Volunteers Stories

You never ever know what a first responder's job is like until you get a really close insight, right? For twenty-six-year-old Elizabeth Henderson, she's no stranger to death. Having lost a family member at such a young age, she understands what it's like to not want to get too close to anyone. For fear of losing them. However, when her house unexpectedly catches fire, she's saved by the Chicago fire department and by a new candidate of theirs. Over time, as she's getting her life back together, she ends up volunteering at the firehouse that saved her. Firehouse 51. Everything seems like it's going well until she finds herself falling for one of the firefighters within the firehouse. Blake Gallo. Which drives her crazy cause she doesn't know whether she's having feelings for him or she doesn't want to because she thinks it'll interfere with her volunteering. But the more time she spends at 51, the more she sees that this firehouse is more than just a firehouse. It's a second family, what the firefighters and paramedics do for their community of Illinois, and the firefighter she's falling for may relate to her more than she thought. ********************************************* [CHICAGO FIRE S8 - S12 PREMIERE] [BLAKE GALLO FANFICTION] [BLAKEGALLOXFEMOC] [BOOK COVER BY @xjoshayaexistsx]

You know the story of Katniss and Peeta, but do you know the story of Cato and Clove? The cocky, self - assured Cato finally found his perfect someone, and he's not letting her go- he would follow Clove into Hell. So when she volunteers for the 74th Hunger Games in want of fame and freedom, that's exactly what he does. Cato is desperate for District Two to have a victor- and not him. Clove had a plan. Volunteer, win, return home and make her family rich, become a star. But now Cato's gone and screwed it all up, and she doesn't know what to do anymore. Because who ever heard of two people winning the Hunger Games? Disclaimer- this is just a fan fiction. Some of the plot is mine, but all rights to characters and the general idea of The Hunger Games go to Suzanne Collins. Unfortunately, the cover art is also not mine. If they're are any plot holes or things that don't match up with the books/movies, please tell me in the comments.

The excitement of learning how to handle one year old alligators as a zoo volunteer.

This is a rewrite of another book. Each Kingdom/District will reap 60 tributes, 30 males and 30 females, in between the ages of 10 and 19, to fight in three separate games against each other. Then two winners, a male and a female from each Kingdom, will be reaped to fight in the Finale, against the victors of the other games, in which five makes and five females will again survive, not to be bothered again, along with the four males and four females from the District games. This is heavily based off of the Hunger Games.

Beauty is not in the face; Beauty is a light in the heart. Kahlil Gibran *** Navigating the world can be hard when all you see is nothing. Natalia Coleworth had her eyes removed at the age of five and she has learnt to be optimistic about what she has by making it seem like it's not hard at all. But it can be hard sometimes when you remember that you once didn't have to translate everything into something you could understand or hear people's obnoxious whispers about you. So when she decides to try and organise a residential for orphans with somebody she just met, her crazy best friend and her antisocial twin brother, she ignores the fact that it may not be the brightest idea and focuses on the fact that together they are all making other people's lives better. © Mkayyla_
