It happened so suddenly. I blinked. That's all. One minute I was there and the next, I found myself in 19th century victorian London, adopted by a small band of 'Travellers', who seem to know more about where I'm there than I did myself. (All Rights Reserved, PG)

Amongst the Stars
My lungs and muscles burned. Everything in my body begging me to stop but I had to keep moving. I had to get away. I rather die than go back to that lab but this building was a maze! Never ending hallways and big metal sliding doors that you see in space movies. All I could hear was the patter of my bare feet, heavy breathing, and my heart beating in my ears. "Hey!!! Stop her! Whatever you do, do NOT let her get away!!" A man yelled after me but I couldn't look back. Even as I heard the whoosh of metal doors opening and the thudding of boots chasing after me.Complete

In love with a Unicorn
"The years slip between our bare hands with alarming speeds, the experiences lead to unforgettable and not altogether treasurable memories." That turned out to be my conclusion, after depht analyzing the events of my life in the recent years that I spent in the reserve. I do not think anyone expected the departure of a prince, the love coming from an unbearable shadow tamer, the dark secrets of a close relative, and the truth of a best friend that was extraordinary in more than one way ... But somehow, things got that way. After all, who was I to change the past? For better or for worse, my destiny was linked to each of the unpredictable people that I had known throughout my life. Despite our past ties, new adventures were just around the corner. It was time to take, with determination, the reigns that would lead my way from now on ... the only thing about it was that the same path had been forged long ago, possibly since I became a blessed by fairies.Complete
The Heart Knows No Crown
Jasper stiffens in his seat as I press the metal of the blade against his back. "Don't say a word. Come with me, right now." Of course, he doesn't listen. I had hoped a dagger to the kidney would be incentive enough, but even the threat of death doesn't graze a Devereaux ego. He turns toward me to argue, facing away from the goon that's been eyeing him across the bar. I doubt he even noticed. The man whispers something to his sketchy friend, pointing at Jasper. No time for discussion. I grab his arm and press the tip of the knife harder, just barely breaking the skin. He winces, realizing I mean business, and gets up. The idiot prince seems to finally get the memo, running alongside me until we're a safe distance away. "What the hell was that about?" his ragged breaths take the sting out of his words. I've never seen him like this before. Cheeks red, chest heaving, hunched over himself on the stump of a tree. For once, he looks like an authentic person. Of course, this is merely an illusion. Jasper Devereaux is an arrogant, entitled dirtbag, nothing more. I can't believe I just jeopardized my favorite trade spot for him. He demands to know why I pulled a knife on him instead of just telling him he was in danger. I explain to him that the reason for the dagger was glaringly obvious if you consider the way he acted when I did use it. If he was willing to argue with a blade against his skin, there is no way he'd have left that place in good hands if I hadn't forced him to. I can't help but laugh at the audacity of him to be angry with me for how I chose to save his life. "You really haven't changed." His head snaps up at this, and I see his eyes searching my face. Of course he doesn't recognize me. For me, it was super traumatic. For him, it was just another day. "What are you going on about?" "This isn't the kingdom, Jasper, these peasants aren't at your mercy." I see the blood drain from his face, and recognition clicks in his eyes.

The Mage's Apprentice
Anya Hayhurst had known only a life of neglect and disvalue, so when a man approaches her, offering her the chance to sell her rights as a living creature in exchange for a new, unknown life, she agrees. Never did she believe she would be bought by Theodore Doldrum, a man who is the first to place any value in her as a person, a man who takes her under his wing to help her control her powers, a man who shows her an entirely new world beyond our own, the man who is the mage, and she his apprentice. (This is what I call a practise narrative, to test my current quality of writing. It is basically a parallel of anime/manga of The Ancient Magnus Bride but with my own little twist. I don't call this a fanfiction because it by no means seeks to use the names of characters to further or alter the story they are from. As stated, I found the material good practice to harness my own writing skill to. Hope you enjoy)Complete
Broken
I close my eyes. I'm not going to die. I'm not going to die. Suddenly, I feel my stomach drop and my head start to spin. I try to scream, but nothing comes out. I try to breathe, but my mouth is dry. The sickening feeling continues for about a minute, then it stops. I open my eyes; I'm not dead... Yet.Complete
