The shadow of my Dad is casting over my face, blocking the harsh summer sun from getting into my eyes. He's wearing a blue trucker cap and a pair of black sunglasses. His huge grin is taking over his whole face, eyes are crinkled under the dark frames and I can see them from my position on the ground. He's sitting up, with hands and arms stretched out behind him supporting his weight against the yellow grass. "Do you think you wanna fly one of those someday day, bug?"

"Dad, I could never fly one of these."

"Sure you could, you can do anything you want."

"Mom wouldn't let me."

"She can't make you do anything you don't want to, bug."

"I know, but I think I want her to be proud of me."

"You think?" He glances down at me. The movement causes the sun to hit my right eye.

Squinting, I look up, "Ya, I think."

"Ok so let's say if you don't want to make your mom proud, would you wanna fly one of those?"

"I think I would love it."

    Just as the words escape, another jet wooshes overhead. I grin up at the underside of the large plane. Carefully watching the wheels recline back into the body and the engine kicking into high gear. Planes are pretty predictable and the act of taking off is like a crescendo. It builds its take-off, hurdling itself down the runway almost to the edge, until you think it isn't going to take off, instead crashing into trees. Right before the edge, it tips its nose towards the sky and tantalizingly lifts itself into the air.


::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Recently grounded Joe 'Phoenix' Keery, is a pilot instructor for this years class of pledges. He's short tempered, rude and selfish. He only looks out for himself, and the one time he didn't, he learned his lesson to never try that shit again.

My father brought out his long glinting sword and plunged it into my mothers stomach. It seemed the second time was more painful than the first. It was like the reassurance that nothing was okay. That my mother really does die, that my father really is the bastard I know him to be. There's no escaping my future anymore. Growing up is the only way out. I pushed Mrs. Havisham away from me and fought out of Damon's iron grip. I stalked towardsmy father and his evil, hysterical grin. He opened his arms as if to hug me. I raised my sword and plunged it deep into his stomach. His face turned from a grin to shock and he looked down at his stomach to find the sword I was still holding implanted in his flesh. He looked back up at me and I pulled the sword out sharply, mercilessly. His face turned into a sick grimace which made waves of horror pass through my body. He fell to the ground just in front of my mother. A single tear ran down my cheek. I looked down at my mother and father, both dead, at my hand. Both bleeding because of a stupid peice of silver. Fighting. Fighting for freedom, for her life and for her friends. Fighting is all Jessica can do anymore because if she doesn't fight, her life with slowly crumble around her. Jessica was an ordinary girl until she came to Dean House but then again I suppose irony is sweet. She found she was a witch and a powerful one at that. She finds she has to bring down her father no matter what it costs, an arm, a leg, a life, even when it's her own mothers she can never stop. Fighting is the only things he knows now and a fighter she is.

''Let me help you, ma'am,'' a man who was probably the flight attendant said. Damn. Ryerson Reeds even had handsome flight attendants. The man stooped a bit, leaning close to her and taking the seatbelt from her hands. He was holding eye contact and Lyla felt herself grow amused as she stared back at him. He was going to start buckling her up before someone cleared their throat loudly. They both looked up to meet Reeds' blue-green eyes. ''I think I can help my wife, thank you,'' he said. Lyla's eyebrows shot up. The dude barely talked to her and he was already getting possessive? How does that even add up? Reeds stopped taking the two parts of the seat belt in his hands, ''you couldn't do this without help?'' he muttered to her savagely. Lyla glared at him, before he could even get the belt close to her she took it from his hands and snapped it in the right place. She gave him a sickly sweet smile and Reeds simply scoffed and walked to his seat. The rest of the plane ride was quiet. One would think after that small exchange they would start having some kind of conversation. Wrong. ___________________ This isn't a cliche story where the girl falls for the guy by a simply little gaze. She's stubborn, she's maybe a little relatable, and she's assertive. But she didn't think she was for him. Lyla Vell; the name itself oozed the confidence which was her, and Ryersoon Reeds? Two words to describe him: Arrogant and plain painful. And when these two personalities are in an arranged marriage. Shit about to go down. ___ This is my first Wattpad story. Hope you'll like it! This entire story is NOT mature. Only the last few chapters are and you can still finish the plot without reading those few mature chapters. For those who are hesitant to read the story because it is tagged mature, I'm promising you only the last few chapters are mature, you can read chapters 1-19 without any disturbance of smut. That was for those who're hesitant. Love you. DON'T COPY MY WORK!

