When I think of our past, I don't imagine it as a love story. Brooke Eastham was beautiful, rich, and completely out of my league, but I was okay with that. I knew where I belonged and where my family ranked on the ladder of success. I wasn't looking to disrupt the order, but Cape Cod in the summer held an aura of magic, and every clear image and boundary was blurred by teenage inhibitions. When the fog cleared, we would step back into our rightful places until the magnetic vibrations in our hearts could no longer be ignored, and we would snap back together.The seed of our relationship was planted in the sand along the beach, and the roots grew out to the ocean, only to be swallowed up by the currents before it had a chance to bloom. Our fates were so intricately intertwined, the threads of our futures closely weaving together to make a tapestry of beautiful colors, telling a story of young love, loss, and ultimately, forgiveness. This isn't an epic love story. It's a tragic burn of lust-fueled summers and cold, lonely winters. A cautionary tale of the heart's current as it drags you under the crashing waves of infatuation, only to let you sink to the bottom of despair.

The Reaper is hot on your tail,What have you done?You've made it onto her list,Who did you hurt?The hunt is just the beginning,How far can you run?Your soul is hers to reap,Where can you hide?Watch out for her scythe,Why do you cry?The life of a vigilante is meant to be a lonely one,Roaming darkened streets and collecting secrets.Until the four of them forced their way into mine,Stirring up feelings I didn't know I had.But if they try to fuck with my plans,My pretty knife will be through their throats and my bloody scythe on their foreheads.

Tempest SkeighIt's addicting.The pull of a melodic beat as it teases your body into moving, The heat of your skin as it warms under the eyes filled with lustful intent, And the rush of your blood as you bare your soul.Dancing has always been my life, No matter if it's on a pole or a stage.It was supposed to change my life and take me to better places.Instead, it threw me into his clutches and I can only hope to escape with minimal damage.Raiden JamesIt's addicting.The sounds vocal chords can make as they vibrate with song or scream, The tip of a sharpened blade as it sinks into flesh, And the gentle caress of blood as it coats your skin.Singing on stage has been my life, But the promises I made in exchange for fame are daunting.Now my vengeance is close at hand and my foes are lined up in a row.Then she drops in my lap and it takes everything in me not to slice her open, Just to coat my skin in her blood.
