A/N- Hi peoples! I'm really sorry that this ones late... and shorter than the others... and.. yeah. Sorry.
I'm extremely busy as of right now, getting ready to go on a trip, so life's kinda crazy right now. At least, that's my excuse.
Hope you like this little chapter, and I promise to have the next one up soon!
If you recognize it, it probably ain't mine.
Obsession
Boxy had his boxes. Skulker had his hunting. Ember had her music. Walker had his rules.
I had my city, and the need to protect it.
Highlight
He'd saved the world that day. He'd told his parents that day. He'd been accepted that day. He'd become a hero that day.
But the highlight of that day would always be when he kissed her.
Necklace
It was pretty, that golden chain with the emerald dangling from it. But since it'd turned his best friend into a dragon and forced him to fight her, he didn't like it all too much.
Orphaned
The boy stared up at him with tear-filled hazel eyes, and he wrapped his arms around the boys shaking form. Over the boy's shoulder, Danny could see the burning house collapse with a terrifying WHOOSH.
The little boy shook even harder, and Danny felt the guilt settle in his chest. Even if he had saved the child and his older sister, he hadn't been able to stop them from becoming orphans.
Curtains
Sam found that the only time she truly enjoyed sweeping back her curtains was when her boyfriend was knocking on her window.
Enough
I can feel the cut reopen as Dash's fist connects with my ribs. I close my eyes, hoping that no one can see the crimson-acid mixture soaking into my shirt.
I really shouldn't have closed my eyes.
There's a sharp, sickening crack as his hand slams into my face, and I'm almost positive my nose is broken. Again.
"Are you a coward, Fenton?" He doesn't add anything to my name, but he says it like it makes him want to gag.
Who is he to call me a coward? Who is he to think he knows me?
"Maybe I should've gone after you're dark little girlfriend, huh? At least she would've put up a fight!"
He wouldn't dare.
I opened my eyes, which hurt, only to see him grinning down at me.
"I think I will, you loser."
I spot Sam down the hallway, just coming out of her class, and see the predatory smile on Dash's face.
Something in me snapped. I'd had enough of this idiot. He wasn't touching her, ever.
Before I knew what I'd done, I'd thrown Dash across the hallway. Into the lockers. Hard enough to leave a Dash sized dent in the metal doors.
Ah, well.
Ring
He'd found out pretty fast he couldn't wear rings. There was something about super-hot ecto-plasma that made the metal melt.
But, Sam was just as happy seeing the wedding band glistening on a chain around his neck.
Mountains
He sat on the highest of the trees on the highest of mountains surrounding Amity, and sighed. It was beautiful, it was bright, and it was lovely. The sky above it was the brightest of blues. The clouds, which were scarce, were of the palest white. The air was fresh and clean. He loved his city, but he thought it looked even better from above than when he was sitting in the mountains.
Circus
They'd had one in town before, and his last experience hadn't been the best.
Not even Tucker mentioned going to the circus this time.
Cloud
She'd smiled at me like she was thinking about something that would make me both mad and unable to resist her at the same time.
That was when she wrenched herself out of my arms and thrown herself downward and through the cloud below us that I figured out what she was thinking about.
By the time I'd reached her she was soaked through and smiling that exhilarated smile that made her eyes sparkle and her face look like it was going to split in half, and she wrapped her arms around me, even when I tried to send her a stern glare.
She knew what she was doing, as we ended up being late for class anyways.
Worm
He'd always thought that worms were harmless.
That was until he'd had to fight a ten foot long, glowing worm the size of a bus.
Luminous
The power in the house went off. The candles wouldn't stay lit to save their lives. The backup flash lights weren't working the way they should have. They'd eventually given up and stumbled their way upstairs to their bed room, where they both laid there listening to the sound of crickets outside their open window and staring into each other's eye, which were as luminous in the dark as the full moon was in the clear sky outside.
I need suggestions guys, and lots of them. The next couple chapters are going to wrap this thing up, as I need to focus on my other stories, but I'll still update this one sporadically.
This isn't the last chapter. The next one won't be the last chapter. But, it is, my friends, getting closer.
Reviews are better than hot chocolate, and suggestions are better than hot chocolate with marshmallows.
