As soon as the tip of my finger touched the mirror, cracks appeared, spreading out to the entire surface until it shattered and rained upon me. The stings of sharp glass were not a worry to me, 'She is left behind', I said, 'forever'.

The Contract
Something didn't feel right. I looked around my room slowly; cautiously; taking everything in and trying not to feel too nervous. Perhaps Lure was in my room right now, watching me, silently laughing to himself. I didn't doubt it. I slipped off my bed and walked around, hugging my waist, and tilted my head. I felt my rough ponytail slide against the back of my neck and over my shoulder as I moved. "Lure?" I hissed, "Lure, are you there?" I wandered around a little, for some reason feeling scared. But why? It was only Lure. He wouldn't hurt me, would he? "Okay, Lure. Quit it. I know it's you. Who else would it-" I stopped, startled, when I heard a strange sound that made me cringe. It was like fingernails being dragged across a chalkboard. I whipped around and came face-to-face with my mirror. Immediately, I saw the difference. Various scratches were displayed across the glass, forming words. It looked as if claws had written the words in the mirror. "Deepest apologies, but it was fun." (All credit goes to my sister, who wrote this when she was in the twelfth grade)Complete
Prelude to a farewell
Who among us, at least once in their life, it has not been abandoned by that person, which meant everything? Who was the personification of beauty, perfection, love? Who has never been abandoned, you will never understand the words written with difficulty in this book. I keep his picture, his eyes laughing happy me, impressed in a moment of eternal immobility, surprised, almost as a joke, by the click that I myself, in a beautiful moment of love, I did. One day, when my life was fulfilled, with those same eyes, he said "Goodbye".Complete
The Raven - Born Out The Earth
'"I cannot feel this way. You clearly don't feel-" "I do though." He interrupts me. I finally look up to meet his eyes. It holds so much sadness. "Believe it or not but it hurts me every time I see tears in your eyes." His hands reach for my face, one more time and gently wipes the tears off my face. No matter what, the tears keep flowing down. "Please don't cry." He whispers. "You have someone out there just for you. Waiting for you." I whisper softly. A sad smile forms on my face that is now saltier than the ocean bed itself. I try to tug his hand off my face, but his hold is firm. He leans his head down and places it against mine. "I know." His whisper equally soft. "You need to let go. Just as I am." I close my eyes and take in the breeze of ocean that surrounds him and now me. I hear a deep growl just as his hold tighten on my face but it's still gentle.' For the little Raven that was born out the woods, life was only about the survival of fittest. Hunt or be hunted.

A Single Glance
I saw her from across the bar. My bar. My city. Everything in that world belonged to me. She stood out from the crowd like she was looking for someone to blame for her pain. That night, I felt the depths of my mistakes. I felt my scars. With a single glance, I knew her touch would take it all away. I craved it more than anything. I knew she would be a tempting, beautiful mistake. One I would make again and again... even if it cost me everything.Complete
Fade Into Black - Shadows of the Night 5
Colors danced behind my eyes, until the world fell into a haze of dark mist. Black fissures of power within arm's reach. Mine. Magic slammed into me, endless and vast like a tidal wave coming in and crushing over my head. I took it, absorbed it, glutted myself on it because it felt good. No consequences. No pain.Complete

Sophomore Red
It was very...foggy for some reason. The fog is so thick I could barely make out the shape of my hand a few feet in front of my face. I can't even tell if I am wearing any clothes or not. I assume so though all I can feel and sense is fog. The fog moved and swirled all around me as if alive, pushing me prodding me to take a step forward. The idea of attempting to take even one step into this mess is scary.Complete
