  It was an overcast day, as it is for the majority of days in England. The sky seemed to be indecisive as to whether it wanted to rain or remain as a blockade to the sun. The shadows of the clouds seemed to pillage what should have been the bright colors of spring, leaving the lush, vibrant colors as darkened versions of themselves. The dark green of the forest remained unchanged, dense and dark, a omnipresent site to any traveler.  A lone path cut through the forest, twisting and winding. It seemed to yield to the forest, twisting around a large tree instead of going straight, making any trip along it very tedious and time-consuming. Howe

A thick fog covered the slums of London, a haze within the darkness. The rain poured down, plunking off of the rusty metal sheeting that sat propped up against the narrow alleyway. However, another sound was soon present. Much like the pattering of rain, footsteps soon became audible. They were the light and quick footsteps of a fawn, if fawns roamed the narrow maze of alleyways in London. The owner of the steps sounded like they were running from someone...or something. The cloaked figure soon came into view, still running. They were panting, taking short sharp breaths. Their lungs screaming for air, they swerved into yet another alleyway. G

                The smell of rubbing alcohol clung to the air, as ever present as the fluorescent lighting. The room was small, barely big enough for the bed, IV and desk that it held. The comforter was a dull gray color, the kind that would make the coloration of asphalt seem more appealing. A large IV stand loomed nearby, the large mass of tubes meandering its way into a blue vein that shown faintly through the pale skin of an arm.                The arm’s owner was asleep. Long white hair was splayed all around the pillow, indicating that they had been restless. An eye patch covered her left eye.  A hospital gown covered her petite

Wake up,” said Lily softly.            My eyes fluttered open; I was lying on a canopy bed, covered by soft blankets. The bed was a lot more comfortable then my previous bed of the cold, hard forest floor.            “Where are we?” I asked looking towards Lily.            She was already fully dressed, making me feel slow in comparison. She smiled and said simply “We are at Headquarters, the Academy to be specific.              The Academy? I thought. Never been here before.            “Why are we here?” I asked pointing down at the ground.            She smiled and laughed slightly. “To r

I ran away from the barking dogs, their teeth snapping at my exposed heels. One of the teeth punctured the skin, causing a small prick of pain. Great I thought. All I need is another injury. It was the second injury in three days, a new record for me, but not that anyone is keeping track.            “Get her!” One of the guards who were running behind the dogs yelled in a raspy voice. “Get the traitor!” The dogs immediately obeyed quickening their pace and closing in on what little room separated us.            I tried to run faster, but the waves of exhaustion hit me hard, almost like wind, pushing me back, back t
