Kings and Theives and Queens and Things - Love and Death and Fear and Wings.
"What is the difference between a King and a thief?" she asks, her voice sickly sweet, like poision driping from a flower.
"One rulles a kingdom and one is not wheighed down by the need of others? there are many things diffrent from a thief and a king," I answer. Cunfused and slightly insulted that she said it like it would be hard to answer. What does it matter?
"Wrong. Oh so wrong, your highness," she say in a voice full of laughter
"one is not wheighed down by the need of others? don't make me laugh, a thief can run their own type of kingdom too, the difference is they dont hide behind theit walls and their Soldiers to become king, they kill the old one, infront of everyone, making their power clear," she answer as she tips her hat and waves a black gloved hand at me and exits the room.
"At least I'm not a murder, then," I call back, she twirls around to face me with a sharp smile, eyes wild.
"I wouldn't be so sure about that, your highness, you should probably check what those advisers of yours have been up to," She says in a mocking tone before bowing. I feel my gut twist in displeasure
Inja Kazema is a natural born thief and the queen of them no less, or as she prefures, The king, and she loves her gang of owls of The moon bar.
Kai Iza is the soon to be king of Imana, and hates theives, like any decent person, but when he has an encounter with a strange girl he starys to rethink everything he knows and if what he's doing is so different from a Their.

Forget the plot, let's become a Runaway Witch!
Isn't it said that you should give away what you don't use? After losing my life, I became the Villainess in a novel I didn't even finish. That was alright; I had asked for this second chance, after all. Even if I didn't think my desperate pleas were going to be answered like this, I would not waste this chance. Living with my family was comfortable, but my ambitions were big. Still, the first thing to do was to evade the death flags. For that, I have to evade the Crown Prince at all costs. As a commoner, if he sees me and takes me as a concubine like in the original, it will be very troublesome. But what is this!? Didn't my parents tell you I was sick? Go away and enjoy the festival, and leave me alone! We don't know each other! If he is so insistent on taking me with him, then there is no other choice: I will run away from home! Mother, father, Lanto...I'm sorry. I hope your heads don't roll because of this. I sincerely enjoyed our time together. I learnt a lot from my father. Maybe becoming a wandering witch is not so bad... ... Isn't this how reincarnation stories usually go? With an obsessed male lead who suddenly shows interest in the reincarnated protagonist? But I'm completely honest when I say I will never marry or fall in love with this dude. And no, it's not just the usual 'protagonist who will later be proved wrong' talk. I will not let this become a cliche, damn it!

She soon discovers why she has purple eyes and it comes with an anointing, connected to a long-lost prophecy, and the awakening of magical powers. 18-year-old Grisonce Arlon is not the most respected prince in the Kingdom of Ardania.

His Secrets And Lies (Bwwm)
The banging starts again but this time a lot louder. I can hear the girls screaming up stairs. I pick up my phone and dial 911. "Hello this is 911 what's your emergency?" "There are a bunch of wolves outside my house. I think they have rabies or something I'm not sure." The banging gets louder and I can feel my face getting wet from the tears. "Mamm did you say wolves are there?" "Yes Yes there are wolves about 10 of them out here in my front yard. I need help!" I hang up the phone and sit on the end of the stair case. I close my eyes and start praying. Something I haven't done in a while. "I have faith, there is a god. I have faith, there is a god, I have faith, there is a god." I repeat over and over. The glass breaks and I start screaming. I stand up and try to scramble up the stairs. The door comes falling down and there are about 10 wolves standing in front of my door. A woman emerges and walks toward me. She snaps her fingers and the pretty brown wolf is in front of me. Right there by my face. "Ridanna you know what to do."

Maya applied pressure to my wound. I hissed from the pain. "Stop fucking around." She rolled her eyes at me. Maya finished tending my wound, wrapping it with a bandage. As she got up to put the first aid away, I stopped her. My thumb rubbed against the cool skin of her hand. I pulled her to sit on my lap. My fingers ran through her hair. "You're doing it again." I ignored her, sinking my chin into her shoulder. "I have no idea what you're talking about." I placed small pecks on neck. Her breathing turning heavy. "Stop. Someone could walk in." "And? You think they want to watch? Shit, I would." _____________________________________ ~Maya Castillo~ Escaping her traumatic past, Maya and her brother, Santiago, run to New York.
