ok, here it is, it is in a complete and unaltered form (well, i did fix a few grammatical mistakes, but other than that, it's the exact same thing that matt and jacob wrote):
A Tragedy
By Matthew and Jacob
Erin’s heart pounded as she ran through the forest. She could still hear the animal’s heavily padded feet racing behind her. She didn’t know what it would do to her when it caught up to her, but wasn’t going to find out either. She raised the ring she carried on a chain to her mouth. "Quickly, you must take it to the temple. I wish you success in this matter, I have failed. Take it and go, now." In a small flash of light the ring was gone. She looked back in a futile attempt to locate her pursuer when she was struck hard on the head and blacked out.
A young defenseless girl darted in and out of the shadows. She glanced around anxiously, carefully hiding a glittering object under her hood. As she reached the outskirts of the small village she had traveled through, she reached a small wooden bridge. Only a few more miles, thought Elizabeth, for that was her name. She was on an extremely important mission for the king to deliver an ancient artifact to its rightful place of rest. Stopping near a small tree to catch her breath, she reached for the ring that rested on a gold chain around her neck. The "Tear of Light" as it was called, would bring unimaginable power when placed in the Temple of Light. That was her mission, and she was but a few miles away from her goal. All that stood between her and the temple was this small, rickety bridge. She ran quickly towards the bridge, her pace quickened by the closeness to completing her mission. As she crossed the bridge, a shiver went up her spine as a shining blade erupted from the ground. She quickly drew her own short sword as a towering figure emerged from the bridge. His massive sword knocked her dagger into the icy swirling water. "Give me the Tear of Light," said the figure.
"I will never surrender!" shouted Elizabeth.
"Then you will die." The sword flew towards the girl, ending her mission forever.
Erin awoke to find Matthew standing over her. "Where are you hiding the Tear of Light, weakling?"
"I no longer have it; it is on its way to the Temple. When it arrives you shall be vanquished forever, for you will never succeed."
"We shall see about that." Pain screamed from every part of her body, and the merciless blade of Matthew the Unrepentant quickly put her out of her misery.
A rumbling laugh echoes through the Temple of Light as Matthew and Jacob call forth the power of the Tear of Light. "Now nothing can stop us!" But all is not lost as Carlee, Guardian of the Tear of Light, awakens to a sunless morning.

The End?
there. now do you see why it disturbed me? and matt and jacob are very proud of this story. they are quite evil. jacob said he was gonna write a sequel, but i don't think he's started on it yet. i guess erin and i won't be in it....sniff.
oh yeah, this morning guess what song we sang in youth group? 'Your Grace is Enough'! can u believe that? of all songs! oh, and then we were doing an activity, and we had our Bibles open to...uh...2 corinthians something. and there was one line on the pages that i had open that was highlighted in red, so i read it since it stood out so much. it said, 'But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." ' (2 corinthians 12:9) Isn't that just weird?! it's so awesome!!!
ok, i just wanted to share that =) and i hope you enjoyed the story (ok, actually if u enjoyed it, that's just wrong, and i'm never gonna speak to you again! unless ur matt or jacob, b/c they can't help it, they're just like that).
ipml!

OK Have they thought of counseling? LOL About the verse and song. Isn't it funny how God keeps giving us the same test till we pass it. Really I don't think we ever get enough reminders of Him and his love. Have a great week!
haha, i should suggest that to them. =)
yeah, i think it is so neat that when i'm learning something new, He just keeps teaching it to me!
you have a great week too!
