What is wrong with me? ********* "Nicholas, try to understand. What if she comes back?" "She isn't going to..." he says frustrated.

I will then..." Anger surges through me, tears fill my eyes and I run from there as fast as my heels could take me and hide in the ladies room. ********** [word count: 100000-105000]Complete

My dear king, save me. (Aslan fanfic) (EDITING!)
"Lost and cold. Tired and lonely I reached out. I waved my arms and screamed for help. Desperately trying to speak. But nobody saw, nobody heard. Insecure and scared I hid myself away. Tried to silently- telepathically ask for guidance. But nobody spared a second glance. Unloved and lonely I let go. I gave up. Not wanting to live in a world where love could not find a place in my life. I never knew how wrong I was. Never knew that he was always there and had been from the start. I thought of myself as the girl lost in time. The one who didn't belong. I was not worth the first life I was given and lost in the next. I was screaming, craving, searching for something I knew nothing of. until he found me. He, who saved me from myself. My dear King." The year was 1940. with young men going into war, and women starting jobs, the children who lived in the cities, more specifically London were sent to live out in the country. when the Pevensie children arrive at the estate, they meet the 18-year-old maid, Anna. or Anna-Maria. a girl with a shadowed past, but a heart of gold. She has lived with the professor for 8 years and worked as a maid there for 4. The siblings take to her immediately, glad to have someone to hold onto in this time of difficulty. None of them could have predicted what a simple game of hiding and seek would lead to. What destiny was laid out before them. Least of all the girl whom lived twice. The one who lived inside her own head. lost in a sea of confusion, and longing for something deeper. The Queen waiting for her King.Complete
