Something I Need

You got something I need

In this world full of people there's one killing me

And if we only die once I wanna die with you (you, you, you)

Stars always dance high above me, either by themselves or with their partner, with their shoes lighting up the black dance floor. It’s such a nice sight to see, right? However, as much as I would hate to admit it, there’s always the outcast.

She’s a beauty, with hair like golden silk and eyes that stare into the many souls below. She’s an observer, always watching for her one love. Actually, that sounds a little wacky, huh? Okay, it’s going to be me. Still, as I’m trying to hold in my childish giggles, she has the most beautiful smile I have ever seen, like a blooming flower really.

Wait, I did it again! You don’t know who I am. I’m truly sorry; I apologize for that foolish act! Let’s start over. I’m the Bird Guardian and it’s great to meet you. If you’re ever curious about finding me, just look for brown hair sticking up all over the place and of course birds. Also, even though you probably figured this out, I’m a boy.

Anyway, let’s not get caught up with me! There’s something that has been bugging me lately. Well, actually two things. One being the fact that you humans keep barging through the forest so obliviously that it’s been annoying a few of us, including me. We would appreciate it if you would just stop for once so we Guardians can actually get on with our jobs! Second thing, how do you make a person fall in love with you? Do you show off or something? The person writing this story thinks that I should just be myself but that’s just too hard! Yes, a majority of you know this feeling.

What’s with the looks of amusement?

Fine, if you don’t believe me I’ll just show you! Jumping to my feet, I dash towards a Sparrow, kicking its side to wake him up. His eyes snap open and he begins to hop around like a bunny, screeching at the top of his lungs which causes me to yell. That’s weird, isn’t it? Well, as weird as it may be, this actually works. Usually, when I yell he’ll completely shut up and acts stupid. Anyway, I continue to yell as loud as a babies wail until finally, he shuts his cries!

Its silence like these I wish I could have on every flight, the whispering wind telling me the directions I need to head towards. It’s telling me to turn a right, so I kick the Sparrow on his left side and he flies in a circle! A circle! I glare down at the stupid animal and yell at him to go right. He does after a while with a confused look. What a stupid bird!

We continue to fly with the clouds that seem to be sitting in the now dark sky. Great, now I have to find her in the dark! This is just plain old annoying! At least we’re near help I guess, with that light from the Snowflake girl or whoever she may be glaring at me. Oh right, I just remembered something. This one is really cheerful, not to mention full of all that hope and stuff. Also, she has the tendency to babble on about useless things for ours like a tape recorder.

Oh joy.

I decide to jump but not to my death though! Come on, I’m not that daft! I’m doing this so I can try out my glider. Spreading out my arms, I close my eyes and pull the strings at the side of me, accidentally yanking one of them out of its sockets. Opening my vision, I curse at the fact that one of one of my so called ‘not breakable wings’ snapping off!

This is so frustrating!

However, this is not the time to be kicking myself. I have to get Delta before the sunrise! The wind picks my up and I begin guiding towards the Snowflake Girl. I’ll admit one thing, this girl is adorable. She’s just waving at me and saying hello. Although, even if that’s such a nice sight and all, my glider is acting up!

Oh great…

I try to tell her to move out of the way but she’s just standing there, waving obliviously with that grin painted on her face. You know one thing, it’s people like this that causes me such great frustration at times. I’m pretty sure you humans have either met or have one of these people in your lives; do they annoy you? They sure do annoy me!

Anyway, I land on my feet and snatch her shoulders, shaking them like a rattle. She stops me though, asking for what I want. I explain everything and she laughs, her hair tilting back as her body shook with delight. Why is it so funny for wanting to dance with your love for? Snowflake smiles though, grabbing my wrist and dragging me forward.

I’m a bit startled at the help she has given me. It’s this book, a rather thick one at that. I blink, wondering if I should wack her in the head with it. Her features look really tired but she sighs, ripping out one of the pages and shoves me on it. Why I am on a page for; isn’t this rather weird? I stare at her, trying to ask her why I’m on some boring old page. The only answer I get is a giggle and a wave goodbye.

A gust of wind blows the page up and I slip off. Great, just where is Sparrow! I’m falling to my death and he’s not here! Prefect, I tried but you win!

Oh wait, I land on his back. You know, I take back everything I said about Sparrow, he’s one reliable bird. Standing, I stretch to the page and manage to touch the edge with my fingertips!

Yes!

I’ve been dangling for a while now, just cruising with the breeze which somehow past the storm clouds and past the layer of the atmosphere. I past the Storm Princess a minute ago and she asked me why I was even doing this and do you know what I said. I said that I’m proving you wrong. That’s right, even though Delta is not that far away from me now, I still remember!

You can’t stop me!

As it turns out you can put me to a pause. I finally make it to space but I’m having trouble breathing. There’s so many Star People dancing, crowding the area so I can’t see her. Glancing around, I spot Delta at the back of the dance floor! However, as I got closer, I notice that she’s with Alpha. The tough guy. An inky blackness invades my world and I collapse, falling into a deep sleep.

It’s weird to think that it never turned out like the way I planned it. I’m back on Earth because something just dragged me back like some ragged doll. My head feels ready to come off but some warmth inside of me is still keeping it on.

Delta, even though she’s with another man, she helps me to regain my recovery. You know, I hate to admit this, but I guess it’s good not having me as her lover. I slump back into the tree, smiling sadly as I close my eyes.

Well, I didn’t give up. That’s all I have to say, I’m really used to this by now.

Catch you later then!

If we only die once I wanna die with

If we only live once I wanna live with you

Hi, here to review.

1. Spelling- nothing is misspelled here.

2. Punctuation- you have the right marks in the right places

3. Grammar- everything is grammatically correct (I feel as though I am saying that to people a lot lately)

4. Capitalization- everything is capitalized correctly. There are things that may look wrong but in the way they are written they are right.

Your grade- 100%
Reviewer's note- this a long piece so I really had to put my patience into reading this piece. I really like the last two sentence on the bottom.

Hello there, here for a review.
It was a long piece ,read from the surface.Overall looked good and kept asking myself; What is it that you need. I think may be you are looking for a maiden.

The italilicised phrases come as a suprise and looks nice as well.

Overall looked great and keep up the nice work.
Titles with questions brings up a lot of inquisitiveness.

Reall like a few paragrahs like these:
"
