Random Stuff That Doesn't Fit Elsewhere....

Atlantis AU: TMDG Snippet

Welcome back to my AU! If you're wondering, TMDG stands for The Most Dangerous Game. 

So, in my English class, my teacher had us each write a character sketch for a character who could be added in the story before, during, or after it takes place. I will say that I decided to put it after the events of the story. It only focuses on Sarah since she's my character, but it does give hints to somebody else. (It says his name!!)

I know some of you are probably like, "Just let us read it already!" I don't blame you. But I will say one thing before I let you read the snippet: it is only two paragraphs - one long one - and this is not how my writing normally sounds. One of the requirements was that we had to use three out of four sentence structures that we were given. Yeah, I'm not normally this creative unless I have time and I really think about what to write. 

Enough of me talking. Enjoy this little snippet!

"Keep it moving," said one of the guards as he and a few others escorted them to his house. "We're almost there. He'll be pleased to see so many of you." The guard shoved Sarah in the shoulder, forcing her to keep ahead.

Sarah looked on either side of her, seeing her fellow "colleagues" getting the same treatment. Some were pulling at their shackles while others had tears brimming at their eyes and threatening to spill out. Sarah was calm and collected, a plan to make it out of this alive brewing in her mind. An uncooperative piece of her reddish-brown hair fell in front of her chocolate brown eyes, slightly obscuring her view. She moved to brush the strand out of her face, the sleeves of her dark tan jacket and purple sleeves sliding up her arm to reveal scars from previous... battles. Showing no emotion, the girl looked down at her wrists and pulled down her sleeves. Beside her, Patrick, her new found friend, glanced over with a look of concern. He knew about the 20 hard years of training and pain that Sarah had to endure since childhood. Quietly, the two conversed. Their chains made the sound of bells at the beginning of a new hour as their hands flowed through signs. Now, seeing the doors of the upcoming death trap, the conversation changed. No longer were Sarah and Patrick talking about personal matters, they were conceiving a plan to escape before the game commenced. By the time they were only mere feet from the door, Sarah, after confirmation, suddenly turned around and attacked her guard.

Like I said, it's only two paragraphs, so it's not much to go on. But, I hope you liked it anyway! Feel free to tell me what you think. I don't mind any criticism, as long as it's constructive.
