The Prophecy by lspearson
27 parts Complete
Ariella's biggest desire in life has always been such a simple one. She wants to be 'normal.' Unfortunately, that one simple wish has never been within her grasp. Coming from a long line of witches is bad enough, but she's even more different than the rest of her family. The fact that no one will give her any answers to why she's so different doesn't help matters. Her entire existence is shrouded in secrets that everyone around her refuses to reveal. After a family tragedy, she moves to a new town, and she gets her first chance to at least pretend to be 'normal.' For the first time, she's allowed to leave the house and go to an actual school. She makes friends, and she develops her first crush, that's quickly followed by her second. She's finally living the normal teenage life she'd dreamed of, but it doesn't last. Everything she believed about herself and the world around her is changed in an instant. Family secrets come to light one after another, turning her entire world upside down in the process. She quickly realizes that sometimes ignorance really is bliss, and maybe she didn't really want to know the answers to the questions she'd always asked, especially when one of these truths causes people close to her to turn their backs on her without hesitation. Before she can even recover from the shock, she's thrust into a war that she hadn't even known existed. Loyalties will be tested. She'll have to choose sides between all of the people she's come to care about. Will she stand with her family, her new friends, or the two boys who both hold a piece of her heart? One thing is for sure. She'll have to let go of her dream of 'normal.'

A story of a girl who had been working without any break since she turned 18. She was not a workaholic, but she was intended to work, to not pressurize her parents. "Hey! Can we become more than friends?" he said catching me up from behind as I walk through the hallway, back to my locker. "Oh! Boyfriend! Sorry, I wasn't knowing that." He said as he saw me looking down at the ring I had on my finger, fidgeting it and giving him a small smile. "Hey! No! I'm not committed or something!" I said reluctantly correcting him, as he mistook me with the ring. "Oh! So, is it a YES?" he asks with sparkles in his eyes. "Sorry! But I don't want to get into these stuffs... at least right now!" I said, knowing it'll hurt him. "But don't you worry! We'll be good friends!" I told him to cheer him up. He passed me a weak smile and went to his locker, as I went to mine. Sammie, a 23-year-old girl, currently doing her graduation at Ohio University with Computer Science major and Music as minor. She was well-known girl in her college for her great performance in academics and in co-curricular activities as well. She always used to be in teachers' sight. She had half-back length hair, average height, and a not-so-skinny physique with a friendly, helpful and kind nature always had a ring on her finger. Having a friendly nature with everyone, she still had no 'best-friend' to share her daily life, though she was close to one friend Ally. She was from Los Angles, having a tall, skinny figure, she had shoulder length golden hair, and was so pretty. She would call her mother keep a check on her family living far away in India and would pay a visit to them once in a year or so. What will happen when the secrets of the ring be spilled? What happened in her past? Why did she say no to the commitments?

As I stand under the bright lights I look out at the crowd and contemplate my life and what brought me here. I'm wearing a scrap of red Silk that barely covers my dignity yet I'm sweating like a pig. What a glamorous life I lead, the men hungrily look over my body. I'm too desperate for their money to feel objectified. The notes they grow in the stage decide whether or not I will be able to eat . When I was a little girl I imagined my teenage years to be more like clueless and less like showgirls. My life is like low budget showgirls, confusing, cheap and should never have existed. Can I really change my life or am I destined to be on the pole until I either become to ugly or die. Read my story and we will find out together . Xoxo Emily xoxo
