My parents always told me to be optimistic no matter what. Even if the worst thing that could ever happen to me, did, they wanted me to stay positive. One of their favorite quotes to share with me when we had our daily talk was,"Find the sunshine hiding behind the dark clouds on a rainy day. Because that sunshine, well, that sunshine will save you." Which is why they named me Sunshine. Yep, my name is Sunshine Faith Lightwood. Everything about my name pretty much screams,"happiness, optimism, faith, and hope."
Though one day, I decided to change my name. I am eighteen after all. And do you wanna know why I would change a beautiful name like Sunshine Faith Lightwood to a depressing name like Storm Ashes Blackthorn? Well, one day the worst thing that could ever happen to me, happened; my parents died because some stupid drunk driver decided to drive right into their car, killing them almost instantly.
And I've been trying as hard as I can but I think my depression has gone too far for me to ever be able to find the sunshine again.

White Top Hats
It started when the rain fell. As it hit the windows rhythmically, I fought my sleep. Fighting off the demons in my dreams. I hadn't realized how real that dream became. Waking up to terrified screaming. My heart racing, the lighting striking and my family begging for their lives. I claimed myself as a coward that very same night. I hated myself. My depression became the best of me. What's worst then your family being slaughtered? Hiding in the closet from the killers. I should've helped, I should've been there for them. The pain between my chest and stomach was growing guilt. So I started thinking smart. Looking at everyone differently. I decided to reopen their cold cases. And when I found the truth it hit me deep.Complete
For The Love of Robin
"I love you, Blue Jay. I love everything about you." "And I love you, Dick Grayson. But-" "But what?!" "How can you say you love everything about me if you've never seen my eyes?"Complete
Alone
Nightwing has been abandoned, first by his mentor, Bruce, then by Wally, his best friend, then by his second family, and now by everyone else. They blame him for what happened to Wally, they blame him for Kaldur almost dying, for Megan getting captured, for the destruction of the cave, and for keeping this all secret from them. Nobody asked him if he wanted to be left in charge, nobody asked him if he was alright during the invasion, nobody seemed to remember that he was only eighteen, nobody seemed to realize that he had to become Batman and protect Gotham along with Bludhaven , and nobody seemed to care about what their words did to him. Everyone knows that stress can hurt you, that you should try to get unstressed when you are stressed. However, some people can't, and so, what happens to them? Warning: language is used, and has some depressing thoughts. Read at your own risk.Complete
Wake Up Call
A broken girl... Twenty years old and I'd finally had enough. I couldn't take anymore, so I packed up my things and disappeared, leaving behind my drunken, abusive father and the mother that stood by and watched as I slowly died. I knew I was going, but not where I'd stop. The last thing I expected once on my own, was to be spending my nights stripping at a club in Florida, barely getting by. I should have known running from a past wouldn't make it stop haunting me, because misery will always find me and tear me down until there's nothing left of me. It always has... Things can always change though, right? Like looking up at a handsome, tattooed stranger, and with one stare he has me questioning everything I've ever believed in. I wasn't expecting or prepared for someone to storm into my life. Not him. Jace Montgomery. The name I'll never forget. The need to save me lies in his eyes, but I don't need a savior. Trust- what he wants to teach me. That I'm something more than what I've grown up believing and that I'm worth loving. Those are the things he wants me to believe. How am I supposed to let him in and show me I'm something when I've spent my entire life being... nothing? He won't give up, and honestly, I'm hoping he never does... Because maybe... just maybe... I am worth saving after all.Complete

Sunflower Lullabies: Bonded by a Field [SAMPLE]
"Tell me about your daughter, Ms. Light." "Her name was Desederia April Light. Of course, she made everyone call her Daya for sake of causality, but she nonetheless was an amazing girl. She had bright amber eyes, gorgeous curly hair, and she aspired to be a firefighter because she loved helping people. She wanted to save lives. Her favorite color was orange because she claimed that it was under appreciated, and she adored Autumn because of the vibrancy. She was obsessed with sunflowers, too. She was just a normal girl, just a normal kid." "So then what happened?" "I..don't know. Things just changed one day. She grew paranoid and quiet, her grades dropped, and she'd beg us to stay home. I'd just tell her to grow up, but I should've listened." "But you really don't have an idea of why?" "I wish that I did. I wish I knew then what I know now, and I wish I took the matter more seriously when she tried to tell me." "So, Ms Light, tell me, do you think we'll find her?" "I don't know. But I know my Daya, and I know how smart she is. She might get to us before we get to her." ~ This is an unedited sample. The full, edited version is available on my Amazon Kindle (link in bio).

The Girl with No Emotions
I was just thinking. I swear. But maybe my mind over thought. It's weird that everything can seem so simple, straight forward. Black and white. Two colors. So obvious. So there. Him and Her. Two people. So obvious. So there. But once you add gray, things get kind of complicated. Then you add color. And it's a wonderfully complicated bright world. She's two in one. The storm and the shade. No one ever stops to thank the storm for shading them from what's above it. What if the sun was too strong, too powerful that day and the storm came along just to protect us all from it? It was this epic battle between the two and the storm was hurting and it cased all this damage to the earth. No one thanks the storm for its sacrifice when it finally loses the battle and the sun shows its smug face. We all hate the storm for the disaster it created and praise the sun, when the storm just wanted to protect us. The storm and the shade. She's the storm and the shade. She's the chaos and the calm. Only I can't see the chaos. Not fully. She's keeping it all inside. All I see is the calm. I can tell though. I can tell there's chaos. I just can't see it. It's not so black and white. It's not a simple boy likes girl. Girl likes boy. It never was. But I like her. I do. The storm and the shade.Complete
~CURE~
"Sometimes finding love is the CURE you need..." My name is Lexianna Kingsley, I've always admired planet Earth from afar. You see I live on the planet Venus, Earth's neighbor. I'm the Princess to be exact. I love my planet with all my heart and I would do anything for my people. As much as I love Venus the one thing i've always wished we had that Earth does is true love. On Venus we have arranged marriages. It starts from the day you were born. Your parents would pick out someone just for you either five days older or five days younger. Since I am a princess my arranged marriage would be to a Prince. I'm turning eighteen soon which means I will need to be wed to take over as Queen. Prince Aaron was picked out for me, though he seems nice that's not the loophole. Having an arranged marriage isn't the worst thing. It's that your parents start to disappear... no one knows why or how this happens it just does. As soon as you are married they start to go starting from legs and up. I can't let that happen not with my three year old brother Daniel in the picture. He can't loose my parents, I can't loose my parents. And that's what brought me to this point, the point where I have packed up all my things and I have started my adventure. My adventure to find the cure. I have a feeling that if I find real true love on the planet Earth it will be the cure to help not only my family but the people of my planet. I can only hope I can find the cure before my eighteenth birthday, before it's too late. ~Created and written by xInspiringWords/Samantha~Complete
