Our world is different then your world, at least it is for us. 

To most of us...the world ended hundreds of years ago, Who knew scientists were right about overpopulation, when the time came we had to make a decision...either reduce population or everyone parishes. 

All those years ago the government split us up into 4 groups..."The Center" where all the wealthy people live at the top of the world, "The Commons" where you live if your working for the wealthy but can barely get by, "The Last" is simply where the poor live and people without hope to live get sent to die, and finally "The Outskirts" No one above The Last know of our existence, excluding the government, We might as well be our own land. 

We live free and listen to no one, we fend for ourselves, and we thrive on our own. That was until a teenage girl thought wasn't careful enough sneaking around and got caught. 

Running into a boy who will soon change the way everyone lives. I'm Rose and this is my story.

And he was in the middle of it all. I realized that the girl I was doesn't exist anymore. Although my life doesn't make any sense now, I know one thing. I wasn't living until I met him. __________________ "YOU ARE MINE AND MINE ALONE!!!" He yells at me as his grips tightens around my wrist. I wince from the pain but he doesn't notice it. "He better keep his hands off you or there will be consequences, this dagger is the only thing that can kill him for good" He whispers in my ear and laughs cruelly. "What are you going to do?" I ask. My voice nearly cracks. "I'm going to kill him" He says laughing and takes up a dagger. "No, please, no" I whisper. The tears roll down my face. He throws me down to the floor, then walks out with the dagger. He slams the door shut, leaving me here all alone crying on the floor in pain. {A stunning cover made by @bitchmafia} {HIGHEST RANK #18 in vampire} {HIGHEST RANK #14 in kindness} {HIGHEST RANK #1 in secretary}

REDEMPTION by Nyctophile_22

2nd Place in The Dragon Fire Awards 3rd Place in Science Fiction in the Tricolour Terrenial Awards. " No one was truly your own in this world. Everyone, in the deepest parts of their hearts, cared only for themselves. And even if true love did exist, you can never truly understand someone. You can never know what is going on in the other person's head. For all you know, the person can be looking at you with loving eyes, full of bliss, but really they are battling their own, inner demons, keeping secrets buried and telling lies to cover up. That's what people do. That's what everyone does. Keep their demons buried and tell lies to keep them buried. And people love so that they can heal, so that they can find relief from continuously battling their demons. To have someone to share their burden with. And havoc occurs when the demon is stronger than your will, when love isn't enough to keep the monster at bay. " A girl, torn between her heart and mind. A boy, set out to avenge his parents. A pair of twins with only one, deadly goal in their life. A country ruled and oppressed by a power-hungry mad man. Will they ever be free?

The Identity Crisis by TheProgressWriter

I have forgotten what it feels like to be free. To have a voice. I can't say anything, or else they might catch me. My parents would never forgive me. I'll be arrested. Maybe even killed. Probably killed. We didn't open our eyes in time to see the train come barreling down the tracks. It crushed our freedom, burned our self-worth, and now we have to pay the price. All because we didn't see it coming. The American Constitution doesn't apply to us. All of the activists were silenced. And now it's all coming back to bite us. We'll just have to bite back harder.

DyverCity by Fabtabulous22

⚠️ Warning!!⚠️ ⚠️ Contains mature content such as smut, violence, language and drug use⚠️ "Life is a cruel lottery-misfortune rains on all, while fleeting blessings tease only a few. For people like me, the darkness clings like damp rot, and any flicker of light snuffs out before it can warm the soul." "You might be different," he said, voice soft. "There's goodness in you." I laughed, a bitter edge cutting through. "After the wreckage I've left behind? No, I'm no exception. And neither are you." In a world crawling with criminals, where mobsters pull the strings and masks hide every face, beauty is just a lure for the unwary. The most breathtaking places? They're the deadliest traps. Kaleb Amato, Ridgewood High's golden quarterback, reigns with swagger and a mind sharp as a blade. A bright future gleams ahead-arrogant, untouchable. A hero? Hardly. Mia Langley, a firecracker with a tongue like a whip and a mind in splinters, storms back after two years in a brutal boot camp. Sweet? Innocent? The idea's a punchline. She's home now, but DyverCity's first rule has slipped her mind: don't let its seductive shimmer fool you. This city's a Venus flytrap-get caught in its jaws, and you're not getting out alive.

