Life is pretty hard as a teenager, and that's not including the itsy bitsy detail of me being able to travel back in time through my dreams and...oh I don't know....change the course of history.
This is a pretty recent development, and I have NO clue what to do about it. Not only that but there is some incredibly sexy but super creepy new dude who's rocked up in my small town and he seems hell-bent on making my life even more complicated.
So in between finding time to do my homework and watching out for my best friends not-so-friendly new boyfriend, I need to be saving a young Napoleon Bonapartes ass from trouble before he can grow up to become the vertically challenged military officer we know him as today...but you know, typical day in the life of Elena Kristal.

By the Roman Titan of Life. Yep and if by some chance I survive this, I'll have another crazy god/goddess, who's name I don't know, that wants to kill me for whatever reason. Yes just my life.

SHATTER
"He leaned in so close that for a second I thought he was going to kiss me. Then he pulled back and remained quiet for a little while, until he spoke in a low voice. "Marie, there's something I need to tell you." While average teenage girls have to deal with the stress of pop quizzes, cheating boyfriends, two hours' worth of homework, and choosing which Instagram picture makes them look the skinniest, Marie is far from a normal teenage girl. She has no idea what is happening to her as she tries to convince herself she's either going crazy or that these new abilities of super strength, sense, and controlling the elements are just unusual signs of puberty. Things start to get even more crazy when Adam Keller, an incredibly attractive new boy, tries to tell her she is the heir to the most powerful line of witches and that it's his job to train her to use her powers. Marie somehow finds herself in the middle of a love triangle and is forced to face conflicts that make her whole world shatter. What will Marie do when she confronts having powers, killing demons, and trying to avoid a boy that makes her heart flutter? Will she be able to walk away from everything she has ever known? I wrote this book when I was in middle school and high school. It was published my senior year of high school. You can buy it on amazon and barnesandnoble.com. I will be posting the prologue and first chapter to give you an idea of what it is about. This book is meant for middle schooler's and early high schooler's who enjoy paranormal romance, a strong witty heroin, and action.Complete
Deep Desires : Miss Mafia
**** Mature content**** "You wanna know why I'm angry?" He said in between the kisses. "Because of you" He said as he continued and my body tensed and shivered. "Every time I think I have control over myself and decide to leave this place... to leave ... you. I stop and walk back like a puppy" He said turning me around now. "Every time I meet someone, I compare them to you. Every fucking time I remind myself that you're an enemy, I want you even more" he said and I knew that this was one of the hardest thing for him to do. He and neither I like to talk about how we are feeling or face reality. Yet he still did it. "What the fuck are you doing to me Mia Bella?" He whispered with his forehead on mine and our lips inches apart. "Kiss me" I replied • • • Mafia, drugs, weapons, and all the dangerous and abnormal you can think of is what Alexandra Salvatore has to deal with on daily basis.

Learn to take your time! (Y/N X Lafayette) - [Hamilton Fanfiction]
I put on the uniform and damn, I looked good. I found an easy band-aid and wrapped it over my chest, which made it smaller. My hair was in a tight bun, I pulled the collar a bit higher and exhaled. I'm going to a freaking war now. The shoes didn't fit right, but I'll find some in Washington's room. ~ - 'Time' is a short word with a big meaning. It may be impossible in this reality but there are more than one and somewhere in this big ass universe.. well, there is a chance. So you should take it! - A Y/N story without Y/N.

My Mate From Internet
"You're hurting me.", I was on the verge of crying. "Well, get used to it", he said and slammed my hands into the wall and left. ##### Lillian Adams is just an ordinary girl with very few friends and a caring boyfriend. At least that's what she thought untill she talked to a stranger on internet. . . . . . Her life changes when not so accidentally a new world opens up front of her. And it turns out that the stranger that she talked to was none other the Alpha of RedMoon Pack, Alpha Alexander. Alpha Alexander who has a bad reputation for his violent way is the proper definition of what you call a psychotic maniac. His pack is the biggest and fiercest in the world. No one wants to mess with RedMoon Pack and Alpha Alexander. But what happens when Lillian finds out that somehow she can't help but be attracted to Caleb Donovan, the pack's Beta? And more importantly what happens when the big bad Alpha decides to make Lillian his "property"? P.s- if you are the type of reader that reads only one chapter and judge if you want to read the book further or not, then I suggest that you read chapter 7. I know it sounds odd to read chapter 7 first , but you'll like it.Complete

I ,Elena, am an ordinary high school girl.I am so into novels and I finally found my favourite one just a few days ago! It was a mafia one! When I saw it at the book store,I just couldn't resist the temptation so I bought it.I got home and started reading it. "Eh?!The second male lead dies to protect the heroine?!" The second male lead, Endymion, was the childhood friend of the heroine.He always had a crush on her but never expresssed his romantic feelings.He was so kind to the heroine and protected her from afar. "He got shot to protect her and died without even revealing his true feelings?! This is so unfair author-sama!"I screamed at the book right in front of me. "I had enough of this! Endymion should get his happy ending as well!" Suddenly,I saw a light coming from inside the book."What the?"I opened it. "Do you wish to save second male lead?" Is this for real? A yes and no appeared in front of me.I tapped on "yes"."Do as you wish but under a condition... Never fall for the second male lead" "What?!I have a huge crush on him already?! What are you talking about?!" " -_-"appeared on the book. It went silent for a bit but a new message appeared. "Then never admit your feelings for the second male lead to him." [...] "I accept." 📌 Note‼️: the picture does not belong to me.I took the picture from Google. I wrote this because I was bored of the classic mafia with a naive fl and can do it all ml. I also didn't include too much love triangle , double faced people and unessasary drama.Complete

He's a man who is feared by many and is known for being merciless, ruthless, strong and powerful. He would shoot you between the eyes if you dared to look at him the wrong way.

A woman who is sarcastic yet stubborn at times. She is the youngest out of her family being the age of 18 and has a lot of responsibility in her hands as her father is the Spanish mafia Don. She is known to be kind hearted, considerate and a goddess . Her warm heart has yet to touch ones cold heart that seeks the feeling of love. Both complete opposites.
