Alia's P.O.V. ch7: actions and reactions
I ran as fast as I could to a nearby building and hid. Hopefully, I can get out of his sight, then go somewhere crowded.
But first I need to call the cops.
The phone's still in my hands, but for some reason it's off. I turn it over and find a hole on it's back.
I almost dropped it.
My phone just saved my life, but I lost my only SIM card and there's no WiFi reception in this area, rendering me isolated.
Okay! okay! Just gotta go somewhere crowded! Yeah! Then I can contact the police!!
My head hurts, I'm nauseated and I can feel a nervous ball clogging down my throat.

Somehow, I had managed to sleep fifteen hours last night, interrupted only once when my friends woke me up so I'd go to work.
I must've been a baby the last time I managed to pull that off.
By now, calling my parents in the morning became the new routine.
I told my mom that I wanted to speak with Fatima, which meant switching to either texting or video chat. They opted for the latter.
Mom, dad and Fatima gathered in front of the webcam, greeting and joking about using sign language.
Mehdi isn't there though. He's probably at work.
After a while, mom and dad left.

I reached for my phone to shed some light, only to find out that it was no longer in my pocket. I couldn't feel my backbag, either.

I woke up faintly groaning after having experienced yet another nightmare.
I picked up my phone; it's 3:00 AM and I received a message 10 minutes ago from Fatima.
“Are you having another nightmare?”
“Been able to tell while we were under the same roof is something, but this…. You are creeping me out.” I jested.
“Good, you should be scared.”

Sara stood still in the middle of an empty spot surrounded by big trees and thigh bushes, in a before storm silence, her senses highly alerted with small light red sparkles coming out of her fingers.
A light blue flash came from behind, Sara had just enough time to jump side-way from the roasting thunder heading her way, a tree in the background took the hit and fell.
Sara turned to the source of the attack and launched an electric light red ball, the attacker dodged it by jumping out of the bushes, sky-blue raw energy covering her hands, Sara threw a fire ball at her, finding herself too close, Nisrin's only option was to make a blue field

These are the HTML codes I've ridden up for ~,*, and = members. + more.
These are just basic HTML codes, and if you want more, go to the FAQ Desk.
1. You want to make your text Bold
So, You want to make your text Bold? You can Either choose from the two,
(strong) or (b). Instead of "(" and ")", use "".
Open your text with (Strong) / (b), and close them with (/strong) / (/b)
Example:
(strong)Laura11100(/strong)
But instead of "(" and ")", replace them with "".
So It'll turn out like: Laura11100

Literature critique? YES always!
Hey :wave:
you like to write but receive no or only very little feedback on dA?
You'd like to change that and wish for elaborate comments and critiques on your literature deviations?
Then this group #ReadThine-ReadMine (https://www.deviantart.com/readthine-readmine) is the right place for you!
In this group we exchange literature critiques on a regular basis.
The concept is very simple: You submit one of your texts and receive feedback by other group members. In the same time, you read the works of other members and give them feedback. We have regular reading rounds lasting about 7 weeks. That means in these 7 weeks group members read your text and give you elaborate feedback.
For some reason?

I had faith that more people would have a better conscience
I like believing that most people are good
it's just something I choose to believe
But the fact that more than half the voters in our country voted for Trump...
It just
I don't know
Like I'm not full-out shocked or anything, a part of me was bracing for this, but even still I'm just really disappointed
And afraid of what's going to happen to a lot of minorities
I'm also disappointed in myself for some reason, I feel like I was being stupid and naive to believe in humanity that much haha
Sorry for sounding so pessimistic, I know
Writing since 2012. I can write in Arabic, French and English, translate and draw inanimate objects and locations.

Hey!
Remember that operation I mentioned in 2017?
This is what I've been up to during the summer and fall.
I'm okay.
Waiting for full recovery and getting new glasses.
I don't usually write journals.But when I do, I have more than one thing to say.
It's not an exaggeration by the way. I had them removed when I was 6 months old. I might undergo an eye surgery in the near future to plant new ones, now that I'm old enough.
I'll do it sometime this summer, hopefully. So, I'll try my best to finish Alia ch7 before that happens.
Meanwhile, I'm stuck with a daily schedule designed to fix my lack of discipline.(and I recommend anyone who lacks drive and self motivation to do the same, otherwise you could ruin your life :/ ).
Unfortunately, it's mostly focused on studying and it takes off a lot of the time I use
