This is America; land of the free, home of the brave. In four major cities around the country, a criminal organization flourished in its dealings. The Four Aces, as they were known, is probably the biggest multi-generational gathering of gangsters and criminals in the land. They had a finger in almost every business which had to pay them a regular sum of money since the inception of the Aces' and the business' new alliance. In return, not the protection that the lowlife scum promised where a rival gang would happily lay waste to the business and the protection would be none the wiser; instead, the Aces provided protection like 'soldiers' to guard their investments and their interests. Because, you see, loyalty means everything to them. With the police cracking down on crime lately, they are stepping up their game. They need all the help they can get for one great heist that would earn them their crown.

Above. by Bhettiboop

Meet 16 year old Yasmine, or as they call her, Yas. She’s a Caucasian girl with shoulder length black hair with Violet tips at the end. Like a majority of teenagers at her age, all she’s worried about is partying, smoking, drinking, and hanging out with the crowd that she’s drawn in at school. But once they take it a step too far, she winds up getting into a serious accident that leaves her in a coma. In her coma, she wakes up somewhere else that’s cloudy, blissful, and beautiful. She realizes that it’s heaven and see’s a crowd of people standing over her. These people, were the people who passed away on earth. All of these people were murdered on earth, but never received any justice. [Caylee Anthony, Natalee Halloway, The Black Dalhia, etc.] but one person that stands out that she sees that has been swarming around the news, is Trayvon Martin. After meeting these people, she asks questions and realizes everything that all of the prosecutors and police have missed for years. But what happens when she wakes out of her coma? After waking out of her coma, she realizes that the place called “Heaven" that everyone has been stressing about was actually real! But what does she tell the people in the outside world? After stressing to many people about what people in this other world has told her, everyone around her starts to think that getting into that accident made her a little “psycho", “crazy", and “mental". To visit these people in heaven, the only way she can do it is by potentially killing herself just so that she can see and talk to them. But with this, also comes the cost of people thinking that she’s suicidal or crazy, pushing her mother to take drastic measures to help control her daughters suicidal behavior. Being the only person who knows that these people in Heaven are actually communicating with her, will she be able to convince other people in the outside world on whats going on?

Justice before Blood ~ A Criminal Minds FanFiction Series ~ COMPLETED by x_tacos_x

COMPLETED! BOOK 2 in process! EDITING IN PROCESS! "Reid! Look out!" I scream as I push him over and I replace his spot. I try to turn around but I felt the pressure enter my neck. It sends me sprawling and collapsing to the ground. "Carrie!" I hear Morgan and Reid yell in unison. Darkness surrounds me and the gunshots echo and scream pass me. Glass shatters beside me and I feel my legs being dragged across the ground and place my back against a side of a car. I open my eyes barely and glass shatters above me. I press my hand against my neck and pull it away. A red trail runs down my hand and I look up and see someone that look extremely familiar just a few seconds ago. My vision became blurry and hard to see. I start to become extremely tired. I felt a hand press against my neck and winces throughout my body. I lowly grunt under my breath as it escapes me from the filled oxygen. I slightly open my eyes and see Reid. "Hey, just keep your eyes on me." He pulls his hand away and looks at the-the red liquid substances. "We need a medic!" His voice quivers. His eyes meet mine and I smile weakly. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I'm not what you call an average teenager. I graduate high-school at the age of 14 and college at 22 with an IQ of 176. My life or childhood was a devastating war between abuse and mental breakdown. I try to escape every time I could. Now, all that's payed off when I become the youngest FBI in the BAU Unit. My life is planned out and everything. Have my own apartment, car, and hopefully a job that I alway wanted. I'm only a new recruit. Draft... Maybe. But I never thought that's a battle until a serial killer runs through town.

Helping Her or Saving Her(TW FanFiction) Book 1 by LovelyTeaTW

We all fall in love. You never know who with or when, but we all fall in love wether we like it or not. I fell in love with someone I shouldn't have. The girl I fell in love with well... She is a bit to young for me. I should say that her story isn't mine to tell, but there really isn't anyone to tell it other then me. You know me as Nathan Sykes from The Wanted. But Hana she new me as the normal Nathan, not the famous one. She knew all of us for the people we were before we became famous. Hana never had a very nice childhood. She... well she was abused, not by her family, but by the people her family talked to and were friends with. Her parents were never around very much, so she would always stay with 'friends' but Hana always knew that something bad would end up happening. The people always said to hurt her more then what they already did if she told anyone about all of if. All of it had started what she was only 9 years old, after 5 years of hell, so when she was 14 she, (We had only been a band for about a year then) took a chance when her tortuers were out of the house, for a bit to leave. Hana never knew where she would go, since she had no money or anything really. She lived in America, so it was a bit of a challenge to leave to country. She only knew of one person that she could really turn to and that was... Well Siva, and the rest of us. That was almost 2 years ago. I never thought I would be telling anyone this story, but here I am, doing the crazy. So I'm going to start at the begining, the first day we met met Hana, and the day that we gained a new part of the family. A best friend, a sister, a loved one; Hana came into our lives faster then you could say I Found You.

