Tell me..." Came the guttural request. "What can one do to escape a life-altering mistake? A blunder, an error, an unforeseen flaw in a previously brilliant plan..."
"Nothing." The finality of the spectral words fell somewhere hollow. "Once done, it is best to cease to exist."
It couldn't be. Too simple... To escape the consequences of her terrible deed, to die...it-it was too easy a path to freedom. Yet... "Cease to exist?" came back the weary enquiry.
"Mistakes in this world are fatal, to mind and soul." Answered the ghost. Or was it a spirit? Latasha wasn't so sure anymore.
"All you are is a bloodthirsty murderer. Left to rot, to decay. There is no coming back from that." Bone-chilling, spectral fingers crept up her trembling jaw.
Bright, red lips peered out from the darkness, blood-red in colour, leering in celebration against the dark ceiling of the cobbled dungeon.
"Now,... Child. Ask anything." The lips coaxed, singing a familiar tempting melody.
"Three years...I want it gone.."
For the consequences of her mistake weren't as simple to evade through phenomena such as death or cursed vows...
"Everything. Everything gone."
No, Time. She was much crueller than that. Until, dusk had festered in her heart, spread across her earthly body, and infected her eyes black. She would not rest. Until she was forced to succumb to the demons and bloodthirsty souls. Darkness. And Her. Her. Her.
She must try.
It was worse than selling her soul. It was even worse than ripping out a certain red-headed boy's heart.
But, She couldn't give up yet.
The curse of greed and guilt entwined... Her punishment.
And, Only three years she had...to escape.
"Wipe it all away"
-----
Here, our story begins with a desperate husk of a woman determined to burn the truth of her past and escape the sins...of another.
Time never lies.
Can she?

"Bloodline of Shadows"
A Harry Potter AU inspired by J.K. Rowling's universe Prologue: The Forgotten Twin The wizarding world knew of Harry Potter-the Boy Who Lived, the Chosen One, the child who had miraculously survived the Killing Curse. They whispered his name in awe, hailed him as a symbol of hope, and watched his every move with anticipation. But no one spoke of the other one. Roxana Potter had been forgotten. The night Voldemort came for them, the Dark Lord had turned his wand upon both Potter twins, yet fate had only spared one in the eyes of the world. Harry had been the one cradled by destiny, while Roxana had been cast into the shadows of obscurity. Dumbledore had placed them both with the Dursleys, but from the very beginning, the difference in their treatment was clear. Harry was mistreated, yes-but Roxana? She was invisible. If Harry was a burden, she was a ghost, drifting through the household without acknowledgment, without affection, without a place. She had quickly learned that love was not meant for her And Harry-her twin, her only family left-despised her. "You should have died instead of our parents," he had once spat, his emerald eyes burning with something Roxana couldn't name At first, she had tried to understand him. The pain of losing their parents had left wounds too deep to heal. But as the years passed, she realized it wasn't grief that drove him to hate her It was something deeper. Something neither of them understood By the time they turned eleven, Roxana had stopped trying to fix whatever had broken between them. Instead, she embraced the silence, the bitterness, the cold distance that stretched between them And then, the Hogwarts letter came The world she had only read about in stolen books would finally be hers. But Roxana had no illusions-Harry Potter would walk into Hogwarts as a legend. And she? She would be no one Being invisible had its advantages. And sometimes, the ones forgotten by the world could become its greatest threat.
Fortuna Verto
Third Book of the Body - Celesi Veil Trilogy A girl's luck changes when her world changes upon itself, sending her back and forth between a world she knows and another that shouldn't even exist. Working with her parallel self from that other world, the two must adjust to their alternate form when visiting the other's world, as they search for a way to escape the chains of misfortune they are bound to. **{While this story is the conclusion of the trilogy, it is also fully capable of standing alone in its own light, taking place on a completely new world far from Celese that returning readers will be otherwise incapable of recognizing. However, it is highly recommended to leave the final "Trilogy Chapter" until the entirety of the trilogy is completed.}** _____________________ Arcs (Much like the first book): * Arc - / Chapter 0: Teaser * Arc 1 / Chapter 1-10: Breaking the borders of existence * Arc 2 / Chapter 11-20: Lost between uncertainties * Arc 3 / Chapter 21-30: Learning secrets from the void * Arc 4 / Chapter 31-40: A coordinated approach to chaos * Arc 5 / Chapter 41-50: Unmaking undesirable futures * Arc 6 / Chapter 51-60: Exploring the expanse of the self * Arc 7 / Chapter 61-70: Beyond the scale of worlds * Arc 8 / Chapter 71-80: Collision of historical futures * Arc ∞ / Chapter ∞: Endlessly beyond eternity (Trilogy Chapter)Complete

