'Three' Snapshot

*Author's Note: This story takes place after the novel I'm trying to write, this is just me messing around with the characters and trying to sort them out. Please tell me if there is anything you would like to suggest about the characters; this story's plot is not particularly important. Thanks a lot, Annie.*“What the-” I exclaimed, my eyes widening in shock. “Is that what I think it is?” I said to myself, squinting at the screen in front of me.“It can’t be.” I whispered reverently. I grabbed the holoscreen and rushed out of the little stora...

Super Conflicted

An explosion rocked the ground beneath my feet, causing the pencil stand on my desk to wobble and fall over. I sighed, looking out the window and seeing a giant robot crash through Main Street. That was only two streets across from the one my little dorm was on, giving me, and the rest of the Team a clear view of any supervillains that try to destroy our city. For some reason. No one really knows why there are just, like, two cities in a country that supervillains try and claim for themselves. I think it’s because those two cities usual...

Agent L

(Warning: Sex references, boy humour, a teensy bit of blood, a tiny bit of drugs and weaponry) “A fox?!” I yelled, slamming my paw onto the table. “A FOX, M. We are called PREY for a reason; Predatory Restriction and Elimination for the Yarak. Ok, I’m not entirely sure what the Y means or why we chose that word for it, but it’s our job to keep the predators in order, not them keep us in order.” The Shetland across the table from me shook her head. “Look, Lincoln, I understand your trepidation working with a fox, seeing as it might not seem ...

Super Different

“Queen Scaaphroi, I am here to give my resignation notice. I no longer want to lead teams to destroy planets that we have no right to destroy or dominate. Consider this my formal retirement from the Screallek people.” The Queen frowned, her sideways-blinking eyes staring at me intently.“But Hazai, this is all very sudden. Why would you even consider leaving our people? We practically dominate most of the galaxy on this side of the Milky Way. I thought you loved leading the squads?” I shook my head, my head tentacles moving slightly with the ...

Paracelsus Problems

I knew this would be another mistake as soon as he walked in and immediately caught my eye. Almost as if he knew who I was, where I was and why I was there. I shifted uncomfortably, hoping the person I was serving would hurry up. His eyes were still on me as I walked away with table three’s order and disappeared into the kitchen. I took a deep breath, told Mother table three’s order, and then helped my older brother carry in the wood he and Father had just cut. It was for the oven since we’d burnt all the wood from yesterday. We’d been ...

The Magical Map of Marge

Before we begin, I want to set some things straight.This is NOT my story, it’s HER’S. She gave me no choice in what happened and instead told me how it was going to go. Then she made everything worse. Infinitely worse. Like fire-breathing dragons and man-eating trees. Yes, trees. That’s what I thought as well, but trust me, you do NOT want to get involved in a philosophical argument with a tree that wants to eat you.Are you done now Hank?Oh. Yes, sorry, Annie. I’ll let you tell them about the time you ruined my life.Don’t be so dramatic. If ...

The Object of Joy

The first day of the rest of my life started out the same as any other. I sat obediently where my carers had told me to sit, trying to stay still. The HE came in. The boy that would change my life. It started out like any other interaction, the boy said he wanted to take me home, but his mother said no. But the boy came back and asked again saying he needed me. And I knew that I needed him. Finally, the mother said yes. The boy took me home and we played together, bouncing around his room. Eventually, his mother came in and said we had ...

Dragon Diaries: Freedom?

“Mum, can I see the letter from Aunty Leiah again?” I asked as I approached the huge, lean, figure at the helm of our slightly battered boat. “Hmm?” She said, turning around and giving me that absent stare she used a lot lately. “Oh, right the letter. Where did I put it? Oh, probably on my desk. Don’t go snooping, you know I have my ways of knowing. Run along now, Penathea, I’ve got things to consider.” She turned back to the grey ocean, watching as it tossed and shoved the small boat slowly towards the small, dark, lump that was supposedly ...

The Light (A sequel to The Flame)

I came out of the little white room a bit shaken. I still felt wet, but I knew it was only an illusion. The water had looked so beautiful though, all sparkly and flowing. I was ushered around the side of the stage and up the stairs, finally stopping beside Hillary, my twin. She was really hot when I leaned towards her to whisper in her ear. Like REALLY hot. I could feel the heat coming off of her in waves and it was so intense it was making ME sweat. Yet she looked perfectly dry and chill, if that’s a word that can be related to a furnace of...

Dragon Diaries: Galactic Problems

“Hey, Galactic! Can you help me with something?” Unicorn called out from her room. Ugh, not again. “Coming!” I called back. She was always looking for new ways of making herself prettier or better-liked. I slowly made my way to Unicorn’s big room. “Yeah? What do you want?” I asked when I walked into her… well, en suite is the only way to describe it. It was frilly and huge. The walls had sparkly gold wallpaper, and the artwork around the room depicted different glittering angels in different poses. Every surface had some sort ...

The Starlight Cup: Regionals

Takari zoomed across the finish line, just in front of me and Jane. She swivelled her board around to slow it and smirked at me. “And that’s how it’s done, Nebue,” she said, as I stepped off my board. I teleported so I was right next to her and she fell off her Galaxydrive in shock. “What? But- how?” She sputtered, getting up. “It’s called teleporting, Stargirl. Some of us can do more important things than racing.” “You can’t think a little party trick is more important than racing, can you?” She wiggled her fingers at me and the next thing ...

Just Touched

I crumpled to the floor, panting. I closed my eyes and tried to get my breathing and heartbeat back to a normal pace. Someone poked me in the side. I felt a little zip of electricity go through my body, but then it was gone. I cracked one eye open and saw Astra’s bright blue hair floating around my head.“So, it didn’t go well?” She asked, pulling her hair away from my face and tying it back with a strip of leather. I closed my eye and sat up.“No, it didn’t go well.” I sighed and rubbed my face, opening my eyes to stand up. Astra offered me h...

Halos and High-tops

 I was out on a run with my friend, Rob. I was listening to my playlist through my AirPods and he was just running, a look of concentration on his already red face. We were just passing the halfway point of our run when I suddenly heard a noise in an alley. I paused my music and tapped Rob to get his attention.“Hey, man, did you hear that? It sounded like something heavy fell in that alley. We should go check it out.” Rob shook his head.“Nah, I didn’t hear anything. You can check if you want, but I’ve got to be home soon, so catch up, o...

The Starlight Cup: The Qualifier

Luminaria was usually beautiful in the Light months. Everything sparkled and shone, even the people. My people. But not this Stel. No, this month everything was a burnt colour, the air hot and dry, a shocking change from the mild humidity we were all used to.  I sighed, my throat already dry and scratchy. I stroked the tree I was sitting in gently, hearing and feeling its unhappy vibrations. Sometimes it sounded as if the plants were squealing, they would vibrate so fast. But that was new as well. Usually, plants of all kinds had low an...

The Flame

(As a little heads up, Cari is pronounced Carry) Today is the day. That was the first thought I had when I woke up on Manifestation Day. I was FINALLY going to find out what was in store for me; what my future was going to be. I can only imagine what Cari’s feeling. She’s always the very excitable one, always looking out for the next party or holiday. And today is a BIG holiday.  I got up, and in the dim light got dressed in my favourite clothes: a soft, stretchy, dark pink shirt that said ‘This is it, get used to it!’ in a funky ...
