The Ninth Life
REPUBLISHED FOR REVIEW Felix Godinez was born a werecat and has kept his secret form even from his parents. By day, he is a normal Southern California high school student, but by night, he is a terrifying, ninja-like vigilante who means to do good in the world. Several months after the Catman's first public appearances, crime rates start to drop in the city of Kiersten, but two new, unforeseeable evils cause Felix to make full use of his nine lives. "I have the responsibility to make a difference in this world full of indifference. I am the vigilante. I am the Knight of the Night. I am the Night Cat." Warning: This story is extremely graphic.

Innocence (OUAT/Peter Pan)
A girl doomed before her own birth to be violently wanted by every person in her entire world, and then imprisoned for her entire life starting at age 5, of course wants nothing more than to escape. His Shadow is called to her, and takes her to Neverland, where she gets her freedom. And when you give an evil boy an innocent girl, opposites attract. I love the TV series, but I think Peter Pan should get to love somebody, so here's who and here's how they fell in love, as I believe it should go. Sorry for the bad summary, I promise the story is better! *Rating cautious, may change for some chapters TBA **I do not own the Once Upon a Time TV series, nor do I own their characters. I do own this story, and my main female character. ***Copyright***
