It’s another ordinary Tuesday, and Amelia is midway through her very ordinary Tuesday routine. Autumn leaves litter her three mile run, stretched in the park across from her townhouse, showered and dressed, fed her cats, and has just settled in to the window seat of her favorite cafe with a cheese danish, a cappuccino and her laptop to check her email before working on her latest course. Everythin...

I recognized his eyes as soon as he walked through the door. I froze. I couldn’t do this right now.

“Shannon, take off the mask.”

“Why? This is _awesome!_ I look exactly like you! It’s unbelievable!”

I made a low, deep growl and clutched my hair with both hands, tugging fiercely. The pain distracted me from the irritation I felt over being dismissed. I straightened and stared at her without say...

I recognized his eyes as soon as he walked through the door, I froze, my mind started racing and my heart started pounding out my chest. I can’t do this right now, not after what he did to me all those years ago. I barely remember it, but I do remember his face. His smooth face with a small mustache and peach fuzz on his chin. His face was etched with deep lines from years of hard living, and yet ...

of course he had to be here. him of all people. to see me like this. he walked over to my curled up, shaking figure and sat next to me.

“well? whats going on? the whole party is out there and you’re in here, crying like some child.”

i looked up at him, fear on my face. not from him, but what was happening. was i seriously letting myself have a panic attack in front of my enemy? i bowed my head,...

I recognized him as soon as he walked through the door. While he made himself at home on my new couch, I froze. His hands felt around for the missing cat fur, for the stains he used to never care about sitting on. I couldn’t do this right now.

“Where is the box of my things you were supposed to return weeks ago?”

My weekend chores exhausted me. I was a useless, dead battery. A confrontation, or...

When morning came, my father and mother came to find me with my sisters. I instantly hugged them all and cried. I cried so hard, but we just held each other.

My father gave us a report. The vampires were waking up again. The House of Vampire had nothing to do with the attack. We would continue the festivities like nothing happened. He demanded it.

I boarded myself up in my room all day. I didn...

i couldn’t do this. no. no. no . n . o .

his eyes, those green, green eyes, stared straight into mine, his expression mirroring mine.

i know his question before he asks it.

“because. i had no choice!”

his silence is deafening.

i turn away, slamming the door.

“YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND!”

i screamed. i lashed around.

I recognized his eyes as soon as he walked through the door. I froze. I couldn’t do this right now. The crimson stare of Jemor Brenk is one I still see when I lay down to rest every night. I would give anything to be the young girl I was when we first met. Running around town and razing havoc everywhere we stepped, he truly was my best friend. Our friendship eventually started to develop into some...

I reconized his eyes as soon as

He walked through the door.

I couldn’t do this right now or

Anymore.

He’s always on my mind,

Even when I try to look away

From his eyes. Why do I always

Have to look his way?

Why can’t my eyes just stray away?

I don’t know why I can never look

Away maybe because when I look

At him everything just seems to fade

Away. I know I shouldn’t feel this way.

I need to t...
