(Mother Nature.) The woman wore a short dress. Red with glitters, that was more vibrant than her spirit. As the designer, she was proud of the way the material snuggled into her curves like it was lasered to her silhouette. She left the crowd of people, the celebration in full swing and continued down the road until she could hear nothing more than silence. Her camera was swinging on a string across her breast and she checked her watch. It was two in the morning. Looking up at the sky, it had been a while since she had seen each star shine so distinctly bright. Glowing galaxies of haphazard shapes, with no specific pattern, constellation or design. Each star just up in a spellbinding, black, witches brew sky, being their own individual self. She took out her camera and one after the other she snapped at the sky, creating on rolls of film, a slideshow of heavenly selfies. She smiled at the universe because in the cosmos, legend had it that when a demon and an angel mated, when dark

(The Winds Of Change.)Moonstruck felt her heart pounding in her mouth. She swallowed it and felt it slamming at her rib cage. She was sure if she attacked, then Buttercup too would have turned against her.Three against one, but no fight was fair. However, Moonstruck had no intention of fighting either.Why did Moonstruck let this fairy convince her, that it would be fine to follow her to meet her friends?Moonstruck had returned from school and she had stopped to do her regular spying. She found the three having a picnic out in the meadows. Taking off her uniform, Moonstruck shifted into a wolf. She sat in the grass, using her ears to fan away a pesky mosquito.She smiled at Buttercup's naivety and her willingness to comprehend an incomprehensible world.It was easier for Moonstruck to eavesdrop in her wolf form, because her sense of hearing was heightened and she could listen to conversations more clearly from a safe distance.She watched Buttercup rise from the quilt and Moonstr

(From Bad To Worst.)Jatray came into the Fast-Food restaurant. The line wasn't long but the facility was full of people sheltering from the rain.The rain had fallen earlier, stopped, then in the night began to fall again. She checked her watch, it was after nine p.m.Jatray was hungry and she decided she would go to the diner not far from the hotel. She joined the line, standing behind an indecisive teenager who looked up at the flashing menu board over the serving counter, with the expression that she wasn't sure which meal to order.Across the room a man was getting ice at the juice machine, then he moved his hand over to the choices of drinks and settled on filling his cup with Pepsi.The glass of the restaurant ran from floor to ceiling. The view of the outside was foggy, due to the high air conditioning on the inside and the rain pelting on the outside. A child stood on the seat and traced a heart into the thick glass.Plastic booths were all around the room, some empty becaus

(Behind these walls.)The car pulled up at the manor, secluded in England's rich countryside.Jatray got out of the black Ferrari and walked over the short, brick bridge, that the water gossiped beneath. She hurried up the brief, narrow trail towards the house and as she came closer, the front door opened.Cattles of cows stamped across the fenced pasture, pausing occasionally to nibble and chew grass in their cuds. She saw Mark running his hands down the body of a calf, he patted the spotted black and white skin and spoke low to the obedient animal.Mark didn't turn to look at her.None of her servants tried to get close to her, they just performed their duties."Good morning Madam."Kimmy said, taking Jatray's coat. Kimmy was a youthful-looking vampire that was shy and modest in her maid services. She was the only one who did the cooking and cleaning around the house. It would not have been an easy task with fourteen rooms and bathrooms, but only three rooms were used. Therefore Ki

(Extraordinary Emotions.)Buttercup thought it was cute the way Moonstruck was sneaking out at nights to hang out with that Goblin boy.She turned into the dug-out hole in the wall that was padded with dried straws, covered with a sheet and fitted with a single pillow. Buttercup had to use a ladder to get into her sleeping quarters and below that, was another bed that Moonstruck occupied. Moonstruck had called it dirt bunk beds.They were shaped like those small tents she saw in the store, that went over and around, but minus the zipper to zip yourself in.Buttercup had listened to Moonstruck as she had slipped from the lower bunk earlier and smiled to herself.Buttercup wondered what it was like to be in love.She feels love for her people, her new friends and that hybrid child, but she had never been in love. Buttercup had not yet met her mate either.******************Buttercup's first partner was not of her own choice, he was the Fairy King's son, Dustin.She wrinkled her nose a
