I look at my wrist. The skin where I cut the letters is pink and sore. I run a finger over it and wince.

What came over me? I think as I sit up and look into the mirror. Really, I have no idea why I cut myself. And what a wacked out dream. I can't really be an heiress to an ancient power can I?

I shake my head and go to my closet. I grab some jeans, ( Read more... )

The band was playing, and the crowd was singing along. This was how I had been spending my Friday nights, in a café with my friends listening to rock bands and eating pizza. It had become routine. I hadn’t had any nightmares lately, so I was in good spirits.

The I saw them. Two girls and a guy, walking toward our table. They all wore black shirts ( Read more... )

"My Lord, we need to make camp here tonight," said a guard.

"Very well, Daniel. Set up camp."

They were outside Senger. The city was going to be searched tomorrow, just in case.

"Celestina, we’re resting here," the hooded man said to his sister without looking at her.

"Very well, brother. I’m going to the stream we just passed. I saw some herbs I can ( Read more... )

I woke up gasping. How was I going to convince Mom to let me stay home?

"Mom, maybe I’ll stay home today. You’re supposed to be let out, and I’ll stay and help."

"No honey, school ends in two days, and you have that Latin exam you studied hard for. Besides, it’s a half day."

The next two weeks ended with my total number of fits at fourteen. Wonderful.

Every night, I had the dream on the battlefield, and I couldn’t figure it out.

Mom was growing concerned. Sometimes, I would catch her watching me from the corner of her eye. When she saw I was looking, she turned away.

You see, word was, I was crazy. Possible. They all ( Read more... )

I muttered a quick good-bye to the nurse two hours later, and headed to the cafeteria. I needed to talk to Sammy about what I had just seen. I knew she probably was going to do one of two things. She would 1) say they were just dreams and I shouldn’t put any stock in them, or 2) I was crazy, because having fits followed by dreams that seemed so ( Read more... )

I woke with a start.

What the hell was that dream about?I shook my head as I sat up. I ruffled my red-brown hair and looked out my window, my brown eyes staring back at me.

What does it mean?

I was your average 16 year old. I had long, red-brown hair, and brown eyes. My skin was slightly tanned and I was average height for my age. I looked a lot ( Read more... )

The rain was pouring outside. Thunder clapped and the lightning flashed.

"I sense a great change brother," said a cloaked figure next to the window.

The room was circular and large bookshelves lined the walls. Candle filled chandeliers hung from the ceiling and cast flickering shadows on the tables below. Candles sat on these tables and helped ( Read more... )
