Stolen From Me (Discontinued)
Zillael. A large country in the mountains, that was boasted of holy, righteous glory and best known for its pure clean lands, fresh crisp air, breathtaking scenery and the two princesses that belonged there. The first princess, named Fawn, was fun loving, energetic and quiet rebellious. She had an innocent face that no man or woman could resist. Fawn was quite social and had the beauty of the sun itself. The other sister, named Catalina, was a strong contrast to her sister. Catalina was rather quiet, regal and always abided by the law. She often spent her time with the Emporer and Empress or in the royal garden by herself. She too was also beautiful and as radiant as the moon with endless intellect. The young Oriental princesses received news of that the Emperor has recently passed away and that another must take the throne. Catalina being the older sister, was next in line to take the throne and rule as empress of Zillael. However, Catalina's throne and title are stolen from her by her scorned younger twin sister, Fawn. Fawn tarnished her older sister's reputation with lies and rumors. She then has her sold as a slave and left for dead, while she claims her sister's death and takes the crown. Though Catalina was always the calm and collected young girl, no one would be able to recognize her after the torture she has been through. =========================== Stolen From Me is a fantasy story involving adventure, violence, betrayal, revenge, abuse, hatred, bullying and mature content. The central themes of this story are family, friendship, bravery and most importantly, forgiveness. The setting of the story is the fictional Chinese kingdom of Zillael in the Tang Dynasty. I do my best when it comes to grammar and spelling. Despite having major dyslexia, I try to proofread each chapter multiple times to get it right. Copyright © Mòlìhuā chá [Wattys 2016]Complete

Aldi lay on the cold floor, his heart racing and his body drenched in sweat. He had just experienced another nightmare, one of many that had been plaguing him as of late. In this dream, he was lost in a dense forest, pursued by an unseen creature that seemed determined to capture him. He had struggled and screamed for help, but there was no one to hear him. As he lay on the floor, trying to catch his breath, Aldi couldn't help but wonder what these strange dreams meant. He had always been a sound sleeper, but lately he had been waking up in a state of fear and exhaustion, feeling as though he had just run a marathon. He glanced at the old alarm clock on his bedside table, its bright red numbers announcing that it was just past four in the morning. In the distance, he could hear the faint sound of people reciting prayers at the mosque near his parents' house. Aldi sighed and sat up, rubbing his eyes. He knew he wouldn't be able to get back to sleep after the nightmare he had just had. He got to his feet and stumbled over to the window, looking out at the brightening sky. The sun was just beginning to peek over the horizon, and the birds outside were starting to chirp, signaling the arrival of a new day. Despite the fatigue and fear that still lingered within him, Aldi couldn't help but feel a sense of hope as he watched the morning dawn. Maybe today would be the day that he finally got some answers about the strange dreams that had been plaguing him.Complete
