Mari always thought she was a normal type of girl:
The one who never got asked out, the one who constantly looked like she just woke up, and the one who was in love with her best friend.
During her father's funeral in England when she was five, Mari saw something no one else could see. A big, black dog with bright yellow eyes.
It turns out that there is a connection between the two, and her life spirals down as her eighteenth birthday grows closer and closer.
====================================================================
Sneak Peak!
Mari kept her purse close. She had her earphones in and listened to the screams and cries of the men in her phone as she nodded her head to the beat. The city that she lived in wasn't the safest, but it also wasn't the worst. She continued to shift her eyes, waiting for a hooded man to charge at her.
Once she got to the neighborhood, she started to notice something strange. The lights above her that lit the roads were starting to burn out. Not consecutively, but randomly. She paused and looked around, wondering if it was some weird outage.
Mari continued walking, ignoring the lights, but once it started to get much darker, she started to worry. The only lights that she could clearly see were the ones coming from the inside of some houses.
The lights were turning off faster and faster and almost violently. Some of the bulbs exploded, causing the young woman to jump and wildly look around.
Finally, all the lights were out. All but one.
The lamp post in front of Mari was the one left standing, and the light it emitted created a little spotlight on the road.
A pair of yellow eyes appeared in the darkness, and it was coming much closer. Mari stepped back, unsure of what to make of the eyes. Was it a cat? Was it a freak wearing bright yellow contacts?
It was a black dog, and a big one at that.

The Corner Store
I fell for a boy with the kindest blue eyes, and a charming dimple. He made me feel loved, and cared for, and most importantly he made me feel safe in his presence. He came right in the middle of a tornadoe and managed to turn it into blue skies. He changed my perspective and gave me hope and strength." I looked at him, and he was smiling, and his eyes were a little glossy. He took my hand and kissed it, a small tear caught in the corner of his beautiful eyes. "I thought, hey, maybe life isn't so bad after all. Maybe I can finally allow myself to love and be loved, and to live life normally. When we went to your party, you told me to wait for you. But then your perverted cousin made me feel super uncomfortable, so I went looking for you, just to be able to feel at peace again. And that's when I saw it." My heart beats skyrocketed, because this was the moment everything changed forever. "Saw what?" Asked Axel. I took a deep breath, and continued.

Forget Me Not ( Daniela Avanzini x femreader)
Y/N grew up in a world where money was never scarce but affection always was. A college student from an average but comfortable family, she lives alone, her parents' support measured in bank transfers rather than warmth. Surrounded by books and routines, she carries herself like someone present in body but absent in spirit, never really knowing what it feels like to be truly seen. Then one night, in a small café lit by amber lamps and the hum of chatter, she notices her. Daniela Avanzini-dark brown hair tied back, hazel eyes bright even under exhaustion, a barista with a smile that somehow reaches further than the walls of the shop. Daniela's world is the opposite of Y/N's, money tight, responsibilities endless, but love abundant, her family's unwavering support stitched into every sacrifice she makes. Neither of them speak at first, but something lingers in the air between them. A glance too long, a smile too soft, the unshakable sense of déjà vu. Like they already knew each other in another life. As their paths intertwine. Quiet orders at the counter turning into conversations, then something deeper-they begin to discover the kind of happiness and warmth they both craved but never thought they'd find. But when Daniela's future is threatened by financial struggles that could send her back to her home country, they're forced to face the hardest question of all: Can love survive distance, or are some things never meant to last?

She has no idea what is happening to her as she tries to convince herself she's either going crazy or that these new abilities of super strength, sense, and controlling the elements are just unusual signs of puberty. Things start to get even more crazy when Adam Keller, an incredibly attractive new boy, tries to tell her she is the heir to the most powerful line of witches and that it's his job to train her to use her powers. Marie somehow finds herself in the middle of a love triangle and is forced to face conflicts that make her whole world shatter.
