I used to write short stories

Before my old computer was stolen, I wrote quite a few short stories. WEIRD, HUH.

I wrote all sorts of crap. From horror, erotica, dark fantasy, and a mix of all of those. I lost a lot of what I had already, and at some point I tried to rewrite my stories, but never had the motivation to re-do it all over again. It didn't feel right to me.
Today I found one of the old stories that I started to re-write. I was well into it, and wanted to go nuts with it, but after my computer was stolen I just said fuck it.

Someone broke into our home in Pennsylvania, went straight to my room and took my computer tower-- and NOTHING else. Left my keyboard and mouse, monitor, and cables. Fucking weirdos. I was in high school. They did it while my grandmother was downstairs watching tv. -__-
You'd think that having an internet stalker was bad... yeah... no.

Anyway, here's one of the ones I started re-writing and never finished. It's really dorky, and I was like 15 when I started it.

Untitled…or something
By: Cynthia Guizado


Get out of there! His voice, loud and scratchy, called over the grassy meadow and darted into her sensitive ears, making her jump in surprise.
She kissed the tiny creature, set it down and clumsily hurried out from behind the waterfall, careful not to trip and get stuck between the slippery, jagged rocks. The lake’s warm, moving waters delayed her, as she loved the water. Prancing around idiotically and not realizing where she was headed, she stumbled over a rather large rock embedded in the sand at the bottom of the lake, and scratched the cartilage just above her hoof.
A shrieking cry of pain traveled beyond the meadow’s lands and into the forest. She jerked back and whimpered quietly as she struggled to reach down and free her foreleg.
In the distance a, rhythmic beat of galloping hooves traveled the winds. I’m in trouble.
Quickly, she swam over to the bend, shook herself off, and reclined down against a mossy boulder, stretching out her right foreleg to see the wound. It was nothing to panic, a minor cut that was all. Relaxed she took a deep breath and turned to see galloping hooves come to an immediate halt. Easily, she could tell it was a male. Her eyes slowly shifted to the opposite direction, avoiding eye contact. A quiet little sigh of nervousness escaped her. She could assume he was waiting for her to look up, as there was a brief moment of silence until he pinched the point of her ear and tugged until she finally stood on all fours.
Ow, hey watch it! He finally let go. She rubbed the soreness to an ease and glanced at him with an uneasy look.
He was one of the warriors in training. Not much of a threat. But he let her know who was in charge with a cold stare. His ember eyes were set on her, his arms crossed. He stood there, so motionless, almost like a statue. He was huge, but that’s just a male trait of their kind. For him, that was just luck.
She looked down in embarrassment. He turned around and began to head back to their small shire. She looked up and watched him, when he stopped in his tracks, looked back at her and signaled with his a tap of his hoof to follow him.
She started after him slow and limping, avoiding support on her foreleg. He didn’t wait for her, and simply turned to say return to our shire, and he was off. At the pace she was going, it would take a while to get home. The meadows are wide and boundless, it seems like one could run forever through them. But at the other side was the forest and in the forest, was their home.

But the meadows were dangerous. It was, in a way, forbidden to go there alone, unless they went out in groups. However that was only limited for gathering the necessities the tribes needed to survive. Anyone caught out there alone would be punished in some manner. Azuara however, sneaked out regularly. She had grown accustomed to the meadows and its small treasures. Unfortunately for her, so have her own, and her owns’ enemies. Because of the resources this boundless meadow has to offer, a war is at rise. Not only for the meadow, but a treasure told in legends, hidden within its vast earth. Azuara has no mind of it, but her leaders do. She doesn’t have much mind of that either.

The Lamusi and Cekaur have made pact to keep off the meadows within reasonable trade. Sentinels from both sides made sure obedience and respect of the pact was executed. Woe to the poor fool that was found alone and with little purpose. Cekaur hid in the wide and rich forests, while the Lamusi kind kept to their dead lands of rocks, brush and skeletons from their prey - a façade to their shallow, underground city. If they were to run into one another, the pact demanded peace until forces were ready and this land would be won to one or the other once and for all. Although, it is not always as the rule commands. pride and greed demanded from its host for victory. Many ignored the pact and its rules, and died in attempts at nothing for a short lived battle. Others would sneak out, hoping to find this legend, even said to be impossible to find unless summoned with a certain artifact. So many rumors, but that only led to more fights and punishments. After much loss in ranks and shame to their tribes. War seemed like the only option. No one knows exactly what is being waited on, but the Cekaur expect the Lamusi to strike any time soon- a more aggressive, and clever race than the Cekaur. However the Cekaur had secrets of their own that aided them in their search for this treasure that would bring their own a better hope, and perhaps a truer meaning of freedom.



Stuff to remember: The Cekaur are ruled by the Lamusi and have been for centuries. They want to find this powerful thingy said in legend to be something from a god given to a powerful shaman that made a pact w/ the Lamusus demigoddess, but she betrayed the shaman and enslaved them in order for her followers to thrive. The thingy was hidden w/in the earth protected by the fire and earth elementals so the Lamusi could never use it. They have tried forever to summon slave creatures from other planes to go get it. But never found it. So the meadows are a touchy territory. And the Cekaur know about the thingy and want it in order to free and redeem themselves. Every few years, the Lamusi go in and capture a majority of the tribe and feed the new hatch of Lamusi that are born, because the select few females chosen to lay eggs take years to get to the status they need to be in order to be matrons. So once their eggs hatch, they feed the prisoners to their newborns in ritual and the Cekaur come close to getting wiped out every time. The Lamusi don’t take everyone because they enjoy leaving them in their misery and a reminder that they’re slaves to the Lamusi.

DON'T LAUGH. I HATE YOU.

I have 2 others, but they're pretty PG13. I might post one of them that was popular among my high school peers.

THERE YA GO.
