《Claimed By Darkness》CHAPTER 6

"Why are you here? The Gods hardly ever come down to Earth." I say to Caspian, I climbed out of the window and softly closed it behind me. Sitting opposite to Caspian.
"Listen sweetheart, I do not have a lot of time. So listen."
"Okay."
"I know you have a lot of questions.."
"Yeah no shit! Why did you choose me?!"
"There's that fire I like! Anyway, that's not why I'm here. I am here to warn you."
"About what?"
"About some of your classmates, when your powers develop you're going to be the strongest one in this academy. Stronger than your teachers." Caspian says calmly.
"So what?" I mutter.
"So, people are going to get jealous. They're going to want to do harm you, or something much worse. But you're strong Odette, fierce, powerful. Don't forget that."
"Why did you come here to tell me this?" I ask carefully.
"I wanted to help you, but I'm not allowed to help directly. So that's why I'm telling you this. Trust your gut and make sure you're around people you can trust." He says before standing up.
I stand up as well, "I need more information, on other things."
"I'll explain later, I don't have time right now."
A second later he's gone, I rake my hands through my messy hair and climb back inside my dorm. This was going to be an interesting year.
----
A week later during my English lesson I felt the burning again, Jude told me that he feels tonnes of emotions and thoughts as he walks through school. We both often go to hang out at the library, away from everything. I haven't told him I met Caspian yet, but I do tell him about the burning and the small surges of energy I feel. I was sitting next to him in English right now.

"I'm burning." I whisper to him as our teacher continues talking about Macbeth. Jude touches my forehead but then flinches at the heat and pulls away.
"No fucking way." He says sarcastically, I roll my eyes. "Do you need to go have a shower or something?"
"No, I'll be fine." But I'm not fine, the burning gets worse. I end up taking off my school sweater and try to calm my breathing down. I'm still wearing my gloves and I have the urge to just rip them off. But then a pang of energy erupts throughout my entire body. I start to shake in my seat.
"Odette? Are you alright dear?" Ms Reyes my teacher asks me.
"I need to go." I announce as I grab all my stuff and run out of the room. I hear some people giggling as I hastily run down the corridor. I run straight into the dormitory bathrooms and jump into the freezing cold shower while I still had all my clothes on. The burning was slowly stopping and I sighed in relief.
"Ew what the hell are you doing?" I whip my head around to see Penelope, who was also in the same dorm as me. I heard someone talking about her on the first day I was here, she wanted to be claimed by Aria... and guess what? She was.
"Sorry, it's just that with my powers developing I start to feel as if I'm burning-"
"I don't care!" She cuts me off harshly and I narrow my eyes at her. What was her problem? "Just get out." She says as she crosses her arms.
I step out of the shower soaking wet, I grab a towel from the cupboard and go back to my dorm. I hurriedly change out of my wet uniform and replace it with a clean one. I check the time to see it's time for lunch. Perfect.

Vast Asleep
The story of Kingard the Binder in the aftermath of Broken This short story is the epilogue of Broken, the second book of the Chronicles of Mother's Gate series. It’s a great follow-up to the novel, a bonus story that adds extra layers but is set apart from the full-length narrative. Vast Asleep follows the story of Kingard, who finds himself caught in a world called Mother's realm, bathed in glowing light but strangely stuck in place. He encounters his greatson Varyan there, and learns that his experiences are likely dreams. As he grows more accustomed to the loving realm around him, Kingard remembers fear and trepidation about the face of the world, and he loses contact with his companion. This story answers the question, Is Kingard really dead? with a tentative no, and new mysteries brewing. It also raises the question, What's happening while he's awake? and includes an excerpt from the sister story Ride Awake, about Kingard's situation with the Colkh'rak. Praise for Tales of the Known World Bookends: Loved it. The difference between the two stories is great! The difference between the epilogue and prologue is astounding. So much light and love in the first story. You feel safe reading it. Healing. The second, so much darkness, pain and despair. The choice of vocabulary is awesome and makes an impact. And this set of short stories ties the two books together so well. -- Dana V. of Texas ★★★★★

8 120World War Academy [DROPPED]
EDIT: Hello, as you can tell this story is dropped. reason why this is the case is that I really didn't know where I was going to take this story and really, I wasn't satisfied with how I was writing here. However I am currently writing a completely new story and with it is that I am taking some aspects from here and using the ideas on my new story. New characters, new ideas, new plot, everything is completely new. So I hope that goes well and i'll leave this story up as reference for me in the future. Thank you Akani Kizuato. An 18 year old that recently started to live on his own to get away from life. With his sister and father dead from the wars as they fought in, he tried to continue life and tried not to let it get in his way. It may seem that way but with his whole life planned out, it may not seem to be. He had been rejected from all universities within the nation despite being top of his class, which is very unusual because even local colleges rejected him. It was as if he was banned to go to any of those places but uknowingly why. As he ranted, and relieved stress on the school rooftop, he had received an email from an anonymous source saying that he was accepted into some academy, which he had never heard of before. With events that lead up to his mysterious encounter with people who are there to take him, it may be quite a ride. Cover art made in Adobe Spark.
