I know what you are thinking for those of you who follow my work. Not another new story! lol But this one I really do plan on continuing. I had a really kind of creepy yet cool dream and I decided to make a short story out of it. This is just the preface of a short piece.
I know this is really short so just tell me what I can do to expand it....if it needs to be expanded. Or if you think it's okay as it is, let me know
All kinds of reviews are welcome, harsh or not!
Hopefully you like it!

Preface
William
How could she think that I wouldn’t follow her? All those creeps out there now… I have no idea what to expect from these creatures around me.
Leaping agilely from treetop to treetop, I peeked through the foliage down below. I had to stop and admire her then as she paused to pick up spare trash that was inches from the garbage can. It always bugged her when people littered.
Smiling at this thought, I zeroed in on her frame as she continued on walking. She was so perfect in every way, her face shinning like a moon through the leaves. Her eyes like golden sunrises, her figure that of a dancer’s—lithe and graceful, her skin immaculate, her smile that brightened up my day. I sounded like such a lovesick kid, a hopeless romantic, but I couldn’t help it. I had heard all those stories about love, all of them so ridiculous and too obscene for me to take seriously. But now that it is happening to me, I can’t leave this girl alone in fear that something bad will happen to her...
Veronica
Swearing violently under my breathe, I dumped the trash in my hand into the nearest can while my bag hangs precariously off of one shoulder. Brushing my hands off on my jeans, I continued on down the road, clutching my bag closer to my chest. Thin silk shawls, ghostly in appearance concealed the moon. The night was light, the sky midnight-blue in color. Few stars dotted the sky, making it look like an endless sea of ink splattered above me. I sought out the North Star and found it winking coyly at me through the trees.
That’s when I heard the rustle. Freezing, I hesitantly looked up. Nothing. Goosebumps now forming on my arms, I moved on. A prickling sensation started in the middle of my spine and slowly moved up until I felt sharp pokes at the base of my neck. A rustle again, somewhere above my head.
Spinning, I went to face my attacker, face split into a look of pure fury. But there was no one. Feeling slightly idiotic, I pushed forward.
But I just couldn’t shake the feeling as though someone was watching me…

AllyyyAlwayyys:
Thanks!
Yeah, this is a brand new story for me so just be warned that it is more than a little rough.
Well, I'm glad you liked this!
very intriguing
At first it was the title that captured me,
but as I began to read
I discovered that it was not only the title that I loved
but the whole prologue.
Right now though,
I am off to read the next part
(oh and I almost forgot,
I loved how there was barely any grammar errors and spelling errors)
XD
Night Mistress:
Hope you like the others!

William
*Melts* love that name!!!
~~~~~~~
I realized this is only the prefrace but maybe you could elaborate without giving to much away about these "creatures" Why are they so dangerous? Why would they be around here?
~~~~~~~
You could throw in that he maybe chuckled to himself, because it is funny to him? Or smiled to himself because of how 'green' (the whole save the planet thing) she is? If you get what im saying. Just give him like butterflys or something to go along with the admiration.
~~~~
Maybe I'm just being impatient here, but could he maybe go into more detail about this 'danger'? Why would she even be in any danger? Maybe hint to what mischeif has been going on in a little more detail.
~~~~~
Another one of my favorite names!
~~~~~~
Wow. Im loving this!!
I'm deffinitly reading on!!!
Hope I helped a little weeee bit. =)
Okay, right of the bat I love this! You're a really good writer and I am off to read chapter one RIGHT NOW! Haha, I really like this!

endless_secrets:
hehe)
Thanks so much, endless, for taking the time to read this!
Of course I will keep PMing you. About this (and about Poisoned Roses
Thanks again!
That was very interesting and i think it is fine at the length that it is, prefaces and prologues shouldn't be too long. But anyways, I found little to no mistakes gramatically or in spelling. I really enjoyed your use of sensatory descriptions here and your comparisons or similies or whatever they are called.
I also liked how you took the same seen from both perpectives. You are talented in romances i see. Sorry that wasn't much help... but i found nothing wrong with it! Keep going and keep PMing me!
-Your loyal reader
KJ:

lucyy:
Of course I will PM you when I post more of this and of Poisoned Roses.
Thanks so much for taking the time to read this, luc!
I spied you had posted a new piece, which I just had to check it out *wink* but don't you go neglecting Poisoned Roses though ... d:
...
) & I thought that this was just the right length, I don't think any more detail needed to be added and ... can't wait for more posts.
:D
Anyways, onto a review
I thought this was really good & caught my interest (I immediately can't wait for more - you're good at that
& please PM me when you post the next piece to this (& Poisoned Roses of course!)
Lucyy xx
Wow another great story Ash. I can tell because there was a good last sentence, and though I hate cliffhangers I'll be sure to stay tuned in for more. Please continue this and don't give up on anything else. This was flawless and please be sure to PM when you post the next part. Oh and thanks again for critiquing The Jane Effect you're so awesome! I've already started editing and...I don't want to get off topic but this was suspenseful and amazing. Thumbs up!
Keep Writing,
~Angel
I think this is good as it is, seeing as it is only a preface. It's best to leave the preface short anyway, without being too vague. I think you've accomplished this nicely.
Just a couple things I noticed:
You changed tenses at the end of this sentence. Try “I just don't know...”
This is a little awkward. Try removing the first “not.” It will make more sense and you won't have two negatives in the sentence.
