If you have any ideas, questions, or critiques, I will be glad too know them. Please don't take this from me, I like to keep my stuff. First story, I hope you like it!


I'm standing on the water in a timeless place. The sky is there, but not. Gleaming pinpoints of light above, murky from the ice-like sky. I walk, watching the ripples I cause. I don't see any purpose here. When I'm about to turn around to find the shore, I hear a voice. My voice.

I turn quickly to find a girl, partly submerged in the water, only her shoulders showing. She has white bandages, like blindfolds over her eyes, and she shows no emotion in her features, and there is blood dripping down her face running from under the cloth over her eyes. And I realize that she is me.

Every time a drop of blood hits the surface of the water, a delicate flower appears in place of the blood.

"W-what?" I stutter.

"Help Me." she says again.

She slowly walks out of the water, like she is walking up steps, and grasps my face.

"Find the child of Night." she says and disappears.

I wake shivering, and crawl out of bed to check the time. 6:00 am, great. I go to my bathroom to shower, and see a flower in my hair. The same flower that i saw on the water. I carefully take it out, and set it on the counter.

Fully dressed, I grab my lunch and keys, noting that my dad had already left. I get in my car, and start backing out when i realize that i forgot my backpack. I turn off the car, and pause at the strangest sight. My backpack. In front of my car.

Okay?

When I get there all I hear is a lot of shouting. I get out, and my best friend spots me almost immediately and hurries towards me.

"Bella, someone started a fight with Tyler!" she says anxiously.

I follow her to the scene in time to see Tyler's assailant pull a gun from their pocket. A few people scream and duck for cover, but the rest watch as he pulls the trigger.

After a few moments of my ears ringing, get down and pull the nearest person down with me. The shooter.

I heard the bullet get clicked into the chamber, and i scrambled to get up. I was halfway up when i felt a piercing pain in my stomach, my ears ringing from the shot. I collapse and start drifting off from the pain, and I felt two hands cradling my face.

"Protect yourself, it is not meant to end like this." she whispered.

I open my eyes to see the girl from my dream hovering above me, cradling my face.

I cough as my body rejects the bullet, pushing it out and mending.

The sound of wind roaring in my ears as i sat up let me hear nothing. My gaze searched the courtyard, finding Tyler's body, a bloody bullet near me, people trying in vain to hide. My gaze lands on the shooter.

I stand up slowly, and walk towards him, the sound of wind getting louder, as i walk towards him steadily. He smirks, and shoots, but the bullets never land because they are stopped for a moment, then dropped. He starts backing away from me, and drops the gun.

Glowing runes appear all around me in beautiful patterns every time i move. Ice shards swirl around the shooter in a deadly wind before they engulf him quickly in their embrace. His scream is cut short and the ice slowly melts in the heat of the sun.

I fall down beside Tyler and wait for blissful darkness to consume me.
