It's not unusual to hear people's voices in your head. It's expected, really. What's interesting is the fact that the voice in Dahlia's head does not belong to a human - it belongs to the stars, instead.
***
"Who are you?" someone might ask to the utter horror showing on Dahlia's face.
"I... I..."
Maybe she was right to think of herself as part of a rhythm, a system that stretched all around her, as everyone, even fate, expected her to fix the mistakes of her predecessors. Maybe, just maybe, she was right to think that none of it even mattered, despite the swelling pain in her heart that told her - it did.
Maybe Dahlia felt it in her soul, the very fabric of life, of imagination, of love, of happiness - maybe it was too much, threatening to tear her apart at the seams.
And maybe, as she was looking at that Door before her, polished and beautiful, she may have thought of an answer that satisfied her, satisfied the stars, even the shrieking voices in her head. They belonged to the people she'd met in her life, no matter how kind and loving.
Dahlia sighed deeply, tracing her fingers along her skull. Would this be the end for her? Or would this simply be a new beginning, a dull promise of starting over, letting the past disappear?
Perhaps it really was her as she swallowed her pride and went through the Door.
Perhaps it really was her destiny.

The first draft of my fantasy trilogy that I've been dying to finally write! I need feedback, so don't be shy, give it to me! I should post regularly as the whole draft is written by now (I'm working on the second book but I've barely started to be honest)
In this world between three others lie the secrets to wars and pain. Will Dahlia finally understand what it means to be loved?

My Last Breath (Book one of The Portal Series)
BOOK ONE: Having enough courage to run through the woods and away from the people who convinced me they were saving me was not how I believed I'd spend my day. Yet, there I went escaping from the only place I knew existed in the world. Being held captive was too much for me, especially when these people wouldn't tell me who they were or even who I was. The first moment in my life I recall very clearly. I awoke in a dark room, with recollection of everything that happened in the world except for one thing. I had no memory of myself existing, I didn't know where I was or why these men kept me from leaving. Days after I first woke I asked plenty of questions, and yet none of them were answered. The only thing I learned was that I was not allowed outside because the woods heald the most powerful magic on the planet, the most dangerous magic. It was more than just bad men and curiosity about the forest that got me to leave, it was a pull towards something; towards magic. Once I was in the forest turning back was never an option, so I put it in my head that I'd keep walking until I found a civilization or a nice paved road that would lead to safety. But that never happened because the forest has a force living through it. Believing that the forest held something strange was the easy part but experiencing it myself was something totally different. I didn't expect anything normal but I didn't expect to be completly engulfed into the forest. I was led by an unknown presence that made me truly believe it was a living being, and in fact it is. I was innocent then, but now I know that anything can be hidden under a small platform in the woods with a secret bigger than the world itself. I was given life that day, until it all ended months later; the day I took my last breath.Lengkap

My Vampire Prince
"Hello, are you there ?" "Yes, I am. I will always be there." "Can I ask you something?" "Sure my love." "Why don't I feel scared of you? I am here, in my room, talking to a stranger who is invisible, I don't even know your full name. But..but I feel attracted towards you. I feel like you are very near to my heart. Why do I feel like this? Isn't this wrong?" "That is because you are my beloved, love." "Beloved? Do you mean "vampire-kinda-beloved"?" "Yes darling," he replied. "But how do I believe you?" Suddenly my surroundings became darker. A figure started to appear in front of my eyes. He was tall, porcelain-skinned, pure black eyes, jet black hair, well built, wearing a white t-shirt and jeans along with a black jacket. He was standing there looking like a Greek god while I was sitting on my bed with a messy bun on my head and a tub of ice-cream, looking like a homeless person. I was staring at him as if he was the 8th wonder of the world. "Wait a minute, you are ...y-you.." "Yes, I am " This is not a prologue. It's just an insight into what the book is about. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is my first book .. so have a little mercy on me... sorry if it's very bad ... hope you enjoy reading it.

