“You don’t know anything about me!”

Those were my last words that I spoke to my father. I regret them more than anything. Today is my eighteenth birthday, my capturing day. The Capturing is something that happens to every child when they come of age. The gist is that when you turn eighteen your taken and if your loved ones can’t find you before sunset then…well you disappear, never to be s...

“Winter!” I call running behind her along the icy sidewalk “Winter wait!” I finally catch up to her grabbing her shoulder gently, making her whip around giving me a look even the bravest of people would back down at

“Why should I?” She snaps but I keep my mouth shut knowing everything I say is going to be a wrong answer “After all you’ve said! Every time you left me for someone else! Tell me Cole...

I trample through the woods away from the castle. How could mother set me up with that awful man? He was so rude and had no respect far me as a person. I run through the under brush of the forbidden wood, no one ever dared to step foot in not even a guard. I was never told why but I had heard the roumors of beasts that lurked within the wood, but those were only roumors. Fag begins to cover the fo...

“Good morning K666!” The robotic voice greets me excitedly at the entrance to my work pod, scanning me for any negativity. DING! The machine chimes letting me enter. No one knows what happens if something is detected on you, but they say we never will because this is Earth, home of the green and the positive, where nothing bad every happens.

“Good morning K666” others repeat as I walk past them,...

I stumble through a forest the misty air thick and cool around me. Twelve weeks since I escaped Mrs. Atlas’ home for girls, where I had lived in for every second of my sixteen years of life, tortured with endless chores and other girls so rude it’s no wonder we all have so many mental issues. The so called ‘home’ is behind me but now I am alone in the woods living off of squirrels and berries. Luc...

I creep out to the fence, the one thing that separates Soldia and Monnoite. The single object that separates me from Jay, or at least that’s what our parents think. The forest that surrounds the forest is thick and dense with old trees some looming a hundred feet above, the good thing about that is it’s hard to find someone in, the bad thing about the forest is the fact that it’s hard to find some...

“Guy’s this is serious, please just listen” I ask trying to keep my calm. What has this come to, my job to keep this kid safe has landed me working with a scarily well loved stuffed bunny, and a dragon, horse, dog hybrid who has scared Elizabeth since she was two, but now she can’t do that because Elizabeth has been missing for a three days now. How do I manage to work with this mess.

“Where’d El...

“We’re off” My parents wave as they start to exit the house

“Don’t burn the place down!” My dad jokes laughing at himself but then his face turns stern “and no boys.”

I nod and they shut the wooden door behind them gently. I stand by the door and watch the silver truck drive away. Gone for three days, just me and my brother Adam the house. I wander into the living room to find my him on the couch...

“All I wanted was a lazy Sunday, but now I have to kill you.” I throw my hands in the air. How did it come down to this. Me standing in front of the boy I’ve loved my whole life in one of the castles damp stone prison cells, sword in hand, Weston Cooper casually standing in front of me arms crossed.

“You couldn’t hurt me if you tried Hay Hay, even if you could, you wouldn’t” he boops my nose and ...
