Trying to fight the tears and the screams, Caroline got up, and walked over the coal-black debrey. It was beaming. One slip over a piece of burnt wood, and Caroline would have her hand so she would never be able to pick anything up again. She looked into the distance, not seeing anyone alive and up, she patted the dust off her gown as she walked away, not knowing where she was going, she just wanted to go to a place anywhere but here.

Going Back
A storm threatened in a dark, oppressive February sky, and a strengthening southerly swirled around, flipping the hem of Stacey's skirt high in the air as she climbed out of the taxi. Fighting hard to keep it down, she waited while Martyn and the driver unloaded their bags from the boot. Her eyes darted to a passing cab - old habits die hard, or expectations? Somewhat nervously, Stacey followed Martyn down the footpath to the house, then glancing back over her shoulder, she swallowed. Nothing seemed to have changed. In the five years she had been away, nothing seemed to have changed. 'Please,' she silently prayed. 'Please let things be different now.'Complete
Dragon Bride
Karlie walked numbly and quietly. She shivered as she was barefoot in the deep snow as the king's son and the high priest marched her to the sacred grove. Tonight she would be sacrificed to appease the dragon. The entire community walked with her, some weeping others laughing and taunting. They carried burning torches to light the misty darkens that surrounded them. Karlie stood tall as she walked refusing to display the terror she felt.

Never Letting Go
The cold air stinging her tear covered cheeks. Huffing and puffing, running through the blurring by woods. The snow gently falling all around her. Every root sticking up, slowing her down. "Liiiijjjjjaaaa" That taunting voice, so low, yet so loud. "STAY AWAY FROM ME!!!" She screamed. She tripped, and rolled. Suddenly, he became closer, closer until he's over her. He grabbed her, his grip firm, and pulled her up. "GET OFF OF ME!!!!"Complete
Reincarnated as Dragon's Sacrificial Bride
Synopsis: Aeris had never known love. As an orphan, she had spent her life yearning for warmth, for a place to call home. When she finally found someone who made her feel wanted, she clung to the illusion, believing that maybe-just maybe-she was no longer alone. But that illusion shattered the day she saw her lover in the arms of another woman. "You're pathetic," he sneered when she confronted him. And with one cruel shove, he sent her crashing against the wall. Pain struck her like a bolt of lightning, and then-darkness. She thought it was the end. Instead, she woke up in the body of a breathtaking maiden with long, silk-like black hair. Her limbs were bound, her vision blurred, and before she could even comprehend what was happening, she heard the chants of a ritual. She was being sacrificed-as a bride to a dragon. The people around her whispered prayers, their eyes filled with fear. They were offering her to him-the mighty, fearsome dragon lord who ruled these lands with fire and fury. She wasn't just anyone now. She was the chosen offering-the bride meant for the Dragon King. A being of pure darkness, a ruler feared across the world. They said he was a monster, a black-scaled dragon with a presence so overwhelming that the very air trembled in his wake. He controlled the elements and wielded power beyond imagination. He was ruthless, merciless, and unseen in his human form. No one had ever escaped his grasp. And now, she belonged to him. As the sky darkened and the great dragon descended from the heavens, his massive wings casting shadows over the trembling villagers, she finally saw him. Glowing red eyes, burning like molten fire, locked onto hers-not with rage, not with hunger, but with something unexpected. Curiosity. Possession. Fate had given her another chance. But was it a blessing or a curse? ---Complete
The Woodsman and The Faery
"Why won't you let me go? I am not yours to keep, and never will be." Those words coming from her pouty lips stung his chest, but it did not waver in his determination.

Your tricks might work with other people, but not me." The tension between them got ten times worse when he felt her shiver underneath his body.

Ophelia
Have you ever walked outside at night? When it's so dark and you can't see a thing at first? I often do that and I'm never afraid.

But not today, it was so dark, all I could see was a suffocating darkness around me. Aria my wolf huffed in annoyance when even she couldn't see a thing or couldn't pick up a scent around us. 'Ophelia, what's happening?' she muttered. 'I don't know' I whispered back aloud. The words had barely left my mouth when I heard something running quickly in our direction. I ran, not knowing what direction I was going. I tripped over something and fell flat on my face. Feeling a presence behind me I screamed and tried to crawl away...Complete
