Do you lie in your sleep? When you exhale, do the lies just tumble out? Does a lie always inhabit the tip of your tongue? Ready to run free at a moment’s notice? Because it seems all I hear from you lately Are lies Lie after lie Do you even know you’re telling them? Or do you mean what you say in the moment and later contemplate on your words and decide otherwise? Do you care that you hurt me? With every word cutting deeper into the tough skin I thought I had formed But then you come with your charm and your knife And you cut And cut I don’t even notice the bleeding, lost in your eyes Until you’re gone Then I notice

Chapter 18: Aura's POV   In the span of about 10 minutes I had lost the only guy I had ever loved, my brother, and my heart. Way to go me!   I had never thought heartbreak was this bad. Then again, I'd never been stupid enough to fall for someone. What had happened to me? I used to be so independent so this wouldn't happen. So much for that.  On top of all that, I was still crying despite my efforts to stop them. Suddenly, I felt a hand on my back. I flinched and the hand disappeared. "Sorry. I was just trying to comfort you...Aura? Are you okay?" an extremely timid voice greeted me. Right. John was still here. How embarrassing. "Do I

I still have a long life ahead to get rid of these feelings, right? I wan to try doing over the things I've left undone I am supposed to pursue my dream in this narrow, winding road stumbling in the crowds of people It's not that I want to return to that past I'm just searching for the sky I have lost I hope you understand Stop making that sad face as if you were a victim Sins don't end with tears you have to carry the pain forever Who am I waiting for in this maze of emotions? I want to be more honest as if writing in a blank notebook What is it I want to escape from? ...is it reality? For what am I living? In the middl

Chapter 2:   Waiting was agony. I sat by the phone hoping it would ring. He had said he would call sometime today so I had woken up really early and sat by the phone with a book and my kitten Pearl in my lap. Five hours, two cups of coffee and a book later, there was still no phone call. What if he didn't call? I thought. But he said he would. Then again..I could have been wrong about him..  I sighed. Maybe he wasn't different at all. Maybe it was just all my imagination. I probably just imagined all his smiles. I had stayed up late last night, unable to sleep from the excitement. I had run through the evenings events over and over. Ma

The pain started in her upper back, between her shoulder blades, and it woke her up immediately. It was 3:14 in the morning on a Tuesday. Her new birthday, and she didn't even know that yet. The pain continued and started to spread through her arms. She tried to move, to do something, to say something, but found she couldn't. She was frozen in place with red hot pain slowly spreading down her back and all over her body. She began to convulse, silently. Her only thought being Am I going to die? And then everything went black. Miss Eliza Young was no more. In her place, a being of ethereal beauty lay, unconscious and new to this world. ~...~ "

 In a parallel universe there is the Spirit World. Where the forces of Earth reside. In the beginning there was Time and Space and they created children of their own to be the guardians of Earth and created the Spirit World for them. The first born, Fate, was the caretaker of  the paths of the creatures on Earth. She was to be the first of the two leaders. The second born, Destiny, was the seer of the past, present, and future of Earth. She was to be the second of the two leaders. Fate and Destiny were twin souls and therefore able to be Spirits. But there was a third born without a twin and so he was unable to be a Spirit of the Earth. So he
