The three girls lock up their houses‚ kiss their parent’s goodbye and drive. To where you ask? To freedom. The pretty kind. As far as the eye can see is a sea of green canopies. Here and there silver gulley’s thread themselves into the deep gorges of the forests. The sun winks down from the heavens reflecting‚ off the water so it shines like jewels. A whole day of complete beauty. Arie sits hunched against the earthen wall‚ face smothered by her folded knees. She is breathing. Just barely. Her

Every religion‚ he had heard of so far in his life‚ left little to no place for women as an equal. He was more sad than surprised to learn that even the old gods seemed to be chauvinist pigs."So‚ Jude‚ was your bad boy? The one that pushed you to doubt? You know‚ the more you talk about him‚ the more I like him. I can see why you are so attached to him." He confessed

After Kathleen jumped out the window‚ (suprisingly unhurt despite the three floor drop)‚ I rush to Lucy and tell her to go hide. She runs to my closet and hides on the top shelf while I shut the oak door‚ tightening the fastening to secure her safety further. As soon as I run over ad sit on my bed‚ my dad slams the door open with so much force it almost came off its hinges. I just sit there with out a ounce of emotion in my eyes or on my face.

It wouldn’t be so hard if I knew who or what I was. I wouldn’t feel so….empty. Perhaps I could even feel joy. But that shall never be. At least‚ not as I am now. My eyebrow twitched at the cliché scene before me. Not from anger but the sheer annoyance of its stupidity. Dantalion‚ my dear friend‚ had once again lost his head. It isn’t the most appealing sight to see a headless body tripping over its own feet trying to get around‚ but I suppose by now I should be used to it. “You idiot where did you

I hum along to their melody‚ but it’s more of a whistle on my end due to the tubes inserted between my nostrils but still‚ a sweet noise. I hear someone trotting down the hall‚ accompanied by the clickety clack of a moving cart. There is a knock at the door. “Hello in there? Am I to find a Miss Julianne or a parakeet sleeping in the bed
