Dear Diary; What a ridiculous thing to do!I have never kept a diary in my entire life. Why now?I will tell you why… I have too much to say and no one to say it to… so here it goes.My name is Zinnia, full name… that I will keep to myself. Thank you very much!I am still in bed, whilst writing in this stupid diary, I am worried about the day ahead. Dawn has not broken yet, and I wish it would never break.I still remember the last moments at that hellhole called school. It was before the summer vacation, the last dance, I didn’t want to go to the last dance because since I was over weight (as per the outlook of our wonderful world) I was the “easy target” of the school, everyone made fun of me and no-one liked me but my mother made me go and of course this is what happened;I got this amazing, halter neck, Champaign color dress it was a silk river flowing down my body. It's just the perfect style to hide my ekstra pound or two. As I walked in and made my way to the table furthest
I had to run but at a human pace. It was so frustrating to do everything at human speed since I have learned that I am capable of so much more. Everything seemed duller and more frustrating than ever before. I thought I’ll never be on time, but unfortunately, I was just on time (that’s my luck. Almost everyone was in the corridor). I breathed a sigh and went in. I could feel everyone’s eyes on me and see the confusion spreading from one learner to another in quiet whispers and jaw-dropping silences. I preferred the silence and quiet whispers to the usual intended to loud whispers and mocking laughter. I squared my shoulders and walked to my locker. My once friend, Sandra, stood there with the rest of the ho-club. They were giggling and chatting away. Apparently, popularity is more important than friendship. I threw open my locker she looked over her shoulder expecting “fatso” but her eyes almost popped out of their sockets (she looked like her yorkey LOL) I grinned at them stifling
When I opened my eyes, I was in the same corridor once more, but at least the lights were on. I realized it was my fathers' castle. His normally at his house, not the castle, and Victorianna, his second wife, and my stepmother stayed in the castle with the dear, sweet Briana. I looked at the portraits down the length of the corridor of my father and all the kings before him. It was so beautiful and ancient. I started at the top and made my way down, looking at all of the portraits. When I came to the end of the corridor, I drew in a breath of shock at the sight of the portrait before my fathers. The man in the portrait was beautiful, his eyes a crystal blue, his hair shoulder length, and bleach blond framed his face. He looked familiar. The gold plate under his portrait said Dentorion Winter.“OMW!”realisation stopped me from reading even further. He looked like...“Do you know...?”“O shit!” I clasped my hand over my mouth, my other hand flew to my stomach, as I was panting breathle
School continued as normal. It dragged on like a never-ending story, and everyone went back to ignoring me and fusing about my new friend. It was hilarious when Rachel came over to Justine and myself at break to invite Justine to ‘hang-out’ with the ‘cool’ group instead of ‘hanging’ with ‘fatso’. Justine stared at her for a while and then answered in a questioning voice. “Who is this fatso you speak of as far as I could notice the only ‘fatso’ is that girl in the ‘cool’ group that is so very clearly with child and the bunch of sickly thin cockroaches.” Rachel didn’t know how to answer this and gawked at this new girl in astonishment. Realisation hit her. She looked over her shoulder at Beverly, the only one with a little wait on her. Dump founded, and with a cruel smile, she murmured; " Pregnant. You don't say."She turned around, flipping her hair over her shoulder, and returned to the group. Ass swaying from side to side. Very clearly on a mission."So, Beverly... when are y
My expression must have said it all and so much more because she suddenly looked frightened (how do I do that?). I couldn’t control my temper at that moment. I left her on the bed and stood in front of the window, I took a deep breath. And for a few heart beats, I concentrated on controlling my breathing. It was most certainly not easy, but finally, I could inhale and exhale normally. “I’m sorry, but how can you not know what I am?” (Damn, I thought I was an elf like my father. Finally, I thought there was someplace I was normal, and now I may not even be that. What the hell!) I turned around facing Justine. She didn’t look relaxed yet, so I gave her a little reassuring smile. “Were not sure because you’re of mixed blood. There are three possibilities: One your human. You ruled that possibility out by making the physical change, and as a baby, you had all the signs of a non-human baby. So we are certain you are not human. But…” “Why is there always a but?” I thought too loud.
