PART TWO - How Far We’ve Come Matchbox Twenty The first challenge came within the next hour. That’s when the parents arrived. “Mom, I’m fine!” Axelia, despite the strength in her words, holds tight onto her mother. She’d never thought she’d be so happy to smell the clean, simple air her mom always carries around her. “I mean, I won’t be, if you keep squeezing me like this-ouch!” Mrs. Olympia draws back, holding her daughter by the shoulders, arms length. “I cannot believe we couldn’t get here sooner, because of law enforcement.” She scowls, examining her daugh

JERRAN DODSON B.l.a.c.k.c.a.t. People consider me lucky. Me. Lucky. Two things that don’t compute in the same sentence, usually. There are some exceptions. Usually, because I’m lucky that my face hasn’t frozen into a permanent scowl. That’s serious luck, when you think about how much my face twists into one day-to-day. Really, it’s kind of shocking. There are other things, but I’ll get to that later, if it fits with what I’m trying to say. But, right now, what I’m trying to say is I’m not that lucky. My father left my mother and I - for unforeseen circumstances that my mother refus

Part ONE of FOUR ONE: Peace - O.A.R. Gale’s eyes stay on the graphite on the torn-out piece of legal pad paper that one of the nurses happily gave him when he politely requested for it. His handwriting had always been atrocious, and being lefty never helped with the smudging and smearing with both the graphite and the pressure of the side of his hand. It’s shining on his hand as he bends it this way and that in the light. But, that’s not what has his attention right now. It is the things he has written on the paper. Things he has been jotting down on this paper that have been floating around in his head since his discussi

Hold My Hand - The Fray Hospitals are becoming a regular hangout place for the Guard, and Jerran is frankly getting sick of it.    He’s also getting sick of how fast news spreads about how certain celebrities are being rushed into the Emergency Room so early in the morning. Especially the way that Gale and Axelia look - one with supposed blood poisoning, the other with roping bruises around her neck, torso, and legs. Ursula attempted to squeeze the life out of her, and almost succeeded. Amber’s well-placed hit caused jaw displacement and a bloody nose, not to mention the unattractive bruise growing up her cheek and down her jaw

Anti Gravity - Lindsey Stirling Waverly isn’t much of a light sleeper, but for some reason, she keeps waking up. There is something nagging in the back of her head, something she can’t quite put her finger on, that is keeping her awake. She sits up and rubs the sleep out of her clear grey eyes. She leans back, and winces at the pressure on her back. She’s always had back problems, but since coming back from the GRID, it’s been worse. She’s surprised that isn’t the reason why she’s still awake. Waverly crosses her legs, and reaches for her phone. Maybe Gale is awake, it is early but he has sporadic s

The Phoenix - Fall Out Boy Gale didn't notice the black ink until he paced the carpet, and it squished between his toes. Gale leaps backwards, falling backwards on his bed. He gasps, his voice hitching in his throat as he scrambles to turn the light on his nightstand on. He looks down in utter horror at his feet, an oily sheen coating his feet. The skin on them starts to burn. He sucks wind through his teeth as he tries to wipe it off with his blankets. His hand jerks back when the upmost layer of skin gives way to a raw, under layer. Blood mingles with the oily stuff, Gale's head spins. He looks over at the ink-colored stuff spilling out u

Tiptoe - Imagine Dragons Gale has been pacing around his room for a while now, sweat prickling on his hairline and drenching his bangs. He has never felt so trapped before, and loving the air as much as he does, he doesn't like it. Not one bit. It's times like these he wonders why Wayne had ever chosen him to be part of the Kingdom Guard, as its leader nonetheless. He's cracking under the pressure, and if Finn doesn't come soon, he might just let everyone - possibly the innocence and magic of the entire world - fall into the Overtaker's clutches. But, as he thinks this way, he knows what would happen if he ever voiced this around his teamm
