The Takeover (Things Get Out of Hand)

posted by vanelandsisters

By: Sonikku J. Aleena, Manikku J. Aleena, and Salamina Q. Acorn

Chapter 1
(Sonic's POV)
Two in the morning, I'm woken up by Dad and Stepmom. "Sonic, honey." She whispers to me. I sit up and look at her. "Yeah, what's up?" "Your father and I have to go on another business trip. Can you please tell Sonia that we'd like it if she could be in charge?" I nod, yawn, and hug them 'bye'. I eventually take out my 3DS and play one of my games on it. I'll say about three/four hours pass when I hear the front doors open. "Mom doesn't live here anymore," I think. "She lives at the hospital, and Dad and Stepmom...

D-Jumper Ch 2
"Ms. Sumter! Are you going to join us?" I'm jolted back to reality by my English teacher.
"Yes. Sorry Sir." I apologize sheepishly. I hear a few snickers from my classmates. I hated this class so much.
I feel my phone buzz, and discreetly take a look. It was from Rocky, my best friend.

Hey, r u ok? U look out of it.

I look up at her and nod my head.
"Ms. Sumter! Pay attention. I will not tell you again!" Mr. Houseon scolded.
"Sorry," I apologize again. I give Rocky an accusatory look. She smiles in response. I sit and look at Mr. Houseon, not actually listening. My vision started to...

I have no idea what to call this. O.O But it's chapter one.

Just a few things before the story; one, if there's something you don't like about it, please tell me! I want it to be as good as it can be. ^-^ Just please tell me in a respectful way, please. I would appreciate that. Thank you.
Also, this story will be a little (well, more than a little) bloody and violent, and there may be some cussing later on. Just a warning.
That being said, I hope you like it!

A Father's Love Letter

Just to let you know, this is NOT mine. I found it on another website.

My Child,

You may not know me, but I know everything about you. Psalm 139:1

I know when you sit down and when you rise up. Psalm 139:2

I am familiar with all your ways. Psalm 139:3

Even the very hairs on your head are numbered.
Matthew 10:29-31

For you were made in my image. Genesis 1:27

In me you live and move and have your being. Acts 17:28

For you are my offspring. Acts 17:28

Millions of Miles Apart

From the moment your born somewhere out there you have a true love. At less that’s what they say? They say there’s one person who has the same heart strings as you and they complete you. And there’s nothing that can keep you apart from one another...But what if my one true love isn’t here? I mean what if I never find him or her if that’s the case which I hope it’s not. I don’t know what to say but I’m different from the rest...What if there’s no one out there for me?

.:~Water~:. (PLEEEEEEEEEZZZZZZZZEEEEEE READ!!!!!!!!)

posted by allicyn1234

Water
My only escape
Where for once my arms that are too pale and scrawny bend perfectly
Where I feel perfect
This is where my spirit will stay
When my body turns grey and dies away

Water
Where my legs that are too chubby or fat kick so strong
I feel perfect
This is the place my spirit will stay
When my body turns grey and dies away

Water
Where pain only makes me only go faster
Better
Prettier
Perfectly

Water
Where my face that's not pretty in never seen
Hidden in waves that make me feel free
This is the place my spirit will stay
When my body turns grey and dies away

Water
When I used to stab myself with needles
And let the blood bleed out
Suddenly is the last thing on my mind
And when I do spill blood
It's only on the days my mom says I can't go
To the water
Where my spirit will stay
When my body grows old and dies away

Chapter Two
Jessica lounged on top of the Walgreen’s cash register counter.
    “So, do you even know what your’e going to do about your dad thing?”
    “Obviously, I’m doing just fine. I can live by myself until I turn 18,” Samantha told her, agitated that she was asking that stupid question again
    “You do know thats, like, illegal right?” Jessica countered in her annoying teenage girl accent.
    “Since when do people here care what’s legal or not?”
Jessica merely shrugged in response, they...

"We're going camping!" Solimar said to her friends. Everybody cheered and were very excited...well, everyone, except Pamela and Sergio. "We're leaving in two days to MonteNegro, and we're staying there for at least a week. Any questions?" Pamela raised her hand. "Are we living together for a whole week?" "Yes, Pamela, we are. My parents are going to borrow us a trailer, so whoever doesn't like to sleep in a tent can go sleep there. Anyone else?" No one else raised their hand. "Good. See ya'll on Sunday!" Solimar got up from the BK table and left., like everyone else except Edgardo, who had...

Loved And Lost [Short Story]

posted by para-scence

I'm never good enough for anyone. I'm always in someone's way. My mother, who had me at sixteen, always complains that I ruined her life. My father left before I was born. I never had any real friends; they all said I was too weird, or I'm such a loser. My teachers hated me, because I could never get good grades. I could never do anything right. All my life, I've been annoying, stupid, worthless, and a waste of space. But they never even gave me a reason, so I couldn't even fix the problem. Am I too ugly? I know I'm less than average looking. My blond hair is a pretty dull color, and I never...

