"Cheers, mate," I thank the man in front of me as I receive a kebab in return. I begin walking off to find a spot to sit at in dear old London. Always rainin', always depressin' with you.

I set my eyes on a seedy bench near a dark alley. Definitely not preferable, but I don't fancy standing about. I prop up my umbrella and take a seat.

I bite into the juicy kebab in my hands and start pondering why Yvette would ever want me here. Maybe she needs my advice on something important. Maybe she needs to move her ugly wardrobe out from her bedroom into the bin. Or maybe...

Nah, canny be that. I'm just haverin'.

Elizabeth MacMillan was always loyal to her longtime friend, Yvette Lacroix-Wilson. Even with the Scotswoman being the stricter, more reasonable yet more hotheaded of the two, Eliza nevertheless accompanied her optimistic friend to adventures across the world in search of forgotten artefacts.

After their most recent journey a year ago which left Yvette gravely injured, Eliza wanted nothing to do with any of her other half's work life. She hoped that her friend shared the same thinking. However, Yvette called her one day and asked for Eliza to come visit her home.

The minute she arrived, she wished she hadn't.

Nairobi Dreaming - Complete! by dani
28 parts Complete
University friends Luisa and Kay reunite in Nairobi after a year apart to do some feel good volunteering but their friendship and the trip begin to unravel the moment they meet a strikingly handsome British philanthropist and a Ghanaian entrepreneur. In short order the donor funding the project that has brought them together is revealed to be rich and cruel, her interest in coming to Kenya to "help" routed in deeply disturbing ideology. Meanwhile, Luisa must confront her reasons for maintaining her friendship with Kay, her status as heir to a nearly incalculable fortune, her feelings for a man who seems a little too good to be true and the tragedy she left behind back in California. ** A/N This story is a work of fiction, but it's based on things I saw and heard while working in international development for five years. It's my attempt to find the complicated middle ground between those who would idealize international development and those who would condemn it. It's also a place for me to deal with a difficult friendship I had with a friend who was suffering from mental illness. She's since passed away and I'm not sure I ever really got over it. The story isn't at all done so as I'm writing I'm figuring it out too. I've set the story Nairobi and in Kisumu, which is far west of Nairobi. I've picked the title partly because of what Nairobi represents. Nairobi is a throbbing, innovative metropolis situated in a continent that is still viewed very narrowly as a place in need of help.

If I cannot be loved I'll be wanted. "There was basically nothing that the scientists had not altered and played with, changed it's appearance or structure. Directed electricity through it to made it move or to restart a heart, by using machines and generators. The difference was that the Gifted only needed some power of will." "The air in the rooms had grown heavier and hotter, Eliza couldn't breathe. She stood outside the bathroom, in the corner, where the hallway opened to the huge living room where the party was the most alive. Someone had gotten up to the coffee table and was dancing themselves to death. In the middle of the floor there was a honey blond boy with pearls around his neck and five people glued to him, unbuttoning his shirt, kissing his collarbone. " The weight of being expected to do great things had dragged Eliza and Kal down their whole lives. Whilst trying to find comfort to their hurt they manage to unravel truths that were hidden for a reason. And when every hand around you is soaked with unknown blood, who can you trust? The Scientist is the first book out of three to tell this story of young love, power, morality and madness. WARNING! Book rated K16 This book talks about heavy topics such as depression, de@th, child abuse and sèx. It also views over ideologies and religion, politics and other often very different feelings provoking topics. This is not a thing to comment negatively about, you have been informed. Other than that I hope you enjoy the story and (this is Wattpad so it might not be a surprise but) just so you know English isn't my first language and I'd be happy if you can inform me of some misuse of words so I can get better. Remember to be nice :) I OWN THIS STORY AND ALL IT'S RIGHTS. PLEASE REMEMBER THAT PLAGIARIZING IS A CRIME. (hey that rhymed) (hey that too) (enjoy the book, i love you :)

Everything she has done was avoidable, but today she went far. "LISTEN TO YOUR WHAT?" I yell at her loudly and she flinched. "How much a phony person you really are? How you can't stand seeing me happy and finally having some good friends? That you missed messing with my life so you set me up with something worse?" I took a deep breath, to control the urge of killing her. "Those days are gone," I stated calmly. "I'm not that little girl anymore with whom you were best friends with and used to mess up with. I would rather be strong and called a bitch than fragile and called weak." With that, I turned around to leave. But, Great. "Way to ruin my exit the door is jammed." Diana avoids drama, but it seems like drama doesn't avoid her and so does her past. Would she ready to recoup the blow she will get?

The banging starts again but this time a lot louder. I can hear the girls screaming up stairs. I pick up my phone and dial 911. "Hello this is 911 what's your emergency?" "There are a bunch of wolves outside my house. I think they have rabies or something I'm not sure." The banging gets louder and I can feel my face getting wet from the tears. "Mamm did you say wolves are there?" "Yes Yes there are wolves about 10 of them out here in my front yard. I need help!" I hang up the phone and sit on the end of the stair case. I close my eyes and start praying. Something I haven't done in a while. "I have faith, there is a god. I have faith, there is a god, I have faith, there is a god." I repeat over and over. The glass breaks and I start screaming. I stand up and try to scramble up the stairs. The door comes falling down and there are about 10 wolves standing in front of my door. A woman emerges and walks toward me. She snaps her fingers and the pretty brown wolf is in front of me. Right there by my face. "Ridanna you know what to do." Her teeth is wrapped around my neck and she sinks them in. I try to scream but it's hard to. At first it hurts but now the pain no longer exists. I feel like there is no such thing as pain and I feel light as if I can float off the Earth. Fine as hell white boy with a pro-black activist fall for each other.

The Roseblood Clan. Three thousand years worth of magic cursing through their people's blood. Long before the Bennetts, before the Travellers, The Other Side and the Ancestors, there had been the Roseblood clan. Witches forged from the dying breath of a dragon in the centre of Scotland. The blood of the dragon was the legacy of their people. Yet, stories and history could be twisted by the victors of the many battles that had plagued the clan. A war between kin had destroyed the legacy of the Roseblood Clan. After a thousand years, their rule of magic had come to a halt. For over two thousand years, a story had been spun. The story of the evil siphoner. The abomination that had ruined their line. Yet, the truth loomed, threatening to reveal the true reason as to why siphoners existed. What their true purpose was. Were they abominations, the bastards of the magical world or were they meant to take power from those undeserving to ensure it was not misused? Only the victor of the battle gets to tell the tale. Athena Flora Roseblood was far from a victor. Being a firstborn Roseblood had cursed her like many others before her. Firstborn women in their line were not meant to meet their first breath of air, they were destined to die, to be sacrificed within the womb to help empower their coven, yet for the first time in two thousand years, a firstborn woman had come screaming into the world. Athena was never been meant to be born. Her blood haunted her from the second she took her first breath, her house divided thanks to thousands of years of lies. Lies that may never come to the light of day. Fear was a powerful totem and after two thousand years of lies, it left Athena trapped within the cage created for her. The abomination, the bastard of nature, the Roseblood Siphoner. Nothing to the world but a mistake and a monster.
