Maybe a long-distance reunion? I dont really know what to send so you can ignore these if you want

“I...is that really you?” Alex blinked in disbelief. It couldn’t be, right? But it was. Standing in front of him was someone he never thought he’d see again. He could barely process the familiar face it had been so long.

“I thought you were gone for good! W..we fought.. And you blocked me and you moved away and I know i fucked up bad but I-”

“You’re nervous…. You always talk like that when you’re nervous,” the other chuckled and moved to stroke Alex’s hair.

“Bu...but you lived like… on the other side of the planet…!”

“Yeah… I know…”

Alex watched as hurt flickered in his eyes, a momentary pause in speech. He couldn't read the others' facial expressions at all. Irritatingly enough, that was normal. Alex squinted as he tried his best to read the man’s thoughts, knowing he never could.

“I… I missed you.. I missed you so much…” Alex began to tear up as he lunged to try and hug the other. His advances however were ignored as the other side stepped away.

“We’re not okay Alex… I… just wanted.. It felt like.. It was time to talk. Face to face. Like real people. We can’t blame it on the distance forever. You can’t blame it on the distance forever.

“I.. I know Zeke..”

I found a place

Where the sun meets the sky

I watch dreams pass by

Theyre in the clouds

Infinity bound

Barely out of reach.

I found a place

Where water meets sand

Plenty of people offering a hand

Smiles on their faces

Helping reach new places

Barely out of reach.

I found a place

I call it my own

A sort of internet home

Filled with people i love

A place I'm underseving of

Barely out of reach.

Senji: Lost at Heart

Senna was a young girl, someone her parents took pride in. She was pretty, intelligent, but a bit shy and sensitive.

"Sen.. C'mon.. You can make at least one friend can't you...?" Her sister would gently coax anytime they were out. Each time she was met with a headshake.

One day however, two blonde children moved in near by and she felt compelled to introduce herself.

"I-I'm Senna... My friends call me Sen....."

"Hey Sen!!! I'm Richard and this is my big brother Liam! He doesnt act or look like my brother but I swear he is!!"

And that, that was enough to kick off a friendship last through their entire lives. However things weren't always easy.

"You're Dad walked out cause you wanna be a boy, loser!"

Watch what you say about my friend Mickey..."

"Why should I Scunder? Youre too tiny to do anything about-"

That day, Senji witnessed his first murder. Watching, scared as Richard, a sweet, bubbly, kind boy beat the brunette into a bloody pulp, watching the life drain from his eyes. Not a single ounce of regret clear on the ten year olds face. Afraid, Senji ran home, crying to his mother. A woman he found to be sweet and loving toward him for most of his life.

She was sweet and gentle, fully understanding and kind until Senji turned thirteen years old.

"Mommy... I need to speak with you..."

"What is it, Princess...?"

"I.. I've been thinking.. For a while now.. And I... I want to be a boy.. Could you ca-"

"No."

"What?"

"I said no. You aren't a 'boy', Senna. You're a girl. You'll always be my baby girl.. Grow up and get over yourself."

"But Mom I-!"

"Do not argue with me, Princess..."

"I hate that nickname."

"Do you hate me too?"

"What? No of cours-"

"Of course you hate me! Why else would my baby girl want to destroy what little i have left?!" the woman snapped. Empty alcohol bottle of various nature where littered throughout the house. His mother wreeked and could be smelled from a block away. She began to laugh as she grabbed a kitchen knife. She sat Senji down, pressing a lit cigarette to his pinkish pale, sensitive flesh.

He screamed in pain and tried to weasle away. Her grip however was tight as Senji Began to cry.

"Your father left! Your sister left! And no you wanna leave me too?! Am i not good enough for you people?! Do you want to watch me crash and bur?! Huh, do you?!" He screamed in Senji's tear stained face. She picked the knife back up and held it to her throat.

"I'm going to do it! None of you need me! I'm worthless to you aren't I?! Just a piece of garbage! An inconvenience in your life right?!" She said, laughing like a lunatic.

"Mommy please.. Youre scaring me-"

"Grow up Senna! The world isn't your friend! You'll have your heart ripped from your chest" set on fire, crushed, thrown out, cut up, and every single.other thing someone could do to it!"

He was scrambling to find his phone, desperate to call for help as he watched his mother pressed the knife to her throat. Small drops of red stained the silver knife but she hadn't yet cut deep.

She didn't get the chance. Senji had managed to calm her into a crying mess instead, letting her be taken away from him.

He decided that night to pack a bag and live with his friends, afraid of being put into foster care or back with his mother.

Over the next five years hed have his heart crushed more times than he could count. He was dumped, used, abused, haressex, shattered, left to cry.. Nothing worked out.

He felt his life becoming pointless. Thats when he joined the government brach Crystal Thorn. Finding his purpose, he kept going. With the money he earned he got his surgeries, game consoles, testorone, and almost anything he could ask for.

He only.had one issue with the job. He couldnt save everyone.

He watched a girl his age be slaughtered before his eyes one day. That shattered him past repair. To this day he still has nightmares staring her face. He dedicates poems and tattoos to the girl he couldnt save. He never even got to know her name.

