It was breakfast time and there were kids, well, young adults in various states of dress entering the cafeteria. Young adults from 18 to 22 go from dressed and ready for the day to just rolled out of bed and put some pants on. That wasn’t abnormal for this time of the semester, it was exam season. Students would stay up till the early morning hours studying or take a blanket and spend the night in the library studying. It could be a stressful and unfortunate time of the year where tensions ran high and some students didn’t want to hear your ...
My life was now a living hell.I had died at a friend’s house on Edgefield Road and now I was stuck here. And worst of all they liked to keep their place warm and toasty. I hated warm and toasty.In life I had had a high body temperature so to contradict the heat in the house I made it colder. But now I was stuck making everything around me really cold. So when I walked into a room the family knew I was there. It did get less and less potent as time passed but I still hated the heat no matter how long time passed. I'd usually hang out in the b...
It was my cousin’s only daughter’s birthday. She was turning 4 and my cousin was never one to do things halfway. There was a table of desserts; little donuts, cake pops matching the sparkle theme, frosted pretzels, cupcakes, and cookies my cousin ordered that were cut in star shapes and designed like sparkling stars. There was a food table; with dishes of fruit, bowels of chips, beans, salsa, and dip. Inside the house was food like rolls, and a macaroni dish with cheese, ham, and corn. There was barbecue pulled pork and some cheesy sliced ...
“Just for the record.” I said as my best friend pulled me through the huge glass doors to the casino, “I’m only here because it’s your bachelorette party and because I love you.” “Duly noted.” Rachel replied then squealed with some of her friends from work. Rachel Vasquez and I had been best friends since elementary school when she bit Emily Meyers for pushing me off the play equipment. She was an irreplaceable part of my life and now I had to make room for her husband-to-be. Don’t get me wrong Michael Owen is a great guy and he’s a solid ...

Eleanor’s POVThe heat slowly receded from my body as his lips found mine again. I was terrified before I felt the familiar feeling of electricity at his touch pulse through my body."I was so worried." He whispered against my lips."I'm ok Will." I said, pulling away."Yeah, but-" he stopped and his eyes traveled down. "Why were you naked?""I was hot." I said embarrassed. I heard what sounded like a low growl come from the back of his throat as his hands traveled down my sides until they made their way to my hips and he crushed his lips ba...

“Are you coming over tonight?” I groaned, “If I come over I'm gonna run into Trent.” “Come on girl. It's a party. There's gonna be tons of people besides Trent.” Of course, my best friend Kayla was trying to get me to come to her party. But I wasn't gonna bite. “Hmm,” She huffed. I smiled to myself and opened my closet. If I stayed silent long enough.... “Ok.” She groaned, “What's it gonna take?” I laughed, “A favor. To be determined later.” I heard a crash through the phone. “You know I hate those.” She said through her teeth. I shrugged, “...

The sky was dark and rainy, clouds covered the sky and the distant rumble promised a lightning storm. It was usually so beautiful with a big sun, a few puffy white clouds, and a great blue sky that was about six shades lighter than the beautiful blue sea that ran up and down the coastline. Costa had everyone’s favorite beaches and was everyone’s idea of the perfect place for a beach vacation. Everyone that lived there was either there for water sports or benefited from the beautiful water. One such person was Dr. Aaron Roberts. He was a very...

I blew out a puff of air that made my bangs fly up and then take their place again, impeding my vision. I'd been sitting at my window staring down at the park and street view. Lately, there had been reports of a teenage male around sixteen wandering the streets at night. But anytime someone tried to talk to him, to tell him to go home, he would disappear. I'd been hoping to see him tonight. I looked over at my clock, 12:45am. I looked out at the street. It was a suburb so there were pretty two-car garage houses with their automatic porch lig...

I groaned and slid off of him as we both laid there breathing heavily. “That was....” The man next to me began. I knew what he was gonna say. 'It was amazing. Your amazing' I'd take it but it stopped meaning anything to me more than 6 months ago. “Amazing.” he continued, “You were amazing.” “Thanks” I sighed. He rolled onto his side and wrapped his arms around me, “Lets-” “Actually I should get going.” I said sitting up. “Do you have to?” He asked as I grabbed my dress and underwear from the floor. “Yes.” They always did this. They either wa...

I felt my mind come back to me from sleep. I yawned and rolled over to see if he was there. Of course, he wasn't. Derek had been going to work early and coming back late every single day for a month. Not only that but he'd been going on a lot of 'business trips' lately. Last month, he hadn't gone on a single business trip but, within the last month, he'd gone on six to eight. I groaned and got up to get ready for work. While I went through my usual morning routine I thought about how I'd gotten into this mess. I met Derek in Vegas. And like ...

I was startled awake as a warm fire burned across my thighs. That hadn't been any ordinary dream, it'd been a premonition. I jumped out of bed, burst through my bedroom door almost breaking my door, jumped off the landing and landed on the balls of my feet on the carpet below. I'd been making that jump since I was 14 and had found my wolf. Anita, my wolf, was pacing in my chest, anxious herself from the premonition. “Mom! Dad!” I yelled, “I just had a premonition!” My parents paused in their morning activity. My mother had frozen halfway to ...

The room was silent and empty. Not a single sound permeated the silence of the guest bedroom that had never been used since the owners had bought the place. Sun danced across the walls throughout the day and only the footsteps when the owners went up and down the stairs could even faintly be heard from inside. But birds, the wind and the leaves rustling on the nearby tree. But today was no ordinary day. The silence surely wouldn't last for long however since the owners were finally bringing their kids over from across the country to make thi...
