Broken Oath
"I'll love you till I'm dead inside," Damien said.
We were standing on the roof of my apartment building. The wind blew his long black hair against my face, tickling me. I pulled him closer.
"Do you mean that?" I whispered. It was so easy to say something you didn't mean. I had to be sure his words were real.
"I swear," he said, "and if I break my oath, may my...

I felt my heart beat faster as Satoshi held me to him, his arms protecting me from the evils in the world; from the cold hearted villians that seemed to forever stalk me. I felt so safe in his arms, so secure, I thought that nothing could be better than this but would I have felt so safe with him if I had known what he was?
"Thankyou." I had said this many times since ...

Wearing a hot pink school dress
I stood in the packed bus
Waiting for the person sitting next
To get off so that I could sit
A boy runs to the side of the bus
And yells to the lady
Can you give this to that girl?
The one with pink dress
And big blue flowery clips
Yes this is me
The girl in pink dress with blue clips
I grabbed the letter from t...

He lifted his dark head, his nostrils flaring with the scent of her. He could smell her fear, her knowledge of what was to come. He smiled, baring his white teeth, his canines longer, sharper than an average human. Her eyes, stormy gray, were wide and frightened. Her hair, so dark with wisps of white at her temples, was wild and fell into her face. Her breast rose and fell with each heavy, ragged breath. Her hands, so slim and graceful, clenche...

Lia looked forlornly at the door, behind which a thousand fake smiles and shiftless eyes mingled gregariously with the scent of roasted meat and foreign wine. A solemn sign escaped through the minute parting of her cotton-white teeth, pausing to rest on the silken surface of her lower lip before dissipating into the girl's dimly lit surroundings. The slight opening of her room door bestowed a florescent glow to the chains tha...
