I had lost myself in the art again.It felt good, really good.I felt myself smile at times as the brush caressed the easel.This was the life, this moment right here.Art had been another way to speak without words, an expression of the voiceless.I was young when art found me and I never looked anywhere else again. Uncle Johnathan had encouraged me the most, to treasure the love I have for the art.' I believe it's something you were born with, an inheritance possibly.' I'd caught on to those words.Now that they replay in mind, I wonder whether one of my parents was possibly an artist.And if so, I wonder what kind of artist they were.What was their story?After that horrific night, I stopped touching the paint brush.My vision centred around the attack and that deprived me in some sense. Fear had prevented me from doing most things and I felt drained. The journey to the now wasn't easy because all around me, darkened.Without an inch of light.In this moment, I feel light. I ha
'Little moon.' My eyes shot open as the name rang in mind, reminding me of what happened minutes ago. That name had been what I woke up to, its echo falling into the back of my mind like a background song in a car. Soft but firm and demanding for me to listen. My mind had been quick to scroll through the hidden parts of my brain, selecting a memory from my child hood. I'd heard this name a couple of times then, through dreams and I've recorded down what I could remember about it. Till today, I can't tell what it meant. This call. It felt like a summon at some point but then, what would it be for? I woke up all sweaty but on the floor. I noticed this when my body muscles felt uncomfortable. 'What is going on with me?' I have asked this more times than possible and instead of it annoying me, I felt chills run through parts of my back. It couldn't be happening again. No, not again. 'It was just a dream.' I try to convince myself. I didn't sleep well. 'What made you sleep on
The moon shined brighter than ever at that time of night. Ever since young, Serena had loved watching the moon, surrounded by the millions of stars as if they were a community. As she grew up, the love didn't waver but the attention she gave, was never enough anymore. She felt this way. She had aged, with time either being merciful or harsh with life experiences she went through along the way. Reality felt like a dream while a dream seemed more like a fantasy. In the present now, chance had introduced itself again and Choice, became a thing of the past. The past. It had all fused itself into her present and what a harsh thing, to now call her reality. Each time she visited that secret place, she was reminded of the past she ran away from. She shouldn't have ran away but she did, because she was a coward then. Silence at the time had been her worst move and now she paid the price. Everyday, she was reminded of her biggest betrayal yet. Her silence had been the cause, all
It's in the early evening, I do my homework. I was exhausted, so I took a nap. It was needed. It was good and I enjoyed it. Homework? Not so much. I'm mindlessly biting on my ballpen, doing math equations in my head when I hear it. Her footsteps. A single knock on my door, then she peeks her head in, already announcing that she's here. " Hey Sweetheart." The smile she wears on her face doesn't reach her eyes. Tired eyes. " Hi Mom. Busy day?" She's come home later than usual. I know that it's still early to comment about this, considering the fact that it hasn't been long since she's been working there. " Yes." She nods. " How was school?" She opens the door a little wider, giving herself more room. I shrug, " school is school." She shoots me with a look. " That's not really an answer, but I'll let it be." " School and I have a complicated relationship." I say, my tone light. She chuckles as she heads out. I turn back to my books, letting out a sigh at the amount o
The time I have dreaded so far, has arrived. Attending a new school. I woke up a little earlier this morning, thinking about how today may turn out. I cringed a little at the thought of standing infront of other students, doing introductions. It's all awkward, that's all. You just never know what to say, even when the teacher doesn't make you say alot of things. You find yourself overthink about how other students may perceive you, the minute you stand infront of them. It may sound silly, but it always sticks like a sore thumb, the whole ' May they never find me weird,' thing. As I stare myself in the mirror, I shove an unwanted childhood memory to the back of my mind, not wanting it to ruin my morning. It's when some kids were quite mean towards me, just because I was quiet. I never blended in well with them and I didn't feel like putting in the effort, especially when they did things I didn't want to do. " It'll go well." I mumble to myself, patting down invincible crease
THE LAND OF THE MOONSHADE PACK..... An end to a long day was something Alpha Tristan had been looking forward to. He'd been caught up with more work than usual these past few weeks , not to mention the rumour of a strange occurrence in town recently. He had not given too much attention to it, rumours being the least of his worries. They never were meant to be given attention, especially his. He'd ignored it until he couldn't, not when even his mate assigned herself to mention it to him. He pushed his long brown leather chair back from his desk, closing his eyes and tilting his head back. He rubbed at his temple, feeling the exhaustion of the day catching up with him. Time seemed to slow down within the silence in the office. For a moment, it was just him and his thoughts, with the addition of his wolf who made his request known. No, more like a demand. His wolf wanted to be set free. ' We'll run.' The alpha made his promise. He could also agree that he needed it too. To be
