I can't believe she's back.
Eris...
She's my friend. She was there for me when no one else was, but she disappeared when I met Joseph. But now she's back.
But I'm the only one who can see her.
Well, she is my reflection. An extension of myself. A better version of me. She's everything I'm not.
Beautiful. Confident. Strong.
Not like me.
Scarred. Timid. Weak.
However, I'm trying to do better.
Things are different now - I'm learning Magic. Chise and I are closer than ever, but she's not letting me live my life.
Joseph... is changing. It's a strange, but pleasant change.
I'm free, but there's so much pressure on me. I can't lose control - my freedom is on the line.
And Eris... she's my friend...
So why is she trying to make me lose control?

Not to hide but to protect, protect people from getting hurt. It consoles and hides away all the emotions I keep at bay. I wear a mask. It is stained black and seeping through all the emotions I hide from you. Distorted and can't make out All these shadows that lurk about. But though the eyes you can see a hint at thy you can perceive. Nothing left... I'm inside out. And now i see that the mask itself... was meant for me. Sometimes you wear a mask for to long that you forget who you used to be beneath it all. In all this confusion one thing holds true, my feeling for you. So when I say I love you. I don't expect to hear it in return. I just want you to know I Love you not for how you danced with my angels. But for the way you calmed my Demons." ~ RobinComplete
The Starling's Secret
SLOW UPDATES *Sequel to 'The Alchemist's Starling'* Seriously - you won't understand the plot without reading TAS first... It has been 4 months since Chisa saw the horrific Flash. Every night, her nightmares show her the same bloodcurdling image she wishes she never saw. But Chisa never told anyone what she saw... Chise questions her, wanting to help - but Chisa lies, she can't tell the truth... How can she? Joseph continues to torment her from inside her head - the place where he can do the most damage. Chisa longs for freedom; freedom from the psychotic Alchemist who's ruining her life... but she's starting to lose hope. She's struggling to carry this burden on her own, but how can she ask for help when she's forbidden to speak of the Pact? However, Chisa is learning how to use Magic - she has the potential to become a great Mage. She has the talent and the passion. The only thing is, she lacks confidence - something she cannot have while Joseph is inside her head. She still Flashes - she has no control over them. Each new Flash disturbs her, but she burdens them alone. Everything Chisa sees, becomes reality. That's how it works... Her entire future is set in stone... ***** "What makes you think the future is set in stone?" He asks me, gazing at me curiously. "That's... the way it's always been. What I see... always happens in the future." I reply hesitantly. He smiles at me, reaching his hand out to cup my face: "You are an Oracle, yet you do not understand your own power." ***** "You know, fear has two meanings. You can Forget Everything And Run; or you can Face Everything And Rise." "What will you choose?" ***** Will Chisa ever be free? Will she ever learn to face her fear?Complete

The Obsessive Villainess Vol. 1 ✔
"Don't touch that man." "Why not?" "He has a beast guarding him." I am that beast; Nora. I woke up as the villain of this book, destined to die after going crazy due to my love for the main lead. "I spent my last life wanting to die, and now that I've decided to survive, this world is after me?" No. I won't die such a pathetic death. I will survive this time. No matter what. But first, I need to survive these main leads. One won't leave me alone; the other keeps fighting with me; another is destined to kill me... Even my superpowers are so weak! Surviving in a world that hates me... Is kinda difficult. *** I got tired of reading about 'special' and 'pure-hearted' heroines so I decided to write about a character I could relate to. Writing gets better after first few chapters. [#1 Angst] [#1 Obsession] [#2 Yandere] [#1 Villain] [#1 Antagonist] [#1 Superpowers]Complete

Never in my life did I ever think I'd be reincarnated. As far as I'm aware, being able to reincarnate means being good in your previous life, and being given a chance to restart your life anew. Although I don't consider myself particularly good, I'm not bad either. I simply existed somewhere in between. Regardless, I never expected to wake up inside a fantasy novel! And not just any novel, but a "dark romance", as my sister would call it. The kind with an obsessive male lead willing to go to any lengths to protect his delicate, soft-spoken heroine. Even if it meant murder. I had read the story before, and yes, it was undeniably cliché. But now, I find myself trapped within said story, cast as the villain, destined to meet my end at the hands of the possessive, and dangerously unhinged male lead. I can't tell if this world despises me or if it's offering me a twisted kind of opportunity. But one thing is for certain: I have to survive. And I need to find a way out. "Things can't possibly get worse than this... right?" - MC. Not edited, so it may have some mistakes. If you see things that don't really make sense, please leave a comment and let me know :) Credits to the original artist of the cover.
The Alchemist's Starling
CURRENTLY EDITING "You belong to me - completely. I can do whatever I want to you, and no one can tell me otherwise. You're mine, Chisa Hatori; my little Starling..." I start sobbing, shaking my head frantically, rejecting the terrible truth. I thrash in his arms, trying to get away. Joseph laughs at my efforts, only tightening his grip until I can't move. The fingers of his right hand find my chin, forcing me to turn my head to the right. My blurry sight is greeted by his cool grey eyes, my stomach churns. He presses his forehead against mine - the mere physical contact has me shaking. "Do you know why the fae call you, The Alchemist's Starling?" I can't answer him... I'm lost in my own emotions. "The fae can sense you," he continues, "just as they can sense Alchemists. They saw your unique, purple locks fluttering in the wind when we went outside together - like the wings of a Starling. Of course, their kind adore you, and loathe us Alchemists. The fact that they cannot have you, makes them sad. Of course, because they saw you with me - they recognised that you were mine." Someone help me... Save me from him... ***** Chisa Hatori has had a hard life. Her father left, she watched her mother die, she was torn away from her sister and placed in foster care. Chisa is gifted; she has the Sight... and she is a Sleigh Beggy. However, she views her blessing as a curse, seeing terrifying monsters wherever she goes. Chisa has forgotten what it feels like to be loved, she doesn't want to live... That's when a certain Alchemist appears in her life... ***** *Sequel: 'The Starling's Secret' is now in progress 😊Complete
Reincarnated As The Villainess Of An 18+ Webnovel
As I was about to leave his arms hugged me tightly from the back. He breathed on my neck roughly as if craving for me like a madman. "You can't leave after making me like this!" He growled. "I'll leave when I want to" I answered calmly so as to not awaken the beast inside him. But in response he only hugged my body tighter like I was the most precious jewel in the world. "I can't do that! I don't know what I'll do myself if you abandon me right now! I go crazy when I don't see you even for a few hours and you want me to let you go??" I was at a loss of words. This man was completely insane, but I had no room for complaining... Because I'm the one who made him like this. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ An ordinary woman is gets transmigrated to the 18+ webnovel she was reading. She is reborn in the body of the cruel villainess who brainwashed the villain to love and obey her. To make matters worse she dies at the hands of the villain at the end of the novel. Determined to survive, she tries to free him from his brainwashing. But something is strange? Why doesn't he change even after the brainwashing is undone...? ***Story and cover belongs to me.
