Never
Life hasn't been simple for Lois in a long time - little did she know she was born complicated - her whole family were. Sometimes things happen for a reason, I mean if she didn't have Jessie inside of her (a reincarnated ghost) she'd probably never meet her soul mate Aiden or be able to help out Cameron the ruler of the dark part to the Afterlife; then again neither he or Aiden are the true rulers no that title belongs to someone else. The true leader manipulated Cameron, so now he basically has an army of ghosts willing, to destroy Earth and the whole of Afterlife so he can reshape it to his liking. As usual those who can see the dead seem to get sucked into the havoc, Lois and her friends are about to embark on a journey to save Earth, the Afterlife and possibly free Cameron...who knows you'll have to read it to find out. Oh and add soul mates into the mix and family - lovely recipe this. *Images used in the cover belong to their rightful owners, no copyright infringement intended*Complete

[ highest ranking: #179 in paranormal ] Something wicked is coming to Ashdown, Vermont. Something dark, deadly, and... platinum blonde? 17 year-old Lila Cabrera is a certifiable hot mess. Last spring, on the night of Junior Prom, Lila survived a fatal car crash - one that left her then-boyfriend, Will, dead, before they could even reach the dance. Because of that night, Lila has lost her friends, her sense of protection, and, worst of all, the love of her life. Now, Lila is a senior, still grieving her lost love, and she has no idea what she wants to do with her life. But that's okay, because on the 3 month anniversary of the crash, the Grim Reaper himself shows up at her house, warning her that she is fated to die by her 18th birthday next May. The Reaper then says that his job is to help her live out her bucket list before he collects her soul on that fated day.

There's only one way to find out - and it's through Death himself. [ an original fic ] © october 2017 - august 2018 by athena m.Complete
Forgotten Moonlight
"I'm tired. I'm tired of this, of everything, and what I am most tired of is being forgotten by you. If there is a next time, I will be the one who forgets." As her eyes closed, the memories vanish along with her and the passing time. "I was wrong! I was wrong! I'm sorry! Open your eyes! Cui'er, please wake up!" Her soul fades as the light floats up like bubbles and wanes into the darkness. She is gone. He holds her body, left with only an empty shell, he holds on and cries. "I once told you that I would never leave you yet now I'm the one who is left behind." His tears streams down, gentling as they fall upon her face. Then suddenly he screams to the sky, "Cui'er, I promise you, the next life, I will find you, and even if I am something entirely different, the debt that I owe you shall be repaid." The memories of the mind can be fragile, easily dissolvable into nothing. Yet some things are forever entrenched into the soul, never to be erased. ____________________________________________________________________________________ This is my original story, not a translation. btw, there's a spinoff ٩(˃̶͈̀௰˂̶͈́)وComplete
