She only looked back when she heard footsteps coming along the corridor. The man she saw pass by froze her to her seat in horror. The red and black of the sheriff's cloak flashed away. He was spying on them! Roberta sat for several seconds replaying it in her mind. What if he heard what she'd said about her 'guests'? Allan was a sitting duck now! Stupid stupid! Prince John would become suspicious of her now and he'd never let her out of his sight. She had to do something to throw him off the scent. Something to make him think she was still just an ornery child and not that she was aiding the bandits under his very nose.

"And in the end, we were all just humans, drunk on the idea that love, only love, could heal our brokenness " Here is a collection of poems and excerpts you might like. :)

All beautiful things, I decided, are what I captured. A blurry sunset, a flash of green forestry, yellow eyes, umber black hair. All the beautiful things I had the chance of seeing. All things I wish I could see again, but that's the reason why I caught them here like fireflies in a jar." ☄ "He had these amber-brown eyes and dark coal black hair that Snow White would kill for, not to mention the muscles you could see through his shirt. There was also something about the way he smelled... I can't quite explain it, but it was something that made me want to make out with him right on the spot. It probably wasn't a good thing." ☄ #603 in werewolf - May 13th, 2017 #593 in werewolf - May 15th, 2017

[Reached #21 in Poetry] When I get kinda sad, I usually reflect on my life and I start to rhyme. So this is a bunch of random poems I wrote....

The notorious Fox and his (dashing) band of thieves and scoundrels, known for their wit, speed, and ability to disappear without a trace, have worked hard in the last few years to carve out a name and a refuge for themselves in the war-torn chaos of the Midlands. But with thinning resources and ruthless Captain of the Guard Uldien's personal vendetta, not only against Fox but seemingly all of the Midlands, the last thing Fox needs is a distraction. Gaelian, the opposite of a thief and a scoundrel (and just about everything else in the Midlands for that matter), is a distraction. A determined distraction. One who holds both the key to Fox's past and the burden of a dark secret that affects herself, Fox, and the fate of the entire Two Kingdoms. But will she be able to convince Fox to care? *ehem* (Meaning about the secret...of course. *winkwink*) Danger, adventure, clever banter, heroics, true love, a curse, and a happily ever after.

I had been content to pretend sleep as Da carried me, but when we got back to the cottage, I was eager to show Mam the shiny pebble a boy had given me after one of the dances. I ran back and forth from the door to the window as I waited. Da laughed at me. "I suppose you could have just carried me home." "There she is!" I squealed suddenly, making him jump. "Wait, Love, she'll listen to you by the fire," he said, but I was already out the door. "Mam!" "Selene run!" Mam screamed as a great dark shadow leapt from the cover of a shadow and lunged for me. Black eyes were all I saw; black as the bottom of a well without whites or irises. An instant later my life was shattered like glass and I was never able to put it back together, but I didn't know that something was keeping the pieces apart on purpose.

Many think that shouldn't bother her, but Nicky feels differently. She finds her main source of joy in the music she loves so much, and in her best friend. Still, being without light isn't what you could call easy, even if you've never known anything different. Without God, this seems an insurmountable trial. Then Nicky goes to a school specializing in music; a vocal school. Between her best friend, her teacher, her roommate, and the "neighbor across the hall", Nicky slowly moves toward God, and finds the light greater than any other; she finds that the Light of the heart shines far brighter than that of the sun she has so long wished she could see.
