Idk What The Title Should Be

They had been hiking with their class on a ‘field trip’ to the local middle-of-nowhere, and Ana had gotten a blister on her heel. Slowly, the brunette had dropped behind her friends.

Kenan had noticed. Of course he had. He always seemed to be there, laughing, joking, flirting. The boy had slowed his pace to match the girl’s, and they walked down the trail in almost complete silence, broken o...

Smashing Windows on the run

“Shit, shit,” Aaron breathes as we dart down an alleyway. “Damnit, Erik, in *public*? Seriously?”


Panting, I slam my back against the brick wall, huffing out a breath and watching it appear in the cold winter air.


Moments later, it fades, and a gush of wind brushes through my hair.


Turning to him, I shrug. “What? I saw an opportunity and didn’t want to pass it up.”


Frustratedly groaning, Aaron...

The Chase

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 ...

Rescue

This job was supposed to be easy dammit. Get in, get the money, get out. So how’d he end up hanging off of the roof top of a 13 story building you might ask? That’s a good fucking question that he didn’t know the answer to. All he knew was he was going to kill his boss, that son of a bitch. He grunted, struggling to pull himself back up over the edge but the duffle bag he had slung across his shou...

Trust Grip

Nova has a crush.


That’s very hard for her to comprehend, but Haze has helped her realize this.


Why can’t her brain just turn it off?!


It’s annoying. Crushes are stupid. Ward invades her thoughts like those annoying tiny flies that don’t get offended by you trying to kill them.


And now he did something so very sweet that she can’t help but fall further in whatever hole she’s already in.


“H...

“Take my hand!”


“No way!”


“I’m not asking you to marry me, I’m trying to save your life!! Now!” He snatches my hand and practically pulls my arm out of its socket.


“James what the hell?!” I toss up my middle finger while my face wrinkles up.


“Look. See that! That’s what I was trying to save you from! You’re welcome!” He points off somewhere and then runs a hand through his sandy brown hair a...

Sun Solstice

“Take my hand!” Damian called out to me as I dangled from the edge of the cliff.


“No way!” There was no way I could trust him. He was a demon. He wanted me to die. He was my enemy.


“I’m not asking you to marry me, Vesper, I’m trying to save your life!”


How did we get here?


It all started three weeks ago. I was a happy princess who had nothing to worry about. My father was ruling Solestia i...

Strangers

There I was standing on the edge of that bridge that my intrusive thoughts had told me to go to so many times before, and I never entertained it. Standing there, my heart beating out of my chest, I hear it louder than anything else. My hands shaking, and sweaty, as I look down at the water thinking about whether my kids are better off without me. I am such a failure that it’s just better this way...

What a tourist attraction.

“Oh- well… Sorry.”


“STOP SITTING THERE AND COME ON!”


They ran out and away from the cave in the side of the volcano. Smoke trailing behind them. Chasing them down the tunnel.


“Oof!” She tripped and fell. She looked behind her only to see the lava. It had finally started to rise up to the cave entrance.


“Oh no.” She said in a rather weird way.


He grabbed her wrist and yanked her up. They bega...
