You Owe Me (Little Mix Fanfiction)
I woke up with a pounding in my head. For a moment I panicked, not knowing where I was. I was home. How did I get here? I couldn't remember anything from last night. I looked to my right, and there, beside me, was my fiancé, Zayn. I glanced to my left and silently screamed. There was a jar, a jar with my hair and drops of blood. I suddenly felt a searing pain on my left wrist so I looked down and saw a shallow yet long scratch down the length of my arm. Reeling back in shock, my hand landed on a note. Unfolding the blood-smudged paper, I read the words imprinted there. "You owe me." _____ After waking up one morning to not remembering anything and finding a note, Perrie was thrown into a whirlwind of chaos and drama. Her life was turned upside down after three words were written to her. 'You Owe Me.' The three words that changed Perrie Edwards' life.Complete
My Prince Charming
"I can't be with you." I won't let them take the one good thing in my life. "Yes, you can Davis." Just one touch from him and he is the calm to my storm. I can be anyone with him, but that's not my reality. We've already been careless, and they could find out, hurt him, eventually kill him. I won't let that happen. "You don't understand." It's getting harder to shut down my feelings the more I'm around you and they will know somethings changed. "Then make me understand, damn it!" The anger in his tone hurts, but I'm doing this to him...to us. "I'm sorry. I'm so sorry." I'm not good for you. I'm not good for anyone. I have to go before I can't walk away, and I need to walk away. "If something is wrong then tell me. We'll fix this." It can't be fixed. I can't be fixed! You can't fix what's completely broken. "Goodbye Liam." "No!" His lips land on mine and I wish that could fix everything, but I kiss him back with all I can for one last time. When I pull away, I run out without looking back. It's for the best. I'll do anything to keep him safe even if it kills me. Sold into the world of child traffickers at a young age, Davis doesn't know any other type of life. Hell, he doesn't even remember his real name. Doing what his owners order him to do or pay the consequences. That is until he meets Liam Freeman. A handsome Australian who he just stumbled upon in a bar. One meeting with him and Davis wants more...a real chance at life. Will he ever be able to get away from the life he's only ever known?

A Country Divided : Through Blood United
On a warm morning in the 1850's, Evangeline relaxes in her massive Missourian estate without a worry in the world. Evangeline's day collapses as her twin brother and father burst into the living room, chasing after the "family friend" because she did not fulfill her morning jobs, revealing the friend's true role in the house: a slave; brought into the Freebourne's family estate as their property. The event forever altered Evangeline's view on both the idea of slavery and her family, provoking her to run away with Jewel, and instead of the warm feeling of compassion toward her father and brother, a newer, colder perception emerged: hate. Although she still deeply cared for her flesh and blood, her feelings competed as she abhorred her family's principles. Her hate for her brother's Confederate opinions and her will to fight for freedom for all could drive her to take the lives of those opposed to her -including her twin brother- but does that really make Evangeline a killer? [NOT ENTIRELY ACCURATE, MADE TO FIT THE PLOT, it's called Historical Fiction for a reason] [sorry that the cover looks so photoshopped lol] [STORY CREATED ON MARCH 30, 2017]Complete

The Pariah Storm
In the east of a world fragmented by war, two soldiers, Jinn and Rikark, fight with courage and determination, but their true battle is not only against the enemies of their nation, but also for a deeper cause: equality in a country marked by oppression. Rikark, more pragmatic than his father (the leader of the revolution) but equally idealistic, knows that the struggle will be long and full of sacrifices. Together, they fight to tear down the power structures that oppress the weaker. To the north, Yvahna, heir to a decaying Empire, renounces her crown, and in her eyes reflects the sadness of an impossible love, one that transcends the boundaries of her social position. She knows that the love she feels cannot be accepted. In her personal struggle, she faces not only the betrayal of her own feelings, but also the internal conflict between her duty to the royal family and the desire to find a life outside the chains that bind her. In the West, Kranis faces an even deeper conflict: the rejection and condemnation of his own father. Raised in the rigid tradition of his family, Kranis always dreamed of a different world, one in which his identity would be accepted without the shadow of paternal disapproval. His struggle is not only for his place in the war, but for finding his true essence and forging a bond with someone who sees him for what he truly is, not as the son of a feared and powerful leader. This is a world destined for war, but not just a war of blood. It is an internal war, of emotions and unfulfilled desires, of hidden identities and struggles for truth. In every corner of the continent, people face their own personal battles, while the fate of all seems intertwined in a spiral of conflicts that could consume them all. The path to equality, love, and acceptance is long and full of sacrifices, but Jinn, Rikark, Yvahna, and Kranis are not willing to give up.
