It's getting worse. Not now. Why now? It's been dormant for weeks! Naomi thought, squeezing her hand repeatedly into a fist to try to suppress the faint tingling in the tips of her fingers. It was in vain, just as she knew it would be. Once the tingling started it wouldn't stop until the Shift was complete. Please stop, she thought helplessly. Not now, not today!

She rounded the last corner and saw her house at the end of the street. The driveway was empty, which meant Naomi's father was still at work, as she knew he would be. The lawn was in desperate need of trimming, and Naomi nearly tripped over one of the garden gnomes decorating the yard that the long grass obscured from her view. The bronze numbers on the front blue door were fading and needed a polish, but Naomi paid them no mind. She dug her key out of her pocket, inserted it into the knob, and slammed the door safely shut behind her, panting like a dog. She barely had time to celebrate that she had made it home in time before the last bits of her feet were swallowed in the tingling feeling and the Shift began.

ENCHANTRESS | Harry Potter by -hellsqueen

Enchantress ~ a woman who uses magic to put someone under a spell / a woman who is captivatingly attractive The line between a curse and a gift is a thin one, barely noticeable. One treads carefully in their every day life, living moment by moment in harmony using their gift as they wish. Until that thin line is passed. And suddenly they are unsure whether their choices depict who they truly are. Kim Bada was living with her parents and her twin sister in Busan until she could no longer stay there, a mistake she wasn't certain she was to blame for-but if not her, then who could the blame fall on-forcing her to relocate to London, to start a new life. But the ghosts of the past are always carried in the heart of the tormented, always around. And in her case, they follow her in physical form, determined to take revenge for all she's made them go through. Bada has no choice but to face the enemies she created herself head on. NOTE: The universe belongs to JK Rowling, along with the known characters mentioned in the book. The plot and the characters you don't recognize in the books are mine.

Light Eternal by Caeweth92

The realm of the fairy's, a world alien to mortals, filled with beings of legends and folklore. It is a land only a hairs breadth away from earth, yet completely unreachable. It is a word of strange and seemingly inconsistent rules, governed by magic and its unpredictable nature. Fairies of all types reside in this world, each specializing in different magic, ranging from the most basic elemental magic, to shape shifting, and even traveling between worlds. Within this world is a forest so deep and dark, it is named Forest of the Eternal Night. It is home to dangerous beasts and monsters of myth, yet within the deepest darkest reaches live the beautiful Night Fae: Talented tailors, dream weavers, and master artisans. Each bears a different color moonstone embedded in their chest, which supplies their powerful magic. Along side each Night Fae exists a spider familiar, a creature whom converts dream energy into the finest silk imaginable. They lead extremely private lives, but one day a young woman dares to leave the confines of her forest home to see the world beyond. What will await her?

Daughter of the Nibrue House by JacquelynnIsaacson

Naomi looked over her shoulder as she ran through the graveyard. The skeleton man was chasing her and gaining. She held on to the one shread of proof she had. She had to get to her grandmother. Her foot cought on a root and she tumbled to the ground. The broken armband flew out of her hand. Naomi watched horrorified as it dropped into the nearby pond. "No!" She shouted. Something cold grabbed her arm. She looked over her shoulder. The skeleton man had her. She started to scream, then she saw the skeleton man's face. "Grandfather?"

The Wizards' War The Chronicles of the Midlands Book Two by CathiAllen

The wizards believe that the Wizard's Misery is no more and Aryganazhan has married Maledictor and now the wizards are at war. Strange doorways have begun opening through out the Midlands and bizarre creatures are emerging forever changing the kingdom. Can Celine close the doorways and stop the creatures from entering? Can she neutralize the wizards before any more damage is done? Travel through out the kingdom with Celine and her allies as they try to stop the war while a new enemy arises, threatening to enslave all of humanity that dwells within the Midlands. Sneak peak: Suddenly a very small, strange creature that looked like a miniature woman with wings darted in front of Celine's face, then flew over to Brandon and followed along beside him for a moment before speeding back into the Royal Pine Forest as he reined in his horse. "What in the Midlands was that?" Brandon asked in shock. "I don't know," Celine answered concerned. "Something very strange is going on. I feel like I need to go into the woods! There's something I need to do in the woods!" she said as she rode over to the side of the road and dismounted, running into the Royal Pine Forest as Brandon called after her to wait. He quickly dismounted and swiftly lead his horse over to Celine's, taking its reins and tying both horses to a tree before going after her. "Celine! Wait!" he called after her as he realized that he could hear a very low humming noise coming from within the woods. "Maybe she's following the noise," he thought as he began to follow it to find where it was coming from and hopefully locate Celine. He pushed through the underbrush as the sound became louder and then he saw Celine standing in front of a whirling, shimmering vortex which was floating about four feet above the forest floor. There was a myriad of different types of strange looking creatures coming out of it and Brandon stood there in disbelief at what he was seeing.
