A story about childhood fears, societal expectations and isolation - things that could turn an ordinary young woman into a witch...
"In the autumn of 1961, Hallow's Eve held a special promise for me, because I had recently discovered that Didsbury was home to a witch. She was an absolute gem of a witch - cut-glass cheekbones, raven tresses, laced up boots and every single garment I ever saw her in was black. She wore a regular pill box hat, but I saw through this disguise: I knew she had a pointy one in her wardrobe for special occasions. I was nine years old."

In Her Shoes
Then, something strange happened in that moment. Her face changed -- no that's not quite the word; it flickered, her blonde hair turned to blonde and matted dread locks with particles and ornaments weaved within them. Her nose nearly outgrew her own face and was covered in disgusting toad-like warts. The top of her black hood suddenly pointed even more and looked like a pointed black hat. I almost screamed. She was so ugly.... Jesse was your typical high school jock. Star quarterback, flawless record, chicks at his feet and a dad with so much money he could about buy the world. Oh yea. Jesse is a king. That is until a mysterious "witch" comes to the school and teaches him not to judge or be rude to another being again, unless He's walked a mile in her. .... shoes?Complete

I stop, putting my hands on my hips. "Are you going to order all of them?" "If I want to, yes, I will." He doesn't budge. I sigh, sitting next to him. "You know that you don't have to do this. I can go buy my own dresses." "I know, but I want to see you wear dresses that I chose. Besides, is it so wrong to want to spend time with you?" ______ Note: This is entirely my work. I want to see if I'm able to write something without a plot set up for me. I hope you like it!Complete
The Dominant Demon (Finished)
"You're the only thing that I have ever truly loved," he states, leaning in closer. I try to scoot away, but he corners me on the bed, placing his body over mine. "Get off me!" I exclaim, angrily. "I'm not who you think I am. That can't be possible." His face comes closer to mine as he pins my wrists to the bed. "It is possible. I loved you for three, short, human years, and then you left me. Now that I have you back, though, I will never let that happen again." ***** Salem's earliest memories were of her parents preforming odd rituals. She never really understood anything they said in them, but she would always sit in the middle of the big, circled, star and giggle. At age 10, both of her parents died. She was thrown into foster care. Without them around to explain to her exactly what the rituals meant, Salem was never told that she was a sacrifice to a demon king in exchange for all the money they could ever ask for. On her 20th birthday, at the stroke of midnight, the demon king finally comes for her. She is completely unaware of the situation, and she begins to try her best at resisting his advances, but he is very possessive, very persuasive, and very determined to claim what is rightfully his.Complete

But the thing that got me all the way creeped out was his facial expression, as if he was expecting something major to happen. "Ahhhhh shit!" Two voices said in my head. "What the hell?" I thought. 'Oh yeah, we didn't introduce ourselves. I'm Grayson, and the other annoying ass voice in your head is Dominic. We're both your guardian demons!' He exclaimed. 'Oh yeah, I forgot about them.' "Hey!" Both of their voices exclaimed. Snickering in my head, I finally ask them what's wrong since they were shocked when the doctor came in. "He's someone you don't want to be near. You thought demons were dangerous, ohh he's far worse. Us demons are just lapdogs for the devil. But him? He doesn't take orders from anyone." "Do you guys mind stepping out while I examine Zo? It'll be awhile plus I need a little...privacy." The doctor says with a smirk. My parents say sure and drag my siblings out while I plead them to stay with my eyes. "Oh what a lovely surprise I have here." Like my guardian demons both said, "ahhh shit!" This book includes: -Swearing -Mention of rape -Abuse -Sexual content YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!!!!!!Complete
