Yeah, so when I was young, I LOVED to write stories.
And I've decided  to post them because they were forgotten for so long. Now they'll air  out and dry with fragrant, humiliating, embarrassing errors. Oops, I  mean air ;)
Story 1
 Ali Moon looked up into the sky. The sun  was sinking already. She had to hurry. She raced down alleyways, past  vendors, past all the old buildings and the waterways. Finally, she  spotted a shadowy figure. Just what she was looking for. She ran as fast  as her legs could carry her and tackled the figure just before it could  jump. “Ali?” said the shadowy figure. “Yeah. Turns out I survived. And  just WHAT the HELL were you THINKING when you just LEFT me in that  freaking HOSPITAL ALONE?!?!? They were freakin’ EVERYWHERE! And they  won’t go AWAY!” Ali shouted at the figure. The figure visibly winced.  “Sorry ‘bout that…It’s just…They said you were gone…” The figure’s  sentence trailed off. “Yeah, well, they’ve said that before, haven’t  they?” Ali said, bringing back a memory for both of them.  “Don’t go!” a  little version of Ali cried out to her mother. “I have to, my sweet.  I’m sorry.” After her mother had went through the front door, little Ali  slipped on a set of stairs and came tumbling down. Her father and a  little boy were there in an instant. They all went to the hospital, and  she was put in intensive care, although neither could understand why. A  pretty nurse, probably in her early twenties, came into the waiting  room. “I’m sorry, Mr…Moon? Your daughter is gone.” The little boy pushed  himself up from the chair and said quietly, “No, she’s not. You’re  lying. Ali’s right there.” And he pointed behind her. There Ali, the  little one, stood, framed by dim light. “No! She couldn’t have!”  screamed the nurse and lunged at Ali. At that moment a sliver of light  came from somewhere and pierced the nurse through the heart. She  screamed in agony and faded from view. A succubus, they would later  learn. A different nurse came in, and her jaw dropped when she saw Ali.  “You’re that little girl!” she exclaimed. “But I thought they just  officially claimed you dead!” “Apparently not.” Ali’s father said.  They  both blinked back into the present time. “Ali, this isn’t normal,  coming back from the dead TWICE.” “I know” Ali sighed. They both got up,  and Ali tried to start walking back towards where she had come in. But  the figure pulled her close and kissed her. Ali smiled. Then she ended  the kiss and said, “come on, lover boy, we don’t have all night or day.”  The figure smiled and followed her.     Ok, so maybe I should fill you  in. Ali Moon is officially Alinine Freesia Moon. I’ll tell you how to  pronounce it. Al-i-neen free-c-a moo-n. It got shortened to Ali about  when her parents stopped calling her baby, honey, and dear and had to  start calling her by her name because she wouldn’t come when called. But  then again, no toddler in their right mind would. She was born December  27th, 1994. It was the bitterest and coldest winter Venice had ever  seen. She was born in someone’s house, which we’ll get to in due time.  She grew up in Minnesota, though, because a year after she was born,  something happened that shook her dad, and the family that they were  friends with, that made them (her dad and her) leave and come to  Minnesota. Now, onto the ‘shadowy figure’ and ‘boy’. His name is  Alexander Sun. He goes by Zen. They first meet when they were toddlers  playing in the sandbox. Their moms were talking and found out that they  lived back-to-back. It was only a month after she met Zen that she had  ‘come back from the dead’, and that her mom left for reasons unknown.  
Story 2
 You die. I do not. It is as simple as those words that  frighten everybody away. Except for 3 people. And those 3 people were  sitting right across from me at the lunch table.      
