	"I don't think you'll wanna do that," Adam's voice dropped a little. "It's hardly a safe journey, and I'm not sure I even have everything I need to get what I need from Veridian. I can't ask you to risk not only your life, but everyone else's here. It wouldn't be fair."

	"Nonsense, just tell us what you need and we'll be glad to help." Bell smiled to him. "What're you looking for from Veridian anyways?"

	Adam's voice dropped even more. "Well, there's whispers around the galaxy about a device in the outer rim, Veridian to be exact, that can trigger the winter pillars on its winter solstice. When activated, it's rumored to have the ability to do practically anything, even resurrect the dead."

	"And I take it there's someone you want to resurrect?"

	"Yes."All Rights Reserved

( MATURE READERS ONLY) He scoffed, "No idea what you're talking about..." I snickered and lifted my head up narrowing my eyes at him, "What do you want?" He grinned triumphantly, He was very light weight as he sat ontop of me. I restrained well though, as long as he didn't start moving a lot and sat in just one place, i was able to restrain. "I wanna give you a hickie" he said not looking at me and instead around the room. I looked at him , not expecting that. "That's what you want for your reward?" I asked surprised. He looked shocked and leaned in closer again, his head tilted as his lips weren't far from mine. "Why.. does that mean I can have something else?" he asked softly. .

My Enemy, My Professor by Jazira_Albatross17

"So what's your type?" "What do you mean?" I pause, looking up from my book to meet the eyes of my dear friend. "Type of what?" She shakes her head with a chuckle. Her head then jerks to her boyfriend, busy trying to figure out a solution in his work. "What type of guy do you like?" "I don't really have one." I reply. "Come on, there must be something a guy does that catches your attention." My eyes casually glance around the courtyard, trying to figure out a quick response to her question. But then I hear a voice speak just to the right of us, Professor Abel happily talking to Mr. Levine. "Well?" "Older." I mumble. "Someone older." "Just older?" His deep grey eyes soften slightly in the sunlight. "Someone... colder too." "So you want someone as bad as Professor Abel?" My friend jokes poking my side with her fingers. I snap my head back to her, surprised at her question. To brush off the embarrassment I shrug my shoulders, faking a smile but my heart is pounding furiously. "Haha, very funny." It's as if our conversation has been leaked when my eyes rest back on the tall individual. The grey swirls are staring right back at me, his colleague oblivious of his wandering eyes. His expression is stern but in the light it seems as though his lips are curled up, making my stomach do a flip. "My type." I whisper with a small smile.

Is there a road back to the way we were? by moshi317

Four childhood friends going through life together, helping each other learn and grow and navigate the world around them. They've always been together, so nothing could possibly tear them apart...right? **** "You won't be coming back, will you?" "I don't know," he admits, turning to her. Head lowered, Emmeryn looks at a fallen leaf on the ground behind him, smiling as her eyes become glassy. "We'll miss you. Don't forget about us." He gently cups her face, his trembling fingers tangling in her hair, and kisses her forehead. "How can I ever forget?" Her smile widening, she tries her best to hold back her tears as a small broken laugh escapes her. Onyx releases her slowly, almost reluctantly, and faces the other two. "You guys take care of yourselves. Thank you for giving me so many happy memories." Zephyr nods slowly, then after a moment of deliberation, pulls Onyx to him, wrapping his arms around him fiercely as if never wanting to let go. Fawn holds Emmeryn tightly as she breaks down, rubbing her back comfortingly, and smiles at Onyx. "Don't become lonely without us, okay? We're too cool to be replaced but find good company regardless." Onyx smiles sadly. "I'll try. I love you guys even if I won't be with you anymore." He walks away hesitantly, leaving behind his friends, his childhood, his everything. **** Hehe... Happy reading!

Universe by ZoneXS

Pushing off the sink in irritation, I turn to leave but he grabs my bare upper arm. My blood boils in annoyance while my skin tingles with excitement. He perks a brow, obviously sensing it. "Your aura is in disarray," he states bleakly. "Yeah, no shit Sherlock." My Earthly phrase earns me a tilt of his head and I scoff. "Where have you been, Beta?" "On a mission in the Xin Galaxy." "Okay? Would it not be wise to inform your OA of any missions that require your departure? Let go." I pull against his grip and he reluctantly lets go. "Yes, however, this mission did not require your presence nor your opinion," he replies candidly. My eye twitches and wordlessly, I turn away once more but his grip on my arm returns, this time more gentle, as if pleading rather than restraining. "I only meant that this mission did not require you to accompany me as my OA in pretence. It's safer to stay with your younglings out of sight anytime the role is not needed," his voice softer. "You disappeared after you..." I pause and shake my head. I feel embarrassed to say it out loud to him. I feel embarrassed at how much it affected me. "After I kissed you," he finishes for me, the silence following the words adds to the thickness growing in the air. _____ Wrongly accused of being a rebel conspiring against supernatural beings, whom she never thought existed outside of her world of anime fiction, a nightmare plagued Lyla becomes a wanted fugitive. she and her two young children are forced into hiding in a foreign yet beautiful world thousands of galaxies away from Earth to escape her death sentence.

She has dyed her wings black in order to (avoid persecution), but in a world where anything that disrupts the status quo can be punishable by death, Alex is in danger.

Even after being abandoned by parents and experiencing the grief of her friend's disappearance, she still believes that good exists. Soon, she has a chance to get revenge and finally fight for equality. But, Sara would rather stay in the shadows, unnoticed and unharmed. What will she choose? Safety or justice?

Mark holds a secret he believes will ruin him forever, but will his secret be what helps him rise? Lila Formerly called Lucas, Lila is transgender. After supposedly "betraying" Mark, Lila has shut people out of her life for fear of having to face her problems. When she encounters a problem she can not run away from, what will she do? Three of them are from one world and two are from another. When their worlds collide, will sparks fly or will their differences drive them apart?

Blood and Thunder by KyleWilliamUrban

You've just woken in the woods, away from everything you know. You're dazed and confused, unable to comprehend what's just happened. As you are coming to, images flash before your eyes of the last few days. Your parents were taken by the police, you were forced to run, to leave everything behind, to save yourself and your sister. But she isn't here. You panic and look around, you stop. You remember. She too was taken, you are alone. For now. This is what happened to Alexander, his life has just been turned upside down. The year is 2415, the world has both evolved and devolved. It isn't how people imagined. Flying cars, robots in every house, telekinetic pencils. No, they are only in comic books. Self driving cars. No robots in houses, but workhouses instead. Telekinetic pencils... that's possible, if you are gifted with the power of telekinesis. There are dark truths hidden behind closed doors, that only few know. Truths that if they got out, would bring the downfall of the government. A government that has been deceiving people for generations. But they haven't been as careful as they thought, because 100 years ago, one guy found out their secrets. 100 years ago, one guy started the rebellion that would bring about the end. From burning books, rewriting history and breaking human rights, this government will stop at nothing to make it seem that they are doing good. But people have had enough, the secret came out before. It's only a matter of time until it happens again. This time by a group of people that no one expected. Together they work to find out the truth, but things have gotten worse over the last century and this may not only bring around the downfall of the government. Armed only the powers they were born with, the group do everything they can to discover the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. But many have tried and failed, do they really stand a chance? Alexander doesn't think so, but his main concern is finding his sister, Rosia.

WHERE ARE YOU NOW, ANA? ... Please, remember who you are" I whispered, nearly begged. "I miss you." ***** Meet Claire, timid and full of life on the other side. She lost it all, her memories and name. And now meet Ana. The love in person, bringing friendship and betray, love and blindness, hate and worshipping in on person.
