It wasn't supposed to go so wrong. 
Her world wasn't supposed to implode. 
Evil was supposed to stay evil, and the good, good. 
Girl's named after gems weren't supposed to hand out hope like lollipops. 
None of it was how it should be. 
And yet...

She is the embodiment of hope and effort. When she's brought into place filled with professional assassins', brilliant minds, exuberant personalities, and their secret agendas, she can't help but be drawn in. The potential for adventure, meeting people filled with tragedy and humor, pursuing the answers to deaths - her parents' among the deceased -, and passionately helping a crowd of unique people in any way she can. When the cards are dealt out, she hopes she was handed the ones with as many answers as the questions they ask. 
 This is the story of a Ruby, shining and bright, illuminating the darkest nights in a universe of secrets.

Tried For Error by CBNellnebach

"Previously known as... Scarletstroke: Girl assassin" * No hesitation * No killing of children * No killing of innocent people * No emotions * And defenitely, NO falling in love ~ Those are the main rules code named Scarletstroke, former assassin Scarlett Gonzales lives by. She is a highly-trained, highly-precise and highly-dangerous killer who considers herself the same as any other businesswoman, doing 'just her job' and convincing herself that she is dealing with 'just her target' rather than a person. She succeeds in contract killing better than any known assassin that ever existed and successfully ignores all feelings or emotions, knowing that they tend to make the "job" not go as planned. So when a new contract comes in and the mark is a certain gang leader that caught Scarlett's eye, she couldn't resist venturing deeper into a world filled with illegal activities on a personal mission to find out why he has a price on his head. Although, what she finds in that world isn't quite what she expected. Now, torn between duty and passion, Scarlett must decide if she pulls the trigger or if she becomes the target herself? Who knows, maybe he might be the answer to her deepest desires. Because her next target: Cayden Carlisle. +++ The culprit took in a deep, calming breath. "You may as well shoot me now, but just know that I am still going to kiss you." By the time he grabbed her waist with one hand and her wrist, connecting to the hand holding the gun, with the other... she was lost. Completely gone. She never stood a chance. His smell, his mouth, his soft growling noises. They were more than enough to disarm her. "I finally figured something out about you." He whispered, pulling her closer, trying to meld every part of her to him. "You display all your emotions through body language. In this case, your hand is betraying your mask." Every word of his was chosen for maximum impact. No wasted syllables, no extra breaths. Just facts.

The Race by MoonSnowCloud

[Completed] [Young/New Adult Action/Adventure] - - - What would you do if you were forced to participate in The Race, a competition where death is a possibility? If you refuse, you'll die. You have no choice but to try your best. You meet your team, you receive your special job, and you train for two weeks. Then, all too soon, The Race begins... Will your team take home seven million dollars? Or will you die trying? - - - "Two elite teams of eighteen year olds are being formed from people around the world. Each team is made of members with different skills and different backgrounds, all extraordinarily talented. They will each be given a different set of clues that lead to one end goal: seven million dollars. The players will be hurt, tested physically and mentally, possibly even killed. This is The Race." - - - Excerpt: "Now then, I don't expect us to play a get to know you game but, I mean, if we are going to be relying on each other throughout this thing, we need to at least be friendly. How about everyone says their name, occupation, and where they're from?" There was a pause for a moment as everyone stared at this pink-haired girl with an English accent. "Alright, fine. I'll start. My name is Maybelle, I am a chef and as you should be able to tell by my accent, I am from London." "I am Aralee, I am a singer and I am from Italy! I'm so excited to meet and become friends with all of you." "I guess I'll go next," the model-like girl spoke. "My name is Naomi, I am from Egypt and I am a model." Guessed it. "I am Cami, from Canada. I'm a barista," spoke the red-haired and green-eyed girl. "Lark, Russia, musician," said the blonde. "Asia, Hong Kong, and I am a certified genius." "Oh, uh, my name is Harper. I am from the U.S. and I am a dancer."

Elemental (Robin x Reader) by lydiaofthefallen

COMPLETE "Four years ago we met for the first time. Do you remember?" "Right! You gave me a rose. You were so nervous, you'd think you'd never talked to a girl before." I laughed, "but you wre still so nice to me, you helped me so much since I was just rescued. . And the rose had a ribbon tied around it. I wore the ribbon in my hair a lot after that, I still have it actually. Thanks Dick, you're a great friend." "Yeah, friend." (Y/n) (L/n). Rescued by the Justice League from the Brain when she was 7. Raised as a hero. What she was, a mystery. When the new team formed she was ecstatic to see her old friends again. And her childhood best friend Dick Grayson, Aka Robin. But when she has to face who she really is, can Robin and her friends show her the light, or will the darkness overcome her? I DO NOT OWN ANYTHING RELATED TO OR FROM YOUNG JUSTICE RIGHTS GO TO THE PROPER OWNERS!

