Davina
Victoria walked into my room with a glass of juice and a biscuit on a small porcelain plate. I had barely eaten since leaving my parents home because of my nerves. I was terrified. The moment I woke up, I felt nauseated because of the dreams I had. I looked over at Victoria as she rummaged through my closet and chose my outfit for the day. “Victoria?" I questioned, “How long will I be here?” “For as long as you need to be. I cannot answer you with an exact number because we do not know the extent of the danger you’re in”, she responded. She grabbed the brush off the vanity and motioned for me to sit on the chair that was in front of her.

The Marigold Scripture
Mrs Devlin watched from behind the counter as Mara stood up suddenly, looking angry. Mara looked down at Antonio, disgusted with what she assumed was him trying to reconcile after leaving her at the altar. Nothing, nothing could make her forget the pain and humiliation she suffered. She hadn’t heard from him since the day before the wedding. His friends had tried to say he was just in shock, it was just a moment of panic. Said he would be back in her arms in no time, after realising what an idiot he had been.

The Merryweather Children
“Papa died,” Honor cried through the phone. “What happened?” I asked gathering the files on my desk and packing them away in the old ratted briefcase I had been carrying since I came to New York five years ago. Papa had given it to me, and it always reminded me of home. People always asked me why I never got a new one, especially when the handle started to rip at the seams and I poorly stitched it back together. Looking at it now though, it didn’t feel so sentimental anymore. It felt like I had missed something; something that I never should have.

Just Let Me Die Here (A Serialized Novel) 25
At some point, I do fall asleep, because when I wake suddenly, from a nightmare that I find myself instantly forgetting, left only with a lingering uneasy feeling, it is getting dark outside. I get out of bed and walk to the window. Snow. It’s falling fast. Large flakes blowing at a sharp angle through the sky, covering everything thickly and quickly. Each one that hits the window feels like a crash, a large explosion that rings in my ears.
