see alex? are u now pleased with the spelling? hmm? no, its ok ;) i ALWAYS spell things wrong. its my weak point and i am skitted for it all the time by my supposed 'friends'.
Hellyboy, thanks for the advice;)i think ur right, i should move to another group. I did try but..no other group is into what im into...its all make-up and hair and parties with the other groups. But i suppose my group arn't exactly into what im into all the time.... the other day i wrote a poem. They stole it and were very mean about it (including the spelling) So i think i shall try to move to another group........even if they arent into what i am...thanks for the advice though :)
Now...on with the fan-fic! and here it realllllyyyy heats up....kinda.....yeah...
Israel awoke feeling light-headed and woozy. He groaned and tried to prop himself up so he could take in his surroundings. He was in a dark cell with a green light surrounding it. Opposite his cell, he could just make out Dragona in a cell of his own. He was lying on his back looking up at the celling.
"Don't even bother trying to use magic." he said when he heard Israel stir. "Cells are bound. Green light kinda gives it away."
"Where's Kallista and Skylara?" Israel asked.
A groan to his left signalled that someone was also occupying the cell beside him. "Hello?" shouted Kallista's voice.
"We're here!" Dragona shouted back. "Are you ok? Can you see Skylara anywhere?"
Kallista shook her head to wake herself up. She crawled to the front of her cage and squinted in the darkness.
"I'm fine and no, I can't...wait..." Kallista saw in the cell opposite, a grey wolf with green eyes watching her silently. She had a bandage wrapped tightly around her torso and one of her front paws was badly swollen. When she realised that Kallista was awake, she limped forward and wagged her tail vigorously.
"Skylara!" laughed Kallista, glad to see that her friend was still alive. "Wait..why am I the only one with a green glowish thinggy around my cell?"
"We have it too!" shouted Dragona's voice from her top right. "Why? Hasn't Skylara?"
"No....."
"That's weird..." mumbled Israel. "It's what bounds our cells..."
"That means Skylara can still do magic!" exclaimed Kallista. "Skylara! Quick, change back and get us the hell out of here!"
Skylara's eyes filled with sadness and she whinned unhappily.
"What's wrong?" Kallista asked. "Can't...can't you change?"
Skylara shook her head and howled mournfully.
"Aww! You poor thing!" Kallista gasped. "Was it something they gave you?"
Skylara didn't reply suggesting that she didn't know.
"What's up?" called Israel.
"Skylara can't change. She's stuck in wolf form." Kallista shouted back. "Do you guys know where the hell we ar-?" A loud creak cut Kallista off. Nearing footsteps could be heard in the distance. Dragona sat up to see Skulduggery and three white clevers looking down at him.
"Ahh! I see that our guests have awoken!" he said happily. "Dragona, I hope you slept well."
Dragona spat through the bars at him. "Go to hell." he sneered.
"...Charming." murmered Skulduggery who then turned to Israel. "I hope your above all that Israel, and that you are, at least willing to greet me in a civil manner?"
"Piss off!" Israel snarled viciously.
"My,my, we're all feeling a little tetchy today." he grumbled walking further down the cells. "Oh look! If it isn't the pet dog! If your polite you might just get a treat! Good girl! Sit!" he jeered.
Skylara growled angrily, baring her teeth and just daring him to come closer.
"Leave her alone!" Kallista shouted.
"Oh Kallista, you didn't think that I'd forgotten you did you?" Skulduggery purred, walking towards her cell.
"That's right..." she muttered. "One more step and you'll be close enough for me to kick your boney-ass!"
Skulduggery chuckled. "Kallista, I'd like to see you try. sadly, we just haven't got the time..."
Skulduggery clicked his fingers and the three white clevers moved towards the cells. "Grab them, I'll get the mutt."
The clevers moved forwards and unlocked the cells. Then they moved forward to cuff Israel, Dragona and Kallista. They put up a good fight but they were no match for the clevers superior strength without magic to help them. Skylara limped forward and snapped at Skulduggery's heels. Skulduggery sighed and kicked her in the ribs where he had shot her earlier and she yelped in pain and fell back. He bent down to put a metal chain around her neak but Skylara was determined and dived for his hands. He hissed in anger when she bit him and smacked her hard across the face making her fall unconcious.
"I'll need a muzzle for her when she wakes up." he said to the clever cuffing Kallista as he picked Skylara up. "I never did like dogs."
