“Control it, before it controls you.” by Vameerah Darren

The day had started as it should have. As any other day normally had. I had training with Eleric, bright and early.“You need to control the power, before it controls you, Faven.”That's what he always said, I was rarely convinced. Waking up at sunrise every morning just seemed a little excessive to me. But he was the only family I had, and I trusted him with my life. So if he said to wake up at any ungodly hour, I would listen.Other than lack of sleep. My life was fine, perfect even, so...

“In the dark” by Vameerah Darren

“Hey, hey wake up.”I felt a rough hand on my shoulder, shaking me.“Five more minutes.”I grumbled and rolled over, drifting slowly back into sleep. The hand came back, it was more forceful this time.“Wake. Up.”I groaned in frustration and slid my eyes open, expecting to see my mother hovering over me, but when I opened my eyes, I saw nothing. I don’t mean that there wasn’t anything in the room to look at, I mean there was literally nothin...

“Hold on” by Vameerah Darren

Thomas should be calling me today. I paced back and forth in my cramped room, kicking at the random bottles of mascara and chargers scattered across the old carpet. He was never this late in calling.Every Tuesday, at 6:30, he would call me. We had fallen onto texting each other too much, I’d almost forgotten what he sounded like. Looking into my cracked mirror, I tied my hair up into a ponytail while I studied the various pieces of paper crammed in between the spider web like breaks in the glas...

“Got em” by Vameerah Darren

“RED SUS!” “Nick you literally always say that! Just because I’m red,doesn’t mean I’m automatically sus!” I chuckled into my mic, leaning back in my office chair as the chaos unfolded in front of me. This was the third time I was crewmate since we started playing together, Nick and Jack always attacked each other with random susses that made no sense. But I mean, hey, it was funny to watch...

“Something new” by Vameerah Darren

“Crap!” I bit my tongue to silence myself, coffee trickled down the front of me, leaving a brown trail on my used-to-be pristine white shirt. I inwardly groaned, of course, right before my meeting, my clumsiness decided to come out for a visit. Stumbling to the bathroom, I scrubbed furiously at my blouse, the brown smudge clung onto the fabric. “Oh come on!”

“Never” by Vameerah Darren

“ILLIANA RUN!” I looked up and saw Alex running at me. I glanced up behind him and saw what he was talking about. I took off, my feet pounding against the loose dirt of the old woods. The creature was getting closer. I felt a sharp pain in the back of my head and I cried out. Tumbling to the ground. “ALEX!” He stopped and came back to me, dragging me to my feet.

“Mistakes were made” by Vameerah Darren

“Annie, you can not be serious about this.”I looked up from reading, “What do you mean? Of course I’m serious.”Levi looked at me, his eye brow raised, “We both know that you can’t cook.”I scoffed, tossing my long brown hair behind my shoulder, “How hard can it be?”“Very.”“You doubt my abilities.”“Yes, yes I do.”I slapped his arm, a smile on my face. He was right of course, I was a terrible cook, baker, chocolateer,...

“Choices and consequences ” by Vameerah Darren

“Landry Everton, the jury has found you guilty of breaking and entering, and theft, you will serve out a fifty year sentence in prison.” My heart dropped, no, this could not be happening. I looked helplessly at my lawyer, his head sunk into his hands. The room started spinning, my hands trembling with the realization of what was happening to me. “Look Lan, I...

“Trapped in paradise ” by Vameerah Darren

The sun, crimson and beautiful, peeked out from the horizon, shining through the clouds, illuminating our faces. “Beautiful isn’t it?” I turned to him, “It is, breathtaking even.” He sighed and leaned against me, his arm draped around my shoulders carelessly. “I wouldn’t want to watch it with anyone else," he said softly. I smiled, “Not even your Aunt Susie?...

“Without a trace” by Vameerah Darren

“Oi, Cass, you ready to go?” I looked up from tying my shoe, “Almost, do you have the getaway car set up?” Glen smiled, “Had it set up last night.” I stood and crossed the room to him, “What’s in your pocket?” He tilted his head, feigning innocence. He was a good liar, but I knew my best friend and my ears were acute.

“She, of fire and strength” by Vameerah Darren

It had been twenty-four years since she’d last seen it, but the place looked exactly the same. The ground crumbled beneath her boot as she walked down the winding path. Rubble coating the ground, dust taking the spot where air should’ve been. Her throat dried in a matter of seconds, her eyes surveying the ruins of her old town. Destroyed decades ago, the destruction was still evident. ...

“Board up the lies, lock away the memories” by Vameerah Darren

“I mean, I’ve gotta be honest here, I never really got over him.” Arya looked at me, “Jules, I’m your best friend, and you never thought to tell me that?” I sighed, running my hand through my hair. “I just, Matty and I, we were so… complicated. I didn’t think you’d want to hear anything else about him.” She huffed, blowing her brown bangs out...

“The blood in the snow” by Vameerah Darren

I woke up with a start, the sound of footsteps on the creaky steps pulling me from my dreams. I slipped out of bed and left my room, peeking down the hallway.“Rose?”My sister limped into view,“Hey Mari, I’m just going straight to bed.”I didn’t have to look closely to see the mud on her boots, mixed with the easily recognizable crimson of blood. Her knife was peeking out of her belt, it was permanently stained red.“Rose, where did you go?”<...

“Bits and pieces” by Vameerah Darren

I saw it. I know I did. No one believed me. They all told me I was crazy, but I know what I saw. My brother had been murdered in front of me. I watched the dagger sink into his chest, saw the blood pour out, saw his eyes glaze over as his limp form fell to the ground. I heard my screams when I rushed to his side, felt the shooting pain in my heart, the agony of loss. Yet, in a mere instant...

“Of course it's you” by Vameerah Darren

“The lucky couple chosen for this years annual 'Love under pressure' competition is…” I rolled my eyes and Felicity Goldman made a show of opening the envelope with the couple that could win money, a house, and favor for being, “cute”. “Elliot Miller and Haysen Brown!” I shot up, “WHAT!?” All of my family members started shouting at once, dad...
