Trent Vineyard 17-12-17- Feeling like my True self,Family service | Daniel Marshall Adventures

This Blog post is to Highlight The wonderful place that is Trent Vineyard and to explain that you do not need to be Religious in order to join or experience the wonderful things that go off (:
A few months back I went with James Pitcher and the family To Trent Vineyard for the very first time.
I had got to know James Through Grantham Tennis Club, months later i had written on social media about wanting to try different things in life when James Told me about The Church they go to.
I was meant to write a post about the experience, as we also went into the amazing War Hammer HQ.
I never got around to writing it. A few weeks later i started to but then felt it was to late to post about the day out.

Today I made the trip with them again as James was performing with the band for the Family Service. so I decided that this time i will blog about the experience as i want to explain why i felt so happy being there and why i was able to be myself, something which is very hard for me to do.


When James Invited me to go months a go i did not know what to expect, Trent Vineyard is not your Normal type of church, is it based in a massive Warehouse, It has Live music that is really out of this world and the talents there are mind blowing, it has Free Refreshments when the services are on and The Vineyard has Several big sections to the place and Looking to expand with a Children's Centre next year !!!

 
As you can see from the pictures its huge, picture do not do it justice as the pic above is only the main part of the Building.

The First time i went I felt so Equipment Envy, with being into media and seeing all the cameras and tech i just felt like Geeking out haha.
It was a first time in a long time being around a lot of people as i suffer bad from anxiety on top of being really shy anyway.
I came away feeling so pumped after the live music, and the amazing atmosphere that its no wonder i went back again Today.

Me, James and his Family left Grantham at 8.20am as James had to get there early to do sound tests with the band before the service started.

He was telling me that he did not leave Nottingham The day before until 12 at night due to Having the first practice with the band. It was also amazing to know that he had written and Produced one of the songs.

Trent has its own record Label so any music made is under that label (:
here is a small write up about is on the Trent Vineyard website which ill put the link to it at the end of this post (:

Worship is more than music. To us, it’s the act of freely giving our love to God in all that we do and we believe that giving in worship is the key to finding Him at work in our lives. Music is just one of the many ways we worship at Trent Vineyard. During our Sunday services we love to sing songs to God, lifting Him up, giving thanks for all He is and has done in our lives and telling Him how much we love Him.

What we sing is very important to us and that’s why we write and sing our own songs. Over the years, we've recorded a number of albums which you can listen to and buy at Vineyard Records. You can also search over 700 songs written in Vineyard churches from all around the world at vineyardsongs.com including many of ours.

So we all arrived and i can to see James in action as he was playing Guitar. you had someone on Keyboard, bass Guitar, Drummer and Vocalists.

From even the Practice runs the band sounded amazing, as always even though i wanted to watch James my eyes and ears focused more on the drums, its just how i am i am so drawn to the skills of drumming (:
James was telling me that the sound does an amazing job as you have to make sure everyone can hear whats going off in their ear so thats what sound tests are so key before the real deal, as you dont want someone out of tune, not singing the rest part or not being heard because the volume is to low or to high !!!

As time went by People started to turn up for the service, inc Kids that were also going to perform with dances.

What is cool before the session starts is they play upbeat music just in the background so its lively but also they have a countdown to when its about to start up on the big screens that you can see in the picture above.
These screens will always show the person/people talking/ performing so people who are at the back of the venue can see, they will often show the lyrics to the songs as well on screen (:

It was now getting really packed, and even though i was at the front, my heart was racing i kept looking around me, and feeling very anxious being around people.
That being said The vineyard is truly an magical experience when both times of visiting and the powerful music comes on did i find myself not only standing up, but singing something i only ever do in bedroom so that no one can hear other then my housemates.

What is magical about the whole place is the fact it can still keep the faith, and traditions but bring it into the modern world, to get kids of their Technology to sing, dance and enjoy music like really should be known Nationally its that good.

After a few songs, there was a small break Followed by some Dancing and a small video that kids from the Youth Group took part in.

Which is another amazing factor about the place that kids can enjoy arts and crafts sports and much more, there are student nights that go off, lots of projects for people to help out in the local Environment, like Gardening, and there is even small groups that people can get together and meet new people (:


Next up on the family service  was a really fun Game for Kids to enjoy and put a smile on my face, 3 people got in Inflatable raft type things,  the room would be split into 3 groups and on screen would be something you had to act out for the people on the stage to guess.

The person on stage that lost the round got a pie in the face, at the end of every round, sweets would be thrown in the air to the kids at the front to have (:

This then followed and i am really sorry i can not remember there names but 2 people got into a raft and got dunked as a send off as it would be there last Christmas service due to helping expand in the church into another location.
I think this is awesome that the place has grown so much since it first started and that other places around the world should experience what the one in Nottingham has to offer (:

The band came back on to finish up and now i was singing much louder, i felt at home, at peace, i felt so happy to not only be watching my friend Perform but just be myself not having to worry about anything.

