put her hands behind her head as well and crossed the 2 large, green flippers of her tail. Mini, green fins had grown on her arms and neck. Her skin had gone completely scaly and shimmered and shone in the light. Her wavy, black hair flatted all around her and her bright green eyes sparkled with pure happiness. She was wearing her black-and-white, striped shirt, tattered, worn, and cut off so it looked like a belly-shirt. Her tail was a deep, sea-green with purple and blue scales here and there. There were purple and blue streaks in her hair, as well. Together, the couple played happily in the water for the rest of the day. Until they heard a BOOM!
--Daffodility

 

"What was that?" Liz whispered. A shock wave rumbled through the water.
--Athena

 

Vidic and Liz exchanged worried looks. The 2 swam up to the top. Standing in front of them was a giant with 5 arms, And guess who he had in 3 of them? Rynnetta, Sophie and Gary. Liz gasped. But wait. Where was Diane? The giant smashed down trees and reached into the water, grabbing Liz and Vidic. He began to squeeze them tightly. Suddenly, there was a flash of green light and the troll was gone. Diane was floating in mid-air, her moccasins and deer-skin dress shining and glittering. In her hand she held a large, golden staff and in her other one she had a large, golden ball. Immediately, everyone got on their hands and knees in front of her and bowed deeply, "Hail, mighty princess." Diane looked upon them regally. For she was the Princess of Princess. She was a Goddess.
--Daffodility

 

*This one is pretty sentimental, but I liked writing it. Please don't "Diane," Liz whispered, awed. "You really are the Princess." Diane smiled, regretful and proud at the same time, and drew Liz to her feet. "You musn't bow to me, Lizbeth," She said, a gentle smile curving her full lips. "For you are a princess, you and your brother." Then she spread out her hands, and Gary, Sophie and Rynetta stood up. Diane gazed at them all. "Liz, Gary, Sophie, Rynetta, Vidic." She paused. "Liz, you are a princess. You have powers, the power of healing, the power of seeing the future. But also, you have the power of loving Vidic." Liz smiled at Vidic and squeezed his hand. "You have a power in your heart." she turned to Gary. "Gary, you have the power of force. You can control objects around you, and you can understand things that other people could never understand. But most of all, you love Sophie, and you love Liz. You look after her as no one else has ever done, and you will always do so. You will soon make an amazing king." Gary smiled and drew Sophie in close. Diane turned back to Rynetta. "Rynetta, you are Liz and Gary's cousin. You have been tempted, and sometimes given in, to the false treasures of evil." Rynetta flushed, ashamed. "But you have always held true. You are a good person. If you have no hope, you find it. You are truely an amazing person." Then she turned to Vidic, and smiled upon him with caring, maternal understanding. "Vidic, your love for Liz has prompted you to die for her. You were her friend as a child, accompanying her throughout bad times and good. She loves you, and you her. Never forget that." Vidic nodded, kissed Liz's lips softly and held her close. *You guys can to Sophie, I've gotta go to bed*
--Athena

 

"Well" vidic said curtly. "i guess its time for us to go." they left quickly. thats my paragraph. well, bye, im gonna go on facebook now :D
--Nicole

 

*Um, Nicole? Can I please "X" that out? I want to do something...* Then Diane rose into the air, a golden light shining down upon her. She smiled at them and said, "At last I have been permitted to reveal to you my true identity to you." She said happily, "I am Princess Deidre, Princess of Princesses." Everyone smiled at her, Vidic and Liz hugging each other and Gary and Sophie doing the same thing. Then, there was a flash of blinding, blue light and Deidre was on the ground again. Next to her was the same tall, tan woman that Liz had met at the Pond of the Gods, Magdalena, with chocolate brown eyes and bushy, black hair that went to her ankles. The woman beamed at Deidre and put her hand on her shoulder. Next to them was a tall, muscular man with rich, dark brown skin and straight, messy, black hair that went to his shoulders and swept over his bright blue eyes. Immediately, everyone knew who it was: Dalian, the God of Gods. And standing in front of him was a tall, lanky, skinny boy with deathly-white skin and silver hair and silver eyes: Dax, the Prince of Princes. Everyone bowed to the royal family.
--Daffodility

 

Diane smiled and hugged Magdalena. "Mother," She cried happily.
--Athena

 

Magdalena beamed at her daughter and hugged her back. At last, thought Diane, we are reunited.
--Daffodility

 

Sophie backed away images of the death of thier mother still engraved in her mind. Gary sensed that Sophie was uneasy and pulled her away from the group. They were all stading around laughing and having fun. Gary sat Sophie down and asked softly "What did you see Sophie? What did you see?" Sophie shook her head violently. She didn't want to tell him. "Tell me Sophie. It's ok." Sophie looked at him again. Her eyes were wide and scared. Finally she explaied what she had seen. Gary hugged her to himself and whispered into her ear. "It's all right. Nothings going to hurtyou. I won't let anything get to you." Sophie nodded slightly and turned her head to look at him. Gary pressed his lips against hers. She kissed him back. Suddenly Gary pulled away. Something was wrong. Her lips were cold. Almost like she had no warmth in them. Gary felt her arms. Her whole body was freezing. Sophie's eyes were closing and she was loosing the warmth she had left. Sophie was dieing. And fast.
--Grace

 

