Then he stood up so quickly, he knocked over his chair, and rushed over to me to grab me in a warm embrace. I hugged him back, glad to have someone to hold on to again. “Oh, I never...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/Character_creator/558588“I-I’ll be right down then.” He said shakily. I quickly tucked the pendent back under my shirt, and looked over my shoulder yet again. Calm down. I told myself quickly, shaking myself. They couldn’t attack you now anyway, not yet. I looked up again at the glowing clouds which hid the moon from...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/Character_creator/558230Rain came down heavily, drenching me as I hurried down the dark street. I kept looking over my shoulder to be sure I was not being pursued. I caught a glimpse of the waxing half-moon in cloud-blackened sky. Time is running out. I felt my heart beating against my chest, against the pendent that...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/Character_creator/557117Shayden crept down the stone stairs, careful not to alert his parents or any of the guards.

Die? “What?” She asked, feeling numb. “Is it cancer? An infection? Was this the secret you were hiding?”...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/Character_creator/551938“What about when I am not here?” His voice was gentle but it carried his words like a dagger. She looked over at him, surprised to see him looking down at the ground. “Shane, don’t say things like that.” She said, her fear overcoming the tears in her eyes. “Of course you will be here, you have...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/Character_creator/551267“I’ll never tell anyone.” She whispered. He was quiet. Though it was too dark to see his face, she thought she could see him faltering. Karin decided to take this chance to sweeten the deal. “I’ll give you a kiss.” She said sweetly. “No.” Frowning, she put the small foil-wrapped chocolate back...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/Character_creator/550411“Ah, so you are Kay, am I right?” “That is correct.” I answered without looking up from my drink.
