***NOT RELATED TO PROMPT*** Contains death. Inspired by the song Milk & Cookies by Melanie Martinez. The sweet smell of hot chocolate and soft memories floats towards me, and I sigh, breathing them in. I can faintly hear the barking of a dog, as mom calls me in for dinner. There is laughter coming from the woods, and I step towards it. Towards safety.
Warning: contains mentions of mental health, drugs (maybe?), and kidnapping.Inspired by the song Tag, You're It by Melanie Marinez.***NOT RELATED TO PROMPT***“So, what’s the catch?”“Crybaby will have to be there, too.” My older sister Lauren glared at me, and I shrunk back from her, instead running ahead. Abby rolled her eyes, her expression almost exactly the same as Lauren’s.But I still had a smile on my face. Nothing could ruin me....
"It's beautiful," she breathes. The boy next to her smiles. "I knew you would like it, Keilah." Keilah smiles back sadly. "Do we have to be seperated by it?" "You're Amity. I'm Dauntless. This flame-red tree proves we don't need to be," he says, pulling Keilah close. She bites her lip. This is wrong, it's not meant to be. But it's love. And I love him. Nothing can seperate us. He's right....
Adrianna used to be my best friend. But now, she’s gone, and nobody knows how, or where she is. “Careful around that girl,” my mother always said to me. Depressed; that’s what many people said she was. Extraordinary, that was what my teacher used to call her.. Finished; that was what our friendship was, because nobody knew where she and her family were. “Girls are like that, sometimes they just…...
“Rikka…” Maeryn nodded towards the mirror. “You should check on her.” Rikka nodded. “Yeah. I know. But…” “She needs you,” Lulu said, looking with sad eyes at her best friend. “I know!” Rikka exclaimed. “Just…go somewhere else, okay?” “But–” Lulu started, but Maeryn shook her head. “Lulu, let’s go. You wanted to be able to keep Talie, you need to be able to take care of her.”
*NOT RELATED TO PROMPT*“Did you know that there was once a NightWing animus called Darkstalker?” whispered Soulreader. She was a tiny dragonet, barely three days old, and already could walk, speak, and use her foresight power. And here the intelligent dragonet was, telling four-year-old Duskgazer things he didn’t know. The crazyclaws. “No,” Duskgazer responded. He was only half-listening, he had to guard Queen Battlewinner until the volcano erupted. “Darkstalker was bad. He was e...
*Author's Note* Sorry if this is inaccurate in any way, I just learned about LGBTQ+. I thought this would be a cute idea for the prompt, and a break from my normal fanfictions (Celeste, your part is coming out soon :) !!) Enjoy! Luna. The name brushed through my head like her tail along my back. Like a stray spark of hope. All of which were gone. Lo...
Kaytlin had just found her brother and sister after being captured by this guy. And now he had tracked them down. AGAIN. Great. Now, not only do I have to protect Cal, but my triplet siblings, and Celeste and Sky, too. And THEN we have to go ALL THE WAY to Death Mountain just to find a random dude to stop this guy. UGHHHHH. Daddy said I could just do all this on my own, anyway. That I...

“Moon?” Qibli softly knocked on the door. “Qibli, is that you?” Moon’s quiet voice came through the doorway. “Yeah. Can we talk?” “Is this about Darkstalker again?” “What do you think?” “Well…Qibli…” “Moon, please.” “Qibli…what about Winter?” “Who?” “Winter. Please tell me that D...

Sierra was considered the luckiest girl in the fifth grade, possibly in the whole of CLS. It was because of Elite Force.John, Eli, Milena, Aadhya, and Trent were supposed to be considered her biggest blessing. She was their team captain, and a basketball player, as well. She knew a ton about it. Sierra knew the feeling of being on a basketball team. On a team in general. Sweat streaming down your face, trying as hard as you can, despite the circumstances.She...
“Please, don’t do it,” Bryar begged. “Bryar. You know I have to,” I said. “Lily-” he started, but I shook my head, pulling out my sword. “You have Kailani. I have nothing. The only thing that kept me going is vengeance. And now, I finally have it.” “Lily!” he shouted. I turned away, pretending not to hear him. He had a purpose; I could see it already. He was going to be Guardian of ...
I stared out the window, into the bright, night, light. There was no sign of Celeste. My cloak draped around my yellow mark as I stared at the night sky desperately. No Celeste. I sighed. I could at least wait until Lellani, my brown-yellow cat, came home. I whisked both my hands into the air, and smoke was created in the room. It quickly fell away. I sighed. Lellani leaped in. “Any sign of Celeste, girl...
