Chapter 1: A invitation

My story starts in a everyday town ...New York to be exact. It also starts in a everyday time .. Ours to be exact. Also as you might guess it starts with your every day average boy . He was not depressed nor was he happy somewhere in between . Not yet , Had he found he destiny . Although i doubt he had any idea what it was .... Jake winters is his name he lives in a apartment all alone everyday just like that . I could bore you with his life details but i think its best to just get right to the point . One night April 6th , He was sleeping as we all do . And unlike all of us he was awaken to a loud sound coming from his closet .
Jake: What the heck is that.... ( he stood up out of his bed)
Jake walked over to the closet door , He had no idea what to make of this not only was there a sound emitted from under the door but also a very bright light .. But Jake felt no down side to opening the door because he thoughts this was all just a dream . He grasped the door handle it stung .. but in a good way at least to him it was a good way. HE turned the nob . He didn't even remember fully getting the door open before .everything went black.
His stomach turned he felt as if he was falling the air slipped in and out of his toes he was just wearing his pajama pants and a t-shirt after all. HE felt so peaceful . He never wanted to wake up what in his life could be better then this new feeling of dreaming . Jake had not dreamed since he was very little so it felt brand new to him . Falling for what seemed like hours didn't bore or scare him at all . but like all good things it did not last it came to a thud as he hit the ground. He felt this landing with every muscle in his body but he didn't break anything. Now the room was dark and very very cold. He didn't like this not at all . It felt like home , Chats what scared him so much.
Jake called out to the darkness "hello, Is anybody here" Jake knew if this was a dream anybody he wanted was there I guess he just had nobody to call on This struck him deeply .Why was all these thoughts coming to him now he never thought about this when he was awake. He couldn't explain why but he began to cry. after the first tear slid down his face and onto the floor the very place where it landed turned blue and lit a path..Jake thought to himself my tears show me where I should go sorrow is my map.. Jake followed the little blue lines as they withered through the floor. up until he heard a strange sound one i cant explain with words....After he heard this he opened his eyes.. They had been closed the whole time the room was not dark nor was it cold how can my vision trick my body so easily Jake thought to himself . Also he noticed he was not alone thousands of others were walking in the room with there eyes closed also . Slowly some of them opened there eyes others just kept walking around blinded by fear he supposed he wanted to just go up to them and yell into there face wake up from this dream your eyes are closed you can see do it already. But he felt maybe that's a choice they should make on there own . Jake walked around now his eyes open. Nobody talked to anyone he knew that if he was able to talk to others then they could at least try so it must be by choice they decide to walk silent ..hmm. the room once again turned black to him . this time Jake felt his face his eyes were open this was real. A bright light from the far end of the room appeared like a door opening in the dark while light came from the inside of the doors room . HE saw some strange shadows coming form the room then he saw monsters The scariest monster he had ever seen. And he was truck with fear he couldn't move the others ran around for safety but they were too late They were eaten and or drug away by these beast the floor was almost completely red >Jake closed his eyes but saw right through them he couldn't shield himself from this terror . once the room had gone silent and all was left dead but him he stood alone once again..waiting to wake up .. but it will never happen because the real nightmare was this is the truth .. all the blood creep into the door that had opened until nothing could be seen ...The room once more became light and to Jakes surprise everybody was fine
Jake: what is going on what just happened . He murmured with the others
That's when a a huge being not a man nor a monster stepped into the room he had a crown on his head ..A king he must be a king.....he must
The king stepped out from behind the door
King: I know you must all be feeling a little strange right now
Some guy from the crowd: Strange , yeah what is going on i swear i just saw everybody die..Now were here..
King:in all your eyes you saw death but in all your eye's you saw life your own life..
A invitation Part 2


Jake was at a loss for words and ideas for what was going on . He knew that this could no longer be a dream ,to be stupid enough to think that something so real was just his mind would be ignorant . The crowd did not look to happy most looked miserable and or upset . However Jake did see one boy who rather happy , Stunning so . He had a head band on and had no hair . He walking around with a big smile on his face . Jake would guess he was about 16 years old or so . Judging by his height that was . The boy Jake looked at was about 5 ft 11 or so . Jake was just 5 ft 9 kinda on the short side for a 16 year old . After gathering enough guts , Jake headed off towards the kid . Jake figured that this kid must know what is going on since he looks so happy . As Jake treadled towards the other boy . The being with the crown started up a speech . Jake felt compelled to listen to this being , Like he had no choice .
King: my name is Thylo I am the creator and ruler of the land of Parchin , I know this room must be flooded with unspoken questions and thoughts .... However i can only answer one of them....I can tell you why you are here.