I sit down on my bike looking around the school parking lot. Listening to music, I stand up begin to walk through the student-less parking lot. Honestly, it's not like I meant to be late. My music cut out causing me to hear a whistle. I stop in my tracks and pull my headphones down to my neck. Turning around, I seen a group of men with one guy who just smirked at me. "You new here beautiful?" one of the guys asked. "What do you think Einstein?" cocking my brow. "Ohh. Challenging? I like." he says walking towards me, about two inches away. "Really?" biting my lip, as he continued walking towards me. He reaches out and grabs my hip, "Mmhmm," smiling down at me. Swiftly, I grab his hand, turn him around, kick him right above the back of his knee, and pushes down so he's on his knees in front of me in a position of which I could brake his arm, "What a shame, 'cause personally, I don't like fuck boys with various STD'S." I look at all the men in the group who had their jaws dropped, all except for one, "Touch me one more time, and I'll brake your arm in two." I stand and kick his back so he falls on the concert. "Anyone else?" they stare at me blankly. "Didn't think so." When fuck boy tries to get up, I take my foot and slam him back down. Looking back at the boys, I say, "Later boys." Then, I turn and leave. ~~~~ Truce Mane is a girl who recently moved to New York with her youngest niece and nephew along with her uncle Mike. Truce went through many things as a child. She still went through them. Her mother blamed her for everything. She would get into Street fights. As in, she would fight in a dark alley with whoever she could. Sounds bad, huh? Wrong. *** Dante Kings is the most feared gang leader across the world. While he does have his fuck and Chuck's, he's been looking for his princess. He vowed that when he found her, she'd be his and he would treat her like a queen. When the spit fire moves to town and believes he's finally found her. Has he?

"Look, we're running out of time here and if you don't let go now to grab my hand, we're both going down," he pressed, eyes flickering between yours. "And I don't know about you, but I'd really prefer to stay alive tonight. So for both our sakes, you're going to have to take a leap of faith here." "Okay," you finally said, your voice soft, almost a whisper. He widened his eyes, quickly nodding to show you it was alright, that he'd catch you. "On three?" he asked, not wanting to rush you but knowing he had to if you both were going to make it out alive. You gave him a single nod. He hadn't even made it to two before you let go, firmly grabbing his elbow. Your clammy hands nearly slipped, causing you to yelp, but he quickly seized your hand, his fingers slotting through yours with a secure grip. With a strong pull, he lifted you up, the momentum sending you crashing onto him on the cement, safely away from the edge. The wall cracked and crumbled, falling along with the vine into the boiling liquid below. His arms encircled you, holding you firmly against his chest. "I got you," he murmured, letting his head rest against the hard ground as he looked up at the sky, his hands gently cradling your head. Your face nestled into the crook of his neck as you tried to steady your breathing. "I got you." // You've always lived for the dramatics, always patiently waiting for something, anything to change your life. After the earthquake that nearly tore Hawkins apart, you selfishly thought your moment had finally arrived. You didn't believe in coincidences. Hawkins didn't get earthquakes, and for one to just happen at such a huge magnitude was extremely bizarre. Something more had to be at play, and you were determined to uncover it. You didn't anticipate, however, just how much it would impact your life, or that it would all stem from meeting a certain group of people. *This is a Stranger Things Fiction *Steve Harrington x Female Reader

"Ms.Nottage" "Ms.Nottage" "MS.NOTTAGE" "One day I'm seriously going to kill her" I whisper to myself as I got up and looked Ms.Noble in her old wrinkly caked up face. "Ms.Nottage speaking how can I be of service to you today" I smiled a innocent smile that didn't reach my eyes. "Is there a reason your sleeping in my class?" Aren't teachers suppose to have sense at least common??I couldn't help fixing my face in disgust as she folded her arms pushing her breast up. "I'm positive that whatever excuse I give I'm still going to get detention." I stared at her blankly. I smirk as I watch the vein on her neck pop out almost as if its beeping. "Why do you have to be such a bitch?" I immediately notice the attention of the whole class on us. Turning my head slowly towards the bold speaker I said "Why do you have to be a nosy nancy?" The speaker rushes to his feet ready to attack his prey as if he didn't know I'll always be the predator. "Temper Matthew temper" I said shaking my head at him watching as he's held back by fellow classmates I have yet to know the name of, not that I tried. "We wouldn't want you to end up in a coma again now would we." "You know one day someone's going to beat you to a pulp." Shaking off his 'friends' when they realized he's calmed down all having a seat except Mr.Bold of course. "And one day your going to drop down dead" As if I'm a witch a bullet flies through the wall into Matthews skull and what do you know he does drop down dead. Looking down at his body and up at everyone's shock and disbelief face I say "Likes like I'm going to need a lawyer" And as if on cue the sounds of screams and bullets occurs around me.This is going to be a long day.

