Summers EndFloating on the surface of the pool Aqua’s at peace – the sounds of the world around her smothered by the water lapping up around her face. Her short light blue hair flaring out around her head matches, not only her eyes, but her bathing suit as well. The two piece bikini isn’t new or over the top, but accents the curves leading from her amble bust to her butt. However, it all provides much more coverage around both areas.The serenity of drifting in the water by the use of nothing but her body blocks out any disturbances. Helping is the fact that their neighbors, divided by brown private fence, are absent this afternoon. All there is is their white two story house with navy trim. After all, she plans to enjoy the last day of summer to the fullest for despite the blazing sun above the tree line; one can still feel the presence of fall in the air. Alas today would be her last day to enjoy the water for her partner had already decided to begin preparation for the six

In the end he had let her go knowing that he could do nothing to save her now, just as he could do nothing to save his own friend from the inevitable death. All he could do was turn to the one person he had left only to see the shadow tendrils yanking him off the side of the airship and into the void. The chaos grabbed at him before he could do anything and left him with the sight of the other man’s fearful countenance. x.x.x.xThe teen sits on the edge of his bed in the quiet darkness. He’s neither sure whether he’s ready to go to bed or simply to stay up. All he knows is that he’s alone; a busy father and decea

Never ForgetA young couple sits on the end of a pier, legs dangling over the edge above the deep blue waters. The dark midnight sky remains speckled with silver stars as well as the moon. The cool breeze parts around them with only the sound of waves filling their ears. The young man stares down at the water nervously, his sapphire eyes brighter than the navy color of the ocean. His beige slacks reach past his white sneakers, his shirt matching the absence of color. His hair rises up off his head, with some falling down into his face, as if the tresses were spun gold to bring out the shining blue eyes on his countenance.The young woman beside him seems to be his contrast with her shortly cropped black hair. A black spaghetti strapped dress reaches just before her knees, her pale legs leading down to the simple black heels. The one thing that seems to match him are her eyes of the brightest blue, except even around her irises there are specks of azure. Her pale slender hands rest in her lap, grasp
I SwearIn the middle of Twilight Heart city stands a tall building that houses the most deadly of killers. They work solely for the company Paradigm and always follow the strict orders and guidelines; trained killers to keep the city safe from monsters and other humans. Despite the skeletons the company hides in its closet, the people in the city live a rather blissfully unaware life of what happens on the streets at night. This is all thanks to the units that sneak furtively throughout the city and towards their targets, destroying them without much if any alarm. The company’s main unit, the Commando unit, resides in the higher floor of their building, housing them and training them to peak performance for every mission is harder than the last.x.x.x.xA young woman, the third member of the Commando unit, stands inside her shared room with one of her other teammates.

In the Darkness The light fades from his view even as his eyes remain wide open. These bright sapphire eyes remain wide in fear; the kind of fear that paralyzes and breaks the person down to nothing. All he had wanted was to protect the people he cares about more than anything. He had accepted his destiny of an endless fight against the darkness; for in his eyes the only thing darkness begets is evil that threatens to rip him apart. But he realizes now just how powerless he is as he sinks deeper down into this abyss, his light lost underneath the waves of darkness crashing around him. He can not scream and he can not fight; he can only breathe slowly as his light continues to be snuffed out. A single thought passes through his mind just before he loses consciousness; save me.------ The darkness glowers down onto a world forever shrouded in shadows. Th

PromisesThe night remains still as a young princess of eighteen strides down the steps of the castle at her back. It stands tall and majestically; a home and a prison to her sheltered heart. Her fate remains out of her hands except for this one night, this one chance to see this “Sun” that she’s seen so often in her blissful dreams. The light blue gown twirls about her in its several layers of fabric as her gloved hands, in the same hue of color, grab at those layers. The small grab allows her to easily hurry down the last of the steps and into the gardens filled with midnight flowers, the heels of her baby blue heels clicking against the gleaming gray stone. She quickly recovers her breath and readjusts her gown, making sure that the low cut of the strapless dress remains in place after her journey from the hall of the castle.Her short lunar tresses criss-cross over the left side of her face while her longer locks are swept up into a white winged beret to keep it off her

I heard voices, sounds buzzing in my mind without making any real sense. My head pounded as I forced my eyes open enough to glare at the world through my eyelashes. I was lying down on a sofa, head propped up on soft cushions. Hayner sat in a chair next to me, feet propped up on a small coffee table, flicking idly through channels on a small T.V. "Welcome back."

When Zexion left for Uni, not much changed. I still sat in our usual corner, and though we had often sat without talking, without him there the room seemed empty. Each turn of a page echoed in the silence. I missed his company, and always half expe
Hate to LoveThe shadows of the small room meld perfectly with the occupant’s mood. Coupled with bright sapphire eyes and flaxen, spiked tresses one would think he’d have a smile upon his countenance. However, all that settles upon his lips is a heavy frown. His arms, sheathed into a black hooded-jacket, cross themselves over his slim torso. Legs clad in tattered looking blue jeans settle to remaining on the floor; his legs too short to reach out to the coffee table which is pushed farther away than usual. Shining blue eyes settle into a glare that remains locked onto the door across the room right next to the TV that has seen better days, the small object clearly the subject of abuse and many drops to the ground. Only one of his bare feet tap angrily against the wooden floor, which is a blessing thanks to the fact that neither him nor his “roommate” rarely find the need to do a thorough clean since neither are home long enough.That is, except for tonight.The clo

It was locked. Twisting the bed sheets underneath my hands, I wondered how long it would hold.Axel was on his way. And he was furious.Larxene and the others were out, leaving the house cold and empty. The silence hung heavy around me, a stifling false sense of calm that numbed my limbs and clouded my mind.

Missing BirthdayThe heels of her knee-high leather boots stab against the steps of the stairs as she walks up them to get to the front door of her home. Just as she gets a few steps before the door, she pauses. Her muscles tense with the unnerving feeling she gets from walking up to the door. It’s something she’s done hundreds of times, but for some reason she knows there’s something on the other side that’s bugging her. Despite not knowing what it is, she takes a step closer. Her legs don’t so much as shake as she does so; the brown mini-skirt over her high-topped black shorts smoothed out perfectly as always.The red cape attached to her uniform, near the metallic pauldron bearing the yellow stripes symbolizing her as a sergeant in the Guardian Corps, sways behind her before she comes to a stop once more. She crosses her arms over her chest donned in a sleeveless white overcoat with a brown turtleneck shirt zipped up to the top over it. Her head tilted to the
