I saw them laughing and thought everything went according to plan. Then she came back.

Felix's mother was worried as hell.

Not ONLY was her son almost run over by an 8 ton truck, he disappeared after the accident. She worried he might be under the huge pile-up of cars, but after several hours of car moving, his body was nowhere to be found, nor was Alice's.

Of course, Alice's father wasn't much support. Hell, he wasn't even here, where the accident was. Lazy, inconsiderate, horrible excuse of a father was probably still at home with a beer in his hand and his butt glued to the couch. Her mother was probably out gambling again, wasting all of Alice's hard earned money from her...

Garren woke up to the faint smell of food and yelling coming from downstairs. The sound of a door slamming rang through the house, and Garren slowly sat up, just in case his joints and wounds still ached. As he got to his feet, he checked how his body was doing. Surprised, nothing hurt, not even his cut.

Climbing downstairs, he found Kayleen sitting at a table near what looked like a kitchen, fuming mad. Once she noticed Garren, however, she put on a small smile.

"Afternoon, sleepy-head," she greeted. "You know, you snore REALLY loudly. Thought I'd never sleep."

"Sorry." Garren replied. "Nothing...

Chapter 6
        Opposing and spoiled opinions
    The website made chills run down my back for the whole day and everything, it was…in other words, extremely creepy. The website was in the form of some kind of creepy old wallpaper, and you can immediately tell it was created by the crazies. You could just see the scent of craziness all over it, and I didn’t feel that excited to read on, but I did.
    More victims, more confusions, the one person in this town to befuddle our police men, either that or their losing...

Chapter One

The hard, steady foot beats of the men behind me became louder and louder. They were gaining speed before my eyes. I couldn't seem to shake these guys. They must had Censored me before arrival. There is no way they could have known about my hideout. The cameras around that area were old and broken until yesterday. I saw them myself hook the latest model of cameras near the alley. I had stayed hidden but I realized that my days of...

"no" Kyle said. "I'm so sorry."
"What for? you were always there for us, what else could you have done?" James said.
"I could've been more of a brother, instead of your leader." Kyle said and looked at his brother.
"But then what would I have gotten angry at you for then?" James said they smiled at each other.
"Take care of them.Kyle said, " Kyle croaked, "Please?" James nodded "I will." James wanted to say dont go or something, but he knew it was time. "I'll be watching you, hot-head." he said.
James looked down and didn't speak.
"I wish it were different to." Kyle told him. James hugged Kyle tightly, "Say hi to mum for me"
"I will, bye" Kyle cried on James' shoulder and he cried on Kyle's. "To let you know, I do need you."
"Your a funny kind of brother, aren't you!?" Kyle whispered. "Goodbye." said James.
"Look under my bed, remember Sheila" his eyelids growing heavy. "James. You couldn't have stopped this"
"What do I do without you?" James asked.
"Live on"
After the war was finally finished, three years, seven months and twenty weeks, people waited at the hospital. Hoping, praying for their loved ones to be found. Kyle Goodman's Foster Dad; Angus, his two sisters; Tiffany and Mariah, brother James and girlfriend, Summer Thorn waited. Their friend, Katherine Dreamwhisper. They called her Katie for short, had finished her shift, working as the nurse and went to join them. "They'll find him" she said. Nobody spoke, they just sat there. Three hours past and it was getting cold, the night air was coming and the warmth from the sun disappeared. Katie...

    Oh lunch, how they were ruining it for me.

August 18

      Bright and early Saturday morning. No one other then Chloe is away at this time. What else would she be doing? She had things to contemplate. It was barely close to the end of August and already something huge has happened. What could she do about it? Should she confront him or leave an awkward memory between them. Afterwards he did apologize but still. It was startling.
      Friday evening he knocked on her door. It was the second time Eric had visited since she first moved. He seemed frustrated and confused. When she opened the door, he lunged at her. Not in attack mode...

        Close to perfect: A few months later
    Adam wrinkled his nose as Ryler grabbed for my hand once we seated. “Can you guys stop with the lovey dovey, it’s gross to see my best friend and roommate romancing my sister.”
    I stuck my tongue out at him. “Like your not romancing Sage up in front of me.”

After reading the scrolls I was dying to get to Jackson's chambers. I needed answers. I needed more than just foolish papers of riddles, riddles I didn't understand! Bursting through his doors I found noone. No guards, no watch dogs, no Jackson. I let out a cry of angry and stormied off to the only place I know he would be just to hide from me. "The UnderGrounds."


I quickly found the entrance and snuck in. The only problem was how in world would I find Jackson's celler? With so much rage and the questions that still lingered in my mind it was hard for me to consintrate. I first had to get...

The music blared loudly, and I could still hear it with my hands covering my ears. The other high school students skipped and ran through the dark woods at midnight on their way to a deserted log cabin in the middle of nowhere. I rolled my eyes (like all high schoolers do,) at the others, drunk and incoherent.
I could barely see two feet in front of me, when I banged into a firm wooden door. I stumbled backwards as I cursed under my breath and rubbed my forehead. I then succeeded in opening the door and getting in the cabin. It was warm and cozy, with no party energy whatsoever...yet. I regretted...

This song that I wrote is dedicated to the Hunger Games.
------------------------------------------------------------------

I can't believe it
We were just in battle fighting for our lives
It was a wicked world, crazy and psycho
But I guess we came out alive and that's all that matters

It was a cold night
We were keeping our eyes open
For a sign of any fallen warrior
Our eyelids were dropping, but we stayed awake through it all

It was a crazy world out there
Wanting teenagers to fight each other to their death
It was a cruel world, and I liked it no more than you did
But we managed to survive the peril...

A time comes along when you question
- Your actions
OR
- Choices

A time comes along when you lose

- Faith
OR
- An loved one

A time comes along when you feel

- Betrayed
OR
- loved

A time comes along when you have to face

-The Truth
OR
- The lies you made

A time comes along when you make

- A difference
OR
- stand up for what's right

A time comes when you must

-Act
Or
-Be herd

A time comes along when you realize

- how much you have

HATRED

I am one of the Seven Deadly Sins,
And you know what I am capable of.
For I am a human instinct,
And yet a daemon from the Pit,
And you must beware of me,
For I can kill you in the end.

I am the reason
You hold a grudge against your friend,
For I am the reason you cannot forgive him,
And I am also the reason why you murdered
The man who wronged you in plain sight.

I am the reason
That Jacob and Esau fought so
Badly and yet held a grudge.
I am also the reason why Cain and Abel
Did not get along,
And why Cain murdered Abel,
His own brother.

I am the reason why the Israelites
Made the Golden Calf
While Moses...

Fantasy

Walter Duncan sat down on his giant blue beanbag, his newest book 'The Black Wizard' tightly clutched in his hand. As soon as he sat he opened the book and started to read, that is until one small hand appeared through the page and tightened around his neck," MUM HELP MEEEEEE!" he managed to shout out before he was pulled into the page.

He suddenly dropped through the other end of the page into a large, velvet lined room with 1 door and a small man in the center. With a very dull and bored voice he said," welcome to the entrance between worlds." Strangely after he said this his head spun...
