Nazaan
The wind stirred. Braoin gripped the wilted roses in his frail hands. He dropped to his hands and knees. Tears flowed from his eyes. The gaping whole in his heart had become unbearable. He picked himself up and placed the roses next to the stone.
I opened the door and held my breath, being in second grade I wasn’t the nicest kid around.
“When was the last time you took a shower?” A few weeks had gone by, my left eye was still purple and a bit swollen. My mother let the girl come and take a shower whenever she needed to.
Nazaan didn’t speak to me till seventh grade. On the first day of seventh grade Nazaan had come to school dripping wet. The other kids snickered as she walked down the hall. The Principal came immediately to

We knew that her family was poor. My mother never had the guts to ask if she could even meet her parents or ask where she lived.
One day I asked her. Nazaan made herself comfortable on the couch “It was a crisp winter morning,” like always she dodged my question and went into her usual stories. “Joy was in the air…”
“The Shawnie kids were practicing their size shifting, while I was stuck doing chores. The men in our village were out hunting. My older brother Nanak was being punished for defying the elders. Mother was very disappointed with him. My brother was a bad example to me. My father never returned from the hunt, My brother was outraged. The next morning he disappeared. A woman in our village screamed.” A tear fell from her eye, Nazaan started shaking.
“He killed them,”
“He killed them all,”
“The elders

The thick stench of blood made me cringe. I asked for Nazaan but was accused of kidnapping her. I couldn’t help but sob. I ran through the long grass next to the river for hours. I had lost track of the bridge, the only passage for me to return to my original size.
Another wolf howl.
I ran towards the sound. As I approached an open spot of mush wet grass. My boots became stuck in the mud.
There she was, far in the distance.
A crow flew down, Nazaan let her arrows fly. The bird transformed into a large dark man with glowing yellow eyes. He had a headdress made of wolf pelts and crow feathers. Nazaan continued her attack. The man caught her arrow, snapping it into two instantly. “Nazaan, Please stop running from me.” Blood dripped from the man’s mouth as he grinned. Nazaan had a massive gash in her leg. She screamed “Nanak, If you're going to kill me do it now!” I threw rocks at the shady figure. The man laughed, he raised his hand and pointed it at Nazaan. Terror in her eyes “Braoin?!”
Bang
The man had disappeared. Nazaans lifeless body remained still in the cold mud.
I returned to the village with Nazaan in my arms. The chief took me to a nearby cemetery to bury
I sobbed as I saw the cloud seeping and boiling over the edge of the small ravine I fallen into. I heard

The boy in the house threw a stone at me and broke it. " Then she fluttered more desperately than ever. Nagaina lifted up her head and hissed, "You warned Rikki-tikki when I would have killed him. Indeed and truly, you've chosen a bad place to be lame in."
I awoke the next morning happy, reminiscing about the night before and the fun had by all. Suddenly my daughter, mother and sister were at the door. I knew something was wrong because
When the rain stopped and the sun started to come out, I finally went to my car. I opened the driver’s side door, sat down, and closed it. I banged my hands on the dashboard multiple times and screamed. The tears came back, streaming down my face as if they were rivers themselves. When at last there were no more tears left to flow out, I turned my head towards the bridge and for the last time, I glared out at the spot where she stood before her
The scream came from a young elven woman, who currently was surrounded by a pack of trolls and they snarled at her and waved their weapons in her direction. The elven woman was covered in bruises and was struggling to stand on her legs. She held a dagger in a shaky hand with fear written on her pretty features.
The man struggled for a few moments before his grip on his own neck tightened with Rose’s contempt. His dying gasps were music to Rose’s ears. A few tears slid out of his eyes before they went blank and his knees buckled out underneath him. How unceremonious.What a rube.

She overlooked the beach, staring into its marvelous beauty. The sound of the waves filled her ears as she leaned backwards into the sand. She sat with gracefulness, the tips of her feet meeting with the ocean, the grains of the earth rubbing between her fingers. The smell of sea's salt wafted past her nose as she settled into deep thought. There was nothing she could do. This was it, the end of her journey with Rose. Thousands of years coming to halt for the birth of a half human, half gem being; at the sacrifice of the greatest gem she had ever known. She could feel the sting of the tears as they welled near the brim of her icy hues. However, she refused to let them fall. She
I sat up as my eyes started to fill with tears. I clenched my arm trying to forget the pain I was currently feeling. I was trying to catch my breath but my heart felt like it was pounding one million beats per second. The grass was drowning in the water rushing from my eyes. All I could think of was pain.
River saw light at the end of the dark and desolate forest, but suddenly the forest changed. The forest was gone; it was now an empty white space that had a visible corner, but other than that, there was no place to run. She cowered in the corner as a spotlight shined on the chaser; The wolf. He manically grinned at her, baring his
Anthony's hands shook, and as he pulled out of his driveway, he could feel the streams soaking his face and making his shirt cling to his chest from how many tears he had shed. He didn't want to do this, but he had made a choice and he had to stick with it, no matter how hard it was.
Sitting on the couch, four-year-old Gia was enraptured by the Disney movie playing on the television. Enthralled by the scenes occurring in front of her, she watched as the charming young prince returned the glass slipper to the beautiful maid, transforming her into a princess. Looking up at her mom, Gia said in awe, “Mommy, when I grow up I wanna be a princess and marry my own prince!”
This morning I woke up not to the sound of the birds in the trees, but the yelling and screaming of fellow villagers. The streets were filled with people I had never seen in my life. They has long faces and their eyes were cold. There were many of them and they continued to march on. I couldn’t see exactly what was happening. Kanda came running in, “Elombe! Get up!”
So, by the look of the wounds it seemed like some kind of sacrifice. Sacrificing his own nephew, his own flesh and blood. To a possible fake deity. I went to the DA and explained it all
