Maxwell: You guys want to know our story? How strange. And here I thought... you wanted to know HOW FABULOUS I AM.

Mercury: More like how stupid you are. Why would they be interested in something as useless as that?

Maxwell: Brother, you are so mean...

Mercury: Like I care what you think. Will you tell them or should I? The people want to know what this is all about. You know what? Forget it. I will start.

Maxwell: No wait-

Mercury: So this is our story. The story of a talented boy that got mixed up in the mess his stupid brother dragged him into.

Maxwell: Wait just a minute. I nev-

Mercury: Whatever shall the young boy do? He has to help his silly excuse of a brother because he felt sorry for his  ugly face...

Maxwell: We are twins, you know? If I'm ugly, so are you.

Mercury: Oh I'm sorry, did you say something? I tend to ignore opinions that contradict mine.

Maxwell: Alright, alright... Can we both be serious? The people want to know!

Mercury: I'm not the one that started it.

Maxwell: Whatever... Where do we start?

Mercury: The beginning?

Maxwell: And would his graciousness mind enlighten us, worthless worms, on what that might be?

Mercury: Well I guess that would be the morning you started hallucinating.

Maxwell: We have been over this!Again and again! I WAS NOT. HALLUCINATING.

Mercury: I can't hear you~

Maxwell: Ugh, you are IMPOSSIBLE.

Mercury: I'm not even trying.

Maxwell: I believe you. Anyway, this story is about how we met that one lady that brought our lives upside down.

Mercury: Hey! Don't blame her.

Maxwell: Yeah, whatever. She got us mixed in a pretty messy situation with an organization that wanted to doom us all and blah blah blah. In other words, they believed the world should be flipped over to be better, something not everyone agrees with.

Mercury: You got that right. And we have to stop them but the question is how? How will two kids that live inside a crack of the London Bridge, without parents, without money stop them?All Rights Reserved

#No_Escape (Book 1) [Editing as of 10/2024] by Life_Under_The_Stars

~ Featured @StoriesUndiscovered ~ I'm gasping for air trying to breathe. Which is hard when I have Dimitri's abnormally large hand around my throat and his eyes are glowing purple and his fangs have came out. I am on the verge of fucking passing out with tears welling up in my eyes. All this happened because Aphrodite told me to come in this forbidden room to get a formal dress and whatever jewelry I shall need for the ball that is coming up. I had ran my hands over all the gorgeous gowns in this room before deciding on a red chiffon cinderella ball gown that had this gorgeous sweetheart neckline. I tried to find the jewelry she had mentioned when I spotted a small wooden jewelry box with their family crest on it. I had opened the box to find 4 rings. Two larger ones and two smaller ones. All four had their family crest on it with a ruby in the center of the rings. Dimitri had walked by the opened door and saw me looking in the box. And this is how I have ended up with his hand tight around my throat. Slam "I told you never to come in this room!" Dimitri roared. His hand is slowly tightening around my throat. It's getting harder to try to get out of his hold. "I.." He interrupted me. "You what!?" He yells. "Can't." I couldn't finish my sentence. "I can't hear you!" He growls low and dangerous. "Breathe!" I struggle to get out. Slam!! My skull echoed throughout the room for the 4th time. My head has bounced off the wall. Oxygen is slowly leaving my body and I can barely hold on. I'm going to die in his hand if he doesn't move it. My tears are now falling down my face and hitting the floor by my bare feet. "If I ever see you in here again I will..." He never got to finish his sentence because Orion has tackled his brother off me. "What the hell Dim! You could have killed her. She's fucking human you idiot, you cannot go Hulk on her. You will kill her!" Orion yells as loud as he possibly could. I swear my eardrums will pop. "..... Mate."

Inseparable by CrazySpooderMonster

If you doubt your writing skills, read this book. It'll make you feel better, trust me. I wrote this when I was in sixth grade, and now I can't even get through the first chapter without cringing. Okay, here we go: ------------- Before I tell you my story, I have something to tell you. My twin sister, Fern, and I, we are special. Not the kind of special like we are the best at an instrument or we know more facts about something than anyone else. We are so special that our connection is something that only happens every million years. we also inherited something random from our adopted mom that makes us SUPER special. To find another of us would take over a hundred-million years. You have to promise to not tell anyone though. If you do, scientists will come for us by the thousands. We would be put on public display where millions would flock around to get a mere glimpse of us and what makes us special. Scientists and genetic experts on many grounds would put us in cages. They would come and force us to be part of painful, tiring experiments. This already happened once, we don't want it to happen again. If you promise not to tell anyone, I'll tell you. Fern and I have the ability to communicate with each other and other telepathic people without moving our mouths over long distances. And... We have fire and ice powers.

