In a world where your death and time of death is your choice, many have the opportunity to live their lives knowing that when that day finally comes they will go as they wanted. Many choose to die old and die in their sleep, some others choose to go by there own hands or other means.
Twenty-one year old Nardia Kattochi knows she's coming to the end of her days and has accepted that in nine months twenty-one days and fourteen hours she will die by the hand of a hooded man. She however never chose this, it was chosen for her.
Shizumi Yume, a watcher. Is one of death's many illegitimate offspring. She is cursed to watch 'Timers' die their chosen deaths at their chosen times; until she glimpses Nardia. For the first time, Shizumi finds herself actively watching a timers life. Until that is, the seeds of indecision begin to sprout in the corners of her heart as the price of going against her father whispers through her mind. The price of crossing from the realm of watchers into the realm of timers for interfering is a heavy price in either realm.

Some Lies can Run
It's the future, and a war has knocked out half of the human race. The jungle has taken over most of the land, and people live in tribes or groups deep within the forest. Every group has a population of at least 300, and all of the tribes are against each other. Naikee lives in a group called the Sowadan group, and they live in the south region of the world. Each group is forbidden to go past the gates that hide their villages. Naikee is sick and tired of living within the walls of her villages, and she's always wondered what it would be like to go past them. On the morning of her Celebration of Life (basically a birthday), she finds a whole in the wall and runs past the gates and into the wild. After days of traveling she accidentally runs into a group called the Kaiboo, which are one of the most dangerous groups in the world. They are known for their cannibalism, though no one has ever dared to enter their gates. Before anyone can capture her, a boy named Mika runs into her and takes her to a secret underground storage. He only goes to her and talks to give her the meals at morning, afternoon, and night. After several days of this same thing, Naikee finally confronts him and makes him tell her whats going on. They get to talking, and he comes back to check on her more often now. As she develops a crush and they fall in love, they don't realize but they might be changing the course of history. Note: I'm sorry about the spacing, I'm not exactly sure how to do this because it's my first story. Someone can comment to me how to space if they're bothered by it, but just know each new section in a chapter is meant to be a new paragraph. Thank you so much fo reading!!! @allie!!!!!Complete

The captive Camelia; A golden cage is still a cage
Camelia I was stolen. I was ripped away from the life I knew and my mother and dragged to a world I never asked for-a world of traditions and steel, blood, and betrayal. My father, a Yakuza king, demands my obedience. My fate? A marriage to a cruel stranger. But my gaze keeps finding him. Shion Harukawa. My shadow. My jailer. My father's perfect enforcer. He watches me like I'm a problem he needs to solve-cold, disciplined, untouchable. But I see the way his jaw tightens when I push him. The flicker of something dangerous in his eyes when I get too close. He is my captor. And if I have to burn this world down to be free, I'll make him my first sin. --- Shion She was never meant to be mine. I was ordered to protect Camelia Arisaka, I was her bodyguard, and she is my duty, nothing more. But from the moment she looked at me with defiance instead of fear, I knew she would ruin me. She is a reckless, untamed fire wrapped in silk. A problem I should break before she burns us all. But I don't. I watch her. Protect her. Want her. And when she tempts me to cross the line, I know one truth-I was never her jailer. She was always my undoing. β οΈ Trigger Warnings β Kidnapping & Forced Relocation β Manipulation β Violence & Torture β Murder & Bloodshed β Suicide (Mentioned and Impactful to Plot) β Sexual Tension & Explicit Content
Such The Liar Painted Me
This is a #TeenFictionAnotherYearShortStory entry. --- Believe me, when adulting takes place, you forget your naΓ―ve little side instantly and are ready to fit yourself in the big boots. But let's say, it's too soon for Olivia Dee. For her, graduation was a ceremony, a consummation of all the misery and guilt she had had to bear, of which none whispered-and she finally had the chance to leave it all behind. But the world's twisted, right? What if...I say, she has to relive all her past memories--that nasty first kiss, to be labelled a troublemaker, to be accused of things she could never imagine ever doing? Sadly, this is not her decision to make. A day after her graduation, she wakes up to face her senior year again. She knows that she had completed her education, she spends hours yelling about it on everyone's face. But at the end, she has to go to college again with one question--how does she even return back in time? But this time, all she has to do is grapple with a recurring dream, try to eliminate all the dark spots in her senior year and find out the reason of this travel back in time. Yet one thing's for sure, she hasn't travelled back in time. I give you my word. I know. There are numerous black-outs, sudden falls, chills, drama and a whole different system of cheating, drugs, revenge and a famous Queen sister, who is, mysteriously, now not famous at all. Watch her swim and drown, as she struggles between her reality and to keep up with her past struggles again, literally. Meanwhile, there's one context she never understands: Death undoes anything. *** Credit to @cattown_graphics She is a real darling, and managed to present me this cover at a very short notice.
