Things take a turn for the worst when she discovers the influx of crime, a dangerous gang leader, and getting lost in London. ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ "Cara?" he tested the name on his lips. "Do you know who I am?" I shook my head. The man in front of me had black hair, and dark eyes that held no mercy. They weren't hazel, nor tan. Not even brown. They were dark, too dark to predict a color. "You will," he said to me. "After the next hour and a half you will." ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ © Copyright at Muses_ . All rights reserved. A C T I O N - - - - #10

Goofy. Rebellious. Strange. 'Nerdy'. Dangerous. These are just a few words to describe Riley Storms. Being a teenager is hard enough, hell, growing up is a difficult task. Being normal isn't something that this spunky sixteen year old has ever been used to. Her father is the leader of Mayhem, the most powerful gang in the America's and her mother runs '204', the most lethal mafia in Europe. So when she and her family pack up and move to a small town in Texas, she thinks of it as an opportunity to be her own person, to leave the stigma her family name gave her back in New York. She can be just an average teenage girl, a fresh start where no one knows anything about her families past. Until she meets Ethan King. Notorious 'Bad Boy' of the town. She's his next 'target'. He thinks it'll be easy to get her to fall to her knees, begging for him to take her right then and there. But she's Riley fucking Storms. She refuses to cave in so easily. Ethan grows curious about this mysterious new girl. He doesn't know what it is that draws him to this seemingly innocent good girl. But he's determined to find out what that pull is. With her stubbornness, and his tempter, things don't go as plan. But he's still mind-set on finding out about her. Curiosity killed the cat, right? Good thing he's not a cat. She's stubborn and hardheaded, he's temperamental and cold. Sound familiar? They say history repeats itself. I mean, like mother like daughter, right?

18 year old Florence Remy has three things that mean the world to her: Twizzlers, her best friends Ade and Clancy, and her parents' coffee shop the Espresso House in downtown Brooklyn, New York. As a small business amongst huge corporations, Florence and her parents struggle to make ends meet. However, they remain optimistic and happy. The coffee shop may not bring in much, but it's enough to keep them on their feet. But what happens when a group of dangerous Brooklyn mobsters force Florence's parents into giving them co-ownership of the shop? Crime boss and leader Wolfe Sterling takes a great interest in the tunnels that lead past the Espresso House cellar. Dirty business is what he's best at and dragging people into his dangerous (and illegal) activities are no bother. But things go sideways when he also takes a strange interest in Florence. And it really doesn't help that he's hotter than freshly brewed coffee...

A girl doomed before her own birth to be violently wanted by every person in her entire world, and then imprisoned for her entire life starting at age 5, of course wants nothing more than to escape. His Shadow is called to her, and takes her to Neverland, where she gets her freedom. And when you give an evil boy an innocent girl, opposites attract. I love the TV series, but I think Peter Pan should get to love somebody, so here's who and here's how they fell in love, as I believe it should go. Sorry for the bad summary, I promise the story is better! *Rating cautious, may change for some chapters TBA **I do not own the Once Upon a Time TV series, nor do I own their characters. I do own this story, and my main female character. ***Copyright***

"Tell me, Gwen," Peter says, looking at me with his impossible green eyes. "Are you afraid of the dark?" "No." I say, and I'm lying. But he pretends that I'm not, and I pretend not to notice, and the portal zips shut behind us. No going back now. "Welcome," the hollow children say, as I follow Peter through the crowd. "Welcome to Neverland, Gwendolyn. Welcome to the World of Unhappy Endings." ~~~ When Gwendolyn McKinnith gets lost in the stacks of the Library of Congress, she never expects to find an ancient book stuffed into a random, hidden corner. It's called the Book of Unhappy Endings, and it seems to call to her, begging her to take it home. But when Gwen opens the Book, bad things start to happen in her life, and all the light begins to bleed from her world. Creatures of Nightmare start to tear at the very fabric of time and nothing anyone tries is able to stop them. Then, a young man shows up in Gwen's bedroom; he is tall and beautiful and elfin, and there are shadows in his brilliant green eyes. He tells her that he is Peter Pan, and he needs her to come with him to Neverland or her world will descend into anarchy. Gwen wants to save the world, but to do that, she'll have to enter the Book with Peter and never come out again. She'll have to give up everything; her family, her friends, her life. Even her chance at Happily Ever After. Book Two in the Neverland Archives (they do NOT have to be read in order! This is purely for the history and timeline of Neverland).
