#. Title (Author) -Length: m:s

1. Dum Diddly (Black Eyed Peas) - Length: 4:19

The single robber ran fast as his feet could carry him, various twigs and branches whipping his face pink. He panted audibly, despite his efforts to stay quiet. His feet ached and his body was weary to the core; he couldn't stop running. Not now, not so very close to the border. If he wasn't in the same fief, then he couldn't legally be chased, could he? The arrow that whizzed past his head told the robber that the Ranger behind him didn't care one bit.

Halt was in hot pursuit.

The robber tripped over an unseen root and, with a show of flailing his arms wildly, fell to the ground. Scrambling his feet in a hurry to get away, he felt an iron grip seize his collar and he knew he was good as gone.

The short ranger held him up to his face, fierce grey eyes smoldering holes into the groveling robber.

"P-please! Don't kill me! Ha-Have mercy!" The robber managed in a hoarse whisper.

Halt showed his teeth. "Why in the world would I do something like that?"

2. Leave Out All the Rest (Linkin Park) Length - 3:20

Wil looked deep into Alyss's eyes. He saw the blame, the hate, the distrust in them. Alyss saw the honesty in his.

"I'll be back. It won't be like last time...I promise." Will threw on his cloak with one swipe of his arm. He mounted Tug, still gazing at Alyss. The Ranger looked her up and down, and found his voice. "I know that this hurts both of us. But it must be done." He nodded at the blonde girl, and rode into the night.

Alyss whispered one word.

"Traitor."

3. We Will Rock You (Queen) - Length: 2:02

Horace looked at his rag-tag group of knights, most of which had only just completed their second-year training. He sighed, knowing someone was going to have to command them.

"Men," He adressed, the shock of his firm voice through the eery stillness startling them. "Everyone here knows that it is our duty to go and fight whatever the hell is out there. We may even be the only ones left alive." He shifted his eyes around the ceiling, trying to listen for footsteps or any other sound of human life.

Maleki, a third-year apprentice, gripped his sword and smirked wickedly.

"Let's show those Pictish scum whose boss."

4. Imma Be (Black Eyed Peas) Length- 4:16

Gilan hopped onto the back of the carriage, unseen and unheard by its inhabitants. His eyes narrowed as he looked through a small crack in the wood. He saw the usual band of robbers, ruffians and rejects, making loud and inapropriate jokes. The whole carriage shook with laughter, the men showing their ugly teeth.

All except for one feminine hmmph!

A man turned toward the noise, noting the captive blonde in the corner. "Whats so wrong, missy?" He chuckled devilishly. "Ever heard a joke?"

She regarded him with a smoldering, critical look. "I'm very familiar with jokes, as I like good humour. That last remark was very primitive, I believe."

His grin faded. "I don't think I'm enjoying your company any more, girlie." He scoffed. "Take care of her." He jerked his thumb at a similarly grizzly man, who seemed all to eager to pull out his knife.

Gilan smashed through the flimsy wood with a kick, and grasped his sword firmly.

"No one touches Jenny," He threatened.

5. Let It Be (The Beatles) Length- 3:50

Halt held the crumpled, pale body close to his chest. He made no attempt to hide the tears that fell freely, his face lost of all usual composure. Halt looked again to the familiar body as another sob racked his shoulders.

Will eyes were open, though there was no life in them. His gray face showed no sign of warmth, or that any sort of joy had been there to begin with. The small form that Halt was used to was so terribly thin, his ribs showed blatantly through the flesh, his frail chest no longer moving.

Evanlyn moved to Halt's side as he cradled the boy, Horace nearby with his head in his palms.

"He's in pain no longer," Evanlyn couldn't bear to meet Halt's painful gaze.

In the corner, Horace wept silently.

6. Decode (Paramore) Length- 4:22

Horace took a tentative step away from Cassandra, careful not to disrupt what little sanity she had left.

"Cassie..." He spoke clearly, trying to ease her nerves by using her nickname. "You don't have to do this. Now set that thing down." He gulped and his gaze flicked to the gleaming blade in her hand.

With a violent shriek, the princess launched herself at the tall knight, knife and all. Horace yelped in shock, and dove to one side. He panted, staring at his wife through an expression of panic. "Are you mad?" He barked, trying desperately to stand up.

Cassandra cocked her head to one side, her eyebrows scrunched with confusion."Horace, why must you be so very loud? You're going to wake the baby." She pointed with her knife to the cradle on the other end of the room, soaked with blood.

