Our eyes meet and it brought me back. “I want her arrested!” Johnathan yelled as he stood up. He had a bruise starting to show on his jaw.

Warning lights bled red across the helicopter cabin as the air tightened like a fist. Star sat still, hands folded, one eye turning gold. The aircraft shook. Bullets fired—then froze inches from her face. Her dress darkened into black and gold, symbols burning across her skin. She lifted a finger. Gravity bent. The bullets reversed, ripping through steel.

This short story is one of my most unique works. This is a backstory for supporting characters of my online Wattpad novel, The Mystical Dreamcatcher. The story is about the Moirai sisters aka the Goddesses of Fates from Greek Mythology, and how they're living in the post - mdoern era in Brooklyn, NYC. We have all seen different versions of the Goddesses of Fates in various Greek stories, and also movies and series such as Disney's Hercules animated film and DC's the Sandman series on Netflix, Blood of Zeus animated series (also by Netflix), and they were often represented as evil characters. However, in this story, they almost have that kind of element, but they're actually on the good side. When you read this story, you'll find out for yourself, give it a try.

The Corvette slowed as red and blue lights flared behind us. “Are we speeding?” I asked. Jakari shook his head. “No… the car’s stolen.” Two cop cars pulled up; their badges didn’t match anything Jayla could find. “They’re fake cops!” she yelled. Before we knew it, they attacked. Jakari moved like a storm, disarming and taking down the officers with precision. I watched, frozen, as my hands shook. Once it was over, Jakari grabbed me, and we raced back to the warehouse, hearts pounding, silence hanging heavy over what just happened.

Before I get going, let me give you some information on Stella Hill. The chosen one, the hero, the one that saved us all. You don’t know who she is? How can that be? She’s everywhere. Everyone is talking about her. Don’t get me wrong. I love her, maybe a little too much. Growing up it’s been the two of us. Most people thought we were sisters, twins. We were always together.
