The Peter Pan in Black

Ashlyn Anderson

*Note from the Author* Please enjoy this boy's tale and let me know what you think. This is one of the many stories that I believe didn't make it into the Pens of Fate book, and they will be just my stories for giving those who can't handle gore little nightmares. I will continue to write for myself, not for the people who judge based on what the cover looks like. They will miss out on these torn pages that never age because of what is written in them. To my inner angels who kept fighting against the demons of my mind, I want to thank you ...

Darkness to the Flames/That is the True Me/plus two bonus poems (4 small poems)

Ashlyn Anderson

*Note from the Author* -This is not a fairytale or part of a story saga. This is my high school/middle school recovery from being burned. As the darkness fades and my time at this beautiful bonfire starts to burn out (meaning my time at Baker High, cause I am halfway through high school). I have come out of the shadows for just enough time to light a spark in the hands of another dark soul. I will burn for myself and hope for a brighter future for myself and others. Please enjoy this poem and let me know what you think. I will continue to ...

A Beautiful Wish

Ashlyn Anderson

*Note from the Author* Please enjoy this girl's tale and let me know what you think. This is one of the many stories that I believe didn't make it into the Pens of Fate book, and they will be just my stories for giving those who can't handle gore little nightmares. I will continue to write for myself, not for the people who judge based on what the cover looks like. They will miss out on these torn pages that hold beauty written in them. To my inner angels who kept fighting against the demons of my mind, I want to thank you for it. And to t...

Playing God

Ashlyn Anderson

I am a scientist who cloned my family that died in an airplane crash the year before — but I soon learn the repercussions of playing God. My family now has a strange thirst for blood, my blood, probably because I wasn’t on the plane that killed them. I was too busy hiding a dark secret— I killed someone. This is the story of why I did it and how did the clones find out... *Note from the Author* Please enjoy Peter's tale and let me know what you think. I am stopping the Pens of Fate for reasons that I will not disclose, but I will continue ...

Like a Corpse Dancing in the Sun

Ashlyn Anderson

*This is not part of the Pens of Fate stories.* There was no escape. Day or night, night or day, it followed him. It was a primal fear, a nightmare within itself. It worked its way up from the depths of his stomach until it completely consumed him. His waking hours were consumed with thoughts of her that came with her missing person posters that seemed to blow everywhere in the streets. His nightly repose granted no relief. Fear, that was what Peter felt every time he saw Roxy Willaims’s missing person’s posters. At ...

The Pens of Fate (Chapter 7 and 8 remake)

Ashlyn Anderson

Ethan stood in front of the school’s doors waiting for Tina. He held a calm expression even though his mind couldn’t get over the fact that Tina and her family have been hurting for 15 years. Well, now no one will hurt you because I’m here, he thought as Tina and Liz walked to the stone steps. Ethan wouldn’t have described her as pretty. Tina was more bewitching than any other girl he knew. Liz continued to walk when Tina stopped to admire Ethan. He looked like a dream come true, and there was nothing she could do to stop her reaction: it fe...

The Pens of Fate (Chapter 6 and 7 remake)

Ashlyn Anderson

Dan Tanner and Maddison Marsh were vast fans of creepypasta; that should mean that they shouldn’t have to be constantly looking over their shoulders, in paranoia. But that’s not what happened... lately they have been feeling like something was following them, stalking even, when they walked past the woods by Dan’s house, on the way to their high school... Today, Maddie seemed a little withdrawn at lunchtime; she barely ate her vegan burger. She hated meat. Dan looked from her plate to Maddie’s baby blue eyes, “What’s wrong with you? ...

The Pens of Fate (Chapter 5 part 2 and Chapter 6 remake)

Ashlyn Anderson

Zach jumped out of the little brown leather book and ran into his locker. He was at his high school in the real world. Don’t give up, Addie. Fight it while I get help, he thought as he took off with Adaline’s book. As he passed teachers and students, he found missing posters on the school’s walls. Adaline’s short brown hair looks more doll-like than human. The photo shows the different schools in the background, probably the ones that she went to before she moved to Baker. And the strange thing was she was wearing glasses, but you could stil...

