Something about it was so mysterious about this cave, and I wanted to know more. 

I entered the cave and saw a red crystal sealed in ice. 

"Woah." I whispered. 

The crystal glowed and the ice shattered. 

I jumped back and fell to the ground, watching as the ice broke completely. 

My eyes widened and I looked at my hands. 

"Did I do that?" I asked, but before I could answer, I heard a guard shout for backup as they had heard the ice shattering. 

I quickly jumped up and stashed the crystal in my pocket before leaving. 

I crept to the cave the following day, putting the crystal back into the remains of the ice pillar. 

As I walked away, the crystal fell, causing it to break into a million pieces. 

I jumped at the sudden noise and stumbled backwards, my eyes widening as a black smog formed around the crystal. 

"No, no, no, no! Frick." I desperately tried to grab the remains of the crystal, causing one to cut my hand. 

"Ow! Shit." I whispered, looking at my bleeding hand. 

"Tch, tch, tch, poor child." A demonic voice said. 

I looked up and saw that the black smog had two red eyes and a wide, sick smile that was dripping with venom. 

"I- who are you?" I asked, backing up. 

"The one who can help you out of here." It said, stretching out a hand. 

I looked it up and down and before I could answer, its hand plunged into my heart, causing me to scream out in pain.

I point to a random car, further away from where we're standing. "And why would I do that?" He lifts a brow, amused. "Because I can't stand to be in your presence. You make me sick." He looks taken aback by that, but then his face darkens as he drawls. "You didn't seem to be sick when I had my tongue down your throat last night. In fact, I recall you moaning for more."

"Who are you?" I demand. The boy in front of me replies, "That's not how this works, love." I freeze. That phrase. That voice. It can't be. I look up but he's just a cloaked silhouette. The rustling stops when boys surrounding us step from their hiding spots and light lanterns. Every single one of them masked and cloaked. Except the one in front of me. The lamps lit, and I see his face. "Whoa," slips from my lips as I stare at the boy in front of me. His eyes widen and his jaw almost, just almost, drops. With his guard down for that one instant I lose all fear and gain control. "You!" I yell suddenly overflowing with anger. My stomach heats with rage. I fight to stand, stronger this time with anger as fuel. He backs up, his breath increasing. Obviously, uneasy, I take it as a win and almost stand all the way. "You. What are you doing here? How did you find this place!" He switched to angry. "You! You're the reason! They put me back because of you! It was all cause of you! It was your fault! All of it!" I'm so angry I yell only what I can. My thoughts flying through my head I can only yell unexplained nonsense. I've never felt anger like this before. The red glow lightly pours off my own skin and I take notice to it. I compare it to the glow coming off of him. Suddenly, it's an instinct to allow the anger to explode and in doing so the red glow is taken from his chest as I absorb it all and throw it out in all directions. I yank down away from the boy holding me just as the red glow gets sucked from him, absorbed into my hands, and then thrown out in a sphere of red glow. All boys stumbling but not by much and the one holding me gets knocked back, I'm free. "You die now, Peter Pan!"

18+ Warning. Mature scenes and Language. Sneak Peek- "You okay, baby girl?" He asked lowly. I closed my eyes, taking a deep breath. I nodded slowly, eyes still closed. I heard Bucky chuckle. "You sure, Doll?" Bucky asked with a bit of humor to his tone. I inhaled sharply as Steve let his lips graze my ear. "You know with the bond, we can feel the heat going through you." He started, dragging his tongue along the cartilage of my ear. "The beat of your heart quickening." His teeth pulled on my earlobe lightly, shivers going through me. "The shakiness of your breath." Bucky leaned to my other side and sucked on my earlobe. "The shivers going through you." Bucky added. I snapped my eyes open, crawling out from between them and standing at the end of the bed. They looked at me for a minute, first concern then amusement as they saw how flustered I was. "I-I uh um- I think I should start training." I stuttered out, trying to calm my heartbeat. I was way too sore to be wanting a round two right now. Bucky stood up and came up to me, grabbing my hips and smiling down at me. "It's okay, doll. We know you're sore." He said, pressing a quick peck to my lips as Steve joins us. This story uses Hinduism as a Guideline. It does NOT in anyway completely follow the religions or traditions they follow. It was more of an outline for how I wanted it to be. Please. Don't let it offend you if I butcher the traditions. Im trying to make this more original. More unique. There will be SMUT. Threesomes. Dominance. And other sexual themes. There will be descriptions of depression. Grief. Downgrading self. There will be mentions of delicious foods. Delicious men. And delicious women. Please take caution when reading this story. If any of these warnings are not for you, turn back now. This is a MCU aternate reality. There will be mentions of past events possibly, but does not 100% follow it. Top ranks: 11/14/21 #4 in JamesBuchananBarnes

