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...

Oliver, leave me. I have to go inside", I said making a failed attempt to free myself. "What is wrong with...", and the rest of the words got lost as his lips covered mine in a hungry kiss. He held me even closer and I closed my eyes. His mouth so warm and the caress of his lips soft. He tentatively tasted with his tongue as I opened my mouth for him to explore further. Sooner the kiss turned more passionate and I led out a soft moan. I knotted my fist in his shirt from under his suit pulling him closer to me. He groaned softly sending down a wave of current over my body. Suddenly I realised what was happening and I pushed him away and covered my mouth with my palms. ********* He is rich and famous.

His Phoenix |Severus x Reader| by DannyRose28
15 parts Ongoing Mature
|<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>| -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. |<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>|

"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. Everything is fair in love and war And this my friends is a war of broken hearts. Also on Amazon #19 romance 12/9/2020
All The Queen's Monsters (The Queen's Slave, Book 3) by herlittlenightmare
30 parts Ongoing Mature
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.

WARNING: this book includes blood, manipulation, cursing, and mature topics (not smut please don't think that). Feel free to click off if any of these make you uncomfortable. ~•~ Something about it was so mysterious about this cave, and I wanted to know more. I entered the cave and saw a red crystal sealed in ice. "Woah." I whispered. The crystal glowed and the ice shattered. I jumped back and fell to the ground, watching as the ice broke completely. My eyes widened and I looked at my hands. "Did I do that?" I asked, but before I could answer, I heard a guard shout for backup as they had heard the ice shattering. I quickly jumped up and stashed the crystal in my pocket before leaving. I crept to the cave the following day, putting the crystal back into the remains of the ice pillar. As I walked away, the crystal fell, causing it to break into a million pieces. I jumped at the sudden noise and stumbled backwards, my eyes widening as a black smog formed around the crystal. "No, no, no, no! Frick." I desperately tried to grab the remains of the crystal, causing one to cut my hand. "Ow! Shit." I whispered, looking at my bleeding hand. "Tch, tch, tch, poor child." A demonic voice said. I looked up and saw that the black smog had two red eyes and a wide, sick smile that was dripping with venom. "I- who are you?" I asked, backing up. "The one who can help you out of here." It said, stretching out a hand. I looked it up and down and before I could answer, its hand plunged into my heart, causing me to scream out in pain.

EPIC: The Musical ~ The Repentance Saga

9 parts Ongoing

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.
