    Okay, I usually don't ask people for advice but it seems I need some.

    I have this great boyfriend. He is nice, somewhat funny, and shares some of my interests (except a love for the internet). I've been only dating him for two months, about to be three soon, and I really like him ... But he isn't the greatest at school. He is suppose to be a junior, but sadly is still a freshmen. This week was exam week and he had taken his English I exam, unfortunately he failed it ... again. He told me the school was going to pass him anyway but he wasn't sure. While talking to me, he also mentioned dropping out but I made it clear if he dropped out I wasn't sticking around. So that motivated him somewhat to stay in school.

    He really tries but school isn't his strong point and I don't want him to quit. Since I'm doing very well in school, I have offered him help quite a few times but we never really get the chance to sit down and do schoolwork. I told him also he needs some motivation but he doesn't have anything to make him want to work hard in school.

    What should I do? I want to help him do better but I not sure how I can really help ... he never seems really confident or motivated when it comes to school and I'm afraid he is going to drop out and ruin his life.

    I love photography, it's just a little hobby I have. My cats are usually the victims of my camera. Most of my cats are strays and the others are just apart of Shadow's generation xD

    Some of these pictures are really, really old.

    -This was Boots (He's gone now and was a stray), it's really, really old. Probably the oldest picture out of them all.

    I use Sony Vegas to make this video. This is a Rikku/Zack tribute, I guess. Also I kind of got a little lazy around the ending but that's how I'm usually am, sorry.

    Twisted Land

    The title may change later.

    This is a story I've been writing not too long ago but had the idea in my hand for a while. If you see any mistakes or something wrong with my wording, please don't hesitate to tell me.


    Twisted Land
    Chapter One: Classic Cannibal​

    Pale moonlight bathed the lone streets, providing a dim light source. Night had fallen a few hours ago and lights ceased to glow bright. Most people got ready for a their final rest of the day, thinking of what tomorrow might bring them.

    The cracking of bones echoed through the darkness. Snapping under the pressure of razor teeth. The once powerful screams turned to hopeless cries and then the sound completely died. A smile plastered on his face as he gazed at his masterpiece. Still full of hunger, he left a bit for someone to stumbled upon it. Maroon liquid was painted on the grunge walls in a splattered pattern, some was fresh and was dripping down to the floor creating a small puddle. Other spots on the wall was brownish red and stained from other victims.

    The metallic smile shone through the night, sparkling because of the full moon. All emotions were mixed together, in a twisted sense. As he grew bored, he raced away like an animal from his last meal of the day and off to his home. Leaving the poor, unexpected woman to bathe in her own blood.

    --

    Tears streamed down the by passers faces as the yellow tape blocked their entrance to the woman's deathbed. Some knew they the lady, others felt empathy for her. Police stalked around, examining the brutality of the scene. It was him again. The third time this week and he has been up to this for the past month. No one was sure about this killer, who was obsessed with the human body, epsically the meat on their bones. He was just a classic cannibal.

    "Detective, the people are beginning to worry." A woman assistant explained, her clip board close to her chest in fear, "We have no leads and no one is safe."

    The man who she was speaking to was in his late thirties and in a tan western suit. His hands shoved into his pockets in a nonchalant manner and a frown on his squared face as he scanned the murder scene. Nightfall was still present and this horrible crime was only committed a few hours ago.

    "Karen, I know." He spoke with a deep, hoarse voice with a hint of sadness. The assistant with the name of Karen only held her clip board closer and bit her rosy, red lip before she dare to look up at her superior.

    "This is the same man who took your wife and son, is he not?" Karen slowly said, hoping that little fact would help him want to catch this madman even more.

    "Yes, he is." The detective answered with no change in emotion. She then felt a sudden hateful flame ignited within her body.

    "Theodore!" She suddenly snapped, throwing the clip board down to the street in anger. That action caused all of the police, by passers, and other detectives to stare at the unfolding scene in curiosity.

    Theodore only glanced back at her, with dark circles underlining his eyes. The pit of his stomach was battling with rage and sorrow, and rage was winning. At that exact moment he wanted to take that Karen girl down, hurt her. His beautiful wife and beloved son were one of the earlier victims of this strange cannibal. His life had been a wreck since then, he had to put on this hateful outlook on life to keep him from breaking.

    "Not here, Karen." Theodore whispered in a growling like manner. He sense the nervousness of Karen as she gulped and stepped back and pick up the clip board that she ruthlessly threw down to the ground in anger.

    "Detective Williams." A man's thick voice called out from behind the younger male detective. His eyes set back to extreme focus as he turn to face his boss. A heavyset man with thinning hair gave had a large, smug smirk across his chubby face, "Can I trust you two to work together, or too much tension."

    Theodore winced at the way tension was said, like Karen and him had some beyond work relationship. His teeth were now clenched together to keep his jaw from hitting the floor. Just because he works with a female, doesn't mean he must have sex with her.

    "Detective Maxwell, I assure you nothing is between us. She's just pointing out that I'm not so fit for this case." Theodore stated in monotone, trying the hardest he ever had before to keep his breaking cool. Maxwell only gave a roll of the eyes before he spoke once again.

