Seven days later, she's facing consequences she never imagined. * * * * * As civilization collapses under a relentless wave of zombies, Diane and her friends take shelter in a military base. However, while she's rescuing another survivor, Diane gets bitten by one of the monsters. She hides it and runs away, knowing she only has days left to live. But she soon discovers she isn't turning into a zombie - she's turning into something else. --------- Excerpt: I looked up and stared. My reflection looked back at me in the mirror of the dark room. My eyes were literally glowing, there was no mistaking it. It was not a reflection of light, or any of the other excuses I had used or others had assumed. They were glowing a light sapphire blue color. It was not a bright glow, but it was definitely a glow. Glowing eyes were not normal. Okay, at this point I had to admit it, I was no longer normal. What was I then? For that, I had no answer [[Word count: 495,000]] Copyright August 2016. All Rights Reserved. Readers may not copy, alter, or steal this story.

Her first vehicle? A bright pink baby wobble car - slower than walking. Her first stop after trekking 20 kilometers on foot? A stinking garbage dump. And yet, eventually, she was sitting on mountains of supplies, looking back on her journey. Lu Youyou: "I swear, I was so unlucky at the beginning." Everyone else: "Try humblebragging one more time, we dare you. 🙂"

    --- She was born from a night soaked in drugs and silence - a mistake between a king of shadows and a woman clinging to survival. Sitara grew up on the edges of love and violence. Her mother gave her warmth. Her stepfather gave her wounds. The world gave her nothing - so she carved her place in it with bloodied knuckles and burning tires. By sixteen, she was forged in underground fights and midnight races - a ghost with a pulse, a weapon with no master. But fate drags her into the one place she swore she'd never belong - the palace of Jaipur, where her real father wears a crown stained with blood. He never knew she existed. Now, she's the heir he never asked for - and the reckoning he never saw coming. Because Sitara isn't here to be saved. She's here to burn the empire down. ---

    Jake Rivers was always a parasite. He just didn't know it could be literal. A forgotten god caught him cheating at carnival games and decided to make the metaphor flesh. Now Jake is microscopic. Blind. Starving. A brain-eating worm in a fantasy world where magic is real and death comes from inside. Every creature he enters dies within weeks, neural pathways consumed one memory at a time. But first, they become legend! Jake takes one ability from each host. They gain all of his. Symbiosis and murder, always together. And he's getting addicted. Simple animal thoughts were bland. Complex minds are intoxicating. Intelligent consciousness tastes like nothing he's ever experienced. Every memory he consumes is better than the last, and the hunger grows stronger with each kill. The locals call it the Whisperer's Blessing. Power and death, arriving as one. Naga serpent-lords take notice of the pattern. But Jake is seeing something they can't: he's been everyone. Both predator and prey. He experiences reality from every angle, and reality is breaking. Magic is corrupting. Concepts are bleeding together. Something eldritch is pushing through the cracks between worlds, and the scattered civilizations of Ouroboros can't see it coming because they've never been anything but themselves. Jake has been everything. Knows languages no single being should speak. Understands magic from perspectives that shouldn't exist. He's becoming something unprecedented. Something necessary. Something monstrous. The god wanted him honest about what he was. Be careful what you wish for. This parasite might be the only thing that can consume an apocalypse. Dark progression fantasy. Visceral body horror. An addict climbs the food chain toward godhood.

    Small. Frail. Innocent. ❧ Thats what people usually use to describe a child. But not this one.. ❦ Nidori dixon a 9 year old who wakes up from her 3 month coma in a hospital. She has no idea what awaits her outside those doors.. ☙ Does she remember how she got there.? Indeed. Did her brothers ever look for her? She doesn't know. ♡ What happened to the sweet people who helped her.? She tends to find out. ⚔︎ Nidori is still just a kid-but not an innocent one. She's learned too early how the world really works, and that knowledge sits heavy on her. Lies irritate her more than danger; she remembers everything and doesn't forgive easily. Most of the time she seems nonchalant, almost detached, but there's a sharp edge beneath it. Push her too far, and the calm disappears-because when Nidori snaps, she doesn't hesitate. ✒︎ ☂︎Only my OCs belong to me i do not own the TWD characters☂︎ ✌︎