The Scientist by SSEBMI

If I cannot be loved I'll be wanted. "There was basically nothing that the scientists had not altered and played with, changed it's appearance or structure. Directed electricity through it to made it move or to restart a heart, by using machines and generators. The difference was that the Gifted only needed some power of will." "The air in the rooms had grown heavier and hotter, Eliza couldn't breathe. She stood outside the bathroom, in the corner, where the hallway opened to the huge living room where the party was the most alive. Someone had gotten up to the coffee table and was dancing themselves to death. In the middle of the floor there was a honey blond boy with pearls around his neck and five people glued to him, unbuttoning his shirt, kissing his collarbone. " The weight of being expected to do great things had dragged Eliza and Kal down their whole lives. Whilst trying to find comfort to their hurt they manage to unravel truths that were hidden for a reason. And when every hand around you is soaked with unknown blood, who can you trust? The Scientist is the first book out of three to tell this story of young love, power, morality and madness. WARNING!

Control Me (book 1) by Gunthenator

"Who's there," I can't breath. I'm always looking over my shoulder ever since- I can't think about the now. I have to run but where, back to Jake? No I can't, everything is different now. He's supposed to be here to protect me, because if the got me... blood smears the pages of the passed. "Sapphire!" I hear him call. "Coal!" I reach out to touch him only for him to be yanked just out of my reach. I hear the wolves in the distance howling at the beautiful moon. I need his touch again. I need to know I'm safe. The only safe place anymore is pressed against him under the sheets. "Coal!" I call out again. ---I can hear her. She's here somewhere I know it. I can smell her sent threw the thick of the woods. "Sapphire!" I call out, but my call is lost in the night. I have to protect her. I have to save one, just one. Maybe that will be enough to clean the blood off my tainted skin. What if they get her? She'll... Change... I look up at the moon, could she not have heard my howls? Of course she did. She always did. I can hear the other wolves in the forest. Soon I too would be engulfed by the beast. Unable to control myself, unable to predict the beasts next move. Only she could tame the beast inside me. Why be afraid of the monster under the bed when you should be afraid of the one lying next to you under the sheets.--- I keep quiet in the deep dark night. Watching her waiting for her to come back to me. I wait for him to slip up just long enough for me to swoop in and take her. It's only a matter of time. I wait for him to turn into that hideous beast. The beast that only comes out in the light of the moon. The beast that feeds of the insentient. I have to find her,to make her perfect, at least that's what they tell me. They tell me she'll be perfect and she will be mine. She will be the beginning of a new ere the ere of the beast. Everyone has secrets. Everyone lies. Everyone cries. Everyone dies. 2 view points, Coal and Sapphire. Mature! All rights reserved! Thank you!

"I don't bloody understand!" Newt says. "I shucking love you and DON'T YOU DARE to say that it was just a bloody game for you, because we both know that it wasn't. What we had was real." "But Newt, it was just a game. And of course you don't understand. You don't even remember..-" "Actually, I do. It all hit me when I saw you kissing Mark." Newt says. His voice breaks little bit when he says his name. Mark. That bloody stupid bastard who stole his girl. Who kidnaped her, took her away, it broke Newt into small pieces. "I remember everything. What.

"You know what? I don't care. Think what you want, I've had enough. I want to out. Leave. NOW!" Newt leaves the room and Selenia stays quiet for a while. "Minho and Thomas, I know you are listening." They come out of the closet and Minho smirks at her. "That was pretty harsh. You don't need to be so rude." Thomas says and Minho nods. Selenia smiles sadly. "I do. It's the only way to keep him safe from me." "Are we seriously going to do this?" Minho asks and this time, Selenia nods. "Shuck yes. We are going start The World War 4."

A world where Scott and Stiles have female versions of them selves that they don't know exist. What happens when the duos meet up? (Mature for violence, intense emotional themes, and language) ***Sneak Peak*** Winnie came back handing her friend the extra apple she always got her in exchange for the extra water. As Sky took the apple it started to sizzle. Sky dropped it startled and the girls looked at each other confused. "Okay what the fuck," Winnie asked. Sky just poked the apple again and it still heated up the fruit just not to the same extent as before. "Skyler, why is your skin burning fruit and mine isn't," Winnie asked in a hushed whisper. "How the fuck should I know," Skyler asked her friend. She was starting question if this was all just a weird dream. It had to be. Right? Winnie was now trying to poke the apple to see if it would react to her the same way before nudging it to her friend and watching it heat up a little before Skyler pulled her hand away. "Winnie," she scolded really starting to freak out. "What? It was for science purposes. Multiple trials," Winnie responded. "What the hell is happening to me," Sky asked worried. "Maybe you have super powers," Winnie proposed. "Maybe I'm dying from some weird chemical reaction," Skyler pointed out. "Always so negative. Try to look on the up side sometimes," Winnie teased. "What if I'm dying," Skyler asked worried. "It was nice knowing you," Winnie said jokingly. That wasn't what the girl needed to hear. "Look," Winnie interjected realizing she wasn't helping, "You aren't dying. We can google it and find out what's going on I'm sure there's a reason." Sky nodded quietly. She didn't know what else to do. Something was wrong with her. Something in her said it had to do with that beast they saw.
