Excerpt from Divided

Here is a excerpt from Divided.
Written from Twilight's POV.

I wove through the maze of stalls and people that crowded the streets of Horizon. It was getting late so I slowly made my way to an inn.
The Flying Pig was noisy and full of people, the smell that reached my nose was far from pleasant. As I headed for the counter, I noticed a man in a uniform watching me.
"Excuse me," I said to the short lady behind the counter, “Do you have a room available?"
She looked up and noticing the man who was watching me replied, "Sorry, we're full. Please leave." She then quickly disappeared through a door.
Puzzled I headed out the front door. Outside a hand suddenly seized my arm, and a gruff voice demanded "Where are your papers?"
I whirled around and came face to face with the uniformed man from inside.
Staring into his face I demanded, "Let me go!" I tried to twist my arm free.
He tightened his grip and snarled, "Papers first."
"What papers? I don’t know what you’re talking about." I replied still trying to get free.
"No paper? Then you're coming with me, Missy." The guard growled. He dragged me toward a cart.
After removing a rope from inside it he tied my arms together "Get in." he commanded.
I had no choice but to listen. He climbed into the front and we drove off.

Guardians of Allura, A Short Story

It's been a while since I posted one of these, if you want to read the others  here and here . Willow was back in the garden again. The red roses and white lilies were arranged exactly as she remembered them. And in the centre of the garden was the huge oak, its leaves always red. Under the oak Alicia sat beside her on the bench. "Willow," Alicia said to the young girl, "Do you think you can keep a secret?" Willow shifted on the bench and looked up at her, "Sure." Alicia drew a necklace from her pack. She held it up for Willow to see. A simple round Obsidian stone hung from the silver chain. "This is a very special stone." Alicia explained as the stone twirled around though the air. "And I want you to look after it. But you must never show it to your Aunt or let her take it." Alicia dropped it into Willow's hand. "I won't." Willow replied staring at the stone. "Alicia!" Ashera's voice echo through th...

Lest We Forget

So I know it's not April, but I needed something to post. So here is a flash fiction. April 25th At the end of the alley the metal soldier stood forgotten. He stared down the paved path, his arm raised in an eternal salute. The rust had crawled over his features, and a spider spun a web in the crook of his arm. An old dried bottlebrush wreath lay at his feet. If only someone remember. The old lady walked slowly down the road; a crown of rainbow flowers graced her head. She paused outside the cake shop. Something nagged at the edge of her mind. Finally, she grabbed it. April 25th She hurried off and before long she stood infront of the metal soldier in the long-forgotten alley. She removed the flower crown from her head and replaced the dried wreath at his feet. And said three words. Three word that were engraved on the soldier’s pedestal. Three word that should never be forgotten. "Lest We Forget." Estella Kate