The room was intrigued with this and was more then willing to hear the kings answer .

King : you are here because long before you or your parents parents were born , One of your ancestors made a oath to give you to me if I ever needed you , Well i need you now more then i ever would . My world is falling to the darkness only one of you will stop this evil ... I do not know which one of you i just know it is one of you.. You are all now in my army your rank is gida this is not just a rank but a honor , And this is not just a war but a test ...may all of be cautioned with healthy fear and may all of you be brave ...

The room went dark for the last time.......

Sorry I did not think about if this was a double post this would not fit i the first post please do not give me a infraction
Chapter 2

Drafted


The sound of thunder could be3 heard all around . As well as the sound of scared chatter. Jake had regained awareness of were he was . He was in a room with metal walls , It had no door or windows . Jake was not really sure how he had gotten into this room. He felt sick like the feeling you get when you get on a roller coaster . Sitting in this small metal room with him was three other boys . First there was the bald kid with a head band happy as ever, also was a pair of twins each with blond hair and wore some kind of jacket it was brown wand made of the same stuff a potato bag is made of . However one had blue eyes and the other had green eyes . The blued eyed boy started to cover his mouth as if he was about the barf .

Bald kid : Hey don't even there is no vents in this box and if you puke The smell will be rank so keep it in your body.

The blue eyed boy nodded in agreeing and swallowed what was going to come out.

Green eyed kid : uggh that's just as gross ..Freaking sick

Jake turned towards the bald kid

Jake: where are we, Actually better yet what are we doing here.
Bald kid: hmm some way to introduce yourself , let me help you out with that my name is turret around this area and this is (turret pointed to the two other kids)
Green eyed kid:Blade
Blue eyed kid: slash
Turret: and you are ?
Jake:My names Jake
Turret: great now that we have all that settled , we are in a big box as you can see i think that's about all anyone could tell you about this situation i cant tell you for sure where we are going but i can tell you we are going down falling to be exact.
Jake: falling? what are talking about
Turret: you cant feel that inside your body your stomach turning and twisting we are free falling in a box exciting huh
Jake: NO WE will die when we land no way can you survive a fall this far up we have been falling for at least 12 minutes
Turret: No about a hour actually you were passed out there for a while but don't worry i doubt that the Spirits would bring you all the way out here if they wanted to kill you in a free throw drop...

Jake looked very worried ..SLAM they had falling now Jake was sure of it they had hit the ground for sure .

Turret: look Jake we are alive be proud..

Jake was far from proud he was scared blade and slash stood up just as blade got on his feet he puked all over the floor
Turret: Damn it what did I tell you
Blade: I could not help it ,
They all covered there face with there hands and Jake covered his with his shirt. The boxes wall began to change color form gray to blue once the walls was dark blue they began to just fade away until they found them self in a forest with huge trees bigger then any Jake had ever sen back on earth. The sky was black and the ground was covered with green grass everywhere the wind was blowing cool breezes on there face and the odor of the puke faded with the wind.
Blade : Now what ?
The exact question Jake was wondering to himself
Turret: we find or make weapons
slash: we!!?
Turret: Yes We!! WE were sent here together as a team so WE will work together as a team
Jake stood back as the three argued over pointless things. He headed off a little into the forest taking in the surroundings. It was peaceful but not enough for Jake to get over this shocking set of events . Jake looked into a puddle that had formed on the ground . To be honest Jake had not looked at himself in so very long he just lost track of his self image. As he looked into the puddle he saw himself he had black hair and and one ear was a little shorter then the other as well as his nose being a little more pointed then most . All these imperfections meant nothing to Jake . Jake had gotten past the shallow border of looks and now was in the sharp edge of actions. He put his hands in the water to rinse of the sweat that had formed in his palms while he was in the box .Got on his knees and rinsed away the body soil he heard something is wasnot the faint argument going on behind him nor was it your typical forest sounds it was a person walking . Jake looked around and found no one he stared at his enviroment for a while until he gave up and just marked it off as a dilussion . He turned around and found blad and slash tied to a tree trunk
Jake: what is going on why are you tied to a tree?
Blade and slash both were knocked out each with a red mark on there forhead
Jake whent over to the tree to untie them
A voice: dont touch them or you will join them
Jake looked around for the person who had said that but found nothing..
This happened during the same time as Chapter 2 Jakes viewpoint after Turret had dissapered from Jake

