Tusks and Dagger Part Fifty-Three: To Stop the Ashy Touch

Yvette Francaise

Standing in front of a shadowy portal, every part of me didn't want to go. A gem waited for me, the Shadow Diamond proving to be the only thing to stop the darkness from devouring his soul. Clutching my scythe close to my chest did little to ease my nerves, the town behind me was all asleep. Boran was going to kill me but I needed to do this alone, Avy popping up behind me with a wide grin. Where did she come from? “I don’t think you are going to go alone. You haven’t been sleeping so that is that.” She chirped cheerfully, spinning her bla...

A Light in the Dark Part Six: The Trail of the Letters

Yvette Francaise

Standing in the local postal office, Matty’s mother had sent him a box. Hovering by the counter, Matty kept staring at his wedding band. Taking the box to his car, he opened it up with intense excitement. His face fell at the pile of letters, confusion dawning on his face. A letter fluttered onto his lap, his mother’s cursive danced across the page. Clearing his throat, an unimpressed expression dimmed his features.  “Dear Newlyweds, I have an adventure for you. I want you to use my grandmother’s letter to find a prize. She lived in L...

A Light in the Dark Part Five: Poison Taints the Wedding

Yvette Francaise

Sitting in front of the fireplace, his mother had made me look more beautiful than I ever could in my life. She had my hair in a fifties’ style up-do, the makeup matching the era. She had called in a couple of favors and rented the local lodge for a quarter of the prize. Stuck in the middle of a  photo shoot. Doing my best to smile for her, Derrick and her pulled this wedding together in a week. He handled the catering while she managed everything else. Holding my bouquet of black roses in my hand, she fussed with the black pearl neckla...

A light in the Dark Part Four: The Hate Stains the Joy

Yvette Francaise

Lily: Cowering in the corner of my room, my hands matched the bloody hands that I had when I was seventeen. My faceless uncle held a glass bottle over his head, a searing pain throbbed in my head the moment he smashed it into my forehead. Touching my forehead, a piece of glass hung out of it. The room began to spin, his steel toed boots kicking me in the stomach repeatedly. Throwing a duffel bag over his shoulder, his greasy hands grabbed my hair. Dragging me to the door, the neighbors chose to do nothing as he kicked me onto the dirt. I did...

A Light in the Dark Part Three: The Storm Blows In

Yvette Francaise

Matty: Three girls were kicking a student, soft sobs catching my attention. Clearing my throat, they laughed cruelly in my direction. Getting back to kicking her, her hair floated up as a fist met the leader of the group. Crashing into the locker, a busted Lily struggled to her feet. Bruises covered her face, blood dripped from a cut on her lip. Picking up the lead bully by the collar of her designer t-shirt, her foot met her sunglasses. The plastic broke upon impact, the fifteen year old Lily tossed her to the side. Her black vintage dress ...

Tusks and Dagger Part Fifty-Two: The Ball of a Pleasant Memory

Yvette Francaise

Lottie: A white ball rolled to my boots, my body not  faring well from my childbirth a mere couple of months ago. Glancing around the silver city, everyone was slumbering underneath the twinkling stars and silver moon. Kicking it away, I didn’t want to be transported anywhere else tonight. The image of my boys drew me back, the sound of Darwin’s footsteps echoed behind me. Running past me, his hands scooped up the ball. A bright light blinded me, my hand grabbing his at the last minute. A rush of white energy whipped us into the fl...

A Light in the Dark Part Two: A Tainted Surprise

Yvette Francaise

Staring at the two lines, I buried my face into my palms. Two months could not have passed so quickly, dread bubbling in my gut. Throwing all the tests into the nearest trash can. Ignoring the crippling mental fear, a pale face stared back at me. A loud knock interrupted my train of thought, my friend calling for me to help him out in his restaurant. Fixing my borrowed uniform, the pants were already catching on my slight bump. Throwing myself in the chaos, Sarianna scooted up next to me. Her sleek chocolate bob emphasized her features, her ...

A Light in the Dark Part One: The Lost Child Finds Family

Yvette Francaise

Tires squealed as the metal crunched with every roll, a heavy rain soaking the road. The only thing I could hear was my heartbeat, my face dripping with slick sweat. Unbuckling my seat belt, I crashed to the roof. Pulling myself out, the wounds on my body were superficial. Sprinting to my father’s side, I began to tug on his limp arm. Tears welled up in my eyes, the drunk driver peeling away. Curse that bastard for changing my life in the worst way, intense pain wracking my body. “Get away, honey.” He groaned bitterly, ruby coating his t...

