"Don't feel. Don't care."

That was now Reine's golden rule to everything and anything in her life. 

If you can even call it living.

After her parents' tragic death, nothing seemed to matter to her anymore. Or maybe she was just too scared to care or love anything again.

Because she, her, and herself, was the very cause of her parents' death and her family's ruin. Her and her uncontrollable and dangerous power to turn anything she touches into dust. 

But everything was not as simple as it seemed, for though she did not care for anyone, other people and groups had interest in her.

With the Diamonds, a group of world-class teenage thieves, suddenly wanting her to join them for no reason, and a mysterious group called Egregius, hot on her tail...

Could she strive to make valuable allies and attempt to survive? Or would giving up and running away always be the best option?

After all, everything eventually all end up in Ash and Dust.

Too bad his second chance at life didn't come with a warning label. Reborn into Ezura, a realm where magic flows like water and power corrupts like poison, Eren's pure heart makes him the perfect target. As an apprentice mage with stars in his eyes and trust in his soul, he dreams of becoming the hero in a world that has no use for them. But Ezura doesn't reward the pure-it devours them. When his faith in humanity is shattered by a betrayal that leaves him bleeding out in a ditch, something inside him breaks. Or maybe, something awakens. Gone is the boy who wanted to save everyone.

" Here is your order, Mam! " Sandra smiles. " Thanks! " The woman smiles back. Sandra smiles again and starts leaving. But something stops her on the track. " Ophelia? " The woman calls someone. Suddenly Sandra feels coldness and fear crawling under her skin. Her hands are shaking, making the tray shake along with them. She looks back at the woman and asks subconsciously with a trembling voice, " Yes? " The woman looks confused. There is now another woman sitting with her. The first woman asks, " Is your name Ophelia too? " Sandra doesn't reply and looks dazed. The second woman shakes her hands in front of Sandra's eyes. " Hello? " Sandra jerks out of her thoughts and shoots them an apologetic smile. " Sorry! I thought you called me! " " It's okay! That's why I asked your name! " The first woman smiles. " Oh! I am Sandra! " Sandra's voice is still shaking. " Then how can you get confused between Sandra and Ophelia? " The second woman gives her a weird look. " Both of them are so different! " " Um..I... Um..." Sandra stutters. " Sorry, gotta go! " She says and flees from there. She runs out of the shop and stands outside. Her eyes suddenly start brimming with tears. She hugs herself and whispers, " I am not confused at all! Both of them are my names! " She wipes the tears away and whispers again, " I am Sandra and..... I am Ophelia too! ********* Meet Sandra Fields, a girl with two names. One which she has inherited and another one that has been forced on her by someone who has made a web of lies, tortures, heartbreak, and betrayal... and trapped Sandra and her loved ones there. Follow her on the journey of her simple life... twisted by the burden of the dark past. Can she survive the cruel claw of the danger looming over her, save everyone, fall in love, and have a happy ending? Or is she going to be the puppet of it and be trapped in that web until she dies?

(FINISHED WRITING, BEING REVISED!) An only child, by the name of Nathaniel, has a very unfortunate life. Unpopular, bullied, and outcasted by everyone at school; even his own parents didn't want him! He's miserable... At least that was until his eighteenth birthday where he has the most bizarre encounter. A break-in at his own home from an organization that holds a secret from the entire world! Now, he attempts to find his life's purpose, coming across many friends as well as enemies, many obstacles, great pain, deep love, and important life lessons. It's up to him to decide whether or not he's the one in control of his own life. !!!CAUTION!!! IF YOU ARE ONE TO READ BOOKS BY THE LAST CHAPTER TO SEE IF YOU ARE INTERESTED, CHAPTERS TOWARD THE END OF THIS BOOK CONTAIN HUGE SPOILERS THAT MAY RUIN OR ALTER THE DESIRED EXPERIENCE AND ENJOYMENT AND IF YOU STILL WISH TO READ THE LAST CHAPTER I SUGGEST CHAPTER 53! Info of my writing style and this book: • This book is written from the first-person point of view. Everything he thinks about; everything you read, will be the exact moment of everything that's happening. When Nathaniel gets cut off and interrupted, his thoughts will be interrupted as well. • I'll put seven periods to indicate a change in the scene; to show that time has passed since the last scene. • Bolded names are important characters to Nathaniel and the story • This book contains vulgar and sometimes erotic descriptive language. • This book is targeted toward a young adult audience.

[# 88 in TEEN FICTION on 14/3/18.] [#5 in angerissues on 10/05/2018] COMPLETED!!! No matter where you come from, your dreams are always valid. RULE 1: Never let anyone under estimate the power of your dreams. RULE 2: Always follow rule one. These were the only principles little Ria lived by. Her devoting and protective nature always came out as harsh and bitch-y. Everytime she felt threatened, her claws came out, ready to defend...to destroy. It's only you who knows the value of your dreams. So, what will she do when her exterminator walks into her life, ready to ruin everything she lives for. She fight's. A fight between two souls. ________________________________ "Who do you think you are?" she asked, bravery seeping through every syllable leaving her mouth. A devil carves fear, and when you don't give him that, he is agitated. "Your nightmare baby." he smirked as he leaned closer to her. They say never look into his eyes...he is evil. Don't cross paths with him...he is unforgiving. Never challenge him...he is destructive. But what did she do??? Every damn thing she wasn't supposed to! Add a punch to the already shaky equation and you'll find yourself amidst drama...teenage drama. Is it right to let these two souls collide? "I am not your damn servant whom you order around, get that straight through your thick skull!" with that she walked away like a pro if I may say so...leaving him staring at the place where she previously stood. When an ego is hurt, revenge is born. "Come on guys. . .we need to sort out some things," all his friends could do was watch; watch helplessly, as destruction planted it's ugly claws into their lives. A tale of destruction, misery, loyalty, friendship, trust and betrayal. "If you call yourself a dreamer, I call myself a dream-snatcher. You won't even know what hit you, little girl," he thought, as he smirked wickedly at her retreating figure. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Has mild cursing be warned!