"Why?" laughed Dragona. "Do dogs always chew on your bones?"
Israel chuckled quietly. "Couldn't you just imagine him running down the street being chased by hungry dogs?"
"I'm considering whether or not to muzzle you two aswell!" growled Skulduggery.
"So your saying that we should just set a bunch of dogs on him the next time we have a battle?" Kallista asked joining in.
"Exactly." Dragona replied, loving how tense Skulduggery now looked.
"Let's go..." Skulduggery muttered to the clever,sounding irritated. "She's waiting."
They arrived at a huge marbel room. The pillars were jet black and the rest of the room was still pretty dark cloured. It was stunning though, like a gothic mansion. But it also felt cold and unwelcoming, like death itself was lurking in the room. At the back of the room was a large throne which seemed to be made of thin black branches. A dark figure wad sitting upon it, dressed in a long purple dress which curled around her.
"My lady...." Skulduggery said bowing lowly.
"These must be our guests," said a vaguly familiar voice. "Allow me to introduce myself..." she said moving into the light making them all gasp in shock. "I am Lady Darquesse, Queen of...well,everything."

Dimentions part 7!
here it is...finally... its a bit short but the next part will be nice and long ;) the next part is where it all kicks off...
"So...anyone got any idea where to start." sighed Sarthacus as they trudged along the path.
"I think we should start to try and find out a bit more about this dimention before we try and escape it." said Aquila thoughtfully.
"I agree..." mumbled Necros to whom everyone listened too as he knew the most about dimentions. "We should see what we're in for here, then we might be able to figure out who can help us...."
Everyone looked around at Nicolette as they heard a bleeping. "Oh...opps." she said apologeticaly. "It's my i-phone." She looked down to cheak her texts. "You have done well. Lead them to the old sanctuary. I shall send some of the others to meet u there. U will be rewarded greatly...Misstress will remember ur loyalty...." Dark Nicolette smiled to herself. "Fools." she thought. "This will be so easy..."
"Who was it from Nicolette?" asked Sarthacus, turning to look at Nicolette's phone.
"Oh, just Flo telling me that they still haven't got anything out of Bone..." she said, quickly shoving the phone back in her pocket. "Hey, why don't we cheak out the Sanctury? There's a good place to start!"
Sarthacus eyed Nicolette up suspiciously but said nothing. "Yeah, what do you guys think?" he said to Aquila and Necros.
"It's as good a place as any..." mumbled Necros. "Let's go!"
Nicolette chuckled quietly as the others lead the way. It was just too easy....
Sorry that bit was a bit boring. BUT the next bit is where it really gets exciting! might post it tomorrow if i have time! BYE!

erm...i lied AND ALSO EPIC STORYYYYYY!
erm..you know i sed the next post would be fan-fic....i lied....sorry. BUT the next post most deffinatly will! and it might even be later 2night!
BUT FIRST! ONE OF THE MOST EPIC STORIES OF MY LIFE HAPPENED YESTERDAY! IT WAS A NORMAL SCHOOL LUNCH TIME........
Me and my 'friends' were sitting down at lunch and eating. Most of the lunch hall was empty exept for us and a few teachers at it was nearly time for last lesson. One girl always steals my stuff, so that day, when i wasnt looking, she stole my lunch box and passed it under the table to the others. Then i saw a boy run off with it. so, naturely i ran after him. the teachers (luckily ones who know all of my 'group' told him to give it back. reluctantly, he did so.
BUT as i returned to my place, i found everything else was gone. even the box of fruit i was eating. so i looked at everyone laughing at me and i looked under the table. about 17 of them were all passing it under the table to eachother. i struggled to get it back for a few minutes but failed miserably.
THEN A BOY RAN OFF WITH MY PANDA HAT! that was the final straw......
i looked around to see a girl eating MY box of fruit so i snatched the fork off her, grabbed the boy with the panda hat and said "Ok! everyone give it all back now or i kill him."
They all said "DO IT! DO IT!" and laughed at my red face(my face is almost always red,sadly). id forgotten that no one really liked him.
So i let him go, and said "Ok...you have until the count of three to give everything back. 1...2...3."
None of them moved. so i sighed, and grabbed a girl (who i dislike rather a lot as she said she wanted me to die behind my back) around the neck and pointed the fork at her neak.
"Give it all back. Or she gets it." i said calmly.
They all went deadly silent but then they all laughed and then i felt a hand on my shoulder.
