Kidnapped by Vampires 🎈
"W-who are you? W-why am I here?" I struggled against the ropes for dramatic effect. He leaned in towards me, now our faces several inches apart. Too close for my comfort actually, does this dude ever heard of personal space? "I am Finn Von Dracula, the vampire, and I just kidnapped you." He flashed me his white, shiny fangs to prove his claim. "Lol." Vampires are immortal creatures, once a human who got turned when a vampire bit them. When they live on Earth for too long, they tend to get bored. And look for something to keep them entertained: a pet. There are two types of people in the world: The sane and the crazy. Gwen Masters is definitely the crazy type. Loud, crazy and weird. What happens when she got kidnapped by two vampires? Crazy + Stick in the ass vampires + Vampire puns With such a weird combination, how will it turn out? Read to find out :) Warning *this book isnt about those domineering vampires/submissive human pets* *the grammar is probably so terrible grammar nazis will have nightmares for years* *full of crap jokes*Complete
Shadow Witch
Aviana, born into a world as a witch where she is not seen very highly by the other species. Vampires use them for their magic, but Aviana is not all witch, and the vampire lord may be getting a bit more than what he asked for. "A witch, a human, and a vampire walk into a bar." My hands tightened around the glass in my hands. I have heard this joke too many times, and am not a big fan of the punch line. As a witch, you're not looked up to very much, more as a dog for the vampire creatures. Humans always say that there more useful because they need their blood making them safe, fucking blood bags.Complete

Cassie may need a prayer. "Um what are you doing." Elliot asked worriedly. My face went back to normal and I rolled my eyes. A sarcastic laughed came out of my mouth. This piece of shit I swear I want to beat him up now. "Oh I wasn't suppose to cry maybe I should go on my knees and beg for you to accept me being your mate. Ok then, hold up." I said I got on my knees and held my hand together. "Y-You don't need to do that." Elliot stuttered. Oh yes, I definitely want to do this for sure. **Slow editing**Complete

Must Haunt The Playboy [Editing]
'Idiot.' 'Douche bag.' 'Dumbass.' 'Jer---' 'WILL YOU STOP HOVERING!' His grating voice snapped me out of my rant. I glanced behind me, looking for the unfortunate person the idiot was yelling at. There was no one else in the room. I closed my eyes and rubbed them furiously. There was still no one else in the room. My eyes widened slightly as I looked at him, realization dawning on me. 'You can see me!' I gasped. It wasn't a question. It was statement of disbelief but that didn't stop the idiot from replying. 'No, I'm talking to the other stalker ghost behind you.' He muttered sarcastically. 'You can see me!' I screamed in amazement, too distracted to realize he insulted me. 'Sweet heavens! He can see me!' 'I think we've already established that baby doll.' He rolled his eyes. His condescending tone coupled with the patronizing look that had "you are crazy" written all over it was enough to snap me out of the temporary state of euphoria. __________________ Four little words. Very simple words that changed my existence and gave me hope for the first time in over two hundred years. Someone could see me. He could see me! Now I just have to figure out a way to convince the biggest jerk I know to help me lift a two hundred year old curse. Piece of cake.Complete