A Clove of Fates
BOOK ONE OF THE BINDING TRILOGY CURRENTLY UNDER MAJOR CONSTRUCTION! Some big changes are likely being made while you are reading, and you might miss them. *** Jarelis had always known magic was evil and had stayed when her sister, Elke, had left for the bolstering magical center that was the city of Musteri. But when Jarelis receives a distressing cry for help from her sister, she embarks into the city to petition the god who whisked her away. They strike a deal: her sister's life in return for that of Princess Ifera, the Chosen Enchantress. Ifera is convinced that her father chose wrong when he chose her to rule over Musteri. For one thing, the magical talisman that she's supposed to use to legitimize her authority doesn't seem to want to work for her. She knew that her inability to use magic of her own made her vulnerable, susceptible even to desperate, but also reasonably attractive, farm girls. Only when Jarelis tries to kill her, she realizes she can't. Not without rendering herself dead in the process. If Jarelis wants to kill her, she has to seek out a way to unbind their souls. And if Ifera wants to escape her, she has to find a way to activate her talisman. Only neither of them are quite sure that's what they want anymore, and every second they waste Elke falls deeper into The God of Charms's grasp. *** #1 in LGBT 4/22/2020Lengkap
Her Sickness, His Cure B2 (ON HOLD)
"You...You look just like an angel...A dangerous one but still.....an Angel." She attempted to smile at me. Her breathing was forced and ragged. Her forehead was covered in beads of sweat. Whether she felt any pain or not, I felt a thousand knives pierce my heart. I gently caressed her cheek with the back of my hand. All my life I never had a problem getting whatever I want. I was the last child out of four siblings. My parents spoilt me with everything. In every way. They had no problem allowing me to have whatever my heart desired. I was never met with anything I couldn't have. Until her. Until this beautiful woman who was never going to be mine. I wish I could fight to have her. I wish I was faced with a normal challenge that most men do when they were in love. A normal challenge would occasionally be them trying to prove their love for their woman, or compete for her hand if there was another man after her. I would love to compete but how could I ever compete with something which is not a being of any sort? How was I ever going to compete or battle against something I could never touch or see? How could I beat it if it is the one she has chosen to go with? How could I ever take away the freedom of choice? How could I ever compete with Death?
Alien from the past. Mate for the future.
✨ Book 3 from Extraterrestrial Encounter ✨ -*- They always told me I belonged to the sky. Not because I was special or different, but because ever since I was a child, I would spend hours staring at the stars, searching for answers no adult seemed willing to give me. My name is Selen. I'm nineteen years old, and I work as a research assistant in one of the oldest observatories in the colony. I live among star maps, coordinates, and telescopes. But sometimes, when the world falls asleep and I'm left alone beneath the vault of the sky, I feel... something. An invisible gaze, warm and distant. As if the stars weren't the only ones watching me. I don't remember much from when I was a child. Just fragments: a distant roar, strong hands lifting me from the mud... Blue eyes that didn't belong to any human being. They told me I was in danger, and that someone saved me. But no one ever wanted to tell me who. And yet, tonight... as the sky opens above me and the forest whispers ancient words, I have the strange feeling I'm not alone. Maybe this time it will save me and take me to safety. -*- [ I'm still trying to figure out if this is going to be a long story or just a glimpse into how things have settled down in the near future. Maybe you can help me. If you have any idea leave a comment. ]🤔🤷 🔴 As usual beware! This story will be marked as Adult story. Strong language, fighting, blood, death and of course consensual sex scenes and more. 🔴🔞Lengkap
Three Drops Final (ABANDONED)
(Book 3 in the 'Blood Drops' series) Five drops for the vampires who drink it. Four for the creatures who relish in it. Three for the strong who take it. Two for the weak who cower from it. One for the humans from whom it is taken. *** This book, along with all the others in this series, was written in a manic creative frenzy when I was about 11-12 years old. I do not consider it quality work, nor do I find it representative of my writing skills today. I will not take it down, because it is still fairly popular and I enjoy reflecting upon how I have developed my writing over the years. All I ask is that if you choose to read the book(s), please take into consideration that this was written by a tween many years ago, and that I am not the same person (or writer) as I was then. Thank you. *** Felicia Winters had just survived the hardest year of her life: a year of abuse, of pain and misery, of darkness and the supernatural and death. She was finally beginning to heal, putting the pieces of herself back together with the help of her friends- she thought the war was over. She couldn't have been more wrong. When her life becomes threatened, will she accept help from her former abuser and mate Braith? Or will she create a rift between them with the power to destroy all they know and love? Now three drops final will have to sate the beast. If you have any constructive critiscism for me, please leave it in the comments or feel free to DM me (also I suck at summaries, so sorry about that).Lengkap
The Aeon Below
the Aeon Below Deep beneath the frozen ribs of the mountain lies the Cave of the Dead, where light dies and the air itself hums with mourning. Those who enter rarely return sane...if they return at all. Desperate to escape the relatives bleeding her dry, Dahlia joins an expedition into its depths, hoping to earn enough money to buy her freedom. Instead, she reaches the cave's final chamber: a vast golden cathedral carved for forgotten gods, where a corpse stands vigil before a black monolith that thinks. He calls himself Caelus. Once a god, now fallen, Caelus has spent centuries bound as the barrier between the living world and the underworld. When Dahlia accidentally touches the Black Salt Stone that anchors him to his prison, she forges a tether between their minds. Now his voice follows her everywhere...ancient, mocking, impossible to silence. For the first time in hundreds of years, Caelus is no longer alone. For the first time in Dahlia's life, someone listens. But Caelus's interest in her isn't kindness. To awaken the body preserved beneath the mountain and break free of his prison, he must consume the soul of the woman bound to him. Dahlia should be nothing more than a means to an end. Yet her stubborn humor, relentless greed, and refusal to yield begin to unravel something within him...something dangerously close to humanity. As the dead whisper through the labyrinth below and ancient truths claw their way to the surface, Dahlia faces an impossible choice: trust the god destined to devour her, or destroy the only being who has ever truly understood her. After all, the most dangerous thing in the Cave of the Dead isn't what waits in the darkness. It's the voice that knows exactly how to reach her heart. ~~~🦋 Early draft, being revised for publication elsewhere.
