Here is a book that I started writing when I was eight or so and I am still writing it til this day. It's been about five years now and it still isn't finished. Here a sample of it:
A Secret To Keep
Author: Rina Love
#1 The Perfect Spot
"Hey Lyss," cried Marina from the ocean shore. "come on in. The water is really warm." It was the beginning of summer break. Alyssa Periwinkle and Marina Shell decided to spend the summer down at the ocean. They had bought a small rustic green cabin with wooden trim three years ago. They were now seventeen.
"I'm coming!" Alyssa called back to her. They have known each other since they were five. They're best friends. They both LOVE the ocean. They lived by it in Florida. Their families decided the girls should go to the Caribbean for the summer.
Alyssa grabbed their masks and fins and ran to meet Marina. Alyssa has dark, shoulder length hair and green eyes. She enjoys adventuring and swimming. She is very funny and can be very stubborn. Marina (or Rin) has blue eyes and golden brown shoulder length hair. She also enjoys adventuring but is more laid back and smooth.
They have a special relationship with the water animals. Most fish will swim away when you get to close, but Rina and Lyss can sit right in the coral reef and, if anything, the fish will only get closer. They spend a lot of time with the dolphins that live rite there, Mieka, Flyn and occasionally Bubbles. Alyssa and Marina get to ride on their backs whenever they wished.
One day, when the girls returned from bathing suit shopping, they decided to have a picnic. They packed up the lemonade, B.L.T.s, sour cream & onion chips and water melon and were on their way. They decided to go to the beach rite in front of their cabin. Nobody ever went there because they didn't know about it.
As they approached the beach, they saw a mountain of rocks. As they got closer, they noticed a large crack in the side off the cliff face. They crawled through it. On the other side of the rocks, was a beautiful cove. Sitting on a rock a little ways out, was a girl that looked about seventeen or so.
"Wow!" they said as they looked ate the aqua blue, crystal clear water. The girl heard them and leapt of her rock into the water. They heard the splash and looked up. Her head was all they could see as she swam out from behind the rock. Slowly she made her way towards them. As she got closer, Marina noticed something strange about the girl.
"Alyssa," whispered Marina,"look!"
