When I was three, I learned something tragic called death. Since then, I've always dreaded my own, the day my lifeline will be snapped. Just another speck of dust flicked off the face of the universe. I have always known that day will come, because as humans, and as living beings, we are all bound for death. But I knew that I still had time, that I was still fifteen, that I had many decades left to live my life. I often wondered what a world would be like without Aryn Rosalina in it, but I had never thought of a world without my parents. Until now.
Yesterday they were still here...
Fighting back my tears, I try to imagine what

Mkay, so, this is the chapter I was in process of. I WILL TELL YOU FIRSTHAND THAT I NEVER GOT TO FINISH CHAPTER THREE'S BODY. In fact, the paragraph you see at the end was planned to be the beginning of chapter four, but screw that. Anyways, yeah.... umm.... that's why it's sorta incomplete, because I never bothered to finish it. Still, it's all that I have.
Chapter Three
My first instinct is to scream and run.
If it hadn't been for Amy, I might've just done that. Instead, I feel her body freeze next to mine, paralyzing me instantly as well. Fear based off of everything we've been taught at school plays a huge factor in

In a world where deadly mutations, under the name of Fiends, are brought forth by the planet's careless experimentations, the only thing brewing around is trouble. The Citadel, a well-built fortress that shelters the remains of the human civilization, is the only safe haven left on Earth, and with the Fiends prowling at the borders, no one dares to step outside. But even so, tragic things can still happen on the inside.
Amy and Aryn Rosalina's parents are killed one night, leaving the two orphaned forever. Just when everything seems to be perching at edge, a sudden decision arrives out of the blue, and it all changes. In just a fe

I am fifteen years old, nearing sixteen, yet I have never seen the stars that scatter in the night sky. The ancient stories describe them as a beautiful sight when you have just had a rough day, but nowadays the sky is nothing but midnight blue bleached over with ash.
Centuries ago, my ancestors got careless. The world was already in a dangerous state, but no one took any action against it. Instead, they ignored it and kept playing with their scientific tools and technology, taking everything from nature but not giving anything back. Problems kept popping out, accumulating over the years, and by the time anyone had realized what th

I can tell you the truth behind your parents' deaths.
They died. Isn't that all that matters? They're dead and they're not coming back. That's the harsh truth of life. If you're alive, you will be dead someday. It seems sometimes that it'll be in the distant future, but often quite close. Too close for you to imagine. What did happen to my parents? A murder? Drowning? Hanging? Electrocution? Maybe even suicide?
Stop that, I tell myself. It's no use. They're dead, and there's nothing you can do about it other than sulk.
The tears find me again. The officer must be used to it, because he doesn't comment. Five minutes pass - or i

It's been years since Aryn passed away that summer, under the stars.
People think I'm taking it too hard. Maybe they're right. But over a span of less than a year, I've lost everyone close to me. Mother, who still tucked me in every night, up until that last fatal day. Father, who was always so patient with me. And Aryn... my younger twin sister, someone corrupted by power but in the end, still found love in her heart.
I've lived a long, harsh life. I've lost the ones I loved most. I can't say I'm alone in this world, but at times it certainly feels like it. But from everything I've experienced - love, hatred, grief, jealousy, and
