Through the glass windows, I could see water gushing out of the vents at
high velocity, filling the building with gallons of chlorine filled water.

I looked down at the pushchair, and back inside. What do I do?
Violet!
Mum! Dad!

My twins, or my daughter?
How was I supposed to choose?
How could I pick one, or two children over another?
Would I be able to save my daughter? Would Violet get out of there?

Tears filled my eyes as I watched the horror before me.
I could see people fighting for their lives, children drowning in the deep
water filling the room up. It was all happening so quickly.

"Violet!" I began screaming, gripping the handles of the double
pushchair, as the tears fell in torrents down my face.

Water started bubbling up through the grates across the pavement on which I
stood. There was so much water inside the underground building that it was
overflowing into the street!

Oh god, Violet.
Oh my baby.
She can't die. She can't.

I was in shock.
My life was falling apart right before my eyes and I had no control over
it.
I couldn't leave Dex and Willow, but I needed to save Violet.
I was at a crossroads, feeling so guilty for having to pick the twins over
Violet. I was forced to make a decision I didn't want to make.

You are never supposed to pick one child over another, but that's what I've had
to do.
I've been forced to stand out here and watch as people drown inside that
building along with my precious daughter.

CRINGE WARNING! First book I ever wrote on here!! -- "Sometimes the person who you are willing to take a bullet for is the person behind the gun." I stood peering over the cold lifeless body that lay before my eyes. I had always thought of death the enemy, but right now, I blessed it upon the person who is now at peace. Sometimes you don't need to be the smartest, or the fastest, but you do need to be wisest. They say the blood runs deeper than water, and I believe it, because even though the people that we love can turn on us and begin to hate us, they are only human, meaning that soon they will begin to see how short life really is and how it is not to be wasted. People who seem perfect and they look like they have no floors'; they are the people who are suffering, like I was. But I found my savior in the most uncommon place. He was able to look through my mask, he saw the cracks, and tried to fix the broken girl that hid away deep inside the girl who only wanted to be seen as 'fine'. I slowly began to find comfort and safety in him, and I did the same to him. We were two broken people becoming whole. Someone once said when you pass, if you can count your true friends on one hand you are beyond lucky, and I even though I did not like the person that lay before me, I know that he once had true friends, including me. I'm a 17 year old girl who has suffered more than any other, beginning to believe that 'Hope' was just another word the people throw around. Until I fell in love with a badboy.

[Completed] [MATURE CONTENT] [TW: Mentions of drug abuse and self-harm] "When I met her, I told myself 'no feelings'. But I guess you know by now that that's never how feelings work." As a 24-year-old working with underage drug addicts in a rehab facility, Violet Rae is less than impressed when her best friend introduces her to Harry Styles, a top tier member in a notorious drug gang in London who has a heavy coke addiction. Harry seems to have taken an unlikely interest in Violet that nobody, including her, him or his friends seem to understand. The two are an unconventional match and before realizing it, Violet is sucked into a dangerous life that goes against anything she believes in. Can two people who have gone through so much trauma and have so many - literal - scars ever really have a happy ending? [Preview] "It's pathetic, I know. I just feel... so much when you're around me. I can't get enough." His voice died down in a whisper before he flicked his eyes up to stare into mine intently. The green in them instantly took my breath away as I got lost and he gulped audibly. "And I don't just like you, Violet. I love you, I really do." My heart stopped beating for a second before it started thrashing violently in my chest. "Harry..." I sighed as I shook my head, but he cut me off. "No, I know you think it's bullshit and that it's too soon and that I'm lying or that I don't know what I'm talking about, but I do." He spilled. "There's so much you don't know about me." I mumbled, tearing my eyes away from his to focus on the pendant that was laying on the mattress. "I don't care." He whispered back and I shook my head. "I... I can't say it back." "I know." I bit my lip at the intensity of this conversation, and I wondered how long it would take Harry to find out he didn't actually love me at all. ** Started: May 2021 ** Finished: November 2021

This gets the guys attention and I notice the aura around him, telling me he's an Alpha. He starts stalking towards me as Gabriel struggled to get up, " Run Reagan!

