Hope in the Strangest Places

Uggh....my head. What the hell happened?

Garren slowly opens his eyes, but there wasn't much to see. The room was dim, and the only light coming into the room was from a small candle. The light didn't go far, and many spots in the room were still darkened to a great extent. It looked like a medieval dungeon. He tries to move, only to realize his wrists and ankles are chained to the wall.

"What's going on?" Garren demands, speaking to no one in particular. Has he failed a test, and is now dying for it? He's about to repeat himself, when he sees something lying on the ground not too far from him...

Chapter Two- Setting My Sights

If ghost could pass out from shock then that was actually what I was about to do. It isn't the greatest feeling in the world to realize that you're dead, that no one on Earth will be able to hear u say anything ever again. Everyone thinks u are dead. There was a silver lining in this tale of misfortune. Everyone thinks I'm dead which meant, most likely, everyone would be gossiping about my death. I might just get some antwoorden on this untimely tragedy. I longed to know what happened to me. Why was I like this? I surely don't want to be a ghost forever although,...

    Code furnace
    “Pam, how many times have I told u to not fake injuries to the nurse and sleep through the whole dag of school?”
    I scrunched my brow. “Over twenty times.”
    Adam scowled. “You missed a whole dag of school, and! u made Beth too!”
    “Hey! Beth agreed with me!” I said, “her life, her choices.”
    Adam rolled his eyes. “You’ve been doing this since ninth grade Pam, just endure the pain of school with the rest of your...

    Football games and gym days
    “GO! GO! GO! GO!”
    I groaned. “Oh, come on guys, it’s just a stupid game!”
    “A stupid game!” Adam yelled, and Ryler nodded his head enthusiastically. “It’s football!”
    I roll my eyes. “So?”
    “So?” Adam mimicked. “This game is sacred! Awesome! It’s football!”
    “It’s also too long,” I whine. “I mean like, I love it, I really do. But sitting around is torture,...

As doctors rushed in and Mariah and Tiffany ran volgende to Kyle, James sat there, looking at his brother, remembering all that they'd gone through, fighting evil monsters that don't exist, fighting bad guys, everything, they survived it all. Except the human race, their own species. He was about to cry but looked up and saw Mariah and Tiffany, crying. He hugged them tight, like Kyle used to. "It'll be ok" he said. "But what are we going to do?" sobbed Mariah. "Live on." zei James and hugged them tighter. Later that evening James went to Kyle's house and looked under his bed and found a box. He...

    The interview
    Approximately two days and we were off. Ashlynn was excitedly working on the script and Sasha was helping with the budget that the teacher just wouldn’t help with. Even with Fern’s influence she still didn’t trust us, maybe a little bit more, but still not that much. We were still undecided about the whole interviewing thing-y so we’ve just been searching on the internet and getting some old released police records.
    “Okay, so the horror uur is looking pretty good,” Sasha mutters as she...

Would u ask a writer about what their writing means? First, hear (or read) what I have to say. If u ask a poet what their work is about, what sorts of vragen do u think they hear all the time? 'Whats this mean? What's this about?' The artists get sick of it. Writing is a form of art. Art is meant to be not the same for everyone. Most artists want their work to be left to the viewers interpretation. Quoth one of my favourite writers:
"Does it mean this, does it mean that, that's all anybody wants to know. Fuck them darling. I say what any decent poet would say if u dared ask him to...

    It seemed as if everything went quieter when Alex and Iris sat down, I could see we were all tensed and hopeful. Although it didn’t seem Iris had gotten over her anger of us how she never zei a word and just frowned at her tray unless Alex was saying something to her.
    What irked me was that when Alex would talk to Iris, u could tell it was really important door the way they looked, but the geniuses had the conversations between the two in different languages. One minuut there speaking what...

    The seconde day
    “The seconde dag of school and already gossip flows like a waterfall,” Beth says, shaking her head.
    I nod as we walk through the front doors into the school entrance, it was in the parking lot where people pointed at us and horribly trying to whisper, though we can hear the words clearly. Of course about Ali’s luscious slap, to jerk and still is lovelies, Chad Holder, who according to Ali had some relationships problems.
    I smiled and waved at Grey, who was door our lockers,...