Cross Star: A Child's Tale

Cross was intelligent from a very young age, showing promise almost immediately. He flew through elementary school like it was nothing, though his family was no where near surprised.

The young boy was quiet and well mannered, close with his older sister Amber. He loved his parents dearly and never thought they'd do him any harm.

Slowly however, things changed in the young boy's life. It started with his sister being taken away from the home. This of course devestated Cross who cried for days over her. His parents told him it was for the better, that she was toxic for the family. Despite his feelings of anger, he pushed it all down at the young age of six.

He was cold and calculated for the longest time. He managed to put up with the pressure his parents both placed on his shoulders. He was expected to grow up to be quite wealthy. Things seemed to normal, if not a bit quiet without Amber around anymore.

By fifth grade Cross had a strict routine. School, homework, private lessons, chores, dinner, bed. His bedroom was cold and nearly empty. It wasn't what you'd expect a young boy's room to look like. There were textbooks stacked neatly, a well organized desk. Not a scrap of trash or hint of a toy anywhere to be seen.

He thought this was normal for kids his age. He didn't have many friends or anyone to talk to.

Again, things began to change for him. He started acting out, more hostile. He seemed to having panic attacks. While most would blame the intense pressure placed on the boy, that would soon be disproven.

By the young age of ten years old, he was diagnosed with Schizophrenia.

As if disgusting, his mother quickly through him away just like she did his sister. His father tried to fight her on it but simply couldn't.

His foster home treated him poorly, and his father stopped visiting after a few days. He was sad and alone... Until he found his first crush. The first boy he'd ever stalk.

By fifteen he had grown close to this boy, dating him, loving him, cherishing him. Micheal was the light of his sad, cold, and empty life. By seventeen he had graduated early and had already gotten an advanced pass into the business field.

He decided the best way to live, was to prove his parents wrong. He strived to be powerful, loved, and wealthy. By nineteenB he'd achieved all three goals.

Chua had always been a curious young boy. He was always fascinated by the water. The waves, reflections, the beasts hiding beneath the surface. Much to the young boy's dismay he was never allowed to swim. He could take a boat out if he wished, but he had to follow the rules.

He didn't question this when he was younger, when he was a teenager he had forgotten, but when he turned nineteen he decided to break the rules.

He was motivated by all the stories his mother told him in his youth. Stories of sirens and mermaids. The great Leviathan and Cthuluhu. He was entranced by it all.

He had decided that tonight he'd go searching for a siren. He wanted to hear their call at least once. His mother always described their songs as mysterious, beautiful, and luring. He wanted to see if the songs were as beautiful as his mother claimed. Despite the danger, the young adult got a boat and took it out to the water. It was late at night and the air was nippy.

He spent several hours listening and looking for any sign of the mystical creatures. Just as he was about to give up and head home, he heard it. He heard the sound of distant singing swimming in the air. He of course headed toward it. As he got closer a realization sunk in. The song sounded oh so familiar. It wasn't until he stopped to really listen he understood why.

The voice was different for sure, but there was no denying the melody or the lyrics. It was the song his mother sang to him. A lullaby he loved as a child. He hadn't noticed the tears pooling in the corners of his eyes as he listened. Despite having never swum before, he jumped into the water. He was expecting to fall prey to the sirens, but instead they protected him. He realized in that moment, the truth. His mother, him, they were sirens.

After that night, Chua learned to embrace his roots. His deadly, beautiful, mysterious roots.

Sirens are beautiful and powerful beings that lure people to their deaths by singing an old and beautiful song. You really want to find sirens and one night you take a boat and go into the sea to find them. You hear a song that is exactly the song your mother used to sing to you when you were a child.

Vanish

“Lori!! Loriiiii!!! I haven’t see you in such a long time!”

The brunette turns to see her long forgotten energetic friend. Her face however doesn’t look overjoyed, but rather he lips were turned to a scowl.

“Mei…?” She said, her voice a harsh whispered as she looks the other girl over.

She had messy dyed hair, bluer than aby river Lori had ever seen. Her eyes a beautiful brown with touches of gold like fall leaves. Her fair skin matched the darker tones of clothing.

“Oh good, you do remember me!”

“I wish I didn’t…”

“W-what..?” The bluenette said as her face dropped. “You’re.. You’re kidding right? We’re besties!”

“We were besties…” Lori muttered, her grip on her school bag growing tighter. Her heart dropped to the ground along with her gaze.

“You’re still not over that silly mistake?”

“Silly mistake?! You almost got me killed! Then you ignored me for two years!” She snaps, her head quickly raising to look at the other. White hot rage was the only thing you could.distinguish in Lori’s forrest green eyes.

“But that’s all water under the bridge right?”

“…. Of course…. Sorry…”

“No biggie! Let’s just get to class kay?” She says, a grin spreading on her pale face.

“Yeah…. Right…” Lori spoke.

She didn’t know what cane over her that day.

She dragged her sneaker clad feet behind the other girl. However, once school was over for that day, Mei was not heard from"

Not a text, not a post, not a selfie. She had seemingly vanished.

And the ghost that was once a girl was never seen again either.

No one knows what happened to Lori and Mei that day.

There were no bodies. No blood. No screams. Nothing.

They vanished without a trace.
