“We have to give it back..” With shaky hands, I stood in front of Kameka. She growled lowly in her throat. "Give them back their Godforsaken powers? Alejandro!" In a swift motion, she grasped my shoulders, shaking me violently. "We're in power for once in our lives! Think about all of the bad things they've done to us." Kameka took a hand off, swirling a white bedded light from off her hands.

A Learning Experience

“We have to give it back.” Leon exclaimed. Toby turned around and glared at him.

“_No_!” He said. “We can’t! You know what they’ll do to us if they find out we stole it!”

“I don’t care! I don’t want to be known as the thief! I’m giving it back with or without you!” Just as Leon was about to leave, Toby snatched away the safe and hugged it against his chest.

“You’re not doing anything!”

“I _must_!”...

The Sword Of Revenge

“We have to get it back” I cry out in pain, looking at the missing sword, stolen from our grasps.

I clutch at the dirt where it once laid, before enemy guardsmen stole it from my bleeding hands.

The blood drops into the soil, as I pound at the empty ground.

I looked at my wise bestie as she now beckoned me up the stairs of ...

The object

“We’ll have to give it back.” It was never ours to keep, but merely hold on to until the rightful owner came back. We though it would be any easy task, but if proved to be anything but.


When the owner gave us the object, and told us we would be paid beyond our dreams for keeping it safe, we though “why not?” He was charming, powerful, we didn’t want to say no. Plus, for two broke artists, any...

The Uphill Trek

We have to give it back. I KNOW we have to give it back. But when I'm holding it as the only thing I have, whether it has meaning or not, I can't. We look at each other and study each other's eyes. I stare deep into her light blue, contemplating eyes as I push my eyebrows up from where they sat. I need to look sure. I need my own eyes to say "I know what we're doing. This is right." But truthfully...

The problem

“We have to give it back!” I yell at him for like the tenth time.

“No we don’t, I keep telling you I won it fair and square!” He yells back.

The gauntlet lays there, looking, no staring at us.

I glance at it and I get a bad feeling, “Alex, what did you do to get this?” I immediately ask.

Not Ours

“We have to give it back,” says Reese.

“But I don’t want to,” Betty whines.

“It’s the right thing to do, babe.” He kisses her on the forehead, indicating the argument is over.


Betty doesn’t understand. She’s worked hard- extra hours, multiple jobs- to be able to afford this. It also took a whole lot of luck. Why doesn’t Reese understand? She thought he wanted this too. Is their whole relations...

The Box

“We have to give it back.” Lucy told her brother. “We do not know what this thing is, and we might get into trouble if we don’t return it.”

Her younger brother, Luke, didn’t pay attention to what his sister said. He was so focused on that thing that they accidentally stole from their neighbor earlier that day.
