Lightning is beautiful. It's impressive, spectacular, and a little bit dangerous. That was what we were focussing on. Its beauty, the edge of being near lightning. It makes your heart beat just a little bit harder, you get a certain thrill out of lightning. It was the perfect name for our journey, our adventure. We were as exciting as lightning, and so were our lives now. There was just one problem. The more we admired lightning, the closer we got to it, and the more dangerous it became. We forgot lightning is made from good and bad, warmth and cold. We kept focussing on the good side, the warmth of lightning, and we completely forgot about the bad side. We forgot the danger of lightning. We didn't realise how life-threatening the situation was until she came into our lives. She was just like lightning and I came too close.

    I never asked to be the person I am now. But a girl's got to do what she simply has to do. Ever wondered why people are afraid of thunder? It's loud, frightening and it makes the roof tremble at the sound of its voice. It's the reason why kids curl up with their mums on a stormy night, and the reason puppies hide under the creek. Yet barely does anyone acknowledges the cause of the thunder; the main reason why it actually exists. But who really is the badass here? It is that quick bolt of light that emerges from the clouds and disappears in the edge of a second. It is the thing that you ought to fear. Because it is fast, silent and most definitely deadly. And that is exactly what I am. I am Lightning. *** Not a super hero book.

    When you experience the worst thing you could ever imagine, how do you react? - "The water looked so tempting under me as I stood there in the dark. The splashing sounds as the waves hit the stone calmed me down and I took a deep breath. Yes. This was it. I closed my eyes and took one step closer, feeling the curb under the soles of my shoes when I stopped again. Then my heart started pounding when I heard the sound of an angry engine behind me, a screech and a crash. I turned around, gasping, ready to pick my phone up from the ground to call for help- but what met me was a pair of soul-searching golden eyes. In all his twisted glory, he stood in front of me, his precious motorcycle's engine still going as it laid on the ground behind him. His hand reached out, as if asking me to wait, but neither of us said anything. We just stood there." - Olivia was a happy, cheerful girl whose life turned upside down one evening, over a phone call. Her mind turned dark, her thoughts became intrusive, and she became... morose. One night everything seemed to fall apart and she found herself at the river banks when an old friend found her and refused to let her go. That night kickstarted something in her that made her want to change... for him. Helix was a misunderstood man surrounded by dark rumors. People feared him. Everyone stayed away from him..

  • The Girl with No Emotions
    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.
