Names have been withheld, really, I quite had to😉
This story is rather hard to peg.
It's basic skeleton is loosely laid out like an Ocean's Eleven movie plot, but with far fewer participants...
At it's heart, it's a rapscallions' tale, 
at it's soul, it becomes something much deeper...
Have you ever been cajoled into doing a task that is totally out of your comfort zone and experience? But asked in such a way that your very being cannot resist the urges to carry it out?
That is what this tale is all about, well sort of...
Please Read on....

Forgotten by crystalbooks24

//He had my hands pinned tightly above my head as I squirmed beneath him. The blade twisting between his fingers. He held it up to my throat. I was afraid but refused to show it. "Hurt me." I said between gritted teeth. He just gave me a sorrowful glance before driving the dagger into my flesh.// This is no story of love and happiness. This is a story of death and destruction. One of a man and woman who met one night and not only changed the lives of themselves, but the lives of a whole world of people. One was fire and one was water. They were perfectly balanced. Until one night when the sun fell just below the tip of the tallest castle, the balance faltered, and all hell broke loose. Fire on fire. This is no memorable story that was told on for generations after. No. This is a story of the forgotten. ------------------------------------------- The prince and princess are forced to marry out of their fathers hatred for one another. Yet, there's a falter to the plan and murder gets involved. Will the two be able to put aside years of pent up hatred, or will love conquer all? Socials: @0fficialcrystalwebb on tiktok

Release Me by anna_rose01

Highest ranked- #10 in action 2/16/2017 A promotion. That's all I wanted. I didn't want to run for my life. I didn't want to be kidnapped. I didn't want to face death. I didn't want to find out my whole life was a lie. I just wanted a bloody promotion. Guess fate had other plans? **** The cold air fanned over my face as I opened the door. The exit door lead to the back of the building so it was pitch black. I leaned against the wall trying to control myself. Blood was running down my arm and head. My hair was stuck to my face from all the sweat and blood. Everything was spinning around me and the ground seemed like it was shaking. Groaning I sat down and put my head on my knees. He knows who I am. He knows how I look like. He knows where I work so possible knows where I live. I am not safe anymore... no where. While I was in my own world I heard faint sounds behind me but I didn't bother to look or run away. The footsteps got closer and I was pretty sure it was Walker's men. I should run. I should try to fight. But what's the point in trying to run away? He would eventually find me and if he has his way he would most likely kill me. If this is my fate then why am I trying to fight it? I felt someone harshly grab my waist and pull me up and I complied. They dragged me down the alley and into the busy street. I heard the opening of a car and the next thing I knew I was being thrown into a car. My head hit the hard leather seat and the door shut behind me. Maybe this is how my life will end. Maybe I should just let it happen. Maybe I was destined to die alone as a no one. With that I let the darkness consume me.

Ascendant by JadenSeptum

Keep up with me and my current projects by diving into this unedited story written by myself (acting as the "Dungeon Master" role, writing for most characters and developing story flow) and my friend @Elisabeth_Scamander aka Melody (writing for Moira, Ikatere, Melody, Edgar, Edmund, and Kahu) Set in a live action version of the HTTYD fandom, this is a gritty tale of war, vengeance, dragons, assassins, love, tragedy, humor, a touch of magic, and above all, adventure! I will continuously update this story based on how often my friend and I work on it but I thought some of you would find if fun to tag along and read this adventure of ours that we are having so much fun writing together! This is unedited so I'm sorry if there are grammar mistakes, typos, and mispellings. As well as some messages in parenthesis spotted throughout as we were talking to each other outside of the story. You will also see time stamps. There also might be spots where it says "missed call" and whatnot where we accidentally called the chat lol. We quite literally wrote this in Instagram DMs. Each message is labeled to indicate which one of us wrote it. [GEM] = myself [MELODY] = my co-writer! RATING: PG-13

Old Money Madness by Loverofdangerouslove

One of his hands was snaked around my back while the other dragged up my spine into my hair. With one hard tug, my head fell backward and the shower water covered my face. Gasping for air I felt his mouth make its way around the base of my neck. The hot water was already making my skin hot, but having him so close in this way, made me feel like I should have combusted a long time ago. He jerked me back up to be facing him. He kissed my mouth then drags his eyes down to my neck. "A pretty necklace, for the gorgeous Princess." *** "Tell me River what each kiss means again." He presses one to my cheek. "We're friends." I smile. "Here." He presses a kiss on my hand. "You adore me." I laugh. Then he pressed a kiss to my lips. It was quick barely touching long enough for my nerves to recognize it. "A kiss to the lips," I spoke blankly. My lips still parted in the manner he left me. I'm afraid to move in fear that my brain will forget the feeling. "And tell me again what that means River?" "I love you." A chaste whisper. So quiet, almost as if it didn't need to be said at all to be understood. "And that I do Miss Knight. In all your intensity." *** Two people come to figure out a double homicide. One is mental who is richer than anyone and the other is a detective from New York just trying to get their name on a big case. You may want to eat the rich, but most of them have already starved themselves. insta: csulak_

