The kingdom of Redvale was described by most as small and quaint. Neutral. Redvale held many alliances, and peace was rarely disrupted, until a war started that brought all the kingdoms of the North together. 40% of the population from each kingdom was required to serve on the front line, 20% to protect the coastal boarders, 10% to serve as medics or professors, and 2% to serve in the private guard. The private guard were a collection of the best fighters, who were controlled by the current monarchs, and rarely seen in daylight. Some people believe the guards didn't exist. But I know they do. Because I am one of them.
Or ember the day the war was announced- 6 rules had been shouted by Royal messengers, and were drilled into our heads in training. All citizens aged 18 to 60 are required to fight in the war. Women and men are required to fight for their countries, or train the next wave of fighters. Women are not required to fight until their child is old enough to start training. People over the age of 40 will train newcomers and anyone with any experience of first aid will become medics. All fighters will train for 18 months, unless they have never received any previous training. Everyone is required to serve.
My village was small, with 40 people living in it. I lived with my grandparents, who tried to hide me from the outside. But they found me. I was 17 when I was dragged away from my home, and I will never forget the crumpled bodies of my grandparents as I left. I may have been young, but I grew into an adult in the following days.
This is my story. My story of growing into who I am today.

A Pureblood slave
Cold and numb, that's the only thing I've felt for the past 3 months. There's around 10 other humans here excluding myself and new ones come everyday. No one knows exactly where we are, all we know is that our worst nightmares are about to come true. ** I was once a carefree and extroverted girl that would just go with the flow and live in the moment. That was until the day they came out of existence and started to up rule the world. Now they control everything, most importantly the human race. Some call them monsters, some call them the demons sending, but they are the purebloods, the first vampires to be created. They're the ones that capture us and sell us off as their slaves. They are soulless creatures that couldn't give a damn about anyone but themselves and their every need. ** This is my story about how I, Miabella Nicole Arksin, became a slave to the most powerful pureblood, Ronan Pierre. *This is the first story I've written so sorry if there's a couple mistakes here and there I'll try my best to fix them and thanks for reading :-)*Complete
Vampire's Pet
The world had gone to hell long ago, taken over by the vampire race. In order to keep some sort of peace in our land, the Vampire Lords made a consecutive agreement. The rich and powerful humans could survive just as they had been, untouched by the vampires save for the occasional blood collections, or so they thought In reality, we were all under their control. Castles spread out throughout our land, one landing in each city. Each castle varied in the number of vampires residing there, but all of them carried a Lord. The Lords were the ones in charge in every city, whether we liked it or not. The vampires often roam through the city, making sure that everyone was in order and no one stepped out of line. If you stepped out of line, you died, end of story. Even if the rich were still under their control, their lives were still better than the poor. The poorest lives held a much worse fate. The men were to be put to work as slaves, whether that meant serving a specific vampire, or just building their castles, they were slaves. The women were to be pets. Pets were the lowest rank you could have. They were forced into cages that were too small to stand in with collars around their necks. They spent their lives in pet shops, just waiting for the dreadful day that they'll be bought. They were treated like animals, trained into what their master wanted, and punished if they misbehaved. Those who were lucky enough to live through that, we're to be slaughtered for their blood at age twenty-five in an act to make sure that our population would stay steady. I was born into this world. Born into this world full of blood-sucking monsters. Except, I was one of the lucky ones. Was. It all ended for me when I was 12, when I was taken away from the last bit of hope and family that I had left. Ever since then, I've lived in a cage, just rotting away, waiting, dreading for the day that some monster would make me his. This is my life. I am a pet. ~~~ Cover by: @mshacakeComplete
Rebellion
I am a Rebel, they say. They're right. It all started when I was a young girl, my parents died in a fire, started by the King of our land. I was only 6 years of age, and I was left with a burn tracing up my arm and onto my collarbone. I was taken in by a woman I called 'Stepmother'. The King's actions caused my life, he's caused so much death. At least half the village has suffered because of him. I now fight against the King, and his daughter, I'm now a leader. There are so many others whom he has wronged. We used to be small group, but now we've grown in numbers. Millicent (though we call her Maleficent on accident) the Dragon Sorceress, Peter Pan the boy who can fly, Killian Hook the Pirate, Red Riding Hood the Wolf Slayer and Animal Tamer, Hansel and Gretel the Witch Hunters, Rumplestiltskin the Wizard, Blue the Fairy, Maethranal the Elven Queen, Jack the Giant Killer, Gothel the Witch, Merida the Archer, and Banshee, are the original people in our group who aren't dead. Gothel was being hunted by Hansel and Gretel at the time I met all three of them. Merida was adopted by Maethranal and trained as an Elven archer. Blue and Banshee are related by blood. Peter and Killian were enemies, but then banded together to stop Rumpelstiltskin, who later agreed to work with me. I love them like family, especially since my seven friends were killed. I miss them so much. They were my first friends, and helped me start this... rebel group. My husband contributed just as much as they did, and had the same fate. Eight people dead in one tiny little raid. I killed my stepmother, and use her riches to buy weapons for us all. We now hide in an abandoned castle in the middle of the dark forest, called 'The Red Tower', and is shrouded in fog and mist. Nobody would dare to look for us here because of all the dark creatures that guard the areas around. Red tames them all and converts them to our cause. 'Who am I?' you ask? Well, you may know me My name is Snow WhiteComplete

They aren't just a fantasy anymore, they're real. My life was normal like any other person. Then my world came crashing down when I met Liam, he rocked every bone in my body and resistance was hard. I had to leave my world behind after finding out the truth of what I was and train as hard as I could. There were people after me and my kind and I wasn't sure how to stop them. How could I protect so many and lead a brand new life myself? How do I prevent war with the world? And how will I ever be able to resist Liam's charm when every fiber of my being pulls me toward him? The supernatural isn't a myth anymore, they are real and I'm one of them. And now the whole world is after us. Note: This can be read as a standalone but you can read Taken first if you want. There's no reason to read it if you don't want to. This book is completely understandable without reading Taken beforehand.
