“Damien, that was years ago,” 说 Alexander as his cheeks turned a light pink.
    “I know, and I don’t understand why the memory is resurfacing now,” I 说 shaking my head slightly.
    “Do 你 think it’s because you’re with Grey 更多 often?” Alexander asked. I’d rarely seen Grey while at the asylum. The only people I would talk to was Deborah, Dr. Anozi, Alexander, and a few college professors.
    “I don’t know, maybe, but it’s scaring me,” I said. “I spent all last night at...

As I stare listlessly into the mirror, the fuzzy image that gazes back at me is someone I barely recognize. But I do. They say prison causes profound changes in a man, and the most extraordinary stem from the most incredible circumstances. That man in the mirror has undergone an unimaginable plethora of alterations because he is the absolute worst thing one can be in prison: an innocent man.

I detect the bitterness in his hazel eyes, the constant worry that wrinkles his forehead, the anxiety that sets his jaw like cement and the frustration that has lightened his hair from brown to salty beige....

由 the time, I reached Social Services noon had come. I walked inside the one-story, brick building. I looked around the large, blue-walled room the door had revealed. I didn’t see Lucy.
    A curvy, dark-toned woman come up to me. She had curly black hair, and brown eyes.
    “You must be, Damien,” 说 the woman. I nodded.
    “And 你 are?” I knew she was a social worker, but that’s all.
    “I’m Stacey, Stacey Sterns,” she said.
    “You’re Lucy’s worker, right?”
    “Yes,...

When they got there, the house still looked old, but not a Fall of the House of 亚瑟小子 Gothic, Amytiville Horror old. It looked like it was from the 20's but it looked restored. Lilian looked at Mimi and said,"Yeah, I paid some people last 月 if they could restore the house. I showed them a picture of what the house looked like in color and they fixed it up good as new." Mimi looked at in amazement and said,"It looks untouched and new, yet it still has that old timey atmosphere to it." Lilian smiled and said,"Yeah. Very pretty. But it does however have cable and electricity. I thought since...

Chapter 17




“Who killed them?!” Koda growled.
Iah was trying to keep Koda calm; from his few encounters with this one he knew anger was Koda’s worst enemy.
“I am not sure…” he replied softly.
“How can 你 not know!?” he screamed, charging after Iah. He dug his fingers into Iah’s chest as they turned to claws, slamming him to the ground, his dark red eyes bored into Iah’s sending dark chills through his mind. “You know everything else but 你 don’t know who killed them?”
Iah cringed in pain, trying to speak.
“I do not know but…I have a feeling who may have done…it”...

Today was my first 日 working for the mental institution. I woke around ten, and got a shower. I dressed in my black pants, shoes, and shirt. Over the 衬衫 was my white doctor’s jacket. The color white didn’t’ suite me, but it’s not like I hade a choice in wearing it.
    I walked to work. The asylum was only three blocks away. As I walked I worried over people criticizing me. Or, making fun of me. What if I treated the wrong patient? What if I messed something up? What if I got lost?
    My stomach started to tighten as I thought of the day...

His hair was a medium brown. He was so tiny too. Even now, I could see my features in him... and Ty's. I stood there motionless, looking at the little thing in the suitcase crying and throwing his arms and legs in every direction.. Lucy had 说 once 你 saw that little baby, you'd instantly fall in 爱情 with it. It must not work on all people. I felt nothing for this thing.

I picked it up, re-wrapping the sweater around him. His body was warm; I could nearly feel it through the sweater. I closed the car door and locked it, and went for a walk. The baby continued to cry in my arms, and that...

A little while after the holidays, Alice left for California. It wasn't long before I felt the despair of loneliness. Alice was the only one I've really talked to for months. Once she was gone, for the first time in a long time it felt like I had really run away. Not like I had gone to a 安全 haven, but like I really was in an unfamiliar town.

I went to work , and Alice had only been gone for two days. Work just wasn't fun that day. I found it harder to be nice to rude customers, and the 日 seemed endless.

"Yeah, Alice kind of brings light to this place, huh?" Georgie, the cook asked. I nodded...

It wasn't until about three weeks later that I had a feeling something was wrong. I kept having cramps, and I was late. I kept telling myself that it was nothing, and that it would come soon, and that's what all the cramps were from. Also I had been having a lot 更多 mood swings; 更多 than usual around this time of the month. I kept lashing out at Shiloh 或者 Sicily. Sicily didn't think much of it, but Shiloh would seem a little hurt.

"Seriously, Kodi. Are 你 ok?" He's ask. I ran my hand through my hair.

"Yeah. I'm fine," I grumbled. "Listen, I gotta go." I hopped into my car after school was...

    I stepped outside the asylum doors onto the sidewalk. A blonde-haired, blue-eyed woman stood looking at me. She stood about 5’7”, and was my age. She walked over to me, and took my hands.
    “I’ve already talked to Dr. Laveney. Your 下一个 appointment has been set-up, and 你 have three refills on your meds,” Grey said. She had always been on 最佳, 返回页首 of things, literally. “Come on,” she pulled on my hand, toward the lot.
    I’d gotten used to her yanking me, and jerking me in every direction. Now, I let her, there was...

