SploshHaela poured in silky brown coffee into a blue mug, the thin liquid swishing around in the cup.SwishI watched as she set the coffee maker down, picked up the mug and walked toward the front door. She tilted the cup against her lips while looking around her house for her belongings.Haela placed the mug on a coffee table and walked towards the coat hooks. She picked a pale yellow one, like the feathers of a baby chick, and slipped it on along with her purse. She picked up her mug again and slid her slim feet into little shiny black flats...

“Haunted Birthdays” by 𝙰𝚖𝚎𝚝𝚑𝚢𝚜𝚝 ~

𝐊𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐚“What are you going to do for your birthday?” Emily asked as we walked into my room.I shrugged and responded, “What do you like to do?”“Keara, it’s your birthday, so it’s your choice.”“I know, but I don’t know what to choose.”“Don’t you like haunted houses?”I nodded.“So why don’t you do that?”“It’s the middle of March.”“Who cares?”“Okay, fine, I’ll do a haunted house for my birthday.”Emily grinned with satisfaction and laid down on my bed.The walls were a soft pink with little stickers placed inexpertly when I was 7. The desk was white ...

The rocking chair rocked back and forth, forth and back, squeaking like a mouse.Creak creakThe dark wood was polished and smooth, little tendrils of chestnut snaked across, covering the whole chair. Creak creakShe ran her hand across the armrest, her light skin illuminated by candlelight in the winter storm. The wind blazed and tore at tree branches, the temperature threatening to lower below sub-zero, so even the penguins in the zoo would be shivering.“Grandma! I’m here!”The door slammed open and clanged against the wall, the candlewax...

“Wanna try again?” “Why not? We have nothing to lose.” Blythe and Katharine stepped out of Blythe's car to get to school on time. It was a chilly October morning, the leaves on the trees were bright flames like the tops on a candle. It was the 49th day of 7th grade as they’ve both been counting. Blythe and Katharine both have gotten bullied many times, together and separate. They made a resolution to try and overcome that, to stand up to the year-long bullies that had ruined their lives. They tried every day, so far they have only failed...

“Griffin's Prophecy - Golden Music Part 5” by 𝙰𝚖𝚎𝚝𝚑𝚢𝚜𝚝 ~

“Ugh, you are the most annoying human I have ever met. Marie-Antoinette was more tolerable than you,” Marie grumbled, brushing dirt off her dress.“How many humans have you even met? 4?” I scoffed, crossing my arms over my chest.“Very funny, I’ve met a number of humans from my time as a harp player.”“Oh sure.”“So, how are we exactly supposed to help these ghosts?” Marie asked, gesturing in front of her.“Well, if it’s contagious, there should be a cure,” I responded, looking over our selection of patients.There was an old man with glasses, and...

*** “No fair, Alina got the last cookie!” “Ben, sometimes in life you can't have everything,” Alina said and chowed down on a chocolate chip cookie. Gooey, decadent chocolate streamed out of the cookie, like silk ribbons. The cookie looked soft and buttery, crumbs spilling out underneath. Alina gobbled it right up. Alina patted me on the back, and said, “You can always make more cookies, y’know. It’s not like that was the last cookie in the world.” “What if it was?” I asked.  “I would’ve still eaten it,” she said and raced...

~Read Him and Her and the first 3 parts of Golden Music first to understand this story better~ *** As Hades stepped into the darkness, a whirlwind of darkness enveloped him, along with a crystal clear voice, smooth as the ocean’s waters. “Where were you Hades?” “I’m sorry, Marie came back, and I directed them to the ghosts. She brought the one who escaped the room with her.” “Humans aren’t allowed in the Underworld. You out of everyone should know that, Hades.” “I know, it’s just…” “Today we’re gonna go over the plan.

“Okay, so it’s gonna take a while to get there, so I’ll catch you up,” Marie said in her scratchy voice.“What is happening?” I asked.We were tumbling through a black void, with glowing purple specks throughout. It was very empty compared to the complexities of the escape room, but if I focused, I could almost see a face looking back at me from all directions with glowing violet eyes.“Oh, we’re just...travelling. It’s the fastest way to get there,” Marie said, straightening her dress while tumbling upside-down.“And where is there?” I asked, t...

ThumpA sharp pain woke me up, throbbing through my skull.I looked around at the room: brown, rusty walls surrounded me, with ancient paintings plastered throughout. There were glass cases around and in the middle of the room with little things in them like an exhibit. Bronze statues of gods were holding a crook and flail, with their arms crossed over them.A museum?It looked just like an Egyptian museum.BzzAn intercom turned on.You have been imprisoned in this museum. Getting out will prove if you are clever enough to serve the King. Objects ...

DAY 1Dear Diary,Today was horrible. My friends aren’t really my friends anymore. Luna left me to go visit her friends that have things to share with her: little fancy cheesecakes, designer pens, and their bunnies. Bunnies. Luna will do anything for bunnies. After English, Kaylie completely ditched me, going off with her cousins to the mall to buy who knows what. Probably purses. Raven, being the most similar to me, decided to morph into a different person. She and I were all like, “Yes, we like darkness, grunge, black, all that good stuff.” ...

SlumpAlicia slumped down on a chair after the last dance of the day. She was a hip-hop backup dancer that was doing a tour with Little Iné, currently the biggest rap/hip-hop singer in the world. She was doing a tour across North America, and they had just arrived from New Jersey, heading up toward Maine. Alicia had always wanted to visit Boston from when she was 9 years old, because of the giant libraries and museums. She was kind of a nerd. Anyways, here she was, 8 years later, in Boston, but for a completely different reason. When she was ...
