"This is a brand new start for these people! A place for them to make friends, fight monsters, and even use MAGIC!" a man with silver hair typed quickly on a computer, talking to himself while he did so. "I've so much to do, so much to prepare for you little ones and I'm utterly excited."
The green glow on the walls shines constantly. Behind this man with big glasses and a smile wider than his ears, hundreds of people float peacefully in tanks, illuminating the walls and cluttering the floor with tubes and terminals. "I know that none of you know what you're about to do, and most of you wouldn't want this, but..." The man clacks once more, finalizing the paragraph of codes and commands. "I know you'll change your minds if you had a chance to," he giggles, "If you knew..."
A tube of green water, carrying the first victim of this mastermind, this person who plays god in his spare time, changed to a lively blue and purple... Like a huge lava-lamp where the lamp is a prison of water and simulations, and the lava is a human, asleep and oblivious.
She sparkles with power and electiricity... The man, now focused and quiet, pulls a microphone down to his lips. "Wake up," he whispers. The button he pressed to put his voice into this person's ear began it all. She was awake in his world, yet asleep in hers. "Here we go," the silver man said with a toothy grin, his green eyes tired from twenty-four hour days, working non-stop to put these helpless people into this world.
He typed... and typed... and typed some more. This world is born.
Welcome, dreamers.

Her normal routine, however, is shattered by one night that changes everything. When an old friend returns to town, Derek, with a group of friends, everything shifts dramatically in Lacey's world.

This sparks an emotional and intense sensual escapade that forces Lacey to confront her feelings she didn't know existed. As the aftershocks of the intimate encounter ripple into the following days, Lacey finds herself torn between her known life and the magnetic allure of a new, uncharted love. The intense bond with Natalia challenges everything Lacey once believed about herself, including her stance on relationships and her guarded view on love, forcing her to check boxes she's never known.

The Backpacker's Dream
'No, he didn't'. I was so shocked by the turn of events. Everything was going fine and then suddenly boom, everything turned upside down. I just couldn't believe this. What did he think of himself? 'Leave me alone.' I said firmly but his hold on me was so strong. I was struggling to get out of his bear hold but to no avail. 'Oh!! So, the poor lady thinks that I will leave her alone and just let her go free?' He had that evil laugh and boy, his breath stank. 'Man, you just signed your death warrant and I will do one favour on you.' No one messes with me. 'Ooooh, I am so scared that I almost peed my pants.' Again that idiotic laugh. I counted till 5 and then kicked right in his balls. I turned around and grabbed his hair from roots, jerked them so badly and then gave my hard elbow shot on his chin. Everything happened so fast for one moment he was standing and the other lying on floor wiggling. I charged at him with my cheetah speed, picked up a wooden rod and started hitting him wildly, 'You idiotic stinky breath was trying to steal my backpack. You are so dead.' 'Favour, favour, favour.' He was screaming in pain just after few seconds and was panting hard. I picked my paste from my bag and threw at him, 'Brush your teeth.' I was fuming. I turned around and saw him standing wide-eyed, 'Hi, I am Scarlett.' I smiled showing my 32 teeth. 'I am scared.' His look puzzled me.

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
Forever (Book 1) (Editing)
*His eyes were the first thing I noticed as he looked up at me. Such a dark blue they reminded me of sapphires. My heart jumped at the feel of them as he held my gaze. I was in a trance unable to look away and it was as if he could see into the very soul that gave my body life. My skin crawled with goosebumps as his eyes changed from curious to predatory in a matter of moments. A shudder passing through me as my heart beat faster. He could see me. Like really see me and I cringed at the gut wrenching fear that ran through me, watching as his tongue ran smoothly over his lips. He looked like a predator about to hunt his prey. Me being that prey. His grin was intimidating as he spoke to the boy next to him and began to come my way.* Lacey Yasmine just moved to the small town of Moonlight Creek with her aunt seeking new lives in a place where they could start over.

Wicked Fangs (On hold)
**_"I never believed in legends-until I became part of one. For centuries, whispers of a ruthless gang haunted my town, a group so feared that no one dared to speak their name. People said they weren't just violent men, but something far worse... something inhuman. I thought it was just an old story. A warning to keep children from wandering too far at night. I was wrong. They are real. And now, they know I've seen them."_** ________________________ "No one touches you. No one looks at you. No one even breathes near you unless I allow it." His voice was sharp, a growl vibrating deep in his chest. My back was pressed against the cold wall of his room, his body towering over mine, trapping me in place. "Why?" My voice was barely a whisper, my pulse hammering against my ribs. His hand came up, fingers threading through my hair before fisting it, tilting my head back so I had no choice but to meet his eyes-those stormy, merciless gray eyes that burned with something terrifyingly possessive. "Because you're mine." I swallowed hard, my breath hitching as his lips brushed against the sensitive skin of my neck. He inhaled deeply, his grip tightening. "There's something about you, something different. Your scent..." He let out a low, almost pained growl. "It drives me mad." His other hand ghosted over my throat, his thumb pressing lightly against my pulse. "I should keep you locked away, hidden from everyone. But even that won't be enough, will it? Because no matter where you go, no matter how far you run... I will always find you."

As he travels deeper down the rabbit hole that is his new life he now has to answer a question he thought he knew. Who is Stone Rienhart? *EXCERPT FROM BOOK* James grinned, "Ah, but you see we're not here for money, we're just here to give you some advice. We came to make sure you stay healthy!" "I'm sorry but I don't understand." Lincoln looked more than a little hesitant to hear this so called 'advice'. "I just wanted to let you know that there are some people in Eden that are very, very dissatisfied with your work. I would recommend leaving the city alone, or you might end up getting hurt, and we wouldn't want that, now would we?! I mean, look what happened to your slaves over there!" James laughed as he watched Lincoln realize what he was saying. Then, without warning he grabbed a metal pen and slammed it into the desk, leaving it embedded halfway in. "So if I were you I would let the people who are in here go free and leave Eden alone. Do we understand each other?" Lincoln gulped and squeaked out a, "Yes." James once again brightened up and patted the side of his face, "Yes what?" "Yes...sir." "Good boy."Complete
