The wedding the following day was complete torture. I received no alone time and was forced to put on a smile that fooled everyone into believing I was the happiest girl in the world. Mostly noble families were invited but some brought friends, not that I would care, however, I didn't even know the nobles. Sure some faces looked familiar here and there from past balls my father had thrown but all their names have slipped my mind by now. Perhaps because of the stress of the wedding, or because I simply tend to ignore the high class, nothing personal, they're just all the same. I had a lower class friend once that was no

     It was the year 1459 when I first met the mysterious man named Vladimir. At that time he was the Voivode* of the city of Bucharest and was highly respected among the noblemen and women alike. The men saw him as a strong and able leader while the women just fancied his looks and romantic ways. Of course it was hard for any girl to not be drawn in by his charming and outgoing personality and unique looks of strawberry blonde hair and demonic red eyes. Despite the high superstitions of the people, they all seemed to be drawn into his act and didn't give his eyes a second thought after he passed it off as a medical condition. Every

When you see one of these * that means look in the description! Thank you~ ---------------------------------------------------------     About an hour ago Mathias had sent you a text message saying to come over because he needed help with 'Operation Fairy tale'. You figured it was another prank so you rushed over to the Nordic 5 house as fast as you could, clearly eager to help. Plus the name 'Operation Fairy tale' made it sound like you were going to prank Lukas since he reads fairy tales almost religiously. Since you met him over six months ago and since the pick-up-line war you had actually grown to be good friends, at least you thought

     The loud bustle of the marketplace drowned out your thoughts as you weaved through the busy town people. The cold air around you was mainly filled with the smell of fresh bread and hay; a strange mixture. Your brother had sent you out to collect some flint for the long winter ahead but somewhere along the way you got distracted by the crowd and various shops. Even though it was cold outside and snowing, again, you still enjoyed watching the towns people go about their lives and looking at all of the rare or exotic things the shops had to offer. While passing by one of the shops a glimmer of something caught your eye and made yo

Norway’s P.O.V Three days have past since my injures were received and thanks to the magic in my blood they have already healed. I knew I couldn't stay here any longer, people are getting killed every second that I wasted here. From the window I could see the sun slowly peaking up the horizon, ______ wouldn't be awake for another few hours. Perhaps it would be better if I didn't tell her to save her from the teary eyed goodbye I know she would give. Over the course of the short three days the (h/c) haired (e/c) eyed girl had earned my trust and, to a certain extent, my friendship. Much to her brothers dismay, every spare minute she ha

     When you two finally reached the barn the first thing you did was run back to your house, that was a little distance away, and search for medical supplies for the wounded dragon. He assured you on the way that it was just a scratch to a dragon who could handle pain but that just made you worry even more. In your house you found some alcohol, bandages, string, and a needle with haste but just as you were about to open the door your brother decided to make an entrance. “_____, are you okay? Why are you in such a hurry to go out this late?” Shocked, you quickly hid the items behind your back before he noticed them and grew even

     The winter was at it’s peak on the cold day of December when you decided to take a walk in the forest near your home. Snow was building up by the second as it fell around you while some got caught in your hair. However, you didn't care, you didn't even notice how cold it actually was, you were too lost in thought. Your brother had just informed you that there had been another dragon attack on the village closest to your home. These were not uncommon, dragons were the superior race, it was because of them that you were allowed to live. For as long as anyone could remember the human race had to bow down to the dragons in fear that th

 "Time is not a reality, but a concept or a measure." -Antiphon the Sophist     Every year on one day time just stops, the sun stops moving, the plants stop growing, the Earth stops orbiting, and as if that wasn't strange enough, people and animals seem to be the only things that remain functional. It started in the year 2000 and has continued to happen on New Year's for around an hour and 23 minutes after the start of the year. Scientists have tried to discover why this phenomenon occurs and have been studying it continuously since. The religious believe it is a sign of the apocalypse and choose to spend the majority of their time in vario

 It was just an ordinary day, the sun was out and there were few clouds in the sky. There were birds chirping in the air singing their annoying songs for all to here. But today was something special, it was Christmas eve. Your best friend Mathias had decided it was time to bake some Christmas cookies so he invited you over to the Nordics house to help. Needless to say you were excited. You stopped in front of their house then knocked and waited patiently. After a minute or so you were getting tired of waiting and was about to text Matt when it opened to reveal someone you've never seen before. He had short blonde hair with a cross clip on the
