 Laeden 2009-06-08 . chapter 1I realize that this was for an assignement, but I'd like to make a few suggestions anyway.
Sometimes it seems a little rushed, try and take your time. (Once again, I know this was for an assignement, and I should know that I always don't take my time on assignments either).
When you describe them coming deeper into the forest, you just prett much state it as fact. Try to add a progression there by adding a little more detail. Describe the light fading as the trees around them became thicker, and the grass overgrowing the paths, because no one tread there, etc. Adding detail will add much more to the story. If the characters are making a significant journy, describing the surroundings can explain to the reader just how significant it was.
I realize this was an assignement, (once again), but it's not too bad. I'll have to check out some of your other work, and I hope this helped for your future writing adventures.
