As the bodies dropped behind me, only slowing me a step for each strike, I knew I was going the right way. Even as the last of them hit the dirty warehouse ground below, the only barrier was but a pane of glass: a flimsy barrier broken by a wiry frame and the berserk force that fueled it. The ground was unforgiving, hurting just as little as the window through which I’d left, so on I went until...
Time seemed to slow as she appeared in my vision- beauty as I’d always known, hidden under pain and open wounds.
Tied to a rotten post mid-river: she was finally within reach again! My senses dulled to anything else- I heard nothing but my heart pounding in my ears; saw nothing but her eyes as they fluttered open; felt naught but the ropes as I cut her free, and her lips against mine as relief washed over us...
and her body going limp...
The smoking gun dropped by the riverside, the shooter melting away before I saw, but I knew despite it.
Her blood already soaked what rags I had left, and I rendered speechless... I could do nothing but hold her closer. Carissa’s fingers traced along my chest, with searing pain, like a hot brand. Looking back later, I was right to think I could never feel so low again as she whispered through pain,
“To like is to... want... but to love is... to give... your every...thing...”
Tears hot against my face- crying not from the loss, or even as the adrenalin made me ache, but from her throwing that back in my face... I clung to her into the night, until all heat had left us...
When Gods work against us, all we have left are the Atlantean dreams.

Everything was gone. I sobbed, my clothes ripped and I was bleeding, but it didn't matter. I had to get to her, to them. Had to find- Struggling to stand, I grasped my side, biting back the scream that wanted to escape. I looked down at my hands and red coated them, blurring together until I couldn't see anything anymore. I squeezed my eyes shut, forcing my panicked breathing to slow, until I felt in control of myself again. It had been so long, I thought as I turned my peeling and dry face to the sun, my fingers shaking as I struggled to make sense of them. For so long, I'd been a wolf, cursed. All that I was, or could've been had been reduced to nothing but an animal driven by instinct, bloodlust, thousands of lives met their ends at the edges of my razor sharp claws. I had no idea where I was, how much time had passed. My fingers touched something hard in the sand, and a jolt of information went through me as Queen Azalea's sword, gleamed as I pulled it free. My heart started to pound as sun glinted off of the blade, reflecting back at me. I nearly dropped the metal when I saw myself. I took a second look and saw white hair, caked with dirt, and yellow eyes, blue veins sparking in their depths. All at once, I remembered who I was. I remembered why I was here, how much time had passed. I am Azalea Marie Albescu, The Queen Alpha. A false queen sits on my throne, controls what's mine. I would have to make my way back to my pack, my family, and my home, if still there. I would rise again, as I had before, and reclaim what belongs to me. DISCLAIMER: AS WITH MANY OF MY STORIES, I DO IMPLICATE SITUATIONS OF SEXUAL ASSAULT/ABUSE. Not in any way do I intend to glamorize this behavior, I write about these delicate and painful situations because I myself relate to them and will always fight for survivors, including myself. Thank you for your understanding and if you are in any way uncomfortable reading these stories, I encourage you to look elsewhere.

"How dare you!!" His stare and cold voice made me step back with fear scared of what he will do "You clumsy woman!! Keep those disgusting hands of yours steady or go die somewhere!! How dare you hurt her!! Do you even know who she is!!" "Alessandro..stop..it's alright.." Andrea pleaded from behind but he continued "Lowlives like you don't even deserve to step into a place like this bit we were generous to offer you this job....but You being an ungrateful brat couldn't do one thing right.......Hell you can't even walk properly how come you were hired for this job!!" Endless tears were flowing down my cheeks as he continued to reprimand me "Alessandro..please...stop" "No Andrea I will not stop..can't you see what she did.....You are too innocent and generous... you don't know girls like her.....they envy you and when they can't compete against you they engage in these dirty tactics .....bloody disgusting people...." I looked up into his eyes ....my eyes asking him if this is what he thought of me... I was never this low... How could he even think I did this deliberately! "Oh my god...your hand..." Andrea said looking at my hand I looked down to see my entire hand turned red with blisters everywhere. I felt numb earlier but now as I saw my wound I started feeling the suppressed pain I was controlling. My tears betrayed me not just because of his words but also from the pain of my burn. Andrea rushed towards me with a worried look on her face "Maria..bring ..the coolant hurry..we need to call the doctor.." She was something else So pure and caring My eyes lifted to see Ando He had a expression I couldn't decipher His eyes were fixed on my burn but I couldn't tell if he was worried or not. But soon that expression was gone as he turned around and left. I looked at his retreating back wondering since when did he become so heartless.

