Moons
Everyone is a moon and has a dark side. Which he never shows to anybody...
~Mark Twain
Reed woke up with a startled gasp. She was sitting upright in her bed, wondering for a moment what woke her up. She heard noises coming from downstairs. Also, the faint breathing of Mason as he lay on his back. She looked down at him and saw the spot she had been a few moments before. His hand was still there as if her head was there underneath it.
“Mason.” She said softly.
“Hmmm.” He murmured back. The next time she shoved his slightly, “Mason!”
“What?” he said as he opened his eyes and saw her sitting there. It took him a moment to realize he was in her bed and not his own, and the simple fact what
ChoicesNot all storms come to disrupt your life. Some come to clear the path….~unknownMason pulled Reed closer to him as the other men looked at the pair. Mason didn’t care about his lack of clothing or the fact they were the center of attention. He didn’t have to much time to process that he had just had sex with the woman he wanted the most in the world, let alone that now it seemed he had bigger problems than just the issues at the lake. Someone was trying to take what was his. That wasn’t going to work out well for the mole person.“I guess we need to call in one of the dogs to see where this tunnel goes.” One of the detectives said. “Amber
DecisionsWhen you can’t look on the bright side, I will sit with you in the dark.~UnknownReed looked at Mason as the entire group was watching them as they talked. When the two finally came back to the group as they waited for the dog to arrive on the scene, she was slightly calmer. Mason, for his part, didn’t look thrilled with any part of this. It wasn’t supposed to happen this way. Nothing was supposed to happen this way. He wasn’t supposed to be there. He knew that. Even though the car was different in the driveway, the person still felt it was okay to try and get into the house.If Reed had been alone, there is no telling what would have happened. Mason felt her hand in his and knew he was glad he was there. He got a look at the person. It was so odd to him to
FateIt may be unfair, but what happens in a few days, even a single day, can change the course of a whole lifetime….~Khalid HosseiniReed 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
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 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
