Alexis

I have to get out of here. If I don't, I'll start to go crazy. I'll do whatever it takes. I've been lied to before, and it hurt. It hurt so bad. But now, maybe it's my turn to lie. You do what you have to right?

Zach

I'm lonely. I haven't been forever, but lately I am. My dad always showed me these lame magic tricks. Now I know they weren't real, but maybe I'm wrong. Maybe magic controls everything we do. Maybe it controls everyone we meet. Why we meet them, how we meet them, how they act towards you. Now is no time to get upset about it. My dad always said magic is a way we show our emotions in an unexplainable way. He has never been so right.

𝑭𝒊𝒏𝒅 𝑴𝒆 - 𝑻. 𝑹𝒊𝒅𝒅𝒍𝒆 by DiaryofABoredGirl

"Do you know what the most dangerous thing in this world is?" A dozen answers flashed through my mind, greed, money, power, dark magic. But I stayed silent, staring at the man in front of me. A man I once trusted. But now? Now that I knew the truth he'd kept hidden, that lie shattered everything. I didn't know who he was anymore. He lifted his head, eyes meeting mine when he realised I wasn't going to answer. "Love." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Maya's biggest worry used to be life after Hogwarts. Until a mysterious spell sends her eighty years into the past. Now stranded in a time ruled by fear and shadow, she's told the only way back is to defeat the dark wizard Grindelwald himself. With no clear path forward, cryptic riddles begin to appear, guiding her toward something. And then the visions start, of a woman who warns her of a different truth: Maya can't defeat Grindelwald. To return home, she must find the daughter of a forgotten family. Ishara has waited weeks for a letter that never came. Her brother is missing, and no one seems to care. Desperate and determined, she sets sail for England, chasing answers only she believes are worth finding. But strange things begin to happen, dreams she can't explain, feelings she can't ignore. And something inside her whispers of magic... even though magic doesn't exist. Right? As their stories unfold across time, Maya and Ishara are drawn toward a secret buried deep in history, one that could reshape everything they thought they knew about their world... and themselves.

Queen of Bargains: Monsters Under the Mountain by ATConner

Selene was never meant to be part of this world. She had once been a medical student, living an ordinary life filled with textbooks, late-night study sessions, and the quiet certainty that magic was nothing more than fiction. Then, she woke up in a world ruled by monsters. For twenty-five years, she has survived on the outskirts of a human village, healing where she can, hiding where she must. She knows little of the High Fae, their courts, or their treacherous games. She knows only whispers-of a wicked queen named Amarantha, of a war that shattered kingdoms, of a High Lord with violet eyes and a smirk sharper than a blade. But when a raid on her village drags her Under the Mountain, Selene is thrust into a world of cruelty and deceit. Powerless and human, she should have been nothing more than another disposable servant. Instead, she catches the eye of Rhysand, Amarantha's right hand. To the world, he is a monster. A traitor. A willing pet in the queen's twisted court. But Selene has seen him at his most powerful. And now, she has seen him at his most broken. Forced into servitude, trapped in a palace where humans do not last long, Selene must navigate the deadly politics of a court built on suffering. But as she uncovers the truth hidden beneath Rhysand's carefully crafted mask, she begins to question everything she thought she knew-about this world, about him, and about the war that looms on the horizon. Because it was not fate brought her here. She was the obstacle to his fate. And fate is watching. all rights reserved to the original author

The Trials by Yaroda07

How do you get rid something that makes up part of you? How do you ignore the call of something so beautiful yet so deadly? How do you resist the darkness that's been living, growing and thriving within you even before you were born? How do you turn down the only chance to get all the answers you desire, even if it leads you down a path of chaos, horror, and madness? A path others have fought for you not to tread. But why even fight at all? Why fight a fire that only burns brighter? "Listen, you can choose not to believe this. But I've been where you are, I've felt what you feel." I opened my mouth to snap back, but he continued in a cracked voice. "Don't ask me how I know-all I know is I dont want to hurt you. I dont want a throne. I just...I just want you to be okay. I can't...I can't lose you too." His eyes shone with sincerity and heart-wrenching pain. But neither affected me. Not anymore. "What makes you think I care about you losing me," I whispered. "When I don't even care if I lose myself?" The others may be trying to douse the fire, but I rather let it burn. Burn until it consumed us all.

Hell on Earth by VFields_eng

❝My entire story is a grim web of lies in which I am drowning, as though in a dark abyss of fear and despair. And no one can pull me out of it, because, fortunately, no one will ever know the truth. Why? Because even I don't know it. ❝Pretending to be a normal person doesn't mean actually being normal. I thought that if I acted like I wasn't myself, everything would work out. I was wrong. Because someone already knows who I really am. ❝If I stop-I'll die.

