Each night I dread falling asleep, the darkness is overwhelming, the dream is the same, but I'm never in the same place. I try to recognize my surroundings, but through the darkness I can tell that I've never been here before. Tonight I'm somewhere musty, the smell is putrid. I hear the sound of water dripping in the distance. As I make my way across the floor I stumble and land on my knees. My hands hit last. I'm not sure what they're touching, but it feels damp and is squishy. As I pull myself up I realize that I'm on the surface of a rock, it's not a floor. The dampness surrounds me, then the realization of where I am hits - a cave! But where is this cave? I've never been near one before. Then like always I sense the presence of someone else. Oh if only I could see then maybe, just maybe I could make out the features of the person that keeps taunting me in my dreams. I keep my composure, I've become good at this. I want the unknown person to see how brave I am, and then it happens, the sound, a sound unlike anything of this earth...

The Room with No Corners
There is a moment before the dream begins where everything feels still. A breath held between worlds. In that moment, time doesn't move forward or backward-it waits. That's where I exist now. In the pause. In the static. I don't remember the exact day I started to vanish. Maybe it was slow. Maybe I was too quiet for the world to notice. They say the mind protects us from things we cannot bear. But what happens when the thing you're running from is yourself? Somewhere, there's a house that doesn't belong to any map. Its windows never reflect sunlight, and its walls curve so gently that you don't realize they're watching you. There's a girl in the mirror who looks like me, but she remembers things I don't. There's a bathtub filled with water so still it feels like a grave. There's a man I created-kind, warm, and perfectly not real. And there's a truth waiting at the end of the hallway. I'm afraid of it. But I think I've always known it. This story is not a confession. It's not a warning. It's just what happens when the silence gets too loud. And the corners begin to disappear.Complete
In Shadows of Night
I woke to a sudden breeze invading the warmth from the heavy blanket that caressed my skin. Here, alone with my thoughts, the still, calm quiet in the atmosphere is almost painful. I feel suffocated in the clingy, static air. In quiet, still moments like these, I can almost feel Him. I don't know who "Him" is, but I can feel his presence. It's almost calming, especially on fearful, anxiety fueled nights. Usually, he was the strongest when I had a nightmare. The nightmares weren't as common now, but, right after everything happened, I was having them every night. I'd wake up and swear I was drenched in blood, my eyes and lips sticky, my nose filled with the smell of iron and fuel. After everything, that's when Him first came. From there, he just never left. I can usually sense when Him is near. Today, though, his presence is stronger. I can almost feel Him next to me, weighing down the mattress. Some nights, I roll over and imagine how he looks, envision his smile or the sparkle in his eyes. He's never there and I'm left clutching to the thought that he exists, staring into empty air. Tonight, though, I swear I can reach out and touch him. Extending my hand gently, I sweep my hand out into the darkness and meet an inexplicable warmth. A scream rips from my lungs as hands cover my face and two icy blue eyes stare back at me, daring me to speak again. A soft cloth caressed my nose and mouth before I felt myself fade into bed.

Diary of a Lightworker
At age 12, I looked into a tall antique mirror- it was the first time I had a notion that my brain and my soul are separate things- Consciousness. Who is this person looking at me in the mirror? her eyes are brown, she is smiling.. why is she smiling? why is she sad? at times her eyes are empty- who is she? or who is? Why is it looking at me in the mirror? why don't I feel that we are One? Earth is not Home. This is becoming apparent each day, if it was, it would be a whirlwind of crazy, but the earth is a good training ground, in here are clues that we need to pick up. If you interact with humans you would know that you won't be able to understand them. Like fish taken out of the water- Humans are energy suckers- they will take everything from you if you don't learn how to shield and put boundaries- this is because most are sleeping- their eyes are shut- the real one-Complete
In Pastel *Discontinued*
"POPPET! " "Poppet? Who called anyone Poppet anymore? Who is it calling someone Poppet?" "DON'T RUN! " "Run? Is it talking to me? Run why...why would I run? Wait... do I know this voice? Is it familiar?" "WE CAN FIX THIS!" "Why would you need me? Is this Arthur? No, he would never admit something so obvious so openly and freely... but who could possibly need me? Bryan? Selene? Quil? No... It felt too different to be them." "YOU CAN'T JUST LEAVE ME HERE!" "Who are you... where are you? I want to help you. I won't leave... who was leaving you?" "PLEASE... please... Abigail. Please don't go." Have you ever had a dream that makes you feel déjà vu... but you can't exactly place a name to the person or situation? That is because it hasn't happened yet. In fact, it may never happen. You have to do a specific action in a certain way to experience the memory making you feel this way. Have you ever had a dream where you aren't anywhere in it and it is as if you are merely watching a scene play out in a movie? This is an event that may or may not have actually happened or will happen. What that reason it is there, is unpredictable. Have you ever had a dream where it was fuzzily grey and you could hear voices yet see nothing? Someone was communicating with you. Whether it happens in the past, future, or through the very dream itself is varying person to person. Dreams are a fickle business... they are forgotten so easily, yet we remember how they made us feel. For example, you remember a dream about something having to do with compartments. You remember that it was a crazy dream... yet you can't remember anything about it at all. Dreams are forgotten for a reason, whether it be over years and years or immediately. They are that way for a reason. Never, I repeat, Never hold on to a dream. If you hold onto dreams then others, worse dreams, come and hold on to you. All dreams, in the end, cause you paiComplete
Wolfblood
It was dark and I was all alone I couldn't see anything, not even my hands in front of me. I felt all sick like I had a cold. " Where am I ? " I asked. " Your in your my mind ? " a voice replied. It sounded like we were in a cave. " What do you mean I'm in your mind ? " I asked again.