The Pens of Fate (Chapter 5 remake)

Ashlyn Anderson

Meanwhile, in the real world, Adaline had come back from the book and was sitting on her bed talking to her best friend, Zach, who was the only one who knew about the pens. “The pen of death is still in the wrong world,” Adaline sighed, “I hoped that my writing would help clean and solve the problems in this world, but it’s been a complete mess of my worlds and I can’t keep up.” Zach held out his notebook, “Maybe you need to write a different world and ditch the others.” Adaline looked through the notebook. It read; There wer...

The Pens of Fate (Chapter 4 remake)

Ashlyn Anderson

In the writing club, Artie's pen lay on its side as the group stared down at it, remembering what Ethan had done. Adaline, the girl who had given the pens to them so she could get the one Ethan stole back, spoke up, "Artie's death and rebirth was not your fault, Cody. We will get through this, and Ethan will lose. Liz, you will take Artie's pen. Tina, you are now part of the student body, so we can get information on Ethan. Cody and Simon, we need a war plan." Cody, Simon, and Adaline stood in the club room, along with the masked girl, whi...

The Pens of Fate (Chapters 2-3 remake)

Ashlyn Anderson

When Artie got home, his pen lay on the desk in his bedroom. He rolled over to his desk and started to flip a yearbook that lay beside the pen. Artie had been looking for the missing pen. It has to be someone he knows, he thought. Artie pulled out a packet of paper and started writing. His plan is to change each student to see who isn’t showing their true self. He had already made it to the letter “E” and still had made no luck. As Artie read through the names, one stood out from the others; Ethan Eval. I will keep fighting, and prot...

The Pens of Fate (Chapters 1 remake)

Ashlyn Anderson

Hey guys, sorry that I haven’t been writing lately. I have been rewriting the Pens of Fate sage starting from the beginning. There are new characters, new relationships, and a new enemy. I will be deleting the old stories because of this. This book contains and mentions sensitive material relating to mental illnesses, several personality disorders, suicide, suicidal thoughts, post-traumatic stress disorder, murder, death, alcoholism, self-harm, and depression. Reader discretion is highly advised and it is important to practice self-c...

Zack and the Darkness (part 1)

Ashlyn Anderson

Submitted to Contest #94

Zack looked at the demon girl as Addie flew past him and got slammed against the wall like she was a pillow. She morphed back into her human self as she slid down the wall. Addie didn’t look so hot; you could tell that several of her ribs were broken, she had a busted lip, and was coughing up blood. Zack had to tap into the pen’s powers to save her even though he would have to give up being human. It was a bad course of action but he didn’t have another plan and wouldn’t be able to make one in time for Addie’s sake. Zack’s eyes darken as his...

Adaline's Death and Rebirth (part 10)

Ashlyn Anderson

Adaline watched Zack’s face as Damian and he left the room. Her heart just sank as she thought to herself, I am sorry guys, but I can’t face you after ditching you. Adaline felt the stone climbable around her and her fur peeked out. Adaline looked up at the moon through the small window in awe. Ethan wasn’t the only villain that wanted to change the world; Adaline has a side that should have been destroyed when she made the Forgotten’s pen, the mask she wears hides the truth and reality from her because of the pain it brings her. The part th...

Wonderland's Country Estate of Shadows (part 9)

Ashlyn Anderson

Zack knew when people say, ‘country estate,’ they usually mean a big grand house with a lot of beauty and land. But the house that they were looking at was everything that Adaline had made it to be; terrifying and somewhat nightmarish. The building rose forbidding and brutal as if it had been waiting for them to come and save the others. Dan, Damian, Tina, and Zack stared at the unfamiliar countryside; the hills shot up like knives and the air was crisp. The moon had started to peek out from behind one of the hills; they had spent almost hal...
