Okay! So I tried to submit this, but I have NO idea how to post literature on this website!
So I thought I would post this on my journal. :-)

I don't usually do stories, but It was an English project I was assigned.
The project was to do a inner monologue for a character you developed. I already had a character so all I had to do was put a story to it!
This is Puck's first real adventure in discovering the humans, this is also where he finds his arm band.
This was the beginning of Puck's many adventures with the humans.

I'm also not a great writer, so don't hate me cause it's not well written. :-)
Enjoy!



 It sure is a peaceful tonight, thought Puck. He was sitting on a rock while looking over the vast ocean that laid before him, he then tilted his head upwards to gaze upon the heavens. Even the sky is totally clear, not a cloud in sight! This is all so peaceful, but I should probably head back before mom and dad get too worried, he said to himself as he turned his head int the direction of his home. Puck was only a couple of miles away from his home isle, and being the fast swimmer he is, he could easily make up the time. His tail tapped the ocean as he prepared to dive; but out of the corner of his eye he spotted something moving through the moonlit waters.

     He quickly turned his body around so that he could get a better glimpse at the mysterious object. He looked again and realized that the mysterious object was in fact a small sail boat. Puck quickly plunged into the waters to avoid being seen, but soon came to the surface to get another look at the sail boat. Puck's mind began to ponder, what is such a small sail boat doing all the way out here at this time of night? Most sirens, who like Puck have yet to master their mesmerizing song and lack the proper claws for battle, would take this opportunity to flee into the depths for protection. For Puck however, where fear should reign curiosity has already preformed a revolt and taken power, so without a second thought he started swimming toward the mysterious vessel. As he followed the ship he made sure to keep his presence a secret. My parents always warned me to not let a human see me, he thought to himself as a helpful reminder, for you never know what they would do if they ever spotted you.

    He followed the ship for about an hour, always remaining in the ships shadow while his mind ran wild, Puck couldn't help but begin to think about where the mysterious ship might be leading him. Maybe he's taking me back to his home island, or to a secret treasure cove, full of jewels and gold! Granted I don't really care where we go ,I just love exploring! Five minutes later, Pucks questions were answered. Pucks' head then gently broke through the surface of the water, he saw that the tiny ship had set dock at a merchants isle.  

    Puck gazed over the island, he saw the lighted windows of the many houses, and the humongous stone gateway which led to the islands' market place. The most notable thing in his eyes was a great windmill which lay in the center of the island, and from it shone a beacon of light which appeared to shine across the vast ocean. Puck was amazed at the spectacle,as could be told by his gaping mouth. His amazement was unfortunately cut short, for he quickly dove back under the water, for he began to hear movement aboard ship. Can't let myself be seen...he reminded himself as he began to back away from the ship. When he reached a safe distance of a couple of feet, he decided to get a better look at the mysterious boat at which he followed. Slightly peering out of the water, he gazed and saw that the boat was only manned by one person. He was a tall, brutish, sailor man with long black hair in a pony-tail. Puck watched as the sailor gathered together some items in his a rather large bag. Tossing the bag over his shoulders, the man set off the boat and began to walk towards the Islands market. What the sailor didn't notice though, was that something had fallen out of his bag as he was lifting it onto his shoulders, luckily Puck noticed it. After the man was out of sight, Puck pulled himself onto the ship, and began to look around. He was always amazed at the humans, but know he had a reason to be. Puck was as awe-struck as he saw all the strange objects in the strangers boat. Wow! He gasped, Look at all this stuff! He picked up a fishers net, Do they use this to catch fish? He pondered in his head. I don't see how they could catch anything with this thing, look at all the holes in it! As he was lifting the large net, he heard a loud cling noise as an item fell out of the net and hit the wooden floor. He looked down and saw that it was the item that the man had dropped from his bag. Puck picked the item up and saw that it was nothing but a metallic cylinder. Doesn't look like anything fancy, he thought; I wonder what this is for? He began to toy with the item for a few minutes, eventually placing the item on his right arm. To Pucks great surprise, the cylinder looked rather nice on his arm. Oh! He said, then thought maybe it's some sort of human fashion piece?  

     What ever it was Puck didn't have time to think about it, five minutes had passed and he could hear the foot steps of the sailor as he was returning to his vessel. Puck panicked, and quickly dove into the waters just below him, however just as he was diving, the sailor came around the corner, and saw Pucks' tail as it flipped up in the moonlight. The sailor darted toward his ship yelling. Hey! He eagerly shouted! Wait! Come back me mermaid!!! Puck did hear the sailors screams, however he wouldn't dare stop to think about what he said. For after discovering that he'd been spotted, Puck swam away as fast as he could in hopes to escape being captured. A mile out he stopped by a near-bye rock and took a moment to catch his breath. “That was a close one.” he said to himself. After recovering from his shock he looked at his arm, he was so flustered that he didn't even notice that he still had the mysterious item on his arm. “Oops! “ he said “Oh well, I guess I can't really give it back to him now, he'd probably put two-and-two together and know who I am...That was such an interesting place though, I'd have to be a bit more careful, but I think I might just have to visit there again...”  

     Puck then started heading home, to this day he still visits the island and has the arm bracelet on as a remembrance of that special day.

really cool!
in the future though, if you want to write literature, just when you hit "submit" button, you hit the 'enter text' option that's located right under the big, blue "choose a file to upload" button. c:
