My heart pounded furiously, drowning out the lively sounds of the bustling shopping center behind me. The intoxicating blend of popcorn and cotton candy mingled with the warm, buttery scent of freshly baked pretzels in the air. I sprinted away, each breath coming faster than the last, my lungs ablaze with the fire of effort. Ahead, the vibrant silhouette of a theme park loomed large, its towering ...

“Hey, are you Richard?” I breathed, glancing over my shoulder.

“That’s me. You must be Rachel?” he replied, his voice low, eyes darting around.

“Yes, but we don’t have time for introductions. They’re almost here!” I said, feeling my hands tremble from the biting cold.

“Right. The Mafia is closing in fast. They’ll find me if they think I still have—” He revealed a shimmering gold watch, its ligh...

My head is whirring. Everything was going into hyperdrive as I packed my bags. I can see it in the distance, looming over me, scaring me to death. I look to my mum and dad, their faces solemn. We had to leave our dog, we let him out before we left. I hope he’s alright. I hope I will be alright.

I packed my bags, 4 in 30 minutes, my anxiety was pressing on me like a dumbbell as I left. The car wi...

What is life but a story in the making

And what are we but actors in a play

What is life if people are starving and dying

What is life if friendships and relationships break?

I bite the hand that feeds me so that maybe it’ll let me starve

For I no longer long for pain and suffering

Perhaps staying strong is right

Perhaps life is fun for you

But a rollercoaster with twists and turns makes me sick

B...

Happy birthday, freak!

Yes, you heard me

Happy birthday, idiot!

So this is how you go about

So proud

So ignorant

How about u say sorry

Oh wait you can’t

You're a horrible friend

Our relationships breaking

In two because of you

And to think, I still wearhs perfume

When you took my boy

I broke you

And how good it felt

Sweet revenge

So happy birthday now

Happy birthday, NOT!

Hope you have a very h...

I feel so alone

Alone like no other

Other people don’t understand

Understand what I am doing

Doing what I do

Do what I feel

Feel what I am

Am what I think

Think about what I have been

Been in places I have

Have heard the sound of silence

Silenced are we

We are silenced

Silenced but screaming

Screaming but alone

Alone like no other

Others are strong

Strong are we

We need to band together

Together ...

"Everything will be fine, sweetheart," Dad said in his usual calm tone.

"17 is not old enough to be trained as an assassin. She needs protection, not training!" Shouted Mum, her voice unwavering.

I groaned in the corner, but it really wasn't such a big deal that Master Chang trained me. It's just Mum overthinking again. It's for my safety, for me.

"It's my life, and I get to make the decisions!...

The rain was relentless that day, as if the sky itself had decided to cry for me, saving me the trouble. I watched it hit the window in small explosions, each drop a reminder of how small moments can collide and shatter into pieces. I used to think those moments didn’t matter—one look, one touch, one fleeting decision—but now I know how wrong I was.

It all started because I liked him.

Honestly, th...

Chapter One

The city was quiet in that way only the dead of night could offer. Hope crouched on the rooftop, her breath steady, eyes locked on the target moving below. One shot, clean and precise—that was all it would take. She never missed. The weight of the silenced pistol in his hand was familiar, almost comforting, like an old friend who knew his darkest secrets. She had ten seconds before th...