In fact Towards the end i suddenly felt like crying, for many reasons.
I was Born In Nottingham, but never really fitted into society, my parents did take me to anything like this, i was never apart of a group, and it really got me thinking about life.

I have made a home In Grantham, its the place where i have managed to connect with so many people, and be happy, and yet for the first time in a long time i kind of wished i did live back In Nottingham and that i was a kid again.

My mental health plays a big part in my life, and because of that i find it extremely difficult to not only manage each day but to be social around others.
They may be events and things to be a part of in Grantham that i have not fount yet however after only going to 2 services at Trent, it feels like its where my life needs to be.

I wish i was a kid so that i could Dance on stage, i could feel free and be happy not being an adult and having to worry about adult things, just having youth on my side and taking part in projects and being a free spirit.

The past few months have been very hard as I have lost a lot of passion and drive for a lot of things, and i feel i do not know where my path lies.
However after today i have some kind of idea what i would like to do.
That is even if its in Grantham i would like to be apart of projects i would like to help people in need.
I would like to find my passion again for photography and help cover more events and places so that people can experience the best of things in life.

I would like to become more social and show the world the real me that i control my health and that i wont feel the need to leave something due to my aniety that i can stay and enjoy the day.

The Service today at Trent really opened my eyes to what i have been missing out on in life.
That although I have made a home in Grantham its time to start exploring, to open different paths, still taking what i have learned and still have the awesome people in my life but making way for a happy and brighter Future.

I have the wonderful James and Izzy to thank for inviting me along to Trent, and to the concept of church which i even admit when they first mentioned it my first thought was boring, sitting hearing people talk about Jesus etc.
Trent is more then just a place to learn about God, its a place to bring people Together, my only regret is not knowing about the place sooner, but i will always life by the rule that everything happens for a reason, you need the good and the bad times in your life in order to learn, to change, to re discover who you are, and connecting to people that will always be by your side (:

I can Honestly say that Trent has changed so many peoples lives and i hope they keep growing they keep making people happy and having all the wonderful memories to look back on !!!

So why not pop along to one of the services, and see what you think, tell your friends, family
and help spread the word (:

My Creative spark A year later !!! | Daniel Marshall Adventures

when i first decided that i wanted to blog about things, i had made a post about My photography and what it meant to me at the time, a lot has changed over the last year so i thought i would fill you in (:

In June 2016, I got funding from the Princes Trust After putting a business plan Together which was to create video content for businesses.

Before i got the funding, i had met someone to work on the plan, and branding, At the time i did not have a camera and i had to make do with what i had which was a Ipad Mini.

Even though i wanted to start a business up, i had no idea about a lot of things.Instead of learning about how to make videos to a professional standard, how to be a director in the sense of getting the clients to remember what they needed to say and even say stop if i felt it was not a good take, i knew none of this !!! i went into the deep end, having to get advice from people and self teach myself.

Putting the plan together was a nightmare, creating daft copies after draft, having to put long terms and short team goals, how would i market myself and things like that this often put a lot of stress on me and caused my depression to be really bad.
The finished product was a shirt with my branding, business cards and over 30 pages of a plan.

as you can see from the picture above.
Using the Ipad was so stressful as the tripod i had to fit a Ipad never seemed tall enough, so it was often put on boxes, I met with a business client to do a test video for their business
The whole process did not go great, the video went on Youtube Under private for months as the client was not happy with it and then i delete to get rid off all the footage ): as i was not happy with it either.

It was then i Realized that i was going to really struggle at the whole Business video approach and decided a few months later that running a business is not what i wanted anymore.
I had a lot of trouble of My website as me and the person creating it has different ideas and well we did not get on, someone else took on the website but this person could not grasp the concept that it needs to be modern and putting on a image from google images of Grantham was just not acceptable!!!
So the website that was known as Danmediaproductions.co.uk is no longer there.

As i now had my camera from the Funding i used it as a way out of the house, as that was the place that was causing me to become more depressed.
I started Making Vlogs which i had made in the past but this time talking about my issues and what i had been up to, i guess it was another way of trying to make myself feel better and put myself in a better frame of mind to get on with the day.
Most of the time these vlogs were filmed around Grantham, but the one i love the most is when I traveled to Lincoln to meet a group of people for a day out and met a local musician, I loved Lincoln because of the views of the water near the city Centre and of course steep hill which i had to walk up plus a hour from there in order to get to the pub where i was meeting the people (:
I enjoyed putting together the video after and its a great memory to look back in fact i have not been to Lincoln since that day ):


Back then my photography was not great either because i had no idea what settings to use combined with using a really awful editing program which at the time i thought it was great.
This program was called lightzone which was supposed to be like lightroom but instead made the pictures ultra small in size and look rubbish.