I'm worth more than that considering I'm a virgin and have a big ass so it's gonna have to be more than that before I let that happen. "Sorry but-'' my dad was about to refuse the offer when he interrupted him with another offer. "4 Million dollars and considered all your debts paid," He said. My dad quickly got up and looked at me before looking back at Mr.Dragon. I know my father is not about to- "OK." my dad said. "Wait! Hold up Mister, I'm 18 which means I'm old enough to make my decision and my dad do not have a say in this!"I yelled. Causing all attention to myself which I quickly regretted.

EMPIRES SMP Fanfic - The Heavy Crown [Lost Empire] by morphineprince_
15 parts Complete
The dragonslayers of the realm had slain the legendary Ender Dragon, heightening the power of a powerful, corrupting demon named Xornoth into full, unfathomable might. The eternal winter would slowly poke its tendrils inside of the world, extinguishing its warmth, and serve as the realm's veins, repudiating out the old, summer roots. Xornoth came to Joey Graceffa under the Enchanting Temple of the Jungle and offered him the Crown. This Crown was a reward for Emperor Joey's undying loyalty and for defeating the Ender Dragon and letting Xornoth be free to the world once more. Ever since Joey slid that Crown atop his head, he saw the world in a different perspective. A perspective even more corrupt than ever. His eyes became red. Violent red. Two citizens of the Lost Empire had sensed a shift in Joey's enamour for the devil. It was up to them to save their Ruler, and hope that in the end... Their Emperor would not be lost. Like the Empire he rules. This EMPIRES SMP work is a fanfiction story. I do not own these characters, these settings, and some of the plotlines established by the dear Minecrafts that play the SMP. I am just writing this for fun and to improve my storytelling as an aspiring fiction/fantasy writer. I am a huge fan of the Empires SMP, and I wanted to write my own fanfiction story that takes place in that world. This story takes place after the End Dragon War, and after Joey Graceffa, the Lost Empire ruler who is in love with the server's demon, Xornoth, had worn the given Crown that made his eyes red and made him more bloodthirsty than ever (Episode 17 - Xornoth Gave Me A Gift!) Some of these won't make sense if you are not following the series' entire encompassing storyline, and are not interested in the lore. And I guess I may have tweaked some stuff here for the plot's sake. And pardon if there are some painful grammatical errors and spelling mistakes in this story (English isn't my first language, and I'm still learning!)

--He's a sin she's willing to commit and confess to God to seek forgiveness so that she can sin again freshly... But the moment she sees him an unknown irritation rises in her maybe it's kind of nervousness... Who knows.... --She's an angel who's like an enemy to him who himself is a Devil.. Oh how he wishes to stain her angelic soul with his dark one... But he doesn't know the darkness she's hiding in her heart.... __When can these parallels collide??__ "Baby girl! I know you are enjoying your food but if you don't stop that sound now, I'll be the reason you'll be making those sounds instead of food with my name screamed while the whole plane knows how much you're enjoying me. Better to shut that pretty mouth of yours if you don't want that. Don't want to bend here, right? So.." "Thank you for your kind words mister. I'm enjoying my food and I'll take your advice, but" then I leaned forward and whispered to him "I may castrate you before you do that. You may never get the chance of your enjoyment you are talking about. Be careful with your words and behaviour." *___*___*___*___*___*___* "Why can't you just leave me alone...." "Because I know you need me darling..." "No..I don't need anyone and mostly I would never need you...." he suddenly pulled me to him and started grazing his hands on my waist and came closer to my ear ... then whispered the words which made me shiver ... "say that again my sweet wine.. I'll fuck you right here, on this table, with the blinds open so that everyone can see how much you need me.." This is my first ever story that I'm working on, so forgive me for any kind of mistakes.... ________________________________________________ All rights reserved.

