Nyx has been on the run for who knows how long. A fugitive in the eyes of the Sanguina Institute. An enemy of the IndivCo Union. What a life it must be to run from two different evils.

◈ ◈ ◈

Nyx has led an uneventful life for four years, a much-needed change of pace after growing up in the Sanguina Institute surrounded by war councilors and a handful of genetically modified agents - but not without the threat of an assassination hovering over her shoulders as well as her fellow fugitives.
Things took a turn for the worst when her little world of safety and sunflowers began crumbling in on itself as the Institution threatened to take away everything from her. Of course, being a beacon of diplomacy and all, the Institution was welcome to compromise. They agreed to ensure her friends' and her safety - the only condition being that they turn themselves in and return to the very place they've been running from for four years. The bargain seemed laughable until another danger from the IndivCo union began looming over them.
Join Nyx as she treads through a world where sinister forces hiding in plain sight hold governments by the neck, where genetically engineered humans freely roam the planet undetected, and where people are constantly battling and choosing between two evils. 
Join Nyx as she lives a life on a knife's edge.

I started writing this story way back when. It's gone through multiple readings, re-readings, edits, revisions, and a whirlwind of miscellaneous events along the way until I decided to go on hiatus and take a break from writing for a while. It's a work in progress, just like me, but like all good things, it'll take time. How long? I don't know. Who knows anything these days anyway?

But I do know that I'm back, and I'm (probably) here to stay.

Special Agent Alyssa Caine has been tasked with the most important mission of her life: the assassination of the man who would bring about the end of the world. The only problem? He is already dead. A minor issue that is resolved in the year 2157 when a renegade group of scientists develops a device that allows to jump through time. They recruit the former special agent to send her back fifty years, to take just one man out of the equation, a minimal change with a predicted maximal effect on the fate of the world, and prevent a devastating war that has driven the last surviving humans to live in decrepit underground bunkers. Every action has a consequence. Alyssa is humanity's last hope, and her actions will determine the fate of the whole world. She is willing to sacrifice everything for a better future. But she soon realizes that the impact of her actions might be beyond her control, and beyond all predictions. _____ Highest Rankings: #16 in Science [06.02.2019] #36 in Dystopia [06.02.2019] #65 in FemaleProtagonist [01.02.2019] #71 in TimeTravel [06.02.2019] #1 in Paradox [28.02.2019] #1 in ONC2019 [01.02.2019] #3 in OpenNovellaContest2019 [28.02.2019] This is my entry for the ONC 2019!

[COMPLETED] "Love can be cruel," he mutters. "I thought it would be the reason I would propose, but it's not. Love never wins, does it?" Cruel. Devious. Twisted love. Love can play games, and we just happen to be the pawns. We play our moves strategically like a game of chess, until it comes to this moment. We can let the world separate us, stop us, pull us apart. We can let this old love between us fray at the edges. If love is a game, then Cato and I are destined to lose. "You're right," I whisper. "But love still exists. Even for a moment." His knuckles brush against my waist, before he decides to pull me flush against his chest. We're close, and burning, and his breath feels like electricity on my skin. In his green eyes, I see remnants of the heavens, the northern auroras flashing illuminating inside of them. He holds a new world inside of him, and I long to be the first to discover it. Cato's nose brushes up against mine, the space between our mouths fading like stardust. "Even for a moment," he murmurs my words against me. At once, our tensions release. ─── ·𖥸· ─── One half of her heart belongs to the man from the stars. The other belongs to the man of smoke and ash.

"I hope if everyone runs, you choose to stay." ------------------------- Y/N used to be just your average house cat. She used to be oblivious to anything beyond where the quietest place to sleep was and when her owners would be home. She was used to having the easy life. She was used to worrying about what she'd have for dinner, and that was all. Y/N was used to living on Earth. Now however, she's millions of light years away, trapped in a place where friends are little and enemies are everywhere. Alone. Shortly after she was kidnapped, Y/N was mutated into a Galra/Cat hybrid, and is now tasked with the job of keeping the Prince in line. Y/N knows she has to follow all orders given to her by her new superiors; she also knows that if anything were to happen to their Prince, then it would be her head. However, how does one protect someone who clearly hates you? Also, how are you supposed to blindly trust someone who won't tell you what the goal is in the long run? For now, Y/N keeps her head down. Completes her job. Listens to the witch in her head. Silently hoping that if she obeys for long enough, then maybe she can find a way back to Earth. But what happens when the person she's supposed to be protecting switches the roles? How will she cope without the one she's come to need? What will she do when a certain hybrid prince confesses his feelings towards her? ------------------------- New cover to celebrate 20k reads! WHOOP!