So i just kept learning, both with video production and photography in hopes something would click.
in August 2016 I had popped down to the local food bank, as i was in need of some help,
it was there i had met someone who worked there and was learning photography to,

We chatted and really got on (: I was then talking to Brian about what i wanted to do as a business, as we talked about creating a video for the food bank.


The first proper makings of putting a video Together and it did not go well, i told Brian this and tried again this time much better, so i created a few more about the team, and one other video (:

After that I noticed a protest going off to do with the closure of the Grantham A & E so i marched with them as well as quickly taking photos and putting a video Together of the day.


My Facebook went mad, with over 1,000 likes on my photos even though they were to me not amazing quality and the video was getting a lot of attention as well, this was when i knew i could still help my local community as a hobby instead (:

From that moment i started working on connecting with people and creating networking opportunities.

In December Sarah Stock was running for a campaign in Sleaford and asked if i could Film the whole conference, which was a good day out to support her and also help out, one to add to my portfolio.

I got the chance to watch a Lincolnshire County Council Meeting also in December, and then until the end of February 2017 The video making front went quiet.
I did not feel in a great place in my mind, and was not enjoying making them, so instead i focused more on learning photography, and working on my physical health as well.


The problem i have is i like to be creative, i like to explore and dabble into different things.
I love making music to and i was using my video skills to try and make visual music videos.
This took hours and days of watching videos on how to do certain things and waiting nearly half a day for the video to export !!!

In those 2 months i had not uploaded any video content, i was still trying to latch onto the idea that i could make videos for businesses.
I know the layout of how i want the video to go, but filming it and learning what effects you want is 2 different things.

So when you have the love of playing tennis and wanting to come up with a amazing creative video for that business, and just crumble under the pressure it really affects your thinking.
this was a intro i had made for the video at the time (:


I knew then that being a video producer just was not what i wanted to do anymore, so i looked around to see of any way of studying more about photography.
I was in look at Grantham college was having a min courses, which was a photography club once a month, and Photoshop lessons once a week !!!

Learning about what settings to use on the camera and learning how to edit photography was really paying off, i was noticing how much clearer my photos were and that photography i managed to capture of Nottingham last year was looking so much nicer and to this date love 2 photos i managed to make look amazing as you can see below (:


The need to try and be part of a community but also still make videos was urging to come out, so that is what i did another march to save Grantham A &E went off, this time wanting to put a better video together, the video did good but once again the photography was doing so much better !!

From that point is when my photography really took off, and i connected more and more with the community (:

The following week saw the biggest task at hand and a totally new experience for me, which pushed my anxiety levels to the max, as i was surrounded by nearly 250,000 people.

This was Going to London, to save our NHS !!!!!! Because i had got involved with the campaigning locally, i was asked to come with to march in London.

I knew my laptop was not great with battery left using editing programs but i still brought it with me, to edit Sarah Stock as she pumped up the bus journey and to transfer over 200 pictures and tons !!!! of video clips taken throughout the day of the march.
Between having a heavy backpack, my laptop, and holding now and then protest signs it made me so tired by the end.

Ive said it before but video production is not a easy job, you have to sort through all the clips to see which ones you will use, edit them, put graphics in, check levels etc, wait for it to export, upload it with good information about the video, share it to different sources, all that just for one video haha, and i had done 5 or 6 i think, on top of sorting through 200 photos to edit !!!

Again the community loved my pictures and again i knew that sticking to photography was my little niche (:

As well as improving my photography i was working on, networking with people and seeing what other ways i could help my community.
So i created a twitter called helping lincolnshire, where i could tweet and retweet anything to with events, posts that businesses had post etc just another source for people to find out whats going on around Lincolnshire !!!

If its not not being asked By ITV to use my photos of the marches in Grantham, then its using how open i am about my mental health and to also promote a good cause on the radio !!!

I had been working a lot on my physical health playing tennis, but also creating blogs about the scheme the tennis club had put on, I got asked to go on Gravity Fm, and then a week later, to BBC Radio Lincolnshire, this was again another step forward in my life using my skills !!

For me what i love about being creative is i take what i do in everyday life, like playing sports, going to the gym and make something more out of it that will help people !!!
I have already done a blog post about the gym i go to so i will not go into to much detail, but i used my photography and social media marketing skills to help them out (:

Another achievement for me was still not wanting to give up creating video but now looking at it from a different perspective, which was covering events.

This being only a few days after going on the radio so it was all happening so fast.
In April 2017 it was St Georges day In Grantham, with lots of stalls, Parades, Dancing and much more going off.




A Group called Octovox was Performing and i feel in love with them as they style was acapella,
and reminded me so much of pentatonix (:
After the day had finished i worked hard on editing the photos first, and then i made a video of just them singing, and a video about the Parade, using Octovox singing as the background hehe (:

I dont claim to be a expert at video production and i know my video making skills need to improve a lot, but as i mentioned above photography is more my passion.

