We were a team. A confidence team, gaining your trust and ripping you off for every penny we could squeeze out of you. Stealing millions between pickpocketing, elaborate schemes against the rich, and knocking off banks; we made it big. We were good, really good at what we did. This time we were too greedy. We couldn't pass up a 4 million dollar art con. Each couple would have walked away with 2 million dollars and we could have settled down and finally started the family we had talked about for years. But he disappeared......in the middle of the night, abandoning me. Until he returned with a bullet hole in his arm and desperation in his eyes. Begging me to help him one last time, but could I ever forgive him? Could I ever look past his betrayal of leaving me in Tennessee to fend for myself and fight off the cops myself? ●●●●●●●●●●●●●● "What were the first words you ever spoke to me?" He asked softly, his thumbs wiping away the wetness from my cheeks. "No." I choked out. "Don't! I don't want to say it." "You said...Hi, my name is Alexis and I just moved into my grandparent's house across the street. Can I play with you? And I knew the moment I laid eyes on you...." "You were 10 years old, you didn't know shit." I croaked. "I may have been 10, but I knew a beautiful girl when I saw one. And you blew the rest of the world out of the water. I may have saved you by leaving you in Tennessee, but at least you still had your grandparents. I had no one if I didn't have you."

DISCLAIMER: This story is completed, however it is unedited. I wrote this story when I was very young, and it is reflected in the work. If you are looking for the edited version of Love, Emma as seen on my Instagram or Facebook, this is NOT it. . . . . . . . . . . "E-Emma? It's okay y-you know. I-I'm used to i-i-it." "You shouldn't have to be, some people disgust me, the nerve of them." "I can't blame t-t-th-them, I m-mean l-l-l-look at m-me." He sounds so defeated, even though I can tell he's trying to hide it, so hurt and broken and utterly defeated. And that, to me, is absolutely heartbreaking. Whipping around, he bumps into me, clearly not expecting my abrupt stop. "I am looking at you, and you're beautiful Nathan Walker, beautiful." There's tears in my eyes and a lump in my throat the size of a basketball, and my eyes are burning, and my heart hurts but it's so fast, pounding a beat against my chest---because he should know. People like Nathan deserve to be told how unequivocally, unconditionally, completely beautiful they are. . . . . . . . . . . Emma Dawn is a sixteen year old girl in the big city of Toronto who befriends her school's social pariah, Nathan Walker. Outcast for his looks, Nathan's a very quiet, very gentle, giant, but everything's not that simple; the tough guy one might assume him to be is nothing like what he actually is, not with his stutter, continuous insecurities, and his social anxiety. While their friendship develops, both at school and at his families Italian-style Cafe, Emma slowly starts to tear down his walls, finding herself deeply caring for the boy she finds behind them---a boy so caught up in his life's worth of ridicule, he has no idea of how beautiful he is. Read on into the story of Emma and Nathan, where she helps him come to terms with his anxiety, breaks his insecurities, and every other social standard set to define something beautiful. . . . . . . . . . .

St. Mary, a town deemed safe and serene - that is, until the devil's child is sent to live there. In St. Mary's Catholic Orphanage -very unusual for a devil's daughter-Thana Dea led a quiet and somewhat miserable life. A sixteenth birthday is usually the day princesses are sent to a deep slumber by curses, or find prince charming in a ball; or even the day a normal teenage girl throws a lavish party to celebrate. However, Thana's sixteenth was hellish-literally. On her sixteenth she found out she was Lucifer's Daughter and let's just say hell fire isn't enough to contain the series of disastrous events that are on the way. And boy, is the previous heir to hell, Erebus, furious that he's about to get de-throned. Enemies. Blood. A twisted romance and one hell of a family tree. #1 in daemons (6/02/2019) #1 in lovehaterelationship (22/12/2019) #1 in demons (28/03/2019) #5 in hell (6/02/2019) #6 in Supernatural (29/01/2019) #12 in throne (5/08/2018) #120 in romance (30/01/2019) #24 in Badboy (18/01/2019) #88 in cold (5/08/2018) #4 in devil (26/08/2019) #150 in Lucifer (5/08/2018) #206 in daughter (7/08/2018) #233 in angels (14/01/2019) #499 in hot (16/01/2019) #516 in demons (16/01/2019) #292 in angels (5/08/2018) #996 in Hate (6/08/2018) #582 in Witches (16/01/2019)
