Groaning awake, a hangover had me grumbling to myself. How did those elves manage to get me so drunk? Massaging my forehead, a long yawn drew from my lips. Checking the clock, I had a couple of hours to get ready. Sliding off the couch, Luna and Felina were cuddling on our bed. Stumbling my way into the bathroom, I drew myself a bath. Time to get this disgusting alcohol scent off of me. Climbing into the tub, the magical soap dissolved any foul stench while cleaning my hair. Sinking under the water, a sense of serenity washed over me. Gettin...
Standing in my prison cell with a twisted smirk, Master Elements waved at me from the otherside of the steel door of my cryogenic chamber. Dusting off his emerald designer suit, his matching slicked back hair shimmered in the light of my cell. Watching his emerald eyes glitter with adventure, my white prisoner suit fought against its anti freezing nature. A Victorian number enticing me, the high low skirt and corset top being made of the same material. Noticing a frilly coat and the ruffles on the other hand, he cleared his throat. What was ...
Lily:A darkness came over my dream, the pad in the dream version of my room glitching out. Scribbling note after note, everything felt fuzzy as I laid the notes on their pillows. If I wrote that I was going to attempt to assassinate him on my own, they would come a hell of a lot faster. Sending one down to my father, that was the final one. The edges of the dreamlike trap, a hand grabbing my ankle and scythe at the last second. A pair of shadowy arms tossed me into a sea of jet black sand, a loud crack snapping my spirit into my body. ...
Matty:A knock on the deli’s door had me looking up from the evening’s food preparation for the next day, Derrick mentioning that he would finish up. Washing my hands, an eager Mike knocked on the door with a groggy Lily in tow. Mouthing an apology behind him, his fingers plucked a piece of dust off of his suit. Calling for Derrick to lock up, his hand caught my keys. Thankful that he moved into the empty apartment down the street, he shot me a thumbs up. Tossing my apron onto a nearby table, Lily clung to my waist. Cupping her cheeks, my ten...
Another round of abrupt knocking had me stumbling to the door with an equally groggy Felina on my back, a stressed out Acer pacing around as I opened the door with a big yawn. What did he want? Last night’s battle was still wearing on my body, a black and white photo fluttering in his hands. Cursing under my breath, I realized that I wasn’t wearing a shirt. Gulping at my sheer amount of hidden muscle, he cleared his throat as he shoved it in my face. “My quest to find my crown showed up!” He exclaimed proudly, his ivory armor glistening in t...
Staring numbly ahead, the pain of my father’s confession had me shaken to my core. My heart had been shattered to pieces since then, my real father sitting next to me. Running his hand through his hair, it took everything for me not to cry. Wondering why he invited me along, this wasn't a rotting soul situation. In fact, it was something to do with a couple of demons. Glancing over at him, he looked deep in thought. Hoping he wasn't as torn up as I was, the subject was a touch sore with both of us. “Just out of curiosity, why do you need me...
A knock had me rushing to the door, a pacing Acer yanked me outside. His hair had been twisted into a ceremonial bun, his other hand shoving ivory armor into my chest. Confusion mixed with the grogginess of simply waking a second ago, his lips moving a mile a minute. Being too drowsy to catch his words, his hand slapped my cheek. Waking up instantly, his berating became clear. “I need you to be my partner in the Clash of Blades, he got into an accident with his dragon." Yawning groggily, I tugged on the armor. Acer looked stressed out,...
Lily:My mother’s gray hair had been twisted into a severe bun, fear mixing with rage in my eyes. Holding a burning hot poker in her gloved hands, she forced me to strap my ankles to the floor. Laying my cheek on the bed, my fifteen year old reflection greeted my quivering eyes. Fresh bruises and cuts covered my cheeks, Matty having called several times to ask how I was doing. Holding my arm pale side up, her wicked laughter tumbled from her lips the moment she pressed the hot metal to my arm. Screaming into the bed, another bad day at work h...
Darwin:Wandering through the capital’s marketplace, Luna had requested a certain dish. Harsh whispers passed around me, the words the god of death catching my ears. How the hell did they find out? Welcome back to my damn childhood! Finding the sweet bread stand, the tip of a sword pressed into my back. Whipping my scythe from my back, a hot gust of wind blew my ivory blouse about. Glancing behind me with a sly grin, the dirt crunched as I turned to face his father. My heart sank into my stomach, his hair floating up. The abrupt silence made ...
Michael:Lottie fussed with her scythe, her jet black summer dress floated about in a warm gust of air. Wondering how she wasn’t chilly, my waves blew around in an even warmer gust of air. Proud of her and thankful for the one on one time with her before her first meeting with God. Clearing her throat, her tired eyes met mine. Dark bags had me concerned around her, Lily hadn’t been getting any sleep. Poking the hot wall of energy, it was hot to the touch. What the hell! “Quit worrying about me.” She spoke softer than usual, her confidence dyi...
Acer:Sitting by my favorite stained glass window, the image of dark haired hero with golden eyes mesmerized my five year old self. His dragon had me hoping for mine, my father approaching me with his false grin. His ornate silver suit shimmered in the moonlight, his sage eyes flitting between the window and me. Running his hand through his dark orange silky waves, his ears pinned back with a quiet rage. Someone had a bad day and I was to be the punching bag. “How come you worship this future soldier and not me?” He queried with another fals...
Lucifer:A white haired baby girl wailed in the window of my lover’s home, her ruby eyes staring at me with the deepest love. Her mother called me in, her messy hair clung to her face. Taking in my casual ruby button up shirt and dark jeans, her trembling arms laid her in my arms. Tears flowed from her eyes, her lips pressing into a thin line. What was with her damn body language? “I need you to disguise her demon form for me. People are starting to stare.” She spoke coldly, her eyes refusing to meet mine. “I don’t even know if I want h...
Walking through the pristine cobblestone streets, brick homes created a background to the myriad of carts selling whatever you needed. Luna and Acer shot into the bustling morning crowd, someone bumping into me. Fuming about where the hell they were running off too, his manners still required work. Spinning on my heels, my arms caught a pregnant fairy. Seconds from ripping her a new one, her appearance gave me pause. Her dusty pink waves floated up, her bangs hiding her eyes. Helping her to her feet, her fingers gripped my simple ivory blous...
Matty:Tapping my finger on the steering wheel of my car, the chaos at home was becoming too much. Our baby was due any day now by Lucifer’s calculation, her demon nature pushing it along faster than usual. Turning down my usual road to my favorite spot, something felt off. The night turned darker, the usual curves straightening out into a long ribbon of concrete. Anxiety built with the dread, creatures of all kinds darting in between the dead trees. My eyes flitted between my cell phone and the road, my mind wondering if I should bother Luci...
Thankfully the meeting ended with better terms, we had twenty minutes to prepare for takeoff. The spies cut down several trees, the storm clouds rumbling overhead. Using them as a cover, the rain would trap them to their camp. Luna tugged on my worn leather jacket, her arms yanking me into a desperate embrace. Wondering what was keeping her behind, her ears pinned back. “Come back in one piece for me.” She pleaded adorably, stepping back while smoothing out the first jacket that Boran gave me. Kissing the top of her head, it was time t...