Guardian Demon

Revealed when called upon
Permitting the dagger to
Deliver steely truths
Who does it hurt the most,
The victim or the killer?
Sacrificed knowledge comes with damnation
You’ll be in hell before knowing this
Blessed by curiosity
Cursed with wicked hate

Speaking words shaper than glass
Not cushions to lay upon
Take the cruelty and use it for your benefit
Or shun the blinded wisdom
Refuse to accept any of the words
Too much experience for fifteen
Too much madness from simply looking
Deny this as you always have
Repetition will be my death
In a vain attempt
Prayer for an ear
A privilege of being a friend
Staying...

Whatever Happened to the Days?

posted by LovingLucy

I sit and wonder…
Whatever happened to the days?
Watching BSG and Lost with Charles,
Playing Star Wars with him,
And Shortys?
Whatever happened to the days?
Of Josh helping me through the grief of my father’s death.
Whatever happened to the days?
Of chicken and egg salad sandwiches at the SUB and take-out Chinese for dinner?
Whatever happened to the days?
Of GIRLS NIGHT OUT!
Whatever happened to the days?
Of spring at KU?
Whatever happened to the days?
Of KU’s waterfall and walks at midnight…
Whatever happened to the days?
Of all my friends at KU, and what great friends they were.
Whatever happened to the days?

A Little Too Curious (part 2)

I felt like I was under a hypnotic spell. I couldn't control anything. I stopped when the water got a little past my waist. I then heard myself start to chant. I didn't know what I was saying, but like I said before I had no will power. As I was chanting, the waters started to fizz. The more I chanted, the more the waters fizzed. Then a strong head wind came. Thunder clouds formed in the sky out of nowhere. I stopped chanting and the water settled down.

As it began to rain, I walked back towards the beach shore. When I stepped onto the beach, I instantly turned back to normal. I ran back home...

Newborn, Chapter 1

Newborn

I've been with the Cullens for about a week. It's not so we'd to adapt to a vegan lifestyle. In fact, I rather enjoy it.

My name is Elle. I don't exactly recall my last name. It's Cullen now. A week ago, I was mauled by a wolf, and left to die. Luckily, the Cullens found me.

It was a warmish afternoon. The Cullens and Bella were in the forest, playing a casual game of baseball. When Emmett was running to catch the ball, he came across me, curled into my tight little ball. "CARLISLE!!" he bellowed as I remember. The rest came running. I was writhing, the pain from the attack hurt me so...

Unknown: Chapter 3

I suddenly feel extremely sad and miserable. I realize that my Coca-Cola is gushing on the floor. I quickly clean up the bubbly mess.
The phone beside me rings. "Hello?" I say.
"This is-" a man starts, but I immediately hang up because I know it's some weirdo asking for money or whatever.
Cautiously I turn the TV back on, desperately hoping that something sane appears on the screen. For extra measures I change to a random channel.
It turns out I stand corrected, because I have the best of timing to turn on the TV just when Wyatt Starmount gets a sword in his neck. I shriek and try to shield myself...

Modern Day Princess Ch. 12

posted by para-scence

Grandma felt extremely guilty. She thought it was all her fault; she'd tried to set me up with Foster in the first place. I tried to convince her it was my own choice; my own mistake, but she still blamed herself.

But I had other things to worry about.

One day at school, Echo wasn't there. I wouldn't have been so worried, if people weren't freaking out about it. I kept hearing Echo's name said in the hallways, along with "did you hear?" The teachers in some classes even told kids to stop talking about it; it was none of their business. But it was mine. She was my best friend, and I didn't even...

"You likehim?!" Echo said, somewhat surprised and disgusted. "Why?!"

"I don't know..." I whimpered. I hung my head. This was all so confusing. Echo took a bite of her sandwich, and watched me for a while. She swallowed.

"Well, iff you do... That's fine. I mean, just because I think he's a jerk doesn't mean..." she didn't finish. That was my problem as well. He did seem kind of a jerk. I still didn't understand why I like him. I put my hands to my face and groaned. Echo chuckled. "Love sucks..." I nodded.

I was walking home from school, a couple weeks later, when Foster showed up by my side...

"Irina?" he shouted over the blaring music. I was stunned into silence. "What're you doing here?!" he smiled. I opened my mouth to speak, but then Mateo butted in.

"Dude! What're y-- oh. Hi, Irina," he said unenthusiastically. I waved. Blake looked back at me, still waiting for an answer. I couldn't give him one; what was I going to say? He looked at the drinks spilled all over me.

"Oh, I'm sorry! Did I spill your drinks? Want me to buy you some more coke? Or was it Pepsi?" he offered. Coke? That was better than what I was coming up with.

"Uh, no! It's fine!" I shouted loud enough for him to hear....
