Complete, First published Jun 11, 2012
The pale stars were sliding into their places. The whispering of the leaves was almost hushed. All about them it was still and shadowy and sweet. It was that wonderful moment when, for lack of a visible horizon, the not yet darkened world seems infinitely greater-a moment when anything can happen, anything you believed in. It's the most frightful time of the day-or evening. It's when all the monsters come out, vampires, werewolves, ghosts, and other unnatural things. But most people don't know it, they just go about their own businesses, frolicking around-not having a care in the world. It is in these times that they start to disappear.

Distant screams, forbidding blood, creatures that lurk in the shadows. Within these shadows lies a deep legend that has been long forgotten...until now.

Scarlett and her friends have been warped back into a horrifying legend that, to only one, was believed to be a myth. Now they must face the vicious creatures that dwell deep within the old library and murderous betrayals. With the stakes now higher than ever, one must choose between insanity and death. And what the hell is up with this blood oath that Scarlett is to repay?

Their time now running out, they must survive until dawn and escape the accursed library for their own lives. But these creatures aren't going to let them easily go astray, dusk till dawn do they hunt, and they'll stop at nothing to make sure that no one sees the light of day again.

My mum always used to tell me what it's like to see your mate for the first time. She used to say that at that moment, everything around you stopped, that nothing else mattered. And nothing else would matter. If it wasn't for the little girl clinging to my leg right now. That little girl that trusts me with her life, that beautiful little girl that made me hold on and not give up on life. That little girl, whose father is standing in front of me right now. He's my mate. The edges of his lips curve and he looks up and down as if checking me out. "Long time no see." Are the words that first come out of his mouth that break the silence. ~~~~~~~~~~ Lexie is an Alpha's daughter.

She's forced to run away and leave everyone that she still has left behind. She thinks she has no one... that's until she finds out about another heartbeat in her body. Raising a baby on your own is hard enough. After a few years she finally meets her mate though and it turns out she knows him after all. How will she confess that her mate is actually her daughter's father? What will happen now? We don't live in a fairy tale where every story has a happy ending though.

In Your Dreams by Mystery245
18 parts Ongoing
One thing is certain. You can never escape it. DEATH. A five-letter word. But what if you could escape it. Well, Templar May is about to find a world where you have unlimited time. A place where your wildest dreams and biggest fears come to life. -----------_--------------- I know I am dreaming but I can not keep my eyes from the vibrant trees and amazing green that surrounds me. Heavy blankets of moss cover the trees in beautiful green layers. Clovers dominate the forest floor in thick bunched patches. My eyes gaze at the unfathomably tall pine trees that seem to touch the heavens. I know I am dreaming but I can feel the cold creep up my spine and my breath comes out in thick foggy clouds that reach for the heavens. My mind slips into a foggy haze that mirrors the fog blanketing the forest when I see it. At first, it is just a glimpse of black. Then I realize that this black is a thick mass of hair attached to a person. Whoever it is, their back is to me. From the stature and muscle tone, they appear male. Tan skin shines as a bright contrast against the various shades of green that blanket everything. A force pulls me in like a siren's call. Pinpricks manifest under my skin as a growing sense of danger fills my body. The magnetic force continues to draw me in as if I do not have any choice in the matter. Something deep inside my body, deep inside my very soul screams at me to run away and never return but, the siren's call continues. Tension tightens my muscles as an alarming desire within me registers. I want this. I do not know why but I want to know whoever this is. But as I come within yards of the stranger, my dream changes. I am outside of my body watching the color drain from my still body and blank eyes as my blood soaks the once bright green foliage on the forest floor. Editing later on
