Elara wonders if this is what it is like to burn.
Elara had always thought she had been the chosen one. The one who would make it out, who would put her town's name on the map. All eyes are on her, and she is slowly crumbing under the pressure.

Authors Note: This is my first story I've written on here and I decided to post this after I wrote it a little while ago! This was a fun story to write for me, but if you have any constructive criticism just private message me.

Maya «I never wanted to be feared. I wanted to be seen. Not as a monster, but as a girl who loves the smell of rain and the warmth of sunlit grass. A girl who talks to animals as if they understand her and whispers secrets to the wind when no one's listening. But the world doesn't care what I want. It sees the glow in my eyes and the claws beneath my skin and decides what I am. A beast. A danger. And now, with my family hanging by a thread and strangers knocking at our door, maybe it's time I stop holding back. Let them see what happens when you corner a wolf.» Remi «The sea doesn't forgive mistakes. I learned that the first time I felt the salt bite my wounds and the ropes burn my hands. Out there, you either adapt, or you drown. I learned to strike before being struck, and to stare into the eyes of men who'd rather see me dead. But even as the waves carried me further from the past, it never truly let go. And now, the storm I thought I'd outrun has caught up with me. Maya needs me. My father needs me. But the sea took parts of me I can't get back. What if the man who returns isn't enough? What if I'm already lost?» Lynn «The city taught me how to survive and how to disappear. A glance, a twitch of the fingers, a slight tilt of the head, that's all it takes to pick a pocket or avoid a blade. I learned to watch, to wait, to strike. I became the shadow people fear in alleyways. And I like it. I like the power, the freedom, the knowledge that no one can touch me unless I let them. But then came Maya's letter. And suddenly, the walls I built to keep the world out feel more like a cage. My little sister needs me, and I hate that it scares me. Not the danger. But home. The girl I used to be. The girl I swore I'd never be again.» Three voices. Three paths. One storm, ready to break. We're not heroes. We're broken pieces, sharpened by pain. And when the storm hits, we'll either cut through it or be swept away.

Okiee.. So, this was actually a Performance Task within my ELA class, we needed to come up with a short story, and I came up with this regarding one of my favorite OC's. Now then, this story is a somewhat self insert (For those who don't know what that is, it's basically where you input yourself in a story your writing) But this is an Alternate universe of me, so she's not really ME me-Y'know what I mean? But yea, I hope you enjoy my one-shot (I might add more parts, who knows, the co-teacher REALLY loved it) So yea, I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed writing this. I hope you have a Good Morning / Afternoon / Night! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Start date : 3 - 1 - 24 Publish date : 3 - 2 - 24 End date : 3 - 2 - 24 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This is set around the time of the Salem Witch trials BTW ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Settings, Characters, and plot ALL BELONG TO ME!!! (Except for Salem, we all know that don't belong to me lollll)
