A dystopian story about a girl who saves the world by risking her life with a guy she just met to destroy an amulet that controls a robot army. Here is the first pharagraph :
It's a dark and rainy morning . I run as fast as I can non-stop.There's no place to hide from them . My lungs burn as I suck in a breath of the cold and frigid morning air around me . Running as fast as I can, almost out of breath I look for something . Anything I could use to escape them . As I run in my drenched sweatshirt , muddy grey tee , faded black skinny jeans and dirt covered converse I hold my people's only hope. A bright , glowing , ruby amulet . I round a corner down the dark alleyway and come to an abrupt halt . It's a dead end . I realize I'm trapped and do the only thing I can think of . I chuck the beautiful heart shaped amulet with the key as far as I can over the electric fence of the army base . Let's see how the government fends without the control of their precious army . They may have caught me but my people will still have Hope . Then the robots swarm in on me and I'm injected with something . It makes me feel nauseous and a bit woozy . My whole body goes numb and then I'm knocked out .

Cliché, Touché and Douche
{Completed - #12 highest} I was walking on a path all alone at midnight. I was just wondering around, until I saw a guy in a hoodie. He was beating the pulp out of another guy and one more man was on the ground, he was not moving. I gasped. 'Is he dead?' Or he can be unconscious, yeah 'el' he is just unconscious not dead. Duh! Who would kill a guy? As I was proceeding with my thoughts, that hoodie guy turned his face towards me. My heart had a mini heart attack. I turned my heels to the opposite direction and started to run. 'Run Ella, run for your life' was what my mind was screaming to me. I took turns without thinking, that guy was now following me and guess what? I took a wrong turn and which ended up being a dead end ' You are so dead' I thought. So, I started to think what I said last time to the people I love. 'Good night mom, love you.' to my mom, 'Stop annoying me! I'm going to bed.' to dad which also mean I love you, 'See you later Lu, love you!' to Luana. Okay my good bye says I love them all. Now I can die in peace. Granddad I'll meet you soon in the heaven, if you are there. I was still in my deep thoughts until I saw his silhouette. As, he get closer, my heart begin to race faster. I closed my eyes, until I heard him say "Ella?" O to the M to the G, this person actually knows me. I opened my one eye and saw him due to the small light hanging in that ally "Errrrr'ick!" I squeaked and mentally face palmed myself. Even at this state I'm calling him Errr'ick. "I'm sorry your highness, what can I do for you?" I squeaked again while trembling. The next second I heard his fits of laughter. He was rolling on the floor, actually rofling. I was glaring at him but I realised that I'm not in a position to glare. So, I made puppy dog face for him to spare my little life. He stopped but after seeing my face, he started to laugh again. He tried to say between his guffaws "You..... your face .....was epiccc!" He started to gasp for air and had tears in his eyes.Complete
She's The Girl Next Door (MAJOR EDITING)
'Bad Boys Ain't Good But Good Boys Ain't No Fun.' "Don't look, but it's the king of being horny behind you." I automatically looked behind me, making Autumn scoff at me. She shook her head. "Ace Ford." Autumn's face retorted in disgust. "Every girl's 'dream guy'." Her fingers made quotation marks. "Let me just tell you Jane, that boy is disgusting." Ace leaned against the railing of the bleachers. He pushed his dark brown hair back and smirked as he talked to one of the blonde cheerleaders. "How so?" I questioned, turning back towards her. She raised an eyebrow. "Just look at the guy, doesn't he just scream 'I won't have sex with you and immediately ditch you unless you have dubble D's and the IQ of a goldfish?'" "He can't be that bad." I said, causing her to snort. ___________ Warning: Very Mild cursing. That's why I'm making it PG13 guys. Read at own risk.