My Forever Transgression..(Bill Skarsgard)(Roman Godfrey) by Aleabimenoir
33 parts Ongoing Mature
There's a bed in the middle of the library with a huge window, you can see the ocean. Standing in front of the king-sized bed, he throws me. He begins at my entrance, sucking each incurable thought out of me. There's a table near us, laying a cup of whisky. He grabs it, spilling it all over my body. I flinch due to the ice. He looks up at me, grabbing my arms and pinning them down. "Stay still," he demands. He sucks the liquid off of my ribs, my nipples, my hips. He comes up to my face almost touching my lips with his. "No one will ever make you feel this way." he says. I nearly jump up only to get a taste of myself. He pushes me back down, smiling down at me. He laughs, "Sooo impatient." as he starts.. (Chapter 17) Anastasia Ruby Levine is an 18-year-old senior in High School, desperate for the acceptance of Columbia University, and the fervency of love; dominant love. After weeks of no father and only mother, she finds the confession of her mother's fondness rather unfair until her fondness occurs to be a man, a man with a son, guided by the Romans of looks, formed by the work of divinity. He's charming, yes, but very, very dangerous. Ana, on the other hand, is all in for danger, frightened, of course, but also wildly intimated and forced into his pleasures, the pleasures of women and men; his women and her dominant man. They fall, but they fall deeply. (Contains violence, anger, sexual content, strong language, blood, and sexual abuse.) (I do not own any of the Hemlock Grove characters, this is a fanfiction story!) (still editing some chapters)

Ⓐⓓⓥⓐⓝⓒⓔ ⓘⓝⓕⓞ: This is the first part of five about a mafia story based on a book by Willow Winters. Her story is about Dom and Becca. It is replaced by StrayKids Member. I hope you will like it :D If you are interested in the original story you can order it via Amazon or on her site directly (https://www.willowwinterswrites.com). My mother tongue is German, so I apologize in advance for any grammar mistakes. The book cover was created by LilaCrazy. Check her out as well. Thanks to my helpers in correcting the story^^ Ⓣⓡⓘⓖⓖⓔⓡ ⓦⓐⓡⓝⓘⓝⓖ: There will be violent scenes. This is a BoyXBoy, which means there will be same sex scenes. Fluff and Smut Male Pregnancy This should be an 18+ read. Read at your own risk! Ⓔⓧⓒⓔⓡⓟⓣ: The door opens and I nervously peek up through my thick, dark lashes at the gorgeous man looking down at me. The lines around his eyes mean he's every bit the man he looks, but his devilish white-toothed grin gives him a boyish charm meant to full man like me. He's fucking hot in a black three-piece suit that's obviously been tailored to fit his large chiseled frame perfectly. With that crisp white button-down shirt and simple black tie you'd think he was a young CEO, but his muscular body, piercing blue eyes and messy dark hair that's long enough to grab, make him a sex god. Lust and power radiate from his broad chest as his eyes travel down my body. He looks like a man who knows how to destroy you. A wave of desire shoots through me when my eyes meet his heated stare. My breathing hitches and I swallow down the distress I'm feeling at my treacherous body. I'll just give him the money Jungkook owed him and get the fuck out here. At the reminder of why I'm standing in his doorway, I push my purse toward him.
