The 12 Elementals by just-A_potato

Yet again Darkness is hungry for a war to end it all, but Light will always have troops at the ready. One girl. One kingdom. Eleven friends. Four Elements. No biggie. * I'm Melody, hybrid freak, nice to meet you, strange muggle who I know nothing about. I used to be like you, cluelessly ignorant and uninvolved with the outside world. You know, they have a big, yellow ball of gas in the sky. Weird. Anyway my life became something out of a bad Si-Fi movie, and no, Nicolas Cage isn't in it (sadly). There are two forces in the world, Light and Darkness, and when you side with Light, Darkness gets a stick up its ass and wants you to suffer. My friends and I, we roll with Light, you must know where that leads.... I have a kingdom to learn, powers to master, loud friends to keep in line, a boy that I'm messed up over, and above it all, Darkness to show whose boss. Not as easy as you might think, but this is MY story, and I know how it ends. Being a loyal follower of Light shows me the beauty in life and the devastation it can cause. Don't get me wrong, I love Light, but Darkness makes it hard to stay and fight. * Melody is weird. She's childish. She's awkward. And she's got boy issues she needs to work out. Mel will face evil like no other, but can she do it? Will the scales of Light and Darkness finally be tipped? How can one girl make a difference? This is Melody, a corky teenager, and she wants you to read her story. Like now. Enjoy! Highest rank- #69 in Fantasy (Still cant believe it!!)

Water by ihavefreetime

{Book 1} The year is 2150. Water is gone. Almost. A crippling drought managed to cause mass destruction to the world with the exception of five countries. Five corrupt countries that survived using tricks that the devil himself created. Deceit. Lying. Stealing. With the last stores of water, these countries should have flourished. However, dishonesty still poisoned the soil of these last places of refuge and havoc reigned. Away from the slow demise of the outside world, two sisters seemed to be awaiting death- dying more each day. The only thing that kept them alive was the lake which they had been entrusted with, hidden from the prying eyes of the government. But what will happen if the whereabouts of this lake is know to those that hold more sin in them than hell itself? What will happen to the two innocent sisters? There was no place for their purity in a world where the only thing pure was the water. And even that had an aftertaste of poison.