Turret slamed his hand in the dirt
Turret: Damn it .. I should had watched there back better now i have to waste time finding an antidote instead of saveing the world.
Turret was climbing up a tree he had found in the forest . He was looking for a leaf that he was once told could cure any posion . He knew what to look for just not were to look for it . It was going to be small and blue and atached to a tree it had little vains in it and whe you cut it it would spill red . At least thats what Turret was told by his trainer . The guy who had got him all pumped up for this journey. Turret got to the top of the tree and looked around for the the little blue leaf but found nothing .
Turret : where is that stupid flower
A voice : its a leaf
Thrash looked down to where the voice had come from there was a girl . Dressed in red robes with red hair .
Turret: how would you know what i am looking for huh ?
Girl : I just do ,
turret luaghed at the ignorance he saw in her
turret : ok little girl where is this leaf if your so great
Girl : iam older then you and my names not little girl it kirsten oh and it right there
Kirsten reached her arm sidewase and exstended her finger
she pointed to the little blue leaf.
turret growled and climed down the tree to the girl
Turret: I knew it was a leaf just said flower
Kirsten: I know
Turret shook his head he had already failed himself once this just was not his day . Now stange girls were showing him up . Girl he corrected his thouhts .
Kirsten followed behind Turret as he walked to get the leaf .
Turret turned and faced her as if to say go away
Kirsten : Violence
Turret : So your from The phoenix villiage
Kirsten : yep you visited us and beat up my borther you wouldnt tell us your name so we named you violence
Violence: yep , I remeber
Kirsten walked away
Violence: where are you going ?
Kirsten : your sick friends are this way not that way
Violence turned his head and walked to kirsten
Violence: I knew that i just wanted to see if anything was following us
Kirsten: no you didnt you just didnt know where you were going .
Kirsten smiled and headed to Blade and mech
Violece shook his head in anger and mumbled to himself
Kirsten skipped along the grass as she walked
Violence : why do you do that
Kirsten : Becuase it keeps me happy truast me you like me better when i am happy
Violence : how did you ...
Kirsten : i know what you mean becuase can feel your thoughts .
Violence could tell that this would get old fast. Kirsten skipped along down the path . violence followed behind her .
Violence : i dont remeber walking this far away from them .
Kirsten: well you did
violence saw blade and mech tied up ahead . He was wrong for a third time . He kept track just becuase he needed to know he was wrong . Kirsten walked over to the boys and bit into the leaf then spit on them .
Kirsten : ok give it about 5 minutes they should recover just fine
Violence : I could have doen that my self
Kirsten : but i beat you to it
Vioence walked over to another tree acorss from the boys and sat there aiting for the to wake up .....
End Chapter 2 Turret viewpoint
The paper game Chapter 2 Part 2