{Highest Rank In Romance: #20- 18 April 2017} "Th-this isn't allowed..." I mutter at the ground, blushing insanely, and not daring to meet his eyes. "Do you think I care?" he scoffs, and scans the dark, empty back hall for students, though nobody ever comes here. "Why are you scared of me?" he notices I won't make eye contact, and lays a finger on the bottom of my chin, lifting my head up to look at him. He's gorgeous, but extremely intimidating... "I'm-I'm not..." I choke out. He slams me up against the wall suddenly, at the exact moment one of the faulty lights above us flickers, and I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding. He presses his lips to my neck lightly, and I let out a soft moan, as much as I try to resist. He smirks at the effect he has on me, and runs his fingers down my side, pinning my wrist against the wall with his other hand. He sucks on my neck, and I bite back another moan, but fail, resulting in it being louder than the last. If we're caught, I'll get expelled! I have nowhere else to go! "If I took you back to my place, right now, " he whispers in my ear, and I feel his hot breath on my cheek, sending a chill down my spine. "How long do you think it'll take, before the neighbours know my name?" ________________ Ariana Robinson is a nineteen year-old orphan, who lost her whole family in a house fire, which she happened to be away from at the time, so she was raised in an orphanage.

"Why are you doing this? Why did she put me up with some slut?" he snarled getting in my face. "You are no fit to be a Luna. I should just reject you right now." My face was blank as I looked at him. "You have no idea how wrong you are," I replied. "And go ahead and reject me. It'll not phase me one bit. I had not planned on joining a pack or having a mate." With that, I started to walk away, before I turned back and glaring at him. "Also, get to know me first. You might be surprise as to what I can offer." And with that, I walked out of Starbucks, upset that I didn't get pa- I mean... laid. At least... I smirked pulling out my mate's wallet from the back of my skirt and looking at it. I did get his money. ______________________________________________________________ Skylar Ross, mainly known as Sky, hasn't had the best of pasts. To begin with, she is half human and half wolf. Her father, the Alpha of her old "pack" was mated to a human and had her. "A mistake" as her father puts it. "Not worthy to be the Luna of her pack". So what'd he do?

At the age of five, she ran away with her best friend, not wanting to stay there anymore after her mother had been killed. With the help of some rogues, the two females had mastered fighting at a young age. And by the time they were 8, Sky started a group of rescuing those that were abused, just as she was. She thought it'd be better to have a life as a rogue than have a life of slavery. Now, at the age of 18 and 8 people later, Sky is about to get the time of her life as she enters the Dark Shadow Pack and the Alpha Drake Shade, the youngest running Alpha. With him and her group, her whole life changes as she fights to be the Luna as her father had thought was not possible for the half-breed. A/N: I suck at descriptions. -.-

HIGHEST RANK- #1 in Crush #2 in Paranormal For a moment he just sits there watching me with amused eyes, a smirk playing on his lips. Suddenly he stands up and walks forward until he's only inches from my body. Our faces so close that I can actually see the small sliver flecks in his eyes as they shimmer. "Wha-what are you doing?" I stutter my voice coming out as a breathless whisper. He breathes out. His breath fanning across my face, it smells of peppermint with a hint of orange. I shiver at the feeling. Sending a sensation that's equally as phenomenal as it is terrifying down my body. He leans in just a little closer so that our noses are almost touching. I stare up into his eyes, unsure of what to do. I feel frozen in place, like I can't move, like maybe I don't want to. "Time to seal it with a kiss" he suggests with a smirk. 🔹🔹🔹 Bethany Hibbler has a secret that she has kept from everyone. For 17 years Bethany has never told anybody that she can read minds.

Before, Beth never believed in the paranormal world, but the word impossible seems all too possible when Jake arrives. This book is full of mind reading, a new set of vocabulary words, including: Book of Sacrimboniamat, The world of Eribiss, Eron, & Necrif, a lot of mistakes on Beth's part, some paranormal weirdness, confusion, palm facing stupidity, sarcasm, embarrassing moments, and a whole lot of comebacks. ➖➖ "Oh my freaking God such a good book!

"Where did that come from?! What are you even talking about?!" I screamed at him. "I know you talked to Ryder about your situation. " My eyes widen and I yanked my hands out from his grasp. "I hate you..." I growled and starting to turn around to walk back to class. " You don't mean that... I love you, goddamn it! " He shouted that loud that the students around us stopped what they're doing and looked at us. I stopped walking. Before I can make a move to turn around, he beat me to it and slammed his soft pink lips against mine. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Meet Jade Williams, typical fat, nerd, and loner you will meet in the school, but she's not how you depict it.