"Put...the fork down..." said one of the three teachers surrounding me. everyone was crying with laughter at this point exept for the girl who i had around the neak.
feebily i gave the tacher the fork and spluttered for a moment. "they...they took my stuff...." i said weakly. and then i burst out laughing. everyone else was too. Luckily the teachers knew me and knew how good i am in class so they just rolled their eyes and told everyone to give the stuff back.
after about five minutes i had everything back exept the half eaten box of fruit. the tachers told everyone to stand up. everyone did, exept a boy who likes to annoy me ALOT calle alastair.
"alastair!" said my maths teacher. "what have you done."
alastair chuckled to himself and slowly stood up. below his shirt, was my box of fruit.
miss took it and turned to me.
"erm...im not sure if you want this..." she said sympatheticly.
"Just put it in the bag..." i said struggling not to laugh.
in spanish my maths teacher came in and everyone said she was gonna take me to anger managerment. luckily, she didnt, coz im one of her favs. BUT if it had been different teachers there i could have been suspended. also my history teacher honestly looked like she thought i was a little insane.
I. CANNOT. BELIEVE. I. DID. THAT.
And that...is my story.

Just a Little post about some stuff.
Hello all!
First of all i would just like to wish DRAGONA PINE A VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Happy birthday Dragona, if any of you want to leave dragona a birthday message i suggest you go to kallista's blog where she has a whole post dedicated to him. or, of course you could do the same as me and post something on ur own blog :)
Second of all...i have just reccived some very sad news......HELLBOY'S BROTHER ISNT GOING TO DO MY DRAWING!!!!!
ALSO HE'S NOT GOING TO DO SARTHACUS'S, DARKANE'S, AQUILA'S OR NICOLETTE'S!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
so, as you can tell i am deeply upset by this BUT i do understand. Louis had loads of homework and exams so he has no time to draw them. Hellboy, if your reading this then please wish louis good luck from me on his exams and also that i'd STILL better have a part in your story or....there are gonna be consequences.
so has anyone got any reccomendations for artists who would just love to draw skylara for me? Maybe someone who takes in chzracter descriptions and trys to draw them? any suggestions would be a big help as i REALLYYY want a drawing of Skylara and:
A. I can't draw
B. I'm not going to ask the 3 people in my 'group' who actually can draw becuase two of them said behind my back that they want me to go and kill myself and the other is a spoilt, arty, girly,perfect superstar who has a mean attitude.
C. I don't know anyone in my family who can draw or who would be willing too.
so yeah, any help would be appriciated.
Also i am feeling kinda ill (got a cold) but im also feeling kinda festive today! so i would like too know what all of YOU guys are asking for for christmas. Not your whole list (ovs) but just some of the main things your gonna ask for.
I'll start: I'm asking for a realllyy cool profesional camera so i can get into photography and take loads of pictures of wildlife :D it's gonna be my first camera but its also a really expensive cool one so im VERY excited.
Finally, I shall post some more of my fan-fic soon but for me (as im sure is is for you) im piled full of homework. im sure you all are. For some reason this year the teachers are clamping down hard and the stress is getting to me. I got 98% on a history test (and im not that good at history) and a really rubbish mark on my english (my best subject) so my world's kinda turning upside down.
so im not sure how long it will be, but dont worry, ill still be on dereks blog and reading your fan-fics! i'm a little addicted to be honest ;)
peeaceee outtt!

It’s how you play the game
John walked in to find Sherlock in the corner of the room standing on his head. Now, John was quite used to Sherlock’s unusual behaviour but this was beyond his usual abnormality.
“Err…Sherlock,” John started. “Why are you standing on your head?”
“I’m bored.” he replied calmly.
“Oh, well I’ve got something that might cheer you up. Mycroft call-“
“No.” interrupted Sherlock.
“But you just said you wer-“
“No. “
“But you haven’t even-“
“No. Anything to do with Mycroft is a complete waste of time.” He groaned.
“Oh, and standing on your head isn’t?”
Sherlock glared at him and got up to dust himself off. “Any case that Mycroft gives me is mind-numbingly dull. I could solve them in my sleep.”
“You never know, this one could be different.” John handed him the file. Sherlock flicked it open and glanced briefly at the pages. After a minute or two he closed the file and looked at John.
“It’s a murder?” he said trying not to sound interested.
“Mmmm.”
“Well,” Sherlock said stretching. “I could have a brief look but I’m telling you it’s going to be just too easy.”