please read notes at the bottom. They are important :) [][][][]-[][][][]-[][][][]-[][][][] Zver' Soldat is what they called you, The Beast Soldier. HYDRA's most violent weapon yet. They didn't have to break you all that much, just enough that you'd obey every command. You were a cold-blooded carnivore, pulling apart your targets and leaving them unrecognisable, and with a few serums, you surely were their greatest treasure, a gold coin among bronze alloys. HYDRA has had many experiments, many failed and yet many oh so powerful, but none of them left a message quite like you did. You were strong, fast, and merciless. However, these qualities got you on to S.H.I.E.L.D.S radar fast, but finding you was like finding a needle in a haystack. There was no information on you whatsoever, no full appearance, no real name, no age, no family, nothing, just a gender and an alias. They hadn't even found where HYDRA had you located, but what happens when the Avengers infiltrate a base looking for stolen blueprints and you, unbeknownst to them, are what stands in their way? [][][][]-[][][][]-[][][][]-[][][][] NOTES: A NATASHA ROMANOFF X Y/N ROMANCE. *The story will not be entirely accurate to the movies. Some circumstances have been altered simply for the sake of this work of fiction. *This book will be 18+ and will contain scenes such as detailed smut, strong language, detailed violence, dark themes, and other aspects that may be triggering.

LOVE KILLA de Nyliahyun29

📌 NEW & UPDATED VERSION [English Type] Love Killa In the crime-ridden city of Saint La Vella, hope comes with a deadly price. Years ago, rogue scientist Dr. Travis Raymundo attempted the unthinkable-turning humans into immortals. But when a catastrophic earthquake destroyed his lab, he vanished, leaving behind nothing but rumors and ashes. Now, ex-politician Volga Duerkson has built La Vella University-a beacon of free education and promise. But beneath its clean halls and golden reputation, shadows whisper of secrets darker than death. Killa, a mysterious spy from the North, is sent to infiltrate the university on a mission that could change everything. Born different and aware of her limits, Killa avoids what's bad for her-but curiosity pulls her toward something she's never truly understood: human emotion. Stubborn and strange in her own way, she starts to open up-not through love, but through friendship, guidance, and the rare comfort of someone who truly sees her. As crime and chaos rise around her, Killa must ask herself: Will exploring these unfamiliar feelings save her-or destroy her? But emotions come with a price. And in a place where truth kills faster than bullets, even love can be a weapon-or the noose that chokes her soul. Some hearts were never meant to beat. Some feelings were never meant to bloom. But once they do... they never let go. ⚠️ CONTENT WARNING! This story contains brutal scenes, criminal activities, offensive language, and mature content that may not be suitable for young readers.

Guns, revenge and buildings to bomb, what could go wrong? ✮ He came in, gun held out in front of him in one hand while the other was resting on his hip where a sharp dagger gleamed in the light. "Come on out little girl, why not make this easier for both of us. The agency you ran away from just want to have a little talk, that's all." She scoffed internally. Yeah right. Then the footsteps ceased. She peeked to the right, then to the left. Neither direction showed any sign of the intruder. She looked up in front of her and gasped, the glint of steel and smell of death as overwhelming as it was adrenaline inducing, exciting. "Boo." ✮ Murder, accidents, assassinations. Call it what you will, it's all the same, all has the same life breaking, mind shattering consequences - be it for the victim or the bystander. It had shaped Alex in a way no one should be. Broken down and rebuilt into the perfect soldier, one who had the power to change the world, to fight battles that would either make or break the carefully constructed vision we all live in. The only small, minute, really unimportant detail - it's pretty hard to get into a government classified site when you're 15 years old and have a rag-tag team of double-crossing back-stabbers behind you. Not to mention the threat of a world war and ghost hanging above your head. Armed with sarcasm, wit, and a hell of a lot of aggressive intentions, it won't be too long till a sticky situation is all that's ahead of you. Sometimes, running head-first into a situation isn't the best idea. Instead, you gotta play a game. A deadly game where either you have all the pieces on the board, or you have nothing. [previously known as Espionage: double-cross] Thanks for reading :)
