The good guys always win. The good guys always find love. But what about the bad guys?
Shipped away for bad behavior. Treated like a child. Juniper knows she isn't a good person, but isn't that the fun of it? So why must she endure ridiculous punishments?
Well, she may find a way out of it on the high seas. Best not to tell her parents.

"Large men surrounded her as she struggled to free herself from the net. No, no, no.
Juniper's back hit the side of the ship and she was ready to throw herself overboard when a large cutlass slammed into the wood in front of her, trapping the net in place. The men all around went quiet, and the Princess went still, eyes widening.
"Hm... I thought you were a mermaid," a smooth voice purred.
Juniper could only stare at the big sword inches from her bare feet.
"But mermaids don't have legs, and they don't carry daggers." The pirate crouched in front of her, and she immediately knew he was the Captain. But he was surprisingly young, with a shock of black hair that was wild from battle, and dark, intelligent eyes, which were scanning her rather closely.
"Congratulations, you identified the difference between a human and a mermaid." Juniper hated how rough her voice was as she spoke."

Dealing with Pirates
"It's a bad idea dealing with Pirates....but dealing your life?" he asked raising an eyebrow at me. I bit my lip not replying He shrugged sitting down "Why cross something like that with cheaters and liars, love?" He won me over "It's not about living, it's about living free." I answered. He looked me in the eyes and my insides twisted. He finally nodded licking his lips "Okay, but if ya want me to help ya, how do ya know I won't cheat or lie to ya? Why trust me?" I chuckled walking to the door and as I grabbed the door knob he added "You are risking a lot asking fur me help." I looked over my shoulder at the cheater and liar staring at me "I don't have anything else. All I can do is just....improvise the rest of the way." He smiled showing his golden teeth "That's my favorite way." he said "I'll help ya. But you're hear warned! You're dealing with a pirate!" "I've dealt with them my whole life, Jack." I whispered walking out the door. I know this story may seem short with only seven chapters but I made sure to make the chapters longer than my other stories for you guys! Thanks and enjoy.

New Horizons (A Pirate Story)
"How dare you bring me aboard this ship without so much as telling me what you are?" She yelled. Kincade let out a smug grin, one that infuriated Astryd even more. She took a few more steps toward him so that they were mere feet apart. He looked down at a doubloon he was holding and slowly turned it over in his hands as he spoke. "I saw a troubled woman in a sailor's pub, obviously hiding from the royal guards. Surely you must have gotten yourself into a sticky situation. And you don't expect me to assume what you are?" Astryd fumbled for words. What was he getting at? He lifted his head to look her in the eyes. "You're a thief and now a sailor. You know what that makes you, sweetheart?" "I am not a..." she shouted, but she stumbled at the last word. She pointed her finger in Kincade's face and whispered, "pirate." -------------------------------------------- I would like to acknowledge Thompson Editing Services, who is responsible for being my editor and proofreader for this book as well as an amazing writing mentor.

Secrets of the Sea
My heart, which had been fluttering nervously in my chest, dropped to the soles of my feet. Familiar blue eyes met mine. In my dreams they were steely and cold, haunting, different from the dark amusement that glinted in them now.

The Monster of Collincia
Note: The men in this story are not mine (except for one/two characters). They were born from the mind of a fellow Watter that goes by the name of GoodnightGore who I will refer to as Dally from this point on. To support the original parent, go and read their "child" called "Come To Life". Seriously, do that. Dally is awesome as hell. ><><>< With their eyes wide open, they stared at what was being presented before them. Both were lucky their head wasn't being held down since their stomach turned. Charlie had provided them a bucket for them to puke into since neither could decide which way to turn. They were the princesses of Collincia after all; one must treat his prisoners like the royalty they are. "Do you like what you see, your highnesses?" Charlie cooed turning their head back to the horrifying scene before them. "This is what you and your brothers called 'The Monster of Collincia'. I remember that day you banished him from the kingdom, Princess Rainger. Didn't he kill Prince Psi and Princess Cho as well as every... single... royal... guard... in their kingdom?" "Why are you showing us this?!" roared Cho tying to get her side free. "What do you seek to achieve with showing us a hollowed-out Joseph!?!" Charlie smiled as he walked away from the princesses to a curtain revealing a robot charging. "Without The Monster of Collincia and his powers or... heh... 'Joseph'... as you call him... no one will be able to stop me from conquering every single kingdom in the world!" That's when it dawned on the princesses. Oh, how wrong they were in the past about Joseph until now. If they could, the princesses would be staring into each other's eyes with regret as they recall everything that happened in the past. If they had known, things would've been different.Complete
Dark mind
It was like we were playing a sick game of chess, trying to guess each others movement's and at the same time, worrying about our own. I didn't have a choice and was forced to say "Game on bitch." -------------------------------- Life for Juniper was never easy, even as a child. Her family was complicated, and she herself has always suffered from mental illneses that made her days hard enough as it was, not just for her but for her drug addict skitzophrenic father and bipolar alcoholic mother. As she kept growing up, the world around her became darker and darker until, at the age of sixteen, a man with a dark shadow and distorted, spine chilling voice infiltrated her nightmares, with the promise to bring her agony and pain if she did not do as he said. Now, Juniper is forced to act fast, for her life hangs by a thread. She must uncover the truth of her past, look past the lies of her parents and her own childhood, and fill in the blanks whilst dealing with loud voices in her head, shadows that follow her every move, and a man who she must obey in order to save her sanity, her life and herself. The question still remains, who is this strange man who threatens her very existence? Will she be able to stop him before he kills her, before he traps her in the darkness forever? Will she whistand the torture, will she handle it all? Or will she snap, will she bend and break like her father did, and his father before him? Because, after all, we are all fragile humans, there is only so much we can take. -------------------------------- * Contains swearing, may be triggering and is undergoing mayor editing . * Best Ranking: #1- Skitsofrenia #2- AlluringComplete
Lillian's Mercy: King slayer
I woke up in a daze, unsure of why my body felt so stiff, so sore. I winced as I threw my legs over the side of the bed, and again as I stood up, pain flaring from every muscle in my body as I made my way to the polished mirror beside my wardrobe. I gasped at the sight of the bruised and battered girl in front of me. The memories from last night flooded my mind. It was my birthday. Father had invited several high class guests to the event. He expected me to begin courting. The man he had introduced me to was a plump old man. I had refused adamantly, his years against my fourteen churned my stomach. Unfortunately, my father didn't take my refusal well. He grabbed me by the arm roughly and dragged me into the attic-my bedroom. His beatings were getting worse. At least the last time i t hadn't taken much effort to hide the pain. This time that wouldn't be possible. This time, there would be no hiding it. This time the pain was too much. I whimpered as I headed to the door, but it was locked. It seems my father had predicted my state. Rage and anger burned through my veins as I slammed my fist against the door. One day I would learn to defend myself. One day I would escape this wretched castle. One day I would no longer be bound by the Caspian people. One day I will no longer be their princess. "I will get away from here, and you will pay for what you've done old man." I vowed before slamming my fist against the door again. "I will be free." I huffed as I crawled back into the bed for some much needed rest.Complete
