Alright, so I wrote this a few years ago and I decided to give it a read over and I am thoroughly disturbed by what I have written. I feel like it needs trigger warnings but even then I feel uncomfortable with the way I have glorified domestic abuse, depression and slave rape. I just wanted to inform whoever has been unfortunate enough to read this that I will be taking it down soon. I think I had good intentions but I was just in a bad space when I was writing this and it is not a good reflection of me at all. I apologize if this story has upset anyone.

"You..." He takes a breath, "You can go to the ball. But just-" He breaks, his eyebrows furrowing. He gets on his knees before me, as if he were begging, "Don't marry him."

Until one day, she bumps into the one guys whos is can be frequently found in her thoughts for the past year. Melanie has learned to keep her head down and emotions in so the sudden appearance of a man who wears his heart on his sleeve and is trying to pull hers out is a bit, well... a bit much. And she's got some secrets that almost no one knows and the journey to trusting someone is a long one. But I guess we'll see how it goes. TW: Mentions of rape, alcohol, drugs, language, sex/sexual references, and high school partying. I'd put no one under 18 but I'm under 18 so that be a bit hypocritical of me. Hope u enjoy. 👍 But beware that I am still a minor and I'm still in school so I might not have time to update everyday, I'll try to at last once a week. Bit on the weekends I have no life so you can expect more from me then. Anyways if anyone actually reads this, it's my first story that came purely from me and only, others I've written (never posted) have been coped or largely inspired by a story someone else had written so be gentle with me, okay? (P.S. I have really bad spelling and grammar so I read over these thoroughly but if there are any mistakes please tell me so I can go back and fix them I really want you guys to enjoys this book). This is book is based off parts of ,y life and own personal experience, several romance and mental health books, and songs like One Day by Tate McRae and don't miss me by Claire Rosinkranz. Give them a listen. 👌Complete

Hiii! :) To anyone who reads this, my name is Elisa. I live in Canada and this year in school, i have to accomplish a project of my choice. As you can see, I chose to write a semi fictionnal story. So please give me some feed back, any criticism is welcome! :) If you like the story or if you dislike it , why, all of it! :) Thanks in advance and here's the resume for this book. Hope you like it! :) <3 Trapped: This story is set in the 1960’s where black people had to fight for their rights. Iris Grey is an 18 year old girl who never really understood the hate towards black people. Her nanny Rosa is really the one who taught her to have a big heart seeing that her parents are never around. On the other hand, there’s Loki. He’s an Afro-America whose dad abandoned his mother a few years after his birth. Loki’s 19 years old and has to take care of his ill mother. Neither of them know that they aren’t regular humans. In fact, Iris is actually Light and Loki’s Shade. Yup, you’ve guessed it, they’re soul mates. But wait, it’s not all. There’s also these twins, Caleb and Evan Wright who are supernatural figures. Only their figure is War and so, they wish to destroy Light and plunge the whole universe in darkness. Will they succeed? What will be Shade’s choice; join the dark side and avenge his mother or help this girl he only just met? All this goes down during the fight for freedom, therefore, there’s going to be things that truly happened in history and others completely fictive. Have fun reading! :)Complete

"You can't do nothing for yourself?" She shakes her head while looking at her feet, "Look at me and answer me with your words." She slowly looks up, "N-No S-Sir." I walk pass her and she keeps her head down, "Don't just stand there, follow me. I'm taking you back, I didn't sign up for this. I was told to watch over a woman, but I wasn't told that the woman couldn't do anything for herself. Your basically a kid in a grown woman body." I look back at her from the corner of my eye and see a tear sliding down her face. "Are you crying? Why? You couldn't have gotten attached that quick." She keeps her head down and I groan, "Ugh, please stop crying." She wipes her face and sniffle, "Why are you crying?" "Because the old man promised me that you would take care of me. He lied to me, you're taking me back to that place." I throw my head back and close my eyes shut. By old man she means my father. "Okay, okay, okay. Stop crying, I'm not taking you back." ££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££ Niall Andrews is the son of a man who saves people that have been kidnapped.

Fall from Grace
In a world divided - the land of man, the land of beasts, and the land of demons - there lies a grey area serving as a nonpartisan area bordering the three realms. The Underground exists as a morally "grey" zone where the persons of the three kingdoms can (somewhat) peacefully coexist - if for no reason other than the pursuit of their vices. Fancy a bit of human meat for supper? The Underground is the best market for beast and human flesh alike. Longing for a slave to cater to your every desire? The Underground has a wide variety to choose from. Just wanting something on which to unleash your murderous intentions? The Underground won't bat an eye or bother with pesky questions. Lilith was a frequent item among the Underground. Once meant to be a contender for the throne of a small country in the human realm, she was disowned, sold in the Underground, traded, re-sold, and so-on for years until she is placed in a holding cell with a small beast child. She could only barely see his form in the dimly lit room made of stone, but she could see his green eyes glowing faintly like those of a cat looking towards a light. He spoke with a slight lisp, and his voice shook with fear when he finally began to respond to her questions. The pair form an unlikely bond that will change the course of both their lives in a way they never thought possible.

