4th of July

Today is the fourth of July or Independence Day for those us living in America. My family is probably going to do something that I need to attend and I am also attending my first Con (began yesterday and goes through tomorrow). So I will provide you with a poem to read and then we can continue our day/weekend activities.

Blue light filters through my window

In the mornings

The smell of SPF 75 and Aloe

Follow me around

The Cold is replaced by Hot

But the complaint remains

Thick coats are put away

Bathing suits are dusted off

All of this signals the beginning

Of the lemonade days

Of the parasol months

This is the beginning of summer

Tired

School has completely killed my brain this week so I won't be writing a new Calypso's Rage segment today. I'm going to curl up into a ball and sleep while you enjoy this thing I wrote a while ago.

Rose fall into the water

Plick

    Plick

Plick

    Plick

Their petals grow heavier

As water rushes to get on them

Slowly

Silently

Petal by petal

They are dragged under

And sink to the bottom

Halloween Special - Abyss

Last day of the Halloween special, since the last one was short this one is longer. Its the start of the rewrite of a story I did before, really its just the parts of the previous story I want to keep. If you want to read more say so in the comments and I'll do so once Purple Moon is done.

Abyss

    There once was a village that was well established and untroubled by the issues of its country when a girl was born. The girl was like many other kids in the village, she ran around playing games and learning from others. But unlike other kids she had the potential to become a powerful light user and it had been decided that she would become the next village protector.

    When she was old enough to speak clearly and walk properly her village burned down and the girl was the sole survivor of it all. Government scientists passing through the area found her covered in soot and minor burns, sitting in the charred remains of her home. They took her to the secret lab that they worked at and she became a part of their experiments in magic.

    They were not planning to pick up more kids when they found her so, despite her potential in light magic; they suck her in the dark class which was always in need of more orphans. The dark class experiments were harsh and kids died easily. New kids were brought in often and old ones disappeared just as frequently. No one made friends so the kids retreated into themselves. The girl was no exception. By her third month there the girl had forgotten her own name.

    A couple months after the girl could no longer remember her own name, the scientists found rare sample of Darkness. It ate all light and killed any light class kid immediately. When they decided to try it on a Dark Class kid they picked the girl. To the girl it was like any other experiment: done in a white room on a table with straps in case they were needed with equipment and scientists. It wasn’t until they injected the girl with a piece of the sample, that things started to go wrong.

    Pain tore through her system in pulses until it synced with her heartbeat. Her vision blurred and the girl screamed. The sound of cracking filled her ears, which was the sound of her identity breaking. Her vitals stopped and her vision went black. That is when the girl came to visit me. I found her interesting since she survived an injection of my power.

    Lost in the darkness she didn't cry or call out for help. So I offered her the power that she had already been tainted with. She had been broken and didn't fully understand but she accepted anyway. She could never go back to who she was before but I helped her build an identity and once she could fully comprehend what I was offering, I told her the rule that all those under my care live by: consume or be consumed.

    Even knowing that she would be consumed one day she still accepted my offering. I told her the way back and she left. She is older now and remains unconsumed. But when she comes again I so believe it will be the last time.

Halloween Special - Short Story

Happy Halloween everyone I hope you enjoy a fantastical evening filled with frights, sweets or maybe even both. Today I am doing a short story since I am busy doing things, maybe if I get done quick enough I will add another one. Enjoy!

The Empty House

    At the end of our block sits an empty house. Its made of dark wood that hasn't been painted for a while. The lawn is brown and weeds have spread into the cracks of the concrete. Parents always tell there kids to stay away from the house but sneaking into the empty house was the best test of courage a kid could ask for.  It was considered especially brave to go on Halloween night when the house was rumored to no longer be empty.
    From the outside it looks the same as always but if you go in it is not the same at all. The lights will be on and the house decorated like it was when it was in use. It is said that if you enter you not only get to see what it use to look like but you will get to meet the old residents.
    But beware that you don't stay to long and get caught in the trap. For everything you see in that house is an illusion and not all of those that died want to say that way. They will try everything they can to be living again even kidnap a body.
    So if you do go in on Halloween make sure that you come back out. Because you might become the newest resident of that illusion.

Halloween Special - Pantoum

I'm doing a Halloween special for the next three days and up first is a pantoum (I think I spelled that wrong). I don't plan on doing specials for every holiday but if there are holidays you want me to do tell me and I will do to them.

