It started when my step mom sent guards after me, claiming I was a “traitor to the kingdom”. I know it’s a little extreme for breaking a simple rule, or at least, what I thought was a simple rule, but she is the Queen and a very dramatic one at that. I still don’t think I really did anything that deserves an ax to the head or a rope to the neck; all I did was leave the castle! Of course, I’m not supposed to. Ever. But I’ve been locked up in a room with very limited company ever since she married my father, King Henry III, who left the kingdom shortly after with a third of our kingdoms armies to defend a long forgotten ally. This happened over seven years ago, when I was nine. He and the rest of the nights have never been heard of since. The maids have told me he knew he had to leave, and that’s why he married the Queen, so she could watch the kingdom and take care of me, the Kings only child.

Her Heart Or Her Kingdom?
I stand there glaring at my husband. My Prince. His brown irises swirl, deeply glaring back at my own. "I suggest you listen to me, my princess. I should be in charge of this, it is too dangerous for a woman. I don't want you to get hurt." I hiss crossing my arms against my heavily embroidered half-sari, "This is my kingdom, just because I married you doesn't mean you automatically become King and rule over everything. This threat is targeting my kingdom and I am its Queen." I look seriously at him along with my heart pounding about how my people are going to react. I glance back at him looking at his quiet and reserved nature. You've changed a lot from our childhood. I have too, I have become refined, royally royal and trying to be as perfect a woman as possible. Still, I'm glad you are my husband. He breaks the silence with an icy voice, "Fine, do as you wish. But I will be there every step of the way whether you like it or not. Your. Majesty." Genre- Romance/Adventure *contains blood, violence and hopefully adorable romantic moments* Hope you enjoy!

The Masquerade
"Leave." It was a simple word, spoken softly but with fury. "You are dismissed." As I turned to leave, Father grabbed his tea cup, and clenched it. Father never mistreated his tea cups. I had made him mad. No, the emotion was more than mad. It was absolute hatred. I had only made him this angry once before. Years ago, a younger version of me watched as broken pieces of porcelain drifted down the river behind the castle. Watching, he knew a severe punishment awaited him. I knew a severe punishment awaited me. ~~~ Prince America, next in line to the throne, oldest of four. Everyone knows his name. But after a mysterious event 2 years prior, America doubts himself, and with more arguments with his father, his self-esteem is at an all time low. When he meets a strange man, America's life is flipped upside down. Sorry I suck at descriptions lmao Slightly based off of "Royal Guard" by @Miriorite but it's mostly my own thing. I don't own countryhumans and also obviously this isn't historically accurateComplete

"Abort it." "Excuse me ?" "Abort that thing inside of you!" He shouts in my face. I put my hands on his chest, trying to put some space between us. The man didn't even budge. "I'm not aborting my baby!" I feel strong hands wrap around my throat, and the next thing I know, I'm being lifted off the floor, fighting for air. "Listen here, you bitch you will abort that child, and if you don't, I'll personally kill you both myself. I'm a man of my word. Do not test me." He spat dead calm.

Broken By Mafia
He wasn't always like this... was he? Was it a specific moment that led to where we are today? Was I too blind to see through his façade? Was I blind enough to overlook his sociopathic, sadistic tendencies? No answers, I have no answers. But it doesn't matter anymore. Neither of us are the same people we once were. It's too late for him and I. We can't turn around from the grave sins we've committed. He's the monster I loved once but now, he's the spawn of Satan himself. I was once the girl he supposedly loved but now... I'm just an object of his torments. "You really think you'll be able to leave me?" The sinister look in his eyes keep me alert. "No," I answer truthfully as the blood dripping down my skirt. "You will keep me alive till my heart bleeds for you. Until you break me completely and that's when I'll take my last breath that takes me away from the man who created hell on earth for me; and that's when I'll leave you, forever."Complete
Shadow's Curse
They took her. That's the last thing that burns in my mind, at least the most important thing that can come to mind. Everyone knew her, she was a sacred gem to the royals, her name was Tori LightningFlame. A dutchess soon to be married to Prince Spectre. That's how we all knew her, not how she used to roam through the walls of the city without permission (although I'm sure I only remember that), not how she would dance around the ballroom in her father's shoes with her friends until dawn. Everyone simply thought of her as a kind and generous person who would someday be our queen. But one day, Spectre thought differently, all I saw was when she was binded and screaming for help on the back of a horse driven carriage, guards yelling at her to quiet down or she would be burned. There was much talk arising in the lands after that day, some say she was taken and burned to her death miserably, others who speak the truth in our quaint town say she was taken away and cursed upon, making her a monster and could only thrive in her own world. Then we only believed that she was out of our lives and it was against the written laws to speak of her unless given permission. Even today, no one has spoken of her to me. And no one ever will. Possibly. When I was younger I heard most of the talk about Tori and Spectre being a stable boy, but it wasn't enough for me, I wanted a better job, I wanted to hear more about them, I wanted to be important there. So everyday for the past five years I've begged. And begged. And begged my father to let me at least attempt to become a squire. Ever since my tenth birthday I had hoped and wished for the day he would finally accept my plead. Every beck and call of mine was given in every form possible. Until one day he finally agreed. The day of my fifteenth birthday. It was an extraordinary day, one I could never forget.Complete

I made my way to the kitchen as usual and opened the fridge and grabbed a drink. My mom was usually in here,preparing a snack for my brother and I but today she wasn't. To think of it,it was too quiet around here I then proceeded to go upstairs to my room as I know my brother has soccer practise and my dad is at work. I walked upstairs and passed my father's office and I heard some talking I then heard laughing,a woman laughing to be specific "Scott stop!" She laughed once again And i knew that,that was not my mother's voice. My heart broke when I realised my dad didn't actually love my mother. He was a cheater and after this i lost all respect for him. I stood outside the door for a good 10 minutes debating whether I should storm In there or just keep quiet about the whole thing. The laughing and talking went on and I decided it would be best if I walked away. Tears threatened to fall as I went to my bedroom. I actually looked up to my father. He was my superman.

This fairy tale-like little girls' entire life comes falling down when she learns about her disturbing past and the lies she has been fed since she was a kid•°Complete
MY STEP BROTHER
I didn't mean to see it. It's his fault for leaving his door open while he was getting changed. I've seen my stepbrothers gorgeous, ripped body before, and have been half in love with him since he moved into my house. He's cocky and sexy and when he calls me princess I want to punch him in the mouth. But I've never seen a d*ck that big, and now that I have, I can't seem to think of anything else. I want him, but crossing the line could risk the happiness of our new home. Harrison would never make the first move, so I guess I'm going to have to find a way. And the masked Halloween party at his best friend's house seems like too good an opportunity to pass upComplete
