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?

Someone Is Watching Me?
Did you ever felt that someone is watching you? I know it is a stupid question. You are not even a living being, then how can you feel? Right now, I'm so desperate that I can't even tell you how I felt when I realised that someone was watching me. But is it even possible that someone is watching me? You know, mom always used to tell me that Mumbai city is the safest place in our country. I always felt the samething, but since yesterday, I'm scared and feel so stalkerish. I cannot even tell my mom what happened with me and I can't even tell this to anyone, because it creeps me and it scares the hell out of me. I never felt like this before because I thought no one really cares here. Moreover, to be honest it is true. There is no one cares about anyone. Infact, I always thought no one would even look at me. Because I'm not beautiful or even sexy. Hell, I'm not even slim like any sexy slim ladies, then why anyone will be interested in me?Complete
My Hybrid Troubles
*This is Purely fantasy* I'm Rose. I am 50% witch, about 25% vampire and about 25% she-wolf (Werewolf). My father IS half warlock and half vampire. My mother WAS half witch and half she-wolf (werewolf). I had two older siblings but they passed away on their sixteenth birthdays. One of them was my brother, I never really knew him, I was in our mother's womb at the time. He died after he shifted his first time because he was never told about his genes and what they meant (he died from shock). The other one was my sister, I kind of got to know her, but when she passed I was only 6. She also died after her first shift, but not because she was clueless. She had been told TOO much about her genes and what they meant. When she shifted, she tried to stop it because she was scared of her wolf. After my sister passed so did my mother, she was severely depressed and couldn't take the thought of me leaving her too early. Before she died, she told my father everything about herself and her werewolf roots. She only survived until my dad knew everything, it seemed like that was all that mattered, like she knew she was going to die. I have been taught the ways of my ancestors, werewolf, vampire and witch, slowly so I can absorb it all properly. ------------------------- This story is about me, a young girl, with a lot of issues. I always am treated like trash by my rude human stepmother. Around my father, she's completely innocent but when he isn't, hell just about breaks loose. When I turn sixteen I will leave my father and house to move in with either the vampire lord or the werewolf's alpha. What happens when I have two possible mates? What happens when one person I really thought I could trust hurts me almost beyond repair? And what happens to hybrids that seek a second chance? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ WARNINGS: There is swearing, abuse, mature sections, etc.Complete
