|| Book 1 of The Shadow's Melody || As a maid here at the new Opéra Populaire I can certainly sense something different. Something missing. It lacked him. The Opera Ghost who disappeared. I know I should let it go. I know I shouldn't constantly think about a dead man. A murderer. But I simply can't. I can't forget about that man I fell in love with those many years ago. I yearned to hear his angelic voice again. I begged for it. Hoped for it. Prayed for it. I called for him in my dreams. The man they called The Phantom of the Opera. I would never have guessed that my hopes and prayers would soon be answered.

It all happend very fast. Fast and- sudden. He had always been a bit weird, but I didnt expect him to break this easily. Or suddenly. Maybe I just didn't look hard enough. I always thought there would be a process. Like a in the movies when the lead is hanging onto a rope ladder and you can see the fibres break and the rope gets thinner and tension rises until the sting inevitably breaks. There was no tension building when his string broke. It was more like a cut. The last drop that broke the dike. Suddenly water was everywhere and in this mess we had no other option than to go to Atlantis.

To me, Peter Pan always seemed like he can get any girl's interest. After meeting him for the first time, I have decided that my fate didn't belong to him. Peter, untainted by my rejection, took it as a challenge. A game, if you prefer. 10 days for me to fall in love with him which meant 10 days for him to prove himself to me. If I didn't reveal any feelings towards him by then, I was granted access off the island. But if I caved in to him, I, Amber Hawthorne, would never leave Neverland ever again. One problem, everyone knows that Peter Pan never fails. {FINISHED, BUT EDITING}

"Never Say GoodBye Because Goodbye means Going Away And Going away, Means Forgetting" ~Peter Pan (Authors Note: This story was written in 2014 when I was around 13-14 years old. Sorry about the style of writing. I didn't really know what I was doing. Enjoy!)

Lily and Gerard had everything until some bad news tore them apart. Now they're living separate lives and taking separate paths, and it looked like it couldn't get worse. That is, until Lily gets some surprising news. Could this be enough to bring them back together, or will they remain broken and estranged forever? (This is the sequel to The Orphan and the Artist, so please read that before you read this.)

Poppy Bryar is a 16 year old girl with a best friend, Frank. Their platonic relationship confuses everyone but each other, but things start to change for Frank when Poppy gets involved with somebody else.

"Because you've forgotten what it's like to actually feel something." I whispered. Peter's expression softened and the only sounds between us were the steady unsynchronized breaths falling from our lips. He swallowed, the closeness of our bodies making my heart beat faster and adrenaline course through me. The feeling was neither pleasant nor unpleasant as I looked into his forest green eyes. "How can you make me feel so belittled with only words?" his troubled voice fell into a whisper and he gripped my shoulders. "Is it your goal to stand before me and pull me apart until I am nothing?"