I heard the front door slam and realised the time. My “family” was back. Justine must have seen the distress on my face. In a blink of an eye, she cleared up my weapons, laid back on the bed, and acted like she was asleep. For a moment, I thought she wasn’t acting and that she actually was asleep. Just as I was about to slip out, she said: “Remember tomorrow is going to be a long day, so come to bed early.”I glanced over my shoulder and whispered “Good night, Justine, I’ll see you tomorrow.”She was gone, sound asleep. Or so it seemed. I ran down the stairs, taking two at a time. She looked at me, shocked, but then she was scowling.“You! What do you want?” I just stared at her anger bubbling inside me. Not even a ‘hallo’ or even a ‘how was your day,’ no I’m not good enough for that.“I have a friend over, and she is staying for a while.” I said bluntly.“You didn’t even ask. How dare you disrespect me like that…?” (What the hell.) “Well, your husbands' little ho doesn’t ask you
For the past eight weeks, I followed the same ritual; Wake-up early to have a lesson on controlling my emotions and manage my strength but mostly my lessons consist of managing my temper-that was really short these days. Then, off to school, my main aim there is to dodge Eric. And go to classes as usual. The dodging went well except for my biology class, I skipped that class as much as possible or took a seat next to anyone whose partner was not there that day. I just didn’t know how to handle him yet or how to control my emotions around him, even with my training. When I saw him and our eyes met accidently, I could feel the horrible red tint on my cheeks that gave away everything. I could feel that warm touch and his soft lips, and I would wish for the briefest moment that I could feel that again before dragging myself back to reality and away from him. After school, I run home, and then my physical training starts. I had to learn how to yield my weapons, dodge an upcoming weapon,
Your majesty. King Nicolai. King Nicolai!” I heard my old friend William coming down the hall - well William is still very young, but he has lived and worked with me for more than a hundred years. William barged in and took a low, deep bow, “King Nicolai…”“William I have told you countless times to call me Nicolai.” I said, smiling at him.“What news do you bring?” he looked overjoyed when he said: “Your m- Nicolai. Justine contacted me. They will be arriving this evening.”“Oh William, that is wonderful news you bring. My daughter is coming home. I jumped up and went over to the balcony. I could see curious faces staring up at me; “Everyone, I bring wonderful tidings, my daughter; your future queen is coming home, tonight!” I smiled at the cheering that came to me from below. Then, I disappeared back into the room and clasped my hands together.“How wonderful my daughter is coming home. William, please start to get everything ready for her return. Everything must be perfect. Remem
Betrayal, that is what I felt. And it did not feel good… Not good at al… My conscience kept bugging me as I swept into the Elders Realm – as I called it – it was a huge room right on the ocean shore in a cave that was secured and out of eyesight for everyone that did not know about it… to the stranger it would only look like a gap in a rock wall not even big enough to be a cave. The interior was impressively decorated with paintings of The Dragons Days, where dragon shifters ruled and dragons were not extinct. There were a vast variety of paintings of dragons flying, hunting, fighting, and then the war. The horrible war where the dragon turned on dragon shifter, and the war led to extinction, but for a few elders who took the surviving young and hid with them until the very end of the war. Normally, all this magnificence took my breath away, but not today. Today, I could not even see the splendor of the four Elders Hall, which so frequently took my breath away. (Today, eve
He growled, his teeth enlongated. His claws were pinching the skin around my neck, but all I could think of was the fire that followed his touch. I couldn’t understand it. Here, he was about to rip my trachea out, and my body was betraying me in the most inappropriate way. He leaned forward towards my throat and something changed, instead of closing his jaw and penetrating my skin with his teeth, ripping a huge piece of flesh out as expected. He lifted his head and studied me, I couldn’t read his eyes, but something definitely shifted and not just in his eyes. I hoped he couldn't smell my arousal. His gaze flicked from my eyes to my mouth, and then his mouth closed over mine. He kissed me. His lips were soft but demanding. It felt really, really good on mine. The kiss became less urgent, and I thought he was going to pull away, realising what he did, but instead, he deepened the kiss. His tong swept over mine once, and then there was no stopping him or me. The f
I was ready to take off when I heard the shuffling of feet and rustling of leaves behind me. The bushes parted and out stepped an... angel. An angel of death, with huge black wings and a grin that took me to heaven and hell all at once. Another Dragon Shifter… how could that be? My brain tried recalling all the Dragon Shifters that were left - it was only Vigo, myself, and four of the Elders … then there was the outcast… the one Dragon Shifter that was banished from Endresomera I never expected to meet or see him since everyone was banned from coming near Fêrêmontê, the outcast lands. For obvious reasons, the inhabitants of Fêrêmontê, consist out of the criminals, the outcasts, and the banished. It was the first and latter that you had to be careful of. Now, it made sense why I couldn't hear the call anymore. The outcast land had a barrier that forbade the use of magic. Shifters can shift, and vampires can grow their fangs because it is natural to them, but magic was prohibite