In one swift movement of my hand I reached behind Sapphire's neck and released her hair from the low ponytail it was in. She gasped at my action and looked at me with feverish eyes. I thought I saw the colour gold flicker in her eyes, for a few seconds before I lifted my hand near her face and tucked a strand of her wavy hair behind her ear, before I said: "I fell in love with you, the first second I saw you reading that Tolstoy book in the library." She looked up at me, her warm beige skin looked like it was glowing now and she said with pure sincerity in her eyes "per sempre, in ogni dimensione, per sempre in ogni vita, solo tu fino al mio ultimo respiro amore mio" It meant (Forever, in every dimension, forever in every life, only you until my last breath, my love) I snaked my hands around her waist and pulled her close to me. Before kissing her the way I wanted to all this time, i looked into her eyes and said "Me too my love, me too." My first novel is about soulmates. And reincarnation. About, how many bodies a soul has to live in before they finally become their true selves. And before they finally get to be with their soulmate. It's about how love has so many faces. It's about how we never know what roads life will force us to cross. And what emotions we will be gifted to feel. And the things we're blessed with that sometimes we neglect. It's about giving yourself the time to grow and evolve before you give yourself to someone completely. And it's about not to take the love you have in your life for granted.Complete
At First Sight
Not your average rejection story. Usually the boy does something stupid - and keeps being stupid - the girl forgives and forgets and gets pulled in by the mate bond. Ignoring all his transgressions because 'the bond said so'. Not this time, sometimes fate gets it wrong and sometimes you grow out of things; like love. Vivian Clark is a mostly normal girl, as normal as you can be when you're more than eccentric mother is the head of a coven of witches. Something that; according to her, is a long standing tradition and more people need their apothecary than Viv realizes. While Vivian practices magic and identifies as a witch, it's more of a religion than a lifestyle in her eyes. She doesn't know there are very real powers laying dormant in her bloodline, and very real creatures that not only lurk in the night but often lurk on her doorstep. Trevor Erikson; a hot shot jock, a playboy, and Mr. Popularity, he could have any girl he wants and often does. Going from one to another and enjoying every minute of it. Despite the fact that he's a werewolf and an alpha's son, he could care less about fated mates or finding a luna for his pack. Which he'll eventually take over at the end of the school year. He doesn't take it too well when his fated mate shows up unannounced, and he does what any asshole would do. He rejects her at first sight. How will the two manage with a rejection floating between them for the remainder of the school year? ************************************** A fast-paced romance with mature scenes, all based in a fantasy world. If that's your vibe this is your story to read. This is my second work and I had to get it out of my brain cause it's all I could think of while writing a completely different book, there will be slow updates.

She is Fatal to Death (Standalone Story)
She's dead by the third chapter. Okay, it's a bit more complicated than that. Okay, it's A LOT more complicated than that. Renata wants nothing more than to pay her bills through her mildly boring office job and figure out whether she is still in love with her best friend. The latter half of that desire is just a sneak peak into her messy life-and it's only getting messier. Considering the paranormal world she is about to dive head first into, she will come to realize that figuring out her heart may just be the easiest part of this journey. Well, the endless supply of supernatural hotness in this story may beg to differ-but that's besides the point. Either way, it's gonna be a killer time ;) EXCERPT Chicken tacos it is. Right as Renata grabbed the ingredients, she turned to put them next to the stove, where a clean, plastic cutting board awaited. But as she moved, she was confronted by a stranger, an intruder, standing mere inches from her. Before she could scream, he was on her, slamming her against the fridge. Her back flashed with sharp pain. Her eyes pricked with fear as she drank in his uncovered face. Deeply tanned skin. Ruby red eyes-ruby red eyes? Thick, slashing eyebrows. Flat, broad nose. Buzzcut. Handsome. That was as far as she would go in complimenting him considering this guy held a knife to her throat. When he spoke, his voice came out like thunder. It held a thousand threats and a thousand secrets. It held promise of pain if provoked. "If you scream," he warned, mouth pulled in a slight snarl, "this ends quickly." She didn't dare nod against the blade. He noticed and amusement lit up for just a second in those devilish eyes. Oh, whoever the fuck this was, she already hated him. Considering her predicament, panic was the most prominent emotion coursing through her at the moment. "Good." He removed his hand "Now you're going to answer my questions." °°MATURE AND EXPLICIT CONTENT OF ALL KINDS, AND I MEAN ALL KINDS°Complete
