"I'M A WRITER! I CAN DO WHATEVER I WANT TO!" I scream. Mr Hobo kept moving forward.
"S-stand back! I'm calling the cops!" I say.
He strides forward and I realise I'm trapped.
"You maybe a writer, Leon. But you must learn to love."
Pulling out something I've only seen in my imagination, he taps me on the head.
"Goodbye. And when you're back, maybe we can order a pizza."
My brow furrowed in confusion.
"Wait what? Why do you have a wand? Where are you sending me?"
And that's all I remember.
Leon is a high school guy. He's average at most things, never being able to stand out in the midst of so many people who are better than him. Blond hair, grey eyes, he doesn't look very visually stunning either. How are you supposed to get through high school like that?
He turns to writing. Creating different plots and characters. Soon, he finds himself coping with his life with a pen in his hand.
Too lazy to complete stories sometimes, Leon often finds his bursts of imagination short lived. He tends to vent out his frustration on characters, thinking that inflicting them with the emotions he feels doesn't make a difference to anyone. After all, they're just fictional, right? There's no possible way that they can feel his pain.
But can a sloppily dressed English teacher change him?
Read on with Leon as he finds out that there are three sides to every story- the author's, the reader's, and the characters'.

So I stuttered a no. To which he smirked as if he knew I was lying. "Okay, so you don't get goosebumps or shivers when I do this, right?" he murmured as he gently traced my arm.

How The Bad Boy Found True Love.
I watched him watch me as he was about to press his fist into the big red button that read "Emergency Fire!". I was unable to form words because, I thought about how hot he looked as he stared back at me with such intensity. It just intrigued me. I finally snapped out of my trance, but not because I'd came to my senses, but because I felt a cold sensation running down my body. I blinked about three times before it finally registered that he'd pressed the button and now water was spilling from the roof, and some students were laughing and playing. My breath hitched in my throat as he came closer. "You really should've worn a more, I don't know, a thicker shirt or bra. Because your two lovely friends are standing at attention." as the words left his mouth, realization caught up to me and I flushed with embarrassment and quickly crossed my arms over my chest.

Alpha Mason
You want me to reject you?" He asked confusion flashing through his eyes. I moved away from him sitting on the bed. Acting nice doesn't fit him and its really weird for me. "You're pulling this on me now?" He still was confused. "You always talk about my mate rejecting me right?" I paused letting it sink in. "Well, fate made you privileged to do it. Just exactly the way you fantasized" I concluded laying on the bed. He sighed sitting on my reading table. "I don't like you no doubt but I'm not rejecting you. And watch that mouth I'm still in authority." He commanded but I kept my eyes close loving his scent and ignoring his personality. "No one should know we are mates, yet. Things remain how they are and running from me?,really" I sat up looking at him. I wished he was always this nice at least. ------------------------ Lucy a white werewolf and an omega gets mated to the one guy she has a crush on who doesn't even have any kind of emotion towards her.

The Lighthouse Keeper
"Well, why DO you want me here?" He sits back in his seat, and takes a breath as if trying to figure out how to tell me something. He finally says, "I'm lonely here in the lighthouse. And even though there's and unlock button, it only lets others in- it doesn't let me out. So I couldn't be with anyone going out, but if I let someone in..." he pauses, and smiles. "And then I saw you on the screen the first day I searched. I don't think it was a coincidence that I searched at random and found you. I think it was fate, Claire." ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- When Claire follows a dangerous dare to break into the 'abandoned lighthouse', she finds that it's not so abandoned, after all.

Illusory
I'll never understand why he accepted me as his assistant -- me, a college dropout with the sense of a squirrel. I'll never understand why he won't teach me the magic I want to learn -- me, the stubbornly determined twenty-something who knows where he keeps his spell books. And I'll certainly never understand why he finally decided to love me -- me, the clumsy, stupidly playful girl who can barely handle staying upright in the box when he makes me disappear. I was just your average, failing college student until I met Donovan "Van" Tamerlane -- handsome, rich, and one of the most talented magicians of his time. But with his help, I became so much more -- and together, we saved the world. [Just to warn you, this is my novel from NaNoWriMo 2011, 50,000 words of it written in the first 12 days of the month. It's been edited, of course, but the bulk of it was still written in two weeks (and I'm not the best at revision), so please keep that in mind!]Complete

Olive the Other Werewolves
"Shift." His voice hit me like a serrated blade as he stepped out of the crude semicircle of hardened wolves that had formed around me. I pushed myself off of the cold floor for what felt like the thousandth time that day, wiping the small trail of blood coming off of my lip and down my chin. "I won't ask you again." My limbs felt like lead, these wolves had been at me for hours trying to get me to shift into my wolf, unbeknown to them was that their efforts would forever be futile considering the fact my wolf wouldn't make an appearance for me even when I begged. I seriously doubted she would suddenly pop up as a result of their abusive tactics. Instead of explaining my circumstances, driven by a bizarre combination of adrenaline and fatigue, I leaned back on my heels and sent the largest loogie I'd ever conjured flying over and landing squarely between the eyes of the man before me. oOoOoOoOoOo As a late bloomer who was incapable of shifting yet, let alone making any contact with her wolf, Olive Ludovic's life was not off to the best start.

When her home is taken over by a dark pack, life seems to only get worse for Olive as it is quickly discovered that her mate is none other than Matteo, the Alpha of the very pack that was terrorizing her people. It seems to her, that life is just a little bit easier for Olive the Other Werewolves. oOoOoOo hello! just fyi there will be mature language and content as the book progresses so i'm letting ya know now ;) HIGHEST WEREWOLF RANKING = 2, LOVE RANKING = 3 (out of 1.8 million books XD), MAGIC RANKING = 1, ROMANCE RANKING = 1 (out of 1.5 million books XD), VAMPIRE RANKING =1!Complete
