Fear was gripping Lily's heart as she continued to walk the dark path through the forest. Her cheap flashlight was failing her and the bitter cold had long ago begun to pierce through her rather thin winter coat. She was mentally kicking herself for not charging her phone that day, they always saw one bar should last you a while, what a crock! She felt stupi...
One evening not far from Patterson University it was a clear cool night. There was a few inches of snow on the ground. It was quiet and peaceful as the land near the school was mostly forest. The silence was broken as something bright began to fall from the sky smashing in to the ground with a loud bang that was heard for miles however nobody payed much att...
The girl in my sleeping bag moved. I woke immediately. Her head rolled off my shoulder and she took a deep breath and exhaled loudly. This was an extremely good sign. I held my breath, hoping that she would open her eyes. Her body had warmed a bit and when I took a mitten off her hand, I saw that her fingers were slowly regaining color. But I wanted her core...
The hunter's moon shone brightly as Veronica walked home alone from the dance. It was cooler than she had anticipated and so wore nothing warmer than a silk blouse and short skirt on. She rubbed her arms frequently trying to fight off the chill. Her 'glorious' boyfriend had decided to dump her tonight of all nights. She had stormed out without a ride and wit...
"Everything shits until it dies." ― Charles Bukowski Cuadrillas was high as fuck, as he dove into the Colorado River that brisk July evening. He didn't relish the idea of battling Great Whites, but what other recourse did he have? ATF was closin' faster than a desperate real estate agent. He'd caught wind of their presence around Lake Mead, and had narrow...
Adam and Kev slouched around Carly's flat, coming down from another Saturday rave. Carly shouting out Halloween costume ideas at them which they torpedoed continually, "Well, I don't see you two giving out any ideas," she yelled. "Who gives a shit, I'll go as a vampire same as last year. It's only birds who worry about that shit like that," Kev elbowed Ada...
Mary-Sue: Cullen Attack On Haven, The Citizens Evacuated, Herald's Rescue The Herald looked over Corypheus's shoulder and way up high, deep in the mountains, a flare rose up in the night. The signal she'd waited for. Here I am, so close to the firing mechanism too. Maybe there's something to this "Herald of Andraste" bullshit after all. Corypheus towered...
Lissa's Story It was the howl that woke our wolves. A howl of incredible grief, pain and anger. Every one of us had their wolf surge forward, the change quickly overtaking the pack members as we ran for the doors of our home. I led the pack alongside Jack, the senior Beta, since our Alphas were out making the next generation in the woods somewhere. The how...
Summary: One event, three points of view. Story takes place prior to the Battle of Siria. *** Chapter 1... Shine on Me... If he was going to die, this was a stupid way to go.

It was late, about 1am on the Iowa side of the Mississippi river. Pete was meeting some of his friends from work up here at his friends cottage. Just a weekend getaway. Just beer booze and cards. Then maybe a trip into town to the casino and strip club. He was supposed to have gotten here before sundown, be he had to stay late at work. He had told them he wo...