I kept challenging myself to take the same photos every few months around Grantham, but to always improve.
One night it was really nice so i decided to take a small stroll around the town, I noticed the colorful sign of a betting shop and wanted to experiment with the picture when i got back home as you can see above.

One thing i know how to do is get the photos out there, to as many facebook groups, on twitter, instagram etc so again when you think of anything media related there is always much more work to it that people do not see, they just see the end result being the video, pictures etc (:

In may i wanted to challenge my aniexty but also expand my skills into seeing live bands around Grantham, and capturing it.
I love music and always will, even while i write this i am listening to music haha.
The first band i went to see Under the covers, I had brought my camera with me because i wanted to do if i could cope, sadly it got to much for me and left a hour in.
I wrote a blog post about seeing them though, which in fair was a short blog, but it seemed to do really well better then anything i had written at that time.

I forced myself to see more bands and even connecting with the guy who runs the scene who was also a photographer (:
Being able to connect with people gives you so much more insight into their lives but also you get to help each other.
I think the biggest life changing event in terms of my media skills has been meeting CJ Hatt



I really got on well with the guy, and he really liked me making videos of him performing and my photography so much that a few months later, i am going in the car with him to 2 events he played, getting a insight into a musicians life and keeps saying i am his official photographer hehe (:

Although that change in my life has set things in motion, i think for me my achievement in terms of video production  skills has to be when i covered a fun day a few months back at Dysart park in Grantham !!!!

I had decided the day before to do some Re-branding with watermarks both with photography and on the videos i made, which really worked a treat (:

I was at the event most of the day, and i think i walk around all the stalls and what was going off at least 10 times, trying to capture the best spots but to also make sure i was not missing something like the dog show as you can see with the picture above and below.

I had edited over 50 pictures, and now it was time for the video editing to start,
with events you need to put a good video together but its also time based, as the later you post it the less attention it will draw and well it was needed to be up quick for a reason that i did not even know of at the time.

With the video i wanted to create the theme of it being fun, since that was the meaning of the event.
The music i used with it worked like magic and i also added a comedy side to things towards the end.
Hannah who worked for the Fun day team, loved the video and photography, that she asked me if i could do my very first editorial for Grantham Matters, which they posted along with my work !!!
So you see if i had posted the video a week later and really nick picked at very little detail to maybe make the video better it would not have got the fame it did !!!! everything happens for a reason is my motto i live by (:

my biggest achievement though overall since starting my media Journey was being asked questions for the Journal and having a whole page about, where i came from and why i do what i do to help the local community !!!!
this last few weeks as been a lot of achievements as I had put a lot of photos together with a blog post about how Feel Good Fitness In Grantham has helped me so much, which got shared onto their page and a lot of people loved it (:
To entering my first photography competition for World Rivers day
 

I have my wonderful Counselor to thank who i had been seeing for a few weeks now, we talked about a lot of things, inc that i do a lot for the community, but not a lot just for myself, like going for walks and capturing the wonderful place of Grantham, something i had not done in so long because of still loving photography but it was more event based then inspired based !!!

The team who runs the rivers day loved my photo and used as their cover for the event.
On top of that when i went to the event, I was asked to be in a photo with others to be used in a upcoming Journal newspaper so fingers crossed its in there haha.

One of the things i love about being creative is stopping doing one creative thing to do another and things turning out great.
While i was writing about The London Experience, i wanted to go through and create black and white versions, in the past i never bothered with the concept as, black and white photography was not my thing, but the more i started to explore and love photography, the more i liked looking and creating them.




with making black and white photography, its not as simple as hitting the filter and hey you have it.
for me i like going into the filter, fine tune little bits, maybe make the sky a bit brighter, or for example on the picture above the sign saying no cuts more visible (:


For black and white i even start experimenting with shots taken in Grantham of just normal day life, but in a kind of Darker way as seen below (:


So overall its been a big year for me, My media targets may not have been hit to what i wanted to set out and achieve but with taking steps to push through my depression and aniexty, i have connected with the community, and i have achieved things i could never dream off !!!

I honestly can not even think where life will take me next, I just live each day as it comes, pay attention to what is going off in the world and try and help (:
if i can help just one person or one business, and put a smile on their faces then i am happy.
I dont make a living for this and do not see it in the future its just something i really love doing !!!

So there you have it sorry for the small pictures as, i cant seem to get a hang of using other sites, for now i keep blogging on blogger (:
If you would like to see full size photography of my work,

Rutland Water Park Running Photography Adventure !!! & More | Daniel Marshall Adventures

On Saturday 15th July 2017 was one of my best days both physically and mentally.

Earlier in the week i Had noticed a post by one of my friends on Facebook, asking support Sharon said i want to help in some small way to support the great work that Charities like Breast Cancer care do in supporting women and their families through Breast Cancer.
If you want to find out how you can help then i will leave the link at the end of this post (:

I could not afford to pitch in but instead wanted to run and support Sharon, for a good cause.
Sharon has mentioned the run was a park run at Rutland Water, a place i always wanted to go and capture photography.
I had done 6 Park run at Belton house but i had never been to Rutland water so i was really looking forward to it.

