A beautiful dancer sees nothing but the steps she takes on stage. The carefully planned out routines she executes every time.
She feels even less. With buried pain and hidden anger she steps under the spotlight to give the illusion of what she herself has come to believe.... Everything is perfect. But left alone and away from a stage her repressed taughts haunt her.
Like a China doll glued back together she can shatter any moment thinking those around want to break her. 

And would you be scared if you looked into her eyes and wondered what it is that you saw? What was lurking in the background of the grey shadows, shaded and guarded behind lashes ...hidden even from her?
Would you be scared if I said its what is left of her?

...Walk with her as she learns to believe in herself as those around her do. See if she will push away the type of love meant to save her.
See her as she makes the steps that heal her broken heart once she lets love in her door.All Rights Reserved

She....I....... I was running through the thick branches, pushing the leaves out of my way with all my might. I had to get away. The wet, brown, ground made it easier for me to slip and let her red, chilling hands slip around my innocent, scarred body, not knowing where she would take me next. I was almost out of breath, but I had to keep running if I wanted to make it out of this forest alive. My red dress was getting torn to shreds, and my hands and feet had mud all over them. My long, bushy brown hair was getting hooked on every possible branch, making me push my hair in the back of my dress, just like I used to when I was forced to cook everyday for my loathsome 'parents'. Returning back to the real world, I had to stop otherwise I would black out. I took a few seconds to catch my breath silently, and to look around to see if she was there behind me. I was looking up at the tall, old tree when I heard a twig snap behind me. Just like in the horror films. I turned and ran in the same direction, not daring to look back and see her wretched face fixed on my body. I sprinted and sprinted, but slowed down when I saw I was heading to nowhere but a ragged cliff. The unknown would me known if I continued to run and jump. I stopped two metres away from the cliff and looked down to see a valley so far down. If I jump..... I die. If I let her take me..... the unfair horribleness awaits me. I had no choice. I jumped.

KILLING CARA (EN) by livamaar

When Cara found a wounder man in front of her door on a snowy night, her life, already fragile and beyond repair, shattered further. Amidst the depths of darkness, where engines roared defiantly and cars screamed into the night with fury, he stood there... Number 7 and his bitter eyes. In the darkness, a world cloaked in shadows, chaos, and perhaps a touch of light; this was the blind spot of the world, this was Layna. 🕷️ "Somethimes people choose to suffer, Cara." He said. "Why?" I asked. "Sometimes, people cling to their pain, unwilling to heal, as the pain inside is the last memory of a loved one." 𝓗𝓮 𝔀𝓪𝓼 𝓻𝓲𝓰𝓱𝓽. 𝓒𝓸𝓵𝓭 𝔀𝓪𝓽𝓮𝓻 𝓯𝓮𝓮𝓵𝓼 𝔀𝓪𝓻𝓶 𝔀𝓱𝓮𝓷 𝔂𝓸𝓾𝓻 𝓱𝓪𝓷𝓭𝓼 𝓪𝓻𝓮 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝓮𝔃𝓲𝓷𝓰. 🕷️ I listened to the crows circling the empty streets of the city, resting my knees against my chin. It was as if the city were caught in the early hours of morning; a storm had cleared the streets and a mist, swallowing the asphalt, had settled in. Yet, evening was approaching, I knew. As I buried my head between my arms, I sought warmth. I was cold. No, I was burning. The tangled mass of emotions within me grew as it rolled downhill, and I could not discern what I felt. When I drew my arms tighter around my knees and pulled them closer to my torso, the puddle beneath my feet began to shift. I whispered into my lap, "Fool." "What did you expect?" You have no family. Did you think love could save you?

Becoming "Forever Yours" by RemMonroe

Two girls. One heart. A tale of an unusual love. A story some of us need to hear. ~ "I like you. I don't care how uncomfortable that makes anybody. And I damn sure ain't letting anyone dictate if I can or can't talk to you." She brought my hands closer up, I could feel her cool breath against my knuckles. "Or if I can or can't be around you." "Why.. do you care so much?" I couldn't be angry anymore, not at her. Not with how she was looking at me right now. "Give me one good reason why I shouldn't." She pulled me into her, the smell of her leather jacket now more heady and thrilling as ever. She's going to kiss me.. She's.. she's really going to do it.. My eyes started to flutter close, head tilting in a fashion that allowed me to see what was coming just before I closed them completely. Awe shit. I backed away. "Turn around.." My chest tightened. "..And there's your reason."

The Painting by colleyflowers

"It took me five seconds to fall. The impact on my chest jarring my body but not my mind. I suppose this is the point where your life is supposed to flash before your eyes as time itself freezes - and it did in a way. But I didn't relive my life physically like walking through an old memory, déjà vu in each step. It was a feeling, something that started in my chest and spread to my fingertips, one so unique to me that it encapsulated each significant event into one single second." For as long as May can remember one mystery has haunted her world. A dirty window before her, the grim obstructing her vision, she has lived with a loss she can't identify - that is until one rainy night. Gradually the spots of dirt May scratched at for so long wipe away with the touch of a finger. But when she looks in will she like what she sees - or will curiosity kill the cat?

Don't Fall in Love With Me by MoonlitGrace

"Who are you exactly?!" I growled angrily. She tried to free herself from my grasp, but I pinned her to the wall. She glared at me angrily as she kept pushing me. "I don't fucking need to tell you anything!" She spat. "I am not leaving until you tell me!" I whispered angrily as I leaned in closer. I felt her stiffening up, and as I felt she will reveal, instead she smirked as she whispered in my ear, "You don't want to do something Aiden, which you might regret later!" I backed up at her words as she walked away, not turning around once. "Who are you...?"

No Such Thing | ✓ by introverttgirll

There's no such thing as fairytales. There's no such thing as fidelity. Anything can happen at any moment. One minute you can be so happy that all you want to do is scream, and the next... you're sitting all alone in your bedroom crying your eyes out because the one person who you thought would be there with you through anything, isn't there anymore. I watched my mom's heart break. So why would I want to follow in the same fate? Why would I want to indirectly stumble right into my hearts demise? I can't. I won't. Love is an illusion - There's just no such thing. - This book is edited -

THE TRUTH BEHIND MY EYES by MidnightCore412

************************************** Going to the university you have dreamed of is always feels like a dream come true. Right? But what happens when it turns out to be your most terrible nightmare? . . . . . "Mamma" I cried for her. I kept shaking her but it's no use. I am only able to look at her lifeless body... ... ... Until they kill me or worse they make my fate same as her... ... But I can't let that happen ... I have to reveal the truth .... The truth which is hidden for many years... ... -------------------------------- Not only her but we also need to reveal the truth. What is the truth? Why someone's dream is becoming her nightmare? We have to find out about everything. -------------------------------- " I want to try something because in reality I don't think I have the guts to do it. Will you let me do it?" She tells me quietly and looks at me from under her lashes. A small pout on her pink lips. She is looking like a vision in the rain. Her damp hair is pulled on top of her head. Large eyes looking at me with so much innocence that it's impossible to look away from them. Her cheeks are flushed. Her pink lips are still holding the Pout. She is a vision. Perfectly made for only my eyes. Mine only. "You can do anything you want as long as it's not something which is going to hurt you." She stepped closer to me. She stood on her tiptoes to reach my height. Our noses are practically touching. "Are you gonna hurt me?" she whispered against my chin. "Never" "Good" Then suddenly her lips are on mine. --------------------------------
