They stood, arm in arm as the elements wreaked war around them. Waves savagely crashed at their feet, the wind raged into swirling tornados, the earth shook and cracked below and burning flames reached out with their fiery palms.
The four teenagers seemed oblivious to the chaos.
Shadows advanced towards the group, seeping through what seemed more like a barrier than an elemental war. Their protection deemed useless against the thick blanketing fog which now rushed faster, hungrier, towards them.
One by one - the shadows enveloped each human, and as they fell, their element went with them.
Only one remained, her pitch black hair whipped around her face in a frenzy as high speed winds thrashed across the field where her fallen friends lay. Lightning flashed, targeting the forthcoming shadow which hardly faltered.
Like the others, she fell lifeless to the ground. The final crackle of electricity flashed and struck her body.

Emblems
((Originally, Phoenix)) “Leave me alone!” Her form flickered in the dim light. The brothers shared a look. “All right,” one started. “Just let us say something first. We know you have powers; we can sense them on you. We can do this because we have powers too. We call it magic. If you want, we can show you.” “Prove it then.” ~^~^~^~^~ There was a monster inside of her – a dark thing that always tried to claw its way out, ripping her insides to shreds as it went. She found no relief from it, maybe because she had no happy memories to find solace in, nor anyone to find comfort in. And yet, Amber could be the catalyst to setting a series of events that had been prophesied centuries before, into motion, bringing together three more people – the embodiments of the Emblems – to bring magic back to life. But in this underlying world of Adepts, Demons and secrets within secrets, unlocking their potential will be harder than you think. ~^~^~^~^~^ So, this is my 2014 Nanowrimo story, which is basically an attempt to rewrite Phoenix, where it shall go through major changes in plot, characters as well as effects of my new-and-improved writing style. I hope you enjoy it, and please give constructive criticism! {Also, the cover is temporary, till I find someone who can help me with it :P}Complete
DISCONTINUED
Certainly they could trust that those in power ultimately had the best interests of the people in mind, right? ~~~ Luna slouched low in her seat, staring at droplets of water that ran diagonally down the window of the bus. The sky was a flat, depressing grey and the incessant, soaking rain left her constantly chilled. It was a typical "liquid sunshine" day in the Pacific Northwest. They drove past a single tall scraggly tree on top of a hill shrouded in mist. The creepy tree was full of screaming crows. How could she hear them from inside the bus when she couldn't even seem to hear the voices of the kids around her? Geez, that was an awfully freaking dark image. She shivered and looked away. What did they call a group of crows again? Right, a murder of crows. Perfect. The weather was certainly the only thing that was typical these days, although you'd never know it by looking around the bus at most of the kids as they sat joking and gossiping with each other just like they had before... before that day everything had changed. Idiots.Complete
Sacred Luna
Clip of future Chapter: "Oh, give me a moment. You're still a man, and I haven't shared a bed with one since my twin and I were five." I wined, making him sit up and wrap his arm around my waist. I swear my heart skipped a beat from his aggressive actions towards me. "Take comfort in the knowledge that you've been my sister's best friend since you were five. You think I would do anything to you?" He then pulled me closer to him and had me lay down in his arms. "You do know Dessa praying you're my mate. So I can become a real sister." Grayson chuckled with his eyes shut. "She wanted that since she knew about my crush on you." I studied his facial expression as I saw him relax. I couldn't help but smile at how peaceful Grayson's now grown-up looked. "Go to sleep instead of watching me sleep." He whispered, leaving me flustered before I turned around in his arms, so I could rest my eyes this time around and get comfortable. -x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x- In Supernatural Realm, there are Kingdoms in almost all countries to keep Law & Order amongst their kind.

Love or Fate
A world drenched in starlight. A time before names, before packs, before destiny carved itself into my bones. Magic hummed then. Wild. Alive. Wolves howled under silver moons. Witches lit fires with whispers. The world breathed deeply and slept peacefully. Until the silence broke. The Darkness came like breath over a candle-soft, silent... and deadly. It didn't roar. It didn't rage. It devoured. Not flesh. Souls. I wasn't there. Not really. But something inside me remembers the screams. The cold. They say all the old enemies came together to fight. Witches. Vampires. Wolves. Even the fae. They say they won. They didn't. The Darkness is still here. Not out in the open. Not yet. But sometimes, when I close my eyes, I feel it moving beneath the earth... Like it's waiting. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Layla reached out to touch it, heart fluttering. "You kept these..." "I couldn't not," Xavier said from behind her. "You're my mate. My everything. When I missed you, I found solace looking at your pictures." She turned toward him, and he stepped closer, his arms sliding slowly around her waist, pulling her into his chest. He buried his nose in her hair and breathed in. "I dreamed of this. You. In this room. In my arms." His voice was low, reverent. She shivered. "Are you nervous?" he murmured into her ear. "Yes," she whispered. He smiled against her skin. "Good. So am I."
