Control.
It's kind of important.
Especially if your cursed with the powers to make anyone do anything you want whenever you want and they'll do it with a great big grin and ask if they did it to your liking. Even if that something is killing their own brother or mother or son or even slitting their own throat. They will do it and they will say they did it because they love and worship you.
That is a very messed up but very valid reason why it's important to have control. Not over others. But over yourself. Or more to the point. Myself.
I have to be in complete control at all times. Over myself. Why? Because I'm a monster. Or more to the point I have the potential to be a monster. A monster that would be worshipped like a God and would know true and absolute power. You know that human saying. Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Well from what I know it's true.
My father learned it the hard way. He was a prince that had the same cursed powers. That's where I got my own nifty curse. Passed down to me from my father. I think I would have liked a pony better. But you scream you cry you suck it up and you deal. There is no moving on from having this curse. This power within you that once you start using it it will devour you mind and soul and turn you into some kind of blood thirsty wanna be God.
When you are born with the power of this kind... well... you learn the importance of control. Don't slip. Never slip up. Because the first time you do. It could be the time you fall into that endless bottomless crazy pit of bloodthirsty loony toon land. Then not just you but the whole damn world could be, and most likely will, be truely fucked.
So lesson 1... Always stay in control.

Daybreak Apocrypha - Arcus Primarius
Long ago, our planet was visited by beings from another world, and they built cities here and created human beings here based on their own DNA but modified to suit the Earth's environment. We humans referred to them as their gods, who taught them the knowledge of their world, on which our world was modeled after. But alas, they were flawed beings, just like us humans. They had complicated romantic relationships with each other and with humans, and also led human populations to fight war with each other using weapons of mass destruction over their petty disagreements. Human beings are still part of that legacy. A group of enlightened people who have reincarnated many times from those days to learn that this is not the way forward. Pooling their resources together, they have decided to try and put an end to this vicious cycle once and for all. But how much do they know? How much control do they have over their destiny? Will they succeed? Or will they fall prey to the machinations of their enemy, whose identity they don't even know.Complete

That was until the day they came out of existence and started to up rule the world. Now they control everything, most importantly the human race. Some call them monsters, some call them the demons sending, but they are the purebloods, the first vampires to be created. They're the ones that capture us and sell us off as their slaves. They are soulless creatures that couldn't give a damn about anyone but themselves and their every need. ** This is my story about how I, Miabella Nicole Arksin, became a slave to the most powerful pureblood, Ronan Pierre. *This is the first story I've written so sorry if there's a couple mistakes here and there I'll try my best to fix them and thanks for reading :-)*Complete
Roses for Rachel
I was sure the worst thing to ever happen to me would be being kidnapped, and sure, that was pretty bad. However, what was worse was being kidnapped, held captive for years, and then being auctioned off to the highest bidder. I thought maybe I had caught a little break when I found out that me and five other girls were being sold to royalty, but I should have known something about that wasn't right either. Under the cover of eternal darkness, and deep beneath the ground, was a whole world I never even dreamed existed in my wildest dreams. It was a world that promised to be more than anything I could imagine. The people who bought us told us we would have the luxurious life of a princess, but there were only two catches... 1. We would be competing against each other for the affection of the Prince who would change our whole lives by picking one of us to rule at his side. 2. That prince just happened to be a vampire.Complete

When you're little you're surrounded by people that you're supposed to trust and feel safe with. The people God gave you are supposed to protect and nourish you, they're supposed to encourage positive growth, teach you right from wrong.

Bruised, Broken... Chosen
Her father thought he could cheat me. Borrow what wasn't his, disappear, and leave nothing but a trail of debt in his wake. Men like him never learn-there's always a cost, always someone left to bleed for their mistakes. He thought it would be him. Instead, it's her. His daughter. At first, she was nothing but a message. A way to make him suffer, even if he never came back to see it. I broke her down the way I break everything-piece by piece, scream by scream. I wanted her fear, her pain, the ruin in her eyes every time I came close. She hated me, and I fed on it. That's all I believed in: control, power, the reminder that I own what others abandon. But somewhere between her sobs and her defiance, she changed the rules. She fought me, and I should have killed her for it. Instead, I wanted more. She cried, and instead of silencing her, I listened. She looked at me, even in terror, and for the first time in my life I couldn't look away. I don't believe in love. I never have. Love is weakness, a lie people tell themselves before the knife comes out. But she... she's different. She's sharp where she should be soft. Brave when she should be broken. She makes me hunger in ways that no amount of blood or vengeance ever could. I meant to ruin her. To make her pay for the sins of her father. Now I want to claim her as mine. Not because of love-no, I don't use that word. I don't trust it. But because she drags something out of me I thought was dead. Something dangerous. She wasn't supposed to matter. But she does. And if I have to chain her, break her, and rebuild her until she finally sees me the way I see her, then so be it. She'll be my wife. My possession. My salvation. Even if I have to destroy her first.
Crazy Mafia Queen- Part 1- draft 1
They say the world doesn't revolve around anyone. But for her, it did. Every action, every word, every breath she took sent ripples through the lives of those around her. A single misstep-no matter how small-left scars so deep they infected everything they touched. They never asked what she wanted. They didn't care. To them, she was power. A weapon. A curse and a blessing wrapped in silk and steel. A pawn in a war she never asked to fight. But they made a mistake. They pushed her too far. Because when a person loses everything-when they're stripped bare, when their mind frays at the edges, when the last tether holding them to sanity snaps-what's left isn't human. It's something else. Something terrifying. And now, the world will learn that the most dangerous thing isn't power. It's a woman who's done being controlled. . . . Lesson 1 - Being underestimated isn't a weakness. It's the sharpest weapon in your arsenal. Lesson 2 - Love is neither strength nor weakness. It's a chain-whether it binds or breaks you depends on who's holding the other end. Lesson 3 - Revenge isn't something you forgive. It isn't something you forget. It's something that lingers, festers, and demands to be fed. Lesson 4 - Fear isn't taught. It's carved into us from birth. The world just keeps digging deeper. Lesson 5 - No one loses their mind without reason. Madness is not born-it's made. And there's always a trigger.Complete
