Chapter IV:
Liam then realized that he had put himself in a very dangerous position by attaching whatever magic the pencil held to his hand.
“Liammm, I don’t have all day!!” Rose laughed. Liam grabbed a new pencil and wrote down quickly, “The pencil Liam held gained the powers Liam had attached to his hand”. Rose glared at Liam angrily.
“GIVE. ME. THAT. PENCILLLLLL!” She yelled in pure anger.
“No!” Liam shouted.
He ran away from Rose, and out of the school. The other students watched then followed in pursuit after Liam, following Rose’s lead. He ran out of the doors, set down the piece of paper on a flat wall then wrote, “The doors at Liam’s school were locked and unbreakable”. Sure enough, the doors locks clicked then the material of the door hardened and become solid and unbreakable. Liam saw someone standing outside that looked about the same age as himself. He looked at him and realized he didn’t have the same dead-like gaze as everyone else. The boy turned around and saw the door and Liam.
“Who are you?” Liam asked.
“There isn’t much time, quick follow me!” The peculiar boy said.
“Okay, but who are- Woah!” Liam said cut off as the boy grabbed his arm and pulled him along. They kept running and the boy, after realizing Liam was following let his hand go and let him fall back a little bit. They stopped at the park and Liam was out of breath.
“How- are- you- Not effected like- everyone else?” Liam asked. He then noticed the strange bracelet the boy was wearing. The boy pointed to his bracelet.
“This here, it protects me from things. After those.. Things showed up, it stopped working completely. Ever since that day, I’ve been on the run. I still haven’t been infected like those.. things” The boy explained and shuddered after saying ‘things’. “Oh, I’m Ethan by the way.” Ethan held out his hand. Liam shook it.
“Nice to meet you Ethan, I’m Liam.” Liam said.
“Oh, I know who you are. These things kept talking about you. Said something about ‘power’ or something weird like that.” Ethan said.
“Well, you see everything was normal until I found this strange pencil that can make.. Well nearly anything possible..” Liam said. Ethan gave him a look in utter disbelief.
“So you’re the one who made it literally opposite day, nearly ended the world and made gravity stop!?” Ethan said in shock. “You’re insane! I shouldn’t have saved you back there.” Ethan said, sounding quite annoyed.
“Look, I’m sorry. I didn’t want any of this to happen I swear. I had no idea that this would occur after I tampered with how the future and fate was supposed to work.” Liam said, feeling a bit guilty in upsetting Ethan.
Ethan sighed and said, “Okay, just promise not to do anything else stupid with that crazy pencil of yours.”
“I’ll do my best, I’ve seen what the pencils corruption has done to my friends.. I don’t even know if there’s a way to undo this mess.” Liam said.
The paper he was holding was nearly completely wrecked. Liam wrote down, “The paper was replaced with a brand new one”. The paper’s quality changed back to normal”.
Ethan looked at him in astonishment and said, “I didn’t think that the pencil actually did stuff.. I just thought. Wow. Can you stop time with that thing?” Ethan asked.
“I’ve never actually tried.. But I don’t think I should, it could just make things more chaotic.”
“Yeah, that’s a good idea. That thing has already brought enough chaos to the world for one day.” Ethan said.
Then Liam and Ethan heard rapid footfalls behind them, they turned around. Liam said quickly, “Time to start running!!” He nearly shouted.
This time Liam grabbed Ethan’s hand and they started running off in the opposite direction, away from the crazy lunatics who were once innocent people, now desperate for the pencils peculiar power.

It’s official, Rose has lost her mind. Now, I’m wondering who this mysterious Ethan is. Is he really there to help Liam, or does he have a more sinister agenda? Still loving the story.
Now for some tips: I notice you write in a block of words. That’s a no no. Break up into paragraph, and when writing dialogue, when two or more people are speaking you need to make a new line when characters are speaking.
Example:
Ethan sighed and said, “Okay, just promise not to do anything else stupid with that crazy pencil of yours.”
“I’ll do my best, I’ve seen what the pencil’s corruption has done to my friends.. I don’t even know if there’s a way to undo this mess.” Liam said.
Awesome! I will do the changes, edit the story on the website and continue writing the story of course! I’m glad you’re enjoying the story so far.
I definitely am. I’m also busy working on my own.
