Safety is Relative, my Dad once told me.
It depends on how you look at it.

For example, many more people have a fear of flying than a fear of driving. Why? Cars are familiar, and we see them every day. Most people don't crash their cars.
Planes, however, are different. The only time they are in the news are if they've crashed or exploded. They don't seem safe.

But safety is relative, depending on how you look at it.
Millions more people are killed every year from car crashes than plane crashes. 
So whilst being in a car may seem safer...in reality, planes are so much more.


I didn't understand this concept at first.
It was only after, that I understood.
Because moving to the safest place in the world doesn't necessarily mean that it is. A village in the middle of nowhere, with the highest ratio of slayers to humans in the country. No vampire would dare set foot in a five-mile radius of the place.
So you're safe, right?

Wrong.

What if some of the deadliest killers in the whole of history decided to live there too? No-one looks for a vampire in a vampire-free village. 

Doesn't seem so safe now, does it?

Olive the Other Werewolves by hooodster

"Shift." His voice hit me like a serrated blade as he stepped out of the crude semicircle of hardened wolves that had formed around me. I pushed myself off of the cold floor for what felt like the thousandth time that day, wiping the small trail of blood coming off of my lip and down my chin. "I won't ask you again." My limbs felt like lead, these wolves had been at me for hours trying to get me to shift into my wolf, unbeknown to them was that their efforts would forever be futile considering the fact my wolf wouldn't make an appearance for me even when I begged. I seriously doubted she would suddenly pop up as a result of their abusive tactics. Instead of explaining my circumstances, driven by a bizarre combination of adrenaline and fatigue, I leaned back on my heels and sent the largest loogie I'd ever conjured flying over and landing squarely between the eyes of the man before me. oOoOoOoOoOo As a late bloomer who was incapable of shifting yet, let alone making any contact with her wolf, Olive Ludovic's life was not off to the best start. Growing up, constantly being tormented and taunted by those around her forced Olive to grow a tough skin and work even harder, despite the fact she was without her wolf. When her home is taken over by a dark pack, life seems to only get worse for Olive as it is quickly discovered that her mate is none other than Matteo, the Alpha of the very pack that was terrorizing her people. It seems to her, that life is just a little bit easier for Olive the Other Werewolves. oOoOoOo hello! just fyi there will be mature language and content as the book progresses so i'm letting ya know now ;) HIGHEST WEREWOLF RANKING = 2, LOVE RANKING = 3 (out of 1.8 million books XD), MAGIC RANKING = 1, ROMANCE RANKING = 1 (out of 1.5 million books XD), VAMPIRE RANKING =1!
My Last Breath (Book one of The Portal Series) by Chinesechickens123

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.

Previously, My enemies are my mates. Highest ranking in werewolf: #15 Highest ranking in vampire #74 "Who the fûck touched you!?" Tate's eyes turned black and his wolf came to the surface. I opened my eyes in confusion, I clenched my thighs together tightly, riffling vivaciously to try and gain some friction when Kieran banged my hands hard against the headboard once more, causing me to jump in shock and snap back to the situation. "I'm gonna ask one last time Evangeline. Who. The. Fuck. Touched. You?" His wolf was so close to the surface that I could feel it's anger prickling on my skin. Kieran's jaw was clenched tightly as he looked down at me. I couldn't understand a damn word he was saying. My mind had gone to jelly and the only thing I could think of was what Tates fingers felt like so deep inside me. How has my life come to this? Straddled by a man I hardly knew while the others loomed behind him, growling at me and the lust I emitted. I just wanted my family, and this was what I was getting instead.

Crash

20 parts Complete

It's randomly that Gwen meets Thomas. And it's randomly that they fall for each other. They both didn't want to, but you can't control everything. And maybe they were right because it's not going to be easy. Let's face it, it never is. At this point, in this world, anything can happen. People crash, people fall apart, people rise. Now, if they will make it out together...that's an interesting question. *** NOTE: This was lightly based off You Me At Six's song "Crash", from Sinners Never Sleep. No rip off, just had a sudden idea. (Facts might not all be correct, I try my best to get my research done before writing. Sorry about anything) (Also, this might have a few...as they'd call it "bad language")
