In the fifth grade I discovered fan fiction writing a lot of fan fics but none of my own ideas and then I discovered daily prompts from a YouTube video and it has helped me out I still write fan fics but I am trying to focus on my own stories now 😊😃😎

Illness

Movement was hard; it hurt to move. God being sick sucks, the only plus side was that I got out of school and the uninterrupted alone time with Draya. Not that I felt up to doing anything more than cuddling with her while we binge watched TV and that was only when I was awake. Speaking of which I was actually just waking up from a nap. I let out a little moan of discomfort alerting Draya who was s...

Snow

The sun light is glistening off the untouched blanket of snow making it sparkle like a blanket of diamonds. It was the first snow fall of the year on the first of December no less and it was still steadily falling. Yet school was not closed; I swear the second ice age has to hit before they close Madison schools. It has been that way my entire life. A snow day was a rarity in my childhood. I remem...

All this has happened before, and it will all happen again.

Every year is the same, the extended family gathering at my parents' house.

We used to all gather at my grandmother's house until she simply got too old and hosting thanksgiving became too stressful for her.

Our house however was acceptable. We had plenty of seating and place settings at the main table and the kids table was a perfect fi...

The Conversation

Draya didn’t bother to turn on the lights on in her bedroom as she could see perfectly well in the room, and I didn’t need light to navigate the room. I knew that room like the back of my hand I could walk through blindfolded. I sit down on Draya’s king size bed and Draya sits beside me, putting her arms around me. “Maybe we should break in those new outfits Haley got for us.” She’s suggested.

“No...

The Gift

She accepted the gift, feeling a swirl and mix of feelings inside of her.

I know this because how could Draya not be feeling that when accepting a gift from her party crashing ex? Also because of the kind of person Ruby was. Although not all bad I had more reasons to dislike Ruby, too many to overlook and too many for me to like Ruby. I didn’t hate her, but I didn’t like her either. However, I was...

Happy Birthday

Everything was ready; the time, the place, the guestlist, the gifts, the decorations. (Including a net that spanned almost the entire ceiling of the barn holding dozens upon dozens of multicolored balloons and confetti. The the simple pull of a rope would release the multitude of balloons down on the party goers.) Everything now we just had to get the birthday girl here.

Celeste had mentioned tha...

I am asleep, in my Draya’s arms when I am woken by Cyndi Lauper’s young voice singing from my phone. I grab it from my bedside table and checked the caller ID, but didn’t recognize the number. Draya was peering at the phone screen from over my shoulder as well then said “That’s David’s number… best answer it princess if he’s calling it is most likely important.”

“Hello?” I answered the phone grogg...

I sighed heavily as I closed the heavy oak front door behind me. I was grateful that Celeste was staying with David; as a safety precaution against the hunters. I wasn’t up for an interrogation or argument and having the house to myself tonight would be nice; it will give me time to relax and think how to best handle this delicate situation. I need a hot shower and sleep, maybe even a blood bag or...

I sat on my bed in the apartment that I was currently calling my own. The room with it’s plain dull white walls and a pale white light made it feel colder than usual, at least colder than Sal’s cafe or my safe house with a roaring fire in the wood burning stove. I look around the room it was very small and very simple; Serena’s bed sat across from mine and a bed side table that we shared in betwee...
