My grandmother was a very eccentric woman but she was lovable. Every night she told me stories of a barrier that separated our world from a world beyond our wildest imaginations. She told me that there were all sorts of magical beings that were living their own lives. I would ask; "Do they know about our world, Granma?" and she would smile and nod. She said that they had agents watching over us like guardian angels. Disguised as teachers, foster parents, policemen, even pets! Then I would ask; "Have you ever met one?" and she would say; "Why yes! I have!" whenever I asked her to tell me about it she would say it was a story for another day. As time went on and she passed away, I thought they were just fairy tales designed to keep my active mind busy and entertained. Little did I know the value behind those stories...

The Land Beyond The Waterfall
So... My life was pretty normal until... 1) My mother died. 2) My dad killed her. 3) And...I lodged a case on him as he killed her. Yeah, I know. My life is pure shitty. And do you what else makes it weird and shitty? The visions I get! See, I won't even be guilty to send my dad to prison 'cause I remember nothing about him. I only faintly remember mom too. Anyways... And then some weird monster decides to attack our school and Naya goes Egyptian sky goddess. (nuts) Hehe. Soon we find out that she is a 'that "m" word'. She tells us that we are magicians too! And then (*dramatic drum roll*).....The......quest begins. There is a home land of magicians. M-O-N-A-S-T-A-S-I-A It's a whole new planet between Earth and Mars. The planet was destroyed ages ago by a group of people which we have to bring back in 5 days, else it's pieces will crash on Earth and destroy the humanity completely. And the weirdness doesn't end here. We have to defeat a 'Dark Lord' too. He was a maniacal god who became a magician with the help of another magician. We have to kill him because if we don't then, he would kill us, which doesn't sound nice (and is a bit confusing) (*wink*). *** This is the first book of Monastasia series. The next book is "The Chained Goddess". The prequel is "Becoming A Grey Villainess". This is my first book and it may have some grammatical errors. Please point them out in comments.Complete
The Last Thing I Did
Ages ago a scientist by the name of Benjamin Wolves conducted an experiment and perchance made the Supernatural. By creating a world with no laws and no limits there had to be something wrong one day. In the year of 2004 the first ever Deadwolf was created, a wolf who could escape death and has a cancer-like poison in its veins. Benjamin didn't think much of it, but now here we are in the 31 first century and alternate dimensions exist, all kinds of Werewolves and the world is collapsing. What Benjamin could have never predicted was the birth of another mutation wolf: Rea Wolves. Daughter of the first ever Deadwolf and something far advanced than a Deadwolf. She has been set on Earth by her mother to defeat her old enemy Benjamin. .... "Did you free Falk from Hell", she immediately asked Benjamin when she stormed into his office. He looked confused at Rea but she didn't trust him. He was and still is a master manipulator. He could hide his real thoughts and emotions from a Deadwolf. "Rea Wolves", he said standing up from his chair making a little bow for her. "Answer my question", she said frustrated. "You differ a lot in the looks from your mother but you clearly have gotten her character", he said with a grin on his face. Rea was about to get violent but then thought to herself that I'd be smarter if she stayed calm and tried to read his emotions and search through his thoughts to a gateway to Benjamin's memories. "I'm technically your grandfather. Aren't you glad that you have some family left", he asked her and she looked with a raised eyebrow at him which made him chuckle. It reminded him of her real mother Deadlive. "What a nice grandfather I have! You've been killing the family Wolves for centuries now, should I be grateful for that", she said. "Now answer my question: Have you freed Falk from Hell?!" ... What if the villain was actually the hero? * Can contain curse words, suicide thoughts * This book is entirely made up by meComplete

Now if you ask me how it all began, I don't exactly remember but I know it started when I moved in with my grandma who I haven't met in all my twenty years of living. I have been in and out of foster homes since I can remember, living with families I knew nothing about. Being the outcast and them constantly asking me what's wrong because I simply did not speak. The only thing that kept me sane was my good grades throughout school. I got the satisfaction of doing the one thing that people kept telling me over and over I couldn't do.