*************************************************
They arrived at a large Tudor mansion surrounded by deformed trees of every shape and size. The trees towered over the mansion giving it a dark and overall more sinister look.
“Well, this looks homely.” muttered Sherlock as they rang the doorbell. The door was opened by a small, elderly woman in a maid’s outfit.
“Oh, you must be the detectives.” She said smiling sadly at them. “You’d better come in.”
The maid led them through to the lounge where they found a man who looked to be in his late thirties dressed in a police uniform.
“Oh, how do you do?” he said in a gruff voice. “I’m Sergeant Jefferson and I’ve been sent here to help.”
Sherlock sighed. “I don’t need help, when will my brother get that into that thick skull of his?”
John coughed from behind him.
“Oh…err, I me WE don’t need any help…Anyway Sergeant, can you fill us in?”
Jefferson stood up a little straighter when Sherlock addressed him, almost as if he was trying to look a bit more useful.
“Well, Mr. Bane’s body was found at the bottom of the stairs last night by Mrs. Wills; however we believe that he may have been moved there from a different room. I found no evidence of a break-in and have concluded that the only possible suspects were those within the house at the time.”
John couldn’t shake the feeling that something here felt familiar. Not in the sense that he’d been here before but….
“May we see the suspects?” asked Sherlock interrupting John’s thoughts.
Jefferson led them through to the conservatory where six people were waiting for them. One was the maid but the others were unfamiliar.
“May I introduce you to Professor Peach, Colonel Carlton, Miss. Starlet, Reverend Wilson, Miss. Peters and you’ve already met Mrs. Wills.” Jefferson said, indicating to each as he said their names.
John gawped at them. Then he started to chuckle quietly.
“You’re having a laugh!” he exclaimed.
“John, what are you talking about?” Sherlock asked.
“Professor Peach?! Miss. Starlet?! Come on Sherlock, you must see it too? I thought cluedo would be right up your street!”
“John, I’m afraid I have no idea what you are talking about.” Sherlock replied.
“Cluedo Sherlock! The board game? You must have played it as a kid!”
“I never played board games as a child; I had much more important things to do.”
John looked hopefully at Jefferson.
“Sorry,” he said. “I was more of a sports lad.”
“Jefferson,” Sherlock said while John stared at them in disbelief. “May we examine the body?”
*****************************************************
Sherlock looked down at the body of Mr. Bane. Even just by glancing at the body he knew that this murderer had been messy. There were clues everywhere.
“God I hate the stupid murderers.” He muttered angrily. “Why can’t they make things more exciting?”
“Sherlock, it’s a murder. “ John sighed. “People don’t usually describe it as…exciting.”
Sherlock wasn’t listening. He looked down at Mr. Bane’s head. There was a large dent in it but also there seemed to be some blue chalk.
“I wonder…”
Sherlock strode over to the bookcase and scanned along until he found what he was looking for. He looked over the cover and smiled to himself.
“Done.” He said walking back towards the conservatory.
“W-what?” John stammered. “You’ve only been in here two minutes.”
“More than enough time.” He shouted back.
*****************************************************
“Are you done?” Jefferson asked sounding surprised.
“Yes, now can we hurry this along, I’ve wasted enough time on this case already.” Sherlock groaned.
“Wait, don’t tell me.” John said grinning. “It was Professor Peach, in the library, with the candlestick!”
“How dare you!” Professor Peach boomed.
“Well done John!” Sherlock said patting him on the back.
“What? I was right?”
“No. Completely wrong. Anyway, the murderer must have been playing billiards with Mr. Bane in the billiard room. I know this because of the blue chalk I saw on his head. When the murderer touched the weapon they left a blue smudge on it. I have this weapon here with me now.” He said, holding up a large book.
“The bible?” gasped Jefferson.
“Reverend, if you’re as stupid as I suspect you won’t have changed your gloves. Hold out your hands.”
Reluctantly the Reverend held out his hands. Everyone gasped as they saw blue chalk on them.
“Arrest him.” Sherlock sighed.
“But why Reverend?” asked the colonel.
“Oh who cares?” Sherlock groaned turning towards the door. “Something stupid like that he wanted his money, all you idiot criminals are the same.” And with that he walked out.

“Ok,” admitted John when they’d reached the car. “You were right, it was a boring case. Well for you anyway.”
“John,” Sherlock said looking him in the eye. “You must have learnt by now that I am always right.”
