“You don’t know if he loves you still” Raven tried reasoning with himself


“Don’t do it it won’t help” he told himself as he opened pictures of him and Crow they looked so happy


The first picture was on thei...

Living Is A Strange Thing (INITIUM/CH1)

**INITIUM**



Life—a concept many argue about. An idea, a reality that pushes our minds to the limits. So many things come from it; so many things are taken by it. Life is an unstoppable force that even the most powerful magicker in the world cannot stop or alter. Though many do try.


Life is something I hate, but love with the whole of my heart. Despised, but beloved. The startling difference bet...

I, Holly

This is an excerpt from one of my book ideas. I likely will not finish it, but I love this scene. Enjoy!


——


He chuckles, a low, genuine sound that starts from his belly. “Calm down, Apple Holler. You’re too smart for your own good. We’re at a party, and you’re still thinking about work.”


My cheeks flush. “Right. Sorry.” I don’t want to bother him about my conspiracies if he’s not interested.

Keeping Her Cards Close (Soulmate Story)

She has to remember that Bell doesn’t know.


With Bell knowing a bit more of Wren’s life (but not all), it becomes harder to keep the secrets from her.


It’s all innocent enough. Bell came home from school and immediately began getting paper, markers, pictures, and glue. Señora Flores, Bell’s Spanish teacher, gave her class a family tree assignment. Then you label who each person is to you in Sp...

D&M First Chapter (Davian)

I’ve been told a lot of things in my life. And I’ve always honored what my family taught me. I listened, I tried, I didn’t give up.


It sounds stupid honestly. What boy my age ever listens to his parents? I’m supposed to sneak out my window to meet a girl I don’t even like. I’m supposed to yell at my parents, tell them I don’t love them, I don’t need them. I’m supposed to slam my bedroom door and...

Rough Trade

It reeked of powder and perfume. The lights kept flickering as if they would break any moment. The walls were grimy, and nextway a few vanities were situated. The dressing room was desolate for all but two. A woman with a mature face and blonde hair sat across from a young redhead that was brushing her hair. They sat on a vanity facing each other. All that could be heard was their voices, and the ...

Shackles Of The Past

Molly’s laughter filled the room and Caleb couldn’t help but smile. He grinned as he locked eyes with Molly. Her blue eyes sparkled when she laughed, like the surface of a calm lake at sunset.


“There is no way you actually tried that,” Molly replied with a giggle as she brushed her curly brown hair behind her ear.


“Trust me, he has done worse,” Carly sighed as she shook her head.


“Carly’s rig...

I’m Calling 2

Blood seeps down the girl’s face, one hand clutches her bulging stomach, sharp pains vibrate through her spine and to the baby within her womb. Her eyes roll as someone reaches in, grabbing her beneath the armpits.


That’s when the small car explodes in a mess of heated metal and busted glass after a small spark hit the exposed gasoline.


They fall backwards under the blast, the girl groans, reac...

Distant From A Friend

“Hey!! How’s it going, Kyle?!” Said his friend walking torwards him.


“Good! You?” Said Kyle. He organized his locker in the way that he liked. He wore a black unzipped hoody as well as black jogging pants. His brown hair was put down in front of his face, over his forehead. His dark brown eyes glimmered in the uneven light of the school hallways.


“I’m great!” Said Timothy, giving him a big smi...
