smiles all around
Warning: mentions of blood Smiles all around as I sliced the cakes accordingly, this was a peaceful moment. Back into the dining room, I sat with three most important people in my life , all of us gathered at last- they deserved to be saved from their lives of torture of work. The night started of as laughter, food and reminiscing of past events and memories coating my brain with a sense of nostalgia and belonging. My light-coloured hair had been curled to perfection, my lips painted red showcasing my sparkling , innocent smile and my dress hugged my body tightly which caught the attention of John as I served up the meals. His lustful gaze flicked across my body repeatedly throughout the night, at least I had him hooked since the night began - it would make him more easy to surprise. During the meals, that sense of belonging soon changed to anger as Cassie recalled on a group memory of the previous night at the cinema...which I wasn't there for. I had been neglected once again. The familiar fearful feeling of anxiety and jealousy ignited in my stomach as I clenched my nails into the palm of my hand- but those marks can't ever be as permanent as the ever growing feeling of not belonging. Continuing their conversation, I excused myself to the kitchen to gather the cake and plates:

A Christ Dream
A Christ Dreamers *() means my thoughts April, 25 2020 My family and I were preparing for an event at my old barn house that we used to live in. At every family event, all the housewives and daughters would come and help cook and set up for the event. (They can survive without me) I had removed myself from helping the ladies to go watch, and play with the kids. It was getting darker outside and I had decided it was time to take all the kids inside. I wonder why hasn’t Kalena, Chelsea, and Jasmine arrived yet? Just as I was gathering the kids to go inside, I heard cars approaching my house. Kalena’s family and herself appeared, and so did Chelsea and her family. I ran to them, hugged them, and said, “Thank you, girls, that you guys can make it!”

Into the Shadows
A long time ago in a town called Hollow Creek, there lived a family of three. There was a husband, wife and their teenager Bell. Bell and her family just moved to Hollow Creek to start a new life. The town was small but it felt as though a presence was there. The town had their own theatre, town hall ,a high school and couple grocery markets. Her parents were always working and hardly at home. Her father worked in construction while her mother was a teacher. Bell always read her books and never had time to hang out with other teens especially at school. But things were about to change when she attends Hollow Creek High. To some it was an ordinary school but to others there was somethings that aren't meant to be spoken of. On Monday August 1, 1912 Bell had woken and got ready for school. She went downstairs and fixed herself some breakfast. It was a typical morning. Bell was used to the fact of waking up and her parents not being there. Her mother Clarice had left her note saying, "My darling, your lunch is in frig. Have fun on your first day of school but be careful. There are secrets that you do not need to know." Bell had open the frig and she was happy her mother packed her favorite lunch. She had left her house and went to school. When Bell got to school, she began to feel nervous. She was beginning to wonder how is she going to make friends in a new town. The school bell rang and it was time for her to get to her first class. On the way to her class, she had ran into a strange pale teen. She wasn't dressed like normal but she wasn't scary either. Bell wondered if that was her style but she stopped and said to herself..."I shouldn't judge already. Let them judge me. Give people a chance." When she did get to her class, her teacher came to her and told her she was running a little late to class. Bell had a sense there was something not right in this town and high school. Eight hours later the school bell had rang and she was headed home. As she was walking home, the same girl she ran into school came across her again. In a froggy voice, she said "be warned...the school is not a school. It's a trap full with secrets and lies." Bell felt a little weird around her but she also felt she was telling the truth. When Bell got home, her parents was waiting for her at the table. They both had asked how her day was. Bell said, "I ran into a girl I go to class with and told me something. She told me to be careful and that the school is nothing but lies and secrets. " Her parents both looked at her with worried look. Her mother, Beth, said "Just please be careful. She might be trying to scare you darling. " Bell said "I hope so. I just want to make sure that we are starting our life over and fresh. I just want to be able to live somewhere without worrying. " The next day, Bell decided to do some investigation at the school library. She had asked the librarian, "Excuse me, but where can i find the historical book of the school?" The librarian said " There are things you don't want to know. If i were you I'd stop looking for answers you don't want. Trust me ...some kids have tried to look but never came back. " Bell asked " Why? what happened to those kids? Where'd they go?" Librarian told Bell "If you must know the answer then look in the archive in the old library in the basement. A cautionary tale...once you seek the answer it may come back and haunt you. Please don't seek the answer you want. " "I thank you for your warning but I need to know. One teenager with dark long black hair and pale face and body had approached me yesterday and told me to leave while I can and don't find the truth" Beth told the Librarian. "There is no child of that description that attends here. But if you want to know or curious you can look in old archives. " Librarian said to Bell. Three days later had passed, and as soon as Bell thought things went back to normal, it took a wrong turn and strange things began to happen at school. Two kids went missing and no one seen them since yesterday at school. Bell had arrived at school and overheard their parents and sheriff talking. She couldn't help but wonder what was going on. Bell had no choice but to go to the old archives. As soon as she began to go to basement and into the old library, she saw some one standing in the shadow looking at her. The light began to flicker and she got a little scared but she kept going. Whatever or whoever was there that was looking at her followed her. As soon as the light went out and back on the shadow figure screamed "GET OUT!" Bell had ran out of there and back outside. The parents of missing kids and the sheriff had looked at Bell and wondered what happened. They had never seen Bell or anyone ran out scared like that before. Bell had went home and locked the door. "Maybe librarian was right. Maybe I shouldn't have went into the old archives." Bell wondered. She didn't know that the moment she said that her parents were standing behind her. Beth said, " Please tell me you didn't go into the old archives. " Bell told her mother "I had to. I had no choice . Kids were disappearing and no where to be found. I got curious and ....I ....I saw a dark shadow figure told me to get out. I feel as though something or someone had been woken." Beth explained, "Look honey..I did some digging earlier at work. This whole town was built on old native grounds and strange things began happening in 1890. They believed that particular that the high school was built on top of a strange burial that one woman died on that she haunts those that trespass her path. It also says that if kids began to be too curious they go missing and don't come back. They are not dead but they are not there either. If you keep looking for the answer you seek...i don't want you disappearing like they did. " It finally began to make sense to Bell. That's what Beth saw. She saw the same spirit twice trying to warn her not to venture into the unknown. The spirit wanted to rest in peace and not talked about. Two weeks later had passed and Bell has not explored the old archives. She felt as though that she knew it was best to stay out of there and never venture down into the old library. "To those that seek the unknow, be prepared to not come back. It is not the place of the people but it is the resting place of the old natives." Quote from the old text of the Ancients.

Living With A Murderer
There was a house in the middle of the woods. The trees would rustle in the wind, as it howled with the wolves standing on the edge of the cliff. Crickets chirped battling with the howling. Lots of trees were cut down so the mansion could be built and so the land could be used by the twins. The twins lived in the house, their father lived there too but he was barely home due to all of the business trips. He was always traveling and so the twins would always have to fend for themselves.

Stay Awake
“See you later, Dee.” Delilah’s friends hummed the farewell in unison like zombies. Some were stifling giggles and others could barely move their mouths. She had already made it halfway down the stairs before the door slammed behind her and the usually damp corridor was a welcome breath of fresh air compared to the stale and smoky space she had just escaped from.