2 months earlier     
Misaleec yawned and stretched. She was happy today. For now. They,  her ‘family’, had moved to another town to settle down and wait for them  to get bored of the college or suspicions arose that they weren’t  aging. It had been going on for months, ever since Misaleec’s memory  started. In fact, her very first memory was this, ‘Misaleec, take my  hand, you’re hurt. You’re like us. You were bitten, too. Bitten by the  Class.’ ‘Now, Darin, don’t frighten Misaleec, she’s all by herself, now.  Misaleec, come with us, we’ll take care of you.’ They, the people,  seemed to be staring at a girl in here late teens. ‘Who’s Misaleec?’ She  asked. ‘And where am I? Who am I?’ Her eyes, changing colors constantly  (they always had) became wide with terror. Darin, a boy about her age  stepped toward her. She gracefully got into an instinctive position. She  looked like a dancer, her chameleon eyes changing while her  waist-length hair chocolate-brown hair whipped around her because of her  speed. Darin stopped. ‘Misaleec, you don’t remember, do you? Do you  know me, right?’ ‘No. I only…remember…white…red…then silver…’ The woman  who was assumed Darin’s mother said gently to the dancer-like girl.  ‘Come with us, then. We will explain everything.’ And they did.   The  Class is a group of undead (immortal with no exceptions) vampires that  usually deal with humans finding out about them.  But it happened to be  in Darin’s and Misaleec’s case that they didn’t know anything; it was  just a wrong tip-off. But while Darin and Misaleec and Darin’s mother  were all bitten, so they became vampires (they choose to be undead or  living vampires at the age of 10 years of being a vampire) but  Misaleec’s mother and father were killed. They never knew what had  happened to Darin’s older brother, who was never found. The 5 people in  the certain Class that attacked them were exiled and went into hiding.  It just so happened that when Misaleec, Darin, and Darin’s mother got to  choose between undead and living, that it was when Misaleec and Darin  graduated from college. In 2 years time. They had been doing it ever  since Misaleec and Darin had actually finished the college that they had  signed up for before becoming a vampire. Misaleec actually hated her  name. It was pronounced miss al eeeec, instead of miss al is or miss al  ice. Darin was fine with his, because it was easy to pronounce, dare in.  So in the first few months or so of being a vampire, she had come up  with the nickname Alice, Mice, or Mouse. She was mostly called Mice. Oh,  and she could tell almost everything from just looking at them. And,  sometimes, if she really wanted to, she could read people’s minds. Mice  yawned again and pulled on a pair of jeans and a black tank top along  with a silver sliver of a moon on a braided brown string. She went into  her shared bathroom (shared with Darin) and started on eyeliner for the  bottom of the inside of her eyelids and ended with mascara. Just as she  was closing the door, the other one opened. Darin came in and glanced at  her. She blushed and said, “You are supposed to knock, Darin.” Darin  nodded and said “yeah, ok,” but his mind was on how nice Mice looked  right then. Mice closed the door and leaned against it, and sighed. It  is such an irony that when we moved into the new house where we were  promised our own rooms, that we got an adjoining bathroom. It just makes  it so hard covering up my feelings for Darin. ‘Cause I’m pretty sure he  doesn’t feel that way about me. Right then, on the other side of the  door, leaned Darin, thinking the same thing.
Story 3
He gently set her  down on the bed and touched her lips softly, barely, but enough to  feel. And then he was gone. The ‘her’ that he had set down was Freesia.  The ‘he’ is Dimitri. Let me start from the beginning. By the way, I’m  Lavender. Maybe before I start the story you should know how Freesia  looks. Freesia has long, raven hair with blue eyes that are piercing yet  blue as the sky and ocean all at the same time. The spirals coming from  the ends of her eyes are dark green and brown. She has an hourglass  shape with defined hips, but small chest area. I wouldn’t call her  petite, for she is tall. Her ears are pointed, even more pointed than a  pure elf. To be exact of what she is, she is an elven maid mixed with  vampire and human, and maybe a bit of something surprising in there. Now  for her story. This is how it started….     On a bright spring day,  Freesia was invited to a party. Little did she know, it was a  Spin-The-Bottle party. When she got there, she played like everyone  else. The only person she got for the entire night was a boy named  Dimitri. Dimitri is a tall, lean boy with dirty blonde hair and bright  green eyes.
It might help if I gave you Freesia’s point of view:     
I  spun the bottle for the first time in my life. Tonight was when I’d get  my first kiss. It landed on a cute boy, perhaps one of the most unique  ones there. He stood up. I stood up. I turned around. All of a sudden,  hands slid over my hips and up my sides, stopping below my ribcage. I  gave an involuntary shiver of delight. I turned around rapidly. There he  was, in a blink of an eye, Dimitri and come across the room and behind  me. He led me to the closet. He closed the door and turned off the  light. Then he whispered in my ear, “You’re the most fragile, beautiful,  delicate person alive. You mean almost everything to me.” At the time, I  didn’t know what it meant. Then he slowly lowered his lips to mine.  They were soft, gentle, sweet. He never turned the kiss hard, it was  always gentle. I melted in the kiss, and he could sense it, I don’t know  how, though. He lifted his lips from mine and my eyelids fluttered  open. He looked deep into my eyes, and I knew something terrible was  about to happen. Right then a tremor pulsed through the room, and his  eyes turned to stone. He knew. He knew what I was. What I couldn’t  control. I pushed the door open and fled. The last time a tremor  happened and I had stayed in one place, a lot of people died. I was  running, but then….. He was there, right in front of me, holding me,  looking deep into my eyes saying, “I know you can stop it. Freesia,  please. Try.” I tried. I willed the ground to stop moving. It did. When I  opened my eyes, I whispered to Dimitri, “How do you know? How did you  know it was me? How?” And he told me. “All of you have the same delicate  shape, same soulful eyes. But I knew most because when the tremor  pulsed, your eyes changed.” I gasped. How could it be? How could the  spirals that started at the end of my eyes and curled away have  appeared? They were hidden for centuries. Why now? “I’m not going to  shun you, for I’m something, too.” And then, I knew. He was a pure.  Either a vampire or an elf, but definitely not a human. I looked away.  “No need to be ashamed of what you are. You are who you are because two  beings of different races loved each other. By the way, I’m no vampire,  I’m an elf.” So he was an elf. The dominant part of me was elf, too.  That’s why I had pointed ears.    
