I had a friend once, in middle school. It didn't last long however because we moved shortly after the friendship began, since then I've just decided to not make friends. It was easier that way. I stared down at my fingers hooked around that of the cheerleader who called herself Frost and I wondered...did somebody hit me on the head.
"We're going to have so much fun," she squealed, leading me towards the parking lot of White Lake. The game ended a couple minutes ago and Black Pond was the victor, no surprise there.Honestly, I don't even know why they try. They didn't even score.Frost pulled me towards a really nice car. I didn't really know much about vehicles but it looked like a Porsche. I tugged on Frost's hand pulling her to a stop at the sound of hushed masculine voices. She folded her arms and walked around the car towards them. I followed sheepishly.One of the guys was the light skin green eyed guy that I had bumped into earlier and the other was a few inches shorter, skin and bones, pale skin and dark eyes. He gave me a bad vibe. Needless to say, I didn't like him and that's a lot seeing that I didn't know him."We're done, why can't you get that through your skull," the one I like said, his beautiful face smeared with anger."That's just your dad talking," the other guy said in denial.Frost cleared her throat. Oh shit, was he her boyfriend. No!"I think you should leave, Michael," she said, her voice sending chills down my spine.He hissed at her but suddenly stopped as his eyes flickered to my 'are you insane' expression. With one last glance at the nice guy, he left. 2 sets of eyes turned towards me."Did he just hiss at you," I asked bewildered.Frost glanced at her friend and then shrugged. "Psycho," she commented and then began guiding me towards the passenger seat of the car. We got in and they began taking me to their diner. I had considered the fact that this was a bad idea, so I took a couple pictures.The drive to the diner was surprisingly short."Henry, can we talk for a minute," Frost asked, staring him down. I took the message quite clearly and shuffled closer to the passenger door. "Kelly, would you mind waiting inside,x she asked sweetly."No problem," I said, getting out of the car immediately after it parked. I spotted the diner, a few feet away from where the car had parked. I started walking in that direction, sparing a glance in the direction of the car. I turned around and suddenly felt my right shoulder being forcefully pushed back. I brought my right foot back to steady myself and glared at the person who just walked right into me."Watch it punk," the stupid guy said, eyeing me up and down.I clenched my jaw feeling objectified. "Maybe you should have been paying attention to where you were going instead of staring at your phone," I snapped. My eyes fell to his phone screen which was way too bright and saw the word 'Dimples'.I chuckled, " oh, I'm sorry suddenly the prick demeanour makes sense. You've become the baseless, disrespectful, scumbag who you watch on social media," I said."Congratu-f-ing-lations, mister," I said, moving my hand frantically, accidentally hitting his phone from his hands."My mom's a lawyer," I quickly said before dashing into the diner.I pause at the door, suddenly getting a few odd looks. I fluffed my dark curly hair and found an empty booth near the back of the diner.I was losing my mind. What was up with my random bursts of anger. I was never like this last term. Then again last term, I never had Dimples to subtly and unknowingly ruin my life. Posting up on his socials and tagging my alter ego. She was perfect. I didn't want anything sabotaging that. She was my escape."I need a drink," I muttered incoherently and in Spanish."Ugh, can I get you anything," a smooth voice asked."Vodka would be nice," I answered honestly, staring through the stained glass. I turned to glance at my waiter and forgot what existence was. It was confirmed all the boys in Black Pond were drinking something that other boys weren't aware of. What did Stiles used to say...once a coincidence, two is an incident and three is a pattern."I didn't know that green eyes were so common here," I stated softly.The gentleman with the beautiful eyes chuckled and shook his head."I didn't either. Aren't you a little too young to be drinking," he asked, crossing his arms causing them to look bigger. The corners of his lip twitched."I don't know, how old were you when you first started," I retorted, staring at him. Who am I? A deep chuckle left his lips and he straightened."OK, fair enough, now would you like to order something," he said a little serious this time."Yes," I replied. I was so tempted to hit him with a 'Si, papí' but this was a public, family friendly dinner. I picked up the menu and pretended to go through it. I hummed softly then smiled."I would like a milkshake de