Scars of the Quill - Part Three
Chapter Three: Something Sour This Way Comes The rest of the week went by with little incident, at least for Quiver’s part. As each day passed he found himself getting a little more anxious about his coming housemate. With no word yet from Gilded Lily regarding their arrival, the most he could do was keep their room clean and try to stay patient.Patience, unfortunately, was not a virtue that he was good at practicing, though he had gotten better about it. And regardless, it was the end of the week, and a weekend at home was a decent enough consolation prize. He just had to get through the remainder of the day at work, and he would be...

I'll Wait For You...I Promise Part 50 ReaderxLevi
Staring worriedly at your still rapidly fluttering eyelids, Levi became more convinced with each passing second that this was no normal case of you simply fainting; the fact that you had experienced a sudden burst of pain in your skull prior to passing out adding more weight to his suspicions.Promptly digging around in his jeans pocket for his mobile phone, he quickly swiped his thumb over the screen and moved to press the emergency call button, however a small sigh from your semiconscious body immediately halted him in his tracks and pulled his attention back towards you. “F/n?” He asked cautiously, slowly moving closer and scrutinizing y...

MLP: The Fight for Friendship Chapter 05
Sinister Six There was only darkness, an endless stretch of black that encompassed her. Where she was, what had happened to her, were all unimportant questions. Right now she felt nothing, no pain, no emotions, not a care in the world to bother her usually turbulent mind. She could sense the hooves of oblivion slowly stretching across her body, beseeching her to leave reality behind and join the darkness once and for all. She welcomed it, she embraced it... It was like she had finally found peace, and her wretched existence could finally come to an end. Peace... she did not deserve peace, not after all those bad things she had done. If a...

The Return to Innocence Lost - Draft One
Part One- Just do it, it , trust me. He said. Stoic. Stone faced, With a hint of a dark smile, one that I had never seen before, it was more of a grimace, really. This was my brother. James, my mother had christened him. The look in his eyes, the window to the soul. It was like that of an animal with its prey in sight; frightening, it was. This was fourteen years ago. Undressing me, like he would a woman. Me. Juvenile, helpless, like a deer in the headlights. My shirt got discarded; blood red.

Just saying ;)*Heat radiated from his chest into the back of your figure as your blood ran cold of the touch of the sharp blade. The edge scraped lightly as a feather over your skin and goosebumps appeared over your arms while the tiny hair on the back of your neck rose high in the air. His voice was lost in the air as your mind shut down immediately, panic taking over your reasoning. Your breaths left your slightly parted lips raggedly.Quietly, you forced yourself to calm down at once and to think it through. How did he come into y...
In the pale blue light that came in through the window from the city on the horizon, Samus sat on a chair by her bed. With a heavy heart she watched over the sleeping form resting within, wondering if this was reality or a dream. If she climbed back into bed would she be alone again when she woke up in the morning? She wasn't sure why it bothered her so much; she'd been alone her whole life, so it shouldn't be any big deal. But the loneliness she had experienced after knowing what it was like to be with someone was far worse. It was a crushing, inescapable feeling.She remembered the day that feeling began like it was yesterday even though ...

Part of it was Ned telling him that they had to do it. The other part was just sheer curiosity to see how all of it worked.
“You see where you’re going?” Clint asked as he stood between the two boys. They both had beginner’s bows and blunt arrows solely used for practice. Ned verbally responded while Peter nodded. “Now let’s worry about how you get there.” He tapped Ned’s elbow. “Too low, pull it back just a little more.”
Ned nodded and did so, well, tried to anyways.
“All right, on the count of three, release your arrows.” Clint ordered. “One… Two… Four…” He smirked when the boys almost released. “… Three!”

Ludwig was irritated. You could tell if you were standing six yards away from him. He sent out an aura that clearly stated 'Something is wrong and I am thoroughly annoyed'. But no one thought much of it. In fact, a majority of the students didn't even care. But really, when would they when they had their own 'problems' to deal with.Francis and Arthur were insulting each other even though they were both gay for each other. It's not that they hated each other, but it was the fact that Arthur was a tsundere and Francis couldn't help mocking his food. It wasn't even food. Just green, burnt, inedible lumps of...lumps.Matthew was trying to escap...

Dreams p.10: Trials, Take 2
Bess stood there looking very sheepish as the statistics for her body were displayed prominently. Standing there to be ogled was one thing, but being anatomically broken down and analyzed she found humiliating. It didn't help that she had read from those in the viewing platform knew that they were being slated for termination. Without Danielle, they all had performed pretty badly.
This was going to be like an old gladiator fight. Each one of them was going to be taken out and get shot up one at a time until they caught a round. As a team, they stood a chance. Alone no hope.
And just to be cruel, Bess was taken out first. She slipped off ...

I'll Send A Storm (Ruvik X Reader)
Hello Everyone! I’m back with another imagine that was requested anonymously for The Evil Within, a Ruvik X Reader story to be more specific. There will be a slight time jump in the story and I apologize if one event is out of order (I added a scene in here that happened earlier in Ruvik’s story line). It was requested for the reader to be a nurse (I ended up making the reader a doctor) that ends up helping Ruvik and it was also requested that I base the story on Storm Song by Phildel. Storm Song is a really beautiful song so I recommend giving it a listen if you ever get the chance. When I wrote this I decided to interject the lyrics her...

E.G.: Manifest Destiny! C. 2
I Have No Synonyms 1:42 PM. Monday, the day so hated...but today was not meant for anger, except when put in the phrase, "get angry!" On this day hung the importance of no other day save for just a few, here and there, dubbed finales and premieres although none of them marked the beginning or end of anything too important. On this day, sadly enough, was the end of a lifetime sustainable and beginning of uncertainty immeasurable. The crown. The crowds. Mind-boggling amounts of power and untold potential. A history not so wide as it is deep , and foolish to try and counter-act. An entelechy whose presence cements the argument for...

Brain Freeze Part 1 - Union of Justice
Previous Stories: The Mesmerising Miscreant - The Titanic Timekeeper Francine Braid had a great life. It had been fine before, but ever since she was chosen to wield the powers of the Greek Gods, Hypnos and Pasithea, it had become much easier and far more fulfilling. The "Super Hypnosis" she now had access to went far beyond what normal hypnosis was capable of. Rather than a state of extreme focus and openness, Francine could induce a state of absolute obedience, like something out of a movie from the 1930's.
She giggled, partly from the excitement, and partly from the touch of Pamela Hazel. Francine looked down at the redh...

The Secrets of the Lost Part 3
Ashes to ashes…
Dust to dust... Blake’s funeral was that Saturday, and the sky was cloudy and chilly. His family stood by the casket with sad, teary eyes. His parents felt it the strongest, because they had seen their son hanging there...and they had been unable to help him. Even Baile was dabbing her eyes with a tissue.
“I knew we should’ve called those people to help him,” Blaze wept, hugging herself.“It isn’t your fault, Blaze,” Sonic told her softly.
Everybody Blake knew was there. His family, the Prowers, Knuckles’ family, Shadow and Amy, even Cody. Andrew insisted that Blake just did it because they lost the basketball because of him...
