Descending Shadows: Shelter

Image
We turned around to find the monsters coming at us. The more of them we slew, the more they poured into the room. We were outnumbered, and running out of space. I knew that if we didn’t act quickly, we’d be dead; so I released Arabella and asked her to teleport everyone in the cellar away from there. Reluctantly, she agreed. I could hear Jason call out to me as they disappeared, but there was no time for us to say our goodbyes. Some of us got injured as the battle waged on, and we were all losing energy. All hope seemed to slowly abandon us when Arabella reappeared. We counted our blessings and teleported out of there with her right away and, as we arrived at where the others were, Jason ran up to me yelling “Moon, I thought I’d never see you again!” I smiled and hugged him tightly. “Oh, no, you’re not getting rid of me that easily. Didn’t I promise never to leave you?” We were close to the twins’ home, so we went back there to prepare for the hordes that pursued us....

A Legend Entrapped: Part I

  I was about to stop searching the book racks and turn around to check out when I noticed a book titled ‘King Arthur’. Sadly, it was exceeding my budget, so I decided to leave it behind; but, as I turned around, a voice whispered: “Look in your pocket.” I looked around and found no one near me. I put my hand inside my trouser pocket and found just the right amount of money to buy the book. “What’s happening here? Am I hallucinating?” I bought the book and headed home. My mom saw my face and asked what was wrong. I was hesitant to tell her what happened, but she persuaded me into talking. Mom said it was probably stress because of my ongoing exams. Later that night, I was studying maths when the book about King Arthur fell off my book rack. I picked it up and put it back in place, but it fell off the rack again after I sat at my desk. “What the hell is with this book? Is it cursed?” I wasn’t sure if I even wanted to pick it up again, so I just left it on the floor. After an hour, I...

Monster Friend

My twin sister, Annie, always complained about monsters being under her bed and asked my parents to chase them away. She would often scream, making me lose sleep every day since we shared the same bedroom. One day, I decided to sleep under her bed to get her to stop complaining. Annie pleaded with me not to do it, but I said I’d prove to her that there was nothing to worry about. Grabbing my pillow and blanket, I crawled into that narrow space and stared up into the darkness. It wasn’t long before I was beginning to fall asleep, but I was suddenly jolted by movement next to me. I turned to my left and found myself stupefied at the sight before me: it was a humanoid girl no bigger than me, but her skin was pale blue, and she had a third eye on her forehead. I was about to scream when the girl covered my mouth and shook her head. “Please don’t make me hide; I mean you no harm.” There was a tremble in both her voice and her hands. My instincts told me I could trust her, so I nodded and mo...