Forever Fighting | ✔️ | [previously Espionage: double-cross] by WinterWillow901

Guns, revenge and buildings to bomb, what could go wrong? ✮ He came in, gun held out in front of him in one hand while the other was resting on his hip where a sharp dagger gleamed in the light. "Come on out little girl, why not make this easier for both of us. The agency you ran away from just want to have a little talk, that's all." She scoffed internally. Yeah right. Then the footsteps ceased. She peeked to the right, then to the left. Neither direction showed any sign of the intruder. She looked up in front of her and gasped, the glint of steel and smell of death as overwhelming as it was adrenaline inducing, exciting. "Boo." ✮ Murder, accidents, assassinations. Call it what you will, it's all the same, all has the same life breaking, mind shattering consequences - be it for the victim or the bystander. It had shaped Alex in a way no one should be. Broken down and rebuilt into the perfect soldier, one who had the power to change the world, to fight battles that would either make or break the carefully constructed vision we all live in. The only small, minute, really unimportant detail - it's pretty hard to get into a government classified site when you're 15 years old and have a rag-tag team of double-crossing back-stabbers behind you. Not to mention the threat of a world war and ghost hanging above your head. Armed with sarcasm, wit, and a hell of a lot of aggressive intentions, it won't be too long till a sticky situation is all that's ahead of you. Sometimes, running head-first into a situation isn't the best idea. Instead, you gotta play a game. A deadly game where either you have all the pieces on the board, or you have nothing. [previously known as Espionage: double-cross] Thanks for reading :)

Rolex Ruby by HazelMason

'Staring in the mirror, she looked at her blurred face. Tears threatened at the corners of her almond eyes...' Everything in Ruby's life was about to change; sending all she knew and loved into disordered chaos... A story of social challenge, courage and the importance of friendship. Rolex Ruby uncovers the tragic story of poverty; the drastic effects of unemployment and disability as well as exploring the social dynamics that 12 year old Ruby has to adapt to. Just a little background... This is only a short story which I wrote for my Extended Project Qualification for college. The qualification required me to find a subject of interest and to use my skills to either create a product or write a report. Having always loved writing, I decided to write a book. Rolex Ruby was then researched extensively before being written. Once my first draft was complete, I and my parents (Andy and Julia) edited it thoroughly so there *fingers crossed* shouldn't be any mistakes - though don't hesitate to point anything out! I painted the covers and bound the book myself. I also had to write a report and do a presentation to gain the qualification along with the 12000 word story. I am on for at least an A grade for it and I really hope you enjoy reading it here. It is available in hard copy or ebook through Amazon - links on my profile. Thanks so much for your support, Hazel x

ZSEN by nathanielpoirrier

(FINISHED WRITING, BEING REVISED!) An only child, by the name of Nathaniel, has a very unfortunate life. Unpopular, bullied, and outcasted by everyone at school; even his own parents didn't want him! He's miserable... At least that was until his eighteenth birthday where he has the most bizarre encounter. A break-in at his own home from an organization that holds a secret from the entire world! Now, he attempts to find his life's purpose, coming across many friends as well as enemies, many obstacles, great pain, deep love, and important life lessons. It's up to him to decide whether or not he's the one in control of his own life. !!!CAUTION!!! IF YOU ARE ONE TO READ BOOKS BY THE LAST CHAPTER TO SEE IF YOU ARE INTERESTED, CHAPTERS TOWARD THE END OF THIS BOOK CONTAIN HUGE SPOILERS THAT MAY RUIN OR ALTER THE DESIRED EXPERIENCE AND ENJOYMENT AND IF YOU STILL WISH TO READ THE LAST CHAPTER I SUGGEST CHAPTER 53! Info of my writing style and this book: • This book is written from the first-person point of view. Everything he thinks about; everything you read, will be the exact moment of everything that's happening. When Nathaniel gets cut off and interrupted, his thoughts will be interrupted as well. • I'll put seven periods to indicate a change in the scene; to show that time has passed since the last scene. • Bolded names are important characters to Nathaniel and the story • This book contains vulgar and sometimes erotic descriptive language. • This book is targeted toward a young adult audience.