In only a few minutes, Sophie's pale skin was tinted with blue and her lips were purple. Her chest moved up and down, ever so slowly. Gary gasped and lay her down on the ground, her head propped up on a soft pile of dirt. "Guys!" yelled Gary, "Get over here! And fast!" Vidic and Liz rushed over to Sophie's side and the cloud that Dierdre and her family stood on brought them to the ground by Sophie's head. Deirdre hopped off the cloud and sat down by Sophie's head. She took a deep breath and glanced at her family. Her father's face remained blank and emotionless, as well as her brother's. Her mother gave her a small smile and nodded. Deirdre looked back at Sophie, a long, golden stick shaped like a boomerang materializing in her hands. She gripped the ends tightly and touched the pointed center to Sophie's forehead. Sophie glowed blue, as did Deirdre and the stick. The 2 began to levitate a few feet. Deirdre closed her eyes and murmured an incantation. She could see Sophie's life force in her mind: Faint, large, green spots surrounded Sophie's unconscious body, circling around and around her. They began to fade away. Sophie was dying. Deirdre concentrated hard and muttered another spell, this time saying it over and over again. There was a low hum and Gary, Vidic and Liz could see the glow around Sophie, Deirdre and the boomerang changing to a light pink and then a bright blue. The hum got louder and the ground shook. Deirdre's chant became louder now, so others could hear what she was saying: "Nabitaram Eligra!" over and over and over again. Deirdre could see Sophie's life force returning and getting stronger, for now pink swirls and purple stripes encircled her body as well. Gary could see his girlfriend's body flinch a bit. There was a flash of golden light, and they were back on the ground. Sophie's eyes fluttered open and she stood up, helping Deirdre to her feet as well. She hugged Deirdre tightly and then Gary and then Liz and then Vidic. Tears filled her eyes as she ran up to Gary and mashed her lips strongly against his. Her hands wrapped around his neck and his around her waist. Deirdre's family left with a few short "Good-bye"s and "Until we meet again"s, then ascended back into their palace in Paradise.

--Daffodility

 

*Actually, it's Diane, not Deidre, but still...:)*
--Athena

 

*Diane's real name is Deidre, so that's what I'll call her. Sorry for any confusion. Her real name is Deirdre. Also, her name means "sorrowful one". I got it from an old Irish legend about a woman named Deirdre. So, ya. Her real name is Deirdre.*
--Daffodility

 

*OH! COOL! Now, what to write...fine, I'll just do a very short one to get people started* Sophie broke apart from Gary and rested her head on his chest. "What do we do now?" Liz asked. Sophie shrugged. Vidic shrugged. And, very slowly, all eyes travelled to Gary. Gary groaned.
--Athena

 

Gary isnt going to reply to them so he just disrupted Vidic, Liz and Sophie.
--Max

 

They all found something to do but they were still thinking about Dianes family. Oh how much fun they all had. They started working on a fire but Liz burnt herself. She was bleeding and her veins were terrible. Then when Sophie came along, she could see that Liz is laying on the floor harmfully dead
--Max

 

Uh max, two things. 1, a little burn can't kill someone. Trust me. and 2, Liz shouldn't die here from a fire. More... heroic? I'm just gonna x that out...
--lvhamsters

 

*Diddo. Also, Diane is really named Deirdre now, so just call her that, Max. Just telling you the rules. I'll "X" those 2 posts out...*
--Daffodility

 

*Oh, hey, Max...this is awkward, but we have 2 Maxes. One 15-year old girl and one 9-year old boy...which one are you?*
--Athena

 

*What's going on? I wanna post!*
--Camille

 

*Camille! Gosh, I knew it! I told you you wouldn't quit! I'm so SICK of this! Camille, you just wanted attention and praise! You know what? I'm never giving ANYONE who says they're going to quit sympathy or praise or attention EVER AGAIN! Gosh, I HATE this!*
--Daffodility

 

*Yah! I agree with Daffodility! Don't do that!!!*
--lvhamsters

 

Ummm...Camille's been on for a while since she 'quit.'
--Leia

 

Please get on with the story everyone!
--Natalie

 

*Ok then I'm just going to go from Athena's paragraph cause I'm all confuzzled. It's going to be real short so that you guys can IDK continue with it. So anywho* "Come on Gary. You've always been able to come up with good ideas. Try... Please?" Sophie begged. Her eyes were big and pleading.
--Grace

 

*Hi, Camille...you could have easily posted and not started this fight...*
--Athena

 

*Grace, I'm just as confuzzled as you are!* Gary shook his head sadly. Deirdre took a deep breath and stood up. "The Stone." she said, "You must find the Lake of the Gods. It holds the Stone within its depths." Everyone looked at Deirdre, expecting her to lead them to the lake. She sighed and slowly shook her head. "I may not lead you to the lake. I am very sorry." She sat back down on the log. Suddenly, everyone heard snarling from behind them. They all stood up and saw growling, snarling, frothing wolves surrounded them. Then, the wolves turned into young boys.
--Daffodility

 

*I hate being confuzzled* All the boys bowed down to Deirde. She looked slightly flushed but didn't say anything as the stood up. She asked them in a hushed, scared whisper "What are you guys doing here?" Sophie stepped foward confused "What in the world is going on Diane?" Deirde looked down and said "This is my bodygaurd prossicion." Liz raised her eyebrows and stepped foward beside the other girls but with her hand behind her back conected with Vidics. She said "I'm confused. We just learned that you're a princess and now you have bodygaurds?" Deirde nodded and Vidic said "I wish this wasn't so confusing."
--Grace

 

*It's just like our own confuzzled selves...*
--lvhamsters

 

*But I just want to post.... is it that big a deal?*
--Camille

 

*WHY DOES EVERYONE HATE ME!?!? D: D: D:*
--Camille

 

*says is a soothing voice* not everyone hates you Camille so don't worry.*
--Grace