That was the beginning of Dimitri and  Freesia’s long journey together. And mixed into that long journey is  betrayal, romance, love, lust, lose, cheating, lying, happiness,  sadness, beginnings, and at the end, they may just find out what the  cost is of being together.
 Mix into the story: Snowflakes were  falling around us. Freesia was looking up into my eyes, searching them.  Snowflakes settled onto her eyelashes and onto her skin and hair. I  leaned down and kissed her, losing myself into the kiss. Then I did  something that surprised us both. I led her into my house and into my  room and laid her down on the bed. The bed that I had littered with  flower petals just for her arrival. She looked deep into my eyes and  trusted me. I trusted her, too. That’s when it all began, the spiral  into the biggest journey of both our lives.    
Friend’s Edited Version:   
Dimitri gently set the girl with long, raven hair with blue eyes that  are piercing, yet blue as the sky and ocean all at the same time down on  the bed and touched her lips softly, barely, but enough to feel. And  then he was gone. The ‘her’ that he had set down was Freesia. Let me  start from the beginning. I’m Lavender. You’ll hear about me later, but  just know I’m the narrator here. This is how Freesia’s started….
On a  bright spring day, hour glass shaped, small busted Freesia was invited  to a party. Little did she know, it was a Spin-The-Bottle party. When  she got there, she played like everyone else. The only person she got  for the entire night was a boy named Dimitri. Dimitri is a tall, lean  boy with dirty blonde hair and bright green eyes. Here is what freesia  would say if I gave her a chance to tell the account:
I spun the  bottle for the first time in my life. That night was when I’d get my  first kiss. It landed on a cute boy, perhaps one of the most unique ones  there. He stood up. I stood up. I turned around. All of a sudden, hands  slid over my hips and up my sides, stopping below my ribcage. I gave an  involuntary shiver of delight. I turned around rapidly. There he was,  in a blink of an eye, Dimitri and come across the room and behind me. He  led me to the closet. He closed the door and turned off the light. (add  something about how she knew what they meant by 7 minutes in heaven)  Then he whispered in my ear, “You’re the most fragile, beautiful,  delicate person alive. You mean almost everything to me.” At the time, I  didn’t know what it meant. Then he slowly lowered his lips to mine.  They were soft, gentle, sweet. He never turned the kiss hard, it was  always gentle. I melted in the kiss, and he could sense it, I don’t know  how, though. He lifted his lips from mine and my eyelids fluttered  open. He looked deep into my eyes, and I knew something terrible was  about to happen. Right then a tremor pulsed through the room, and his  eyes turned to stone. He knew. He knew what I was. What I couldn’t  control. I pushed the door open and fled. The last time a tremor  happened and I had stayed in one place, a lot of people died. I was  running, but then….. He was there, right in front of me, holding me,  looking deep into my eyes saying, “I know you can stop it. Freesia,  please. Try.” I tried. I willed the ground to stop moving. It did. When I  opened my eyes, I whispered to Dimitri, “How do you know? How did you  know it was me? How?” And he told me. “All of you have the same delicate  shape, same soulful eyes. But I knew most because when the tremor  pulsed, your eyes changed.” I gasped. How could it be? How could the  spirals that started at the end of my eyes and curled away have  appeared?

The dominant part of me was elf, too.  That’s why I had pointed ears. 
That was the beginning of  Dimitri and Freesia’s long journey together. And mixed into that long  journey is betrayal, romance, love, lust, lose, cheating, lying,  happiness, sadness, beginnings, and at the end, they may just find out  what the cost is of being together.