    "You are a family member of one of the victims in this case, Theodore." Maxwell mentioned with a slight cough which cause a smirk of agreement on Karen's face, "Can we trust you not to do this only for revenge?"

    "You can trust me with your life."

    ---

    It was at least almost two hours after midnight until Theodore walked into the dark, lone household. All the lights were shut off and it was impossible to see. He felt the smooth walls carefully with his right hand searching for the light switch. His forehead was throbbing painfully like a someone took a metal, blunt object and bashed his head a couple of times.

    Suddenly he felt the switch and quickly turned the lights on as he touched it. The hallway light brighten up the entire area. The intense bright light nearly caused his head to explode as he gritted his teeth in more pain, like he was going to break jaw in the process. The tiny kitchen area was still dim but the hallway leading to the bathroom and laundry room area was shining like daylight. Theodore stumbled into the kitchen and clicked on a few more lights, making the light shine even more. He opened up the cabinet that was placed directly above the stove. He felt around in search for something very specific. Then he found it.

    In his rough hands was a small bottle of pain killers, just what he needed. He began to twist the lip but it seemed to be stuck. Damn child safety lock. Theodore cursed mentally but after a painful five minutes he eventually figured it out to unscrew it.

    "Dad?" A soft voice called from the darkness. The sudden noise caused him to nearly jump a mile high and he dropped the bottle on the floor, he only gritted his teeth to hold back his temper.

    It was a teenage girl, around the age of fifteen. Her black hair long and most of it laying on her shoulders and stopping around her chest. She wore only a simple pale pink tank top and some shorts for pajamas since it was summer time and there wasn't a need for long clothes.

    "What are you doing up this late, Ashnay?" Theodore sighed sharply as he tried to calm himself down. All this hate was building up in him and he didn't want to take it out on his only daughter.

    "I just heard some noises downstairs." Ashnay nearly whispered with guilty tone, like her interrupting her father was an awful crime.

    "Well you should go back to sleep." Theodore said quickly as he motioned his hand towards the upstairs of their house. She only gave a half-hearted nodded as she sluggishly walked back to her room upstairs. Theodore let out another sigh of relief, there was always a strange feeling of embarrassment he had around her.

    He then glared at the mess her created on the floor, small piles scattered every way. Some were lost under the stove and there was no hope in fishing them out from under there. He grabbed a few from the floor and placed them back into the bottle, the rest he kicked under the stove.

    Grabbing a cup from the cabinet, Theodore headed towards the sink and filled it to the rim with water. He placed two pills in his mouth he then literally chugged down the water. He coughed roughly once he finished, too much water entering his lungs at once.

    Theodore's eyes suddenly felt heavy as memories of Nancy and Vaan played in his head like a movie. All of those memories had something missing, Ashnay. She was often in the corner or not there at all. Nancy was the beautiful and loving wife, Vaan was the beloved football player son, and then there was Ashnay. A simplistic wreck. She had her teenage problems that she could talk to her mom about but Nancy didn't have the heart to listen, so Ashnay turned to her friends which ended up in making numerous bad decisions.

    His breathing became slow, he was in much need for some crying. He hadn't cried since their funeral about a year ago.

    Far out into the forest, where no one dares to tread, there is a peaceful village that trains ninjas from various clans. The young students are sent there to learn the way of the ninja. Not all clans know of this village and it is opened to only some. Expert ninjas teach the young students to master their skills and become an expert ninja themselves. Each year the village takes in a new group of students.

    Most of the story takes in the village of Kamiki, the ninja training village. The new students arrive like any other year. All the students first get to know each other and then the next day they begin their lessons. Though this year is going to be different. The ninjas were able to keep their training village a secret from potential enemies. Though somehow their secret was revealed and now they must protect their village from being destroyed. With the lack of ninjas, the students must help their masters to protect the village!

    Healing/Support; Not the strongest in the battle field, but they are the ones usually you turn to if you are injured. Most of the time they say in the shadows until needed.

    Fighting; These ninjas are the ones that attack their enemies head on. They don't quietly wait in the shadows to make their move, they rather go up to someone and fight!

    Stealth; Unlike the fighters, stealth ninja stay hidden and rather not be seen. They usually sneak up behind an enemies and end their life silently and move on to the next target.

    Magical/Summoning; These ninjas use the abilities of earth, wind, water, and fire. They also can control animals to fight alongside with them. They either fight head on or lurk in the shadows, which ever works for them.

They are also able to fire these kunai out at extreme high speeds, making them much harder to dodge then normal ones.

I can change it if you want)

    Hey, I'm RieRen. I never really played Kingdom Hearts before but I watched my friends play it and all. Sometimes they will hand me the controller and be like 'Kill these!' while they go do something, other than that never played it... But I get the basic plot.

    I like Final Fantasy and a lot of other video games, animes are cool, and my favorite animal is a cat.

    I hope to have fun on the forums and such. I heard good things about this place.
