The school roof top was silent. Kate was glad that there wouldn’t be any witnesses for her potential humiliation. Walking towards the chain link fence, she saw the notorious Grigori Alexeyev. His long ash blonde hair sat in a messy bun on his head. a few stray strands floating around glacial pupils as a cigarette balanced on his full bottom lip.

“I love you.” Kate said defiantly, a blush appearin...

Our fate is sealed and we can do nothing to change it. My hand found Daniel’s as my eyes focused on the tsunami rapidly approaching. I knew I didn’t have much time left, but that didn't stop me from holding him closer. He pulled me in for a kiss before pulling away slowly, tears filling his eyes and he whispered softly to tell me I'd be okay.

With my last bit of strength I gave him a small smile,...

No one at Atilia inc. knew who ‘the Author’ was but everyone knew that once you entered the lift you never came back. Delilah looked around her cubicle, taking notice of the many empty places. Her eyes scanned the room again, trying to determine if anyone else would come in before she decided it was safe enough to go to the elevators.

It was strange, the only times people came up here were when...

“I’m pregnant.” she told him a faint smile on her lips as she held out the pregnancy test towards her boss. Sebastian looked at her in horror before jumping up and closing the door to his office, afraid that someone would overhear them.

“It’s not mine.” he said calmly brushing a stray gray hair back into place. He’d been worried about how to end the affair and now she had presented him with the p...

Morgwyn had travelled on a long and arduous journey to find the curse breaking mage Islegard. Each day she removed her long leather gloves only to see new angry symbols etched onto her skin, angry red lines carved into her skin. She remembered how frightened she was when the first red line appeared on her skin, the disgust on her fathers face when he turned her out of the house in the middle of th...

Emma felt the reassuring weight of Theo in her arms as she held him close to her body. His soft whispy curls tickeled her chin as she leaned down to lightly kiss his head. A heady scent of lavender and chamomile filled her senses as she inhaled. Theo’s tiny hand clutched tightly onto her hospital gown as he slept.

Suddenly the door to the room opened and two nurses walked in, one smiled gently a...

“I need you to listen to me carefully. You don’t know me, but I know you.”

It was an odd thing for someone to say. But he wasn’t going to deny that this stranger knew him. The feeling of being watched had been there for a few weeks. He couldn’t place how long it had been happening. And now, finally, he could put a name on this feeling.

His heart was beating rapidly.

Why would he think this st...

Chaotic energy swirled around the empty box, Niamh felt it buffeting her body like the tempestuous wind outside. She was stuck inside, no way out or to move anywhere, trapped in this tiny, dark space with nothing more than that box. The air in the room smelled faintly sweet, as though something had been recently burned. It wasn't pleasant and she shivered involuntarily. There was just one other t...

“I guess I just don’t love you anymore.”

“W… why? Why did you say that?”

“Because you left me, Lucas! You left me alone with nothing but a broken heart and a pile of debt to fall back on. I can’t do this anymore.”

The two stood there, staring at each other for the longest time before tears began streaming down their faces. ‘This is it,’ thought Eliott as he felt his chest constrict. He was final...

“He sacrificed his life to save mine… after all I did…” the words echoed around in her head as she tried to hold back a sob. A tear slid down her cheek and dropped onto her pillow. “I wish he was here, now he could tell me it wasn't my fault…” she cried silently. She sniffed, wiping away more tears with the back of her hand, the cold sweat still on her forehead from the nightmare. It was the only ...
