It started, with a star…

How many times have you fallen in love with someone you know you can't be with.…? Not for anything... You can't run away, and they can't love you back....

or-- won't.....

I am a falling star. I am Ashtaroth. That is my human name, my real name is Unukalhai. I am part of the constellation Serpens Caput. Every star that falls dies when it hits the ground-- Except one. It is very seldom, but, if the world needs help... The chosen star, when it falls, does not die. It, in fact, turns into an angel. You must know that all angels are stars. However, only one can exist on Earth at once, and they are what we (us stars of course) call "un-touchable". They cannot get hurt, they cannot die. The stars soul purpose on Earth is to solve the problem. And when the problem is solved, the star dies. So, basically, If a star comes to Earth, they will die regardless of what ends up happening here.

It was one of those days, or nights, (to a star, there is no difference) where you knew something was going to happen. You didn’t know what, but there was that feeling in the space around you. Everybody was all shifty, like they knew something I didn’t.

I felt like that today. And guess what happened? A meteor shower, that’s what. Several of us all at once began to feel the lack of that complete immobilizing grip that held us to the fabric of the sky.... It was as if I was hanging by a thread, then…

*SNAP* the thread broke.

I was falling. I mean it was understandable. Imagine, being alive for thousands of years then, "SNIP", and the sky turns you loose and you have absolutely no control what-so-ever of where you are going? Suddenly feeling he pull of gravity toward Earth, a place where nearly all are destined to die.

I shot like a bullet, traveling a million miles and hour..... I saw the wind, the time and seasons changing around me..... I was alone, completely, utterly alone..... I don't know what happened to the others, but they were no longer with me. I was to die, alone. I always knew I would, and the thought never bothered me, until now. I was rushing at unbelievable speeds, thrashing my flares as if I could slow myself...

*CRASH*

I woke up in a strange place that disobeyed all rules of nature. For one thing I could move on my own, for two my flares were no longer flashes of light that lasted half a second, but solid and for three there were small sparks of various lengths protruding from the ends of these "solid flares". I had never seen, nor heard of any thing like this. I had a body.... there were long string like things connected to the top of me... The color, I find out later is called “pale blonde”,
I also had a leathery “binding”, that held me together it was white, pure white.
I wore, what I learn later is called "dress" of white, with long trailing "sleeves" as I learn they’re called. I also received some things that are light and feathery that I learn are called "wings" yet, they were retractable, like a cat’s claws....

I walked across the "grass" through the "woods" it was night, I was sure of that. For I knew that on Earth, night and day change. There are many stories of the sky, myths, and legends; about “the Earth stars” or, I guess you call them humans. One is about the two things called night and day that are constantly changing.... And there are some that tell of different kinds Earth stars, some that rule the skies, others the dwell in the murky depths of blue (oceans), we have also heard of monsters that have sharpened bones called fangs and claws that they use to rip apart the flesh of Earth stars (this one I’m familiar with, being related to one myself.). But my favorite, is called love. You see, stars can’t love, and they want it. Strange concept for you isn’t it. The thing is, none of us know if it’s real. Even you Earth stars question it sometimes.

I felt the grass beneath my "feet", and the "wind" against my flesh, I felt so.... at home. I felt that strange sense of belonging to this world. Like I was meant to be here. Like there was no where else I was supposed to be.

I have a mission... a mission to restore the Earth star's connection with earth, and themselves... To create peace. To bring love back to this broken world, that is my soul purpose for existing. The one and only reason I lived, while the others died. There’s only one problem, I have only one month to do so. If I do not complete it, I die, and the Earth will forever be separated from the stars. They will be on their own---

Forever.....

I drifted over to the "lake" and stared into the blue. There was a girl staring back up at me, she had pale blonde hair, porcelain white skin, and lavender eyes.

I stayed there, hour after hour, sitting in the grass, picking "flowers", and mimicking nature. Humming like "bees", swaying like flowers in the wind, standing tall and strong like "trees", whistling and chirping with birds.... The birds and animals that I copied came to me, and I jumped and leaped with the deer, galloped as fast and long as the horses. They talk to me, they all do; the trees, the birds, the flowers, the soil.... The earth speaks to everyone, everyone and everything has a voice. If you can't hear it, than you are not listening. There was that sense of belonging again. Though I would not feel like this forever, there was no other place I would rather be. I really was meant to be here.

