Rushing waves crashed at Ammer's feet, spraying drops of water upon his face. The ocean breeze swept through his clothing. Cree and Mae stood solemnly beside him.

Ammer gazed across the sea. He was on his own. No Whitlock. No Mother. No one to save him besides his brother and friend. But what could three children do against a dark lord?

"Does this adventure feel meaningless to anyone e...

Ammer, Cree, and Mae climbed aboard the tottering carriage.

"Everybody set?" The aged coachman whipped the hurried steeds into motion without waiting for the children to respond.

"What if I said no?" Cree muttered under his breath.

"Quit it, Cree. We have much to discuss." Ammer straightened. He enjoyed being the one in charge. "This is a Delmont carriage. Since the Rogues know w...

"There's something I need to tell you," the Doctor's voice hitched. "I'm not your boyfriend."

"I never thought you were." Clara whispered. Her eyes were locked on the Doctor.

"I never said it was your mistake."

The Doctor turned on his heel and snapped his fingers. The TARDIS doors flew open.

"You want me to leave?"

"I want to be alone." The Doctor stood very tall and...

If I could count the ways I love you I'd be counting for eternity.

I'd discover numbers that don't yet exist.

Every star would perish, and billions would be born, before I'd finished.

I believe, if I were to measure my love for you, it would outweigh anything else in the universe.

The strongest forces of nature would gaze upon my love with jealousy.

I loved you in secret, grieving the rom...

"It's okay, Laura."

John's brawny arm nudged Laura's side.

Confused, she turned her eyes toward John and swallowed hard. "What are you talking about?"

"It's not your fault they're mad at you. You made a mistake, that's all. Everyone makes them. It's not the end of the world because Laura Brown messed up." John's voice was quiet, but his eyes swam through her's like they were atta...

I knew we were soulmates.

Since the very beginning, there was something different about you.

You made me feel safe.

So safe that I fell in love with you.

What a foolish, but honest, mistake.

How could I have known?

A tragedy had befallen us.

We were two sides of the same coin, always together, yet forever apart.

Doomed to exits in a world with each other.

One where we can never meet.

On...

To find somewhere you belong and then have it torn from your grasp is truly tragic.

As a child, I never belonged anywhere.

I was never very popular; I never stuck out.

I kept to myself because no one was interested in knowing me.

I'd make a friend or two, but they'd never last.

Soon enough, they'd leave me for someone else.

I didn't belong, until one day, I did.

I found a place to call h...

The nausea crept up her throat from the pit of her stomach; the realization that yesterday was real. She had done what she needed to, at least, that's what she told herself in attempt to consolate her conscience.

Slowly and methodically, she made her way to the bathroom sink and turned on the faucet, letting it run until steam fogged up the mirror. With hesitation and closed eyes, Cass plung...

"Who are you?" - those were the hardest three words to hear in my life.

Ellie Hart was, and always will be, the love of my life. Decades ago, I was crazy about her, and she adored me like nothing else on this earth. We were inseparable.

I still remember the first time I laid eyes on her at Bremington High School. I knew then, as young as I was, that I had never seen anything on God's g...

With the Villagers gone, the Flame Defenders can see us plainly. If only my orange hair wasn't a dead giveaway, we might go unrecognized. With their guns in hand, the FDs charge toward us.

"Take my hand." Jacob shoves his hand at me.

"No way!" I push it away and turn on my heel, but my ankle still throbs. I stifle a cry as a sharp pain shoots up my leg.

Without hesitation, Jacob ...
