"Come away, O human child! To the waters and the wild With a faery, hand in hand. For the world's more full of weeping Than you can understand." - William Butler Yeats Hello human. Yes, I will tell you my tale. Listen and listen well for I will not repeat it twice. During the tale you will hear whispers of love, of friendship, of family and a people bonded. You will also hear screams of terror, of pain, of heartbreak. A roar of the great injustices performed in our world, injustices I...well, you may be the judge of whether I deserved them or not; still, on they came. It is not too late to leave if your poor heart faints for such things. You're staying? Good. Pay attention. My name is Treeline. I am a faerie. No, I don't have wings. I don't sparkle. Truly, I would eat you if I were not currently bound. This is my story. [Highest Rank - #586 in Fantasy 10/22/2016] [Treeline is a WIP and generally pasted in rather raw and un-edited. Contents likely to change as we go along, constructive criticism welcome. Chapters will be added at least every Tuesday and Friday. Your feedback will be pulled into the editing phase once the first draft is completed!] [Soundtrack https://open.spotify.com/user/getyourgoat/playlist/3D02uXeXF7MIhQFy4Ewnhr ]

"Elle... baby, stop. Please, just hear me out one last time" He spoke, his voice nearly cracking as he said each word. Once the first tear broke free, I knew in my heart that we could never go back from here. "Baby girl, I was so wrong for thinking that you were something I could ever live without. I thought everything I wanted was back in that town, but it's hard to live with only half of my heart. It took me long enough but I finally woke up. It's you, Elle... it's always been you. It doesn't matter how hard I try, I don't know how not to think about you" WARNING: This story contains mature themes and strong language. Intended for mature audiences only.

Was published, but is now off the market--I'm sorry! Brianne is the opposite of her best friend, Kyla. Kyla is open-minded; Brianne is closed off, judgmental. Kyla is a hopeless romantic. Brianne? Not so much. So when Kyla shoves an apple into her face telling her to throw it across the cafeteria so she can find her future love, Brianne is anything but interested. And yet she throws the apple anyway. Who does the apple hit? Dannon Barone, the most popular boy in school. Though he's seemingly sweet and all-smiles, Brianne dislikes him. She thinks he's a fake, a fraud, someone who is just charming the crowds in order to gain popularity. But Brianne is about to learn that stereotypes are not true, and that she's been too quick to judge those around her. Brianne Nichols' life is about to change forever. And what does she have to thank for it? A bruised piece of fruit. Who would have known that a stupid apple could be right? | technically not part of the summary | Okay, so I know the prenote says to find any errors you can. Just letting you know there's no point to that anymore because I've reedited it two more times after this one (extensively so), and already sent it in to be self-published. The only reason that the prenote is still up is because a fan made an amusing slideshow and if I edit anything then the tags for the wattys will be gone and I'll no longer be entered , hahah!
