Four years ago... I'd give anything to go back... To see my father one last time... To tell him I love him.. To hold his warm hand... To be the little girl that I once was... But now, I live the life of a rogue.. I steal from the overly rich, making sure that they can spare what I take from them, and hand off the riches to the poor families of Taria. I only take a little off the top for myself, just enough to survive. The rest puts a smile on a father's face when he can tell his wife and kids that they will have food in their stomachs. I chose this life because I knew how it felt to have hardly enough to eat and enough holes in your clothing that you swear a rat chewed them. This is my new life now, father... I hope you approve of my actions.

πππππππππ (This is NOT an incest story!!) 19 year old Avyana, also a very known assassin in the underworld known as Angel, living with her twin Alessio.

I breathe out, tears welling up in my eyes. "I know I've been busy with work and my mafia, but I thought we needed a little date night. Just the two of us." he says, wiping a tear from my cheek that I didn't realize had fallen. "Kayden, t-this is amazing! I love it!" I stutter and jump on him, which he catches me, and I cling like a koala. "I love you to the moon and beyond." I mumble into his neck, and he tightens his hold on me. "I love you more, baby. Always. To the moon and beyond." He rasps into my ear, and when I let go of him, we just stare into eachothers eyes for a second. Just him and I.β __________________________________________________________________________________ πππππππ - July 9th, 2024 π πππππππ - Dec 19th, 2024Complete
The DemiGod & the Dancer
"I am offering you a good life, a better life, Tiana. It'd be a shame not to take the offer...for you and our daughter." Tiana...I closed my eyes. Niklaus still said it like a caress. "I can't be in a marriage of convenience." With you. "We'll be a real family," he said quickly. "We need to be, for Reina's sake." What about my sake, I wanted to ask, but instead I stood there. I took a deep breath, and turned to look into his eyes again. They were soft and pleading, sincere. I drowned in them, I always did. It was why I ran years ago without telling him anything. I couldn't imagine being a baby's mama-a woman he laid with and didn't want a child with-an inconvenience. I had never really gotten over him. If there was one thing I knew besides how much I loved my daughter, it was that, and I was scared to death. "We used to be...really good together, you know." I felt my body flush at his change in tone. "Don't." He blinked at me, and then his eyes became completely suggestive. "You remember. I do, too. Please give this a chance," he said softly. "I'll do what it takes, Tatiana. I think we owe it to everyone involved to give this a shot." "What about Demigods?" "Demigods is a show. My life was a show, but it isn't now. It won't be." His whispered plea, his masculine scent, and his blue eyes penetrated my sensibilities. I was trying to think of what to say. I had rehearsed this in my mind for years, and now that he was here, I was going horribly blank. I tried to reason: Reina and I would be provided for, we would want for nothing, right? I just had to find a way to keep my heart away from him. The thought seemed impossible. He took my hand and kissed it, locking eyes to mine. "Do we have a deal then?" I looked at him, realizing that all devils weren't dark-haired and dark-eyed. "Deal."Complete
Boarding School
When Sammy's parents got divorced, she didn't mind at all, because she knew that they weren't meant to be together, and if they weren't happy with each other, then they don't have to stay together for her sake. She lived with her mom, and her dad visited regularly, when he could get away from his work; running a top class private boarding school. Her mom turns on her when her favourite person leaves town, and her life slowly starts losing meaning, and she can't think of anything that makes her happy, except being with her best friend. Then, she goes too... With nothing making her happy in her small town, she makes a life-changing decision, that she thinks will benifit her, and make her life all that she wanted. Or, it could go very wrong and be worse than staying where she is. "Dad, I want to live with you" I told him over the phone, in tears. Nothing new there. "Samantha, you know I'd love you too, but there isn't any school around this area, remember? My school is in the countryside, with nothing within a short driving dinstance" he all but rejected me. "Then can I move schools? Attend your boarding school?" He was silent, then let out a long sigh of defeat. "I'll enroll you now. Pack your things, I'll send a car in the morning for you." That was all I needed to hear, and I was thrilled. Without making noise, I danced around my room and repeatedly thanked him. Later that night, after the usual abuse, I silently packed my things when she was passed out. I hurried in doing it, and stored them at the back of my closet so she couldn't see them when she checked up on me. You're doing it, Sammy. You're finally getting out of here; away from all the bitchy girls, your mom, and old memories with Fletcher. I'm proud of you, girl...Complete
Being Saved By The Alpha

"Goodbye Curly Head"
Through thick and thin the Law shall prevail. A new sense of purpose awaits us, children of light, in the land where it all began. The darkness in which we once cowered in fear, now curbed by the might of our endless light. Come, brothers, come, sisters. Let there be peace among the wicked, just as the Law dictates. Peace and certainty is all that you have ever longed for, little angel. A bright, stable future. A roof without holes above thy head. Acknowledgement and recognition of thy existence, feverish dreams of grandeur. Greed born from yearning, treacherous vines of rapacity taint your innocent soul. You seek a future that does not exist. Let thy fingers hold the fragile line between dream and nightmare. Let thy light navigate the path. Shall thee give in and falter, O' land of old, envelop his body in thy unending flame of chaos. Spit out nothing but an empty husk, the remnants of a smile once so bright. Shall thee prevail, O', Great Kazdel, I ask of you, the impossible - take mercy on the innocent. Don't let the radiance dim and don't let the mind turn bleak. Wake, young traveler. Bid thy farewells and burn thy bridges. It's time to say goodbye, curly head. Cross post from AO3. For a shorter and more on-point description, look no further! I had something silly written up before throwing it out in exchange for that wall of text upstairs. It's a little story "about a young, dumb sankta who's been dealt a bad hand at life, looking for his place in all this mess. The pointless search for a better future leads him far, far away from home, to a country forever ravaged by war and misery - Kazdel, the promised land where devils roam free and peace feels out of place." Anyway, it's quite lengthy, but hopefully enjoyable? Slide a comment if you want, I'll give you a tiny kiss on the forehead. Man, do I love comments. (Lastly, to point out, English is not my native language, but I don't think it'll be much of an issue ;3)Complete
