She didn't know where she was going, she just ran and ran until she was gasping and out of breath. She bent over with her hands on her knees and tried to catch her breath. When she straightened up, she looked around and saw people staring up at the sky, open mouthed. Asteroids, dozens of them, about 10 metres in diameter falling towards the earth. Everyone had been preparing for this, they all knew what to do, but they had never even begun to think that it could become a reality and now they forgot the warnings, the training and began to run in a blind panic, anywhere they could.

Not His Girl
I stroke her hair and whisper "cry and let it all out, don't bottle it up." As these words leave my mouth I can feel her body start shaking, seconds later she is crying. Clutching my shirt and crying like the whole universe is coming to an end, like her world has toppled down. She is in pain, and her pain is damn deep. But before anything else happens, she backs away, leaving my body cold and in need for her. She wipes her tears with the back of her hand and speaks, the letters heavy on her throat "I don't need you, I hate you." Her words stab me a hundred times, I wish I had died before hearing these words come out of her mouth. It is like getting run over by a truck but worse. Like getting hit with a lightning but worse. She walks away from me, and goes looking for Doruk. I watch as she finds him and leads him to the car. I don't just stop here, I move. I go toward my car and follow them. There is no going back. She'll be mine. (Sequel to In My Blood)Complete

New World
(Chapters are in English) Her scale like skin glimmered in the sun like vibrant, red diamonds as she stepped down onto earth. Her eyes were a beautiful golden glaze that only seemed to shine brighter when hit with the sun's glow. Her body was toned with muscles, as if she were born with them. Her hair was a deep black, neatly decorated into long, patterned braids that stopped just at her lower back. And scars adorned her front and back torso. 💫 Things were not meant to be like this. She had just reached her coming of age, she was supposed to be celebrating with her ງ๏ภคร, and yet here she was on her family's ship sailing off into space away from what used to be her home planet. What used to be a beautiful, scarlet planet filled with wonderful clouds, beautiful forests, gorgeous mountains, and vast-less oceans, it was now filled with black smoke as bits and pieces of the planet itself drifted off into space. *Any and all pictures and/or videos used in this story do NOT belong to me
