Who is Andrew? Part 2.

Ok, this is the post that continues with my story. I ended it with Andrew and Erin travelling into the other world. When Andrew lands he is unconscious, and has landed in a pile of hay (lucky for him). he is conscious long enough to see a blurred figure approach him, then he blacks out.
When he wakes up he is in a bed. A girl is with him, and says her name is Tia. She also says they are in the town of Triesta. Andrew had been out all night and Tia is dying to know who he was. when he wakes up, she questions him, but he says that he doesn't remember how he got there. She agrees to take him to some wiseman up in the mountain tribes that she'd heard of. They would need to travel through the forest up to the mountains.
Tia wants to get away herself. she has no family, but works as a servant under the innkeeper. She wants to get away, so happily agrees to show him the way.They sneak away, and journey into the forest. Andrew still can't change at will, but he feels he comes close whilst he's there. Tia shows him how to hunt, and he's a quick learner.
But during their first night in the forest, they are surrounded by a gang of wild men named the hunters. They are dragged away to their camp, but the fear causes Andrew to again become a wolf. The hunters are surprised, as is Tia, but they know of the stories and guess who he is. They decide they must help, but tell of the dark beasts that roam the forests now. It is decided that they must take the longer route, travelling past the Lustrig town and down the river acorn. They send two hunters to accompany them, then send them from the camp.
So the four of them travel towards Lustrig. They are dropped at the end of the forest, and Andrew and Tia move into the town. They find an inn to stay in, and walk out to see the town. They find some food and some stuff for travelling, then wander.
Unfortunately, Andrew falls into a fit, and starts to see another prophecy. When he comes too, Tia is urging him to move,and the towns soldiers are after them. They flee the city, heading towards Long-stead. They turn off towards Bridgeway, hoping to cross the river.
Soon they meet up with Erin. She had, after arriving 4 days after Andrew, landed in the same town. Not really able to understand the locals, and with no idea where Andrew had travelled to, she heads up the coast to the city. There she hears tales of a boy and a girl crossing the country, and were last seen in the town near the forest. She starts heading that way, and surprises them on the path. This causes Andrew to change again, revealin his secret to erin. Together they flee whatever would chase them.
But the darkness that rules won't let them go easily, and sends out a monsterous shadow beast to destroy them. They run to Bridgeway, but as they near it the beast catches up. They head up stream, hoping to cross the water, but it seems impossible.
Then, for one tremendous moment, Andrew feels all his power well up in him, and he lets it out. He becomes a wolf, but is faster, stronger. He attacks the creature, and seriously injures it. It crumbles to dust, and Andrew changes back, dizzy.
Then the threesome travel up to the mountain tribes. They find the wiseman, and find out what Andrew's prophecy means. It meant that another was coming. They are also told that the thing they killed was not yet dead, just banished. It is foretold that the two will come together to overthrow evil.

Thats basically how my story goes. Of course, I'll change it as I go along, and add more to it. There will be more about Andrews relationships between Tia and Erin. Looking at it, I can see that andrew will have some severe girl trouble. He's surrounded by three of them, so that will give him a rocky relationship. Could be interesting. How is your story going to go? Can you comment on mine please? Don't worry about names of towns or anything, they can be changed later.
Tell me what you think!

  1. Right, I'm thinking up this side:
    Jade comes to Ireland because her father has died suddenly from a car crash, and she wants to get away from her stepmother. She goes to live in a small town called Heathcliffe, in a small cat-filled house with her Aunt Gladys. On her first day at school, she meets John, a tall lanky boy who makes very nice tea and works at a local cafe. He tells her of the strange things happening in the school and together they agree to try their best to find out what is going on.
    One day, Jade sees Miss Briggs (the headteacher) walking into the woods surrounding the school. She and John slip out of lessons to follow her, and they reach a clearing. Jade suddenly falls to her knees in a fit, with flashes of fire and wolves and shouting soldiers. She feels a quakeing all over her, and wakes to find John shaking her by the shoulders with a terrified look on his face. They are surrounded by a thick black fog, but with dark reptilian hands reaching towards them (think Dementors cross with death eater haze and you get the idea.). Jade desperately thinks of how to get home, but suddenly finds herself there. She feels danger coming, and has another fit, but this time the flashbacks tell her to run to a nearby stone circle and draw a 5 point star surrounded by a circle in the middle. She gathers some things that she think might be important and tells John that he should stay at his house and not move till she gets back.
    She does exactly what her mind told her; as soon as she draws the symbol, she feels a change rippling through her muscles. She closes her eyes, and she feels like shes been catapulted through the air, with something heavy pressed against her. She falls through the air, and lands in a lake (but doesn't manage to get wet; symbolising her powers with telekinesis). When she reaches the shore, John swims up beside her. He looks even more terrified than before, and both of them have no clue of what is going on.
    They reach a small town (can't remember what you called it) and meet a farmhand boy called Ellis. He offers them shelter in his hut for the night, and over the night, he tells them of the Darkness and how it took the land. Then he tells them of the two that will win over the darkness, and will bring peace to the kingdom. They wake up the next morning to find John vanished. They run around the whole town searching for him, then come back to the hut to find him sleeping peacefully in his bed (this is where the readers may start to get suspicious; tell you more tomorrow.). They grab their things and head to the Heldgrithe Festival Market held in town, where they find wanted posters of 3 teens (Tia, Erin and Andrew). They decide to try and find them, John has a hunch that they might be just as lost as they are.
    Okay. Need pointers for the rest of the story.

  2. Well, the fact that the parents died kind of says about the darkness destroying them. i think you've started it a bit quick, maybe add something before the whole confusing bit. I did post a map but I'm not sure of the names. Go back to the post on history and click the picture. Maybe it wasn't the lake, but the sea, and they washed up near Santiana. The could travel to the city and then maybe they can try the great library in the north. If we meet up we should get these storylines straight and get the map and history finished, so the information is consistant. If one of us says one thing and the other something else then it won't seem as real.
    I think you need to go against the darkness at some point. And whats the suspicious thing about John? Thats quite good, cause it adds mystery and dilemma to your story.

  3. The suspicious thing about John is that he doesn't remember moving at all. I'm thinking that at some point all the characters are trapped, and John is the only one who can help them. He then realises why he didn't remember moving that day. he didn't move at all, he just became INVISIBLE. He has the powers of invisibility and Fire-control. I'm thinking that Andrew and Jade and that are surrounded by The Darkness, and John creates a wall of fire around them to protect them.
    What do you think? No one will be suspecting that!