The dawn is coming. I see the sun climbing over the mountains, she says “good morning!” I reply "Good morning!!" It was the first time I had spoken.... The sound of my voice made the light spread over every stone, flower, and tree, casting long early morning shadows.... My voice woke the birds and the earth stars. The very first 'good morning', is what really brings the Earth to life. From who? Doesn’t matter. It just matters if it is said or not. That’s why we get up early. And why do you think the day are so short and the nights are so long in winter? Well, think about it, who wants to get up early and go outside just to wake up the sun in winter? Certainly not I.

On the other side of the lake, the Earth stars were awakening.... I sprinted across the surface of the still water, and landed precisely and gracefully on the shore. I floated across the ground, looking in wonder at the strange things the Earth stars were living in. The shelters were made of fabric and propped up with long smooth sticks. Someone beside me opened the fabric, and crawled out, inside there were multi-colored sacks that were opened at one end, and the Earth stars would then crawl into the open end and lay there all night. It is a bit strange here, so ignorant was I at the time. Didn’t know anyone, didn’t know anything.

I walked and walked until I saw an Earth star that looked the same age I was, only, of course he couldn't have been. For I am several thousand years old. He had dark, dark hair, dark misty eyes and a somewhat dark completion. He had obviously seen some sun in his life. "Hello!" I said cheerfully. He looked at me and smiled "Hi." he said. "Can you show me how to get to the nearest battle field?" I asked politely. "Ummm..." he trailed off. It was obvious no one had ever asked him that question. "Which direction should I walk in?" I asked helping him along. "Let me-- go get a map..." he said slowly. “Here’s one." I said pretending to unfold an imaginary map, and right before our eyes a map of the earth appeared in mid air. I handed it to him. He stared at it in pure astonishment. "What are you?" he asked scanning me up and down. "I am an Earth star." I said shrugging my shoulders, not technically lying.... I am one in form......and besides he asked me what I am, not what I was.......

"May I see the map?" I asked him. He slowly passed it to me, "Sure...." I took it carefully and unfolded it. "Where is the war?" I asked again hoping for an actual answer this time. "Here somewhere..." he said pointing to a shape with strange markings on it. “Alright," I said circling the shape with my index finger, the place my finger touched glowed white, "Where are we now?" I asked. He pointed to another, much smaller shape in a large "continent". I circled it with my index finger and wrote in Rishima (star language) 'beginning' and over the place we were going to I wrote 'end of journey' I traced the route we would take allowing stops along the way, having learned that Earth stars must sleep. Once again everywhere I touched glowed white. "I'm ready," I said standing up "let's go." "Go where?" He said, looking terrified. "To the battle field." I said matter-of-factly. I put the map safely in my pocket. "Why am I coming?" He asked in horror "Now that you know where I'm going," I began "you have to come with me." "Umm..." he paused, he ran he tried to get away. He was fast, but I was faster..... I zipped in front of him faster than lightning and held out my arms to block him. He crashed into me, I stood stock still, but he fell backward staring up at me in complete disbelief. "I said you’re coming with me." I told him forcefully "And I'm not taking no for an answer- are you coming with me?" "Do I have a choice?" He asked angrily. I shrugged my shoulders "No." I said and with that I grabbed his arm, and, pulling him up with me, we took off....

There's no such thing as "fitting in" apparently.

I was observing I guess you could say, the students at the school. The kids who were "popular" were very obvious; they had huge crowds around them, and were acting very obnoxious. Apparently this rank was given to you at birth or something. Kids who were "losers" were not allowed to socialize with these kids at all.

I pity the losers.

Not that I wasn't one either, because it's obvious that I was. Not even the other losers would talk to me... Not that I wanted them to. I was better off just being by myself. So I avoided Jezreel and Emery as much...

Hi!, this is my new story that I have started and I hope you like it! By the way, I have this story on here also (link link) Thanks, comment!:D

I never plan out anything. I never know whats gonna happen, I don't have anything under my control. I didn't plan on falling in love, or losing myself as time went by. It just happens.
October
I walked down the gray colored sidewalk that was buried under fallen leaves to my bus stop. The sky was gray and gloomy, filled with clouds. As I approached my bus stop, I noticed John wasn't there. John was a quiet freshman that only talked when needed. I stood...

