I stepped towards him, the Mate that was to be mine for all eternity. But before I could leap into his arms, he put his hands up, as if to tell me not to do what was an instinct. I held myself back, it confused me that he wasn't standing in front of me with open arms, and he was closed off. Before I could truly grasp what was happening, he said in a low sexy voice that travelled through my body sending tiny shock waves throughout, "I don't want you."

Whisper Woods. Yes, that's a name. Whispers life is a little bit different from what you would expect. She is quiet, shy,kind,sweet and overall a non-judgmental person. She smiles,she cries,she feels, the only difference is that her family is different. They communicate in a different way. They use sign language. Why? Well,both of Whispers parents are deaf, meaning that they don't hear a thing. They can't hear; they can't talk. The weird thing is that Whisper can. She can hear, she can talk and in addition she can communicate in sign language. Sign language is like second nature to her. So,her life was normal -just silent at home- until she bumped into Maddox. The school's bad boy, the school's outcast. He's mysterious, built like a Greek God, every girls dream and keeps to himself. He has only two friends,their like a little gang- all of them silent to everyone. Everyone judge's them thats why Maddox was surprised when Whisper bumped into him and mumbled a sorry,smiled and walked on. Without shaking of fear. Without flirting with him. Without judging. Watch a boy filled with a painful life an girl with a silent life mix together to discover a path they have never knew existed for them. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Note: If any of you are wondering it is possible to have deaf parents and be able to hear, it's just very rear!!!!

#1 in Innerbeauty #17 in ugly #56 in Firststory Fallon looks in the mirror and sees flaky skin, dull eyes, and hair the colour of mud. No matter what products she uses or how often she washes, she remains unappealing and zombie-like. This is the witch-craft of Brooks, an old, degrading witch with a magnificent cackle - AKA, Fallon's mother. She locked a curse on Fallon which would make her seem ugly to herself but not to others, all because she was jealous of her daughter's youth. Consequently, Fallon hides herself in hoodies and baggy shirts. After all, she knows she's the ugly duckling and doesn't want to torture other people who have to lay eyes on her. If this is the case, however, why does one girl in particular strive to become her friend even after seeing Fallon minus the barriers of clothing? Did she see the ugly duckling as the swan she was inside? And maybe, just possibly, with a boy causing a few drops of love to be added to the cauldron, Fallon's twisted potion of a life could become complete.

Reece Bremer goes through life with a scowl and cold personality. Jessica Andrews goes through life with a glowing smile and positive outlook. Reece looks at life with dull, judgmental eyes that make him hate the world and the people living in it. Jessica, well... She looks at life through a camera. Literally. They're polar opposites, and that's what sparks Reece's immediate hate for Jessica the moment they meet. All he sees is a girl with the best life, put in the category of those who get everything handed to them on a silver platter. But who says Jessica's life is like that? Just like a photograph, there's more to the story than what you see. Stumbling across one of Jessica's hidden portfolio might reveal that her happiness isn't all that true. Behind that smile and each picture she takes, holds a thousand words of a very big secret - one that Reece is determined to find out. And who knows? It just might change everything between them. cover by dysanic || 2015 watty's winner for talk of the town ||

The world had gone to hell long ago, taken over by the vampire race. In order to keep some sort of peace in our land, the Vampire Lords made a consecutive agreement. The rich and powerful humans could survive just as they had been, untouched by the vampires save for the occasional blood collections, or so they thought In reality, we were all under their control. Castles spread out throughout our land, one landing in each city. Each castle varied in the number of vampires residing there, but all of them carried a Lord. The Lords were the ones in charge in every city, whether we liked it or not. The vampires often roam through the city, making sure that everyone was in order and no one stepped out of line. If you stepped out of line, you died, end of story. Even if the rich were still under their control, their lives were still better than the poor. The poorest lives held a much worse fate. The men were to be put to work as slaves, whether that meant serving a specific vampire, or just building their castles, they were slaves. The women were to be pets. Pets were the lowest rank you could have. They were forced into cages that were too small to stand in with collars around their necks. They spent their lives in pet shops, just waiting for the dreadful day that they'll be bought. They were treated like animals, trained into what their master wanted, and punished if they misbehaved. Those who were lucky enough to live through that, we're to be slaughtered for their blood at age twenty-five in an act to make sure that our population would stay steady. I was born into this world. Born into this world full of blood-sucking monsters. Except, I was one of the lucky ones. Was. It all ended for me when I was 12, when I was taken away from the last bit of hope and family that I had left. Ever since then, I've lived in a cage, just rotting away, waiting, dreading for the day that some monster would make me his. This is my life. I am a pet. ~~~ Cover by: @mshacake