The Hollingway Twins by EmmaLouise757

We have grown up in the reality that our parents should not be together. Our father had a lot of problems that our mom had covered up, or at least had tried to when we were growing up. My twin brother and I vowed if we ever met the right girl or girls we wouldn't treat her/them like our father treated our mother and we definitely would never get married. Then we met her and we knew we had to protect what was ours: Charlene Our family was unorthodox it was a joke. Mom had finally left our father after years of mental abuse and we learnt we had an aunt who was young enough to be our sister, but what we didn't know was that we had two uncles to the same age as Charlene our angel. They were devils in disguise wanting revenge for an accident that killed their mother and hers, though she had nothing to do with it. We took her under our protection but it wasn't enough they found her and made sure that she would pay for her sins even if their weren't any. Chester, and Henley were the brothers of my father, our sperm donor and the bane of our existence. Mom had finally got away from that despicable man and into the arms of another. Trying so hard to do the right thing by all of us we vowed to keep Charlene safe and with us, but that didn't stop them it never stopped them. Who will fall first and who will fail in the claws of love and hate?

The Happiness Monster by IevaMelgalve

He was born in a utopian society where everybody works together to ensure fair distribution of happiness for all the people. However, he is... different. His callousness, lack of empathy and troubling disregard for happiness of others makes him an outcast in his world. She was born in a merchant's family and took off before her wedding to become a tech-hunter instead. A hundred scars later, she has realized that it was a mistake; and one that she cannot fix, not easily. * When I was a child, I was convinced that there is a limited amount of happiness in the world; that every time when I was unhappy somebody else was a little bit happier, and every time when I was happy somebody got a bit more miserable. Flash forward to utilitarianism, to "Moral Tribes" by John Greene: "..for a utilitarian, the ideal world is one in which everyone is maximally happy, including the baddies. In fact, the ideal utilitarian punishment system is one in which punishments are convincingly faked rather than actually delivered. In an ideal utilitarian world, convicts would be sent to a happy place where they can't bother anyone, while the rest us believe that they're suffering, the better to keep us on our best behavior." The idea was so outlandish and so perfectly SF-ish, in a "what could possibly go wrong?" way, that I thought of a prison planet Miasma almost immediately. And then added things, like bacterial enhancements that can change people's physiology just about in any way imaginable (and are not *that* far fetched). And then threw in intelligent alien life. That is kind of cute. And some weird sexual customs. And.... And then I ended up with a couple of notebooks full of NaNo-scribble, a realization that the story is sprawling in all directions, that it is this weird glob of "something" that is equal parts fun and unpredictable, and that I have always wanted to do serialized fiction.

I'm.. in love.? (Gr!Freddy x Male Reader) by agendertron

Y/N L/N was a seven year old boy who was taken to Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria for his seventh birthday with his single mother as she had forgotten about his birthday. Upon entry, he was star struck by the animatronics. Y/N found them all so cool, but he did quickly gain a favourite, which was Freddy. On the way home, Y/N's mother even promised him that she would take him again soon. But, almost a year later, to be precise, a week away from Y/N's eighth birthday, he had learnt that the promise made by her was a lie after asking when they would visit again many times. This time, Y/N mustered up the courage to ask his mum a different question. From that day onwards, the relationship between Y/N and his mother spiralled down and wasn't the same ever again. After finishing high school, Y/N went to university and studied to become a robotics technician so he could work at places like Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria. He was so good at what he was studying, that he only had to study for two years before being allowed to graduate. So when Y/N turned twenty, he applied for the role of the animatronic mechanic at Freddy Fazbear's Pizza-Plex, which was a massive mall version of Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria. It had all of the originals(in my AU, Bonnie and Foxy still exist) and some new ones. Y/N was ecstatic when he heard that they were accepted and now employed to be the mechanic, but he had to keep this job a secret. He could not risk his mother finding out. Y/N was pretty good at not mentioning starting the job. That was until one day when his mum decided to randomly come visit and found out everything, causing a big argument. Y/N didn't care and started working there anyways. He became the happiest they ever had been. Y/N made new friends. Both human and robotic. Everything was normal, until one day, when a realisation made everything change for Y/N.
