Immortal Heir Book I: Forsaking Dreams previously title Away With Me

Marren showed up to Moon's Creek Orphanage at her seventh year, knowing nothing of her past or where she might have even come from, with only a small bauble on a chain as a clue. The day she arrived, the lady of the orphanage found her sleeping on one of the cots in the spare rooms- not that there had been many spare rooms. Without question they took her in, had her preform menial chores, and help with the younger children.

Nearly a decade later and she was the last one. She knew that in less than two weeks she'd be kicked from the premise by the Empire's law, and with no where to go and no knowledge of the outside world, she was lost and hopeless. By chance or maybe fate, the Acolytes of Marais came to Moon's Creek seeking an apprentice. 

Now risen out of poverty, Marren is learning more about the world than she had ever dreamed... or wished to know- elves walk as men covered by glamour, the King's forge is run by an Orc, and the kitchen is spilling with the small folk. Nothing is what is seems in the Capital of the Terrmirica empire, and she's about to find out she plays a much larger role than anyone anticipated.

(Book 1 in the 'Blood Drops' series) Five drops for the vampires who drink it. Four for the creatures who relish in it. Three for the strong who take it. Two for the weak who cower from it. One for the humans from whom it is taken. *** This book, along with all the others in this series, was written in a manic creative frenzy when I was about 11-12 years old. I do not consider it quality work, nor do I find it representative of my writing skills today. I will not take it down, because it is still fairly popular and I enjoy reflecting upon how I have developed my writing over the years. All I ask is that if you choose to read the book(s), please take into consideration that this was written by a tween many years ago, and that I am not the same person (or writer) as I was then. Thank you. *** 16 year old Felicia Winters had a life no one would be proud to call their own. No friends and a dysfunctional family; she had been bullied for most of her life. Until the day when she was captured by vampires, and sold to their prince, Braith. As a mysterious bond forms between them, they both deny it and refuse each other. But as Felicia drifts further and further from him, a rift begins to form within Braith, putting him and his entire kingdom- in fact, the whole world- at risk. But will she be able to love the man who has abused her so much? Or has she already found another love? And as a werewolf rebellion brews in the shadows, they are running out of time. Soon there will only be rubble left to rule over. Will Felicia be able to bring peace to the world, or will the kingdom crumble? For just one drop is never enough. Thanks for your votes and comments, they mean the world to me. Please help me with constructive criticism if you can! (Also, I suck at summaries, so sorry about that). Sequel 'Two More Drops' up now!

Prettiest Vampire by LoriEllisxox
25 parts Complete
Fates, Furies, Sirens, Harpies, call them what you will. Daciana and Ilinca were an ancient evil, and had been known by many names. They had always existed alone, shunning both humans and other demons, yet for the past three hundred years they had lived with the vampires. It was necessary, following the death of their beloved baby sister Anna. Their grief over Anna's death drove them to madness - life with the vampires was all that had brought them back from this dark insanity. And so for three centuries they had bowed to the vampires, called them Master and Mistress, but no longer. Tonight, everything would change. Lilian Van Schattigdame was the company's top salesman in Eastern Europe. He was also their only salesman in Eastern Europe. Had there been others, his top salesman status would likely have been in doubt. He hadn't actually sold anything at this point. Oh, and he was also his boss's wife's cousin's nephew. Count Dodrescu requires a maiden, to fulfill a ritual and serve as the vessel for his beloved Mirela's demon soul. Renfield needs to supply his Master with a maiden, to gain favour and achieve immortality. Daciana and Ilinca need to prevent Dodrescu from finding a maiden, so that he will not discover they are Mirela's murderers. So what happens when all that anyone finds is a guy named Lilian? Prettiest Vampire alternates between horror and humour. It is possibly the scariest - and funniest! - vampire story you will read this year!

Welcome to the future, written in the past. A mutant plague has rendered part of the population as zombie-like humanoids. They have a conscious mind though, but their craving for brains is a bit of an antisocial issue. Being mostly made up of impoverished individuals, it is not surprised that they got cured cheaply and lastly, despite being the main test subjects. Lochlyn is their representative. She just wanted an education beyond elementary school. A little luckier stricken part of the infected population evolved into reverents. Reverants have a feudal system over the zombies to "keep them in order". The luck may have had to do with them being upper-class when being treated. Basilica is their representative. At eighteen, she wanted body modifications, a job, and etc... as a rite of passage entering adulthood. At least that's what she was thinking. The more she was told no, the more she wondered what she could do. There are still uninfected humans left in the U.S.A. Most of them are middle-class. Katrina is their representative. She gained a family member, but lost two. She aches to find out why she can never return home again. The three eighteen-year-old females, along with their beaus, journey for truth, equality, justice, restoration, love, and freedom lead them to the same end: the capital.

Remembering You For Eternity by runexi

[[Book 2 (FINAL book) of "One Lifetime is Never Enough"]] "I would have waited for you forever." The lament of a faraway voice that she had missed - that she had been longing to answer to - echoed in her mind. "But, you are no longer here." The despairing sigh was a muted murmur - clawing at her, begging for her to respond. But she was there, here, wherever the voice was. But then again, she might as well was not. She could no longer see, could no longer reach him. The voice sounded so near, but it was also as far as another world she could no longer be in. Nevertheless, she could still feel, in the darkness that was cradling her non-existence; the agony she felt in her non-beating heart, in her dormant soul, it was all due to her longing. For the owner of the voice. For him. The voice kept begging in agony - tormenting her, tormenting himself. And she could not do anything. "Please wait for me." "Please remember me." "Why... why can't I see you?" "Won't you wait for me?" ----------------- For you, I will wait for eternity. This time, I will wait. This time, it is my turn to wait. So please, please just let me find you. Please, be there when I find you. Please, tell me that you are still mine. That I still exist, perhaps not in your memory, but etched in your very soul. Like you have been deeply engraved in mine, lingering like a beautiful illness I will gladly bear and succumb to. Because, I will search to all corners of this world, and wait until the end of days. For you. Because, this world will always be wretched without you. And then, I will always, forever, bloom. For you. -----------------

"As I laid on the filthy mat, my white hair fanning out like a halo around my head, I felt that ice inside of me fester. It grew and spread until it spanned across my entire body. It engulfed every thought inside my head, every feeling that was bubbling up inside of me. Like a virus. The cold quieted it all, until everything was still and silent... Until I felt nothing at all." Eira Gellert's world comes crumbling down as her sister is forced to leave for the army. Now alone and desperate, Eira looks for a job in a society where if you don't have a job by nineteen you either go into the army or starve. When searching, Eira stumbles across a woman claiming to be a half fae in charge of a spy rebellion going against the king of the fae kingdom "Hiraeth". She offers Eira a job to work as a spy for her. Eira reluctantly agrees, knowing she has no other options. But the deal does not come without a price, to enter the fae kingdom, Eira must become fae. Now equipped with uncommon powers and other fae abilities, Eira is thrust into a world she's only ever heard fairy tales about. One's with evil kings and dark crowns and warriors made of wings and fire. There, she meets Sable Deidre, the king's killer. He is made of darkness and known for his brutality. Can she overcome her fear of this new life and the killer before her, or will his shadows swallow her whole?
