"They'll tear us apart If you give them the chance"
I fell backwards on the bed. I was exhausted out of my mind after the overly active evening. Today was my coming back party and I had never felt so out of place. I wasn't used to this type of atmosphere and suddenly being thrown into one made me stressed. Aiden unlike me was made for the spotlight. I depended on him to make the introductions and to carry on with the conversations.
"When I'm with you, I'm buzzing and I feel laced""Rafael, I have something in mind." My dad pops in his head into my room.
"We play hard with our plastic guns""Mr Flynn. There's been another explosion and, this one is massive." The head of security enters the room; while we were in the middle of a conference.
"In your head, in your head, they are fightin'. With their tanks and their bombs."My eyes widen and stay glued to the television, trying to absorb the words that the president was speaking.'I declare war against Orka and all that it stands for.'Alex gives a low whistle, beside me.We watch the rest of the news in abso
"I don't wanna look at anything else now that I saw you"Minutes pass by, and nothing happens. The whole place was quiet, and the only sounds were that of our silent breathing. My mind was racing out of focus. The anxiety of it all was crippling. I wanted to hear the sirens that said that everything was clear.
"And I know that you're scared,Because hearts get broken"I take a step back. Refusing to believe what was standing right in front of me.
"Even when the sky falls and I've lost it all I know I will find you there""Mr Flynn?" Carter knocked on my office door.
"If I can make it 'til dawn then it won't be hard to see"Standing there a few feet away from us were two strong, armed men. Looking at them at first wouldn't make you suspicious in any way. But the more you looked at them, the more different they seemed.
"I'll make the moonshine just for your view,I'll make the starlight circle the room""I am kidding, Juliet and Ian are on their way here," Adrien says, trying to hold back his laughter at my ashen face.
HI,Sooo... This will be the end of the first book. I was wondering how to end it and this seems like the perfect way( For the time being, I guess).For two months I had a full-blown writing spurt and now it has come to an abrupt stop. So yeah, the second book will take some time to
I woke up to bright sunlight shining on my face. I groaned and tried shifting to find a much more suitable position, but the cold hard floor wasn't comfortable in the very least.I slowly sat up, my back and my muscles aching more than ever. I rubbed my eyes and my face, only to immediately wince when my frozen fingertips touched my face. My fingers had turned slightly blue due to the cold, but luckily they hadn't turned numb.I looked beside me to see that my sister and my mum were still sleeping. My tossing and turning had made me move away from them by a few meters. I slowly hauled myself up from the floor. The cave was fully visible now that the sunlight was filtering into the cave. I had to say it was, even more, prettier in the daylight. The whole cave was black in colour with blues in it. It looked untouched and spotless apart from our belongings that were sprawled on the floor. I made a mental note to clean it up later. I decided to check the outsid
Fayth's POV:The car was slowly coming to a halt, and the air was thick with smoke. I jolted awake, confused by the sudden change in the atmosphere. I looked sideways at my mum, in the hopes of getting some clarification."Why did you stop, mum?" I asked her."There is a huge line of cars stuck right ahead. I don't know why there is traffic here. We haven't even entered the city yet." She looked confused. I looked ahead, to see so many vehicles lined up ahead.We waited for a while, yet the vehicles didn't seem to move ahead. The people seemed to be getting angry, and I saw many people get out of the car in order to inspect why there was a block."What is happening?" My sister moved towards the front seat and asked. She seemed to have woken up from her slumber, still rubbing her eyes."There is a block ahead," I replied."Why?" She questioned."Like the hell, I know!
I hoisted into the car, the little of what was left, of our belongings. My mother stood on the sideways, her eyes glued to the debris which we once called home. I didn't know what to say to her or how to comfort her."I could have done it," Rafael told me, pointing towards the bag that I had just placed in the car."I am not weak, you know," I replied. He was already helping me do other things, and I wasn't going to stand on the sidelines and watch him work.Adrien slammed the boot shut. I turned towards them; not knowing how to say goodbye.I stepped back and let mum do the farewells first. She hugged both the boys and said something to them, that I couldn't catch. Surprisingly she didn't cry."Fayth!" I heard someone scream my name, and I turned around to see who it was.Scarlet was running towards us, her brother and her family walking behind her. The site was pretty funny, but her eyes glistening with
"I was looking for something that I couldn't find.It's a feeling you give me inside"My whole body was aching all over. My head was pounding, and my body felt like it was on fire, and it was getting harder to breathe. It felt like I was transported to a whole new plac
"We never learn, we been here before. Why are we always stuck and running from, The bullets?"Rafael's POV:
"Drenched in my pain again,Becoming who we are"Random Person's POV:My eyes widened, as I watched the bus that was carrying so many people, fall on its side, and immediately bursts into flames. I had to swallow my screams. The debris flew all over, and Andrew floored t

"The war outside our door keeps raging on""Are you sure you will be fine on your own." My mother asked me, standing at the doorway.