I start changing into my purple tank 最佳, 返回页首 and blue denim jeans as soon as I get home. Thinking about Dustin and how he ended up in the hospital is...tough. The police 说 he crashed into a telephone pole when he hung up off the phone. I feel like everything is my fault! Hopefully he gets better soon. "Mrow?" My cat named Puma meows. "I'll be back." I start. I grab my magenta 钱包 off the wooden dresser. "I have some work to do."

When I say 'work' I mean it. I shut the door behind me leading outside to the driveway. My mom quickly opens the door and pops her head out like a groundhog about to...

CH1 A Dream
I wake up on a shiny sliver 表 that I can bearly see my reflection in. Two men are beside me smiling down, I get up off the 表 one of the men try to grab my arm but I shake him off."Give off me" I 说 shaking. I started to run but as I turn the corner I drop on my butt and put my hand over my mouth. With my boyfriend right in fornt of me."Get in there 你 stupid mutt" one of the fat guys snared."Jason I'm scared whats happening"? Suddenly I pop my eyes open and almost fall out the bed, but I catch myself."It's just a dream Sandy, just a dream" I told my self in sigh of reilf....

The club
We got to “Club monstruo” Their was the bouncer who really smiled when I showed up he let me in and looked at my 老友记 with discontent, “They are with me, Mitchell!”He smiled again, “any friend of Angela is a friend of mine,”He replied in his gruff voice.
Smoke and strobe lights, half-dressed girls and boys dancing filled the room, “where is Juli,"I yelled, a girl almost half my size(I am 6'5)black hair /w pale 粉, 粉色 streaks in a messy bun came in, the bulimic look did not fit her, she looked like a skank and did not look good as one. “ready to get it good?” I asked."only...

March 21, 1756, 8:47 PM, Appalachian Mountains.

Branches, bushes and trees flew 由 on the amazingly stable video display. The man’s labored breath was exceptionally clear. 你 could almost hear his 心 pounding out of his chest. Occasionally, an upside-down glimpse of his face came into view, he appeared to be quite young, perhaps 30, but had a look in his eyes, the eyes of an old man. A wise old man. The video oddly seemed to be recording from a camera mounted on a chain around the neck. His dirty complexion and half-inch beard growth gave hint that he had dwelled in these woods for days....

I've called people all morning. No Lilith. I'm so freakin' scared about where she's at. I woke up this morning. Lilith wasn't in her bed, anywhere in her apartment, at work, nowhere. Howl was sleeping on the balcony, undisturbed in his sleep. I called Lilith's parents, her sister, and 911. I didn't bother to call Adam, but I did call work and told them about Lilith, and they told me to take the 日 off. No note, her car is still in the driveway, her cellphone is still here. I don't know what happened, but I'm freaked out! I've known Lilith since forth grade, and we've always been close. for...

Chapter 8

The highway was strangely quiet tonight.
On a typical Friday night Officer Ranald would see 20 cars every 5 分钟 but since the early evening there hasn’t been one car except for a few semi-trucks. In his 25 years as an officer, this was a rare occurrence.
His patrol car sat parked in a shallow ditch in the darkness so that any driver going over the speed would never see him until it was too late. One of the many perks of being a highway patrol officer.
But tonight it was boring him to death.

With his window rolled down the outside air was cool and fresh making him feel more...

As they were drawing close to Howl, I got jealous and defensive all of a sudden. "Hey! He's not used to so many people around him, so back off!" One of the girls looked at me and said,"Take a chill pill,k'? We just like him." Debbie flashed her evil green eyes at me and said,"Yeah Lilith. Maybe he would like to see a real woman for once instead of a little pathetic nobody like you." Something inside of me just burst into flames. She's kept going and going, calling me trashy because of how my tank 最佳, 返回页首 was 展示 my naval. I gave her a cold hard stare and said,"You're jealous because I have...

A big thanks to Silverain on her idea for a title!!


Chapter 2-The Pain.



She took a shaky step through the rippling shield, smiling when she was on the other side. The boy smiled too, but still looked wary. Alexis took anothr step, larger this time, but a surge of pain forced her to the ground. She screamed out grabbing her wrist where the pain pulsed the highest. The pain burned through her whole body causing deep shudders to run through her. The boy crouched over her, and closed his eyes.
"Don't worry, it will pass." He 说 standing once 更多 and moving to lean against the 墙 he had before,...

Upon a pricket of silver and iron, cold and brittle, a carved candle is put for display; 或者 so the twisted wick believes.
Warm on the inside, 安全 from the echoes that make the brittle iron shiver moans around its placement, the twisted wick lies in wait for its moment.
It believes that because of its simple 设计 of its outer coating, a green sapphire and a veil of black inner linings within its carvings, shaped like the scribbles of terrible children, it has such a confidence, such a simple charisma that cannot be matched.
The wick, suffocated 由 its very beauty-marks, shivers as the heat...
