EPIC NEWS (clarification: This is Epic news for me. It should be for you too, but some might disagree - you can go elsewhere if that's the case)! Candyland is doing a special guest post over at my blog Jules and the Stars.
You.Do.Not.Want.To.Miss.The.Awesome.
Four Words: Matt Brady & Candyland (& counts as a word)
So after you're done checking out Jules place you can decide which of these tickels your fancy (who says that?).
First Sentences
1. My sister Justine always believed that the best way to deal with your fear of the dark is to pretend it's really light.
2. An hour before Azalea's first ball began, she paced the ballroom floor, tracing her toes in a waltz.
3. I woke up in a dingy claw-foot bathtub in an unfamiliar pink-tiled bathroom.
Secret Reveal
1. Door #1
2. Door #2
3. Door #3
I hope you love these as much as I do. This week personally I loved all the beginning sentences (as did my cat who is currently laying on top of #3).

Teaser Tuesday
So I'm switching it up this week, instead of Tuesday Twist I am going to share a snippet from The Collector again. I would have done it yesterday but the collages are new and I was dying to share them!!! So without further ado... the next installment of The Collector.
I loved them all. Each and everyone one of them. Some gave me more trouble than others, but I was strong enough to take them on. It wasn't easy keeping it a secret, I prefered the life I lived that no one knew about, but I also know if I wanted to enjoy it then I would have to keep quiet.
I had been watching her for weeks, and just like every Monday at 10PM she was walking her dog and setting her trash out for morning pick up. I had learned that night was the best time to watch them. No one around to nose around in your business. I would grab her garbage and sift through the until I found something worth reading. I needed to know what their lives were like, what they enjoyed doing, how many people would know if they were missing.
That was the key. Kidnapping... not killing. No one knew they died, no one knew I would keep them, hold them, torture them, until I was done. They remained on the Missing Persons Report, and always in a county I did not reside in. I always watched these mediocre people at work, seeing on the news that they left evidence behind. I remained clean, almost a bit neurotic, but it is what needed if you don't want to get caught.
And I don't want to get caught.
--Hope you enjoyed!--
Just incase you haven't noticed I'm at 499 followers! Thank you to all of you who support this blog! I couldn't have continued this far without you!! Contest soon to come!!! Just waiting for that one! Also I've been pre-occupied the last week and it's because of all the book reading I have going on!!! I just got my copy of Matched and hope to finish it soon!!

teaser tuesday
A continuation of yesterdays writings on the wall! Read that post first!
I stand outside motionless, I know I should move and find out what is happening but none of it will make a difference, by the time the police get there he will be gone. He will have taken another victim and I once again will be two steps behind him. My heart still beating fast, making it hard to breathe, holding the tears back I take a deep breath and try and calm down. I don’t want to upset Hunter because I haven’t witnessed anything as of yet, but I know the feeling, I know what has happened before, and I know what is about to happen. I noticed since he me he has gotten a lot quicker in traveling which makes it that much harder for everyone else to capture him. I was the only one that knew where he was but I hadn’t mastered being two steps ahead of him, it was frustrating. I wanted to know how the hell I was supposed to catch someone who wasn‘t easy to find, luckily Hunter came out and saved me from myself, he ran towards me in a panic “Their on their way” I couldn’t believe they hadn’t questioned him, but after all the help he’s given them it also wasn’t that much of a surprise, I knew that eventually they would wonder how he knew so much, though he’d never be able to tell, and no one would believe him anyway, after all I was invisible to everyone else. "Are you okay?" I had just realized I hadn't responded to him and it did appear as if I was in a shocked state, though I knew differently, this wasn't the worst I had seen, and I also knew that it wasn't the worst that would come. "I'm fine, thanks for not questioning me" he nodded, I was relieved to have him no longer ask a million questions, I tired easily and all the questions were a bit overwhelming at times, I was glad he understood. I still had an issue though, I couldn't be done yet, I was tired and weak, I wanted this all to be over but I knew it was too soon, the killer hadn't given up yet, and I was unsure if you ever would... and if I would ever catch him.

