“The Price of Memories” by Starlight Geminine

Submitted to Contest #88

        Deep in the wild, tangled woods that bordered the castle, there was a clearing. In and of itself, this clearing was nothing special; just one of many in the large forest. What made this one in particular stand out was the pool nestled at its center. Almost perfectly round, the pool was ringed by stones that just barely stopped the water from spilling out across the forest floor. Few people knew about thi...

“Sailing Under the Stars” by Starlight Geminine

Submitted to Contest #83

Aydan surfaced with a spluttering gasp, shoving waterlogged hair out of her eyes. She treaded water as she watched the boat slowly circle around to pick her up again. Even from this distance, she could hear the faint sound of her father’s laughter on the wind. As the boat drew level with Aydan, her father called out, “Having a nice swim?” Aydan scoffed. “You did that on purpose.” “Me? Never.” ...

“We're Both Still Alive” by Starlight Geminine

Submitted to Contest #76

“Hey. I thought I saw you slip out here.” “Did anybody else see?” “Will might’ve noticed, but nobody else as far as I know.” “Good.” “So, what brings you out here to brood?” “Wha—I’m not brooding!” “Jay, darling. Yes you are.” “Am not—I’m not having this argument with you.” “Fair enough. So what’s on your mind?” “What makes you think someth...

“Starlight and Moonbeam” by Starlight Geminine

Submitted to Contest #68

You yawn, leaning against my shoulder. I can’t help but laugh as I lean down to murmur in your ear. “You’re gonna miss it.” “And who’s fault is that?” you grumble, though you open your eyes and sit up. “I’m not the one who woke us up before dawn.” “Trust me Starlight, it’ll be worth it,” I reply. You let out a little huff, and I lean down to press a kiss to the top of your head. Momen...

“Lie to me” by Starlight Geminine

Submitted to Contest #67

Emmy took a deep breath, then eased open the bedroom door. Luckily, the room’s occupant wasn’t a light sleeper, so she hardly stirred as Emmy entered and closed the door behind her. Emmy had wandered this room enough times during the day to know where the floor creaked and groaned, so it was easy enough to cross the room with hardly a sound. Once she reached the window, Emmy quietly pulled it open, then stuck h...

“Game of Chance” by Starlight Geminine

Submitted to Contest #66

“Ya know,” Alex said, lounging against the bars of the cage, “if agreeing to this deal is your way of trying to apologize for getting us into this mess, it doesn’t really count if you’re already planning your defeat.” Jazz sighed as she tied her hair back so she could think. “Shut up Alex.” “Oh I’m sorry for being concerned about you gambling both of our lives.” “I said shut up.” Jazz...

“Sharp Teeth and Blue Eyes” by Starlight Geminine

Submitted to Contest #65

The shrill ringing of an alarm clock broke the early morning silence, quickly followed by muffled grumblings from the cocoon on the bed. A hand emerged from the blankets and felt around blindly until it found the clock to silence the alarm. A few moments later, a head appeared, brown hair still mussed from sleep. James glared sleepily at his alarm clock, then started the arduous process of untangling himself fr...

“Escaping Fate” by Starlight Geminine

Submitted to Contest #62

As the door slammed closed behind him, the prince groaned in frustration before falling face-first into his bed. He would have been content to just lay there for the rest of time, but it wasn’t long before he was bothered by a soft tapping noise. He debated ignoring it for a few moments, but as the tapping grew louder and more insistent, he gave in and sat up. The source of the tapping was the mirror in the cor...
