It wasn't supposed to be like this. Smoke, blood, rain. The wind like a torrent against my flesh. The screams of pain and sorrow growing fainter with each passing second. Everyone is dying. And here we are, once again the world coming to what I can only describe as a stand still. The slow fall that is us.
Me and him.
Just like he always wanted. He doesn't even look altered by what he's done, he might even say it was all for me. A monster and his princess. I want to laugh at him. I want to cry.
Hair long and tangled, and he'll say its the most beautiful thing he's ever seen. Short and pudgy, well hell, he'll love that too. Say it makes me curvy, gives me that hourglass figure. Tell him I don't love him, and he'll rip an entire room apart, latching the most vile parts of him on me. He wants me to love him.
Black eyes latch on to every breathe I take, his muscles tightened under orange skin. This was it, the slight moment of calm before he unleashed the storm. I've been with him long enough to recognize the signs.
Raising his hand he beckoned me closer. He was giving me a choice.
But in the end, we both know what I will always choose, regardless of what he does.
You can't tame what is free. And he can't stop me.
But in the end I couldn't close my mouth, he couldn't stop himself and the fire consumed us all.
This story may seem confusing at first but it will get better I promise. This was a style of writing that I really wanted to try out and make my own.

The aliens kill every human they catch, or in rare cases, put trackers on them to discover their hidden villages. When Natalie is caught in an ambush, she is unexpectedly released. But there is no tracker. The Saursunes have an entirely different motive this time.
***
Run. Don't look back.
When Natalie is trapped in an alien ambush, she is unexpectedly released. The first human to ever be let go.
The Saursunes invaded centuries ago, and everyone knows that getting caught is certain death. Natalie is confused but grateful to be alive. As a porter, one of the few humans with the rare ability to teleport between special crystal formations, she must leave the safety of her desert village every day to help gather food.
When other villages increase their raids on the Saursunes' farms, the aliens retaliate by hunting down every human they can find - except Natalie's group. Instead of trying to kill her and those helping her, they bring them food instead.
Is it a trap? Or something else? Natalie isn't sure, but one thing is certain: the Saursunes aren't done with her yet.
