I nervously take a bite of steak.
Glancing around, i want to cry. All I ever wanted to do was chart the woods that were in the corner of Australia! But then I got lost and fell down a waterfall, discovering… THIS place.
I nervously turn my attention to my food. A neat steak garnished with spices, roasted potatoes, and a salad on the side. It tasteas okay.
The Magi at the head of the table is m...
I look around, feeling like a mouse being stalked by a cat. One more move and I’ll be dead. If they realize I’m human… let’s just say the role of guest and snack will reverse.
How did I wind up at a dinner party with vampires? My stupid bestie who I love invited me to this party at the house of Vesonte, then dropped out because she was sick at the last minute! And then, she told me to f...
It’s been a week . . .
A week since I crashed my car. A week since I last sat with the girl. The girl who lost her Mom . . . Because of me.

“Dave!” my dad knocks on the bathroom door. “You ready?” ...
There was a heart of darkness, accentuated by the highlights of bright, deep snow drifts and the flickers of sporadic fires. The buran howled indiscriminately around the bodies, destruction and wreckage that had been laid to waste by human beings.

Ruby was so excited to go to the dinner party she was invited to. She could already see it: the fun , the stories , the laughter. Ruby couldn’t wait.
Their car was finally parked.
“Have fun!” Ruby’s mum said.
Ruby finally went in, very excited, and with a smile.
When she was now inside, her smile faded.
She saw something she didn’t expect.
Everyone was paired up. Boys and girls together.

A sixteen-year-old Cove shifts uncomfortably in the stiff chair.
Her emerald eyes stare at the floral porcelain plates and elegant silver silverware. A nudge from her sister makes her look up.
Her siblings are in line with her on one side of the long table while the royal family from Tarvin are on the other side.
They are seated in order of age. Her father, King Redfal, is at the head of the...
“Sit up straight I raised a girl not a cow,” her mother snipped.
Jades face turned bright red and she turned her face away from the guest at the dinner table while simultaneously trying to sit up as straight as she could. Most days she wouldn’t let her mothers words get to her. Most of the time she had thick enough skin, enough of a wall to shut everybody out. But, today had been bad. School had...
I know you can’t see it
But I wanna cry and curl into a ball
I am not that good at speaking at all
I shake
I stutter.
Though it looks like I’m happy

I want to scream
I want you to know how scared I am....

Me and Marco sat in the police station waiting for a relative to pick us up. I watched Marco out of the corner of my eye. He was fidgeting with a black bracelet. I was worried about my parents, after all I haven’t seen them since the accident what if… NO I can’t think that way. They’re fine. I thought to myself.
