It’s a pirates’ life for me
Out of all the classes I’ve been forced to endure over the years, at least I enjoy this one. The clash of swords sparking against each other. The twinge of arrows pulling tight against the bow. The sparkle of metal armour as soldiers seemingly dance around each other as they strike and dodge away from each other. But of course I’m not technically allowed to be here right now. I really hate being princess sometimes!

The Raven Society
There was a secret meeting tomorrow night and she absolutely had to be there. The invitation had been left on her dining room table the night before, a small calling card with a Raven printed on the front and an address on the back with small words written ‘Be there at 7 p.m.’

THE CHOSEN ONE
When I was six, I had a strange dream. A man killed his wife brutally and then dumped her body in the river. After 3 days, the woman who was killed, her body was found near the river side. I was astonished while reading the newspaper. She was the same woman whom I saw dying but in my dreams. As I read further, she was tortured as the same way I saw and her husband was suspected the most by the police.

War
“Sarah Clark, please enter the seventh door on the left.” Sarah sat there for a moment staring into space, as she’d been sitting in the chair for so long she couldn’t actually feel her legs anymore. It took her thirty seconds to realise that her number had finally been called. She’d been waiting eighteen years for this moment, and she was finally getting the thing that would make her an adult, her Power. She’d no longer get called a child and looked at with pity by those who were only a few months older than her just because they’d turned eighteen and got their Power.

Princess of the Night
As the night turns into the light of dawn, Princess Banza awakens early with a zest for the day as her fiancé is set to arrive at the palace for their engagement ceremony. Banza sits up in her bed and slowly and elegantly stretches out and erases the slumber of the night before from her body and face. She hops out of her massive bed with ivory sheets, gold pillars and headboard to walk to grab her favorite deep red silk robe. She puts her robe on as she royally glides to her balcony to gaze at the beauty of the Congolese terrain. The sky has hues of pink, orange, yellow, and white as Banza gazes with adoration of God's creation but then a sudden knock at her door interrupts her alone time.

The Mermaid's Treasure
Deep under the ocean’s surface, the flame flickers. Its wick has long since burnt away, the wax that once held it high now a pool beneath it. It is surrounded by the sea and buffeted by the tides.

Tas-Setta
Small balls of light bob gently around the abandoned church. They drift to and fro, like tightly packed stands of fairy floss tossed in the wind. To an outsider, they’d look peaceful, even pleasant. But that is far from the truth. The kobba are restless, agitated, angry. The souls want vengeance for their unjust deaths, they wait for a saviour to put them to rest.

Imaginary Friend
The smell of the burning rubber filled my nose and made me gag. It only took me a moment to remember where I was and what had gotten me here. I was hanging upside down, still strapped to the seat. I could hear Molly crying, pleading for someone to help me. I tried to tell her that it was alright, that I was going to be ok. No matter how I tried to speak, the words only came out as a whisper.

Guardian Demon
Heaven. Such a beautiful paradise. Brandishing a silvery halo, soft wings, and a pure white robe, I watched the happenings of the humans on the strange planet below. Back then, each angel was given a soul to watch over and guide. I had been minding my own business when I first laid eyes on my assignment. I remember it as if I were there yesterday.