The place is about 25-30 minutes drive from Grantham, and I only knew a few days after that it was not Lincolnshire but in the boundary of Leicester.
Its amazing how 25-30 a different way can lead to a location still in Lincolnshire, but another be somewhere else.

Even to Nottingham it takes 45 plus to get there so this really shocked me.
I had to wake up at 6.45am as i always need a hour to try and wake myself up before doing anything.

Of course I was going to bring my camera with me as it might have only been a once in a lifetime thing.




As we got there i was stunned to see how big the place was someone said to run all around the place would be around 27 miles !!!!!

Stunning views of water that seem to go as far as the eye could see, beautiful Scenery and Buildings were in sight.

as we hanged around for a few friends from The running club, and a few of Sharon's friends, i became a explorer, and started quickly getting snaps of things that was around.

as we started to head down i noticed this amazing Restaurant with a stunning view in the background and i love how its turned out, I had no time to really take any of my shots, camera was just set on the best setting and quickly took as many shots as i could.




The start of the park run was a over 5 minutes walk, thinking it was near i kept taking my camera out as you could see for miles and even if i only managed to get a few shots of the day, its better then getting none.

It was time to focus on The park run, with hardly any warm up because of using the camera i tried my best to get my muscles relaxed.
My friend said to one of her friends would it be ok to pace me.
Meaning someone to run with who is around your level, to control how fast your going, as in a pack of 200 people you can get really lost how fast your running, thinking your at the right pace when you arent.



I didnt set myself up to get a Personal best, knowing that i was tired, i had not done any runs in a week, even though i had been playing tennis load and doing cardio i did lack run form.
As long as i finished the run with it being my first time at this location then i would be happy.

After around 10mins, i was feeling great at a good pace, as we approached i believe was some kind of bridge across the water.
the course was 2.5k there you turn around at a pole and do the same distance back, so while on the bridge you could see the really fast runners who get a time off just over 16mins running back.
This did not bother me because i felt so relaxed, calm and honestly it was like a out of body experience.
I had the soft gentle wind from the sea coming across my face, even though it was 17 degrees, it was not hot or cold, it was perfection.
One thing i hate is running in anything over 20 degrees.
My run performance  fluctuates overall anyway but in the heat i barley manage to do 3k, i get massive pains and feel like passing out, and although i struggle in the same heat while playing tennis somehow i can manage 4 hours in that heat its madness lol.

All i could think about while going across the bridge was just wow i so wish i had my camera on me right now !!!

as the second half of the course came into play i started to up my pace, still matching my pacer.
A marker came up which was 4k, only 1k left, the chap said to me you can stick with me or go ahead if you want, well this is me your talking about, of course i went for it.
Pain started to hit my chest, and my legs, i could hardly breathe and yet i felt like the flash, i was only getting faster and faster.
after only 500 meters i was like where is the bloody finish, i was about to give up, but something inside of me just wanted to keep pushing it.

Every part of me now hurt so much, and yet the will to do good kept me going, and to me my shock, i not only finished the run, not only beat my pacer, but was only 6 seconds !!!! off my personal best at Belton park run a location i had already done 6 runs at.
Not bad to say i had no idea what the course was like how to pace myself, and my first time being at that location,

So why did i manage to do i would say even better then my normal place of running ???

At belton its a 2 lap race, so when your seeing the course in front of you from the start, your brain plays tricks, seeing the course in front of you, and thinking i need to be this pace on lap 1 for me i struggle with.
Belton has nearly double the amount of people running nearly 400, so again when your all starting and you think your at a ok pace you get lost wanting to play catch up when in fact your burning yourself up on lap 1 and having nothing left on lap 2.
At belton, it has a lot of very uneven bumps, slopes, gravel  grass mud etc, which can make your feet very heavy.

where at Rutland Water because its mostly ran on a path, not hurting your feet, you have the wonderful views to take your mind off things, and to me its the best location i have seen so far for a run.

Talks are being made at the moment about doing a Peterborough park run in a few weeks time, which i hope can go ahead, another chance to test another course out and bring my camera with me (:

Everyone who ran at Rutland who came to support Sharon all got PB's inc Sharon, we was all very happy and took some group photos (:

I got Sharon to take one of me, which i love so much, and i managed to take a bit more time capturing some more photography before heading home.



I was in a super happy mood, but also very tired I said on the way back home, i wont be going to play tennis today, no way, i got back, and got a bite to eat, excited to edit the photos.

I am not sure if it was my positive mood or the fact that i had eaten or both, but around 12 o,clock i said to myself right i will go play tennis.

Social started at 2pm, and i wanted to get a bit of warm up practice in before hand, so i made sure to get there with about 45mins to spare.

