"There is always light in the darkest of places. You just have to find it and emabrace it."
On the Island of "Amist Lucem" or Lost Light, Lilah Evermore has never had a normal life. She didn't know why, but growing up, her village sememd to hate her. Men and women would often tell to forget her dreams, that nothing good would ever come her way, and that is was ok to be put down because she was a female.
In school, the
girls never talked to her and the teachers never treated her like a student.They would always send her to do task, some dangerous and mean. Boys didn't necessarily have a problem with her, but were told not to talk her, making her an outcast. For 18 years, Lilah never thought her life was going to turn in her favor.
One day, while Lilah was walking back to village library where she worked, she was called over by an elderly woman that needed help in the shop next door. While carrying a box of supplies, Lilah tripped over a lamp that set the shop on fire. The old woman immediately saved herself and ran to safety, but left Lilah inside.
Her first instinct was to cower in fear. Surely this was the end of her days, but suddenly her hands started to glow. Lilah had no idea what was happening, and then the whole building exploded. After the debris cleared, Lilah still stood without a scratch on her. The old lady and the people around the shop had only minor injuries but immediately took Lilah to thd high elders of the island.
The people in her village thought she was a witch and wanted her dead, never to be seen again. Lilah, not understanding what happened either was ready to accept her fate, but a certain queen from another land does not. She has other plans in mind.

Noel (completed!)
**this book is completed!!** This is a story about werewolves with some witches and vampires thrown in. -Preview- I opened my eyes to see a woman standing in front of me. I don't know who this woman is or what's wrong. She has beautiful silver hair that's matted with leaves and sticks. Her face though beautiful is distraught, her face is a very creamy pale color. Her lips are as red as blood. She has tears running down her face and a bruise just below her left eye. She's holding my necklace. The moonlight shines on the single engraved word "Noel". "Take this." She says, "Noel! Take this and run. Put it around your neck and never, NEVER take it off. It will keep you safe." The woman hears something and turns around to look, then looks back at me with panic and sorrow in her eyes. I hear a male voice behind her mumbling something, I can't make out what he's saying. I can't make out the man's face as he walks up behind the woman and squeezes her shoulders. He takes the necklace wincing and slips it over my head. They're talking to me but I can't hear what they're saying. I only see the panic in their face. "Noel! RUN." I hear screams and growls as I'm running as fast as I can. I make it out of the woods and onto a street. I hear the woman's blood curdling scream before I'm blinded by a light and everything fades to darkness.Complete
The Lost Life of Laraine
She lead a rather tragic life. The black sheep of her family due to her lack of affinity for fire. Her affinity was quite the opposite. Water in fact. Already in a time when women did not really have much political power or rights, she was outcasted by her family despite being of nobility. Still allowed to live in the distant west wing of the massive Grand Duke's manor, she has never eaten a single meal with her family nor extended family, and has spent her loneliness in her books and sword lessons. Although only taught by the head butler and one of the low ranked knights of the family, she was quite bright and if her family would have given her a chance she would have done great things. If only she didn't die at such a young age. Married off to some "hero" of sort that had slayed the Dragon of the North who was terrorizing the land and threatened the kingdom, this hero also had an affinity for fire and held her in disdain like the rest of her family. Suddenly a girl of another world was transported to their world, picked up by this hero and put into his secure care. The pair soon fell for each other despite the hero's marriage, and many believed Laraine got jealous of this girl of mystery, and tried to kill her. This was definitely not true. But because the girl was favored by the temple and kingdom Laraine was quickly arrested and put on trial. You can probably tell what happened to Laraine. But something strange happened the day of her execution. As soon as her decapitated head hit the ground the sky turned blood red and it began to rain fire. No one survived that day. But for some reason time went back, and Laraine was back to being a child, but with no memory of her future. There were select few in her life, however, that remembered her tragedy and now perhaps will take action to prevent it. NOTE: I'M AWARE THERE ARE A LOT OF INCONSISTENCIES. IT WILL BE EDITED SOME DAY BUT RIGHT NOW I'M JUST TRYING TO FINISH IT.