I have heard rumors drifting on the wind about a beautiful red female dragon shifter but never expected the praise of her beauty to be justified. Since there were so few Dragonshifters left in the world, praise tends to be overdone and much to easily given. On the contrary, all the praise couldn’t compare to her beauty. For once, the rumors were true. She was a magnificent being. I heard about her killing the wolf before I saw her from a distance. Rumors are like wild fire. They tend to get out of control very fast with assistance from the wind. I was quite surprised at seeing her. She was circling around looking like a ruby, shimmering in the sun when the sun caught her at just the right angle. When she finally descended, I realised she wasn’t as big as I have heard nor as evil looking. Instead, there was a glimmer of a tear running down her scaly cheak. I couldn’t understand why she would shed a tear for a mere wolf. I couldn’t understand why she couldn’t see me, I w
I was halfway to Endrosomera, just crossing Dandros when I heard a shriek of pain coming from inside the woods. Luckily, the pain has subsided enough due to the fact that I was almost there. Just enough to think through the fog of pain. I knew I had to go home, though I could feel the pain returning with a vengeance, at only the thought of taking a different course. I couldn’t just leave it. It sounded like a young girl screaming for dear life. I swooped down towards the tree line, towards the scream putting as many mental barriers between myself and the call. I changed into my full dragon form; it felt good, like slipping into soft, comfy pajamas after a formal event. I could strengthen my mental barriers then because I was strongest in my true form, but it would only work once the pain calmed a bit to think. I flew down into the forest and made my way through the trees and boulders, different creatures scattering underneath my shadow, a group of centaurs bowing their heads in ack
I watched her as she jumped off of the balcony and as her wings unfurled. Admiring her beauty; her scarlet red wings tipped with black. A Shape Shifter can unfortunately not shift into a dragon unless they are a dragonshifter. She looked at home, gliding through the open sky. I couldn’t think of a place where I belonged like that. Only once in my life did I feel at home, and that too was ripped out of my hands. I couldn’t see myself feeling like that in the near future. For a moment, I was jealous. She really was a sight to behold but that feeling of peace and tranquillity, I longed for. I was consumed with my thoughts and feelings when suddenly, a sound brought my attention back from my moment of self-pity. When I turned around, a scream escaped from between my lips. In front of me stood a short female with shimmering, copper eyes, with long, dark brown hair that cascaded down her back until underneath her buttocks. Her dark, blood tainted lips pulled up into a feral smi
When I said goodbye to Stuttgart, I wasn’t ready to say goodbye. I knew I had to, but I was just not ready to say goodbye for what may be forever, I knew I wasn’t ready for all of this; my school, my relationships to end. And that new girl, Nia, there was something about her that’s not quite right. I understood why I had to leave and why I should marry Vigo, and yes, it is a valid point ou Elders make. We are noble and almost extinct, but why Vigo? Even though he wasn’t too hard to look at even maybe handsome to some, his pride got the better of him. He had a reason to be proud, there is a line that shouldn’t be crossed, and he crossed it a long time ago, and his attitude reeks. He was entitled and full of prejudices. He gets on my every last nerve and is one of the stupidest men whom I have met. If I could, I would fry him and be done with it all.It just hurt to know that I would not be able to spend my life with my true mate. My sacrifice will enable a new line of Dragonshif
“You know it’s bullshit! She can’t choose, but it isn’t even a rule or law or anything. It’s just something the dragonshifters decided under themselves. She wasn’t even part of this decision. It's her life she should be able to choose… she should have a choice to choose the mate bond.” A ripple went through him and another. His body was busy transforming in front of me and suddenly with a tear and snap of bones. A huge black wolf stood in front of me. Tensing and relaxing. He just stood there, deciding. I hoped the animal instinct wouldn’t take over because then I’m kind of in big trouble, with al that anger and hurt coursing through his body anyone would be. I had no doubt about that. I slowly took a step closer to him and placed my hand on what once was his shoulder. His head swung around instantly, a growl excaping from between his clenched jaw. “Don’t do it.” I whispered “Everything will work out if it’s meant to be… relax …breath.” Air burst out of my lungs that I didn’t r
I was on my way to my last period, history, when Thentos came walking towards me. It was really getting on my nerves, that he was everywhere at anytime. On the other hand it was kind of nice, knowing that I was not alone for once in my life. I waited for him and when he reatched me I started walking again. “How was class?” “I actually enjoyed it. It was really interesting. Did you know Shifter can shift into anything out every animal group for the first month or so until you find your other?” He smiled clearly, amused at my reaction to this new school. “Yes, I did know that.” “Really old, pure blood, trained shifters can change into anything they see in front of them.” I told him even though I knew he would know, I was still amazed by what I just learned. “Thentos, Nia!” My nickname catched on quickly. I looked around and pulled Thentos to a stop as we waited for Stuttgart. He was smiling brightly, his gorgeous eyes focused on us. “History?” We knodded and