I honestly felt like i was on a sugar rush even though i wasnt as i had boundless energy.
A little to much as i was making silly mistakes rushing into some of the shots due to being so happy lol.

I managed to control it a little as i went into the matches.
I have explained this before but for anyone who has not read my other blogs ill explain it a little.
At Grantham Tennis club you have social events, most times in the week.
The idea is the events are 2 hours long, you all right your name down on a sheet of paper, and tick the slots you want to play, so if you only want to play for a hour you tick 2 boxes out of 4 etc.
You play 4 half a hour matches, with different people, mostly doubles and some single matches.

A great chance to banter with people, play with people at different skill levels and learn from them while playing tennis.

I was playing so good, trying shots i have never done before again all because i was just so happy, which made me more happy when some epic moments happened in those games.

the last 10mins of the last match, my body just gave up, and had to end the match early i was still happy but i had clearly pushed my body to the edge and it had enough (:

So i had one of the most happiest days in my life full of adventure and fun !!!!
I could honestly say that i could spend all day at Rutland Water just walking around the massive 27 mile place, exploring and taking photos, i just wish you could access it better by public transport but i will one day go there again, even if its for another park run (:

I was going to add extra things to this blog about the amazing fun days i have had over the last few days but i think this is enough for one post !!!

If you are a park runner, please let me know your location you like the most (:

The Hidden stories I started on last year | DanielMarshallAdventures

As you can tell from now over 50 blogs i have written i love writing and getting my thoughts out.
Although i am not great at spelling or, grammer, there is nothing better then just letting your brain go wild to create your inner thoughts into stories.

When i was around 18 and studying music, i would often in my break just write little short stories of many different things, sadly i scrapped them, when i Moved to Grantham and which i had them to remind me of what went through my mind when writing it.

Writing in overall terms can be very difficult as often when we go to sleep and wake up the next day, we tweak, and even start over what we had already noted down.

For me i could blog all day, everyday about life, but when it comes to writing a story, i get a writers block, and with  a lot of writers comes that most used saying off, this time i will get my head and write, when in reality in hardly ever happends.

Its been a whole year since i ever touched my last writing project i was working on.

so i wanted to share with you some of what i had came up with,
Please note that again my grammer is not great, a story can be changed so often that i may even change bits if i ever decided to try my hand at it again.

Also please note that this is my wrote i hold all the originals and if i find someone has used it as there own etc, well you will see is all i am saying (:

The concept of this was to create people who had super powers and people who were supernatural but had some kind of superpower as well, so a vampire who could see the past and the future etc, this was a story i was so over the moon to write, and the more i did the more i enjoyed it.
Every chapter was going to switch in characters until certain parts came together, so you got a sense of the roles of the characters, but also how they found each other !!!!
                                             

Prologue

Read The book that breaks boundaries between the underworld and supernatural
as this book tells a story where people have powers and are unusually different .
we call them the divine.

These unique individuals  bring good but also many dark times, chaotic events have happened for centuries , unknown to the norm people , the people who can’t see the truth in this world,
the world the humans live in is always a lie.  Those weak minded humans sit and pray and cause there own chaos when the world is changing,  but only if they knew what truly was causing the destruction and unhappiness.
this story will chill you to the bone, and you wont want to take your eyes of the page
so sit back and prepare to have nightmares , as we are taking over tonight , this planet is ours and we do not share.

