Excerpt:
INTO YOU
by Riley J. Ford
It happens in the movie theater when I finally kiss Ethan Cooper. Her body rocks, I hear him say, except he doesn’t speak. Not out loud, anyway. At first I think it’s someone whispering behind us. Then I wonder if Miranda’s playing a joke on me until I remember she’s sitting four seats away making out with Billy Timmons. When Ethan’s lips touch mine again and I hear his voice—she needs a breath mint—loud and clear like a TV announcer in my brain, I yank back and stare at him. My neck prickles with fear and my heart pounds hard. What the hell is going on? “Did you say something?” I ask. I hope he has some kind of ventriloquist powers and I’m not losing my mind. “Uh, no. I was in the middle of kissing you.” He sort of laughs, his fingers stroking my neck. I pull away and look at the screen. Julia Roberts blathers on about something with her big horse teeth. My heart races uncontrollably, thumping so loudly I can almost hear my ribs rattling, and not because I’ve just kissed the boy who I’ve crushed on since June. No, it’s racing because something really freaky has just happened—twice—and I can’t deny it. “What’s wrong?” Ethan asks. I can feel him staring at me in the dark. “You said I need a breath mint,” I mutter. I wait for him to react. After all, it was his voice I’d heard. It just happened to be inside my head when he said it. But maybe he was playing some sort of trick on me. Maybe I’m mistaken. I sure hope so. Ethan is quiet for a long moment before speaking. “Uh, I didn’t realize I said it out loud.” “So you did say it?” Someone behind us shushes us. “I must have,” he says. “How weird.” “Well, thanks a lot for telling me I have bad breath. Makes a girl feel real special.” “Hey, don’t be pissed. I didn’t mean it in a bad way.” As if there’s a good way to mean it. I slump down in my seat. Inside I’m actually sort of relieved. Ethan did say it out loud. Not inside my head. Maybe I’m just tired. Or whacked out on soda. All that caffeine can mess you up, especially those huge paper tankers of soda they sell at the movies. I would hate to think I have a mental problem or am crazy or something. Being a normal girl from Redondo Beach suits me fine, a normal girl about to enter her junior year of high school who is just enjoying her summer. I go to the beach with my best friend Miranda, talk about boys, hit the mall, eat cheese fries with ranch dressing, experiment with different kinds of make-up, and watch TV after dinner. Nothing too out-of-the-ordinary or weird has ever happened to me—unless you count the time I made a half-court throw at a RBHS game and won a hundred dollars and a wheel of Brie. See, being normal is exhausting enough. Definitely no room in my life for being psychic or reading minds! Ethan pokes my arm. “You okay?” “What’s good about bad breath?” I whisper, moving my body away from him. My face is hot, stinging with embarrassment. I shouldn’t have had those grilled onions on my burger before our date. What was I thinking? Dragon breath is not an accessory a girl should wear. “Dude, it’s really no big,” he says. “Just get some gum later, okay?” More shushing behind us, loudly. I sit fuming in silence, not knowing if I should get up and leave or what. But then Ethan’s arm snakes slowly around my shoulders and that tingle returns—the one I’ve gotten every time I’ve seen him at the hot dog place where he works at the mall. I’ve spent all summer going there, using every cent of my allowance on corn dogs, hot dogs, fries, mozzarella sticks, and lemonades (and gaining a friggin’ five pounds because of it), just so I could see him. I finally got up my courage to give him my phone number, and he’d grinned and said he would call. He finally did, and now here we are with Miranda and her sometimes-boyfriend sitting four seats away while I try not to breathe oily onion fumes on this hot guy with spiked blonde hair and a nice laugh. “I’m sorry,” he whispers in my ear. He leans in and kisses me again with those soft full lips that I’ve stared at for so long. His face this close feels nice. He’s so cute. If he doesn’t mind my breath, I shouldn’t either. Okay, Winter, chill, I tell myself. I’ll just go buy some mint gum the second we leave the theater. Ethan’s lips are warm and moist on mine. I relax against his body. What’s her problem? She’s acting so uptight. His voice reverberates through my head again. And it is definitely in my head because his mouth is still on mine! I didn’t mean to mention the breath, but if she’s gonna be so lame about it, I’ll ditch her after the flick and go find my bros. Who needs this shit? Chicks come into Diggety Dog a dime a dozen, and I can have any of them. There’s always another ho around the corner. I yank out of Ethan’s embrace, my body trembling. What is happening? His voice was in my brain, loud and clear and unmistakable. Am I losing my mind? I need to know. “Why would you talk to me like that?” I ask. “It’s rude.” I hope he’ll admit he was messing with me, talking out the side of his mouth or something, joking in a lame sort of way. “I didn’t say anything.” Ethan’s tone sounds pinched, weird. “Yes, you did. I heard you say you’re going to ditch me to hang out with your bros, that I’m uptight, that girls are a dime a dozen, and that there’s always another ho around the corner!” Anger seizes me. “Did you just call me a ho?” A voice behind us hisses loudly, “Quiet!” Ethan doesn’t say anything. His silhouette is stiff, like a cardboard cutout of himself. He jumps up. “I’m outta here!” Then he’s gone, loping up the aisle.

MADE TO FORGET
by Samantha LaFantasie
ALL AT ONCE, THE weight and darkness lifted. I sucked in a deep breath, sitting up in the cloudlike bed. Immediately, I found that abominable man staring out the window. I left the bed, fueled by anger. I approached, stopping before I got too close to strangle him. “What the hell did you do to me?” “What was necessary to keep you here … and safe.” “According to who?” I snapped. “The man that loves you and would turn this world upside down if it meant keeping you safe.” He sounded despondent, continuing to stare out the window. “I’ve got news for him–if he even exists–keeping me prisoner and taking my memories from me isn’t love, it’s torture. If he really loved me, he’d be here and I would have answers. Besides, now I’m getting a headache.” A throb started at my left temple and pulsed through my head. “He loves you more than he loves his own people. That’s why your father was angry. As soon as your relationship was discovered, he disowned you and refused to listen to any reason. Even when he was told the truth about you. You must have thought the man who loves you was worth it, at one point.” “He—he’s Nepherium?” “Yes,” he said, barely above a whisper. “I guess that makes sense,” I said. He turned to me with eyes wide, full of questions. “My dad said I was mixing blood with them. He was in such a heated rage I barely understood what he said. But there’s more that I need to know.” “What’s that?” he asked. “Why would my lover want me to forget him?” “He hoped that while you couldn’t remember, you’d stay alive. He could protect you and finish the mission.” The way he looked at me, pulling me in, made me weak in the knees. “And how would he feel about the way you’re looking at me?” I asked before I could stop the words. He blinked away, turning his attention to the window before sighing and taking a seat in the shadowed chair. I pushed further. “Or about knocking me out before bringing me here?” He leaned forward on his knees, covering his face with his hands. “I’m …” I waited a few seconds for him to continue. When he didn’t, I wondered if I heard anything at all. “What?” “You have to understand, for him, he’d move the moon and stars to keep you safe. He did the only thing he could to save your life.” “And you? What is your place in all of this? Why did you give me a ring to cover up a strange tattoo? Why can’t I see him?” “I’m your partner. It is my job to protect you. I can’t answer the last one.” “Can’t or won’t?” I retorted. “Pick one,” he snapped. “You told me if I thought I could kill you, you’d let me, because you deserved it. What did you do that would warrant me killing you?” “Please understand, this is more difficult than giving simple answers to your questions. It’s far more complicated.” I smiled at him, because it was the only thing I could do with his ridiculous beating around the bush. He sat up, seemingly disarmed by my small action.
