In a world of mysterious happenings, dragons rule the sky, mermaids the sea, and many other creatures challenge each other for the dominance of earth. Darkness roams in the shadows, waiting for a chance to strike for the power of the Pearl Heart of life. The Pearl Heart of Life controls everyone and everything on Earth. The power is endless, and if it falls into the wrong hands our dimension will be destroyed. Delani is a curious and rebellious teenager, who always somehow winds up in a web of danger and temptations. She discovers a power hidden deep inside of her soul and ancestry. Although it is difficult to control and maintain, she and her best friend, Laura, must work together and combine their powers to save the Pearl Heart from Kraven, the dark sprite ruler born from the fire of hell. If Kraven succeeds, life as we know it will be extinct, and in the hands of the darkness. Will Delani save our lives, or must we welcome death with wide opened arms?

I was dared to ask him to homecoming. I didn't actually expect him to say yes. + + + New town, new school, new friends- a new start. It's all Olivia could really ask for. Having to move in with her extremely cheerful aunt and her snobby cousin, Olivia's taken by surprise. It's a change, of course. But is it a good one? With a cousin like Vivica, who's one of the popular girls in school, Olivia has to undergo a lot in order to be accepted into that crowd. They're the only people she knows, and she's not exactly a social butterfly. And a part of the pressure that she has to endure includes her having to ask Maddox Finnegan, a considerably misbehaved guy, to homecoming. And she didn't expect him to say yes. And she really didn't expect everything to change because of his answer. + + + COVER MADE BY WATTPAD USER RAPUNZELSMILES

"Hey Mark!" I said, walking to the stage. I walked up the stairs carefully. After all, I was wearing wedges and preferred to stay out out the hospital. "Hey Macie," he replied. "Could you get the songs on the stands for me?" "Sure," I said, taking the two folders out of his backpack. I opened each one and had started placing the music on the stands when I heard the door open. I expected it to be either Carly, Denver or Amanda, but when I turned around, I saw that it was my mother. Her hair was wild and her eyes frightened as she opened her mouth to speak. "Macie, Ben, Brittany and Tristan have just been in a what-could-be-fatal car crash." - Macie is your average teenage girl. Popular, Pretty, Perfect. Everyone at St. Phyllis Prep. knows who she is. She manages to befriend the most popular boy in the school, Andrew. When a new kid enrols to St Phyllis, sharing his love of Christ openly, she has no clue what has happened, or who this guy, Jesus, is!
