Accidents can cripple, hurt, and cause destruction. Well a little known fact is; accidents can also reveal secrets… dark secrets. Some secrets we keep to save others… some we keep just to save our reputations.
Then we have secrets that are kept to protect ourselves from serious harm. I learned this the hard way; now here I am standing before three creatures of legend. Shaking and in fear for my life… just because I had an accident.
The day started off like any other day. My small suburban neighborhood was silent like it should be. The forest that was behind our community

"Oh my head…" I said as I sat up "Where am I?" I asked realizing that I was in a dark, damp cave. Light was shining at the end of the cave; I got up and ran towards the exit. The cave exit was very wide so I had a clear way out; outside the cave was a vast forest. The moon shone through the trees and a gentle breeze blew, the night air was warm.
I spotted a calm blue lake, I walked over and seen my reflection in the water. My messy brown hair, green eyes, and well tuned body, all looked back at me. The water was cold as I washed my face off, "Who are you?" I heard an angry female voice say. I turned around and seen a girl a

"Bent get up dude mom and dad want to get going… like right now." A voice said to me through the darkness of the closet that I slept in.
Without even moving or lifting my head I replied groggily "Tell them I will be down… later."
The closet door closed and I stood up; stretching from my head all the way to the end of my tail. M claws dug into the carpeted floor as the feeling of refreshment flowed through me. Kyle, the person who woke me, was downstairs talking to his parents.
"No tell him we have to go NOW Kyle… just b

I was never a happy person in life but it got worse as time went on. Everyday it seemed like everyone was getting it better than me and all I could do was stand by watching. Work was a drag everyday I had to work the late shifts and early morning shifts… trust me not a good combination. My boss was always a jerk greeting me everyday "Why the hell are you so late… I am knocking an hour off your paycheck for today." The truth was I was never late I was early in fact.
Many people told me I should take a break and let all of my emotions come out instead of taking it everyday for "bad" things could happen. I didn't care though wh

Rock 'n Roll… that is the only thing that I live for. Loud music, head banging, partying… it was all for the spirit of the music. My parents disowned me for my unnatural love for ear bleeding loud music. They called it trash, but I call it my life force.
Nothing would stop me from buying CD after CD of the stuff. It was funny because I would go home and my mother would yell, "JASON YOU SPENT YOUR CASH ON THAT CRAP AGAIN!?!"
I would just nod and rush past her to my room so I could listen to my new disc. I am sixteen; don't I deserve my own lifestyle different from theirs? Many

A letter… that is all it took for my life to be turned upside down. I had to make a decision between a friend and a passion. The choice between keeping that friend or destroying him.
I should explain what happened. On May fourth, 2012, dragons returned to the world. Not all people were a hundred percent human; a bloodline ran in people all around the world the world. This bloodline was of course draconic; for some reason the gene was reactivated in a bunch of random people.

Time was never on my side and I thought that was bad enough. No it wasn't; because now I had to find a way to save myself or face life as a dragon. One week to reverse the dragon's "impulse"; the "impulse" was apparently reverting me to my "true" state.
I wasn't buying it…. I am HUMAN and nothing will ever change that. Right now I was packing my freshly unpacked possessions… I was returning home. After A night at the compound I was deemed ready to return; they thought there was no way for m

There was no moon to light my way as I crept around the bunkhouse. I had to be very careful not to make any noise for if the guards roaming the yard caught me who knew what would happen. Slowly but surely, I made it to the corner of the building.
I quickly stuck my head out to find two draconic guards walking and talking together. "God… get out of my way you lizards," I spat under my breath. The guards were coming my way and I had nowhere to hide… unless; "Oh I am such and idiot" I told myself. Backing up from the wall I prepared to charge the wall.
With all of my agility I ran up the wall to th

The sun felt good on my face; slowly I crawled out of my sleeping bag. Morning dew on the ground moistened my dried hands. I quietly slipped on my shoes; suddenly something fell from my hoodie. It fluttered to the ground; I reached down and picked up the object.
I was holding a letter in my hand. It contained no name; the only thing on the envelope was a dark sword. Without even thinking I already knew who wrote the letter. The most secretive group to walk the face of the earth; The Hunters.
My hands shook as I ripped the letter open. Carefully I slipped the message out of the envelope. It read "Announcing your opi

Love… I have always felt it and known it for my whole life. Humans say dragons are just mindless beasts that go around and kill for thrill. Well my life shows just how wrong you humans truly are.
My name is Granice Shersickle and I am a light blue, water dragoness. On four legs my height is four feet, two inches. Human women don't like to tell about their age… and neither do we dragoness's.
I was hatched deep in the heart of an isolated mountain range that you humans have yet to discover. Just don't think I didn't see the world as a hatchling; my mother, Brasila, thought that traveling and watc

