Rose

"There are voices of people that linger when their lives are unjustly taken from this earth," Crystal said. "Voices of blood, and people who can't get justice for themselves. These voices belong to the souls of the dead, and the innocent. They can haunt you, torment you, and even try to kill you if they are strong enough. They are like air. They can't be seen. They can't be touched. They can be felt, but mostly through one's hearing. They glide in the air. The strong wind can stop them, and so can fire. Nature doesn't necessarily stop them, but anything too loud for you to hear them can temporarily stop them. And that is why they are called whispers. "If these voices, or whispers linger for long, they become translucent enough to be seen. The best way they are mirrored to reflect their past is through water, fire, and blood. Other elements like earth, and air do not permit these. But should the air grant them the ability to be seen, then, earth has no choice but to allow the

The Steeles

Neil, the cat, and the thousand men Anna gave to him landed on a solitary island called Red Hill. This is where the Steele sisters lived, and it was here Neil had come so he could associate himself with Rose, and know her weakness. The silence first greeted them, then they noticed how tidy the place was. The grasses were trimmed, no falling dead leaves reached the ground for they turned to ashes as they glided down, making their descent. The next thing that greeted the men was fire. Their ships exploded, and fire licked through the metals like wood. The roar of the flames drowned out the silence, but soon, they watched the sea accept what was left of the ship like an offering, and the silence returned.  Now, they knew they were not alone, and with that realisation, they

Claire

Claire stood by a corner in a large room, and she was staring blankly at the wall. Anna sat at the edge of a bed silently watching her, and Neil sat on the floor looking at his shoes, the cat was next to him. "She's filled with more surprise than I thought," Claire said. Anna looked at Claire. She hoped that with Claire's help, this threat would finally be put to bed. But deep down, even she didn't believe that. She had seen the dream. She knew who to fear. "What are we to do, Claire?" Claire in her visible ethereal form, said, "I wish I knew. Rose controls their bodies. With them on her side, I fear I can do very little." "But you're Claire," Rose reminded her. "You can turn an entire village, city, and nation to i

Battle Of Queens

Claire approached the grave of the man she had first loved with slow tentative footsteps. It had been a long time since she last saw him, but the memory of him wasn't a thing to fade so easily for he had been the one to break her heart the most. No one, not even her sisters had made her cry the way he had. He had tried to kill her. A thing she would never forget. Perhaps, she should leave him to his fate, and let him sleep. After all, he was the one that chose this state for himself. Claire turned to walk away with her head to the ground, and had taken a considerable distance from the grave when she raised her head to see Kathryn, Crystal, Gold, and Violet before her. Briskly turning to White's grave, she saw Rose looking pitifully on the resting place of her beloved. "You s

Sand Upon Sand

Claire tilted her hand to let the black sand fall to the earth. The sands around her moved, making her look around. Running like streams of water, sand came together, piling upon the sand, gradually rising, crafting the shape of a man. The sand began to fall off, returning to the earth, and the face of a man remained. When the rest of the sand fell off, all that was left was a man. This man was tall with gray eyes, white hair, a fine muscular build, and he was handsome. He stood looking through the misty form of Claire, and she looked back at him. "White!" Claire's voice echoed. He seemed not to recognize her. He looked at her with care, trying to remember. "White! It's me, Claire Steele." It was then his eyes brightened, and he gazed at her with amazement. "Claire?" White c

Blood Trade

The chattering and laughter coming from the company of fifty armed men were loud enough to wake up the dead buried around them if there were any, but mostly, their voices drowned out the silence of day on the lonely path they took. They walked on the creek road, too loud to hear the warnings of the crickets, and chirping birds, aiming for a vulnerable village on the other side of the hill, certain of what they would find. "Food is why we came," one jested. "You can't deny her breasts could satisfy me." Another said, "I'll go for the ass. It's fleshy and all..." He was caught off by the laughter of the men. "What?" "Good choice," some muttered. "Exactly. Not to mention the blood. That would be tasty," he added.

Peace

Randall's day began like any other. He had a quickie with his wife, helped his children prepare for school, bathed, dressed, and had his breakfast. He stepped out of the house, wished his kids goodbye, called the office, and was about to step into his car when his skin turned cold, reacting to the crispness of the weather. The sky turned dark, and the wind made his jacket come to life, stirring like a thing wishing to be tossed into the turbulence. Randall looked to the sky, and he saw a bright flash of fire that vanished behind dark clouds. There were bangs, and the crackling of thunder. Lightning flashed, and a storm attacked the calm ocean on the other side of the village. It was loud all around, it seemed the world was about to crack open and spew forth demons. The ground shook, then there were more repeated flashes of fire. It w

No Trust

"You won't stop, will you?" Anna asked, sitting by a table in the corner of her room.   Claire was standing by the window, looking at the open space just before the ocean. The sand was white, and the sun was bright. Both children and adults played on the beach, and at the edge of the ocean was waves upon waves drifting towards the shore and returning back to the sea.   "Ever asked yourself if she's this still?" Claire asked?   Anna thought for a moment. "Not that I know her, so I can't say." And she didn't know Rose. No one really could tell what went on in the heart of someone like Rose. "Look. You stopped her. You have your sisters now. Surely, you can put up a strong defense if she tries anything."   Claire shook

Gently Stirring

Rose turned and continued to tend to her garden. Fred looked at each rose. All healthy and red. A perfect snare for butterflies, bees, dragonflies, and any other insect or bird that dare venture into this place, including men. But he wasn't a man. He was a beast, one specifically designed for Rose's liking. "Where do your sisters stand in this?" Fred asked. Rose answered without looking at him, "They don't really have a choice. I still control their bodies. Claire knows that. At least, she's no fool about that. That's why when White seeks what she's sent him out to find, she will restrain my sisters and come to face me." She gave a side head gesture. "Then, I would surprise her." This was the most powerful family on

Speaking Things

Everything around Rose whispered. She was in a black gown seated by a table, her eyes weary, and expression sober from the multiple whispering complaints that came from the spoons, table, chairs, cups, and everything one could think of in a home. Shutting her eyes to the whispers, she said, "One at a time." "Who would go first?" a spoon asked. A knife standing on its edge moved, giving off a glint of the sun coming in through the window, and this caught Rose's gaze as the knife paused.  "You," Rose said, looking at the knife. "You go first." "Your Grace," the knife said with the voice of a man, "I didn't intend drawing attention to myself."
