"Because it's Thursday. I don't like being alone Thursdays, Mondays and Sundays." "Why's that?" Xena is a quiet and talented girl hiding so many secrets and so much suffering behind her scars and words. It wasn't until Josh, the world famous drummer for Twenty One Pilots, kindly decided to pick up her spilled groceries and offer her his spare bag that Xena realised she could finally have something good in her life again. Grabbing coffee with Xena was seemingly harmless until their friendship blooms and Josh lets himself get too close. Xena seemingly doesn't like him back, but who knows, she might come around. Whilst Xena is finally getting her happiness back, James, the boy who caused a world of hell for Xena, gets released from the Twin Valley Mental Institution and puts into action the plan he's been thinking up for years whilst he was locked away. His plan takes a turn for the worst, leaving Xena's only friends shattered and damaged for a long time. Xena should've listened to cliche quotes like 'not all good things last forever' because sometimes as cliche as they are, the lessons you learn from them aren't. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- this is the first story i've ever uploaded :) also i suck at writing blurbs so i am v sorry. if someone wants to write one for me that would be great, i've spent 2 hours scrapping it and re-writing it so... i hope you like it i try really hard with every update to make it enjoyable thinking about doing another story after this one is finished. i know it's a while away, but i am probably gonna take requests for it since i haven't got many ideas yet. enjoy the story, feedback is very much appreciated, thank you!

Exile: The Book of Ever by JamesCormier
30 parts Complete
Centuries after the Fall, the United States has been wiped away. The crumbling remains of the great American empire are home now only to savage, lawless tribes and packs of ravening Damned-the twisted children of the apocalypse. Most of those few who survived humanity's destruction spend their short lives in a violent struggle for survival. But some light still flickers in the darkness: the Blessed of Bountiful live in seclusion, relying on walls both physical and spiritual to protect them from the Desolation that their world has become. Among them are the Saints, those few men and women born with superhuman abilities that the Blessed see as gifts from God. The violent apostate tribes of the Northeast Kingdom have always been a danger, but up until recently its small size and the vigilance of its people have made Bountiful an unappealing target. As attacks on the community grow harsher and more frequent, however, even the steadfast Blessed are forced to start preparing for the worst. With her home's very existence threatened, seventeen year old Ever Oaks, a Saint with the power to heal, is forced to make a difficult choice, one that may come to define her people's future... Exile was a semi-finalist in Mark Lawrence's Great Self-Published Fantasy Blog-Off (#SPFBO). Fantasy Faction said it was "extremely cool," and Bookish Lifestyle called it "more than just a story, a journey and an experience." When I'm asked about it, I often describe it as "X-Men meets The Walking Dead." In addition to reading it here for free, you can buy Exile in e-book or paperback on Amazon.com.

A goddess is taken to the underworld as the king's bride; her father knew everything and her mother knew nothing. In this retelling of the Hymn of Demeter, mother and daughter will do whatever it takes to free themselves, no matter the cost. Book I of The Triple Moons' Chronicles * Up in the sky, in a world between myths and lies, lives a daughter caged on an island. She is Persephone. The beautiful Persephone, whom every Olympian god wants to marry-they all want her beauty to conceal their ugliest secrets, but only Hades manages to take her to his realm. He dwells below the earth, across the river Styx, between Tartarus and the Isle of Blest. No mortals can see his forbidden land until they pass away. Forced into marriage by her father Zeus, Persephone would resign from her fate. But when her grieving mother, Demeter, comes close to killing all the mortals, Zeus orders her back to her homeland. Given and returned against her will, Persephone takes charge of her life and eats six pomegranate seeds before leaving. Food from the underworld can't be eaten as it will tie one to the land. As her decision pushes her closer together and apart from her loved ones, Persephone's destiny turns worse. Only she may have the power to change her world for the better. *** CW: While written in a lyrical style, this story is advised for mature audiences only.

Hades and Persephone: A Fated Love

"You can have anything you want," He plucked the ripest for me from the tree. "Everything in my world is yours." With all of my mother's warnings, I had been afraid to eat from his table or drink his wine. These were binding things, and I would starve myself thin before Hades and I were tied together by communion. But in the light of this garden, it didn't seem as dangerous as it had in the dark. "I feel your wanting," he murmured and pressed half a pomegranate into my palm. Being in Hades's underworld for so long threatened to consume me. "Please. I shouldn't," I whispered. "Shouldn't," he repeated. "Why, Persephone? Because it is against the rule of the gods?" "No," I breathed. "If I cross this line, I don't know what will become of me." "Let me show you." ................................ 🥈#2 in retellings 🏅#4 in Olympus 🏅#11 in Persephone