Chapter 1      It begins

I’m flying seeking out my prey who’s below on the mud, I can hear every foot print and he thinks I can’t see where hes going, I laugh to myself because I am so much superior , I am a divine creature and human , I am one of my kind , its about 9pm the moon is full and bright  and I have been toying around for to long now , I admit I love the fun the chase , it makes my skin boil , I have always been like that, I don’t go for the kill straight away I like to make my enemy think he has the better hand before delivering  the fatal blow.
where are my manners , my name is Samantha green but you can call me sam .
I am 500 years old but I look like im 20 , I am cute, well that’s what many guys have told me at least.
I am different to everyone because I am a vampire with a twist, you see not only am I a supernatural being but I also have powers that’s right , 2 powers in fact , I can see events , the past and the future now before you think that’s awesome, when I have these visions as such , i can never tell if they will come true because the past can come back to haunt you and the future well its never set in stone.
my other power is i can drink without getting drunk lol , yet again it can be good but also annoying because there are times where I wish I could get wasted , but oh well that’s what being a unquie person as myself is all about.
Now  were was we oh yes my prey , his body pouring with sweat as he trys to out run me,
There is road ahead in about a mile , I must take my chance before he reaches out to other people,
I have never once let any human know about me and im not letting that happened today.
I count to 5 then I close my wings and spiral down to him, with every second that passes to his demise  , my body shrecks with enjoyment, I know what I want and I know im about to get it.
I slam down infront of him as he halts to a stop and looks straight at me, his hands and legs shaking, his mouth wide open and I can see he knows his life is about to come to an end.
He Speaks  to me Almost crying but even in the face of danger, he holds it back
What !! are you , Who are you !! What do you want from me .
I wait about 10 seconds  before replying  just to keep him more on edge , When im about to kill someone I like the intensity of the conversation because it makes the victims’ blood taste so much better . 
You don’t need to know who I am I say to him in a wickely sounding voice, all you need to know is your about to die, I promise you sounding sincere but also with a grin, it will be quick however I cant promise you it wont hurt, I like pain I like my victim to feel every bit, the blood gushing out and the feeling that their hearts are about to stop.
I take a bolt of a step but before I could reach the lad , My body made me stop, I Froze in fact, My Head pounding ,  I could feel like I was coming in and out of reality, My vision was impaired , I felt dizzy and then just like that I collapsed .
It felt like hours had past when I finally woke  up, But something didn’t feel right , I was no longer in the forest , I was no longer on my feet and the lad well he wasn’t there either,
I was sitting in a old leather sofa , that clearly had seen better days .  My eyes scanned the room , noting down in my head every detail that my eyes could see, My skin ,also sensing if there was any danger around outside of the place but there was none.
In the room There was a clock that I believe  hadn’t worked in months,  Old tv , Old ornament’s , everything  was really old as if no one had been in the property for years
The most creepy  thing my eyes saw was about 15 photographs  on walls, and in picture frames of a young girl, about my age.  My eyes sparked wide open as I Realised all the pictures were of me,  I never  fell Truly in love with anyone  so who has  Pics of me , at this point for the first time in my life I was really scared,  I’ve always done the hunting and yet my instintics  felt like I was being the hunted, im in this strange place instead of the woods and someone knows about me, weather they know who I truly am that is a mystery I hope no one solves  but still its concerning  Me because who ever has taken  these clearly doesn’t live here anymore, I feel so confused .
And in that instance I was back In the forest still running to the human as if time it self hadn’t passed , my thirst and hunger was at the most intense level and all I could think about was feeding,
I opened his artery on his neck and started  biting so hard, blood filling my mouth and covering teeth , I kept biting more and more harder and harder until the lad flawed into my arms  he was no more.
as I sat there with the lad in my arms ,  my thrist and hunger  now gone, all I could think about was that event. Was it the past or future , why did it happen  and what did It mean , I shook my head , cleared my mind , picked myself up and buried the body in the ground so no one knew what happened.  It only takes me a matter of mins to burry a body due to my claws and my strength as a divine Creature I can do things much easier then a normal human being.

Chapter 2            Abilities

In sunny side Virginia We follow a young boy who discovers something about himself,
It is 8am and Michael aged 11 is getting ready for school , he packs his bag full of homework, and other  quirky things he likes to have when he is  bored in lessons,  like his Gameboy and music player.
he has spiky brown hair , Blue eyes and a caring personality.  He has blue sports sneakers on which he adores because his father brought him them about a year ago for his birthday , he uses them to walk, run and even play sports with, he often shows them off to his friends , who  get jealous because their parents can’t afford nice things for them.
The school Bus arrives and His mum Shouts him down, gives him his lunch and kisses him on the cheek goodbye , as he opens the door His mum shouts you behave today young man, and don’t get into any fights,
Michael replies with a smile and shuts the door.
The bus is full of Noisy kids who have just had sugary sweets and breakfast that gives them the energy needed to get through the school day.  Michael was sat with Sophie, and Lawrence  his 2 friends who he knew since being about 6 years old.  They all lived In the same  neighbourhood ,  They had many  adventures together ,  Ranging from going on long walks to abandon sites, To playing video games and role playing , They pretend to be in this fantasy world , where there are supernatural beings, and people with powers.
The place would always change but there identity’s would always remain the same
Sophie Being a supernatural vampire, The good kind not the bad who helps defeat other supernaturals , then there’s Lawrence who liked being a werewolf, he liked chasing Sophie down ,
but the 2 were always matched with the same skill and speed so neither of them ever won,  which Lawrence always hated because he wanted change he wanted to win and have power.
Last but least was Michael aka mike he was a unusual being he was just him but he did have a power  that matched the rest of them . He could change the course of history By freezing time , moving people around, moving them away from danger or putting objects  in place of them.
they all wished many times that their role playing would become reality , Sophie would only change one thing and that’s  her and Lawrence were best friends  instead of chasing each other in a never ending loop in reality.
as the bus was only a few mins approaching the school , Michael remembered seeing a poster for a new board game that was coming out a role playing game, which would go so well with there adventures
He bounced up and down with exciment and telled  both of them about it and that they should go to the  mystical realm shop after school which was the best shop in town.
If you were into role playing, supernatural , or fairy tales that was the place to shop,
it sells shelves of artifacts, Books, comics , Gadgets you name it , Michael was thinking if I had a ton of money , my house would be so full of cool unique things.

