Persphyni : I am Destruction
"Then let me die a hero's death." If I could grow up differently, with my mom and dad- I wouldn't. I wouldn't because I don't want to doom someone else to my fate. To my destruction. I had to fight my monsters every damn day and night. I had to live in the darkness. Being afraid wasn't an option-- ever. It would scar and soon join my others to mark my body of another story. But instead of his back leaving my sight as I stood on the wall of our old camp. It was me leaving on horseback as he woke in the chancellor's room his eyes just seeing the back of Erebus and I as the gates closed behind me, my body never turning around once as I raced through the night. My arms were outstretched and my eyes were closed as I let the moment of us being airborne sketch itself in my mind. The feeling of free falling, of weightlessness, of flight. Of freedom. It's a constant war, one battle after another. And the only thing you can do is fight and hope you win. We wouldn't be able to save everyone. Because this time, we had no control. The 100 Fanfic, I own no rights to the show nor characters except the ones I create. enjoy. Also rating this as mature because there are some choice words that help build the character as she is kind of a badass. Shoot. Lol perfect example. And she is a cursing machine because she didn't learn her manners. Season 4 : Persphyni Series : I am DestructionComplete

Safe and Sound: The Short Memoir
Safe and Sound: The Short Memoir written by Elliot Parker. I've always written stories and music about my personal life. It was the only thing that would heal my scars and wounds. However, there was always a hidden layer of truth that I tried to shield from everyone in order to protect myself. Everything I write tends to be about my thoughts, feelings and emotions but in a way that I could keep them private. This essentially led me to bottle it all up and throw it far into the water. And then I was pulled underwater where I was going to have to face every part of my brain and heart in order to swim through the storm I became trapped in. This story was written about my life in ways I've never explored with writing. It was excruciating to look at my deepest insecurities, the feelings for a boy who never loved me back, and the most traumatic events I've had to experience, in the eyes. Writing a memoir that was originally for an assignment, turned into something more for me. It allowed me to revisit the past and try to explain them in my words, instead of rumors being spread faster than a forest fire. Sometimes you don't know you're hurting until you're being forced to sit in a locked room with your past. Realizing just how much pain and suffering I am still going through was tough, but it opened my eyes and allowed me to release the words I've been holding hostage for months. These four chapters were written about moments in my life that I've never shared with anyone before. I'm ready to tell my story.

A dance with love and death.
A story that contains love, trust, and betrayal. "To love is to suffer. To avoid suffering one must not love. But then one suffers from not loving. Therefore, to love is to suffer; not to love is to suffer; to suffer is to suffer. To be happy is to love. To be happy, then, is to suffer, but suffering makes one unhappy. Therefore, to be happy one must love or love to suffer or suffer from too much happiness." ― Woody Allen Multiple POVs.