Justice before Blood ~ A Criminal Minds FanFiction Series ~ COMPLETED
COMPLETED! BOOK 2 in process! EDITING IN PROCESS! "Reid! Look out!" I scream as I push him over and I replace his spot. I try to turn around but I felt the pressure enter my neck. It sends me sprawling and collapsing to the ground. "Carrie!" I hear Morgan and Reid yell in unison. Darkness surrounds me and the gunshots echo and scream pass me. Glass shatters beside me and I feel my legs being dragged across the ground and place my back against a side of a car. I open my eyes barely and glass shatters above me. I press my hand against my neck and pull it away. A red trail runs down my hand and I look up and see someone that look extremely familiar just a few seconds ago. My vision became blurry and hard to see. I start to become extremely tired. I felt a hand press against my neck and winces throughout my body. I lowly grunt under my breath as it escapes me from the filled oxygen. I slightly open my eyes and see Reid. "Hey, just keep your eyes on me." He pulls his hand away and looks at the-the red liquid substances. "We need a medic!" His voice quivers. His eyes meet mine and I smile weakly. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I'm not what you call an average teenager. I graduate high-school at the age of 14 and college at 22 with an IQ of 176. My life or childhood was a devastating war between abuse and mental breakdown. I try to escape every time I could. Now, all that's payed off when I become the youngest FBI in the BAU Unit. My life is planned out and everything. Have my own apartment, car, and hopefully a job that I alway wanted. I'm only a new recruit. Draft... Maybe. But I never thought that's a battle until a serial killer runs through town.Complete
Poison Hearts | ✓
(Completed ✔️) We can't trust anyone. A zombie apocalypse erupts in the city and we flee to the country. There will be loss. There will be pain. This is my story. We might be brave, heroic, gallant, loyal. We might be selfish, egocentric, unkind, a betrayer. But in the end, we're just a couple of kids with poison hearts. **************************************** "A really good f*cking book" "I normally don't cry with books and movies and this had me verging on little tears of joy. It really proves how impressive your work is" "Addicting" (caution: language, violence, and suggestive material) An ENORMOUS thanks to TwinComics and Wolfy33 for all their support and feedback! Honestly they made this book happen and I'm not sure if I would've finished without them! Note: this book was first written when I was younger, so it gets better as it goes along. I think if it as the character maturing as the story goes on (as my writing gets better and more mature). But it is a little cringeworthy in the beginning, bear with me!! Note: (5/14/18) Hello new readers! I woke up this week to a boatload of notifications from you all. Thanks for checking out the story. Just wanted to let you know that I may re-write the end of this book so it isn't as confusing. Let me know what you think :) Highest Rankings: #6 in apocalypse #1 in escape #37 in undeadComplete

Be Careful What You Wish For Present:::
I'm not truly a writer nor good with words. I'm just a normal person trying to know who he/she really is. I can do lots of things. But for now, I think I'm gonna apply writing stuff. So I wrote this story based on a true story of the whole class of grade 7 and turned it into a magical but dangerous adventure. This story is about a girl hoping for her high school to turn more exciting than her sixth grade, but turned out to be less than she expected. As time passed she already missed being a sixth grader. So she wished to turn back time before she graduated but it was impossible for her to make it happen. Until... A ring she found in their retreat at her classmate's house. A ring with crystallized pose, indicated with aqua colors, and made of white gold with tiny blue crystals lined straight. A ring, that would change her life forever, if she succeeds. So join in as the student remark on an epic journey full of deadly viruses, colorful tents, and also tricky challenges when one wishes to turn back time and stop space. From dimension to dimension, few will survive, and the rest? Death! Unless... You read the story first excellent reader! Not to spoil anything but... To be honest, my story is awful... I expect lots of bad comments. So... hope you like it!Complete
Alkaria - unedited
I hear the clanking of metal loud and rigid from behind me, I feel the wind rush past as I sprint, they are still chasing me. I'll be honest I don't know what to do, quite frankly it's hard to think straight right now. I feel my body shutting down as the adrenaline is losing its punch, I can't run any faster. I'm always running, they are always chasing me. I don't even know why they chase me, I don't know what I did and like them they won't say. Do they even know? Am I just unlucky? Someone they picked at random to be the new subject of there torture? I wont let it happen. That's why I'll stay free, never fully contained. I think about the one I love, Charlie. I don't know where he is, I don't even know if he is safe. "Hey! Weapon down sarge, we don't want to kill her!" A guard's shout smacks me out of my train of thought. By this point I've gained some distance due to them having heavy armour. This stops me in my tracks though, I hear the guards slow down too. I stop, I realise, they want me alive. They aren't going to kill me, they don't want me dead. I have a gun, if I just point it at myself what are they going to do? I turn around and I look at all of the guards who have stopped in their tracks heaving in confusion. It's silent, even the wind is merely a whisper, all that can be heard is the panting of everyone on scene. They want me alive, they want me alive. I turn around, towards my chasers. I notice the guards straighten as I do so, instinctively I hold my gun to my neck, one bullet left, not enough for all of them but enough to kill me. They don't want me dead. I look to see all of them freeze in shock before one of the guards takes a step forward. I can't see their face, I can't see anyone's face but I feel like I need to know who this is. Before I can react they raise their gun and shoot. Pain explodes in my leg and I fall, all that running, for nothing. All I see now is black, I can't hear everything but I still feel conscious.
