He is watching us
With eyes of sorrowful stone
Thirsting for our flesh
Coiled, like a deadly
Spring, he cuts through the crisp air
Screams pierce the dark night
Puddles of scarlet
Rippling in the chilling breeze
Are all that remain
No way.
I didn't do it. I DID NOT DO IT.
I loved Damien so much. We'd just run to the supermarket before we went back to his place. I couldn't remember anything after that. I have blackouts. But I DIDN'T kill him.
The CCTV says otherwise.
My name is Esme Daniels, and I'm 14. I am in a police cell, hands behind my back in handcuffs, shackled to the wall. Policemen are whispering to each other. I can catch snippets. 'So young, and yet so twisted' 'She's horrific evil' 'This is worse...
Hi, I'm Dannii and I write action stories. I can never find a good place to post them, but this place is brill! Me and my friend hk love posting stuff here. Join please!
I can see everything
I see past the faces
The clothes tell nothing
I catch the most subtle hint
A turn of the lips
A glint in the eye
Eyebrows furrowed
Fists clenched
Hating me
Despising me
Fearing me
I am the lie detection machine
Lie to me, will you?
Chapter One: My Storybook Life
‘For hell’s sake, Dessi, put your head down! Unless for some reason, you want a new bullet hair accessory!’ hissed my dad Jas, as we hurtled up the motorway in his old Porsche. I ducked instinctively at the deafening noise of a gunshot, sparks flying as the bullet, seemingly in slow motion, ripped down the silver paintwork, and tore a hole in the side of my door.
‘Damn you, you *****s!’ swore my dad, as the giant, looming, death-black jeep covered our...
Chapter Two:
Welcome to Oklahoma
'We're here.' Jas spoke with a monotone. He was about as excited about living for three months in Oklahoma as me. As in, not. Everything about it was the same as the stereotype- burning sun that was tinging my bronzed-thanks-to-Georgia skin red.
We left the airport in a red Aldi, bought by Jas' "construction company". They'd sent him out here to bust a counterfeit ring operating in Oklahoma city. He drove down the endless, winding roads, obviously...
Chapter Three:
Dimitri
I couldn't speak. Gazing into the boy's eyes in front of me, I wanted to drown in them. Kind brown eyes, gazing at me. 'IDIOT! He must think you're deranged! Get off his sleeping bag! Dessi, you pillock, MOVE!'
The sane part of my brain eventually took over when the curses of the annoyed homeless people broke into my thick-as-two-short-planks head. I sprang up, walking past everyone with tomato-red cheeks, muttering 'sorry, sorry, sorry, yes, I'll get that...
Her hair is whipping in the breeze
Her eyes the colour of the seas
She dazzles me, impeccably
And her name is Holly
She turns our heads from near and far
But us, I think, are something more
Her glowing smile when she sees me
I know her name is Holly
I can't approach her without gasping
Shocked that compliments come out rasping
I'm scared of that she comes to me
Don't know what to make of Holly
I finally made that little step
To plunge in way out of my depth
I spoke to her, quite...
Shadowed skies
Leaving debris
In its destructive path
Eating through the buildings
Hurricane
Thunder fills the sky
A man on a giant drum
Penetrates my eardrums
I cannot hear my pounding heart
Hurricane
Lightning bolts
Illuminate the black sky
Suffocating the moon and stars
And set all alight
Hurricane
Winds
They pick me up
And fling me away
It almost feels like flying
Until my feet touch the ground
Hurricane
Blood
Engulfing me
I'm drowning...
PROLOGUE
Jamie Harvey stepped out of the sedan. The blood of another victim was on his hands, just another bit of evidence on his sadistic profession. He'd been quick this time: the only reason to think he'd just murdered her would be the misted windows- and the corpse 'sleeping' in the back of the car. Her strawberry blonde hair hung over her face, eyes glazed. A single jet of blood was spurting out of her silent heart.
Jamie whipped out his phone, and called Phoebe. Ever since he'd...
