I know I will never be picked to be tested. I cannot be picked. I will return home.
"Go, Gale, It'll be fine." My legs began to move without my permission, leading me away from my friends and up the stairs of the platform, to stand next to my father. To stand where Orsella had just died. The crowd applauded wearily as they did every year, but today I did not clap with them."
But now I am here. And there is no going back. This test is not what I thought it was.
"You will be taking a test today," he informed us. I furrowed my eyebrows, waiting for him to explain. "It will not be on paper." My heart seemed to plummet in my chest as an eerie feeling pumped through my veins. "There are 24 of you here today." He smiled, looking straight into my wide eyes.
"By the time we're done, there will only be one."

Crisis of Temptation
"What, you don't like playing with fire?" I ask, raising my eyebrow. He looks away, smirking and shaking his head. He pushes his tongue against the side of his cheek. He leans down to my ear. "You don't know what playing with fire is," He whispers. His lips touch my earlobe as he says those words, low and smoky. My breath hitches as I feel his fingertips lightly drag up the back of my thigh; stopping at the hem of my skirt. He backs up, smirking at my reaction. He spins around and walks away.

PASSION : Darker Than Love Book 3
He squeezed her cheeks together, he asked, "What will you get by going away from me?" His hand got tighter as he was pinning her to the wall with the help of his other hand securing her waist. He whispered, "Lavina.... What will you get?... why so prideful? hu?" Her eyes only showed pain, he knew all of it. But did he caused all of it? No he didn't? Zavier grabbed her face tighter, her painful words showed how much damage he was causing, his hands soften, he cannot take her pain. She whispered, "LEAVE!!!... I don't want to see you..." His eyebrows furrowed, he got this after searching for her like mad dog. He lost her, and when he got her again, she just rejected him like he was a dog. She screamed, "I hate you!!!!... Leave me the f*ck alone!!!" It damaged his pride, hurt his love. He pressed a cloth on her face, her eyes got wide on his sudden action. He whispered, "Now... Lavina Morris.... You are going to be mine.... pay for what you did to me...." She tried to fight back, but he had captured her well in his arms, he whispered embracing her and she fell into sleep, "I will take everything that belongs to me." She fainted in his arms, still trying to fight, but his arms captured her tighter so she won't slip away from him, from his love from the fate he decided for them. Her cheek landed in his chest, his arms engulfed her tighter as he whispered, "Love you... forever...."

HR - #8 in NewAuthor #29 in Humor and #144 in teen-fiction. I stopped blind walking when the cold breeze hit my skin stroking the hair off my face. I looked around and realized that we were in terrace. He pulled me to the edge of the terrace. I stopped to look at the beautiful sight in front of me. The city lights looked really alluring with the night sky. A perfect contrast of life and death. I heard a thud sound and looked at him siting on the edge of the terrace with both legs hanging in the air. He patted the place next to him indicating me to take the seat. I hesitated, it was risky sitting on the edge. I have never done that. He raised his chin to look at me. "Trust me," He said and I found myself sitting beside him already. I hung my legs freely, it took me a moment to settle and when I did I gave a big smile. It felt good. ------------ Not everything about Gianna Vertes is normal.
