 Finally, the sounds of the chase had faded away for awhile now, and he could no longer sense the presence of his pursuers.  The poor steeds, hauling the bouncing carriage along the seldom used road were tiring, their sides heaving since he had pushed them hard the entire way. But now, he finally could allow himself a moment to slow down and allow the horses to slow into more of a canter. Surrounded by nature on each side, the only sound really heard was that of the wildlife and the crunch of the wheels rolling over the dirt and rocks. Smirking to himself, the man turned to look behind him at the small package that was securely bundled up i

Chapter 4- Through The Red Tape The annoying sound of my alarm invaded my dreams, pulling me out of my slumber to face the new day.  Although the urge to turn off my alarm and go back to sleep in my warm and cozy bed was strong, I resisted it.  Instead I grumbled grudgingly and fumbled for the button to turn it off, pushing my eyelids open to take in my room.  Liz and I shared a modest apartment, a nice two bedroom condo with decently sized rooms.  Mine was technically fairly neat, yet at the same time looked messy due to the piles of papers and books that were stacked wherever they could be.  The walls were covered in pictures of the occul

Chapter 1: Dawn of Awakening Blood Maela felt so alone, as she sat in her room.  The light of the day had completely gone, and now the darkness closed in on her, as it almost felt like tangible fingers grasping at her.  A heavy sigh left her lips as she lifted her head and gazed around the room, her soft blue eyes alighting upon each thing individually as she took them in.  It was a sparse room, but she liked it the way it was with her dresser that housed her clothing and with a small jewellry box on top of it, as well as her brush and a few other items.  Her shelf that held her books, and a few trinkets that she had bought at market when s

 The story begins about 25 years ago in the small town of Fyksin, not so small that everyone knew each other, but neither was it big enough to be given much thought.  That's partially why it was chosen.  Another reason had been that the people who ran the medical center were greedy enough to accept the offer.  Perhaps it was due to a lack of creativity or that it was the main medical facility aside from the Hospital, but either way it was called the Center, where it all started. The government had new medical drugs they wanted to test and see how they worked out.  Now the reason they chose a town that

"How old's that one?" The security guard asked the white-haired doctor accompanying himself down to that very cell. "Only about 16, poor girl, " He answered with sympathy, moving his glasses up on his beaked nose. "Been here only a day, too."  The guard shook his head sady as they continued down the hall. "It's obvious why she ended up in an insane asylum though." "Mhmm," The doctor mumbled as he checked the chart.  The teen-aged girl had for s

Sitting on the big four poster bed that had silk curtains that draped downwards to slightly shield the collection of teddy bears and other stuffed toys, was an open trunk that already had some clothing in it.  Walking back and forth from the trunk to a chest of drawers would be what appeared to be a servant, a modest woman in a nice and neat uniform appearing dress.  What she was doing was moving clothes and some more personal effects to the trunk, packing it expertly.  She was also good at her job, not disturbed when the sound of a foot that slammed down onto the ground, and the whining that followed. "But why do I have to go? I don't want

Tigerkytti Eltiri Almost the End As they chased each other around the tree, the little girl and boy laughed, enjoying the beautiful shining sun and the fresh breeze flowing through the green leaves.  They ran farther into the forest, darting in and out of the trunks, taking turns leading the way. Eventually they noticed that the sun was setting and began to make their way back to the village.  Once they were near however they became aware of the silence, deep, dark silence in the trees around them. Both of them, worried, clinged to each other as they got closer and closer to the village, and suddenly they heard a battle

                                       Chapter 1- An Unlikely Assassin Her blade slid out of his slumped over body easily, causing  a small amount of the remaining blood to spill out.  With a soft sigh she bent over and wiped the stains from her sword on the dead mans clothes.  Another job done, another late night, but certainly more money.  These jobs paid well and would make sure she wouldn't run out of money to live off when she could no longer work.  Suddenly, from another room a candle was lit as the guard came down the previously unlit hallway, his heavy footsteps marking his progress. She sheathed her blade in it's dark sheath, and we

Time flows with such indifference, Each tick of the clock moving on mercilessly, And yet varying on how quickly it goes by. Some times it moves blessedly fast, Life passing with nary a thought to now, And yet more often than not, It crawls by so achingly slow. Moment by moment passes, Making the pain inescapable, As you suffer what seems endlessly. Left wishing for rare moments of joy to be frozen, To never have to leave them behind, Wishing for a future that is worth waiting for, Worth experiencing the pain of now.
