"The video has gone around everywhere. A man. Who knows how old. His experience is obvious. But that is beside the point. He is saving lives. Killing people, yes. But he is saving other people that don't deserve to be hurt."
This is a book I have recently started writing. There isn't much to it right now but any feedback is very much appreciated! Thanks for reading :) I will do my best to update this at least once a week. Maybe more if I can.

\\THIS IS MY FIRST BOOK. I started writing it forever ago and it's sort of short. So sorry about that.// "So when can I leave," I asked. He took a big breath, "You aren't leaving." "What?" "You can't leave, Malia. You're staying here, with me." I never knew how much of an impact words could have on you, until now. I wanted out, I needed out. What is this, a dream? "This is all a dream," I said as I closed my eyes," Malia this is all a dream." But my kidnapper in front of me and the pain that was ,without a doubt, in my shoulder told me otherwise. - - Malia is a , more or less, typical high school girl. She has her crushes and her best friends. Her parents don't pay much attention to her though. What happens when someone walks into her life and flips her world upside down forever? \\ I'm not good at descriptions. I promise the book is better than the description of it.//Complete
Raine Walker
[Being Edited] "Why me?" I groan, feeling myself fall towards Scott. He wraps his arms around me, pulling me closer to him as I bury my face into his muscular chest. The constant thought of being in danger bothers the hell out of me. It's a constant feeling and I don't know how to shake it off. Is it my mind playing tricks on me? It is my imagination? "That's why you left with me. Because you feel safe?" Scott doesn't pull me back to look at him. I could feel his heartbeat racing with each word spoken. "Yeah, I guess so," I respond, pushing back to look at him myself. "You'll always be safe with me, Raine," he whispers. "I know," I give a small smile, knowing that those words were completely true. *** Raine Walker is just an average girl, hoping to get through her final year of high school. Well, that's not going to happen! She must figure out who she's become after fate throws a curve ball at her. What path must she take? What are her choices? Will she ever be the same?

Drake, a man with blazing blue eyes. Silas, a man with breathtaking green eyes. Hunter, a man with astonishing hazel eyes. All three of them, with abilities unlike no human man. What happens when Scarlett and her foster siblings are forcefully taken by them on a hijacked school bus? And when all three incredibly sexy men carry ruthless, cruel and dominating personalities? Read and find out. This is a story with countless twists and turns, but it is not a book for the faint hearted. Contains abuse, rape, foul language and more. For mature readers only. EDIT (2023) I wrote this book at the age of 13... there is A LOT of grammar mistakes and things are not well thought out... I will not be changing them. I decided to keep the book up to look at how I've improved over the years. I'm 23 now. :) Giggle with me at my mistakes. <<Part from the book>> "If only you listened to me Scarlett." Drake then punches me in the gut, it's the same place he kicked me. I cough up blood and I feel like I have to puke, but I have nothing in my stomach to throw up. He bends down so he's eye level with me, and he tilts my chin so I'm looking into his cruel eyes. "I want you to scream." He slithers.Complete

Altered
Before you read any of this, please know that I hate how I wrote this book and there's are major plot holes. I want to rewrite it but I can't find any motivation. I wouldn't suggest reading if you can't stand a couple confusing parts. Also there's supposed to be a sequel but this book was so shitty I can't stand to make one. ~~~~~~~~ "I never thought that something as simple as choosing to walk home instead of getting a ride would change my life so drastically." ------- Charisma Jones was just another kid who never spoke out. She wasn't shy, nor was she outspoken. She kept to herself. She was stepped on at school and bullied by those who thought she was "weird" or "a freak". She allowed them to do it, not wanting to draw anymore attention to herself. She was fine with her life how it was. But it all changed the night she left the party without a ride. ------- "I sped up walking when the car slowed down beside me. When it stopped fully I started panicking. I sprinted down the street enveloped in darkness. I thought I lost the creepy car when I heard a pop and felt a stab of pain in my side. Looking down I saw the bright feathers of a dart and my vision turned black." ------- She was altered. Now, she's back with a grudge to all those people who were cruel to her and this time, she not going to back down.Complete

Behind the Screen
The book follows a protagonist whose mind begins to unravel as they are plagued by eerie occurrences that blur the line between reality and delusion. It begins with subtle shifts-a feeling of being watched, strange reflections, whispers at the edges of perception-but as the story unfolds, these sensations grow more intense and impossible to ignore. The protagonist starts questioning their own sanity, struggling to differentiate between what's real and what's in their head. Is someone-or something-watching them, or are they simply losing their grip on reality? As they spiral deeper into paranoia, the boundaries of their own identity begin to fracture, and they realize they may not be the only one in control of their mind. With each passing day, the tension grows, and the truth becomes harder to discern. The story keeps readers on edge, with unreliable narration and distorted imagery that makes them question everything. As the protagonist's mental state deteriorates, the lines between the observer and the observed blur, and the final revelation leaves the reader wondering if they're trapped in this madness alongside the character. A chilling psychological thriller, this book explores the nature of reality, self-awareness, and the terrifying idea that what you think you know may be nothing more than a reflection of something far darker.Complete
Run Away

"Well, let's take a look now, shall we?" he evil-smiled. ******** Hi guys, so this is my first story here. I don't think I'm a good writer so I apologize if this story doesn't make any sense or sounds really weird. At least I tried.Complete
