I spray-painted the words in large, red, capital letters on the walls of my room, covering my mouth with my bandana that hid my face from the fumes that the can let out. Once I was finished I took a step back and admired my work. I read through the words again and again satisfied with what I was leaving behind for everyone else to see. Before anyone ran away or committed suicide they usually left a message or letter for their loved ones or family. I guess this was my message for them. 

I put my spray can in my bag and walked to my window. I crawled out and looked back into my room for the final time, smirking as I read through my message which I had left in large, red letters sprayed on the wall. Hopefully one day it would come true.

I leaped down from the window and walked down the street. I smirked as I thought about my family's reaction as they read the final words I had left for them...

'THOU SHALL BURN IN HELL'
---
Never had I expected this. Never had I ever thought that I would escape.
But as it has been once told "We feel free when we escape-even if it be but from the frying pan to the fire."

Join Alex as she enters into the world of war, mythical creatures, elementals & benders, bloodshed, lies, betrayal, hurt, death and love.
Not everyone has the honour of being excepted in the ‘Ordinem Argentum Resurrexit’, or so she’s been told.

The Blood Order by esthersteel_
61 parts Complete Mature
"Are you coming to bed firefly?" He says to me laying his hands over my waist joining me in looking over the city. "I want to look out for a little longer if that is alright?" I mumble hoping that he heard me anyways, I wasn't ready to walk into that bedroom, and I don't think I ever would be. "Of course, I'll be getting ready for bed, come in whenever you are ready." He says confidently and walks away leaving my waist cold something for which I am grateful. Especially when my mind burns with other more dangerous thoughts. The warmth that forever lingers in the air, never burning the skin, but always reminding about what is around us. I force air into my lungs feeling the unexpected warmth fill me. He stands in the room watching me even though he said he was getting ready for bed. He is worried about me, about me jumping. I have contemplated it I will admit, but he would stop me before I fell even two feet. I was stuck, and no one could save me. Not even myself, my fucking weak self. His presence is demanding no matter where we are, but right now I could sense everything about him, and I try to suppress the unwanted feelings that curl right under my skin. "Firefly? About done?" He calls out and I release my hand from the guard rail not realizing that as I looked at the lights that covered the shining city with the falling fire in the background that my subconscious was thinking about how nice it would be... how relieving it would be... to just fall. True freedom. I take a step back and wrap my hands together turning around to a fully clothed unchanged man and nod once. I could see the fear in his eyes that I would, he knows if he gave me the chance... I wasn't ready for this, but I had to survive. No matter what. Highest Ranks: #17 In Romance #5 in Soulmates
Elemental Magnetic Star by Julienxuxu
200 parts Complete Mature
1. In the distant future, Earth is ruled by a newly born intelligence of technology, reducing humanity to a mere adjunct. To begin anew, the "Kunpeng" sets off into the vast cosmos, carrying the Nuwa System designed to reboot civilization. "Elemental Magnetic Star," this planet with its complex geography and intense electromagnetic radiation, already home to indigenous life, could it become humanity's final haven? 2. "The moon is orange-red today," Flicker Shadow said, "An orange-red moon signifies the time of our agreement. If she decides to go to the Free People's Tribe, I'll wait for her nearby." Raina Grace looked up at Flame Wave, who was lost in thought. He was slightly bowing his head, his usually impassive and strong brows furrowed in a rare sign of indecision; not quite the unflappable, powerful Silver Sect wizard he usually was. "You're really not coming with me to the Sky Domain?" But she couldn't just go to the Sky Domain; she wanted to forge her own path. He lifted his head, their eyes met, and they understood each other's intentions. 3. It's undeniable, these were the most beautiful and clear eyes Flame Wave had ever seen. Cold and light blue, they shone brighter than stars, wider than the heavens. At this moment, these captivating eyes conveyed apologies, regrets, and determination. She was not born human but chose to be human, to grow as one! 75k words manuscript completed, daily refined updates. Thank you for your visit and gaze, wishing you find your own star in the vast universe.

I wrote this when I was 16 give me a break. TAKEN SERIES: BOOK ONE TW: kidnapping, manipulation, toxic/abusive relationship, violence, death, grief, self-harm, suicidal thoughts/attempts, sexual assault, non-consensual sexual content, alcoholism, stockholm syndrome, switching partners, etc. Do not read this story if you get triggered easily. If you decide to continue, that's your own choice. This story will portray a BDSM relationship, NOT counting the toxicity and genuine abuse that goes on throughout it. Do not comment anything unnecessarily judgmental, especially if you don't know what you're talking about. Thank you, enjoy. - - - - - "Don't ever do something like that again, or I will kill you, understood? "Yes, sir." - - - - - After being continuously hurt, left alone, heart broken and losing the one thing that kept her going, Nia Seymour turns to a new job that will show her how to let loose, live her life and make her happy again. The last thing she expected was to be Taken Captive by someone who would turn her life into chaos, make her addicted to the pain and hold her heart in his hands, breaking it and putting it back together over and over again until she's had enough. • • • The second he lays his eyes on her, Callum Rivera's world is turned upside down and he's made his mind up. She's his. He feeds off of the tears she cries, loves the pain all over her face when he hurts her over and over again, whether it's purposefully or not. As time passes and feelings evolve, soon enough the tears falling out of her eyes no longer give him pleasure, only pain and all he wants is for her to be happy, as long as she's with him. • • • The universe is sending challenge after challenge to these two individuals who want nothing but each other. Will they get past these secrets, lies, toxicity and pain? Or will one of them give up? - - - - -

"YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO THIS! THERE HAS TO BE A DIFFERENT WAY; WE CAN FIND A DIFFERENT WAY!" I shouted over the deafening roar of the passing trains, hoping she could hear me. "I DO; YOU KNOW I DO, THERE IS NO OTHER WAY!" she shouted back, on the verge of tears. A look of fear took over her face, but before I could turn around to see why, I collapsed. I could feel myself fading and something warm running down my neck. "That didn't have to happen," was the last thing I heard before darkness consumed me. ~ When Phoenix's relationship takes a turn for the worst, she relies on her best friends to help her make it out and protect those closest to her in the process. However, things don't go as planned, and a rescue mission ensues. She'll do anything to protect her family, but how far will she have to go, and what will it cost? ~ (Trigger warning: abusive and controlling partner) I wrote this in middle school so read at your own risk ✨not edited✨ might edit in the future but probably not
