"YOU FOOLISH GIRL, NOT EVEN YOUR STORIES CAN SAVE YOUR BEAUTIFUL THROAT."



Khai killed 1000 girls before he got to her. And he would make sure she would die like the others. His beautiful hands demand blood on them.

Mazeeda would make sure that she'll be the last girl Khai would ever kill. Her beautiful neck will not be touched by a blood-coated blade. She will take her friends place.

If Mazeeda cannot save her own life with trained hands, she will do it with her quick mind and sly mouth. During the night, she weaves stories never told before to Khai; in the morning, she roams the palace to escape. With each tale she tells, the more she realizes these aren't just stories; but something much greater.

Something that Khai is keeping from her, things he does not want to be let out.

Somewhere a 1000 miles across the sand kept land, three brothers are plotting something that'll end the reign of the monster and save their sister.All Rights Reserved

Whilst there are six months avaliable with which to get to know his ten possible fiancees, Gavrila is determined spend as little time as possible away from the front lines, eager to return to the fight and win the war. Yet it seems the front lines may be harder and harder to return to, with the threat of rebellion and a much bigger fight call him to his father's side, whilst a girl who barely deserves a place in his season is tugging at the strings of his heart. For a cover like mine, please go talk to @subconscious_bitch. She made this one and that of the sequel with incredible accuracy and real professionalism. She seems like a really nice human as well :)

Unforgiven Dreams ✔️ by CrayyZedd

[COMPLETED : 5|09|2016 and slowly editing ] He snapped his fingers and a red flame flourished into existence. "How did you-" "I'm a professional." He smirked, clearly enjoying this. If I got a penny for everytime I rolled my eyes at him, I would probably be a billionaire. In a limousine. With a hot wife. And a hotter girl to cheat on her with. And that too I'm straight. He flexed his palms and the flame disappeared. "With practice, even you can control your Blue Matter." I didn't say anything, just nodded. "This Blue Matter is stronger than Red Matter. It can destroy beings. Be careful with it." "Uh, so I am a DreamMaire?" "No, Sophie, you're the Dream Maker." _______________________ Sophie Hazelwood, sixteen, just makes it in the world with her confident aura and weird humour.

But is there more to this war? Is it really just rebels? Or is all of this just petty jealousy? -------------------------------------------- "My, my. Things are getting worse, that's for sure" a red head spirit said. He simply shook his head as he watched shit go down. He watched as a red headed girl who looked like a female version of him smack an orange haired slut. "You go sis!" He said cheerfully. "Sorean! Come back here!" was the distant yells of a white haired demon. "Coming Sire!" he said. Standing up, the male gave one last look. "You better survive this, Soph, Kuu" he muttered silently as he walked away. ----------------------------------------------- Who's the enemy? -----------------------------------------------
