Project: Scarlet

I keep having this reoccurring dream where I am joined by this woman. She was tall and curvy and Her skin is grey and pale like ashes. Her black, fitted, dress showed her small waist while her fingers, slender like sticks, caressed my face. Her eyes were a very deep and mesmerizing purple, I get lost in them every time I see her... her beauty was truly astonishing as I sat there in empty space, completely lost in her image and presence. Her black hair looked like silk as it was cut into a even bob that rounded her face. Each night I dreamed of her, my floating body of which I had no control over, was getting closer and closer to her. I felt her cold touch on my cheek, her fingers lingered and drew me into her chest where I laid and sunk into.  The empty black space that my body was swimming in had opened bled into white aura around us. The embrace was warm as I felt myself sink deeper into her. Our eyes met one more time as she extended foreword to kiss my neck. It was like ele

So here I was. In Saturday Detention. Sitting next to Artemis. She wore a really big pink hoodie with light blue ripped jeans, it looked like she was drowning. I had a pretty big hoodie on as well with ripped jeans and a beanie. I really need to learn how to manage my hair. We were accompanied by Four other kids. We were being held in the basement of the school, with a couple desks and chairs with a chalkboard. No teacher is here with us, they are up the stairs and outside the door, watching it in case we try to leave before we are allowed. 30 minutes pass of just silence before I get a paper ball thrown at me from Artemis' direction. After picking up the paper, I look at her with some confusion and she's smiling as wide as possible and whispers  "open it." To me.        I open the paper and it reads "Sorry, I couldn't text you since I don't have your number but I needed to get your attention somehow. Shouldn't we be trying to find the 5 other member

It's been about 3 weeks since we started training. I've been practicing energy flow and controlling my gift at home by myself. My shooting has gotten better and more under control along with my ability to call out my Link. It's all so strange though, none of it feels real. It honestly feels like a big joke but the truth is in our sudden gifts.      It was lunchtime on a Wednesday afternoon and I was sitting at my table, on my phone as my two friends, Kyle and Duncan joined me. They were both average kids, short brown hair, brown eyes, Duncan just had a sharper jawline and Kyle wore glasses but that was about it. They have been my friends since freshman year and the only two people that coincide with my wallflower personality. "So are you gonna tell us how you grew all this hair?" Kyle said as he ate his PB&J. "Like it suits you so well too. And your body and face slimmed down." "The Goddess of Death kissed me." I s

"Soon, there will be no more for me to teach you. We don't have much time left for training as well. It is the first week of November and you will start our side of the fight in The first week of December . War is almost upon us. But Today, you all will fight each other in sparring sessions." Thalia stood on an elevated stone platform out in the practice field. "But before that, I will be giving you all your Armor sets so you guys don't hurt each other." We were each given a colored beaded bracelet with a different charm on each one. The bracelet assigned to me has black and purple beads With the charm being a small hourglass. "Now once you put it on your wrists, pull the bracelet to pop it and your armor will form around you. Everyone's armor is different based on their Gift, Link and power output. So some have different properties than others." "Wow, I bet yours is pretty amazing then." Artemis repeatedly poked my rib cage. It didn't tickle, it just felt weird

"Hey, dad." I said awkwardly . I stood before him, my body taller and my structure built up. He stared at me, sizing me up and down before taking another sip of his beer. Ugh, the smell had left the can, I absolutely hated it. The sunset peaked through our white curtains, setting a reddish purple hue all over the living room. "Kina?? What the hell happened to your hair?" He could barely speak, his words drew out and clumped together in odd places.  "It's so long now." "I kinda grew it out..." I said as I played with my sweater sleeves awkward. "Well how is school? Shouldn't parent teacher conferences be happening soon?" "They passed, dad. We talked about this. You were called into work that week. Look I'm gonna be in my ro-" I tried to get out of the uncomfortable yet familiar situation. "Woah, where are you going? I'm talking to you." He said as he pointed to the single sea