Fighting for Rose by whitetigerpaw

-Blake- Rose stands not too far in front of the ring looking at me, her face is pale and my gut twists in ways it never has. She shouldn't be here, why the hell is she here? My hands drop to my side, the victorious feeling once flowing through me is replaced with one of dread. She saw me fighting. ------- -Rose- "Alright. Time for you to go." He says. I feel the pull on my arm as he tries to take me away but my feet feel like they are glued to the ground as I continue to look at Blake. He has a little smirk on his face as he looks over the crowd. A look so completely different than any of the ones I saw the other day. Then our eyes meet, and his smirk drops. He drops his hands that were just held high in victory and looks at me like he's seeing a ghost. The guard pulls harder on my arm and I go flying back into his chest. "Listen here, I don't want to manhandle you, so do as I fucking say. Move." He growls as he pushes me into the crowd of celebrating people. I do what he says and start walking towards the exit, but I look over my shoulder one last time before I'm too far in the crowd to see anything. Blake's hands are fisted by his side and his face is red with anger, his eyes are focused on the hands that are on me pushing me away from him. ----- I am the original owner of this book, please do not copy.

Bow Down And Beg For Mercy by Nightshade1199
19 parts Ongoing Mature
In a world like mine, family are supposed to be the only people you can trust, the only ones who would always have your back. My family is included in that. My father trained us to be killers since we could pick up a knife. I am the youngest of six children in my family and let me say it is not cute or easy. I have been accused, lied to, blackmailed and more. We use each other for our own benefits, like soldiers but still, we're family. This is the story of how I got rid of my disposable soldiers. Who will be trusted and who will be destroyed. While my enemies are playing checkers, I'm playing chess, with a perfect checkmate already in sight. Maybe I can play a few other games along the way. "What? Not so confident anymore are you?" I press my body against him when his back hit the wall. "S-step back," he mumbles attempting to command me. "And if I don't?" I twirl his hair between my fingers. He pushes me back. "D-don't do that," he breathes heavily. "Don't do what, pet?" I tilt my head. "Don't try to control me," his eyes don't meet my gaze. "My sweet Bunny, I'm not trying to control you..." I stalk towards him like a predator stalking it's prey, a wolf catching its meal. When I got close enough, I put my lips to his ear, wrapping my left hand around his neck. "I do control you." I push him to his knees. "That is where you belong, on your fucking knees." All pictures are from Pinterest!! I hope you enjoy! Pls comment I love reading them!!

*Feel free to comment, vote, or share my story. Let me know what you think. * "Ok so can you tell me what it is now? I'm beginning to build up some tension and stress here." I mumble to them as they snap out of their stare down. "We don't want to scare you." Hector speaks softly as if I'm a fragile little doe escaping my mother's womb just recently like little bambi. "Are you baby black marketers?" I ask them, wondering if that is why they decided to bring me here, to take my child after they ensured a healthy birth. They look absolutely gobsmacked as if that is the most ludicrous thing they have ever heard. "No!" They exclaimed in unison. "Then are you mob bosses as well? Hiding out here in this town, and knowing I'm a former mob bosses wife you figured I would be good leverage?" I ask barely taking a breath giving no room to talk as things begin to pop up in my head as to what they have to tell me. "Or are you a cult of vampires and want me to be your blood queen?" "No, you're probably a bunch of devil worshipers who want to sacrifice my children as they are the innocent." "What if you are werewolves and I'm one of your mates." "What if you're from the government and you followed me all the way here and you are just deceiving me?" "Are you guys going to kill me? Sell me after the babies are born? Sell the babies?" I begin hyperventilating with all the thoughts running through my head and the look of horror that the two wear just pushes me over the edge. Tears streaming down my face I begin to beg them.
