Blinding. Relentless. Invasive.

"It grants eternal youth and banishes wrinkles." Modern Vespera uncorked it and sniffed. "It smells like cucumber water." Fantasy Vespera winked. "It is cucumber water. But if you tell the peasants it is magic, they believe it. Perception is power, sister." Modern Vespera laughed. She reached into her pocket and pulled out a sleek, black cylinder. "A trade," Modern Vespera said. "A solar-powered, military-grade LED flashlight. Never runs out of battery as long as there is a sun."

Lucas was puzzled he couldn't believe he had slept with a total stranger, with his personality and all he found it strang and funny all together. Lucas has a cold personality, he is especially cold mainly to the female gender , thinking back in time, his father Mr Isaac lost his precious wife during childbirth while Lucas lost his mother at a very young age of five . Because of the experience he had to go through and also watching how his father was devastated at that period of time , that was when he said to himself that he wasn't going to have anything to do with the female gender because of fear losing something dear to him.

"You have to choose Ellie!" "Choose what?" I cried back to him. "Choose me!" My mother spoke as she looked up to the sky. "You'll be safe with me!" She implored. A sudden cold drip hit my face. I wiped it away with my fingers as more drips came. I looked at my hand to see it was blood splatting all over me and covering the ground. "I'll get you! YOU'RE MINE!" The shadow's deep voice boomed just as lightning struck the treetops and turned the leaves into flames.

I scream for mommy, but she doesn't come. Jim waits until I'm quiet. I say I won't make a sound. I want mommy. He takes me to her. I'm very still. He hands mommy a bag with white powder. "This is the last time. Never again. You can get your kicks hurting someone else," mommy says to Jim. Jim smiles with his scary brown teeth. "That's what they all say. Beat it bitch."

I grab a bottle of water, twist the cap off, and take a few gulps. It doesn’t help. The pain is growing, sharp, persistent, like something is trying to claw its way out of my mind. I close the fridge door slowly. That’s when I hear it. Footsteps. Steady. Heavy. Familiar. I turn and see him. Cassian. Standing in the glow of the open pantry door, wearing dark sweats and a plain black T-shirt, hair slightly disheveled like he’s been working late or trying and failing to sleep.

I woke up the next day feeling cold. Marco poured a bucket of cold water on me. "Aren't you supposed to be awake by now?" He asked. I lifted my body and tried to stand up. "What do you want?" I asked and he held my wrist and pressed it. I winced in pain before he released it. "You have a package to deliver for me." He eyed me. "Why can't he send it to DHL?" I asked myself. "What package?" I asked and i got a slap in the face.

He abruptly snapped, "Do you not believe me? Are you still mad at me? Viv… I'm focusing on our family now. What more do you want from me?" I looked out the window and, without sparing him a glance, responded, "I believe you. I thought I was fine, so I didn't bother you. Let's head back." My reply was as perfunctory as an automated response, prompting Nathan to slam his fist onto the steering wheel. The shrill blare of the horn shattered the silence, startling the performers who had just finished their show across the street. One of the women lifted her head and looked over. In the freezing night, she wore only a thin performance costume, her arms wrapped tightly around herself, the tip of he

"Who stole my damn liquid courage?" The bartender, a weary-looking Beta with a scarred ear, slid a glass of water toward me with a placating smile. "Here's your drink, Luna. Or whatever you are tonight."

And never, ever go into the woods behind the town of Coldridge after dark. I broke all three in a single night. I ended up stranded on Route 9 with a flat tire, no signal on my phone, and the kind of rain that doesn’t come down… it comes at you. My sister Lily had been texting me for twenty minutes before the bars plummeted. She was probably pacing the living room floor, biting her nails, like she always did when I was late. I pulled the flashlight from the glove compartment, stepped out in the rain, and took the second worst decision of my life.
