BEFORE READING:
This is a very rough, rough draft of the overall book idea. I wanted to be able to put down the thought and storyline in the best of my ability in the moment. Once completed, I will go back through and edit (probably multiple times) before saying it is "complete". Please stick with me and leave feedback. Chaos. That's the only way to describe the room. The sounds of gunshots still rang in the air, freezing me to the spot I stood. People around me were running but they seemed like they were all moving in slow motion.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I felt something trying to crawl out of my throat. Vomit maybe? A scream? I coughed and felt the copper metalic taste of blood mix with the saliva of my mouth. I felt my stomach and was welcomed with wet warmth. Raising my shaky hand, I saw my hand covered in red, reminding me of the times I'd paint it just to see how it'd look the color of a rose. But the rosebuds of my body had melted, seeping out of the hole that rested above my belly button.
I raised my eyes and met those of his. My vision started to blur as I watched him running towards me. 'Why was he running so slow?' I thought to myself. My legs buckled under me and I fell into a world of darkness..
The ending was always in sight, but I chose to ignore it. Maybe we all did, wanting to enjoy the moment and live rather than think about what the consequences would be of our actions... I guess it's true what they say; there's a price to pay with everything, and I was the one to pay for it.

The high, unlike anything I've ever felt. Our tongues dancing passionately in rhythm with each other. His finger twisting in my hair pulling, teasing me, the prickling pain part of the high. Our bodies pushing and pulling together like magnets. I rake my finger nails up his back, an animal like sound rough and primal slips from his mouth. I'm naked, sprawled across his bed. Already two orgasms in. He tells me he likes the way my body trembles beneath him. "I'm going to wreck you now Ambrosia." His voice is rough. My inner muscles clench painfully at his words. He spreads me open and slams into me. I moan into the mattress my hands stretched above me; he holds them together as he makes good on his promise. His movements slowly becoming harder, faster, he bites down on my shoulder, the pain quickly forgotten as his lips kiss a trail to my neck, he reaches under me and pinches my swollen clit. His hand fists my hair forcing my head up. "Follow me." His voice is like honey. My body obeys clenching his shaft tight. "That's it."

War of Praisers
Nothing left my mouth as I stared at him in shock. He truly believed that I was part of this. The man, who I had lived with and served for months. The man who I had protected with my life and soul. I stood still while, as he backed away from me quickly. "I trusted you with my life." His cry pierced around the empty room. He looked so destroyed and hurt, but mostly his face portrayed rage and determation. "And I protected you with mine." I spoke back loudly. I didn't hear myself say it but I knew I did. I look into his eyes even from our distance they seemed to wallow me in darkness. "I gave you mine." My voice was quiet and cracked. His face changed only for a second before his old one took over again. He doesn't believe me. It doesn't matter what I say or do he won't listen. He will still believe I am the bad guy. Just as Kane said, we will never be equals, we will never be fellow humans. We will always be monsters to them. "Yakov, I am not the bad guy." I plead one last time. His Russian accent comes out harsh with his next words. "Your right," he pauses, "you are the villain." I stumble back as if I had just been stabbed in the chest. It was a horrible feeling. It was never good with the emotions and yet I recognize the feeling as heart beak. I barely breathe in air as I regain my posture. A battle cry from somewhere distracts me momentarily. I suddenly remember Ewan. I glare at Yakov one more time before I take off after the cries of battle. Jade believes she started the war among the human and her kind. Nothing is as it was portrayed. The lies and the truth are hidden among each other. There is is no clear good and evil. How can there be if one does not know what is right and what is wrong. She was prepared to see death, prepared to inflict death upon others without mercy or remose. She was prepared to do her job which the Facility had given her. But now it doesn't seem so simple anymore. Instead she focuses on keeping her friends alive.Complete

Drunk And Doughnuts
"I don't think you know who you're fucking with." He said simply not dropping the gun as the veins stuck out from below the skin of his bare arm. "I've killed people before." He laughed under his breath "I've killed lots of people before, what makes you think that I wouldn't kill you right now." "I think that if you actually wanted me dead, you would have killed me a long time ago." I replied without thinking. "You don't scare me." I lied "I know guys like you, they pretend to be all tough but deep down they're actually soft and mushy, like a little marshmallow" my words came out like vomit. What am I saying, he has a gun he could kill me, I really shouldn't be testing him but I couldn't help myself, I always knew my smart ass mouth would get me killed one day. God, today is that day. "I know girls like you." He started as he completely brushed off my insult "They get drunk at parties, and listen to the lies some fuck boy tells just to get pussy, you girls then believe those lies and jump on top of his dick like it the only one in the world, said fuck boy then pulls up his zipper and goes out to find Amanda the girl he's in love with, leaving you to wonder the streets drunk and used until you find yourself in a doughnut shop alone, incapable of standing on your own two feet." He half smiled "So what did he tell you? Lemme guess, he loved you, Right? That's the famous one." He shrugged, still holding the gun. My heart filled with hurt as I stood before him, I felt a lump in my throat as tears began to glisten up my bright hazel eyes but I quickly pushed it down. I was hurt by his words not because it was entirely true but because parts of it were. ****** •Language.Complete
The Middle - Volume Two ✔️
#3 - Shocks 27/9/19 "Don't hold back." I whisper, and he brings his face up to look into my eyes. He looks conflicted, but the lust raging inside of him is enough to override the conflict. And in a split second, he snaps his hips forward and I feel my mouth fly open of its own accord. The air leaves my lungs, but I don't care. All I can feel is him, and it's all I want to feel. I tense, adjusting to the sudden feeling of fullness he's given me, and he pauses. He's completely bottomed out inside of me, but he isn't moving. "Fuck, Jamie. I don't wanna hurt you." He groans into my neck, and in response, I snap my own hips up into him, desperately trying to feel what he made me feel the last time we were in a situation like this. "I'm fine. Make me cum." I breathe, and it's enough. My words have the desired effect. He pulls back, before slamming himself back into me. It's hard, and it's fast, and it's exactly what I want. I feel myself clench around him on reflex as my body reacts to what he's doing to me. He groans from the sensation. "I won't last long if you keep that up." He says, before burying himself into me even harder still. "Either will I!" I yell as he continues fucking me. Hot, hard, wet and fast. The best sex I have ever participated in, no question. He slides his hands down so that he's gripping onto my butt cheeks, before elevating me slightly, creating an almost perfect angle while he pumps into me. Jesus! I never knew sex could be this good. I moan and curse and scream his name shamelessly, feeling the build growing stronger and stronger by the second. I'm gonna shatter. Fuck, I'm about to cum... *** The night of the NBU Halloween Dance was very dramatic for Jamie Hawkins, Noah Adams and all their friends... What will happen the morning after? The Middle Volume Two picks up where Volume One left off. Read my story "The Middle" before reading this one, or it will make absolutely zero eff-ing sense.

