Just under the Surface: Fate
Fate
It may be unfair, but what happens in a few days, even a single day, can change the course of a whole lifetime….
~Khalid Hosseini
Reed stood in her front yard again, with the dog now rooting around her property. It was alerting too many different places, and everyone seemed a little confused. She just knew. She was shaking her head when the hands on her shoulders just pulled her a little closer to him. She looked up to see his face as he watched the dog alert to yet another spot.
“This has been going on for a while,” Mason said softly as he too was feeling the confusion as to why the dog was alerting everywhere in her yard. Even the handler was a little confused.
When she spoke, everyone heard her clearly in the stillness of the night. “Who knows how lon

EvolveWe are not meant to stay the same. Change is good.~unknown“He is what?” Mason asked as he moved her away from the man standing there.“He was always around my uncle. He kind of adopted him in a way. I don’t think he had anyone else.” Reed said, shaking her head. She looked over tot eh man standing there and knew he was not the mastermind behind the lake. “Luke isn’t the killer despite what he said. He isn’t all there mentally, and he was given small tasks around my uncle’s place for his room and board. I barely remember him, though. My dad and uncle had a falling out when I was really young. To be honest, I forgot the man was still in the area.”“What was the falling out about?” Mason asked.“I have no idea,

MemoriesIsn’t it funny how, day by day, nothing changes, but when you look back, everything is different.~C.S. LewisReed was lost in her own thoughts as he drove. She wasn’t even paying attention to where they were. When she looked outside again and saw the trees whirl by, she was slightly surprised. He didn’t seem the type to live out in the wilderness. He was more a city boy or at least a townie.She looked at him again and wondered if the playful flirting at the scenes over the years was his way of actually trying to work up the nerve to ask her out. If he had, she didn’t know what she would have said. This night for all its twists and turns, she had to wonder at that one.Reed was not the type t

Guiding LightIf you ever find your self wrapped in darkness, it can show you truly what you're made of, but if you need a light to guide you, I will be that light to show you that you can and will survive.~KodiieReed looked at Mason, who was staring at her in the near darkness. He just waited as he rubbed her back. He knew she would finally say something when she could.“My uncle’s son.” She said as she looked at him looking at her, “He was the reason behind the fight. He hurt me really bad.” Reed held up her arm, and he could see the scars there. His fingers found them and traced them gently.“How did you get them?” he asked softly.“Tim,” Reed said as she looked at him. “I was working on th
The Songbird Shattered Bones
Chapter 1In the world that she was supposedly born into, somehow she knew she was different. She could see the world change before her eyes, and it seemed no one else could actually see the changes. Colors were brighter to her, sometimes overwhelming in their brilliance. The colors could easily overwhelm all her senses. They often did. Her parents and doctors said she was different, but they had no idea why or how to fix her. Nothing about it bothered her personally except at sunset.Sunset was different. She could be calm all day except when the colors started to change. She had one of two reactions. If the colors were light such as a vibrant pink or lavender, she would find a peaceful calm surrounding her. If the colors were red or orange very much the colors of a firestorm, she woul
The Songbird Shattered Bones 2
The tiny girl went through her day at school with the idea of something bigger was happening. She went into the English class which was one of her favorites not for the content but that for the teacher. He seemed to be the most open-minded person she had ever met. She loved their conversations because he never talked down to her or said her ideas were dumb. He seemed to accept them for what they were as they appeared entirely normal for her to say. She waited after class to talk with him knowing he didn’t have a lesson in the next block and neither did she. If there was one person in her life, who would tell her the truth it was him.“Howie, I have a few questions.” she said as the other students filed out of the class and he raised his eyebrows at her still in her seat. “Do you have some time?”“Shoot Kid.” he responded e

The cave was cooler than the palin as the slight draft moved the air around them. It wasn’t like the ones she had seen the day before that they were sitting in discussing her. This was different and though it should have been dark around them there was a light source that she couldn’t see. She could see that the the man standing next to her had eased a bit. He seemed more relaxed and comfortable not where they had been. That made her feel the same. Though she still had no idea where they were.“What the hell?” she exclaimed.“Close but this isn’t exactly home.” he replied as he moved a step away from her.“Where are we?” she asked.“Your so-called mother only opened a gateway for the Angels to have access to you. I took you off that plane to another.” he said with a shrug.“Traveling between planes with a guy I don’t

Her nightmares were getting worse the longer she stayed away from the plane to which the angels had brought her too. She awoke in her room gasping for air as she struggled to remember all she had just seen. It was two days from her birthday, and it was getting harder for her to keep her mind straight and focused on anything. She was now living in fear not of the sunset but of her dreams. She wanted to see Mitsuhide but was afraid to go to that plane again because of everything she had seen in her dreams. She touched her necklace and looked to the sky as sleep took over again.Waiting for a sign that he knew. She needed him now. She needed something to keep her mind straight. Princess knew that was only something the only person who had not used her for something else could do. Mitsuhide was that person.
The Songbird Shattered Bones 5
When she woke up the next morning, she was surprised to see that they were in a small shelter like a grassy hut of some sort. The fire she had woke up to was dying in the middle of the room, and the soft folds of a cushion were against her side. She wondered how he moved her without waking her. She was warm and comfortable just breathing for a moment to relax her senses. She focused on one thing and sent her extra emotions off. She felt a slight movement at the warm lump that was keeping her back warm. She then heard a slight muffled chuckle.“You are getting good at that.” A deeper voice that was husky with the sounds of sleep rolled over her. She could actually feel the tremors his voice caused throughout her body as he spoke being pressed up against her.“I have been practicing.” she murmured as she snuggled somewhat bac
