    -He tried to lever himself out of the pool but couldn't. He felt the water rising over his chin. It touched his lips and he screamed again, certain he would be sucked in and die.

    -Erm I accidently put this phrase here when it is supposed to be for drowning, sorry

  3. He rolled his shoulders, grimacing, then popped a pain pill.

    I grabbed one of his arms, twisting it violently in back of him. It was harder in the air, but then I heard a loud pop.

    The Eraser screamed and dropped, careening downward until he caught himself and flew clumsily away, one arm dangling.
    I wrapped one arm around his neck and yanked hard, hearing him gag and choke. Grabbing my wrist with my other hand, I yanked harder until he let Nudge drop away from him.
    (is it in this columm or should it be put in the fight or accidents?)

  4. He went through the doorway, stepping onto the stone surface just inside it. But on the second step, the stone floor disappeared and his foot encountered nothing but air. He teetered on the very edge, his arms wind-milling frantically until he managed to regain his balance and pull himself up from the brink. He fell back against the door jamb and clung onto it, taking deep breaths to steady his nerves and cursing himself for his rashness.

  5. "HELP!"a shrilled could be heard behind me.I whipped around and saw a lady sprawling on the ground, whimpering in fear. Color flooded her pale face as she stared at a man dashing out of sight with a handbag.Without hesitation, I gave chase.Being a track and field member in school, I could caught a glimpse of the man turning into Avenue 10.I took a shortcut by crossing over a patch of grass.Within a few minute, I was a mere inches away from the man.I reached out my hand to grab the handbag but the man simply shook off my hand and continue running.My lungs were burning and my legs were aching but I was unrelenting.I was purple with concentration on the man that I didn't realize that the man was turning into an alley......

  6. She soared fifteen metres above the ground ,allowing unfiltered surface air to fill her lungs .Though laden with pollutants , it was still sweeter than the recycled tunnel variety.For several minutes, she enjoyed the experience ,before turning her concentration to the mission at hand : how to abduct Artemis Fowl .

  7. She vaulted the turnstile gate ,racing past the security zone and duty-free booths.The goblins were descending now ,boots and gloves flapping on a frozen escalator.One lost his headgear in his haste.He was big for a goblin ,over a metre.His lidless eyes rolled in panic ,and his forked tongue flicked upwards to moisten his pupils.

  8. Captain Short squeezed off a few burst on the run.One clipped the backside of the nearest goblin .Holly groaned. Nowhere near a nerve centre. But it didn't have to be. There was a disavantage to these foil suits .They conducted neutrino charges .The charge spread through the suit's material like fiery ripples across a pond. The goblin jump a good two metres straight up , then tumbled , unconscious , to the foot of the escalator. The hover trolley spun out of control , crashing into a luggage carousel. Hundreds of small cylindrical objects spilled from a shattered crate.

    Whwn he had gone, Graypool bent her head over the kits, rasping her tongue ovet their fur to warm them. The melting snow had washed away most of their scent, though Graypool could still make out the odours of the forest, of dead leaves and frostbitten earth. And there was something beneath that, fainter still...
    Graypool paused in her licking. Had she really sensed that, or she was just imagining things? Dipping her head again, she opened her mouth to breathe in the kits' scents.
    Her eyes grew wider, and she stared unblinking into the dark shadows that edged the nursery. She was not wrong. The fur of these twomotherless kits, whose origin Oakheart refused to explain, unmistakably carried the scent of an enemy Clan!

  10. The bodies of the Volturi's witnesses leaned toward us, their eyes fixed furiously on Renesmee and me, but they stayed near the fringe of the forest, leaving a wide berth between themselves and the Volturi's soldiers

  11. -Big Ben leaned forward, his eyes constantly locked on Tom's, and picked a broken bottle up from the ground. Tom's heart began to pound frantically, and his legs started to feel wobbly. Tears pricked at his eyes, and cold fear gathered in the pit of his stomach.

  12. -"RUN!" screamed Grey Arthur."Run, Tom! RUN!" Tom was frozen, feet stuck heavily to the ground with terror. His heart hammered in his chest, his tongue clung dryly to the inside of his mouth, and his legs were heavier than concrete.

  13. It was too late. The dog had made an enormous leap and its front paws hit him on the chest. He keeled over backwards in a whirl of hair. He felt its hot breath and saw inch long teeth.
    But the force of its leap had carried it too far. It rolled of him. Dazed and feeling as though his ribs were broken, he tried to stand up. He could hear it growling as it skidded around for a new attack.

  14. It was twenty Draks agaisnt one.No wonder the fear had started.Butterflies doing random somersaults in my stomach.My brain in overdrive.Working full-time on survival.Exactly what i needed.

    Fear and excitment are like twins.We crave excitment but dont like fear. It makes us feel like babies again.Except me.

    I liked fear.It was the only thing that'd give me the edge.Because when you feel fear , adrenaline floods through your body.And adrenaline is a superflued.

  15. Her eyes widened for a second.She nooded, and spike saw his chance.He went from zero to light speed in half a second,and rammed into the back of angels knees.She fell forward,dropping the doll.Spike didn't need a second chance. He grabbed the doll in his slobbering jaws and went prancing off with it,shaking it like a rat and flinging it in the air.
