The year is 2118, America has changed its name to "Freeland", terrorism is at an all-time high, and humanity is at a crossroads. Many have attempted to fight against the corruption within the crumbling nation, while "others" fight back to keep their oppressive supremacy alive. Those "others" are called Vultures, and they seek to kidnap, murder, and destroy anyone who isn't one of them...
Rora Jones happens to be one of their biggest targets. She's a black, gun-slinging virago and a skilled assassin with a killer track record. Not only is she a walking weapon that poses a great threat to them, she has something that they want. It is stowed away so deep in her grand, gated mansion, that she doesn't even have access to it. The Vultures want it so badly that they try to trap her. Little do they know, she'd rather die than let them get it. She had once made a vow to her family to protect it with every fiber of her being, and she isn't going to back down from doing just that.
As the Vultures presence grows stronger and more threatening, Rora remains unshaken. Bucking the system and the lawless Vultures within Freeland is all that she knows. Having been brought up cutthroat, she won't go down without a fight, even if it costs her her life.

Hunter (1st Book of the Supernatural Hunters)
IN EDITING. COMPLETE. "There are such beings as vampires, some of us have evidence that they exist. Even had we not the proof of our own unhappy experience, the teachings and the records of the past give proof enough for sane peoples." ~Bram Stoker In our day, people fawn over the idea of supernaturals through fanfictions and novels, but what they don't realize is that these creatures are very real. And extremely dangerous. Especially vampires. They don't sparkle in the light or sweep young women off their feet. They're cold blooded murderers. In order to combat their devastation, an organization of trained human hunters was formed. Each hunter for every creature has a different name. Vampire slayers are simply known as hunters. Victoria Abelard, better known as Vick, was a famous vampire hunter in the early nineteenth century. After a botched job, she was turned into the one thing she hated most. A vampire. Two hundred years later, Vick has learned how to blend in with the human crowd. Her life couldn't be anymore perfect, especially with the disappearance of vampires for over fifty years (which hunters gladly help keep in place). However, her life is turned upside down when two old friends pop back into it. Them requesting her to assassinate the king of the vampires. Just when she thought she was free, Vick is thrown back onto the roller coaster of life. Along the way, she goes through a mess of terrifying memories, horrible grudges, sweet revenge, and love. *Rated mature for violent scenes and language*Complete
the prize of his love ( discontinued to be rewritten )
( discontinued to be rewritten ) Huntingtown was panicking; no one knew where the sirens were coming from. There was no electricity, and there was no way for the storm Sirens to be sounding, yet they were. The entire Town was awake; everyone had a weapon. They had grabbed guns, knives, swords, and bats if they could be wielded and used for self-defense; Renee aimed her rifle at the trees, looking desperately for an explanation. Why would a siren sound? They only sounded when they were in Danger, so where was the Danger? When the predators revealed themselves, that was where the siren noise was coming from. Renee could feel her heart jump into her throat. Her face went pale; they were here. They had found the Town. Terror and panic soon swept Huntingtown; everyone knew what those monsters could do. After all, they did conquer the planet and impose the "choosing." Huntingtown was created hoping that its isolation in a cold climate would keep the Predators away, but it didn't. A voice came over those speakers. A male voice Gruff and laced with a growl. It was almost as if whoever was speaking was annoyed and angry. "Although I have enjoyed seeing your little Town outmaneuver many hunters. I am afraid this is where your little games end. However, I will give you a chance to keep your freedom. A hunt. You will be red by your best hunter, Renee Madison." Renee felt her blood go cold as she stared wide-eyed at the ship. She was unknowingly dropping her gun at the news. " she will be your leader; she will be my prize. You have a time advantage. Go!" The ship took off, looking for a place to land, all while the news sank into the Town's residence. Renee had known she had fucked up when she fired at one of those predators and hit him. She had proven herself worthy of the hunt. Now she has to face the consequences, not only her but her entire Town had to. Renee had to win this hunt; the fate of her Town depended on it.Complete

Run away from everyone you ever cared about." +++++++++++++ Jessie Daniels is just like you. She uses reading as an escape from her average, bookworm life.

TWD: Survival's Edge ➳ Daryl Dixon (discontinued/rarely posting)
"𝙃𝙚 𝙬𝙖𝙨𝙣'𝙩 𝙗𝙪𝙞𝙡𝙩 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙡𝙤𝙫𝙚. 𝙎𝙝𝙚 𝙢𝙖𝙙𝙚 𝙝𝙞𝙢 𝙬𝙖𝙣𝙩 𝙞𝙩 𝙖𝙣𝙮𝙬𝙖𝙮." = this is a partial slow burn = The world has fallen apart, leaving only the ruthless, and the desperate to fight for what's left. In a world overrun by the dead, survival isn't just about skill-it's about trust. Amara Hangings and her best friend, Henry have relied on each other to make it this far. Whenever they are captured by a group, they cross paths with a stuck-up, crossbow prick named Daryl Dixon. Henry sees danger in Daryl. Amara sees something else. As they fight through this new world, an uneasy trust begins to form. But in a world where attachments are a risk, letting someone in could be the most dangerous choice of all. For Daryl, survival has always been black and white-until Amara proves that sometimes, the gray areas are worth the risk. ------------ This roughly takes place in the beginning of TWD. I changed the plot a bit to fit in more Amara x Daryl and to make more of a new plot while keeping the basics of the TWD season 1 plot. In this Daryl is late 20's- early 30's. I tried to keep in the character of Daryl Dixon as shown in TWD and what they have said in interviews. Enjoy! I DID NOT MAKE THIS CONCEPT. THIS IS A FANFIC FOR THE WALKING DEAD Hey, sorry this is discontinued. My love for walking dead and just Norman Reedus/Daryl Dixon has burned out. I'm so sorry, I truly enjoyed this and who knows- I might come back for some more chapters but for right now I'm focusing on senior year <3 best ranks: #72 in Dystopian #74 in Gory
Gangsters Paradise
A harsh grip took hold of my shoulder, the fingernails sinking into my tender skin. 'Sorry princess, tag is over. I've got you now,' Tora's brown eyes bored into mine. Swiftly, he pointed a pistol at the side of my head. 'I've just filled this new bad boy with bullets,' he whispered so closely in my ear that I felt his hot breath on my cheeks. 'Let's see if this gun can work, shall we?' His finger was on the pistol trigger and he looked ready to kill me. But with the boosted confidence I had, I wasn't ready to die. 'Damn you....' I whispered breathlessly. 'I won't die as long as you're alive.' 'What are you ranting about?' growled Tora. 'I'll let you know!' I screamed, spinning around so quickly that I felt dizzy. I raised my bleeding leg and let it meet Tora's face. Gunshots, deaths, assassins, mass murders and gangsters all seem like a nightmare for an average teenage boy, but for fifteen-year-old Hyde-Smith, the bloody chaos becomes reality when he's forced to join an illegal ruthless gangster group called the Gangsters Paradise. Truths unravel and secrets come to life as Hyde is submerged into the gangster ways and the only way to receive his normal teenage fate back again is to fight another heinous gangster team called The Skull. But things are never easy. Especially when you are a rookie in the gangster world. Ranked #1 in MOURNER [December 7th 2024] Ranked #2 in OUTLAWED [December 16th 2024]Complete
