Robin is just like any other teenage girl. She loves to run, hang with her friends, and is obsessed with her cell phone. Oh, and she's known by her city as The Hood, the mysterious figure that takes down those that are corrupt and wealthy with the help of her merry men - her three computer genius friends that are expert hackers. Her current target? Richard Sherwood, CEO of Sherwood Innovations. He has a net worth of multiple billions (exact amount unknown) and has been grooming his son to be the heir to his empire. Oh, and he happens to be involved in the death of Robin's parents and the disappearance of countless other innocents in the city. So, what's a girl to do? Stand back and watch a selfish, malevolent man take down the city with his bare hands? No. She's going to steal from the rich and give back to the poor, of course. But even though she has her secret weapon, Golden Arrow, and her tech savvy best friends, stealing from the most powerful man in the city from his Sherwood Tower office building is much easier said than done. *** This is my entry for the Once Upon Now, Target//Wattpad Contest.

Rodrigo is used to his best friend, Oliver, getting him into trouble every once in a while but never had he imagined that one of his craziest ideas would take them to the Kingdom of Karinthia, a magical world where each person has a different power. Although Oliver loves adventure, he soon realises the danger they are in: the entirety of Karinthia is subject to the tyrannical power of Emperor Arakaz and children are obliged to appear before him at twelve years old to swear their loyalty. Luckily, the boys soon find refuge in Garador Fortress where they join a secret order of knights who fight against the cruelty of the emperor. What they hadn't imagined is that one of them is destined to play a key role in this fight.

Join Clara Stahlbum as she discovers the magic in the power of love, when her Godfather Drosselmeyer presents her with a special Christmas gift, a Nutcracker, who so happens to also be Drosselmeyer's long lost nephew. The classic Story originally created by author, E.T.A Hoffman, and soon transformed into what would be Tchaikovsky's greatest and most popular ballet of in the history of the arts. By now, the wonderful world of magic and fantasy has been adapted into many different translations, and this one is my own. The original story of Hoffman's, The Nutcracker and the Mouse King is divided into four chapters, keeping the language simple and elegant words. Tchaikovsky's ballet is divided into two acts, performed silently with graceful and complicated body language. I wanted to write an adaption of my own with three chapters, and a more descriptive storyline. So, please read, and enjoy for your entertainment: THE NUTCRACKER