Jake looked around for the person but found nothing. The voice presisted
Voice: They are fine just leave
Jake look all around
Jake: Why would i trust some body that will not even show them selfs to me
jake turned aound and there She was the voice you could since a female tone in it . she was taller then jake like everybody else and was wearing the strangest loking clothes jake had eer seen on anybody Mostly just leaves covering her upper body but some sort of wood covering her to shins she had a spear with split edges .
Jake: where is Turret ?
Girl: The Kid with no hair ?
Jake: Yes the kid with no hair
Girl : hes gone
Jake: what ! gone as in what
Girl: As in gone
Jake kept his eyes locked on the girl as he back up from her towards the tree that blade and mech had been tied to .
Girl: I said dont touch them
Jake: you never told me why i shouldnt
Girl: they are covred in posion
Jake: Posion ?
The girl walked over near the two boys and picked up a frog like thing that was hopeing around them she held it near Blades face and the Animal freaked out .
Jake: ok so the frog whent crazy whats your point
Girl : its not a frog its a Gillo , And its doing that becuase it smells the posion on them
Jake: there not dead though
Girl : if we dont get my mother down here fast they will be
Jake stood there for a moment thinking about the problem to much had happened at one time or him to comprehend it all mothers,gillos, Posion
it was all to much.
Jake : I am going to belive you against my better instincs lets go get her .
Girl: follow me they will be fine nobody with brains would touch them right now .
The girl headed off into the forest the question of where turret had gone lingered in the back of jakes mind . Jake ran to keep of with the girl , She was fast .
Girl: Navas ....
Jake: what ?
Navas : my name is navas i knew you would ask me sooner or later so i figured id tell you now .
Jake : jake
Navas: odd name
Jake: not where i come from
They continued through the forest Jake didnt have any shoes on so his feet burned from all the sticks and rocks he stepped on as he looked down onhis feet he noticed Navas didnt have any shoes on either . Now that he thought about it nobody had shoes on . Turret blade mesh none of them had shoes on ...They kept going Jake also started to relize he never felt weak the air felt more potenet and all his breathes were longer .
Navas : can you swim ?
Jake : a little ot uch i guess why ?
Navas i live in the water ?
Jake: How do you breath ?
Navas: breath ?
Jake: you know breath ( jake huffed in some air as a example)
Navas: I dont , I cant thats creepy dont do it in front of me again
Jake: I have been breathing since you met me
The girl ran up ahead to a small lake and jumped in . Jake just stood there
he knew he couldnt hold his breath for a long time . So he waited for her to come up but after about 4 minutes nothing . Standing outside the water he heard a loud growl comeing from behind. He didnt bother turning around becuase he knew he would not like what ever it was instead he jumped in the water and he, He had his eyes closed becuase of the moss in the water . he just swishes downward with one hand straigh out wanting to touch the gound but he never did. He couldn feel any anxiety to breath either it was like he could hold his breath forever . As he pondered this to himself . Some thing grabbed his hand . Te shock made him opend his eyes . He could see perfec just like on the land . But as he opened his eyes voices poured into his head. None of them sounded familiar to him just random sounds .He relized what had grabbed him was Navas
Navas: follow me
Jake could here her perfectly , jake didnt want to opened his mouth to talke though so instead he just followed her . There was weeds with bubbles in the roots growing everywhere no ground could be seen . there was snakes like creatures with gaps in there tail and no fish. The water was like the land nothing different or special . This thought kinda worried jake , He thought to himself maybe what ever was on land could come in here to . A small cave became visible ahead he could tell that was were navas was going . SO he followed Her . It looked to be miles from where they were.
End Chapter 2


The Paper Game Chapter 3 Part 1

Chapter 3 The Hidden ,The Found , The Forgotten

By this point in time , Jake was just along for the ride, none of this new and strange stuff that was happening to him was shocking anymore. Plus he knew he looked like a dope when at every turn he would be all WOW holy crap amazing and stuff . As he and Navas swam towards the cave he decided instsead it was in his best interest to just get use to it all. They reached the cave sooner then Jake had expected them to. As they entered the cave there was a shield like barrier that dryed them off as they entered . The cave was still underwater but not in the water . Navas motioned for Jake to follow her so Jake did.
Jake: So you live here Navas ?
Navas : Somedays yes , Others I just go around but since the great evil I feel confined to just smaller areas of my home.
Jake : so this Evil is litteraly everwhere isnt it ?
Navas : Yes

Jake and Navas headed into the base of the cave , It spilt off into two other directions one on the left one on the right . Each with tunnels that you couldnt see the end of . Navas headed down the Left tunnel Jake followed behind her . As they walked down the tunnel Jake studied the walls, and there was glowing blue writing all over them. Some of it was just an unknown language to Jake other parts of it was pictures and kind of easy to decipher . As he got further in to the cave he noticed the wall was startiung to make new writings.

