I'm not overly sporty or anything but I had extra energy so I went. As I was dressing i caught myself in the one full length mirror. I'm average I guess, five foot six, safire blue eyes, raven black hair that shines blue- black in the right light, and not to thin at 154 pounds. No abs but I don't have flab either. I sigh and turn away wishing I could be better looking and date someone. Then I wonder who I would date since I didn't like girls. I was troubling myself and I wanted to get out my energy before they closed up. I pull my shirt over my head and lace up my shoes, and walking out the door, and into the workout area. With a start I realize I'm

These cliffsCut deep into the earth Like the wrinkles Carved upon my face And as the sun rises I’m remindedof opening my eyesThe grass grows Like prisms of green Covering the ground And the sky Refracts around me Like a million mirrors Filled with sapphiresA breeze blows Moving the clouds And the tree’s leaves Dance in the wind Billowing to the rhythm I feel deep withinThe waves crashed Against the shore As thoughThey had no other way To release their pent up EnergyThe spray Sparkling like diamonds As it hit the airindeed

Chapter 2 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------She woke up alone in a bed that held only her heat. Knowing he had left in the night- quiet so as not to wake her- made her almost sad. She looked out the window seeing that she had woken early she took a leisurely shower. Soon it was time for her to head to the mess hall. She carefully placed the bracelet he had given her around her wrist and left her room happily. As she stood in line to get breakfast she decided that shewanted a big bowl of Lucky Charms and a banana. After she paid for her food she sat at her table across from Snow. Storm wasn't there so she searched the room for him, but didn't see him at all. When she made eye contact with Snow a grin was all she got in response to her questioning look as to of where he might be. She shrugged and began to eat her cereal."Ooh! what's this?" Snow asked tugging on her bracelet. Sha

She was walking the long trek back to her bunk, after training, as Storm flew up behind her. he swung himself to land facing her, she giggled."Hello Storm." She breathed. He pinched a stray strand of her navel length black hair, and twirled it around his finger."Hello my precious shadow." He leaned in."I've told you I am not your's. W-We wouldn't work- I'm only a foot soldier. You would get dishonorably discharged." His answering grin was feral."Don't tell me you can't feel that we're mates?" Her face fell."I'm truly sorry Storm but I can't. I must be on my way so that I can have time to change before lunch and my next training session. Goodbye." She stated, walking around him and continuing on to her bunk. He used his inhuman speed to cut her off."You're lying so I won't get D-Ded." He growled almost like he was trying to convince himself as much as her. She shook her head mournfully."No Storm, I'm not lying. I see you a