teaser tuesday
This isn't a long teaser, which I think is nice since some of us have several blogs to look at, but you can still enjoy it!!
I sat hidden behind the trees, still adjusting to where I ended up, confused and disorientated from what felt like I'd been sucked through a tight space. I find myself standing near two boys by the river, they jumped into the river, I wanted to join them but was nervous. I sat still for a few more minutes until I had gotten the courage to walk closer, the acreage was large, I saw a house a few miles away, I assumed the boys lived there since no other houses were around, I finally approached them "hi" I said... No one answered. "Hi" I said louder. Still no one answered. I suddenly felt the hairs on the back of my neck stand up, something wasn't right, I turn and see him walking towards them... Terrified I stand frozen. I want to warn them but they don't hear me. he doesn't even seem to notice me. He walks... The boys laughing and playing in the river. Why don't they hear him?Don't they feel the something is off. I shiver... Though it isn't cold. He continues to walk, and approaches one boy, they notice him. Fear captivates them, then I see a boy fall. He's been stabbed, the other boy stands over him... motionless

teaser tuesday
So here is just a piece of the collector, a story I am working on... If you haven't seen the first part you might want to get yourself up to date... check it out here
I break away… I throw the metal towards meat, expecting it to blow up, but it doesn’t. Terrified that he tricked me I am afraid that something worse is about to happen, I bolt to the trees, unaware of what might happen to me, but I also know that staying out in the open will only kill me faster. I crouch down hoping to not be seen, my heart beating so loudly I am afraid that he will hear it. I cover my mouth and take deep breaths, I must calm down or I will never escape. I see the gravel path, and the house, a few lights are still on, and I think I see a shadow walking around. I have no idea who is in there, I can’t tell if it is him, it’s too blurry, I know he drugged me and I am not sure that it has worn off yet. I am not as aware of my own body but I try and get myself to focus. I hug the tree and peer around the corner, still no movement, I have to keep moving, I must get out of this place. I try and re-trace my steps, I know that I will have to pass the main house to get to the exit, this only terrifies me more, I don’t want to die, I don’t want to pass by the house and get caught, tears roll down my cheeks at the thought, could I die today? What have I done to deserve this? I try not to psych myself out but just the thought of once again being captured makes me want to stay put. I gather my courage and strength and quietly tip toe my way on the grass, I am afraid to move to the gravel in fear that he might be watching me and can see me, instead I try and remain friends with the tall trees and the bushes nearby. As I inch closer to the house one of the lights goes off, I run and hide for a moment, is he coming outside? Oh god what have I done, what have I done?! My mind is screaming at the possibility of once again being captured, it’s now or never. I RUN, on the gravel, my bare feet being cut with each step I take, I try to focus on the gate I see at the front of the path, it is where I must be if I want any chance of escaping.
As always let me know what you think!!!!

Teaser Tuesday!
This is a continuation of a piece of leila, you might want to read that portion first! I figured since everyone else was participating in Teaser Tuesday I might as well join in on the fun!
She had a stack of magazines, tissues, a bag of candy and a video all in her hand. The door wasn't easy to open with all of these items, but Leila watched as her assistant managed to use her hips in a fashion that men would have fawned over. She smiled as she set everything on the desk. "Leila don't bother picking up, I'll take care of it after you leave" Amanda sat the candy on the coffee table Leila had insisted on purchasing when she first opened her company, it was her favorite and it made her office seem a little more like home. She listened to her assistant and left the remaining papers on the floor. She was confused by what Amanda had planned, but as she was motioned to sit down on the couch she obliged. "Now after every break up I go through" which Leila couldn't have imagined was many at the ripe age of 19 but she allowed Amanda to continue, "I always finish with a romantic comedy, candy, and as many magazines as I can get my hands on. Since you are the boss I knew we would have all three lying around" Amanda was correct, she loved the idea of having magazines and candy at her disposal, any room for ideas she was game. The movies she didn't always have lying around but she had a flat screen TV for promotional campaigns and monthly meetings with her staff, so it seemed she was well-equipped for Amanda's break up remedy.
She stared at The Proposal, one she had heard Amanda talk about during lunch with the other ladies in the office, Sandra Bullock had done an outstanding job from what was said, and she hadn't been out in awhile so she wouldn't have known. "You propose we watch this now?" Leila asked, the thought of watching a movie while she could have been working her tears away sounded like a terrible idea, but with such enthusiasm from her assistant she decided to go for it. "Okay put it in" she didn't want to back out so she grabbed some laffy taffy before she could. Amanda stuck the dvd in and was sweet enough to get everything started "Enjoy" she said as she set the remote down. Enjoy thought Leila, did she honestly think that she was going to watch it by herself, certainly not "Join me" she motioned for her to have a seat, and Amanda willingly and cheerfully sat down.