Dear Alex,


My last letter didn't do justice to the hurt you did. Not even slightly.


For days, I would lock myself in the bathroom at lunch, and be afraid of the teasing I was subject to when I came out. Your friends were all idiots, you know that? Stealing your phone, texting me and making me feel like I had a chance.

In our last argument, you told me I lie too much. Yeah right. Everybody lies. Even you.

At one point, the pain built up, and I just had to let it pour. I hid in my room, just crying and wishing I had aimed my affection at my schoolwork, not some jerk who ruined my life.

Then, you...

bed quickly, he sat up and looked at me then felt the wet sheet's himself "Not again!" Simba said as he to jumped out of

"Well ya you did but I had a.... wet dream heh.. and I drank a lot before I went to bed so I couldn't hold it." Simba said

as he pulled the sheet's off the bed "Well we're gonna have to clean them now." Simba said as he sighed balling up...

His footsteps seemed to echo throughout the house, as he grew nearer and nearer. I braced myself; ready to defend myself if things got ugly. He appeared from the family room, and folded his arms.

"Cosette," he said in his deep voice. I bit my tongue. There was a long pause as he looked me over. Then he cleared his throat. "You've... been slacking on your chores. Your room's a mess. Get to work," he ordered, then disappeared. I stood there, dumbfounded. I looked at Franklin, who shrugged sadly.

I went upstairs, to my room. Again, it felt like I didn't belong here. I slowly walked in, observing...

A lonely skeleton, the body and mind may be dead, but the heart isn't. It won't die until it finds its love.

AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!"
A pair of eyes shot open as the dark-haired boy jolted himself out of his nightmare. His eyes searched the room fearfully as he clutched the pristine white sheets between his white knuckles. His breathing was erratic and his heart rate was beating at the rate of an animal being chased by a vicious predator. He continued acting this way for a few minutes before he began to calm...

Ace was still at my house a week later. I'd managed to get no information from anyone on when Echo was coming back. It couldn't be much longer, right? She had to come back sometime. I began to worry. They were bound to find out why she cut herself. What would happen when she got back? Would they take her and Ace away? Would I ever see her again?

I became very lonely.

I ate lunch alone. I went home alone. I did everything alone at school. I had no other friends at school; not that I was complaining. I didn't really want any other friends. Echo was the greatest friend I could ever ask for. It'd...

With this new story, I wanna write a horror story.

It's called Imaginary:

Sierra, a young six year old from Ocean Gate, New Jersey, dies from a car accident and a broken skull. Meanwhile, Molly, from Bayville, gets a new friend. Her name is Sierra.

As Molly's parents notice their daughter acting strange, they start to worry. She always asks to set the table for an extra person, and she always talks to herself in her room.

Sierra is being fueled by something that's in their house, and she's feeding supernaturally off of Molly's body, and strange things start to happen in the house.

Anonymous laughing, horrifying screams, eerie whispering, problems with the power, and worse. Molly gets weaker.

On this supernatural journey, Molly's parents will try to fight something that's beyond them, whatever it takes to save their daughter's life.



In loving memory of Sierra, a childhood friend. I still miss you, and I know your brother does, too!

We were all piled up in the car. Jack and Vince in the front while Sean and I were in the back. I think they did it on purpose. Sean and I had been fighting, on the verge of breaking up, type fighting. Jack and Vince didn’t want that to happen, apparently we were made for each other.
    Sean and I hadn’t said a word to each other since we were forced into the car. I had no clue were we were going, and I wasn’t about to ask Sean. Jack and Vince made a rule that I wasn’t allowed to talk to them either. I guess I could be a little annoying.

I managed to get out of the house, with Dad and Kara thinking I was going to work. But instead, I went to Blake's house. He took me to the horse ranch again, and we rode horses. It was much easier than the first time.

After that though, I decided I should probably take my punishment. I stayed home all day, except the days I was actually working of course. Also with my punishment, I became Hera's chauffeur. I was stuck driving her to the movies, with a discount because of my employment there, to her friends' houses, and wherever else she wanted to go basically. She was so annoying. I took my...

