edit:i know this is way long over due but heres chapter two from know on ill be realesing a chapter every week.

Chapter one
James
On a dark and cold winter night there were knights who had thought
they
had conquered evil forever. A howling wind passed by a young boy who
was
on patrol. The boy was no older than 16 with black hair and blue eyes,

he was James the son of noble John the smither. At this time, James was
a
knight; he was a low ranked knight, the lowest actually. But the King
saw he had much promise. The King and James* father had been good
friends as children. So it saddened him to see that James was having
trouble with his duties as a knight.

James got no respect and the other knights gave him tasks such as
cleaning
their clothing or washing plates and silverware and things of that
nature.
So the King was sad, for he could do nothing to help. James on the
other hand
was very joyful because he did not have to fight or train so he did the
grunt work
continuously. As there was no evil, the knights stopped training as
much
and after a time became out of shape and unfit. Since James was doing
all the physical labor, he became stronger.

The king became aware of this so he gave James an assignment to take
patrol because even though they thought they had defied evil they
still
watched out for signs. You know, just in case. James was frightened by
the dark.
Not the bravest of boys, he would continue to watch the street. He
could not have
guessed what would soon happen -- a man ran by him showing great
interest in getting far away from something. James stopped the man and
asked "What are you running
from?* Well instead of replying, the man ran -- or tried to run. But
he
could not escape James*s grip. Even though James was the weakest one
of the knights, he was still very strong but he did not like to show
it.
James asked once more in a much more commanding voice "What are you
running from?"

The man struggled to break free but couldn*t. And a final time James
asked in the most threatening tone he could find in him "What are you
running from?" The man, now very frightened, finally whispered an
answer. As if it was his last breath, he said "It!" as he
pointed down the old and broken gravel road to what was empty as far
as
James could see. But as he looked more carefully, he saw a... well he
didn*t know what it was!

It looked almost human but had some quality to it that made him know
it
wasn*t. James could see pure evil in its eyes that were dark brown
--
almost black and had no life in them. It was as if it had once been
human but now it had been transformed. The man looked at James and
said
said "Run!" James let the man go but he could not stand on his own.
The
thing was approaching quickly so James had no choice but leave the man
there. For even though James was not brave, he felt a need inside
himself to kill like it was the human thing to do. It was as if he had
to it was an urge to stop this... this... this evil.

It felt like all humanity needed it to die; as if James loathed this
thing. He knew he had to kill it! So he removed his sword from its
case
and charged the beast. As he became closer it seemed that it was
dressed
in all black clothing and it had clothes that were very strange torn
clothing just pieces covering its entire body. Other than the eyes it
also had a strange sword -- it seemed to be a strange metal gray and
silver and dark. But it was very clean and sharp. The sword was the
same
size at the base and tip but it curved in and then out again in the
center. As it grew closer, James became more aware of what he was
running towards. Soon it had reached him. It did not stop. It went
though him simply though him, not slowing or stopping. James never
even
flinched. But he grew cold remembering very bad things -- the worst
things he knew, like the death of his mother. The thing had paralyzed
him. James was standing there motionless, seeing flash backs.

James snapped out of this just in time to see the man die by the
things
claws. Now he knew what it was. It was evil and that is all it was.
James started to cry for he had gone through quite an ordeal that
night.
After he stopped crying he stood there thoughtless expect for the
fresh
stain of the memory he had blocked out three years ago.

Chapter 2
James had a brother named Chris. They were very close, the closest two
brothers could be. They were inseparable. As Chris sat there, in front
of his sick brother, he remembered the old memories they had shared. Two
stuck out in his mind. First, the day Chris and his brother took a day
for themselves. It was a hot summer day and work had to be done like
feeding the horses cleaning washing cloths and stable duty. *All this
work will take forever." was James*s attitude. Soon, he talked his
brother into going to their secret meadow in the mountain. There were
grass and sunflowers larger than a bear. They laid a top the hill with
the biggest tree and looked out into what they saw as an endless
paradise. James showed Chris the beauty of the grass waving back and
forth in the wind, gleaming with sunlight. They watched the birds flock
to the flowers. Only thirty feet behind them was a grand waterfall
ending in a very deep pond. The brothers fell silent and admired the
beauty of nature. Chris loved his brother for finding how to express
this beauty in his own simple words. It felt like they were in a world
were all things were a masterpiece, each as valued as gold. That was the
first memory that came to Chris*s mind.
His second memory was dark. It was of the day his mother died. She had
been ill for three years before her death. He hated to remember her
pain. Although he had been unable to move, she could still talk. His
mother was a great woman never slowed by age or sleep. She would do all
you needed as long as you asked nicely. She died at the age of forty
five, a young age to die. She looked at James and Chris with tears in
her blue eyes. With a horse voice, she asked them to come closer. With
her last words, she told them "Don*t be sad for me sons. I have done
what I was put here for, to raise you two the best I could. I am ready
to pass on. In a voice now barely a whisper, she said *Just know one
thing.* I love you.* She then died.

Chris was crying. James turned him around and hugged him tightly. He
whispered things like *its okay. It*s all right and she loved
you.* That night no one slept as they cried for their mother. That
memory now taking place of the other, he looked down at James and took
an oath "I will find the person responsible for this and I will kill
them all. I swear it.*

Moved to Creative Writing.

One suggestion would be to use punctuation. It's very difficult to read a 700 word sentence.
