Heartbreak doesn't have to be screaming alone          at midnight in the darkness, in your bedroom. It can be when the fresh smell of tea (earl grey, hot)                             in the morning makes you unsure what to do                                                     with your hands.

Sunlight. Never before had it been so unwelcome. You could feel the bright rays beating against your eyelids, coaxing you, no, more like coercing you to open your eyes. You weren’t ready though; not at all. Firstly, you had hardly slept a wink last night between your racing thoughts, consuming guilt, and anxiety attacks over what had transpired just last night. Second, you would have to leave the room some time, the thought of which was already so overwhelmingly stressful that you wanted to explode. How were you supposed to act? What were you supposed to say? “Hi sorry for betraying your trust, going through your most precious bel

Zephyr gently let go of Hiruma's hand and let it fall.  The group kept running through the corridors and halls, when Zephyr stopped.  A chill ran down her spine and she looked at Kai.  "Hey Idiot.  I sense someone coming. …I think it's Toru." Kai skidded to a stop.  "From which way!?  Dang it, I knew this was too easy!  That freak probably just didn't want to get his hands dirty!" Zephyr shook her head nervously.  She opened her mouth to say something but she froze when she felt a cold blade against her throat. "Here you are again…" Hissed Toru, voice doubling with a feral echo of itself.  She grinned and leaned the blade enou

Did all of it really happen? Is Edmund truly…dead? Beth sat before the fireplace in her bedroom, her feet tucked beneath her and a blanket wrapped around her shoulders. She was still trembling after all that had happened, and though she tried to breath evenly, her heartbeat wouldn’t slow even a little. Garrett had disappeared several hours before with an unconscious Fiona in his arms and a shaken, bleary eyed Mr. Gibbs close at his side. Beth had asked to help, wanting to be close by when Fiona woke, but both men had insisted that she too needed to rest after her ordeal, and so she had been left with no other choice but to wai

        The full moon was still out and smoke could be seen far in the distance where the party had been. The smoke represented hot summer colors that were consuming the air below. The house is quiet even after putting the master to bed. The only thing that could be heard was the sound of small drops of rain falling on the roof and windows.        Standing on the porch, Sebastian waited for Ramona to return to the mansion. The air is heavy with the smell burning flesh. Why should he start to care so much for her? They were two races that shouldn't be together even in the time when the world ends. These feeling that had been building up insi

What have I done? Durias stood frozen in the dimly lit dining hall, the little brunette bundled in his arms. The portal in the stone wall behind him fizzled and popped as it slid closed, the dark alleyway beyond the opening shimmering like the surface of a lake before fading back into the wall. His heart hammered in his chest as the reality of what he had done sank in. He had made a terrible, colossal, god-awful mistake. I should not have taken her. He had acted on impulse, throwing caution to the wind--something he had never done in his thirty-one years. In battle, such brash action would surely have gotten he and his men killed, and h
