In the dimly lit alley of a nondescript city, two figures approached each other from opposite directions, each stepping with practiced silence. The first was Agent Sarah “Shadow” Lennox, a veteran of countless covert operations, her reputation marred only by her notorious stubbornness and disdain for working with others. The second was Agent Mark “Ghost” Callahan, equally seasoned but known for hi...

Our lips kiss and soon we both open our mouths. I think _passion_, and _love_. I want to gag as he feels around my mouth.

"And cut! Next scene!"

The director comes over to me as Dominic (aka Rick) gets his hair fixed.

"Bring more love to it. I know you are trying, but bring on the passion. This is the love of your life. Got it?"

"Yup. Got it." I say and try and remember all the thoughts to t...

You know I don’t like you.

Same here.

Let’s just get this done.

Nothing is fun....

“I don’t like you.”

“Feelings mutual, Sunny.”

Pippa visibly cringes at the nickname.

“It’s Beacon. I’m only doing this because of Cotton,” she corrects. It felt wrong. The only nickname she ever accepted (while in hero mode) is Tink. And that’s Cotton’s name for her.

“Yes I am aware. Somehow my brother found someone that actually likes him,” Whirlpool comments, looking at her nails, feigni...

I did not just hear him right. This is my dehydration talking, this whole conversation is a figment of my imagination.

I stare at Tate, as my body catches up with my brain. A losing battle. My chest heaves as I struggle to keep my rising pulse steady as he had commanded.

“Thought you’d be an ass man” I attempt to sound mocking but instead my words come out breathy.

He swallows before consider...

“This would never have happened if you had of just listened to me, your arrogance will get you killed one day.” I spat in his direction, not bothering to even look at him as I spoke.

“Killed? No, fucked? yes.” He retorted, his voice dripping with that, all too familiar, arrogance I had come to loathe.

“For once would you think about something other than sex? Do you realise the gravity of this ...

“Alright class I’m going to break you into pairs to work on this lab. I know you have partners but we are mixing it up just for today” groans immediately escaped the class. Mrs Felts immediately started back up while waving her hands for calm “relax it’s just for today since we have a few people missing and it’s good for you to work with others for a change”. Unfazed by the students protesting she...

Gray sniffed the dead leaves on the ground. There was a faint trace of another wolf on his territory, but the scent was unfamiliar. He came to a stop, unfamiliar smells lay beyond him. Did he dare to go? It was unsafe, and leaders from generations ago would be very unhappy that he had broken this rule of crossing.

**_They’re dead. What would they do? Send a lightning bolt from the moon? _**Gray ...

“I hate this.” Will said. He threw his bag against the wall.

“Well what did you expect would happen?” I said ducktaping my shoe together, “We’re the two best students at the academy, of course they’re going to put us in the task.”

“I know but I never expected you to get in.” Will said.

“Thanks ever so much. That’s so kind of you.” I said sarcastically.

“Shut up Evelyn.” Will said. I smiled sarcast...

Autumn clouds gently obscured the evening, creating a sense of solitude and chill. It was an unusual evening at the Niagara River Railway station, with only three passengers present. The first individual, a man with white hair, blue jeans, and a black jacket, appeared to be around 43 years old. He stood near a pole, his gaze empty and his hair unwashed, emitting a certain odor that hinted at his s...
