The Story of Midnight
"Who's out there?" One of the men yelled. Of course only silence met them. I remained quiet and waited for the group to start moving again. "Maybe it was just an animal." Someone whispered. The person, who I assumed was the captain of the small squad, signaled for them to walk again. They clearly showed fear as they kept going; brandishing their weapons to guard themselves with. "Two are holding lanterns. I'll tell you when you're too close to them." I heard my friend whisper in my ear. I followed the men as I picked up another branch and waited for the right time to break it. They continued to walk through the forest, turning their heads in every direction as if an animal might lunge at them and rip their throats out. I guess in a way I was going to do that. "Go back a few feet." My friend whispered. I carefully distanced myself from the group and waited. "Where is she?" I quickly snapped the stick as soon as he finished asking the question. They stopped and two soldiers raised their lanterns to shine its light in the darkness. I quickly hid behind a tree before both of them turned where I was. A low frustrated growl came from one of the men, "The girl's playing with us. She's out here following our every move." How paranoia can cloud the mind. At nine years old, Silver decided to leave her village for the forest. Since then, she's been hunted; everyday is a fight for her life, every breath she takes could be her last, but she's determined to stay alive. Her life isn't the kind anyone would want to live but she's managed to survive this long so, what's a few more years?Complete

Eminence {Book 1 ✔️}
''Don't you remember, little flower?'' he asked, his voice low and melodic, ''Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown.'' ''Perhaps,'' I whispered, ''But Shakespeare was referring to a man...'' He cocked his head in confusion, his eyes growing darker. I leaned forward on the throne and brought my eyes up to meet his in an obvious challenge. ''Not a Queen.'' ~~~~~~ There's a whole side to Mara Monroe that's keeping her from what she was born to do. Coincidentally, it's her human side. Mara's always known that she couldn't choose what family she was born into. Even if it comes with a crown she doesn't want, age-old rivalries she doesn't understand, and a bodyguard she can't seem to shake. There are those that would die before seeing Mara on the throne. Or worse. Kill. *completed Book One*Complete![The Kanej Story [COMPLETED]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/159599157-256-k48364.jpg)
The Kanej Story [COMPLETED]
Please don't judge this too harshly I wrote most of this when I was 15. Based off of the Duology 'Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo'. A Kanej story. Some profanity. (Possibly a lot) Basically Kaz loses his gloves and Inej looks for them. Then they get in a fight and she leaves. How does Kaz deal with it?.....not well. __________________________________________ I have atrocious grammar and Spelling. And I do not know why but I just capitalize stuff that doesn't need to be. So beware. Highest ranking: #1 in kanej #1 in jesperfahey #1 in inejghafaComplete
Nox Inferno
Owls are restless creatures, the same could be said with Twyla Chantelle. She hated being in her normal, stuck in a boring small town where the only adventures are the one in her dreams. All she wants was something to do, and nope be lost in the crowd. Well, she got exactly what she wanted when Ravenwood, a prestigious school of mystery and accept her. If things weren't weird enough, she finds out she isn't exactly human and she has to protect those like her with a group of students known as the Nox Knights. She was assigned by Satan to do one thing, protect these demons from the angels who only view them as stains and don't die. Easy enough but add high school drama and self discovery. Her life changed from the most boring to the most unusual in one fell swoop.Complete
The Crown Prince {The Unholy Trinity: Book II}
Waking up in my eight-year-old body is... bizarre. To say the least. I lie there for a second, my heart hammering in my chest, feeling like I've been crammed into a too-small suit. It's not just the size of the bed, though that's throwing me off too. The sheets feel too big, the pillows too high. It's me. I'm smaller. Weaker. And-ugh-there's that nagging sensation of being powerless that comes with it. The urge to flip out is immediate, but I force myself to stay calm. Breathe. I've been through worse. It takes a moment, but the memories come flooding back. The ritual. Raven, Constantine, the plan-trapping our consciousness into our younger selves, sending us hurtling back through time to fix everything we screwed up. Guess it worked.Complete
