Deciding against taking a drink from the Lake of Solitude, I turned away. The picture the ancient voice had shown me burned in my mind. I shook my head in disgust and padded towards the dark forest to find my sorry excuse of a daughter and the other Matured that followed her so eagerly.Just before I entered the maze of trees I gazed up at the sun. It seemed to shine brighter than usual and I could...

Do you know what Death looks like? I do. It's not the lifeless void in a being's eyes. Nor the peaceful expression on that being's face.It's two yellow eyes watching you hungrily. You don't even realise it's hunting you until it has its jaws locked around your neck, crushing your windpipe. That's if you survived the killer blow from its deadly paws with one hundred and fifty pounds behind the powe...

I'm standing on the edge. The edge of the precipice. The urge to jump is overwhelming. The silence roars in my ears. Blood races through my veins. I lean forward, inhaling deeply as I prepare for the fall. The bubble of fear in the pit of my stomach rises and a scream of exhilaration builds.

It snarled at her with a fierce expression. She smi...

"Time. It's a funny thing. Humans are always referring to clocks when they talk about time. They think that by creating hours, minutes and seconds that they have mastered the dimension that is time. Truth is, time has no form - it has no hours, minutes or seconds. Humans just like feeling in control I suppose," I looked down on the Young Ones who all stared up at me with wide, blue eyes....

She stares up at the dark, dank, abandoned house. She'll show them all.'I can do this,' She thinks to herself, turning around to face her so-called friends, who shout and jeer by the broken, rusted gate.