This book follows an African American boy as he wonders over into the white community something not usually done. Considering that during the year 1830's New York was severely divided into pocket communities helping keep the oppressed oppressed, since they would live in cramped apartment buildings with other families while the rich lived in manors. While the immigrants worked in factories the rich turned towards investments. Matthews~ (African American) 6 years old and on the street. I watch the other children get handed bread. I watch them get taken into the homes made for children like us. My clothes are tattered and torn. I go to bed underneath boxes or in garbage cans to stay warm. Annabelle~ 20 years old, the daughter of a noble getting ready for another social event. I walk with the other women who are ahead of me. They are giggling and talking about the recent engagements, the recent social gatherings, the recent investments that potential suitors have made, yet I am simply not interested. I would rather get a job. I want to get down and dirty. Daniel~ 21 years old, a nobleman that owns quite a few acres of land for farming. Father finally died. Leaving the estate to me. I will now be able to rent out the land instead of having father put outrageous buying prices on the damn property. No one can afford them in today's day in age. Not to mention that once the property is divided up into the sectors with their own little cottages we could have our own little self-sufficient economy if I play my cards right. No, my father ever the man he was decided it was too much of a risk. Well you can roll over in your grave. I never did like him. *Warning: There may be some harsh scenes while Matthews are on the streets, and scenes that deal with death.

The Price of Life - A Novella
SOOO we obviously didn't make the deadline lol. This story is unfinished and will remain that way. This is the best example of a rushed concept with no actual plot lol. I wrote blind and hated most of what I had written. I've redesigned this concept and I'm rewriting it with a stronger concept and a laid-out plot. I will release the rewrite when it's done. I'm keeping this published so I can look back at my growth and so others can also see the transformation if they are interested. [ROUND THREE QUALIFIER] Simone's family is her life until she is called as one of the hundred winners given a chance at a new life. When Simone Moss enters the Healthy Human Dome, she is pushed into a deadly game that challenges her in every way possible. While this dark game is filled with blood, it also forces her to face her inner demons and grow in unexpected ways. "Every life you take raises the price of your own. Are you worth more than any of them?" This is my entry to the 2021 Open Novella Contest. Thank you for reading, commenting, and voting. This is my first story outside of fantasy as well as my first 3rd person story. Good or bad, I'd love to hear what you think, it'll help me grow as a writer.Complete
Dawn (a Lams Vampire AU)
(I wrote this goddamn years ago, it's horrible and probably one of my biggest regrets in life :) Just a warning that this is extremely bad, and I was very lazy when writing it. If something doesn't make sense, I know, you don't have to comment about it, my writing skills have greatly improved since I wrote this and it does not deserve the amount of reads it gets. I don't recommend reading this, but if you want to go for it I guess. Seriously this isn't like an insecure thing, Lafayette gets raped and Philip dates Maria, it's not a good story. I kept venting in the authors notes. People keep commenting about weird things they find and trust me, I k n o w) 17 year old (or around 300 year old but his body stayed 17) John Laurens has finally found the chance to come out of hiding. His adoptive father has enrolled him in a near by high school and luckily found an apartment of 3 boys that had space for John and were willing to take him in. John had been to school in the past but had to leave after being turned, his father managed to forge paper work saying what school he was at before so that he could go and graduate, in order to help him live a pretty normal life. The young Vampire was expecting challenges, but he never expected to fall in love. A/N: I really hope I can keep this one up, I'm really excited to do it. Like normal no smut, but rape will be talked about. Alcohol, homophobia and disownment are also topics.Complete
The Price of Love
Yet another book I've written on Google Docs. Quarantine is boring, okay? I literally just finished this today so I'm uploading this like, right away. I'm not really great at these so yeah. This is an American Revolution AU but it's not actually really the American Revolution, if that makes any sense. Inspired by @RyanThePotato's Lams, Royal Legacies, but totally different. This isn't that terribly dark, but it's a war AU, so there's going to be death and blood. Lots of blood. No gore though. And this is one of my books, so expect trigger warnings but I don't say that there's going to be trigger warnings. Anyway, enjoy! I might change the title later, Idfk though.Complete
