The Princess

"And you did what?" Mother asks me calmly.She's never calm."I left the North Palace, and walked into the courtyard," I mutter."Louder, Zilla, I cannot hear you.""I left the North palace and walked into the courtyard!" I nearly shout. "Was that loud enough, Mother?""As the heir, you should not be so rude to your mother! What did your father and I tell you about leaving the North palace?""It's dangerous because I'm the heir and I shouldn't be doing rash things like that." I drone. "I could get ambushed because the courtyard has fewer guards th...

Left to 'our own' Devices

"Hey!" Lizzie shouts at me. "You're supposed to be looking after that thing!" She frantically points in the direction of the weird thing that showed up in the living room this morning. "We need to see what this thing is first, Liz before we make shifts to look after it." "You're not getting my point!" Standing at 4 feet 11 inches, Liz sure had a loud voice. Where all that loud was stored, I didn't know, but it came in handy sometimes. "What is your point? This thing shows up, looking like a shiny bucket with a lid, and you think it’s somethi...

The Voice

Ever since Jay died, there it was. The Voice. It was always there, making me feel as though everything that went wrong was my fault. It never left. Jay saved my life and lost his in return. It was the worst thing that could have ever happened to me. "Robin!" Mom shouts in the morning. "You're going to be late for school again!""Whatever," I think to myself.Nowadays there were hardly any words that came out of my mouth that weren't 'I'm fine,' or 'okay,'.I walk out of my room, dressed in my usual black sweatpants and hoodie, with my hair hang...

Academy of Abilities: Chapter 1

By the time I stepped outside, the leaves were on fire.Amanda's at it again. Practicing Pyrokinesis on school grounds, near the dorms no less. As I walk towards Amanda, she spots me and runs in my direction."Hey, CJ, could you do me a small favor? Can you put the fire out?I sigh. "Amanda, you know that I'm not always going to be there to fix your mistakes. How did the fire get this big, anyway?""Well, I kinda got carried away... and accidentally spread my small candle flame to this," she gestures at the trees, "a roaring Inferno." Amanda loo...

The Gift

Weekly Contest #62

My day started as usual. I woke up, took a shower, and got ready for school. And as usual, I was five minutes late for class. As I walked into class, the professor looks in my direction. "Glad you could join us, Serena." She makes eye contact. "Well? Are you just going to stand there?" "Apologies Professor, I'll take my seat." "Thank you. As I was saying, if you want to write a good article in this Journalism course, you better pay attention." She kept going with the lesson, but my mind spaced out, thinking I remember this... But that was ...

Memories

Weekly Contest #61

I remember the color of that candle. I remember the color of her eyes, and the way she smiled. I walked into the gift shop at the beach, and instantly smelled the same scent as the first day I met her. I was taken into a memory I had long buried.Four years ago-The shop was small, and there were hardly any people there. What more could I expect from a small candle shop, squished between two bigger company buildings? I looked around and thought,"what is there that I could get for her? there should be something..."Soon after, I was standing ove...
