Carmen Miller was never meant to be normal.
But in a town that prides itself on being exactly that, she's got to hide every part of her that screams "abnormal" especially the part where she can do magic with a flick of her wrist.
Banished to live with her strict, non-magical aunt in yet another "fresh start," Carmen promises (sort of) to keep her powers in check. No spells. No slip-ups. No turning the new town upside down. Easy... right? Not when your new school is full of overly chipper classmates and very clear hierarchy, your secrets are bubbling under the surface, and your aunt thinks you're a walking curse. Oh, and did we mention the many secrets Carmen tried to leave behind? Yeah, they're not staying hidden for long. With magic she's forbidden to use, a past that won't stop haunting her, and a town that's a little too quiet, Carmen's about to find out that starting over might be the most chaotic thing she's ever done. A sharp, witty supernatural tale about power, identity, and what it really means to fit in even when you're anything but.
First Story so hopefully its enjoyable

Obsession.
If you like fantasy/romance you should try my story The Flower Longed Death. It is written a LOT better than this one is! -------------------------- "You must've got the wrong impression if you keep expecting to get away with shit like this, so let me make things clear," He says with a calm smile. He moves his face closer to mine, losing the lighthearted grin that had previously cooled my nerves. I get a better look at the scar across the bridge of his nose, and the vague one X'ed onto his lips. Now I want them even more. -------------------------- Eighteen year old Mileva never thought her past would catch up to her after leaving years ago to live in New York City. She didn't think she wanted it to. However, she also didn't think she would cross paths with a guy like Valen, the Italian Mafia's heir. He's only twenty three, but he's somehow the most attractive and intimidating man she has ever met, let alone heard of. Mileva battles her anxiety adjusting to this new life of hers, while Valen is just getting comfortable with his new obsession. -------------------------- Word count: 110,000 There is a lot of graphic content, so please read carefully! List of specific warnings can be found in the introduction. The writing gets better as the story progresses, I promise.Complete

This is an unedited first draft, which will soon go for major construction. Eliza-beth, where HIS secrets are revealed. Family breaks/unite, past is relived. Devil dies, heir rise, mafia politics...... After everything is at peace, at least I feel this way. After killing the man who destroyed my life, I find everyone played their part.

Without doing anything, they all paid. But even after everything I loved them, I never wanted them to suffer but I can't fight with fate. Even with the mystery that my man in black hides. But I like to solve that mystery every day. "He said we were connected even before we born. I am his and he is mine. In this life and next life." (must read 'beth' to understand Eliza-beth) *Excerpt* "Valerio has his own issues." I snapped. "Calm down. You are behaving like a possessive woman." She tried to lighten my mood and laughed. But no....she failed. Because I didn't feel any humour in it. "I am a possessive Mrs ROGERS." I declared openly. "You are blind. Can't you see what he did?" She taunted me. "He's up to something...... Bigger. Heinous." She whispered.Complete

LOT'S MOUNTAIN
Magic, monsters, mayhem ... and high school. What could go wrong? Everything! I'm a freak, but I've got the God-given sense to know to keep it a secret that I can use magic to lose some things and to find other things. As magic goes, it totally sucks, especially since I can't control it. I couldn't use it to find my brother and save him from a serial killer. So what good is it that I can lose a shoe and find a hubcap? Some people do think I'm extra special, though. I don't know how they found out about me, but the Stone Men and their Black Dogs are after me every chance they get. It's their job to keep magic a secret and make you think the world is normal. The Glass Man's out to get me, too. He's just out to make everybody his psycho slave. There's a war coming between Stone and Glass, and I'm right in the middle. But this war isn't just about hidden magic and humans. When you're a little kid, your parents tell you that there isn't any such thing as monsters. Well, they're lying. Some monsters want to offer you a deal, and some, well, some just might end up your best friend. Others, they just want to eat you. Right now, I'm dodging homework and things trying to turn me into lunch. I'm gonna find a way out of this war and save my friends... or die trying--Complete