chocolate, fries and a beer," I ordered with a straight face, drawing out the words slowly.The hot waiter shook his head and walked away. Don't you dare look at that ass, Bella. I smiled and glanced away. It was really hard not to look, like, of any gender."Hi," a voice said and Frost appeared in front of me. Yes, for a second. I had forgotten that I was invited and not here on my own. I think it was rude that I ordered without them.An arm suddenly appeared around my shoulder. I glanced at the owner and my eyes met the green ones of a guy. I shuffled over in the booth. More students from Black Pond had arrived. I met a couple curious stares as they walked by.Frost sat across from me with Henry right beside her. I desperately wished that we could switch seats, not that her brother wasn't hot or anything. It's just that he was a jock and a playboy."Oh, yeah Kelly, Brice. Brice, Kelly," Frost introduced pointing from me to her brother and back."Hi," he said with a breathtaking smile. Die, temptation, die!"Hi," I replied timidly."This is Henry, my bestie," she said, hugging my heart stopper."Nice to meet you," he said politely, extending his arm towards me.I had never been more excited in my life. Our fingertips touched and I swore I felt a spark of electricity. It was like the world faded from view and it was just the two of us left in the world."Cute." Brice commented bitterly. "Hey, dude how'd it go with Michael," he added, completely ruining the moment.Frost rolled her eyes and opened the menu. Henry clenched his jaw and released my hand, glaring at Brice."I ordered fries and a milkshake for myself," I told her quietly. She just shrugged."I'm on a diet and these idiots don't mind eating, they'll just stare into each other's eyes for infinity," she said.I smiled at her joke."I didn't know you visited this part of town," she said, staring at me confused.My waiter came back and placed my chocolate milkshake and fries onto the table. I pulled the milkshake towards me. He glanced at Brice, Frost and Henry. They all started, I mean glared at him. There seemed to be some kind of tension and history between them."Christopher," Brice said with venom at the tip of his tongue."Brice," Christopher called back with the same sincerity.I began to question if this was the right crowd for me. If they were what I wanted my first friends in this new town to be. I took a sip of my milkshake to taste that chocolate wonder that would set my bones at ease. Also it's a bad idea to laugh into her drink, especially a short sudden one. I immediately grabbed my napkin."I'm sorry. I saw something fun," or should I have said tasted.The waiter bit his pink lips, trying to hide his smile. He added a special touch to my drink that I appreciated, hopefully it wasn't too much because my mom was in town for the weekend. He cleared his throat and turned to the others."Your usual," he asked in his serious tone. Frost was about to say something but Brice spoke before her."No, we're fine," he said tensely. Christopher nodded and turned to leave."Thank you," I called after him."So, Henry is throwing a huge party on Friday and everyone is invited. Including you," she announced."Oh, okay. I'd have to ask my mom first. She usually has the whole weekend planned out for us when she visits," I explained. I didn't really know why."You don't live with your mom," Henry asked leaning forward."Yes but she works in the city. So we only spend time together on her day offs and weekends. We live with my aunt," I explained to him.I slapped her brother on the hand when he tried to touch one of my curls."You can look but don't touch," I said, quickly. He tilted his head, picking at my fries."Oh, watch out H, you're about to get replaced," Frost said with a smug smile.Henry shook his head and smiled. Okay, so maybe I was growing obsessed with his dimples.Happy Reading!
My heavy breathing echoed through my ears. Black spots fitted my eyes, I squeezed them shut and shook my head frantically in an attempt to clear my vision but it didn't help. A slow ache pierced my skull. I glanced at the curious faces around me. The dark spores that were left if the drakon clung to me like a magnet. I began to feel heavier and heavier. My hands tighten around the blade and I tried to stand on my feet but I stumbled. I glanced up again. Why weren't they helping me. I know it wasn't everyday, a person kills a drakon but it was a part of my job description. "A thank you, would at least suffice," I said loud enough for the shocked hellhounds to hear. Suddenly the school door opened and a few students started rushing outside. "No, get back! Get back into the school," Frost's ex yelled. The students backed away slowly, watching with curious eyes. "Isn't it dead," Frost suddenly appeared with Henry close behind her. "Kelly," she called, taking a few steps towards me.