War is always destructive… on both of the opposing forces. Yet it is still needed at times; when diplomacy fails. War can only go so far though, and when both sides have taken casualties beyond what they had intended, the stakes are raised.
The war we are about to go into happened a long time ago… and it almost brought both of the species to extinction. The year is thirteen twenty-four; the location is unknown to today.
What we know from this war has been presented in early documents from both sides of the fight. This war w

A woody smoke filled the small tavern's noisy air, as the warming fireplace heated the merry atmosphere. The sweaty, bald, barkeep wiped the counter and watched the four men sitting across the room. His well rounded middle was constricted due to his dirty apron.
The four men were the only visitors, mainly for the fact that it was well past one in the morn. They sat in the far left hand corner, laughing and drinking ale, their good moods kept the barkeep happy. This was better than the usual fighting that occurred at these times of night or earl

Light, from an open window, gently filtered down onto a mess of brown hair. The owner of this hair was hidden under a blanket, on a bed. Sighing, the sleeping lump, in the bed sat up and the blanket fell down to reveal a boy almost going into manhood.
He rubbed his tired eyes, and stretched his slightly muscled arms. When he finally managed to fully open his eyes, he looked around the room. It wasn't very big but it was enough to house him. A dresser stood against a wall, beside the door.
This was his main concern. Slowly he got out of bed and m

I whinned and she looked back at me with a smile prominent on her muzzle.Hatching Love10 months ago in Settings More Like This
My heart melted instantly when she looked at me like that. Her eyes held that wonderful sparkle, her teeth gleamed, and the love that radiated from her was more than magical. "Its for a special occasion Drackon... trust me you are going to like it."
"Fine... what is this surprise though? You have me on edge... STEAKHOUSE NIGHT!?!" I exclaimed, my stomach grumbled his agreement with me.
Unfortunately Granice shook her head and replied, "Its even better... life changing moment ahead, so be happy."
I nodded to show I understood and put a forced grin on my face. Suddenly we stopped by an icecream shop and Granice looked at me. "Can we get something to eat... I am starving." She put a paw to her stomach and held it there.

Factory DefectsAfter a year of delays and red tape, my air rifle had finally arrived. I had received a phone call in the morning from the staff at the range informing me that it had arrived. All I had to do was to clear some paperwork, and it would be mine. Of course, the rifle would have to stay in the range or armoury. I am not allowed to remove the weapon by law.Factory Defects1 year ago in Short Stories More Like This
Upon receiving the news, I had hopped onto the bus, and made my way to the range. I had waited a year for the rifle, and was eager to try the gun out.
When I reached the range, I was greeted by a stern-faced policeman.
"Sir, are you the owner of this gun?" He asked, as he took out a clipboard
Pendant Jake was laying lazily on his bed, holding a dust ridden book and reading by the amber glow of the lamp on his night stand. It was yet another night that he just couldn't sleep; these odd cycles of insomnia posing a greater and greater annoyance. Stirring slightly beneath the covers, he kicked them off, allowing them to slide off the foot of his mattress; landing to the carpet in a crumpled heap. Sighing, he flipped another page, guessing this would be just another night of boredom and sleeplessness.Pendant6 years ago in Fantasy More Like This

Nick stared blankly at his computer screen. It had been days since he'd had any sort of inspiration for his songwriting and he just felt completely bummed out. His online friends had tried to make him feel better, but all in all it seemed nothing would help. He just needed some sort of inspiration to break him out of this slump.
After an hour of browsing around FA and DA and his other social networks and coming up with nothing, he leaned back in his chair and let the chat messages flood in. Someone started going on about their problems again, and he began to tune it out. He turned on some music to help h

Chris’s alarm clock rang, waking him up. It was Chris’s 21st birthday today, but he wasn’t excited or happy. Chris had no family or friends to share his birthday with. His life was a mess. He had a low paying job, and he was close to being kicked out of the house he was renting.
He got slowly out of bed and got dressed. Chris walked down the cold empty hall to the kitchen to have some breakfast.
Just when he was about to open the fridge’s door, his doorbell rang.
I wonder who it could be... Chris thought as he opened the door.

The loud clanging sound of the school bell jolted Damien awake from his concurrent daydream, as it signalled the end of yet another tardy day in school. As Damien's laggard vision cleared, the first thing that his eyes focused was the look of annoyance which befell on the teacher's face. Her arms were akimbo and her irises were primed at the student which dozed off. "Young man, you are to stay back after class." The teacher snapped before tilting her glasses into position. "For the rest of the class, you are dismissed."
Within that instant, loud screeching sounds of chairs filled the classroom as the student quickl

Low, dark grey clouds hovered over a wide, short brick building. Wind shook the few trees that stood in the small green yards that lay on either side of the two doors that made up the main entrance. A long gazebo, with a tin roof, hung over the entrance, support from two brick columns held it up. On each side of the doors, four windows peered out from the building. Orange and brown leaves blew down the street, around the numerous cars parked on the curb-side of the road.
Rustling from the leaves echoed through the eerily quiet town. All life seemed to have disappeared from the streets and outs
