Cat Stories Series 1: PurrBox's Home Book 3
READ Cat Stories Series 1: PurrBox's Home Book 1 AND Cat Stories Series 1: PurrBox's Home Book 2 FIRST! THEY ARE MEANT TO BE READ IN ORDER! Ok. Let's face it, these books are way too short. So, this series will NOT be deleted but will go through heavy editing and be reposted as different books. The rewritten and original stories can (and will) be found on my profile in my reading list "Cat Stories Series 1: PurrBox's Home". Accepted back into the group... a little bit, PurrBox is working hard to prove his group made the right choice. But it's hard with Mist pleading him for help as Light tries to tear all five groups apart. With Light having the ability to take over cats' minds, it doesn't seem that hard for her to do. Yet, PurrBox's group doesn't trust Mist at all seeing everything she did to him. PurrBox is torn between his loyalty to his group and his loyalty to Mist. So, which will he choose? GENRES (99% sure that's how you spell it - the author of second guessing A.K.A me): Fantasy (Light's group, every once in a while unrealistic healing which you'll find out why eventually), Adventure (maybe? I don't know I haven't started writing yet) and possibly action.

Wild Witches
The year is 1914, the border between magical creatures and the humans is clearly defined. But unknown to many minds, the ministry of magic has another thorn in their flesh, the so-called wild witches. Descendants of old blood lines, believers in ancient rituals, never frightened in the dark woods, because deep within the forest the most terrifying thing was a wild witch with a wicked filled mind. Many wizards believed that they were part of cults, giving the devils their souls and slaughtering animals and muggles for sacrifices. Lucky for them, those transferences weren't all too real. Wild witches weren't burned anymore in Salem, they didn't sacrifice a life just to satisfy the needs of ambiguous gods and devils, they weren't evil. Not unless you awakened their rage... However, when influential men started growing their fear of peaceful witches, the burden of certain consequences would follow. 1914 the Ministry of Magic decided to enforce the rule that all witches and wizards must go to schools and can no longer be taught at home, like wild witches were. The young witch Y/n needs now to face the first school she's ever seen, not knowing that by the end of the school year her life would be changed forever... ~Be the witch you were born to be, wild and free.~ I actually post this rather short story on my tumblr, but decided then to post it here as well.Complete

Some tales are whimsical, others haunting, but all are bound by a shared sense of imagination, transformation, and deep emotion. At the heart of it all are characters who are learning, growing, seeking, and finding-home, truth, courage, or themselves. This book is for dreamers. For wanderers. For those who still believe that anything is possible if you just step sideways into the unknown.Complete
