“Friend for the Waves” by April Lectrice

Submitted to Contest #83

Calla looked over her shoulder as she ran, a smile spread wide over her face. "You're going to have to be faster than that Ace!" She called. Her younger brother responded with a fake snarl. "Oh, come on Calla. Come back here," He called back after a moment. Calla giggled, watching her footing so that she wouldn't trip. Living on the edge of the forest had its perks but also its downfalls. Literally. Running harder she went deeper into the forest. They would reach the beach soon, with its sparkling sand and crisp, cool waves. It was one of th...

“Don't Let Go” by April Lectrice

Submitted to Contest #68

Climbing up the final rung, I reached the roof. The stars shone over me, fading out into early morning. I held out my arm and my owl, Nova, landed on my forearm. I looked over to where I normally sit in the morning but was surprised to see there was someone else waiting for the early morning rays. I walked over to them. To my surprise, the man who was sitting there was somehow familiar. I couldn’t place from where, but I knew that I had met him before. He looked up and smiled. “Hello. Have you come to watch the sunrise too?” He asked. His v...

“Starry Night Eyes” by April Lectrice

Submitted to Contest #50

I walked down the street, head hung low with my hands deep in my pockets. The rain hit my hat and overcoat, allowing a few stray raindrops to fall onto my neck and face. I still had a few more blocks to go and I wasn't about to be late because of a rain storm. After evading a stray umbrella, I opened the door to a small bakery. The bell chimed over the door as I walked inside. There was no one at the register, but the smell of fresh baked bread and pastries reached my nose. I took in a deep breath, taking in all the wonderful smells. A young...

“Sacrifice ” by April Lectrice

Submitted to Contest #42

Clemency stared up at the night sky, unsure of what caused her to do what she had done. As she felt gravity push her downward, she was able to see the stars shine brighter than she had ever seen them. It was strange, because the city lights should have been blocking out their celestial light. With that image in her head, Clemency closed her eyes before the breath was pulled from her lungs. ✯ “Are you sure that you are ready for this?” Moria asked. Clemency glanced at her partner, who was leaning on the wall beside her.  “Yes. This ...

“Wolves” by April Lectrice

Submitted to Contest #41

I walked out of my den. Alana and the rest of the pack was beginning to gather, preparing for the first hunt. Being one of the lesser Betas, I was able to slip into the group without being noticed.Our Alpha, Alana was going over the strategies. “The Omegas will chase the deer out and try to separate a few from the herd. Then the group of betas that I assigned a moment ago will emerge from the tree at Birdbeak Peak. Then they will continue the chase to where I will be waiting with Dalka, Olgrum, Torbik, and Alis at Fox Hole Hill. We will clos...

“Trust Fall” by April Lectrice

Submitted to Contest #40

My bow had been taken along with my quiver of arrows. I tried to pull away from my captures, but it was in vain. They pulled me into the helicopter. I caught one last glance at my friends. The fighting was still going strong, but I was able to find some of my comrades amid the fighting. One of them looked up at me and I saw the horror on their face as the helicopter rose into the air. I lost sight of them. I couldn’t see the battle. The door was open and I dared to sneak closer to the edge, trying to see what would happen to my friends. My f...

“Aerial Drop” by April Lectrice

Submitted to Contest #35

Reva spun in a downward spiral, catching herself right before the ground. Putting her feet down she stood up, holding the silks in her hand. Her instructor, Ms. Conti, nodded, before Reva placed her feet back in the silks and climbed back up near where the silks were mounted in the ceiling.  “Okay, Reva, try the pencil drop one more time before we go on to practicing your routine again,” her instructor said. Reva wrapped up herself in the silk before dropping back down to the ground, spinning with her arms extended. When she landed on t...

“Rainy Days” by April Lectrice

Submitted to Contest #34

I looked out of the window, watching the rain drip off of the house. It had been raining for so long, I could barely remember the sun. Okay, take that back. It had only been raining for two days, but the temperature had dropped in those 48 hours.  My cat stirred beside me. My dog snored on the rug at my feet. I looked back down at the book in my hands, staring blankly at the page. As I tried to find my place, Danny walked into the sitting room. “Eve,” The three year old questioned. “Yes Danny,” I asked back. “I’m bored. Jenny won’t play...