"W-What do you want?" I stammered, my eyes not leaving his gaze on me. "I want to prove you wrong." he smirks dangerously and speaks with his husky, deep voice. He took another step towards me and I took another step back making me collide with the wall. He hovers over me, his chest mere inches away from mine. He kept his hand on either side of me, caging me in his arms. He smirks dangerously and says, "That your body doesn't crave for my touch." He always does this, he intimidates me and then thinks I die for his touch. I would never allow his hand near me. Again. I grit my teeth and said "My body doesn't." He leaned closer to me, his hard chest pressing against my hardened nipples and whispered near my ear "Then why are you so nervous, rose?" He kept his mouth near my ear and his hand came on my bare legs. He slowly trailed his big, rough hands, making his way under my skirt. My breath hitched and he stopped mere inches from my core. No matter how hard I try to deny his touch, my body responds exactly the way he wants. My spine arched and my eyes snapped close. He breathed near my ear and whispered in his husky voice filled with sins, "No matter how much you deny, your body always craves for my touch, wife." ✤✤✤ Devansh Raichand, CEO of the top fashion label who only thrived for finding his father's murderer.

The Bonds of Love (A Covenant Fanfiction) by letherbeseen

"There are certain things in life you can't always explain. The reason why people die, or live. Those who were lost are now remembered and found. Why the bonds of love and friendship are stronger than evil. Why one of your friends would sacrifice themselves knowing that they would die. It's all part of one thing: love. Love is the greatest thing of all. Love is what keeps us together through bad and good times. Love is a part of who we are... love DOES exist. And nothing can change that, then, now or near future. The bonds of love conquers all. Love... the greatest thing anyone could ever ask for. This is the story of the girl who's life was forever changed by four guys she never expected to meet. The story of the girl who thought she'd never find love. This is her story." --- Chapter Ten - The Bonds of Love 15 year old Katia Jiners never expected to meet four guys who would change her life forever... and certainly never expected to fall in love with them either. NOTE: I DO NOT OWN THE COVENANT IN ANY WAY! P.S. PEOPLE ARE APPARENTLY STILL READING THIS. TAKE IT AS YOU WANT. IT'S LAUGHABLE AND HORRIBLE AND PROBABLY A PARODY BUT ENJOY. I REWROTE OR ADDED NEW SCENES :)

Exile: The Book of Ever by JamesCormier

Centuries after the Fall, the United States has been wiped away. The crumbling remains of the great American empire are home now only to savage, lawless tribes and packs of ravening Damned-the twisted children of the apocalypse. Most of those few who survived humanity's destruction spend their short lives in a violent struggle for survival. But some light still flickers in the darkness: the Blessed of Bountiful live in seclusion, relying on walls both physical and spiritual to protect them from the Desolation that their world has become. Among them are the Saints, those few men and women born with superhuman abilities that the Blessed see as gifts from God. The violent apostate tribes of the Northeast Kingdom have always been a danger, but up until recently its small size and the vigilance of its people have made Bountiful an unappealing target. As attacks on the community grow harsher and more frequent, however, even the steadfast Blessed are forced to start preparing for the worst. With her home's very existence threatened, seventeen year old Ever Oaks, a Saint with the power to heal, is forced to make a difficult choice, one that may come to define her people's future... Exile was a semi-finalist in Mark Lawrence's Great Self-Published Fantasy Blog-Off (#SPFBO). Fantasy Faction said it was "extremely cool," and Bookish Lifestyle called it "more than just a story, a journey and an experience." When I'm asked about it, I often describe it as "X-Men meets The Walking Dead." In addition to reading it here for free, you can buy Exile in e-book or paperback on Amazon.com.
