I'm running. That seems to be what I'm always doing now. My breathing is labored but I know I can't quit yet. I tell myself, "Just one more turn," but it's not true. I'll never leave this evil place. Not with who's running it. I turn a corner but then skid to a stop.
Fifty feet ahead is a weeping angel. I backtrack quickly, because I know if it catches me I won't simply go to the past.
He has ordered them to turn us, their prey, into them. That's how Lucy died.
I manage to make it through five more turns before I see another. This time I just stare at it, deciding where to go.
Before I can make a decision though, I feel a stone arm around my neck.
The snapping of the vertebrae resonates around the two old angels.
And the single new one.

A girl named Boysenberry
I had barely made it a step when I say a man walking towards me. He too had a digital clock thing on top of his head too, except his had todays date, September 10th, and his timer read, 00:00:12. I didn’t know what to expect, but I wanted to see what happened when the clock clicked down, so I stood and watched him. 00:00:09, 00:00:08, 00:00:07, 00:00:06, 00:00:05, 00:00:04, 00:00:03, :00,00:02. I didn’t know what to assume for 00, but I watched patiently as he looked both ways and crossed the road, and then, just like clockwork, 00:00:00, and a car came speeding out of nowhere, and knocked the man down. He was dead. Somehow, between him dying and me freaking out, I had an epiphany; I saw when people were going to die. And then I officially had my first panic attack since my mom died. Boysenberry Moonchild Roxburgh is your average girl who happened to get hit by lightening, starts seeing when people are going to die, meets a soul reaper and his pissed off half brother, gets hired by death and is being constantly annoyed by a stalker black cat and her dead mother who she can now see. All while trying to finish high school and save her twin brother Liam who is going to die on their birthday. Yeah, Normal high school girl.Complete

Finding Finn Reed
I've seen the same man die over a thousand times. I've memorized the exact time, and the exact way he dies. There hadn't been a single moment where I wanted to give up, where I decided to just quit. Regardless of how many times I failed, I found him in unparalleled ways. The phenomenon I called Time Hopping all began when Finn Reed died. ______________________________________________________________________________ Melanie Abner has to watch her best friend Finn Reed die countless times in an attempt to save him with her new found ability of Time Hopping. She meets Atticus, another Time Hopper who explains to her everything about her ability, and the truth behind Melanie's past. As convincing as Atticus sounds, Melanie can't seem to accept certainty of Finn's death. As time seems to pass by however, she realizes that sometimes it's best to accept the things you cannot change, and move forward with the things you can. (DISCLAIMER: This is the first book I've written, so it's somewhat of a practice. Either way, I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed writing it!)Complete

The Final Prophecy
Percy Jackson thought he was finally free. After years of fighting monsters, battling Titans, and toppling primordial beings, he had earned a break-or at least as much of a break as a demigod could get. But peace was never meant to last. A new prophecy has emerged, one unlike anything before. There is no warning, no precedent, and no clear path forward. Even the gods are silent about it, or don't know anything about it. The last prophecy nearly destroyed the world. This one probably will. To stop it, Percy must travel to lands beyond the reach of Greek and Roman history, where ancient powers long thought forgotten stir once more. Beings older and stronger than the Olympians are waking, and their motives are anything but clear. Some seek destruction. Others seek vengeance. And some... are there to help. Percy will have to unravel history's greatest mysteries, face enemies no one in living memory has faced, and confront the terrifying truth: This time, they might not be enough. --------------------------- I'm pretty disappointed with the new movies that came out on Hindu mythology (good concepts but terrible implementation) so I wrote my own version. Decided to make it a fanfic of Percy Jacksonfor the heck of it. LMK what you guys think. My first fanfic, one that combines both Hindu and Greek cultures. I will try to be as lore-accurate as possible, but I am open to suggestions. Please lmk. Percy isn't some all powerful being or something in this. He has the same powers as his half-blood self. After all, its mortals that end up doing great things, mainly because of our brief lifespans. All rights belong to Rick Riordan.
Alkaria - unedited
I hear the clanking of metal loud and rigid from behind me, I feel the wind rush past as I sprint, they are still chasing me. I'll be honest I don't know what to do, quite frankly it's hard to think straight right now. I feel my body shutting down as the adrenaline is losing its punch, I can't run any faster. I'm always running, they are always chasing me. I don't even know why they chase me, I don't know what I did and like them they won't say. Do they even know? Am I just unlucky? Someone they picked at random to be the new subject of there torture? I wont let it happen. That's why I'll stay free, never fully contained. I think about the one I love, Charlie. I don't know where he is, I don't even know if he is safe. "Hey! Weapon down sarge, we don't want to kill her!" A guard's shout smacks me out of my train of thought. By this point I've gained some distance due to them having heavy armour. This stops me in my tracks though, I hear the guards slow down too. I stop, I realise, they want me alive. They aren't going to kill me, they don't want me dead. I have a gun, if I just point it at myself what are they going to do? I turn around and I look at all of the guards who have stopped in their tracks heaving in confusion. It's silent, even the wind is merely a whisper, all that can be heard is the panting of everyone on scene. They want me alive, they want me alive. I turn around, towards my chasers. I notice the guards straighten as I do so, instinctively I hold my gun to my neck, one bullet left, not enough for all of them but enough to kill me. They don't want me dead. I look to see all of them freeze in shock before one of the guards takes a step forward. I can't see their face, I can't see anyone's face but I feel like I need to know who this is. Before I can react they raise their gun and shoot. Pain explodes in my leg and I fall, all that running, for nothing. All I see now is black, I can't hear everything but I still feel conscious.
Malevolent Maze// Minho
The drawling series of clicks was only making my heart beat faster. They were getting closer. I took off running again, faster this time. I couldn't stop running. If I did, surely I would die. My throat was dry and my skin slick with sweat. I'm sure I looked like a complete wreck but there was no one out here to judge me. Grinding my teeth I swerved around a bend, only to run smack dab into someone's chest. I bounced off of him, either because he was muscular or because I was just that frail. He wouldn't stop staring at me. "What the shuck is a shank faced girl doing in here!" -x- "Welcome to the Glade." "Let me out and I'll show you how welcome I feel." I growled through the bars of my prison. Maze Runner Fanfic Minho FanficComplete
