JCA CONTEST ONE 1ST PLACE WINNER

Once upon a time, people thought witches and warlocks were real. They were right. Despite being given a gift, most used their sorcery for evil and flaunted it with no concern. Their mistake. After the whole anomaly, almost all were killed. Now, even centuries later, governments across the world are trying to extinguish the endangered race. My race.

My name is Amber Good, and I'm a descendant of Sarah Good, one of the first hanged in the Salem Witch Trials, and I'm running for my life.  Ever since I was little, my parents, my father being a warlock descendent and my mother a witch, have moved my big brother, Parker, and me all over America to evade capture by the government. Our family on accusations of being witches and warlocks constantly fight to survive. Being a very powerful witch, I constantly have to practice my power, wholly so I can hold it down. Just a year ago, our parents went missing. Forced to move on, we have now relocated to Anaheim, California. Despite struggling between two lives and surviving against a deep-rooted hate determined to destroy my kind, there is one thing I do know: this is my story.

146 parts Complete Mature
Rated #2 warewolf #6 creatures of the night #71 hybrid This is Book 2 of the 'Destined Luna Series' (You can read as a stand alone. However it will be more enjoyable after reading: Book 1 - The Rainbow Wolf And Her Alpha.) I am Jaycee Black, future Alpha of the Moonlight pack, and a hybrid thanks to my mother being half witch. The worlds most powerful witch at that - but that's a story for another day! When your Mother and Father are the most powerful Alpha and Luna in all the land, that comes with a sea full of enemy's and danger. As their daughter, I am believed to be someone special and a huge target for a lot of bad people. The world I live in has an endless supply of humans, blood suckers and witches down every turn, hanging for a taste of my power. Even if I don't know what that is yet. Never being able to fit in, thanks to the ability I was born with hasn't helped. I am able to see and feel others emotions. Know when they are lying isn't something people appreciate. Don't even get me started on not getting my wolf when I came of age. How am I meant to be stronger or even defend myself if I don't have a wolf? Might as well fight me blindfolded with my arms tied behind my back. A promise of revenge made long before my birth, was what put me on this torturous path. I am doing my best to survive in a world full of magic, hate and anger where everyone either wants me dead or used to breed the next generation of hybrid warriors. After being kidnapped my life only gets worse. Problem is, the evil witch council have also wiped my memory. The only guarantee in my life right now, is the promise of daily torture. I dream of a day I can find my mate and prey that the magic hidden deep within me, awakens. I don't know how I'm expected to survive, but I know one thing... I am not going down without a fight.

The Prophecy by lspearson

Ariella's biggest desire in life has always been such a simple one. She wants to be 'normal.' Unfortunately, that one simple wish has never been within her grasp. Coming from a long line of witches is bad enough, but she's even more different than the rest of her family. The fact that no one will give her any answers to why she's so different doesn't help matters. Her entire existence is shrouded in secrets that everyone around her refuses to reveal. After a family tragedy, she moves to a new town, and she gets her first chance to at least pretend to be 'normal.' For the first time, she's allowed to leave the house and go to an actual school. She makes friends, and she develops her first crush, that's quickly followed by her second. She's finally living the normal teenage life she'd dreamed of, but it doesn't last. Everything she believed about herself and the world around her is changed in an instant. Family secrets come to light one after another, turning her entire world upside down in the process. She quickly realizes that sometimes ignorance really is bliss, and maybe she didn't really want to know the answers to the questions she'd always asked, especially when one of these truths causes people close to her to turn their backs on her without hesitation. Before she can even recover from the shock, she's thrust into a war that she hadn't even known existed. Loyalties will be tested. She'll have to choose sides between all of the people she's come to care about. Will she stand with her family, her new friends, or the two boys who both hold a piece of her heart? One thing is for sure. She'll have to let go of her dream of 'normal.'

((Originally, Phoenix)) “Leave me alone!” Her form flickered in the dim light. The brothers shared a look. “All right,” one started. “Just let us say something first. We know you have powers; we can sense them on you. We can do this because we have powers too. We call it magic. If you want, we can show you.” “Prove it then.” ~^~^~^~^~ There was a monster inside of her – a dark thing that always tried to claw its way out, ripping her insides to shreds as it went. She found no relief from it, maybe because she had no happy memories to find solace in, nor anyone to find comfort in. And yet, Amber could be the catalyst to setting a series of events that had been prophesied centuries before, into motion, bringing together three more people – the embodiments of the Emblems – to bring magic back to life. But in this underlying world of Adepts, Demons and secrets within secrets, unlocking their potential will be harder than you think. ~^~^~^~^~^ So, this is my 2014 Nanowrimo story, which is basically an attempt to rewrite Phoenix, where it shall go through major changes in plot, characters as well as effects of my new-and-improved writing style. I hope you enjoy it, and please give constructive criticism! {Also, the cover is temporary, till I find someone who can help me with it :P}
