As we ran through the forest, we could hear the heavy footsteps of the creatures that chased us. Wolves. A pack of them. We ran like nothing before trying to escape but they were catching up, and fast too.
I ran up the hill with my three friends and tried not to look back. We crested the hill and ran down. I saw a grand view so beautiful it made my eyes tear up. It was a huge crimson castle with...
“Run.” Rift’s voice was calm way too calm for the face she was making a mix of concern, fear, and anger. I on the other hand was frozen like a deer in head lights when Rift realized I was not running as she had told me to she grabbed arm, and dragged me in to a full on sprint as she cursed under her breath. It was dark and I couldn’t see the things that were chasing us but I could hear them. My he...
My darkness is darker than a demons’.
My fear is greater than a ghost’s.
My pain is stronger than a spear.
But my hunger is more powerful than most.
My demons hide and tremble
When I walk in their room.
My pain can twist and choke,
But other people’s where it blooms.
I wasn’t always like this.
No, once when I was small
I was a simple Innocent,
The most peaceful of them all.
But monsters came an...
We had planned our honeymoon for so long that when it finally happened, it felt bittersweet. The packing, the waiting at the airport, the boarding of the plane. We were excited, but also ready to relax and ready for the planning to stop. We needed a break from the stress of it all, and, looking back, I wonder if that’s why it happened the way it did. If we manifested it for ourselves in some way. ...
Adeline walked carefully over the wooden planks. They were remains from the buildings that once stood here, but now covered the dusty ground. The planks were like dominoes, one wrong move and they would come crashing down on top of eachother, alerting everything to her presence. Dusk was approaching, casting an orange light upon the dust in the air. She clutched Lilith’s hand. Adeline couldn’t los...

I walked around the small palace. My golden dress swayed as I walked.
“Princess you must go back to your room.” A guard said. I scoffed quietly.
“Good sir.” I began softly “I know you’re just doing your job but.” I paused. I tried to look extra worried. “I fear I don’t know the castle very well. What if someone from the Shadow Tribe ambushed me.” I looked away for effect “I wou...
Broken glass crunched under my feet as fear shivered own my spine. Even with Geri and Freki, my Right and Left Claws, on lookout outside the warehouse, I felt exposed. The boss had worked over Pearl for hours until she gave up her brother’s hiding place. With a few guys, I was tasked with grabbing our missing man Percy. The streets had to know kingpin Lupine would not tolerate snitches. Tala, the ...
Soon, the darkness shrouded us,
Hiding us from the hungry gazes
Of our predators.
Soon, us, and only us.
Thus, we have to choose, to decide
Us, we need to come up with-
But the predators seemed so scary,
And the aura felt so wary
I could determine
But I’m not decisive-
Unresolved.
Unresponsive.
Is it better to see this positive
Or were the predators actually a haven.
Are we really hidden away,
S...
Darkness swallows you up. It can be either daunting or empowering, depending on how it’s used. In our case, the darkness was an advantage, as we’re able to melt into the shadows using our abilities. The men who were chasing us stared with malice in their eyes as we sprinted towards the forest, skies darkening. If we made it into the cover of the trees, they knew they’d have to wait to continue the...
