IF YOU WISH TO READ THIS STORY IN ITS ORIGINAL, SAFE FORM, PLEASE GO TO WATTPAD * Unlike others around her, Arisa Lee was special. She was different, a child of darkness shunned by society because of her special ability, her power of alchemy. She chose a life of isolation when she grew because of that, and for a job that needed her to keep her identity and very existence a secret. And she loved it. A moment of recklessness and a dangerous mistake turns her life upside down though, throwing her into a world where alchemy is nothing uncommon. She is quickly surrounded by things she never expected to have existed - State Alchemists, Homunculi and the Philosopher Stone - though is quick to adapt and begin her journey to look for a way back home. While she meets many she comes to care for on her journey, she also meets with trouble, especially from a sadistic Homunculus who cannot leave her alone for more reasons than one. It is a test of time, emotions, bonds and secrets that Arisa must face on her journey, to protect those she wants to protect and achieve what she wants to achieve. But perhaps there is much more at stake and to be considered during her search for a way home - secrets, revelations, wishes and perhaps even love. ~~~~~~~~~~ Fullmetal Alchemist and all its franchise (C) Hiromu Arakawa KDrama Healer and all its franchise (C) Song Ji-Na OC and creative plot (C) Midnight_Lilac

Aymee Parker B2 - The Cursed Mark by 0reoblanc

English version of the second volume of Aymee Parker's serie. Aymee returns for her second year at Hogwarts and, contrary to what she thought, the tensions between the houses are far from being appeased. On the contrary! Since this damn mark appeared, everyone is looking for a culprit! Not to mention the return of Annelise Chevalier, who seems determined to discover her secret. "Dear students, we present to you the Mark of the Loser. Whoever wears it will be the victim of their karma. Friendship will be your salvation or your end here. Justice will be done: you are solely responsible for your misfortunes." On the side of the colony, it is not better! Relations are just as catastrophic: everyone is choosing sides, there are even spies! Aymee fears that the great prophecy will come true and destroy the closest thing she has to a home. Sources for this volume: - Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (for lessons and all) - Percy Jackson 2 - Sea of Monsters - The Demigods diaries (especially Son of Magic, which follows Alabaster) (It's set in 1989-90. The universes belong to JKRowling and RRiordan respectively. I just created the story and some characters. There are some jokes that are inspired from Pinterest or Tumblr. Please do not plagiarize!)