Story 4    
Black tendrils  that felt like velvet wrapped around her, constricting her. Her scream  echoed through the hallway. Heads turned. But one head didn’t. The one  that was walking away from the scream didn’t turn his head. He kept  walking away, even though his heart was being ripped out from his body  with each scream that came from her mouth. Then, just barely, he heard  ‘I love you… I have always loved you…’ Another scream tore through him.  This one was the loudest. He turned and started to run back. But the  screams then screamed “Run! Go! Don’t come back! You’ll be killed, too!”  Her screams were cut off just as he turned around again to run away.  Then he felt something soft, caressing around his shoulders. Tears fell  down his face. She’s here. And I let her die, he thought as he realized  that the softness was wings from an angel, a particular angel, the girl  he left to die. She was from the almost extinct race of human-angels.  They’re humans, but when they die they become angels and protect the  ones they love and died for. The black tendrils slipped around his  ankles, but they withered back as though burned. Her whimper told him  she had stopped the tendrils from killing him. He ran and ran, but  Avina’s sister followed him everywhere. One night, one identical to the  one where Avina had confessed to being a Levinkin, he couldn’t go on.  Avina’s sister, Tesla, came up and said, “Since she truly cares about  you, I will let you go. On one condition. You have to bear me a child,  first.” “No!” Avina’s voice screamed in his head. “Ok,” Nickel said.  “But first things first…”    
2½ months earlier… 
She laughed and her  black hair fell around her shoulders. He was watching her, when she  suddenly looked at him. She got up and walked toward him. She put out  her hand and said “C’mon, dance! Live life to the fullest!” He got up  and they were the first ones to dance at the high school prom. They had  both come with friends. “I’ll give you a ride,” he said. She accepted.  In the car she yawned and put her head on his shoulder. Abruptly, he  said out of the blue, “Will you go out with me?” “Of course,” she  answered. Silence was after that. When they got to a street with no  streetlights she said, “Drop me off here, I can find my way from here”.  “Ok” he said.    
1 month…
They were inseparable. They spent all their  time together. One night, on the full moon, she said softly, “I have  something important to tell you,” He looked at her and saw it was  serious. “what is it?” he said. She breathed in, then out. “I’m  a…Levinkin.” He stared at her, processing what this meant. She was a  human-angel. The Levinkins were a rare family of human-angels. She also  said “They’ll be coming for you soon. You don’t know why. Nobody does.  But I’ll protect you. Don’t worry. Even if the inevitable happens, I’ll  always be with you, no matter what.” When she said this, tears dripped  from her eyes and tracked down her cheeks. He got up and wiped them  away. ‘I understand.” He kissed her with the gentleness of light rain.  From the cloudless night, lightning rocketed through the air and struck  not 20 feet away. She gasped, grabbed his hand and ran. He stumbled and  followed behind her.
2 weeks…
She smiled at him. They were in his  living room watching a romantic movie on the couch. She looked worriedly  at the sky. It was a cloudless night. She jumped and ran, while he  followed. They got to a house and went inside and locked the doors.   That day…  She gently shook his shoulder to wake him up. He was still  sleeping from what happened last night. Her eyes took on a dreamy glaze.  He leaned up and yawned. She said, “Hurry. It’s today. They ran  together down the hall filled with other Levinkins and got to a dead  end. A lady dressed all in black walked up. “Meet your death, Avina  Levinkin and Nickel Denali.” “Sis…Why?” Avina whispered. “Because you  were the one that inherited mother’s gifts, if you are killed, I will  get the gifts.” Strips of Avina’s sister’s dress came off and wrapped  around her. She turned towards Nickel. “Run! Go! Don’t turn back! Save  yourself! Hurry!” Her pleas were cut off with her screams of pain.   Nickel turned and ran away.