In Shadows of Night
I woke to a sudden breeze invading the warmth from the heavy blanket that caressed my skin. Here, alone with my thoughts, the still, calm quiet in the atmosphere is almost painful. I feel suffocated in the clingy, static air. In quiet, still moments like these, I can almost feel Him. I don't know who "Him" is, but I can feel his presence. It's almost calming, especially on fearful, anxiety fueled nights. Usually, he was the strongest when I had a nightmare. The nightmares weren't as common now, but, right after everything happened, I was having them every night. I'd wake up and swear I was drenched in blood, my eyes and lips sticky, my nose filled with the smell of iron and fuel. After everything, that's when Him first came. From there, he just never left. I can usually sense when Him is near. Today, though, his presence is stronger. I can almost feel Him next to me, weighing down the mattress. Some nights, I roll over and imagine how he looks, envision his smile or the sparkle in his eyes. He's never there and I'm left clutching to the thought that he exists, staring into empty air. Tonight, though, I swear I can reach out and touch him. Extending my hand gently, I sweep my hand out into the darkness and meet an inexplicable warmth. A scream rips from my lungs as hands cover my face and two icy blue eyes stare back at me, daring me to speak again. A soft cloth caressed my nose and mouth before I felt myself fade into bed.

His Phoenix |Severus x Reader|
|<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>| -Pain. Pain was all that was left. My blood brothers watching me being swept away. Wet , thick, furious, waves groped onto me. Refusing mercy, forcing gasps in and out of my mouth. My body drenched, soaked, my body shivering with the pain already inflicted. My petite baby wings struggled against the strong current. "YN! Come on! Grab my hand-" The eldest of the flock went to reach out, his shaky hands stretching far as they could go. With a simple shove, I couldn't pull myself above the water. Fire rose, and it wasn't happy to leave. Wings flying above, as my people shouted. Getting themselves to safety. We were still too young. Too weak and our wings couldn't function, we were just flightless phoenix's. The 3 ran along the river, shouting, screaming for help. Trying to get our parents but they were just too focused on the war. "Avada Kedavra!" A feminine voice pitched with a psycho laugh screaming at the end. My uncle fell with his wings limping. Joining me in the ocean. "Uncle!" I cried out. My hands gripping onto him as his body was still floating on the water. Sobs screamed out, our home tree falling. Death eaters everywhere. The sight of falling Phoenix's traumatised me. It was a blood bath. My brothers tried to reach out once again. But the worrying dark witch, chased them. All that I could do. Was hold onto my uncle's lifeless body for support. Crying into his chest. However something broke out. A feeling, something unlocking in my mind. With anger, pain, sadness, my eyes gleamed at the death eater. Pain flickering, staring her down. She looked shocked. Surprised even. Stepping back, instead of killing me. She ran off. I was the first Phoenix with magic. |<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>|
EPIC: The Musical ~ The Repentance Saga
Odysseus told me I wasn't allowed to leave the ship, to not set foot on the lands of the Underworld, but I couldn't help it. It was just laying there, glistening under the light of the glowing souls, and it seemed to be calling my name. "I'll be right back," I mumbled to no one in particular, before climbing out of the ship onto the cold plateau. Every step I took closer to it, its pull became stronger. I reached for it, my fingertips nearly touching the cold metal hilt of the glowing sword, when a vaguely familiar voice called my name. -=~=- She knew that sneaking onto a ship of the king's fleet was as dangerous as a mere mortal challenging Zeus to a battle. But she longed for adventure, dreamt of a life where she could waltz with death, hoped to one day feel alive. But then the crew found her, and the moment the captain laid eyes upon her, she knew her life had changed forever.
THE SACRIFICE (FULL NOVEL): A Dark College Romance (18+)
I stiffened as his hand slipped down and down further, pushing into my pants. "What are you doing?" I demanded shakily. Max just held onto me from behind, pushing it down until he reached my cliterous. He started stroking. Pleasure swam down below, filling me to my core. I moaned, arching my back. His fingers went down further, slipping inside me. I moaned again, throwing my head forward. He chuckled low, the sound worsening the heat covering me. "You're fucking wet. Look at this." He pulled out his fingers, showing me how they were covered in gloss. I warmed even more at the sight. I dropped my head back to his neck, still moaning. He just nipped my ear. "Are you letting your predator do naughty things with you. Are you a naughty girl, Eve?" I shook my head. I winced, my brows creasing as the warmth of pleasure started boiling. He could clearly tell I was about to come, and he pulled away. I whined in protest, dropping onto the ground when he stepped backward. I then gazed up at him, my breaths hot and heavy. "Eve," his smile was dark, sadistic, "if you want to come, then you have to earn it."
