“Just A Little Fun” by Athena Ember Antigone

*Trigger Warning* Mature Romance and violence. "Alexandra!" "Yes, Master," I say. "I have a new job for you." "Oh, I' m excited." "Good. His name is Antonio Bianchi. 6'2, 200 pound, Italian-American Male." "Should be easy enough," I say as a sly smile spreads across my face. "Might even get to have some a little fun with him," I say chuckling. "Alexandra, don't be so cocky," Master bites back at me. Stupid that I call him Master isn't it? We can'tcall him by hiss real name though. Not like Alexandra is my real name eithe...

“Falling in Reverse ” by Athena Ember Antigone

He likes me! He really likes me! And gosh do I like him. With his strong face and sly smile. Hazel eyes and olive skin. He’s not the tallest guy I've met but he is pretty strong. He's Italian in Italian it just makes sense. We met at a 70’s dance at school. My friend introduced us. From the second we meant we had a connection. I hope I’ll see him today.

“The End of Flames ” by Athena Ember Antigone

"I knew this was going to happen" "I suppose I've just been waiting for it to... to well happen" "Miss, please don't say that. It's a serious accusation," the policeman says. I look away for what's left of my burnt house and at the ignorant officer. "I know it is, and it's true!" I shout. "Miss, I know you've been through a lot tonight, but we need a straight story." "I gave you one! I was coming back from a Christmas party when I turned onto my street and saw my house up in flames!  As I pulled over I saw Seth running away!" I ...

“The Witch Code” by Athena Ember Antigone

"Hey guys, let's play truth or dare," Raven says. "No, we always play that," Beatrix says. "Then what are we going to do? I'm bored!" Peter exclaims. "Bored? We just snuck into Shadowlight Academy. How can you be bored?" I ask. "We'll have plenty of other opportunities to sneak in, once we attend here. Can we just go?" Harry asks, standing up. "No way!" Harry's girlfriend, Linda says. "You know the rules as well as I do, we won't be attending this school for a while." "I know, I know-" "Then let's make the best of the time we h...

“The Tree of Sparks ” by Athena Ember Antigone

"Come on Thor. Time to go for a walk" Thor comes running bringing his leash. He's ready. "Oh, so today you want to go on a walk? Hugh? Silly dog," I say to him. I clasp his leash on and lock the door behind me. It's a beautiful fall day. The trees are red and orange with some brown leaves covering their roots. The sky is blue with no clouds in sight. The air is crisp with a light breeze. It's another perfect day for a walk. Thor and I take a walk every day. As long as the weather allows us. Thor pulls me ahead knowing where to go. We t...

"Umhm!" "Umhm!" I repeat louder this time. It's the first day of school and this class won't shut up. It's going to be a long year. "Everyone please quiet down!" I yell. Finally, they listen. Thank God. "Welcome back to Scarlet Moon Academy. My name is Mrs. E, and I am your World's Creatures teacher. I'm sure you all think as supernaturals, that you already know all there is to know about yourself and your mythical friends. Especially since this is your last year at the Academy. Right?" I scan the classroom, waiting for the stupid kids t...

"Come on Jenna, just answer the question. Are you coming tonight or not?" "I don't know Nancy" "What do you mean you don't know?" Nancy asks sarcastically. "I don't know if I can stand to see Chris with that bitch! We did just broke up last week and he's already got a new girlfriend!" I yell. "That's why you should go!" Nancy shouts excitedly. "Yeah!

"Baby, is that the last box?" "Yes, we are now officially moved in!" I say to Gabriel as I put down the box. "What's in that box?" he asks. "Uhu, pictures I think," I say as I open the box. "Yup, pictures." "Woho, Alosa remember this?" Gabe asks, picking up the picture on top of the pile. "Of course I do. This is in Catalina, where we met," I say looking at the picture of us smiling by the ocean. "I remember it like it was yesterday." ------ "Alosa, come on, get out of the car, you're going to miss the boat!" "Mom, I don't wa...

“A Dress Like No Other” by Athena Ember Antigone

"Looks more like a bra than a dress!" "Who would wear that on their wedding day?" ------- Ok, ok I expected this. But let me give you a little back story. Let's go back to three months ago. ------- "Megan come on, we've been here all day! Just choose a dress already!" Addie yells at me. "Addie, it's my wedding dress. It has to be perfect. You only get married once," I say to my cousin. "Or twice..." Maddie adds. And I can't help but laugh, neither can any of our other friends. Maddie is one of my dearest friends, but she has be...

"Anna hurry up, we're going to be late!" Sall yells. "I'm coming, geez," I yell back. "I don't like that tone, Missie," she says as I run down the stairs. She's already at the door holding it open. Her black veil is blowing in the cold autumn breeze, matching the pace of her dark dress. Not exactly the dress I'd choose to wear to my husband's funeral. With lase more for decoration than coverage. But what do I care, it's not like she does. Out the door, I see the strange-looking figure that has been following me my whole life. Once he s...

It's ok, no one will know...I'm safe now...He can't- he can't hurt me. Not anymore.------I love the smell of a fresh-baked apple pie. There's nothing like it. No better way to make this home my own. Sure, I still haven't unboxed any of my boxes yet, but I have to do this first."Mum," I sigh as I take my first smell of the apple pie, straight out of the oven. I cut into the crispy crust of the pie and let the juices ooze out. Delish.-----"Wow, it's already 12:00am?" I say looking up from my book at the clock. "I really should go to bed," I sa...

“Hidden in the Dark” by Athena Ember Antigone

You: Goodnight Babe, Love you :)Danny: Night, lytReally he couldn't spell it out? Such a dry texter. When guys start saying LYT it's one step from breaking up. Right? Whatever I don't care, I'm going to bed.I wonder what time my parents are coming home? How long can a banquet last? They left at 5:00pm it's now 11:00. I hope they're ok.

I look out the bathroom wind...

“Murderous Lies” by Athena Ember Antigone

Submitted to Contest #96

*Knock, Knock* What in the world? Who could that be? I think to myself as I glance at the clock. It's almost midnight no one should be here at this hour. I stand up from my desk shoving my case under some unimportant papers. I can't afford anyone getting their hands on my suspecte. This case has been taking me FOREVER. It shouldn't be this hard to find a frod. But, this one's smart. They keep changing their name, appearance, job, and anything else I might be able to identify them with. At first they were a "bartender" then a "constructio...

“Choose” by Athena Ember Antigone

It should never be hard to choose between good and evil. Right? ------- "Come on Lilly, you know you want to choose me, I'm the best. You'll have fun here. You know I'm right. What are you wanting for?" a voice says coming from a door. Hold on. Doors don't talk. What's going on? Where am I? How did I get here? I can barely see anything. It's so bright on my right side, and so dark on my left. "It's time to choose," a new voice says. Choose? Choose what? Finally my eyes start to adjust. There are two doors in front of me. One on...
