hey, i was thinking about writing a story and i wanted to know if it was a good idea, its a rough draft, nothing fancy, so pardon the mistakes and the vagueness.

this is the start

>was 14 just started high school
>weird kid, no friends, very introverted
>didnt really care, i just went to school, did the work, got out
>about halfway through the year a new girl showed up
>she was really pale, skinny, with long dark hair and she dressed in black all the time
>no one talked to her, most people avoided looking at her
>after about a week, she just comes up to me and asks me if i want to hang out after school, me finding her interesting, say “sure.”
>so we decide to meet after school in an abandoned campground site near the local lake
>i ask her how she knows about it and she says she's lived in the same town as me her whole life she just used to be homeschooled, until a few months ago her mom passed awat and her uncle enrolled her in public school
>she tells me her name is Tatiana and then asks me if i believe in the occult
>i ask her what she means by that and she start telling me about magic and mythical creates and all that

as shes telling me about forest sprites, we hear a loud crash, and then a few seconds later a splash in the water.
>we run towards the sound and we find that one of the old cabins had been completely destroyed
>“its probably just because the wood was rotting,” i tell her
>she has this weird look in her eyes and she looks at me ans says “no..”
>lolwat
>“what about the splash?” she asks me
>we look at the lake and notice the water has been disturbed
>we get closer and it gets really cold all of a sudden, I get goosebumps and I can see my breath in front of me
>she grabs my arm and she pulls me back
>“we have to go.,” she says, “its not safe here.”
>i didnt know what she was talking about but i was getting a bit freaked out so i agree
>we run back to our bikes and she tells me to get home before dark
>it was about 7:00pm
>“umm ok ill try,” i say
>“ill see you at school,” she replies and we depart
>so i get home at around 8:00, it was starting to get dark, I get off my bike and as I’m about to enter my garage, i hear this weird screech off in the distance
>umm
>i go inside and close the door

>tatiana was waiting for me at the entrance
>she greets me and asks me if i slept well
>“yes, though i woke up feeling really tired,” i tell her
>“hmm me too,” she says
Me: also i left my bike outside of my house and this morning the paint was peeling off
>she looks at me with a concerned look
>“dont worry about it,” she says and then looks away
Me: you wanna go back to the campsite after school again?
>“no,” she tells me, “lets go somewhere else..how about Mrs Medleys Cafe?”
>“sure we can do that,” i reply
> “i just gotta go to my house first and tell my uncle,” she says
Me: yeah no problem
>when school is over i head into the outskirts of town towards Mrs Medleys
>she owns a small place with the back against the forest, it doesnt have alot of people during the summer but it gets packed during winter.
>i go inside and order some cookies while i wait for Tatiana

Me: a spell of binding?
Tatiana: yeah for the creature
Me: what creature?
Tatiana: at the lake, I dint want to tell you because it would freak you out but there’s a water serpent in the lake
>“we have to bind it,“ she says, “or else its gonna hurt somebody, its mating season and they can get very aggressive.”
Me: umm, so youre telling me that theres a magical creature in the lake? After all of these years it just suddenly popped up?
Tatiana: well it only comes out every 400 years to mate, its been asleep under the campsite, I went back that night and investigated, theres a big hole in the cabin that collapsed and I found its burrow.
Me: are you sure the ground just didn’t collapse? Im sure its nothing
Tatiana: you don’t believe me?
Me: well I mean, Its not that I don’t, its just that I don’t really believe in that kind of stuff..
Tatiana: oh okay…well mr skeptical, would you change your mind if you saw the serpent?

Me: right now? Theres a storm coming..im not sure ..

Its not the pale goth girl, the entire stories a cliche.
That said, I like it. Cliches are nice

>> No.2731556

I think the girl simbolizes death and the lake simbolizes vagina, the monster diving in is your penis: you have an erotic fixation with death. Very good OP 10/10

For all the fags that didn't find the genius of this story I will explain further because it's 4:00 am here and why the fuck not.
>weird kid, no friends, very introverted
probably with suicidal tendencies too
>she was really pale, skinny
death anyone? also, goth
>“what about the splash?” she asks me
>we look at the lake and notice the water has been disturbed
the girl (death) is all wet asking for him to fuck her but he's a betafag
>a weird creature that looks like a giant worm with fins
self explanatory, except for the fins, that shit is weird, seriously OP
>“are you scared of a little rain?” she laughs, “or maybe.. youre scared of the serpent..”
meaning: are you a pussy OP or just plain fag? (rain=cum, serpent=you can solve this one)
Also, I change my mind 15/10

The fuck are you talking about? I think it's obvious that Tatiana killed her mother. She never had a father, and seeing as this Grimoire had been passed down to her - the faith in this evil takes the position as a authorative father figure (The book being the materialistic form, teaching her about the dangers of life, how to behave, and how to protect herself). Thus, of course, as the mother was competing for the love of her father, (homeschooling, Tatiana never had any father-daughter time) she had to kill her.
Of course, OP stands as a third party viewer - seeing Tatiana engaging in pseudo-inscest. We all know that this animal became active long before it was ready for implantation, and Tatiana knew this.

She just searched for it now - during the most fertile period. Shit's fucking crazy, OP.

You are full of bullshit, don't you see that the goth thing is a double reference, sure it is related to death (as I said before), but it is also related to gothic literature. Do you even into Mary Shelley? OP'S MC is a subtle incarnation of Dr. Frankenstein, the serpent is his monstrous creation wich he can not control. His search for erotic mental associations to death was first deliberate, a search if you may, but he no longer has control over it.
