All I want is that the characters don't change dramatically, and that the emotion remains realisitic to our world. IE, I don't want Crystal to suddenly like what is happening, unless it is realistic for some random girl to be picked off the street and like having holes poked through her. I don't really care what happens with this story. As far as I care, anyone can take anything from it and make it their own. In fact... I'm going to copy-left everything I post, and put that information in my profile after I'm done with this. But yeah, if you help me out, I'll give credit to you in the story.

You are mostly reporting as opposed to telling a story. If you want characters that stand out you need to give them their own voices get into their heads and let them tell the story through their words and actions. A bit more dialouge would help but if you are going into their thoughts you need to work out a Point of View (POV) you can tell it all in the third person omnipotent POV. It means that you the writer know what every one is thinking as well as what is said. It works but it's not all that convincing. Good for action dramas but not real good at describing characters in depth. Telling stories in first person POV means that one of the characters is telling the story so it's limited to what that person actually knows and sees but it can make that persons really come alive, you know there thoughts their motivations their emotional responces etc.
In any event useing a lot more description will help it doesn't have to be every little detail but a well described detail can really add a lot.
the feeling of the needle pushing, stretching, the nipple sideways until it finally pops through the flesh and a trickle of blood runs down her breast. Now was she screaming through it all or looking on in shocked silence as the sharp metal forced it's way through her tender flesh?
Your the writer you're the only one who can say.
