She whisked a strand of hair from her face as her eyes narrowed peeking through the crack of the door. Sarah silently watched, as Dia displayed how easily capable she was at taking down the demon. She played in her head, what Steve had told her about the demon placing Dia under a spell, but that couldn't be further from the truth. She could almost feel sorry that she couldn't use magic, but she felt more unsettled and mor...

The television buzzed in the background flipping through various channels before just landing on some movie no one cared to pay attention to. Dia busied herself on her laptop hacking into the wifi and investigating all the residents in the housing complex and the one next door. She clearly paid no mind to the boys who were scattered about the room each keeping to their own thoughts. The silence disturbed Fatima immensely...

Dark watched the sky turn from the endless black to grey and then soft hues of pink and orange, as he walked down the empty streets of the city. Occasionally, he would pass a vagabond or two muttering nonsense to themselves. These mortals not only disgusted him, but a few managed to unnerve him slightly, one dirty old lady looked to be an old gypsy. She took one look at him and kept repeating, "Wings drip red." He made hi...

When I look in the mirror what do I see...A face of ugliness, a freak staring back at me...I ain't pretty, or handsome, or anything special to look at...I hide away my face, my body because I look like that...When I look at myself, I see what you all see...A freak of nature, unlike the perfection I should be...God made me different, for people to laugh and stare...As some look at me, as a monster who will scare...The good...

Chapter 1: Creatures of Lore"One day you too will take your place as the elite of our keepers. One day, I will not be here, and you will have to take my place," Gyais smiled down at the small child that stood before him, hopping from one foot to the other uneasily. The child hid its eyes behind tiny hands that could barely hold a weapon. It had just been chosen from a handful of creatures to one day watch over Karmathor a...

Fatima snapped her head up. The intense focus on her craft blurred her eyesight. With aching fingers, she flexed and shook out her wrists to prevent cramping and any of her knuckles from locking. She pulled off her headphones and heard nothing. She rose from the chair and double-checked that nothing she did so far would be undone. With a quick glance at the clock, she noted two hours had passed.  The room was silent and s...

Chris waited patiently outside the door, well trying to be patient. He tried to listen in on what was being said, but couldn't over the sound the others were making. Tommy and Jacob still argued over the TV while Steve played devil's advocate and added fuel to that fire. Andrew started to get annoyed with the bickering and tried to move away from them but only caused Leonard to harass him further. Chris didn't even bother...

Fatima unlocked the door to her apartment complex, after having to catch two metro trains and a twenty-minute walk. She just wanted a hot shower and a good morning meal. She silently shut the door behind her and tiptoed to her room, peeking into each one to make sure the room was completely still. She snuck into her room, flopped onto her bed and pretended she was there the whole time.Five minutes later, the light flicked...

Dia jolted awake as a blood-curdling scream echoed through the house. Her immediate reaction was the boys didn't listen and decided to screw with Fatima. She bolted from her bed and threw the door open. She rushed into the main room to see Fatima holding a pocket knife chasing one of the boys. His green eyes were wide from shock and Dia only saw his sandy brown hair blur by. She took a moment to adjust to the situation, a...

Unlikely friends as they might be, a delightful light-hearted story was always how it started. The dark haired beauty Dia and the cute blonde Fatima, in what might seem to them a mere coincidence that they happened to meet in that bar that day. They would soon realize the game and their lives were about to take an extraordinary twist.Fatima downed a rather large glass of alcohol and slammed the empty glass down where it j...

I wonder whatYour home is likeUp there in the starsWith the other angelsLike yourself. Watching you rushAcross the sky,With your love trailingBehind you so lovingly,Wondering how sweet you look,So innocentSo pure of heartSo... deliciousIn so many ways than one. I reach up to youMaking a sweet wish,As you shoot bySweet Star angel,Wishing you can findLove,Friendship,And a place to rest and call your own.

Broken smile, frozen tears. What's left of the lost angel, Besides darkened doubts and fears. Hands tremble, eyes wide. Helpless as her wings were stripped. Bound and chained, sadness flooded her heart. Dead inside, puppet held by string. She'd never see the sun again. With heavy heart her dreams were crushed. Tattered clothes, heart in shards. Slowly, her mind rotted from within. She lost her mind to darkness. A lost cau...

I was only six years old,By now I'd be eleven,But I got very sick,Now I live in Heaven.I watch over my sisters,And my little brother,I watch that sickness kill,One child after another.Since I have been gone,My Mom and Daddy weep.It's okay Dad, I'm in Heaven,At peace and eternal sleep,I'm a little Angel Daddy,You called me that every day.I sure do miss you guys,In every single way.

I am the Angel of Destruction. People don't like me, And with good reason, I mean, Who can blame them, When I take lives with the swipe of my hand? People have different names for me, Death, though they're wrong, Death just travels with me, My close companion, Though we're both just as bad as each other. People try to keep me at bay, With their smudge sticks, Keep the spirits away, Nothing stops destruction though, Disast...

He must have been an angel,He wasn't really there,Riding in that ambulance,I wasn't even scared,You're going to be okay,There's nothing to fear,You're not needed in heaven yet,God still needs you here,I knew you would need me,That's why I was here,Your grandma says to tell you hi,And she'll see you when your time's there.
