Gloom & Doom High School isn't your run of the mill place. Of course being high school, kids still hate it but it's the kind of place to attract the unnatural. Normal things don't happen at Doom High. Especially on days like today… * * * * * Randall Loner had his hands on either side of the girl, breathing hard. Every breath made him grit his teeth in pain as the nails reminded him of their presence. 'Why the hell did I decide to do that?' He thought to himself, wincing as he shifted slightly. The boy regretted taking off his shirt—only slightly though—for the girl was staring at his chest as if she'd never seen muscles befo

Astra blocked the flaming sword with her own, rage building inside her. How dare he accuse her?! Shoving the attacker back, she called upon her power. "I thought you were my friend!" She screamed, spinning under his sweeping blade to stab his thigh. Ripping her blade out maliciously, Astra began to hammer her opponent, not even noticing the limp blade she'd knocked aside. Her rage had consumed her. It took a while for Astra to calm down and when she finally did she stared in disbelief at Justin's bleeding body. He swayed where he stood, a small smile on his lips. "I have always been your friend" Justin whispered with a soft smile before he

I shivered despite the warm air. Cold seemed to run through me, flooding my veins with frost any time the weather got even moderately warm. My friends always joked that ice instead of blood ran through my veins—they had no clue how close to the truth they were. My father was an ice daemon, one of the strongest faeries that ruled the winter. He always told me how no one had approved of him mating (sounds like a disease) mom but he'd done it anyways using his strength as immunity to traditions. I had inherited that strength or at least some of it. I could create a chilly wind; make a snowball whenever among other things. My father is alw

The wolf's eyes glittered in the darkness. Her prey lay just ahead of her, peacefully unaware to her presence. She crept forward another step before the rabbit stiffened, raising its head. "What are you doing pet?" A soft voice asked causing the she-wolf to growl in frustration as the rabbit took off into the brush.  "Never mind that pet, I'll soon have you hunting better prey" A robed two-leg stepped from the bushes, surprising the wolf. When she tried to run, she whimpered in shock; she couldn't move. The two-leg laughed at the wolf's struggles while he places his hands on her. Soon the night was ripped apart by pained howls accompanied b

Mare shivered in the cols as she looked at the shadowed faces of her companions. The wind howled through the ruins, whipping across a dead plain that had once been a thriving city. Now all that was left was ruined buildings and small groups of survivors. Mare looked up as an arm fell across her shoulders, smiling when she saw her boyfriend's face. It seemed strange in such a desolate world that she could have found such a light after everything else was gone. Kane had been there for her when she'd most needed someone and he always seemed to have a smile on his face. "So leader….What are we doing tomorrow?" They'd seen squads of the se

 Chains slithered from the darkness, fastening to Jai's legs and arms. Struggling the mute wished he could scream as the creatures crept closer, their putrid scent making him want to throw up. Suva were grotesque to look at as well and these created horror with one glance. One of the Suva ran a claw down Jai's face and a presence touched his mind. "Would you like your voice?" It asked in a tone that sounded like music. Jai stared incredulously at the beast, not believing what he had just heard. "How could you give me a voice? I'm mute!" He thought at the Suva causing it to chuckle mirthlessly while the other Suva gathered began to dissi

"Socia duca!" The Companion-commander turned his head toward the messenger as he ran up. The man was gasping from running so far and the Companion-commander made a note to get the messengers horses. "Socia duca Feral! We have Atlantis surrounded. The Nauta Liberitus only await your command to commence the invasion." The Companion –commander nodded, glancing at the ships below him. He was surprised that the messenger had not given the proper greeting. "What about the Spiritus Liberitus? Are they in place?" He asked looking across to the armies that stood ready. The messenger nodded eagerly opening his mouth to speak but he was silenced b

In a world much like our own, an evil is rising.  No one knows where it came from or what it was; only that it threatened the survival of their world. One person has been sent to out world to find the last hope they have: five mystics with stars upon their brows. But the seeker must find them in time…or all is lost. * * * * * Mel shot bolt upright in her bed. She'd had another nightmare, this one worse then the others. Four others had been with her, each with a star like hers, facing down a swirling darkness. She shivered, remembering the familiar feeling the darkness had given her. How could she know anything like that, something so w

Gilmore stood at the end of the dark alley, sweat dripping from his brow. His arms quivered with effort as he struggled to hold his twin swords aloft and his legs trembled ready to collapse beneath him. If you let me out, I could help you know. Zenas whispered into his mind. Gil ignored the Kra instead looking at his opponents. All of them had released their Kra a while ago unable to withstand his flurry of blows. Now they laughed at him believing he was one of the Resolute. Those poor mortals couldn't conceive a Kra and so were placed under the Meer. It will only take a minute. Their Kra are all Level Two or lower. Obviously, they were hop

"Guess what?!" Lucian sounded excited through the phone. Amethyst felt apprehension grip her breast as she asked "What?" "I got a girlfriend!" Amethyst's heart sunk to the floor. She should have told him how she felt. Trying to be a good friend, she choked out "Who's the lucky girl?" Lucian laughed loudly making her picture his fangs glistening, his lip ring shining as his slightly long blond hair was thrown back from his face. . Her heart hurt, throbbing against her rib cage. Why did someone else get him? She'd known him forever. "I wouldn't say lucky but you know that girl you were talking about? Mira? I felt bad for her and spent some
