" Scarlett Benoit is a simple village girl, dreaming of a life full of adventure, a life away from her sleepy village of Arcanum and the ever-present dread lingering there. When she stumbles across the mysterious dark castle hidden away in a Forest ruled by shadows, Scarlett realizes that the world she dreamed about is a lot more dangerous than she thought. Thrown into a world full of deadly secrets and forbidden romance, Scarlett has finally found the adventure she craved the most - but will the consequences be too great? ************************************************ A/N: okaaayyy, so that sounds really cliché, buuuuuuttttttttt I can promise you that 'things aren't always what they seem' [oh GAWD I'm a walking cheeseball xD] thanks for clicking on this story [for whatever reason] and happy reeeeaaaddiinnngggg :)

His dream of being someone lies beyond the walls of Walter High. Ethan is a nerd yet not in measures of a cliche being in the society... He wants change... He wants to defy paradigms... and he will do anything to say his soul in front... He will do it his way.... his manner... his words. Perfect is a reflection of the adventures in high school. An adventure that unfolds from the first step in a bisque classroom and never ends until you die. Thanks to my previous English teachers in Sophomore and Junior Hs. They're the reasons why I wrote this way. :)

“Fuck,” I whisper, shutting my eyes and clunking my head to the door. “Where were you going, Scar?” Ace breathes, smirking like he’s been dying to do this all morning. Might as well not lie. “I was going to hot wire your car and drive back to California, grab all my cash, fly to Europe, live there for a couple weeks, and then drink myself to death.” His smirk drops. “That’s not funny.” “Never said it was.” A quiet moment drifts through as I lazily stare at him. “You’re serious?” “Yep.” Scarlett Hunter is only 19 and has already killed 65 vampires. It's drilled into her mind that vampires are bad, and they always will be. That is, until Ace Caplin decides to enter her world via her kitchen.

After a hundred years, Sleeping Beauty is waking up. At Effie’s junior Prom, everyone is gossiping about a new boy who looks like he stepped out of a Grimm’s fairy tale. Unlike her classmates, Effie can overlook the boy’s old-fashioned formality and even his shockingly white hair, but she cannot ignore his familiarity. Because she has seen him many times before—once upon a dream. In the middle of a dance, Effie faints, only to be awakened in a haunted forest by the boy from her dreams. But her happy ending is only the beginning of a nightmare. The further she’s dragged into the mysterious world of storybook castles and breathtaking magic, Effie finds herself at the root of an ancient feud and a cursed fate. And if she cannot break the spell before her eighteenth birthday, she’s doomed to prick her finger on a spindle and fall into an enchanted sleep forever.
