Im writing a story and I need ppls opinions on my first paragraph, you know how in Warriors Erin Hunter always puts at least one paragraph thats farther into the book before she actually starts the book? Thats what this is.

Misty stares at Grant petrified, her eyes dart to the chains around her wrists, and at the other end Grant holds them, something flickers in his eyes. Fear? Pain? Joy? Misty doesnt know but it puts an odd sense of terror in her. The chains jingle and echo through the temple, Maru behind him holds his hands in a paticular manner as he controls Grants blood. A smile spreads slowly through Maru's face, and he lowers his head as he starts to laugh sending a chill through Misty's entire being. He flicks a few fingers and sends Grant flying toward Misty, she turns and tries to run, but Maru makes Grant pull back the chains and collide with her. Grant lands on top of her, pinning her down and holding a knife to her throat, "Misty" He murmurs. "Whatever happens... Remember its not me doing it, its Maru." He coughs up globs of blood and a small amount trickles down the corner of his mouth. Maru laughs again, "It might be me making you do it Grant, but it will still techinally be you torturing her." He throws back his head, his matted fiery red hair clumped together with blood, he makes Grant pull the knife closer to Misty's throat. She yelps as the cold metal slowly cuts into her, Misty tries to shake Grant off but he keeps her down under him like dead weight. "Misty..." Grant begins to say, and thats when she hears something unsheath and the sickening noise of something cut through flesh. In the corner of her eye, she sees Grants head roll to the side, Misty releases a blood-curdling scream.

Very strong content, but I feel detatched from the characters. Maybe be more poetic?

And remember this- when people tell you what's wrong with you're writing, they are almost always right.
When people tell you exactly how to fix it, they are almost always wrong.

He looked up at her, a stain on his face, chains on his wrists. His eyes said 'I love you' his hands echoed hate. One possessed him, his fist held his heart, and the boy could not fight. No more than he could deny his own blood.

He reached for her, knife in his fist, tears in his eyes. "I'm sorry." He whispered. So wretchedly sorry. If only it were her and not he doing the deed. His own worst enemy. His own defeat.

A scream went up. Skin was cut, and a heart was torn.

View attachment 1238266 Another one! I like the very last horse to the right cuz it’s legs look good.
Fanci do the heads look too small for the body?

Beautiful job! I've experimented with horses but am no good... I do best with their heads and lack strength when drawing their legs and bodies. (Never mind the headless horseman, this is the situation of the non-bodied horse).

Thank you!
Yeah the bodies are tough. I’m working on mastering legs and angles/bending of the legs.

No problem! Practice makes perfect. The crease of their legs are the trickiest, it has to match their movement and the level of their terrain. I think the legs you've done look wonderful, very realistic.
