The girls came back with a huge jug of water."Okay,now it's time to get down to buissness."Rachel said.She moved over to the drawer,and slowly opened it.She took out a long,silver key.

"Okay,look I have way more power than you,and I really don't need you,only as bait of course."Rachel added quickly,so Josie would get it,"Once your silly,dumb,sister knows I have you,there'll be no stopping me.Haley,get me my phone!"Haley obediently retrieved the phone.

Rachel texted Laura:

Lost Memories Part 2 (Still more coming after this)

posted by dragonwriter

Who was that girl? How was my sister there? What was the place I was in? I have so many questions and so little answers. After lying on the ground for a while I start to hear footsteps coming towards me so I sit up to investigate. It was a man in a heavy black coat with a hood on and a wrap around his mouth. With his mouth covered so much I couldn't see who he was. He walks past me without even noticing me so I stood up to follow him.

As I am walking buildings start to appear around us forming the empty space around us into a city. He walks around a corner causing me to lose sight of him....

The Life of a Vampire Chapter 1

Suck the life of a rose.

Note : Don't read this if you hate vampires.
_________________________________

Caitlin, and her friend, Amber, were partying in the night because they're invited by their friends. Amber never wondered why Caitlin wears a hat everyday to go to school, still not knowing she's the undead vampire. Amber was wondering why is everything black that Caitlin wears, more of a goth. "Lin, let's go to the dance-floor," says Amber impatient. "You go first, you boy-flirter," says Caitlin. "Okay," says Amber. "I'll be going outside for a while," said Caitlin as she walks away. Amber walked to the dance-floor....

Here's to the Creatures and the Ones That Dream Them (Chapter 1)

posted by Jamie105

"What's with you?" Mona raises an eyebrow, then raids through my closet for an outfit for me to wear today, "You look like you saw Mr Greeley in a speed-o."

I have to laugh at this for a moment, it was a scary thought. Mr Greeley is our AP Biology teacher, and he pretty much resembled a grizzly bear; hair all over. He was a creature of his own kind.

"It's nothing," I tell her as I slip off my PJ's and pull up a pair of boot-cut blue jeans and the button up red blouse with white trim that sits in Mona's arms.

I can't tell Mona about the dream; at least not yet. Dreams come and go so I'm not even...

Dragon Soul Part 3

posted by dragonwriter

After changing back I saw the remains of that man. It was enough to make me sick. I just fell to my knees looking up at the sky. A girl walks up beside me and kneels down. "Don't look so down." I go to look at her and no one is there. I look back up at the sky waiting to hear that voice again. There wasn't any sound anywhere around. Out of the silence i could hear a faint breath from the night behind me. I move to the right when i hear the shot.

It grazes the side of my head and i fall to the ground. I hear footsteps running towards me as my eyes slowly close.

Lost Wanderer

posted by dragonwriter

Bullets fly through the air at a man behind a car. He rolls from the car to an alley avoiding the gun fire and makes a run for a motorcycle on the other side. Once getting there he pulls a .44 out of a saddle bag on the side and takes off as fast as it can go. No sooner than he hit the throttle the force was on him once again with heavy fire whizzing past his head. With them picking up speed he starts avoiding the incoming traffic hoping they continue to miss. He pulls the .44 from the holster and fires a few shots back. He turns back and holsters the gun and tries to stay ahead. After a few more blocks a cruiser gets beside him and shoots his back tire. The bike loses control and as he tries to turn it flings him off into the side of a parked car. With some broken ribs and a banged up leg and tries to run but hits the ground as an officer tackles him.

The 20 Dollar Coin: A ghost story.

January, 1865.

She made a face of disgust. It shouldn't have smelled, but it did. The " it" in question was a former Solider...Cavalry..or maybe a foot soldier? It was hard to tell WHAT rank he was in the early morning light.

She dragged the body to a safer location: a deeper room in the mansion, to look through its pockets. Just what...... the Late Henry Hampton of the 2nd Regiment Cavalry of Pennsylvania was doing all the way in Atlanta was anybody's guess, but by the looks of things, there had been some sort of fight.

The old Sullivan Plantation was burned down during Sherman's March last year,...

This morning,I woke up with tears flowing in my eyes. I'm in a dark alley...alone. "Tazz!" I yell for help. "Mew!" As in,"Help me!" The dark alley was empty. Just me. my back was bleeding. My heart was pumping fast full of fear. I get up off the ground and wobble a bit. I see a little light flickering in a corner. I walk over to the light and...there is a flash light flicking on its own. I run to where I was at first. I start to cry and I feel a tap on my shoulder. It's Laiz! I scream and scream. Laiz picks me up and throws me in his limo. I try to break the glass on the window. I keep screaming...

Tell me what you guys think!

The sirens wailed in the distance. Whitney knew they would be here soon and she'd have to run. She took a long drag on her cigaratte and then stomped it out. She grabbed her cars keys and yelled down the hall.
"Jake, we gotta go!" She yelled. Jake appeared at the end of the hall. His blue eyes looking at her with a smirk on his perfect lips. His dirty blonde hair spiked up in a sexy way. He wore white supras with dark jeans and a red, black, and grey plaid shirt.
" 'K babe." Jake said. He walked down the hall to her and hugged her close. She wore a grey tank top...

Chapter One

The constant roaring of the thunder and the sparks shooting from the lightening you would have thought we had planned for this. Nothing is planned for in Somnium. No one expects these tragic events to occur. Even if we did plan for it, it still wouldn't change the mood. It would not make me feel any better. It wouldn't change the fact that my brother was now lying in a cold coffin dead.
The weather was the least of my concerns at the moment. This funus, or celebration for the dead, was at my top priority list. Although...

“What’s the true?” said someone. Skipper and Katherine turned to that side. There were standing Kowalski and Rico.
“What are you doing here?” asked Skipper a little angry.
“We saw you weren’t in HQ, so we concerned and decided to find you, sir” said Kowalski. After that words started silence “So… what’s the true?”

Trapped - Chapter One

“I want to go home,” I groaned noisily, smacking my head onto the gray table my friends and I sat at. I was in my first period physics class with my group of friends. It was the second day of the school year and all looked as it had for the past three years.

Chris glanced over at me with dull blue eyes. “Yeah, well I do to, so shut up,” she replied with a grumpy sigh. No one was in a particularly good mood this time of morning, well Jeydon was, but that probably had something to do with the fact that she was used to getting up at the crack of dawn.

Violet Symphony

Echoes from the outside
The shades of evening soul
Step by step dance toward the open windows
Bring out the sounds when the wind blows
Upon my face and around my skin
A melody touches to any hearts,
Hush, again and again till it echoes inside
Erase the elegy of pain and sorrow
Bring the wings to follow the flying sparrow

Come inside and spread the feels
Flaunt me to the air in vibrating melody
Me, diving in tunes of melancholy
Voicing a happy song internally
Stay in spirit for life, love lively

And come an estranged voice
Jump over the notes chasing after me
Fluently you flute the words, pour a new melody...