Impurities by MoeMoe0096

"Are you old enough to be here?" The 18-year-old asked, and Hailey laughed. "Yeah. Of course, look can we just have two light beers?" Hailey asked looking at the desserts. "Well, I'm supposed to id, but I don't get paid enough for this." He rolls his eyes sliding the beers over. "Enjoy!" He groans cleaning off the counter and assisting the next customer. We walk over to a small booth and sit down. Hailey slides the beers over to me and I open one. I start to lift it and then set it back on the table. "Um... Hailey are we old enough for this?" she nods so I take a sip. It was disgusting but I felt like I should drink more so I drank the rest. Hailey had already gone to order more, and I stumbled towards her. A man grabbed me dragging me towards the back door and Hailey ran over trying to grab me. She screamed trying to get people to help but they were all distracted. The man stuck something in my arm and threw me in a van. He shut the door and Hailey ran inside to call the police. Someone covered my head with a bag, and I felt a sharp pain in my neck and then I blacked out. After that day, my life was changed forever... Click to find out more.

The Backpacker's Dream by CanisMajoris5

'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.

Sinfully Beautiful. by Lauren_Loving

AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE ON AMAZON!!! *Unedited first draft of Sinfully Beautiful* I have loved him for as long as I can remember. Stared at those long brown locks of hair for more days then I can count, and found myself lost in his gorgeous blue eyes. My boss, Cameron James has captured my attention for a long five years. He was powerful, confident and sexy. So sinfully sexy that I found myself just shaking under his presence. He was everything that I wanted, and needed in my life. But I was just his lonely and homely secretary with frizzy brown hair. He could never love someone like me, not with the gorgeous blonde's that were always attached to his arm. Unrequited love was painful, and I hated that I loved someone so passionately that would never love me back..... She was beautiful, in such a different way than the other women in my life. I knew I was going to hire her the moment she stepped into my office all those years ago. There was just something in those eyes that pulled me in, her bright green eyes that left me speechless the first time I saw them. She always had unruly hair that she tried her hardest to pin back into a bun, but kept falling out. I laughed often watching her through my office window, watching her as she blew fly away hairs out of her face and got frustrated when her hair tie broke from the thickness of her hair. She was the one person that kept me grounded in this crazy life of mine. And no matter how many woman I slept with, or spent my time with, my mind just went back to my shy, frizzy haired secretary. A story filled with secrets, haunted pasts and a sinful romance that will leave you short of breath.

Someday - A Short Story by HowlEngel

Life was dull, boring, and mechanical. I’ve always wondered if this would change. If something interesting will happen. I always hoped something interesting will happen. A falling meteor that would destroy half of town, an alien invasion, or even the Apocalypse. Anything, just to relieve me of this monotonous life I lead. “Urgh,” I groaned as I reached over to turn off the alarm clock that sounded like a hundred sirens in the early hours of dawn. The golden sun hasn’t come out to expel the surrounding darkness yet. I figured it would take an hour more or so for the sun to show its shining face, so I decided to eat breakfast and take a bath first. But little did I know that today was the day that my life would change. It was the day I met her. ---------- A short story. Hey guys! This is my first try writing a pure romance story. I hope you'll like it. :D This story will be rarely updated, since I'm busy with school and stuff. So, sorry in advance. ~Just Perfect EDIT: As of 03/29/14 (arranged in this order: dd/mm/yy), this story has deviated from its original "pure romance," into something worth delving deeper into. Quite interesting. And because of this... "something worth delving deeper into," I have decided to continue the story with a PART TWO! Though that will have to wait until after Exile. Or maybe when I get tired of Exile and hope to continue this again. But either way, there WILL be a part two for those who want more zoophilia. Cheers! 03/31/14 (again, in the dd/mm/yy order): Added a simple cover. Will be using this until I am able to draw a better image resembling both of the girl's forms. August 6, 2014: New cover. I like it.

Falling for her (GxG) by Lilyrosekins

[WARNING: 18+ CONTENT! MENTIONS OF RAPE, SUICIDE, SENSUAL THEMES READ AT YOUR OWN RISK!] "Wait what are we doing again?" "Naomi!" "Shit sorry." ~¤~ "Hi my name is Naomi, and I guess...my rich ass baby mommy wants me to tell you the story of how we met-" "For the last time I am your fucking wife. We got married see!" She pointed at the diamond ring on her finger. "Right sorry. She gets cranky sometimes. Anyways, as i was saying...I don't know why but my 'wife' wants us to tell our love story to the whole world. Yeah yeah it might be cliché and cringe sometimes to the point where you'll literally suck in a breath and curl your toes or maybe even faceplate and stop reading all together." "Our love story is not cringe... wait is it?" "Oh just shut up will you? Geez." "You don't talk to me like that." "Oh really?! Make me stop then. Come on I dare you!" "Really now? Is this how you talk to me?" She leaned in a bit to where Naomi sat and smirked a bit. "You do know what I'm capable of right?" Naomi gulped. "Well how about your offer then, let me make you stop sweetie how's that?" She tilted her head and Naomi felt a warm hand on her thigh when- ~Static~ Apologies we are having technical difficulties, the show will be back as soon as possible. Thank you. [UNEDITED]