Jake: The wall is making those writings on its own .

Navas: yes it records are history one day you will be on there .

Jake: what do you mean one day i'll be on there.

Navas : well its about for years behind in the story of liveing so give it a while and one day this very event of a strange boy who breathes will be written on the wall some where in here.

Jake: how is there enough room to keep recording history

Navas: There are somethings we just dont ask because there not important and you will waste your life thinking about them .

Jake : um, ok then

They got another Left turn in the tunnel , Navas turned into it . Now they seemed to be going down into the ground. Jake saw a light flickering ahead looked like fire but it was a green light . They made it to the end of the room and found a young women siting on the floor she was very pretty she had leafs on as well and was sitting bent on her knees . She had red hair and was holding a stick.
Navas : Mother, We have come to seek your aid .Two strangers are sick in the woods I am sure you seance them.
Jake: Mother ? This girl is like 4 years younger then you
Navas: shut up , Mother do you seance them
Navas's Mother : I did since them but no longer can I
Navas: are they dead?
Navas's Mother : No they walk once agian among the living .
Navas: mother can you please open a door to there footing
Navas's Mother lifted her hand in the air the green flame flickered very fast and steady until it was just a single flame . The women put her hand on the floor now and the room began to flood
Jake: um , Is this supose to happen
Navas: I said Shut up.
Jake stood back a little as the floor began to fill with water he stood up on the first step that they had walked into the room on until the water reached his toes it was very hot but it did not burn him
Navas: get in the water now
Jake stepped into the water it was soon up to his waste and then his neck . As soon as it hit the top of his head he was in the forest again next to a tree that Turret was sitting under.
Jake:woah That was awsome
Turret got up from being startled and stood up next to Jake
A girl walked over to Jake and shook his hand
Girl : Hey my names kirsten
Kirsten walked over toNavas who had been standing next to Jake and shook her hand and Said
Kirsten: Hi my names kirsten
Turret: Ok kirsten they get it your names kirsten leave them alone
Jake looked over to blade and mech they were both just wakeing up .
Jake: Blade, Mech, your ok.
Blade : damn you mech i said dont touch the thing
and what do you do, you touch it
Jake: touch what ? what did you touch
Mech : It was....
Kirsten : a stige , Its comparable to a human dog
Turret : do you ever shut your mouth like ever
Jake sat and listened to blade and mech talk about this dog thing while Navas crept off and away into the forest by the time Jake was done hearing about this stige He found Navas was no where near them
Kirsten : she whent back home
Jake: how did you
Kirsten : know that you were lookinf for Navas, Becuase i can feel you crying out her name in your thoughts.
Turret : trust me jake this will get anoying really fast it already bugs the crap out of me
Kirsten : violence , Be calm you are always so angry
Jake: violence ?
Turret/ Violence : thats what they call back where shes from
He pointed over to Kirsten
Jake : honestly guy i dont know what to call you
Guy: Guy will work
Jake helped Blade and mech off the ground .....
To be continued
I know its short but i will make it up with three parts and the other two will be longer.
They got up and began to leave........


Back on earth Jake worked at a Mini-Market. The Markets name was Quick Out . Jake was a manager he got the job because his friend was the owner. Jake hated this Job so much , Every day arrogant people would come in with their high and mighty attitudes and walk around like they rules the world . Jake would blow it off most of the time . However just before this whole adventure had started , about three days before Jake was at work. Overlooking his "kingdom" when a couple of kids had come in they both looked very much alike . They could had been twins , They both had black hoodies on they were both blonde and they both were about thirteen years old . Jake would have just looked at them as they came in and went on with the day . But he had a strange feeling about the two of them. So because of his instincts he watched them as they walked about the store. Keeping his distance, Jake watched everything they did . He watched them walk up and down the eiles , they picked up a few items set them back down . Nothing really happened though. The left the building and Jake headed back to his office in the rear of the store. On his way back one of his employees came up to him .
Employee: Hey Jake !
Jake turned back to her and look at her .
Employee: We are missing over three hundred dollars of stocked alcohol , It must have been stolen sometime recent because the stock books were checked about twenty minutes ago.
Jake sighed and looked at the floor
Jake: I will deal with it thank you Tonya for letting me know
Tonya: Are you ok Jake?
Jake: yeah I am fine I got to go look up something.
Tonya walked off back to work , Jake must have not seen the thief because he was watching the two kids . From that point Jake decided it was best to leave his thoughts out of work...........