WARHAVEN
His irises swirled slowly, an enticing pale silver against his stark black lashes. They illuminated slightly, so quick it was gone in a blink. He broke our eye contact, lifting his head straight. A darkly amused expression appeared. It happened so quickly it seemed like a mask appeared. I blinked myself out of my trance, and turned on my heel to see what was at the receiving end of his humor. Augustus stood there. His face contorted into anger as he took in my ruined dress. His hands shook in his fury. "Roman." Augustus nearly snarled the name. "Have you come to join us, little King? The party was just getting started." So his name was Roman, some big secret. I rolled my eyes at the reveal as well as his taunting sentence. "Davina, what is going on here?" Augustus asked, his eyes full of betrayal. I had never seen him so guarded. I could feel his anger through my bones. His words were careful. What was he talking about? My brows furrowed at the insinuation, "What?" A line of smoke floated around my right shoulder and come between Augustus and I. How convenient. I had the desire to swipe it away but didn't. "What can I say, she...seduced me." Roman purred. His voice was a sensual whisper in my left ear. I subconsciously lifted my shoulder and backed away from it. Not only because he had lost his fucking mind, but also because it shot down my spine, caressing my skin. ** This book contains mature content.

Started A New After •Sans X Reader•
Sequel to "Start A New Again •Sans X Reader•" -- Pain. Pain was all you felt right now. It was coursing through your body, every waking second was that feeling you get after being harmed physically, or even emotionally. Pain. That's the feeling. You can't call for help, or shout because of your pain-filled body. It left you mute. What had happened before? You tried to remember. But all you could remember were blurry images of the past. Voices speaking intelligible words. Colors of black, blue, white and teal flashing through your mind. You could only remember one thing clearly, and that was pain. Hell, you didn't even remember your own name. You opened your bloodshot eyes to a bright light. A few pillars here and there, stalagmites hanging dangerously from the endless 'ceiling' above. This place is so familiar, you dont know why. It sends a chill down your spine as you think about what comes next. You sit up. You feel the soft embrace of the buttercups beneath your cold hands. It was strange, though. You had a thick, fluffy sweater on with matching fluffy PJ's but you were still freezing cold. You decided to explore. There was a hallway in the distance. You walked towards it, a door is seen clearer at the end of the hallway. You walk faster. You reach the 10-foot tall doorway. All you see inside is darkness, but you go in anyway. -- Alright, that's the first of my sequel! I changed my writing style a bit, more detailing and stuff. The person in your head narrating your every move? It's none other than Chara, but she aint evil here. I saw Jugement Boy's video. It opened my eyes. Before you read this though, you SHOULD read the first one, "Start A New Again" or you'll (geeeeeeettt dunked on) be pretty confused on who are some of my OCs here. Like the last book, my cover art :) (it's basically the same one but the cover title was changed a bit) Ok, peace awtt Start: December 19, 2016 End: February 14, 2017Complete
Reject (mxm)
Paranormal Romance (Werewolf) You know that movie Jerry Maguire? It's about this sports agent who got fired for suddenly having a conscience. Anyway, there's this very romantic scene by the end of the movie when Jerry made this very heartfelt and passionate declaration to his wife. Those words would melt you into a puddle and make you burst into tears thinking, "I want to have that kind of love!" Well that very sweet scene did not happen on this story, not all of it anyway. Don't get me wrong it was heart wrenching, very much so, and there was a passionate declaration. But instead of saying the oh so loving, oh so sweet and oh so scripted "I love you. You complete me..." like Jerry did in the movie, my 'mate', the other half of my soul and the one who 'completes' me said, "I hate you. I wish you were dead!" He said it with disgust and anger burning in his eyes. He didn't run into my arms like he was supposed to, he ran away from it. But who could blame him? Jerry Maguire was right. We live in a cynical world and we work on a business of tough competitors. Why would my mate want to be with me? He'd be shunned and be forever laughed at. Aside from the fact that I was male, I'm basically useless to him because I'm a werewolf who can't phase. He's an alpha. He could have anyone he wants. And me, well, I'm on the bottom of the pack, the runt of the litter. The council didn't know what to do with me. They couldn't kill me since it could drive my mate insane, even if he didn't want me. I can't kill myself because it would probably have the same effect on him. I have to live but I can't be with my mate and my pack. So I made it easier for everyone, I ran away. I always believed in the saying "Out of sight, out of mind." What I didn't consider was the possibility that they'd come after me and forcefully bring me back.Complete
