Well I am doing one about, well i'll just put the summary- Summary- Vanessa Ann Shea is the shy, clumsy girl at school. She is pretty though, and one of those girls you would probably find in a suicide poem. Her life isn't perfect. Not even close. Nessa's parents are divorced, she has a younger sister that she always has to babysit, and close to no friends. She lives in the town of Valentine, Nebraska and can't get the words out of her head; "We are moving to Astoria, Oregon." The words of her father, Daniel Shea. When she arrives at her new school, she's shocked. The weather is perfect for her. She loves rain, sunshine, and snow. It was just like it was in Nebraska. And Nessa hated changes. But there is a huge change in her life when she meets Colton Nichols. He's popular at school, and very outgoing. But all he ever does at lunch is sit with his siblings, which are in different grades from him, and drinks from his water bottle. Only does Nessa notice something strange about him when she follows him deep into the forest, where he parks his car near a river, and disappears. Nessa is determined to figure out who, or what he is. But it will change her life forever. It sounds EXTREMELY cliche. I was thinking about adding in a wendigo, a banshee, and possibly werewolves, but that's cliche as well. I want some other strange creature that I could add into it to make it less cliche. Thanks so much! :D Anyyvons?... Read More »