Kirsten Kept arguing with Guy and Blade and Mech talked about there home . Jake felt alone he had nobody to argue with or discuss his home life to . He barely knew Navas but he already missed her.
Guy: where are we going , We have been just walking in this direction for about three hours with no reason why .

Kirsten: I am headed to the Jackolite city , I don’t know about you guys
Blade : Jakolite city sound sweet .
Mech : Umm sounds stupid
Kirsten : come if you want leave if you don’t .
Jake : I think we should go there to I can’t explain why , We just should
Guy : people dont like me much there but who cares about that I am in .
Kirsten: do you piss everybody off you meet .
Guy: most everybody yeah
Kirsten: Uh whatever
Jake walked up to Kirsten who was currently in the front .
Kirsten: hey what’s up .
Jake: can you take us to this city .
Kirsten: that’s what I have been doing we are almost there , Just need to pass the big dragon and hoard of the undead .
Jake: What!
Kirsten: just joshing you
Jake: ok so then how far are we
Kirsten: we are here
Jake looked up at that remark there was a line in the sky that changed the lighting from light to dark . On the dark side of the line there was a huge cave entrance in the shape of a Jack-O-Lantern in its mouth lied the path to the city. There was flames in the Jack-O-Lanterns eyes and the door was only about 4 feet high everybody would have to duck to get in . It looked abandoned because there was cobwebs all over it but the flames indicated the presence of immediate peers .
Mech: I am not going in there.
Blade: yeah ill wait out here with him
Guy: Wimps,
Kirsten: well suit yourselves lets go Jake
Guy: hey what about me?
Kirsten: you can come too.....
Kirsten Smiled at Guy and headed on in the city ducking under the stone entrance. Jake followed after giving Guy a look of confusion.
Guy grumbled his way up , Out of his rage and lack of focus he hit his head on the stone Entrance .

End Part 2 of Chapter 3


Ok ill make 4 parts.... I just ran out of time..

Good start and I only read a portion because I think you should correct the grammar first then repost it. You're missing a lot of commas which makes me just run on with the sentence and it makes less sense than it would have with the comma.

Start a new paragraph with this:


One night April 6th

Since the sentence before that was kind of a transition.


But jake felt no down side to opening the door becuase he thoughts this was all just a dream

Consider revising the beginning part about the "no downside to opening the door" - I know what you mean, but it doesn't fit. Maybe saying that "he thought it was just a dream so he went ahead and opened the door" might work, but it's just a suggestion.


but in a good way atleast to him it was a good way

Just end that, "in a good way" - the rest isn't necessary imo. Or add a comma after that part.


He didnt even remeber fully getting the door open before .evrything went black.

Not sure what you were trying to say. But maybe "Before he could fully open the door, everything went black/dark" ?


His stumach turned he felt as if he was falling the air sliped in and out of his toes he was just waering his pajama pants and a t-shirt after all.

I have no revisions for that, but definitely try to word it properly. As a reader, you would lose me here.


Jake had not dreamed since he was very little so it felt brand new to him

Has* not. Since he was "young*" (saying very little means very little imo).


I read through the next few sentences and got completely lost. At first it was like he wasn't dreaming, then he was and it was new to him, and then he wasn't dreaming again.

It's a good start but you still have some work to do. To keep the interest of your readers, especially if you want them to provide constructive criticisms, you should fix up the grammar and spelling a bit more and resubmit. It'll help the critics focus more on the story and maybe even the syntax and content of the story rather than the commas and misplaced periods.

Keep it up! It's good to keep writing.

thanks man , I just fixed all the errors on the first post , and my friend is the real writer he writes all the time . You can expect his story to be more grammatically correct .