7. Spotlight (Mute Math) Length- 3:20

Will noted the looks that the captives gave him, eyes wide with fear above the cloths that covered their noses and mouths. He tried a reassuring look, and saw his reflection in the water. It was frightening. He shook his head clear of it and ran to the nearest woman, whose screams came out in muffles and tears wetted the gag.

"It's alright," He said, making his best lopsided grin. "I'm not like the rest of them." He loosened her gag, and it fell to her shoulders. "Who did this to you?" He asked seriously. The captive gulped, unsure if to trust him, when their attention was turned to the front of the cave.

"That would be me," Meralon smirked.

8. 5 Years Time (Noah and the Whale) Length- 3:34

The meadow was beautiful. The wind blew gently throughout the small area of peace, whispering sweet promise of wildflowers and birdsong.

Will remembered Alyss' words: "Take care of her. I know you will." She smiled that beautiful, radiant smile that melted Will's heart.

Then she was gone.

It had been ten years since Alyss left, and yet Will still remembered the day as clearly as when it happened. Her eyes gleamed with that special witty light, her lips pink as the roses that grew near the cabin.

His thoughts were momentarily interrupted as he heard a small, sweet voice sing across the grasses:

"Daddy! Come on!"

Will couldn't help the smile that spread on his face as he walked across the roots and grass, smelling the sweet spring air.

He held his daughter's hand as they both continued their stroll in the secret meadow.

For the first time in ten years, Will thought life was looking up.

9. Dinosaur (Ke$ha) Length- 2:55

Pauline sat in her green cushioned chair, her hair up in a messy bun. She wore a plain gown, and had forgotten to apply her makeup this afternoon. Halt, as he stepped through the door, still caught his breath as he looked at his beautiful wife. He was about to comment on her dress, until he saw what was in her hands.

A small bottle of pink nail polish, held delicately between two fingers.

Halt regarded the small bottle with somewhat of a frown. He looked at her fingernails, most of which were covered in the like color.

"You have the nerve to bring pink into our home?" Halt asked accusingly. Pauline smiled.

"We all have to make sacrifices." She screwed the lid to the bottle and gently started to blow on her nails.

Halt sniffed. "Personally, you look better in violet," Halt muttered.

10. Raise Your Glass (Pink) Length- 3:23

Will couldn't quite remember the first time he had started to think of Alyss as anything more than just his friend. He shocked when, one day, he came to the sudden realization that Alyss was female, and a quite attractive one at that. He shook his head, as if to clear the thought, and continued on with his day.

It was a couple years later, only a few months before the Choosing. Will and Alyss were to go for a walk along the woods, a place of peace and quiet for both of them. Will rapped silently on Alyss's door and, without asking, walked in. Alyss was slipping on her boots, and noticed Will in the doorway. "I'll be out in aminute," She called, looking to Will's face.

But Will hadn't been looking at her face, or paying attention to her voice at all. As she was holding up her leg to put on her footwear, a fold of her skirts fell to reveal most of her leg. Will found himself unable to look away, noticing how delicately curved and shapely her legs were. After a few seconds, Alyss cleared her throat. "A-hem. Will?"

His head snapped up and she tugged her boot onto her foot, the cloth falling back to its original place a couple inches above her ankles. "Oh-Um, Yeah, right. Few minutes. Got it." Will smiled quickly, almost hurriedly, and dashed out the door. When he was out of earshot and around the corner, he leaned against the wooden wall. What had happened back there? His throat seemed clogged up, his heart beat faster, and he could feel the slightest bit of sweat on his forehead.

His heart fluttered in his chest as he thought of Alyss, that he rather liked seeing Alyss, and that he was strangely drawn to gazing at her finely sculpted legs.

He shook his head and walked out the door. "Must've been something I ate," He reasoned.

Aaaaaand that concludes our service broadcasting. Woah, what the heck happened there? First I'm killing Will, almost killing Jenny, making Cassandra go crazy and kill babies, then Alyss leaves Will! The last one was all sunshine and butterflies, and now I'm killing infants for Chrissake! Well, whatever. I didn't get as good song chioce as last time, so my stories aren't as good as the last batch. But I think these have a certain new feel to them, and I'm glad I got to do this again. I'm gonna have to do it whenever I have writers block, or whatever.

My favorite? Number 2 or Number 6.
