I'm pretty much new here. I'm a 15 year old inspiring writer, looking for a little help and support along the way. I'm still not the best writer.. but with help and some crit, I know I'll get better!

Here's part one of my current story.

Title: A Not So Typical Fairy-Tale
Rating: G
Genre: Fantasy.
Word Count: 825.

                Her fierce yellow eyes slashed the inky black night as she dashed through the forest, fleeing from her foe. Her already skimpy dress tore and ripped with every pass of a thorny bush, or a jagged tree branch. With every stomp against the rocky soil, her paws began to be very sore and tender. She couldn’t keep running forever…. That girl named Semelin had to find a break, an escape, and a way to lose her perpetrator, but how?
                Suddenly, her sensitive pupils were adverted to a bright light. She swiveled her head over to where the light was coming from, and her attention diverted to an open window. It was like a miracle on earth, and the neko-girl took every advantage of it. She tiptoed her way to the open miracle, and slipped in. Semelin was almost floored when she saw what was inside. Apparently, Semelin has invited herself to a lavish and extravagant party. The room was large, and it was white with gold trimmings around the corners of the walls. There had to have been at least 20 large, 10 foot windows surrounding the dance hall. There were many people left and right of the young lady, chatting and dancing, drinking and even some gossiping. Amidst it all, stood a larger than life, flamboyant prince, chatting with his peers, and having a merry old time. This prince had a fairly normal appearance, except for his flashy, out of the norm, clothing. He also sported dusty orange hair atop of his head, and a bright face full of life. Semelin had noticed this fancy royal, but paid little mind. All she cared about was her escape. However, this young man noticed her. He gazed at her from afar, with a look of admiration in his eyes. To many, she would be considered a vile jungle beast, with her frizzy burgundy hair, cat-like ears, tail, and eyes, and her silver skin. Many were scared of her, because people don’t generally see arson and mutilation of small woodland creatures as good clean “fun”. But the prince… he saw a diamond in the rough. While she decided to have some “fun” with one of the prince’s 30 maids, he approached the 23 year old. He pompously snapped two of his fingers at the beast, and exclaimed with a certain power in his voice, “YOU!”
                Semelin, who was startled at the cry jolted around with a force and hissed, “Who are you?” The prince scoffed and replied, “Hmph. I believe that I should be the one asking you that. This is my party after all, and I believe that hadn’t invited you.” The catgirl just smirked and said, “I’m never invited to anything; I only arrive.” The prince merely ignored this comment and said, “Besides, how did you get in? One of my maids should have been escorted you out by now anyway!” Semelin just smiled. An evil, devious smile, as she brushed away a wounded body with her large foot. The prince stared at her, with a mixture of fear and pity. He observed that this lady was a barbaric monster, but he felt in his gut, that she could be much more. He took a step towards Semelin and said with kindness, “Why must such a beautiful girl like you lower yourself to such vile actions and crimes? You could be much more than that..” The Neko paused in her tracks. Every part of her delicate body froze as the prince uttered the kind, affectionate, and worried words to her, everything except her heart, which was fluttering like the wings of butterflies. She gazed into the prince’s eyes, with what could be described as a look of affection, when suddenly, she snapped, and tried to escape.
                “No, I-I don’t belong here! That foolish prince…. Me, beautiful? How idiotic could one person be? I have no beauty value at all!” she thought to herself as she tried to run away. But even before she could get ten feet away from the charming prince, he took his strong arms, and grabbed Semelin around her slender waist. She let out a terrible roar as she tried to squirm free from his loving grasp. “L-Let me go, you vile sewer rat!” she raged. There was a large gasp from the crowd, as everyone stopped what they were doing to watch the ongoing struggle. The prince just held on tighter, and flipped her body over so she was facing him. “No need to struggle my dear. Besides..” He then slowly leaned closer to Semelin’s angular face, causing her to blush immensely. He fluttered his eyes closed, as his lips crashed with hers. Her eyes grew wide with amazement, shock, and a little bit of embarrassment. The crowd stared on, with a few Oohs and Ahhs slipping from their astonished mouths. The prince slowly separated his lips from the girl’s and whispered, “I always get what I want in my kingdom.”
