Ricky enjoyed sleep very much. Ever since he turned thirteen, it seemed that he could never get enough of it. Unfortunately, the environment he lived in wasn't particularly conducive for this habit. "WAKE UUUUUUP!!!" His eyelids cracked open just in time for him to feel twin weights land on his back, crushing any dreams he might have had of sleeping in that day, along with his spine. "Get up, get up, get up, Riri! Get up, get up, get up!" high pitched voices commanded, the aforementioned weights bouncing in tandem with the screeching. He groaned loudly into his pillow, ears twitching, before rolling to the side, sending his brother and si

The stars were singing. Violet couldn't see them, but she knew they were there; she just had to find them. She eagerly wound her way through the forest of vines that blocked her path, sometimes getting caught and having to untangle herself. Why were there so many? She couldn't even see where they were hanging from, but that didn't seem to matter much. Her path was suddenly much clearer, and the vines didn't seem so menacing anymore. Instead, they happily offered her their arms and led her the rest of the way. There, just up ahead. She could just barely make out their lovely light, and their sweet voices gently tugged her forward. She smiled

WARNING: MILD SPOILERS FOR THE BOOK "HALF BREED" BY ~Zvart (https://www.deviantart.com/zvart) Tara was not sure what to make of her surroundings. One minute, she was lying in bed, completely bored out of her mind, the next, the bed disappeared and she found herself lying on a very unfamiliar stone floor, disorientation the most prominent thing on her mind. It probably didn't help that the searing pain in her side from her wounds was making her vision spin and fade, nor all the bright lights that seemed to surround her. "Alright, Tara, focus. There could be enemies nearby. Ruya, do you sense anything?" She waited a moment, but there was no reply. "Ruya? That isn't funn

Tony crept quietly across the counter, carefully maneuvering around the various utensils and utilities that had been abandoned there. The human who owned them was currently taking a nap in an adjacent room, and it wouldn't do at all for her to awake to the sound of clattering metal. He peered over the edge at the unsettlingly distant floor, then across the gap from the counter to the island. He frowned, not remembering it being quite so wide, before retreating back about fifteen feet. He took a deep breath through the nose and took of running, launching himself of the edge. He just barely made it. Sending out a silent 'thank-you' for rough

"Oh, you have got to be kidding me!" Jordan shouted as his bag caught and ripped on a thorn bush, spilling its contents. Candy bars, granola bars, some other kind of bar, and bags of trail mix all spilled out. He held out the now useless bag, glaring at the large tear. "Well this is just great," he growled, gathering the snacks up and shoving as many of them as possible into the other pocket of the bag. It still left quite a bit left over, which he proceeded to stuff into his pant pockets. There was still some left over even from that and he was left staring at his hands, feeling utterly ridiculous that so simple a problem was causing so much

It was a perfect day for an adventure. The sun was shining, a breeze was blowing, and best of all, the beans were out, leaving their giant beast restrained to the back yard. "This is a really, really, really bad idea," Darcy repeated to her brother for the third time in as many minutes. She didn't know why she'd let him talk her into this, but now she was seriously regretting it. "Oh, come on Darcy, lighten up and live a little. It'll be fun!" "Dean, I don't know what your definition of fun is, but mine does not include being eaten alive by a puppy." The two young borrowers were currently crouched behind the porch stairs of the huge bean