I gaped at the sight of an 8 feet tall creature standing a few feet away from the car. It had dark scales resembling that of a fish. The scales would rise and fall showing red skin underneath from time to time. It looked as if it was breathing but it already had two nostrils with spiky whiskers on the side of its face. “Is that a dragon,” I asked scared. “Drakon,” Henry said breathlessly. “Why did you say it like that,” I hurriedly asked nothing just tone. “Drakons, are bloodthirsty. They kill and kill until there is no one left,” he said with difficulty, his breath struggling to come outright. Another scream turned o
I sat up sensing the change in the atmosphere and I got to my feet with the intention of showing them to the door but before I could speak. The door burst open and an unfamiliar scent made its way to us. “Dad, is everything OK. I heard yelling,” a guy roughly around my age entered the living room. His words so heavy and strong. I forced a chuckle. “Well ain’t this a lovely family reunion,” I said. I ran up the stairs and went to my room. Locking the door. I stood frozen for a bit and then walked towards the window. The house was completely surrounded. Wolves of all shapes and sizes lingered, waiting for their alpha. I took a deep breath pushing away my tears and staggered back. I bumped into my bed and decided to sit there. My tears fell without my permission. Falling one after the other until I was balling my eyes out. I laid in the center of my bed alone. I sniffed and grabbe
I stared at phone and sped walk down the near empty streets. So demons were running free and we didn’t exactly have a witcher just brewing under the pot. The mayor had been compelled into sending all the humans into lockdown, while all the supernaturals were tasked with damage control. I stuffed my phone into my pocket and tightened my sweater around my waist. I was not comfortable wearing shorts in public, at least not while wearing my own face. The brand of Isabella McHale was roughly based off my confidence in showing off the claw marks on my thighs. They were a question of tattoo or birthmark. At this point in life, I believe that it had a very important storyline behind it. I stepped into the diner and was slapped by its emptiness. I approached Henry and Frost, who were sitting by a table in the corner. “Why does it look this bad,” I asked as I sat beside Henry. “Because the head of Whit
I slipped my phone into my back pocket and I walked back into Draya’s house. It was now empty with only Draya’s wolf walking around the house. “You just missed then,” she said spraying something around the living room. It was scentless bit I think that’s what she was going for. “Nope, I don’t,” I said, sitting on the arm of the couch. I inhaled deeply. “So, what’s the plan,” she asked. “Let the adults handle it,” I replied. “Your not serious are you,” she asked folding her arms sassily. I smiled and shook my head. “It’ll take too long for me to track down and convince the other imperials, even with my alpha powers and their locations and names,” I stated. “Also I’m not a killer and I know that they’ll want to choose the easiest way out.” I continued. Draya nodded. “I’m guessing y
“Shadow wouldn’t let you,” he said. And for the first time, I saw his face. But his words held, a greater weight. Suddenly I became more aware of myself, my environment, the vines wrapped around my limbs and the blood running through my veins. The green eyes of a guy I thought I knew. In realization of giving away his mystery, he did what he did best, what I did best, he ran. I forgot to breathe. I fell towards my knees, hearing nothing but muffles. A hand gripped my jaw and pulled my head back. “I guess the blood of and imperial alpha wolf, is far more powerful,” he whispered into my air. “Please don’t, we can, we can sort everything out. You don’t have to,” I pleaded, I wasn’t sure what he planned to do but I know it was not good. “But I have to,” he said sweetly. “Then you leave me no choice,” I retorted, forcefully hitting him with head. His nose cracked and pulled
“Kelly, slow down,” Frost called after me as I pushed through the students in the busy hall. My mind was set with a sole task and there was no time for deferrals, but we don’t always get what we want. A figure suddenly appeared in front of me blocking my way. “Your going down, mutt,” Angela spat moving by slowly with folded arms, I ignored her and glanced ahead of me. Frost’s ex and a 2 of his friends stood a few feet away. A growl ripped from my chest and a hand grabbed my wrist. “You don’t stand a chance against them, let’s just go the other way,” Frost said as a voice of reason but I had a tough skull, so naturally I ignored her. I huffed and walked slowly forward then stopped. I turned abruptly, they had me surrounded. Mental note: listen to reason! “Kelly Isabella McHale, we would like you to come with us,” Frost’s ex said.
Henry successfully spy proof my house. Now he was taking me to the one place I detest more than Dimples, White Lake High. Apparently now everyone believed that I wasn’t a murderer so yay! I sighed scrolling through my I*******m. There were a lot of bad comments and my team was still struggling with damage control. I couldn’t let this terrorist take away another good thing in my life. “I need a comeback,” I said loudly. But how? “Are you sure that’s what you need,” Henry asked. I glanced at him and our eyes met. “Yeah,” I replied, glancing away from him, unsure. “I need a straight answer, Kelly or this is not going to work. I need to know that you are ready,” he said. I bit my lip and nodded. “Its about time I take the fight to this guy,” I said strongly. “But how? We don’t know his identity or anything about him,” I voiced my doubts.
I’ve had black outs but none like this. None where I am conscious yet still in the dark. I can’t feel my body. I can only feel the pain. I’m left alone with my thoughts with my memories, attacking me every chance they get. I don’t need air, I don’t feel the pain. I just feel pent up emotions from years where I never knew the were being build up. I feel the anger, the hate, guilt, the blame. I feel everything when all I want is nothing. I want nothing. I need nothing. Nothing is better than this. Being no one is better than being someone with no one. No one to love, no one to trust. I lost it all I will lose it all. The hated becoming the hater. This was my curse. I’m the reason for the pain the suffering. Maybe I should be the one dead. I didn’t want to feel like this anymore. I wanted it to end. I wanted to scream but how do you scream when you don’t have a body. When your locked in the darkness of your own mind. How do y
