I walk past the stream, and my eyes glance at the ripples in the water. I notice my dream behind me. I turn, and stare into my dreams eyes. It materializes beside me.
It is a girl today. She has pretty grey colored eyes.
I try to look into her cloudy grey eyes, but they slowly start to turn darker. They become black. I can see her weakening.She turns pale, and her posture droops. Her cheeks hollow out, and she starts to look malnourished.
She flickers.
I hear a dry metallic voice thunder in my head. "Your dream is fading. You have 10 days to save it."
"10."
I taste cold metallic blood in my mouth as I turn away from my disappearing dream.

Hoping to shake this human off once and for all, I twisted my body around rapidly with a plan to put my words into action. When I was on my way to push this man as deep into the floor as possible my body all of the sudden went rigid. When my body froze solid, so did my brain.

All of the feelings that I had been hiding for the last 160 years were now coming crashing down on me. They were literally shooting out from this human's eyes like fire. A fire that burned into my core.Complete

He is surprised, he widened his little eyes, those I would love to stare at all day or may be he is shocked as well. HAHA!!

Little Sweet Dreamer - Wattys Edition
"Oh," he said, as my back hit the wooden wall. Damn it, of course. With nowhere to go, his arms locked me in between him and the wall. He stared down at me as he said, "So you're trying to piss me off?" His lips were surprisingly close to mine. No guy would ever be this close to me in real life, let alone me being able to handle it; I would've been so timid and afraid. But this was the dream world. I could speak and be as brave as I wanted to. "Yeah, I am," I said. "What are you gonna do about it?" He paused as his eyes looked between the two of mine. Then, he smirked and swiftly closed the gap between our lips. ~~ In a small town in New York, Hazel is your average quiet type.

I look up at him, his face nothing but a hazy memory. His head is tilted down towards me and I think about how odd it must be for him too. If we kissed, would we find each other's lips? Would it be as natural as breathing? He's mere inches from me and just the presence of his body is suffocating. I don't even have to see his face to know how well he makes my body react. Goosebumps trickling down my arms, and the hairs on the back of my neck rising like sunflowers facing the sun. It's as if I can really see his face. His features and the looks he gives. It's so familiar, so in-tune with me, that I feel like I've always seen it. I can feel his eyes set on me, my figure under his gaze. I can feel the tension in the air and I'm not even sure if I'm breathing. "That necklace around your neck," he scoffs. "What about it?" I ask, my voice low. "I've seen it every single time I've seen you and it drives me insane. It's the one thing I can see below your face." Something clicks into place for me. The puzzle pieces align, and I feel alive. "Then take it off and put your hand there, I can wear that instead," I grin. __ Scarlett Moore.

My fingers travelled through his hairs as he teased me with his lips playfully. Tracing my collarbone and then making it all the way up to my ears. My fingers wrapped around the back of his neck and I crashed my lips on his, perfectly entwining with the buttery movement. Our lips parted as our tongues met, dancing and twirling as if discovering each inch. The continuation of his nibbling at my lower lip dragged it much deeper into more velvety chemistry and more passionately electrifying. When our lips parted, we were utterly breathless. I just lost myself, sitting on his lap and staring into his eyes. "Shall we have breakfast?" I whispered. "I'm having mine right now," he whispered as his lips brushed against my ear and he gently bit my earlobe. "Ah!" a silent gasp left my lips automatically and I felt his smirk against my skin. 🥉Black and Gold Flames Awards © SANYUKTAComplete
