Nicole sighed as she walked through the old halls of Jefferson High School, home of the Cougars.

Each new hallway brought fond memories that caused her to sigh even deeper as they flooded her mind.

There was the janitor’s closet where she had been locked in for almost an entire day of school, before Mr. Henderson found her eventually. The principal had thought it to be a horrific experience for...

A bright flash of light and a sound like thunder in her ears forced her to close her eyes shut, clenching her teeth in anticipation of the pain to come.

But it never came.

The horror before her eyes shocked tears to her eyes and sent them tumbling down her cheeks. A silent scream scratched it way up Caleb’s throat as his body plummeted to the ground with an earth shattering thud.

His bright gr...

“Exploration Log 472.

Found several new rock formations to the west of amandoned Xindett encampment 12. They seem to have been recently uncovered due to the sandstorm last week and hold some intricately carved pictograms and symbols. Have yet to determine their purpose or meaning. Will require further study,”

Chet closed his journal with a “snap”, wiping sweat from his brow as he attempted to sh...

“Zane!”

I could distantly hear my name, almost as though it was far away. I wrenched my eyes open, my vision hazy and my mind foggy as I tried to bring myself out of the darkness I was in.

I saw flashes of blue and red, colors starting to become clear as I rubbed a hand against my eyes, the digits digging into my sockets.

I was finally able to concentrate on the voices, the cacophony of sounds...

“I know I should’ve left you behind today,” Jace muttered as he practically shot daggers into his favorite leather jacket, the embroidered patches and ruddy scent taunting him.

He slumped against the cold stone wall, his gaze shifting out of the cell towards the far wall, examining the cracks that resided there. A sigh escaped through his nostrils as his thoughts turned to how he had gotten into ...

Tanya took a deep breath through her nose, trying her hardest to sustain some form of composure despite the awkward situation.

She had come to FledgeCorp for an interview, simple. What wasn’t simple was that Stone Devers had also come for an interview, sitting in the waiting room in a tailored suit and - were those, sneakers? - looking as calm as Tanya was nervous. To make matters worse, the pow...

I slammed my bedroom door behind me, leaping onto my sprawling bed and allowing the soft mattress to consume my body.

I had been sent to my room - without dinner mind you - for speaking out of turn and expressing my personal thoughts towards trade; again

Being the third son of the king and queen of planet Gilldon was certainly a more bothersome task than I could have ever imagined, considering t...

“You want me to do what?!” I asked, jumping from my seat in shock.

“Run for the presidency miss. Your credentials all check out and your last speech really envigrated the public. Plus, your numbers in all of the polls have been rising steadily. If you were to enter the race against Phillips and Sorensen, I’m certain you would succeed brilliantly,” my secretary Olivia said very matter-of-fact-ly. ...

The spell broke, and just like that, she could see everything with fresh eyes, almost as if a haze had lifted from around her.

“It cannot be!” A crackly voice screamed, drawing her attention to a hooded figure merely a few feet away from her own position.

The wind whipped through Kyleena’s hair, the blonde tendrils blown in every direction. She would never tire of the sensation that riding Sinia would give her, the feeling of gliding through the air as if she had her own set of wings.

“Don’t think you’ll get away from me that easily!” Dyviss called after her, his own dragon not far behind her’s.