Night Predator

The world turns red

In the black night

My heart has stopped

But I still breathe

In the black night

Pain covers my skin

But I still breathe

Beneath the Earth

Pain covers my skin

As a thin mask

Beneath the Earth

My blood runs cold

As a thin mask

My humanity crumbles

My blood runs cold

Revealing a predator

My humanity crumbles

My heart has stopped

Revealing a predator

The world turns red

Writing

I'm going to my local theme park today and I'm going to be there all day. Instead of doing a new Purple Moon segment, I'm going to do a piece that I've done recently and I will continue Purple Moon next week.

This about two of my character meeting, Rose is an old concept and Rai has her own novel that I'm working on editing.

 I shortened it so it wasn't super long so somethings may be confusing.

-Rose B.

    A girl walks down the street dressed in black. Annoyance and dark energy radiate from her as she grumbles to herself. She bumps into a girl with bright red hair and matching eyes. The dark girl goes to move on but the red head grabs her arm with supernatural speed.

    "Aren't you going to apologize" she growls

    A girl behind the red head speaks "Rose, leave it. Your in a bad mood don't take it out on others"

    "Shut it, Jojo. I want an apology" Rose snaps

    The dark girl interupts "Look, I have somewhere I have to be why don't you let go and we'll pretend this never happened."

    "And if I say no" Rose replies

    The girl laughs darkly "You don't want to"

    Rose's eyes sparkle "Is that a challenge"

    "If you want it to be but you won't win"

    Faster than the natural eye could track Rose pulls out a sword and sticks it in the other girl's stomach.  The other girl sighs with annoyance and the smirk drops from Rose's face.

    The girl pulls out the sword and grunts "You've got skill but this won't kill me" she flicks her blood off the blade before handing it back "Now if you'll excuse me my brother is expecting me"

    She melts into the crowd and once she is gone Rose looks at Jojo "She wasn't even fazed."

    "Maybe she can help us"

    "I don't want help from her"

    "Rose..."

    Rose grinds her teeth "Fine"

RAI~~RAFE

    "You're late" Rakar called as I entered the house

    "Not my fault. I was held up"

    Rakar comes down the stairs. He raised an eyebrow at the hole in my shirt "What exactly held you up"

    I headed for the kitchen "Sword in the stomach"

    Rakar followed me "Start from the begining"

    I grabbed some gummy bears and explained what happened.

    He sighed when I was done "I've never heard of someone like that, ask Key about it tomarrow"

    I shrugged "If it will make you feel better, now if you'll excuse me I'm going to bed"

    My eyes shot open and I kicked a person off me. I put my hand to my neck and it came away slick with blood. I stared dumbfounded at the red head who was starting to stand. I spotted matching liquid covering her chin and mouth.

    "You bit me! You freaking bit me!"

    "If it makes you feel better your blood is like a super sweet drink mixed with poison"

    I got out of bed "Serves you right"

    I exited my room and pounded on Rakar's door "We have visitors"

    I took our unexpeced guests to the living room as soon as they sat down the red head asked "What are you. Your blood doesn't tast like a human or vampyr"

    "So that's what you are" Rakar said, appearing in the doorway.

    She nodded and I answered her question "Raphael and I are Nightmares"

ROSE~~JOJO

    "What is a Nightmare" I asked

    "The simple version is a vampyr would eats dreams instead of blood"

    "And changes shape" The boy, Raphael,  added

    "So why did you stalk Rai, she can be a pain but not that bad" Raphael asked

    Rai glared at him and Jojo answered "When we woke up yesterday nothing was the same"

    Rai rolled her eyes "Congratulations you traveled dimentions"

    "Lovely" I replied, sarcasticly "How do we get back home"

    "Rai can take you"

    "You'll have to bring me back" she responded

    "Fine by me, let go into the backyard where there is more room" He shrugged

    We followed them and at Rai's request we held her hand. She closed her eyes and a wind started up.

RAI~~RAFE

    "I'm going to travel now and whatever you do don't let go of my hand" I shouted over the wind

    Their grips tightened and there was a flash of light and my stomach dropped, then we were in another dimention. I opened my eyes and saw we were standing on a table. The people around us looked unhappy.

    "Is this correct" I asked and the red head nodded "Well then my job is done"

    I spotted a door and headed towards it. I was almost there when I felt something dig into my back. I pulled out the foreign object and saw it was a dagger.

    "What is it with you guys and weapons"

    Rose chuckled "Its alright guys she's with me"

    The tension in the air calmed "I'm going to tell Raphael to bring me back"

    "How is that possible."

    "Because were twins, but don't tell anyone its supose to be a secret. Maybe we'll see each other again."

    "Maybe" she agreed

    I felt a pull in my head and I heard my name spoken "Raishka" The room vanished and replaced with the kitchen. 

    Rakar held out a mug of hot chocolate "You're late"
