The War Within Itself

This is my first kinda successful short story, it's not that good but I may do a second version that is longer and a more improved ending, but for right now this is what I have. It has some romance in it, but I'm a crummy writer when it comes to romance (or any story) so I'm sorry if it isn't that good. But anyway I hope you like it!

The day that it happened it was a bright and sunny day. I had no idea what I was about to be asked. My name is Maddie Higgins, and I'm a maid for the governor of Louisiana. The date is May 15, 1862, in America. Just last year President Abraham Lincoln announced the war against slavery. It's a war within itself, brother and brother are fighting against each other and not having a regret of killing the other. In Louisiana it seems like everyone is for slavery, not even my own family is against slavery. I'm secretly against it. My belief started when I saw a mother being dragged from her newborn. It's just not right to have a mother separated from her baby. This is my account of my part in the war within itself.

Happily Ever After...Not
(if you haven't read The Girl With Two Mates, then don't start reading this. Please read that one first because this is the sequel) I'm no longer Sophia Radford. I am Sophia Devine and I'm happily married to my mate Jackson Devine. Who would guess that I am a luna now. I mean seriously! Me? Luna? Nobody would ever thought that was possible but here I am. A luna and the moon goddess, such big responsibility. Emma is finally talking to me because she found her mate. You guessed it, Aiden is her mate. I felt bad for Aiden because I broke his heart. Emma is perfect for him. They met at my wedding. Kayla is like my sister. The whole pack has accepted her. Even though she may still be mourning Liam's death, she accepts the fact that Liam was protecting her. I still see her look at his pictures that I gave her, she starts crying for a while. I suspect that the mountain pack has learned to stay away. Even rouges are scared to come into our territory. So for now, we can live in peace. You might think that since I'm the moon goddess that nobody would threaten us. Well Matt told us that the faeries are getting worse, we agreed to help. Faeries aren't that bad right? This is just my story about how the faeries ruined my life.Complete
Never Forget (or something cheesy like that)
DISCONTINUED (sorry. I was really into it at first... but now I just feel like I'm forcing myself to write when I don't want to. I'm not a writer, I'm just a bored high school kid. Thank you to everyone who read and enjoyed what I wrote though, it really means a lot.) So there's this adopted 16 year old gay stereotypical Hispanic kid named Triston, his adopted family sucks ass except for his older adopted brother Jake. (from state farm. jk. sorry) Jake's a cool dude. Anyway, so like, a new kid comes to school, he's like hot and shit and everyone loves him. (cause he's hot and shit) His name's Brandon he's 17. He's nice to everyone but like doesn't really date or flirt or whatever. (not even with Triston's hot and popular bitchy "sister"! *dramatic gasp*) Triston doesn't think Brandon's gay, but he might be? idk? So, I'll get to the point now, Triston and Brandon have all they're classes together and coincidentally ("coincidence") end up sitting next to each other in all of them so they like bond or whatever. Will this spring up romance?? (Fuck it, we all know it will, or else why did I even bother to write this gay shit? they fall in love happily ever after. the end. yay!)Complete
She's A Fighter

Well, not me. I've been living in a building with a bunch of other girls who I'm sure were kidnapped just like I was except we weren't used for sex and drugs.

Meeting Darth Vader :)
Hi guys! So I have found one of the short stories I have written when I was in college and I wanted it to share to all of you tehehehe. Well the story I have wrote is a little bit fast phase well actually extremely fast phase (like 7 pages on word)so I tried to make it a little bit longer like 20 pages since this story was not well written when I was 17 or something, I tried changing some names (well actually all names) added some lines that might be useful for me and maybe for you for some positive energy. I'm sharing this to you because my "unnie" and I had some conversation about life and I couldn't help but to laugh seeing the story I have written this past few years. It's so us, but in a different way and the characters that I have written was somehow based to that person I admire and idolize. Anyhoo! I hope you guys would like it!Complete
Timeless Hearts
I never wanted this marriage. Being forced to marry him-my greatest enemy-felt like a cruel joke. But our families had been close for generations, and I had no choice. Javier, however, embraced it. He wanted this marriage, not out of love, but out of desire. I despised him for it. But as time passed, everything changed. Our fights turned into stolen glances, and hatred into something far more dangerous. On our wedding day, we could no longer deny it-we had fallen in love. Yet love was only the beginning. What followed was an adventure neither of us expected, full of secrets, betrayals, and a truth that could tear us apart. Because in a world where loyalty is everything, choosing us might mean losing everything else. This is my first story entirely in English. English is not my native language so I apologize in advance if there are any mistakes.Complete

Indecorous
(18+ EXPLICIT CONTENT) "Attract a lot of attention, huh beautiful?" His voice hit me like a wall, absurdly catching me off guard. It was deep, sensual, something any girl (or boy) could melt over. I was sort of speechless, yet trying my best to appear unafflicted. "Only the wrong ones." That was definitely drunken me talking, as I didn't usually have that much confidence. His lips twitched up into a smirk, expressing that he understood my comment. "Does that mean that I'm in that category?" My palms began to grow sweaty and my heart rate picked up, but otherwise my body remained relaxed, appearing completely fine. It similar to when you're on autopilot, completely withdrawn due to intoxication. "I suppose not," I crossed my arms, putting on this seductive persona just for him. This fueled his smirk, about to murmur another comment before I cut him off. "You'll have to show me, though." *** Amelia Hollis was a 23-year-old writer at one of the local publishing companies, assisting a very handsome man and writing articles left and right. Her and her best friend, Aviary, lived together in a cute little apartment off the central part of the city, yearning to create new memories and important moments. Amelia always lived for the moments, taking in every little detail and savoring it like it was her favorite meal. She was an optimist, hoping to change peoples lives with her dreams. James Vallette was a 34-year-old CEO, building his company from dirt with the help of his brother. He was a realist, not really having time to deal with dreams or even love. He knew this the night he laid eyes on Amelia. It was only casual; what harm could a one-night stand do? Oh yeah, he's her dad's boss.Complete
Color Blind
This is my first story on here and I know it sounds confusing so i'm willing to answer any and all questions. This is a fictional story about slavery times and I will be very candid and be as honest as I can with what I know about this time in history. There is rape, beatings, love, tragedy and a few sex scenes. So read at your own risk.Complete