Tusks and Daggers Part Fifty-One: A Luna of a Night

Yvette Francaise

Luna: A depression came over me, my heart aching for a werewolf to shift with. Scanning the silver buildings, Lottie was off training the adults. The next battle always seemed around the corner. Pulling his hair into a ponytail, he began to cook our dinner. Mishal cooed in his pen as Darwin picked up on my sadness. Clearing his throat, he rose to his feet. Dusting off his emerald blouse, he wiped his hands on his pants.  “Can we go play, Dad?” He asked cautiously, his hands crossing. Pressing his lips into a thin line, he passed him a...

Tusks and Dagger Part Fifty: Pride Finds a Home

Yvette Francaise

A portal swirled to life in front of me, shadow hands yanked me in. Tommy latched onto my leg at the last minute, his claws sinking into my leg. Somata leapt through at the last minute, his body shielding me from the fall. Gritty sand crunched underneath our boots as we struggled to our feet. Dusting off the ivory blouse I had borrowed from Boran, Somata tossed me my scythe. A sea of cacti spread out like the sea, the needles shining in the desert sun.  “Where are we?” I groaned, tugging at the hem of my shirt. “At least you are dress...

Tusks and Daggers Part Forty-Nine: From Nightmares to Dreams

Yvette Francaise

Branches scratched my face, my boots crunching through loose dirt. Skidding to a stop, Cauchemar had launched an attack on me when I went on my walk. Smashing into me, his lips moved a mile a minute, the world shifting to a large cemetery. Fog curled off the wet black grass, his hands tying my hands behind my back. How the hell did he find me? Dragging me into the mausoleum, he tossed me down a curvy flight of stairs. Curling into a ball, rough marble smashed me around. Hearing the lock click shut sent chills down my spine, a low growl rumbl...

Tusks and Dagger Part Forty-Eight: A Mother Finds a Daughter

Yvette Francaise

The four of us were almost back to Silver City, the name being of the mysterious town that popped up. Rubbing my forehead, this migraine was going to be the death of me. The bushes snapped around us, Wrathia and Jester snapping into a defensive position. Ice and fire whistled by my head, two elves stepping out of the bushes. A fiery red haired woman ignored us, her golden robes fluttered in the hot air of her bright orange flames. Ruby eyes glared in the direction of the other elf, the male elf running his hand through the ice blue curls th...

Tusks and Daggers Part Forty-Seven: A Foul Trick and A New Friend

Yvette Francaise

Something had separated me from my companions, my boots echoing in what looked like an empty stadium from the history textbooks at home. Confetti dotted the floor, horror rounding my eyes. Clammy sweat drenched my skin, my heart seconds from beating out of my chest. The seats flipped up and down, Tommy and Sir. Acorn jumped onto my shoulder.  “We managed to jump through the hole in time.” Tommy purred in my ear, his tail curling around my neck. A cry for help rang out on the stage, our eyes narrowing in the direction of the sound. A c...

Tusks and Dagger Part Forty-Six: An Emerald in the Dark

Yvette Francaise

Chaos erupted outside my window, the townsfolk shoving a colorfully dressed man around. Grabbing my scythe, Boran glanced up from his book as I leapt out the window. Shoving my way through the crowd, everyone shooting daggers in my direction. Something felt off, my eyes falling on the paling face of a golden eyed individual. Fluffy navy hair fluttered in the wind, a haughty sneer curled on his lips. Cocking his head back, his colorful suit reminding me of a jester suit. The only thing missing was the matching hat with those damn bells, my gr...

Tusks and Daggers Forty-Five Part Forty-Five: A Diary Leads to A New Ally

Yvette Francaise

A leather book dropped onto my boots, my trembling fingers picking it up. Tracing the name Lord Lakmia, Lust picked me up from behind. My eyebrow twitched irritably, a snarl curling on my lips. Setting me down gingerly, she swiped the diary from me. Tapping the cover, a jolt of electricity shocked her finger.   “You seem to have come across my brother’s diary.” She mused playfully, dropping it into my palm. “You can use it to summon him and take him under your wing.” Rolling my eyes, Finapple played with Darwin and Luna by the fo...