The Shadows (The Paranormal Series #1)
Amelia; The shadows are following me. And along with them, follows blood-red eyes, dark hair, sharp canines, and a scorching touch. I thought I was hallucinating...but not anymore. Ares; I lost my fated one not once or twice, but multiple times. Seeing her again made me long for her smile, her touch, her scent, and crave all the moments we had lost. But I won't lose her...not in this lifetime. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I felt his finger trail up from my arm...slowly...gently...up to my neck, and my head moved of its own accord, allowing him more access. His finger found its way to my face and he cupped my cheek. Surprisingly, his hand was firm, warm, and gentle. His eyes looked at me with so much sincerity and warmth. He leans into my neck, and I stiffen up as I feel his sharp teeth grazing my neck. I expected him to bite me so I tightly shut my eyes. "Your fragrance bewitches my senses with an intoxicating allure." I didn't think he'd speak, and I most definitely did not expect his voice to be so...deep and hoarse. My mind finally registers the words he said, and so I opened my mouth to speak but a scream escapes instead as I feel him dig in his fangs. (Unedited)
The Blood Order
"Are you coming to bed firefly?" He says to me laying his hands over my waist joining me in looking over the city. "I want to look out for a little longer if that is alright?" I mumble hoping that he heard me anyways, I wasn't ready to walk into that bedroom, and I don't think I ever would be. "Of course, I'll be getting ready for bed, come in whenever you are ready." He says confidently and walks away leaving my waist cold something for which I am grateful. Especially when my mind burns with other more dangerous thoughts. The warmth that forever lingers in the air, never burning the skin, but always reminding about what is around us. I force air into my lungs feeling the unexpected warmth fill me. He stands in the room watching me even though he said he was getting ready for bed. He is worried about me, about me jumping. I have contemplated it I will admit, but he would stop me before I fell even two feet. I was stuck, and no one could save me. Not even myself, my fucking weak self. His presence is demanding no matter where we are, but right now I could sense everything about him, and I try to suppress the unwanted feelings that curl right under my skin. "Firefly? About done?" He calls out and I release my hand from the guard rail not realizing that as I looked at the lights that covered the shining city with the falling fire in the background that my subconscious was thinking about how nice it would be... how relieving it would be... to just fall. True freedom. I take a step back and wrap my hands together turning around to a fully clothed unchanged man and nod once. I could see the fear in his eyes that I would, he knows if he gave me the chance... I wasn't ready for this, but I had to survive. No matter what.

LUMINANCE (COMPLETED)
My heart beat so fast, and I could feel the ice-cold wind against my skin, coming from the open window of my old room. The sound from the TV was loud, but it felt like my ears were shutting every noise down on purpose. I could only feel my loud, painfully beating heart. This is the first time I've tried doing something so... unforgivable. But I can't. I can't, I can't, I can't! My head shook with panic, fear, and coldness. I gripped the razor tighter, my fingers wrapped around it. I shut my eyes and spoke to whoever might be listening. Someone, can you hear me? You've seen me. You know what's happening-you know me. You called me by name once. "It will be painful when you start, but it will fade away soon. Trust it, trust me... just do it!" I could feel my pulse rising and the cold sweat forming on my forehead and temple. I moved my head closer to my wrist as tears streamed down my face. Sabi nila, kapag mamamatay ka na, parang nagfa-flash ng mabilis sa 'yo ang naging buhay mo-everything at once, mabilis-just for a few seconds before the tragedy hits you. My eyes were closed, and it felt like my ears had shut to avoid any noise. With sweaty palms and forehead, with an aching heart and a tired soul, I saw your face. With trembling lips, I smiled. Hanggang sa huling pagkakataon, ikaw talaga ang makikita ko? "Maybe in another universe, Scal." I moved my hand closer to my wrist. I waited until I felt the coldness of the small metal in my hand, when a strong wind hit my skin. All of a sudden, there was an unfamiliar caress in my heart. My ears opened, my eyes slowly opened, and his sweet, warm voice was so clear through my blurry vision that it made me forget about the small, dangerous metal in my hand. I focused on his voice, and my breath hitched. "Hi, everyone. We are Velvet Upholstery!"Complete

"Who are you?" I asked him but instead of answering my question he suddenly grabs my hand and pulls me for a run. I don't know where he will bring me but to my surprised, I let him. We run away from something I don't know. I just know that there is something that was pulling me through a deep unknown darkness. But he was there and now we are running away.