The day was passing by it was now 1.30 in the afternoon and the 3 of them were all studying history
Mr Reynolds was the Teacher and had taught history for 2 years now , it was his passion , On many occasions  Instead of following  the curriculum he would tell the class to put their books away and simply listen to his many tales about  his explorations and stories of his granddad  who fought in the war.
Mr Reynolds was only 30 years old , he has part of a beard growing , long side burns and Long Blue wavy hair . He was quite tall 6 ft to be precise , His fashion sense though could do with a tweak,
He wore mostly the same jeans everyday and they were falling to pieces because of how much he travels and digs, most weekends he would find himself at a construction site looking  for any rare and unusual artefacts , hence why he should really buy new clothes.
He loved his job and his hobbies and after he told his adventures and stories He announced to the class that they could get the change to go on a felid trip for some extra credit.
Mr Reynolds handed out letters to give to their parents, Lawrence, Sophie and Michael were all talking between them saying that it will be a smashing idea , They all loved exploring and have very active imaginations , so this was perfect, 
The school bell went and with that it was on to the last lesson of the day, Both Michael and Lawrence enjoyed I.T  The lessons covered many things from data input, To Creating  Posters and many more technically Work.  The Teachers would often walk up and down helping anyone with problems and checking if everyone was doing The right things and not playing games.
For Michael and Lawrence They were wizz kids when it came to hiding websites, such as games,
Adventure Quest also known as Battleon  Was the game They had a bond over , Many hours were spent on the game , It  started of very basic but over the years it grew so much adding many stories The company Grew that much it managed to create a spin Of Game called dragon fable
Lawrence sent a message Over msn To warn  Michael that when you reach the guardians post to battle the stumbling  Ox you need a sword that you get when you defeat  a different monster called  brunt the warrior in the mages outpost.
The 2 of them were always close in level and Objectives, Michael thanked him sending a thumb up emoji . It was about 20 mins before the end of the day , work had to be done so the teacher didn’t suspect anything,  So they put their heads down,  and produced something  that the rest of the class had spent all lesson doing,
The  School bell rang again as it was finally the end of the day, but before the class could leave
Miss Jenkins the I.T  Teacher spoke Reminding everyone about the homework that they needed to do over the next few days , she was very strict if you missed any homework because of a poor excuse she would death stare you and make you crack until you whimpered sorry .
The homework was to create a questionnaire and knock on peoples doors asking questions
quite simple really the hard part was thinking what kind of questions to ask.
As the class were leaving To go home , Sophie sprinted up to Lawrence and mike  and asked if there all were still going to the  mystical realm , Mike responded  with the biggest smile ever , Of course we are I wouldn’t miss Getting that new board game we best hurry though in case the shop sells out quickly. Anything new in this town people went mad for.

As they approached the shop, there was so many people inside, A big poster was outside on the window and it big letters it said 20 percent off everything not only that but next to it a smaller poster adverting the new Board Game It was Called Sprit Dice. The Game would normally be 20 pounds but because the store was having a sale not only was it a new game but they could get it cheaper at only 16 pounds.
As they battled Through the Crowds To Reach the game, Luck was on their side today as Michael Reached For The Last One left. A strange Feeling went into his fingers, making him shuddered .
Unknown to him, A Bizarre occurrence Had Happened, It was Brief Lasting all but 2 seconds , Everyone in the store had completely  froze  , but not mike of course he didn’t know what was going on because he had his eyes fixated on the board game.
The 2 Seconds had passed and Mike turned to Sophie and Lawrence , Who looked very confused , Michael looked puzzled and asked both of them if they were ok,  Lawrence looked at him and spoke quickly  Of course I am. Sophie hesitated For a second and said yep lets pay for the game and go home. Sophie Didn’t want to feel embarrassed or think  she would be laughed at but something didn’t feel right. She had a huge stabbing pain in her chest, making her want to be sick , she took a deep breath holded the pain in and went on with the rest of the day.
It was 5pm The nights sky Getting darker as time went by, all through  the day it spitted with rain but now it looked like it was going to thunder and bucket it down.
All of them rushed home so they didn’t get caught in a thunderstorm or worse big rocks of hail.
Michael’s parents agreed the night before that sophie and Lawrence could come over to have tea so they all after could crack into the game and have fun.
For Tea was Michaels mums  signature Dish Suet Crust Beef Pie she had made it many times, For 2 reasons , she loved making this dish and she was perfecting it to be put forward into a Cooking competition.
Michael’s mum loved cooking , when she wasn’t busy at work, or doing the housework , she

would often read cooking books, watch the cooking channel and practice her skills.
The 3 of them were always saying to her that she would be a world class chef,
piles of people would line up for her food and she would be famous.
But for her being a mom was its own reward she didn’t want fame or money .
No as long as people enjoyed her food then that always put a smile on her face and warmed her heart.
The 3 of them wolfed down the food like there was no tomorrow  and couldn’t stop  thanking her  for the best food in the world.
