I walked in the dark

I saw a curl a silloutte a shadow

A tail a hunched body

A smile a grin showing teeth bright yellow eyes

I froze with fear

It was my familiar cat

We fell out

She bitched she was spiteful cat

She said you could not train me or enslave me

I warn you chillingly...

It had been three days since they entered the forest. The hallucinations were getting worse. And water was not to be found anywhere. Poor little Susan had been struggling to keep up. As the hours went by she went slower and slower. Escavars muscles burned and his lungs cried out for air. The forest was oppressive, it bore down on them with a fierce weight. After a while Escavar slowed to a stop an...

the cold night time wind rushed against my dark hair.

I walked faster, faster to be home.

I was a college student walking home from school.

I looked around, my lip shaking cause of the intense cold.

Soft whimpers from the dark alley in-front of me catches my attention.

I close my eyes, my mother's words floating through my mind.

"Never go in dark alleys alone, Molly."

I turned around and walked aw...

The day after Leila finally managed to defeat Alistor and free her kingdom from decades of tyranny, she went for a walk in a nearby forest. The celebrations have been going on and she needed some quiet and distance from all the people thanking her. Not that she wasn‘t happy, it just was a lot. 

Her arm still hurt where Alistor managed to slice through her armor, probably overpowering all the other...

It all comes crashing down on me, the reality of what I'd been oblivious too since I was a child. It makes sense now, the way Noelle had always known my deepest secrets. Blinded by my unconditional trust in Maggie, whom I'd always shared the depths of myself with. In our family, adopting a mink for a companion wasn't common. Rabbits and toads, yes, but in our region you would never stumble across ...

Life was not easy for Danna

Her parents gave her in adoption because they were too poor to raise her, leaving her at the mercy of the orphanage evil people. Multiple families tried to adopt her, they took her to their house but all of them ended up returning her.

Danna always wondered what was wrong with her, and why did the people despised her so much.

One day, she found a little kitten about t...

“My paws are tired, Lilly. Let’s rest.”

Lilly sighed, turning to glare at Ansh. “We’re almost at the cabin. She’s waiting for us there.”

“Just a little rest, here in this copse. Please.” The cat looked up at Lilly with tired eyes and a somber flick of his tail.

“Fine,” she said, walking back to the trees. She sat on a stump, thinking about their long journey. From the Palace of Herst, to the r...

One day while walking through the forest, I found a fox who looked hurt and scared. I decided to take the fox home with me, treating its wounds and giving it snacks. It was wary of me at first, always bearing its fangs and huddling in a corner, but it soon warmed up to me, letting me pet it and play with it.

We went everywhere together, rarely leaving each other's side. However, sometimes there w...

The grandmother clock on the hearth ticked. Esmeralda scratched behind her ear. Raven stared out of the window at the cars passing by. Cocking his head to one side, the counselor studied the couple’s body language. One looked ready to pounce and the other seemed barely awake but was definitely alert. Tall and slim, one had a swoosh of jet black hair and annoyed dark eyes. The other was a fluffy. L...

Del’s eyes shot open and her mouth opened in a gasp. Her hands twitched and gripped the ground, tiny pebbles and dirt digging into her skin. She was in a cave, sat by a small fire, which was burning a bouquet of lillies. There was a sharp pain in her side. Her eyes shot down to the arrow sticking out of her abdomen. There was a soft sound next to her, and she looked over to see a black lamb, stari...
