Zoe dug through the bin, reasonably at first but grew franticly the longer she went down. Kevin at first stood off, watching the clothes fly out the donation bin.

"He looks about 18, 2 years older than me." Ashika said shakily. The boy started to open his eyes with a groan. As he sat up, he clutched his neck in pain. Not realizing that about a minute ago he was dead, and a wolf.

Mrs.Chipley and Sally are at the front door soaking wet the moon was so close I felt like I could touch it. We knocked on the door someone was opening the door.

“Hey, hey, it’s okay,” Anne attempted to comfort the small child. The little girl ignored her and continued to peer in front of her. Anne followed the girl’s gaze, and what she saw made her wish she hadn’t.

A few months ago, my old school was going through its normal routine. The sky was clear blue like aquamarine, and the sun glittered faintly. We had been excused for lunch, and everyone went outside to eat. Me and my friends were all their talking, but I was talking to Alex,

Every step is heavy, as we reached the base of the hill, where a super steep incline awaits. We conquer it every year though each time, it feels less victorious. My brother took the lead, grabbing onto a thick plant to haul himself up. Going next, I grab the same vine, though it breaks, dropping me on the clotted earth. My legs become stuck with dirt, my sweat acting like an adhesive. Like the lovely person he is, Gabriel looked down and laughed, before giving me a hand and helping me up and over the incline, as displaced dust trickles down. To break the quiet I turn my embarrassment into his, making fun of his new girlfriend. “Why Bebe?” I quip, “Stella is so much prettier and smarter. And she’s actually your age.” Glaring at me, he hisses “Can you not. ” With this, a realization hit me: their budding romance had ended. And so soon! “Did you guys break up?” I ask, followed quickly by, “Now you can profess your love to Stella!,” before running ahead to avoid his furious gaze and swinging arms. His now ex-girlfriend, he didn’t even tell me about, instead, I found out through a post on Instagram, which I soon found out had been deleted.

Whoosh! Outside the windows of her apartment, the branches kept swaying back and forth. Alexandria woke up from her sleep and kept listening to the sound. She looked out the window to see the darkness of the night and she touched the leaves of the branches. The leaves were smooth and shaped like an oval, yet with one ascending edge. The air was humid and she smelled the lilies from the ground below.

through the peephole. He first notices a shiny star badge on a bulky mid 40s man and a big cowboy hat looking down at his shoes.Tanner slowly opens the door see two dark hazel eyes of remorse. He says “ Can I help you officer”

Waiting, she stared out the window of the back door. Where was her husband? Where were her children? She hated it when they were late. Her rotten husband knew it too. She paced back and forth going toward the living room and doubling back.

David stumbles out of his bed and onto his feet. Takes a moment to balance himself without the wall, then stumble his way to the out of the cell. He remembers when he was in this cell last time. It was a long time ago, when he was young and innocent and didn’t realise how horrible this world is. He was here to pick up his younger brother, Jerry, who had taken out his mum's car when he was only 15. They had a promise that David would never tell their parents as long as Jerry didn’t pull another stunt like that again. The parents always worried about Jerry as he was the trouble maker at school and didn’t care about school. Not like David anyway. David was accepted into Oxford, and was squeaky clean. He never did anything wrong, he was a smart kid. But he is a different person now. If you told his parents he would end up like this, they would die of shock. Age has changed him, he has experienced a lot and has anger growing inside him.

"Well if it isn't Austin in the flesh, come back crawling here I see?" She said; her voice was soothing almost like I knew her and that I could trust her. "I'm sorry, but I don't think I'm the guy you're talking about" I said "What are you talking about Austin? We've been friends for 5 years! Now all of a sudden you pretend you don't even know your own name? This isn't funny!" Her face was red with rage. "I'm sorry to say but this isn't a joke. I don't even know my own name let alone your name. I woke up somewhere and next thing I knew I was running away from cops" I tried to explain. She turned on the lights and it was burning my eyes as they adjusted. She had red long flowing hair, a blue V-neck t-shirt and a white skirt with black high heel boots that went to her knees. “Austin! What happened you’re covered in blood! Oh my goodness! What happened to you?!” She said as she threw her hands in the air. “I.. I’m not sure I just woke up in... It’s hard to explain.” I tried to explain. “Well first get changed into those clothes, you don’t want to be seen looking like that do you?” “No” I said as I walked into the bathroom.

Leaves crunched lightly with every precise step June took. Clutching her bag even tighter, she continued down the dirt trail. Her hands were pressed snugly against her cream sweater, bringing additional warmth in the frigid morning air. A breeze blew her fiery orange hair into her eyes, and she brushed it away. Glancing around, she took in the warm colors of fall painted around her.

The following morning, Tomas’ alarm went off and I jumped up running out his door; I ran into his dad “Good morning Casey.” I smiled “Good morning.” He continued down the hall to the staircase; I went to my room and got ready for school. Tomas came in the doorway “Hey. Go ahead and take a shower first, I’m going to go eat something.” I nodded my head “That’s fine.” He smiled and left; I got in the shower.

“ Sorry, Dawn! I guess I am a little late. Oh, and by the way, you are now on plain grain. We are giving your champion feed to Ringo now, with twice the apples. We think he needs and deserves it more that you do. I hope you understand!”

The girls peered through the window watching the worn SUV crunch down the gravel driveway. Their family has gone into town for the day, but the girls decided to stay at the cabin.