Chapter Ten: I Always Lose At The Game of Chance

      "Who would be dumb enough to follow us?" demanded Courtney who was already forgetting that Darrell almost kidnapped us. "Don't they know who they are messing with." Courtney zei it a bit playful but playful was not the kind of mood we were looking for.
      "You might be trained, but they are experienced and probably know 40 different ways to kill someone. It is best if we go hide out somewhere." Darrell kept his eyes on the road, those sky blue eyes.
      "You're right," I said. "But where are Charles and Raven? We can't just...

    It takes a miracle
    Wednesday’s, one of my favoriete days, because on the dag I was first born, I was born on Wednesday. The funny thing was my parents wanted to name me Wednesday, but Adam and Melanie kept on howling and yelling, so my mom picked Pamela, so my middle name is Wednesday.
    Why the name Pamela?
    I’ll tell u why, I’m a miracle baby, u know how some baby’s don’t come out perfect and the hospital has to hold them, well that’s what happened....

She looked at me throw narrow eyes droping her hostage to the floor she took a step toward me. She'd started to mouth off at me but I wasn't paying attention the only thing I had my eyes on was the man behind her.

He slowly drew a gun from his chest pocket before angling it at Camila's head he smiled at me and mouthed 'thanks'. I couldn't speak, I was speechless.

It was her words that brought me to life as of where I could run. "Duck he's going to kill you?"
"What?!" she sheirked turning to her attacker. He held a tight grin on his face. "Sweet dreams Princess." I could hear a faint Itialian...

    Here my roar!
    I couldn’t stop gushing over the fact that Ryler kissed me! He kissed me! Best dag ever! And I just couldn’t wait for our date, and Ryler wouldn’t be telling me anything, but it was pretty clear Adam knew. He’d always give me this secret smile, and wink.
    I wonder if I was obvious with my crush with Ryler, of if Ryler told Adam from the beginning, of just told him. All in all, I’m relieved there’s no ‘touch my sister and die’, everything seems normal....

    “Oh! My lovely baby’s growing up!” My mom squeals while I hold a groan.
    “Mom please!” I whine. “Were here for shopping not gushing.”
    Mom rolled her eyes. “It’s clothes shopping, stupid. Gushing is mandatory. And u in that dress! Oh the tears!”
    I smile as she clutches herself dramatically. “Whatever.”
    After that little get together, which wasn’t that bad when I look back...

I stared in horror at what was in Blake’s computer I didn’t see this coming. What have I done? I felt like I was going to throw up. I can’t believe what I just gave him I am so stupid! I sighed me beating myself up is not going to change anything. All I can do now is find my brother find out what is going on and stop Blake before it is to late. What are u waiting for it is time to come up with a plan to escape this nut house.

I took a flash drive and copied everything on Blake’s computer. I made sure there was no tracking device on the laptop double-checking found it clean than I packed...

As we walked down a long never-ending hallway. I decided I wanted answers. So where are we going I asked Blake? Do u want to stay in that white room? No I replied. We came to a stop. And he handed me a key. Then here we are this is where u will be staying. Go ahead do the honors.
I put the key in the lock and twisted it. Grabbed the handle and opened the door. I am not going to lie the room was beyond cool. First off it was huge like two apartments big. And there was a king-sized bed, a walk in closest full of clothes and a keuken-, keuken filled with snacks. But what I found odd was half of it...

Ryler helps calm me down door sitting volgende to me on the divan, bank and talking about nothing, yet everything in particular. And Adam tries to bring back the lively mood getting another boarding game out and starting it.

Three hours past and it was getting cold, the night air was coming and the warmth from the sun disappeared. Katie...

    Just a lovely game
    I wasn’t even worried about our run in with Talia, in fact, I almost forgot about it. The rest of the dag was spent on purely fun and I found myself humming as I unlocked the front door to my house. It was eerily quiet but I just shrugged, entering the house I found Ryler sprawled on the divan, bank again eyes opened blankly.
    “Are u dead?” I asked. “Because if u are it’ll be a pain to verplaats your body.”
    He...
