AC/DC'S_LVR's stories
i write a lot. when im not writing [and sometimes when im writing] i read.and since the people in the OTF don't appreciate my talents [*cough*GreyFox*cough*] i decided to just post them here
*note-a lot of my books/stories include magic and many forms of magic
*also, i like to merge different worlds [por ejemplo: i may use the characters or story plot of say.......InuYasha, and mix it with people from......Harry Potter.] i also use people i know a lot, so if youre in one of my stories, good job 👆 so keep on the lookout for people you recognize from different shows, movies or books
*plus...i like vampires so many of my main characters are vampires
okay then! this first story im posting won me a Scholastic Arts & Writing Merit Award last year [2008]. Enjoy!!!
A White Dove
Jack Reigan crouched down behind a low wall, the only thing left of an office building. Dust and smoke surrounded him, as though he was the only thing left in the world. In the distance, the sound of a grenade caused a small tremor to run through his books and legs, straight to his very core.
Just to think, just under a month ago, Jack was sitting with his girlfriend in a very nice restaurant, both proposing to her and giving her the grave news of being drafted into the U.S. Army Corps. Although she hid her sadness away from Jack, he could still feel the disappointment in her eyes. He could still, even now, smell the perfume on her soft skin, as he boarded the ship to Germany.
Since then, he’s seen countless people being shot or blown apart. Seen the horror of those caught by the gas, without a mask. Never ending bombs fall without knowing which side dropped them. People who ran from the trenches were only to be shot by their own Commanding Officers.
Another grenade fell in the distance, closer now. Was it the Germans? The British? Or was it his own regiment? Jack clutched his gun close to his chest. Now, Jack realized how loudly his heart pounded in his chest, as the rain would pound on their bunkers, late at night.
“Halt!!!” Jack shouted to the figures approaching him.
At least seven black silhouettes were marching forward, all holding guns pointed at him. The bayonets gleamed, although there was no sun in the smoky sky.
“I said halt!! Who are you?! What alli…” Jack cut off, felling the pain.
A pain, unlike any other, shot straight through his chest. It stung his very being, straight to the core of his soul. As Jack lay on his back, a pure white dove flew overhead. As he took in his last few precious breaths, Jack allowed himself a small smile at the wondrous site. For the smoke had cleared, letting in a small section of sky, not just any sky though. For Jack Reigan, it was the most beautiful sky in the world.
With a shaky hand, Jack reached into a breast pocket and took out the picture of his fiancé that was taken the day before his departure. He saw her golden blonde curls as they flowed over her slender shoulders, when she posed for the camera.
A face loomed over Jack. American. He was shot by one of his own. Although the man’s mouth moved, no words reached him.
“Tell her…I love her…”Jack whispered.
The last sight that reached him was the dove again, white as freshly fallen snow, against the perfect blue sky.
