She stood 10 feet from her target, her bow loaded with a wooden arrow aimed for the little red circle at the centre of her homemade target. The wind kept on ruffling her dark brown hair, stray strands of hair blocking her peripheral view. But she couldn't care less. Her entire self was devoted on getting that arrow on to the bulls eye. She considered the bulls eye as all her problems and worries and she liked to keep on eliminating each one of them by shooting an arrow at it.
She let the arrow fly, watching it zip through the air.

THUNK.

The arrow found homage in the vivid red circle. As the arrow hit the target, she saw her mother lying dead in a freezer; her face devoid of any sparkle that it used to be brimmed with...

Witchling by Demy09

"Close your eyes. Now focus on the connection you have with the earth. Feel it flow through you." He takes her hands and raises them, palm side up. "Keep your hands like this, when you get really good you won't need to do this. Now, focus on the element you want to control. Try wind, picture it blowing in your mind through the trees, or the grass." Danya feels energy tingling in her fingers and up her arms throughout her body. She sees the wind blowing in her mind, not through grass or trees, she sees it ruffling Seth's hair, then hers as she stretches and kisses him. She can hear Seth laughing next to her. "Stay focused Danya, but open your eyes." She opens her eyes slowly and sees it, the wind like she pictured it in her mind and she laughs making both of them smile. "Stay on it, don't lose it." "I got this." She closes her eyes again, this time she pictures rain. She sees Seth again, only this time, his hair is dripping and her fingers are wet as they touch his cheek softly. "Danya, follow me..." Her eyes stay closed as she gets up and follows him out of the gazebo and feels the rain on her face. "Open your eyes..." She opens them and sees her vision again, Seth standing in front of her and watching her. His blond hair dripping down his face, and his eyes bright green underneath it. Danya is a special girl with special abilities. abandoned as a newborn on the porch of her adopted parents house. They take her in as their own and raise her as such. until one day she discovers shes not as normal as she had hoped, and a certain boy named Seth helps her learn of her true self. both of them discovering something even more special about each other in the process.

Cinders by Serena_Storm

In a realm where shadows whisper secrets and magic throbs beneath every step, Ash, a skilled huntress, becomes entangled in a destiny darker than she ever imagined. Her path crosses with a prince shrouded in darkness, his smile hiding more than mere secrets-it veils a sinister purpose and a connection to the enigmatic King of Shadows, who rules from the hidden corners of this world. As Ash traverses a treacherous landscape where nothing is as it seems, she must face not only her deepest fears but also desires she never knew existed. One arrow, loosed from her bow, sets in motion a chain of events that plunges her into a deadly game of power, where each move could either crown her as queen or drag her into the abyss. In this world of deception, trust is a double-edged sword. The prince's true intentions remain cloaked in mystery, forcing Ash to decide who to trust as she teeters on the razor's edge between light and shadow. One wrong step, and the darkness will consume her.

13 Crowns by LindseyVerBrugge

Prologue I used to have a nightmare when I was younger. It was always the same order and the same impact. It started with the warmth of sand consuming my feet. I looked up to see a warzone. There were flashes of fire, water, and lightning. It was like a war of the gods. Suddenly I felt the heat on my back. I turned to see neon red and yellow flames consume me. I ran to hide in the bushes that were next to me, feeling out of breath I tried to calm myself down. Strands of dark red hair covered my face. I proceeded to swipe my hair and look at my surroundings. I heard sobbing coming from near me. I trudged through the bushes and toward the sobbing when I got to under a willow tree. "Hey, are you okay?" I asked. I saw a girl with long dark red hair being the cause of the sobbing. She had a huge gash on her forehead with blood trailing down her face. She also had burns on her arms and shirt. The boy was in much worse condition. He was covered in burns, she was covering his face with only his hair showing. They both had the same colored hair. Suddenly my necklace started to glow with an amber color. The girl in front of me had a similar amber glow. Two amber crowns sat on top of the pillow. One female and one male crown sat on top of the pillow. Once I walked closer the glow came back. Once I grabbed the tiara everything became white. I was once again in another room, I attempted to move but I mysteriously couldn't. A neon purple bolt of lightning hit my chest. We both locked eyes with each other. Was that me? Before I could find out, the ground started to be drained into a whole. I was sucked into the drain and everything soon became black and I was free-falling. My back soon hit the ground of the room. I rose to look at the surroundings of the new room I was in. I fell to my knees from the pain. Then a person walked forward and grabbed my face.

Galekin by Hilliex

They fear us because we are different. They fear us because we have special powers, because the goddess gave us gifts. The goddess gave us these powers to protect the non-gifted. They don't care about that. They fear us because they think we will hurt them. They believe we are power hungry, the irony. They have hunted us for centuries now. Killing us because they are afraid. We just want to live out lives in peace. Why must there be a fear for people who are different? Why must there be such hate for people who just want to live their lives? My name is Lydia Martin. I fight for my freedom. This is my story. The story of how I fell in love with my target. The story of how I fell in love with the one man I wasn't supposed to fall in love with.

Child of Earth by emiegirl123

Annabra Series Book 1 "I took a tighter grip on my bow and in a split second decided now was the time. I put one foot out to the side of the tree, shifted my core balance to that foot, and let the other one follow it, I was facing towards my prey, whatever it was and I closed my eyes as I shot the arrow straight into its' heart. My prey wasn't prey. It was Death. The arrow fell to the ground and Death laughed, he laughed at my foolish efforts to defeat him. You couldn't kill death, but Death could kill you." - Chapter 17 When Thalia, a girl who has lived in a forested area of Australia for almost a year of her life, discovers the truth about her old life and the dangers of her new one, she is taken to a place where to insure her future she must put it on the line, not only for her new friends but for the rest of the world.

The Naturalistic by tanisha_shinde

"So you think I have the power of the Earth Element?" I ask her. "We don't think. . . We believe." She smiles and gently caresses my cheek. "But Evy, you are different, You not only possess the power of the Earth but all of them, all the seven. You are a Naturalistic." ******************** In this Empire of Elements, everyone possesses the power of a particular element, but they say I have the power of all seven Elements of Nature, that I am the Daughter of The Seven Gods.

The Unordinary by elephant576

Six high school students looks like anyone else acts like anyone else but are capable of things no one else is. They learnt from a young age no one that means NO ONE can know about their powers even their parents and other siblings. It brings out the true friends and those who just want to use you. In the end, what do you do when your closest friend betrays you? This is the story as they try to keep their biggest darkest secret of what they are capable of and as they discover they're not the only ones like them... I am not very good at trigger warnings before individual chapters but there is mention of blood, cold abuse and parents divorcing. (But read at your own risk in case I mention something else. I am working on rewriting this story and when I do there will be the trigger warnings in the correct places.) (small teaser.) No one sees me. I am a ghost. I brush against the wooden fence. No one will believe it was me who disappeared into a fence and appeared on the other side of school. I stare at my brother. He made eye contact with me, confirming my suspicions. We both saw it. Whoever that was is like us. "Did you just see that?" I ask "You're that person my brother and I saw," He says. Oh no... Why then? "Wait! You're-" Completed just editing. (Don't be too harsh please)