Blake

It was Valentine's Day. I'd never really liked the holiday. Girls always thought it was a "romantic day" and it was just.... annoying. This year, however, I was actually happy about it coming around. This year, I had Irina. She wasn't like most girls. She was different, and I love that about her. I bought a bouquet of flowers; I was going to give them to her at lunch. I started eating outside with her, and that Briar girl that she introduced me to. That girl is strange, but sweet. I'll never forget when I met her:

"Blake, this is Briar," Irina introduced one day after school. This girl...

Toyo was slumped over, half on the wall and half on the floor. He clutched his throat with both of his pale hands, coughing uncontrollably. In a useless attempt to get up, Toyo stumbled and fell on his side, almost completely paralyzed by the desperate pain in his lungs and throat. If only he could get what he craved so badly...
Aiko has it. Aiko can give it to me.
"NO!" Toyo screamed, throwing himself at the door. Instead of it opening he crashed onto it and slumped on the floor again. His legs were utterly useless to him in this state. Panting heavily, he felt the pain lessen, and finally...

"I..I didn't see you..you were over there, now you're here..oh my God," I say, pacing before he grabs my arm, stops me.
"Chill. Would you like to dance?" he asks. I say yes.
Hesitantly.
We dance, sometimes close, sometimes dancing so crazy we can't even see each other. But something weird happens during one of the dances. He pulls me close. I barely know him. And then, his hand around my waist, he almost grips me, as if in pain. And then burning, almost like a msall scratch a dog would give you. A sharp prickling runs through my lower back. I moan, softly, and I look at his face. His eyebrows...

"Why in the heck are you wearing that?" my mother asked. I looked into my full-body mirror in my bedroom inside this tiny apartment, studying the short, yellow, frilly gown. I sware to God..I gleam in this, Mom! I thought. "It looks more like a scrap-of-a-dress." I ignored her.

It was the day of my high-school prom, the last prom I'd ever go to. I was going to graduate this summer. I sorta wanted to come out with a bang. My eyes, just like moms, looked bigger, darker, and gorgeous when I was wearing yellow. My choppy black hair seemed to shine more. This IS the perfect dress, I thought. My...

Days go by you like a shadow,
you don’t live this life,
you’re becoming a shadow
of your destiny.



This cruel fate hates
your laughter,
loving your pain that
sleeps inside your
broken heart.



Broken and tired
of all these lost fights,
your life becomes
invisible
and you don’t care anymore,
but you do,
you still do.



You’re trying to see
through this fog,
you’re still fighting
for that day,
the day of your peace.



Your path is full of
thorns that are stabbing you
directly into your hope,
tearing your soul apart,
you’re on the wings of powerlessness.
I sit up straight in the middle of the night; my forehead is stained with cold sweat, my breathing is heavy. Pure darkness is all around me. Just another dream I mentally convince myself, but I’m still shaking. I can’t calm down, no matter what, the dream felt so…real. Trembling, I get out of bed and go into the bathroom. Looking at me in the mirror was painful. It looks like I just got in a fight with a rabid cat. My black hair frizzed everywhere, mascara and eyeliner smeared around my eyes, tear streaks on my face. God I could use some exercise I thought as I examined my body shape....

Elyon stirred in her sleep, causing her thin blanket to slip off. Slowly her bare arms were covered in goosebumps, as her eyes began to futter; her peacfull face turned to concern, she sat up and looked around.
"Where...?" she managed to mutter through her dry lips. She didnt know where she was. She had never seen anything like it before. Somehow she was sitting in the middle of a medow sorrunded by flowers. Elyon stood up and wrapped the small blanket around her shoulders. She looked down at...

I looked back down and we sat in silence for a couple of minutes. I looked to my right to find Looi holding the child that was being stubborn in his arms. This, in fact, reminded me of myself in his arms a long, long time ago. Oh, I’d say about 16 years ago when I was 2 and he was 11. My mom and dad had Looi when they were only 19 years old, so It took a while for them to decide to have me 9 years later when they were 28. I laughed at how old my mom was now. I know it’s nothing to laugh about, but, I couldn’t imagine my mom at Looi’s age now that she is 46.