Story 5
Alissa’s small beautiful blue eyes  gazed into the clear, blue water flowing from the river. She splashed  her reflection and cursed as she saw it again. The dreadful mark that  made her who she was, a fugitive running from the world. She didn’t like  it, no more than she liked the land around her, a burned field with no  trees in sight. She wished for lush green trees to enclose her, protect  her, and watch her when she dances, sings and learns to be quick, quiet,  sly, and fast. The long scar ran from the tip of her right eye and  curved in a spiral as the same with the other eye. Her limp dirty blonde  hair reached her waist. But the most noticeable thing is her ears. They  pointed upward like elves. Alissa was the last elf in Avon. The humans  had overthrown the elves long ago and they were all killed but every  thousand years an elf baby is born. They always killed the baby. But  Alissa had gotten away. Her mother molded human ears out of clay. Alissa  was always teased because the ears were so big. When her mother was  captured by moon dancers the humans found out. Her only hope was to find  the Black Spirits. Little did she know the Black Spirits were in a jam  and needed her. Kea, who was researching the power crystal, is sent to  get her. When they arrive back Kea and Alissa get sucked into the power  crystal. Kea finds Valon and they escape, only to find Alissa is trapped  in the crystal. Their only hope now is to get Alissa’s sister, who is a  half-elf without the ears. Her sister, Cassiopeia, gets her out but she  is sleeping. One night Valon sneaks into Alissa’s room and kisses her.  She wakes up but Valon is shocked. Valon loves Kea and Kea loves Valon,  right? Valon doesn’t know who he loves for real. Then when Cassiopeia  bumps into him at school and they accidentally kiss, he wonders, why do I  love Kea, Alissa, AND Cassiopeia?  The girls go on an adventure to find  out, what makes them all drawn to Valon? The truth is terrifying, and  only one will stay true to Valon.
Version 2.1 (Entirely different  storyline):
 I gazed into to the clear water and saw my small  beautiful blue eyes looking back at me. I splashed my reflection and  cursed as I saw it again. The dreadful mark that made me who I was, and  always will be, a fugitive running from the world. I didn’t like it, no  more than I liked the land around me, a burned field with no trees in  sight. I wished for lush green trees to enclose me, protect me, and  watch me when I dance, sing and learn to be the true me, an elf. The  long scar ran from the tip of my right eye and curved in a spiral as the  same with my other eye. My limp light brown/blonde hair reached my  waist. Mind you, I was tall. But the most noticeable thing about me is  my ears. They pointed upward like elves. I am the last elf in Vivca. Or  so I thought. The humans have overthrown the elves long ago and they  were all killed, but every hundred years or so a baby elf is born. They  had always killed the baby. Until now. I had gotten away. My mother had  molded human ears out of clay. I was always teased because the ears were  so big. I hated the teasing, people were so mean. But recently, people  have been getting suspicious about when the elf would show up, so scouts  have been scouting locations around the world for a year now. I had  just escaped when I came to the river. Its not far now, I thought as I  slipped into the river. I ducked under the water and breathed deeply.  The water was so sweet against my lips and hair and eyes. It cooled my  lungs. I slipped out of the tattered jeans and black tank top into my  midnight black dress. I slipped it over my head and it gently floated  down over my body. It engulfed my legs and feet and I looked at myself  through the eyes of a boy looking into the water. I looked like a dream,  blurry and translucent, with a long black dress on. Truly, the dress  was long, midnight black, spaghetti strapped, and corseted. I thought it  showed off my figure, an average(not skinny) hourglass. But still  seeing through the boy’s eyes, he thought, Beautiful. I have to not tell  my stepfather, though. He’d beat me for imagining it. But she’s so  beautiful… All of a sudden I was vaulted out of his head, and I started  swimming away when he called out, “Wait! What’s your name?” I turned and  looked him in the eyes, and saw an intelligent boy, almost a man, but  kind. I whispered in my singsong voice, “Alissa, but call me Listh” and  swam away. I heard him call out, “I’m Cameron, call me Cam. Why Listh?” I  yelled back at him, still underwater, “Because of a lisp I had, I was  nicknamed Listh.”      I didn’t tell him it was part of the soothe  seer’s telling. A telling, I learned, was a prophecy, but it could be  chosen to be fulfilled by anyone. The telling was this: 
On the blackest  moon, 
Of the summer equinox, 
After the autumn eclipse, 
A girl shall  rise, 
And journey to the Forbidden Lands,
She will come back  
A  woman, 
And with the key, 
To the elven cities, 
Where she will join  them, 
But come back to the human’s world
Because of a boy she met 
On  the journey, 
But is now a man. 
On the 27th day after she comes back
 To the human world, 
She will free her will, 
Along with others like  her. 
On the 13th day of the 1st month 
After she freed her will, 
She  will once again be shamed,
But rescued by the man
Of her dream.
   I  had never thought it was true. Until I found out I was named after the  line that went missing long ago:    
And then Listh will rise to be  queen, from the day of her birth, she had and will be marked with the  sign of the fays.    
Nobody knows what the sign of the fay is anymore,  except that it had something to do with the sky. All that I have is a  birth mark, which looks like a tattoo, of a star hanging on the sun.  Okay, back to the present, where I have been swimming down the river  after talking to that boy, Cam.
