"Can you keep a secret?" The man reached his hand out. "Take this, take a cab to this address ask for Cunningham. 3:30 sharp, don't be late!" He shoved the card in my hands, and I looked down at it. I read the address, and looked back up, "Stay away from..." he was gone.
Say, whats not enough for one, just enough for two but to much for three? A secret. If a stranger stopped you, and asked you, "can you keep a secret?" What would you say? "Yes, what is it?" Or perhaps you would say, "No! Don't tell me!" Or maybe you would kick them in the shins. Well that was your first mistake. I know what your thinking, "my first mistake?" Yes! YOUR first mistake was staying there long enough for them to continue to talk. The best kept secrets are the ones you never share...

Alone & Far From Home
Our Street Corners Keep Secrets This is me asking for a brick to be thrown through my window, a message attached that reads, "Why can't you just wake up?" I am not a star, don't look up to me in hopes of finding something more. That which is out of reach does not promise anyone a goddamn thing. Hope arises in possibility, but possibility is fragmented and selfish, so don't think for a second that I am safe ground to walk on. I will sink beneath the feet of a thousand traveling companions, and make ruin of any city's foundations, because concrete and steel can never tell a soul how it feels. Our street corners keep secrets, and our road signs only suggest, never deciding for us, never knowing if the destination to which they lead, is where we truly belong. Life's greatest tragedy is not that it will some day end, but that most of us just live to follow directions, and many times we end up totally lost. - Alexander William GaskarthComplete
Sleeping in the Fire | Eddie Munson
"What's the first thing you want to do when we get out of here?" Eddie asks, breaking the silence. I think about it, quiet for a moment or two. I want so badly to say 'I want to kiss you. I want to make sure you're safe, that everyone is safe, and kiss you then and there knowing everything will be okay now. To hide you with me, the way that I hide. Where nobody will find you. And if someone tries, I'll protect you from them again and again. Just to be with you, and for you to know you are safe and loved.' Stupidly, I don't say any of that. "I don't know. I think I'd like to act like this all never happened." - Having been turned at such a young age meant growing up without guidance, without comfort, without a warm hand to hold. As much as I always longed for a friend, it was far too terrifying to open myself up to someone who I could never tell the full truth to. That is, until the last few weeks of my senior year. I thought that I would leave school having known no one, until a group of mismatched kids invite me to play a game with them. A problem only presents itself when I can't take my eyes off their Dungeon Master. - 🖤 COVER ART BY @ARTSACBI ON TUMBLR 🖤Complete

Now if you ask me how it all began, I don't exactly remember but I know it started when I moved in with my grandma who I haven't met in all my twenty years of living. I have been in and out of foster homes since I can remember, living with families I knew nothing about. Being the outcast and them constantly asking me what's wrong because I simply did not speak.

Of course, by having this accomplishment, it didn't make it any easier for me between my foster families. To them, I became the girl who was better than them.

The first choice I made was to go live off-campus with my grandmother during my first semester in college. I ask myself how could I be so stupid? But you will see just how stupid I was.

Typhon
Do secret societies really exist? The Order of the Cronus does, and as an organization that has stood the test of time, it made a person question what exactly it took to make something like that happen. Stone Reputed to love a good confrontation, Stone Lexington was no stranger to always ending up the victor, no matter what it was that he wanted. Born into privilege, wealth, power, and status, Stone's future had already been laid out for him since before he could walk. More than capable of being one of the few men that ruled the world, Stone was more than ready for what awaited him next. Rylee With her entire future ahead of her, Rylee Madden was ready to rock the hell out of her senior year at Hales University. Since Rylee's parents were advocates for education, she'd always known that college would be a part of her future, Hales University being one of the best in the nation. Intelligent, driven, and a bit stubborn, Rylee had been raised to face every challenge that came her way. When secret societies really do exist... Stone Lexington had been prepared to do things his way, but when Rylee Madden slams into his life, everything changes, and The Order isn't happy about it. Rylee Madden had not been prepared for Stone Lexington, or the madness that came with him, but no of that matters when she's faced with the biggest decision of her life. Together, Stone and Rylee find themselves the center of some very dangerous attention, but that doesn't stop them from doing everything necessary to win at all costs.