Masks by PawWars7171

This is the second book to Barriers {damirae} so if u haven't read that one some stuff in this one won't make sense so I sagest u read that one first. --------------------------------------------------------------------- "I wear a mask. Not to hide but to protect, protect people from getting hurt. It consoles and hides away all the emotions I keep at bay. I wear a mask. It is stained black and seeping through all the emotions I hide from you. Distorted and can't make out All these shadows that lurk about. But though the eyes you can see a hint at thy you can perceive. Nothing left... I'm inside out. And now i see that the mask itself... was meant for me. Sometimes you wear a mask for to long that you forget who you used to be beneath it all. In all this confusion one thing holds true, my feeling for you. So when I say I love you. I don't expect to hear it in return. I just want you to know I Love you not for how you danced with my angels. But for the way you calmed my Demons." ~ Robin

Unmapped by thatowlet

Highest rank #73 in fantasy #18 in voodoo #79 in Philosophy There are times when everything around fades and the voice of the past starts dominating the times. When the waves are lurching high to touch the sky. When you feel the eerie presence within you. Something which is trying to drift away, something tearing you apart. Into two different versions of yourself. What would you do? Destroy the other? or would try to understand it? Love will always be by your side guiding you, showing you path giving you strength, enlightening you. At each and every step. You are risking everything. More precious than your breath. More dangerous than bloodwars. More familiar than unfamiliar. What's going to happen when you are going deeper into the past? What revelations are going to bring it down? What magic is working? Will love save the day? Only the Midnight can tell. Only the Archer can understand. Will they be together in the end? What's going to be unmapped? Catch the Underworld train to know everything;)

Sins Chaos by PLFeight

Tick-tock. Time is up. You can run, but... I wouldn't know the truth if it ran me over on a dark road and stopped long enough to introduce itself. I'm a chameleon and my days of flying under Rixton Biochemical Corp's radar has come to end. Battles fought in secret have now become public and war has been declared. Falling in love wasn't even a blip on my survival radar. From the moment I literally fell into him, it was lust at first sight and our connection was undeniable. Too bad I'm the threat he is sworn to hunt down and he's the danger I crave. ...you will be hunted... Self-delusion: the master of all lies spun; the spider that guards deceptions web. When my past comes back to haunt me, my perfectly crafted island of deceptive truths and earth-shattering lies descends into chaos. I am supposed to be the good guy. The one who hunted down the bad guys. I live in a world where the line that separates the "good" guys from the "bad" guys is just a blurry optical illusion that tricks the mind into believing whatever it wants to be true. Not everything (or everyone) is what (or who) it (they) seem. ...and the truth always finds its prey.

Deception: Consequences (Book Three) by Gwensly

Consequences can cause hurt, pain and sometimes love. You can find you will be pushed to something you never quite expected. Consequences make you look at your life and why you arrived where you now are. There are all kinds of consequences from realizations of family secrets and actions. Of starting something that you might not be able to live with at the end of it all. Consequences are what you have to take responsibility for and be able to endure and continue. Family is everything. These are lessons that everyone learn as they go through life, as so Cameron and Jonathan. "Although you may not always be able to avoid difficult situations, you can modify the extent to which you can suffer by how you choose to respond to the situation." ― Dalai Lama XIV, The Art of Happiness "Self-satisfaction alone cannot determine if a desire or action is positive or negative. The demarcation between a positive and a negative desire or action is not whether it gives you an immediate feeling of satisfaction, but whether it ultimately results in positive or negative consequences." ― Dalai Lama XIV, The Art of Happiness

The Dark Lord's Kiss for the Pure Virgin Girl! 🦇🖤 by hannahafshar

Lara, in this magical and enchanting world, nothing is a lie! So believe in fairy tales. This was the phrase my mother whispered to me every night with her gentle voice. When she read the story of "Jack and the Beanstalk," I would always curiously ask: • But why don't I have a magic bean that can take me wherever I want? She would smile kindly and keep hope alive in my heart. We all believed in magic and wizards as children, fairy tales, and Little Red Riding Hood! I wished I would never know the bitter taste of reality. But years after her death, I faced the harsh reality of the world; a reality I had always tried to escape. After my mother's death, her voice remained with me, inviting me to the bright world of hope; unlike many who grew up and no longer believed in any childish dreams. But I remained faithful to stories and the land of fairies, believing that destiny awaits us all! We are born into different tales and live with love. However, the bitterness of the world ensnared me in its grip. Just when I was only nine years old, I became acquainted with the bitter reality of life; when the snowy night arrived! I had never seen snow so terrifying and ugly. Because my mother was in bed, coughing up blood and taking her last breaths. A tiny bit of white snow had fallen from my woolen boots onto the ground, and when her hand hung limp, droplets of blood dripped from her fingers onto the snow, turning it red.
