Surya stared at the bleeding man at her feet. She was tired of this; men trying to attack her. They always ended up dead. They always ended up in trouble. They needed to learn.
She walked away as fast as she could. She didn’t want to get caught up in this again. She knew that the police would be on her within the minute they saw this. They always showed up at her house.
Surya made her way to h...

But he cut off her favorite part of herself.
Alladin got magic wishes.
But his life changed completely.
Magic comes with a price.
Are you willing to pay?...
I ran down the street looking for anywhere to hide but all I saw were locked up houses. I needed to find somewhere to disappear into before the police officers caught me again.
Why did I have to punch that guy? I'm so stupid when I'm angry. He really deserved it though, he had tried to steal my purse from right off my shoulder. But all anyone, including the police officers, saw was me punching hi...
Magic comes with a price.
Are you willing to pay?
If you want my advice,
You should just stay away!
You’ll have to learn Latin
And dress in long cloaks
All made out of satin
When you work to evoke
You must carry a stick
And wave it around
Your friends think you sick
Or somewhat unsound
You’ll chant over candles
And cough in the smoke
And wear wicker sandals
As you try not to choke
And trust m...
“Are you ready?”
Liz grinned in the darkness. “I’ve been ready since you met me.”
Uunz snorted. “You know that isn’t true.”
Though it was too dark to see him, Liz flicked his ear. He yelped, and she laughed. “I’ve waited a long time for this, darling.” A twisted smirk crept up her face at the red she knew was filling his cheeks.
They walked in silence for a moment, not even their footsteps betra...
“Magic comes with a price, are you willing to pay?” Manny still remembered these words, though they felt distant now, having lost some of their weight perhaps. There was a time when the words screamed through his ears with each price paid, with each loved one given—only when necessary, of course. Most magic was free, but not the good stuff; the good stuff was never free. He thought back to when he...
I’m writing this in more of a poem format because I felt like it :)

“Magic comes with a price are you willing to pay”
I’ve never done witchcraft but I’ll pay anyway
Tied to a stake, the sun beats down on my back
Why am I here, there evidence lacked
A small white line on my arm, its barely a scar
“It’s the mark of a witch” “that’s how they are”
The rope rubs m...
“Magic comes with a price,
Are you willing to pay?”
Of course.
_Of course_
I am willing to pay.
I would pay anything for a little bit of magic.
Anything that was mine to pay.
Anything that wouldn’t hurt other people.
I would give anything that was mine to give.
For just a little bit of magic.
Just a little bit of hope,
Of joy,
Of peace.
For a break from fear,
From pain,
From hate.
I just want to ...
“Magic comes with a price, are you willing to pay?” I raised my eyebrow. Why did this strange creature speak in riddles? “That depends,” I answered, “What’s the price?”
It all happened rather quickly. What started as a leisurely stroll through the forest led to my encounter with what I could only assume was some sort of supernatural being. We had ran into eachother quite accidentally, wandering ...
