I was a refugee in my own home, marked as a threat to the crown. We all were. Some of us came from royalty ourselves. My father was the Duke of Welshire, ambassador to the king himself. We lived in a fair home off of the cape with servants and maids. Our lands were supple and yielded much for the kingdom. Our manor was a glory for the eye to see. I was even betrothed to the duke of a neighboring land.
Then, the king's men came on horseback within the night. They stole our servants and set fire to our stables. They dragged my father from his chambers and declared him a traitor to the king. He was taken to be hanged in the square just as other nobles were. As for my sister and I, we fled. We ran into the forest behind our villa and stayed under cover of the shadows. We walked for days without food or hope until we found the camp that saved our lives. And saved we were, until they left us to die.
I was taken in once again, but this time, I was given the power to avenge my dead family. I was taught to trust friends, but they stabbed me in the back whenever I let down my guard. That is why I will lead my people to kill all who have wronged me. There is no hope in mankind. And they will rue what becomes of them, if my name isn't Lady Thana.

The Masquerade
"Leave." It was a simple word, spoken softly but with fury. "You are dismissed." As I turned to leave, Father grabbed his tea cup, and clenched it. Father never mistreated his tea cups. I had made him mad. No, the emotion was more than mad. It was absolute hatred. I had only made him this angry once before. Years ago, a younger version of me watched as broken pieces of porcelain drifted down the river behind the castle. Watching, he knew a severe punishment awaited him. I knew a severe punishment awaited me. ~~~ Prince America, next in line to the throne, oldest of four. Everyone knows his name.

Shadow's Curse
They took her. That's the last thing that burns in my mind, at least the most important thing that can come to mind. Everyone knew her, she was a sacred gem to the royals, her name was Tori LightningFlame. A dutchess soon to be married to Prince Spectre. That's how we all knew her, not how she used to roam through the walls of the city without permission (although I'm sure I only remember that), not how she would dance around the ballroom in her father's shoes with her friends until dawn. Everyone simply thought of her as a kind and generous person who would someday be our queen. But one day, Spectre thought differently, all I saw was when she was binded and screaming for help on the back of a horse driven carriage, guards yelling at her to quiet down or she would be burned. There was much talk arising in the lands after that day, some say she was taken and burned to her death miserably, others who speak the truth in our quaint town say she was taken away and cursed upon, making her a monster and could only thrive in her own world. Then we only believed that she was out of our lives and it was against the written laws to speak of her unless given permission. Even today, no one has spoken of her to me. And no one ever will. Possibly. When I was younger I heard most of the talk about Tori and Spectre being a stable boy, but it wasn't enough for me, I wanted a better job, I wanted to hear more about them, I wanted to be important there. So everyday for the past five years I've begged. And begged. And begged my father to let me at least attempt to become a squire. Ever since my tenth birthday I had hoped and wished for the day he would finally accept my plead. Every beck and call of mine was given in every form possible. Until one day he finally agreed. The day of my fifteenth birthday. It was an extraordinary day, one I could never forget.Complete
The reborn villainess; the end was just the beginning
My hands were stretched out to him. Expressing what my voice couldn't. I needed his help - even if it's just this once - I'd hoped he helped me. But he didn't reach out to me. Instead, I watch him turn his back at me. I watch him walk away when I needed him the most. Even after all she said, there was a part of me that hoped it wasn't true. Even if he doesn't love me - I'd thought he would at the very least liked me... maybe? I thought all the things I did for him would make him see me, tolerate me or something. But no. We kept drifting further apart. And it's all my fault. I simply did too much. I trusted the wrong person. Did the craziest things for love. Forgot my self worth. All these to earn his approval, his acknowledgment - for him to see me - none of which ever happened. And now, here I am. Lying in the pool of my own blood for someone who doesn't even care for my life or death. Oh, how I wish I could turn back time! I refuse to face my family like this. This is too shameful. For I've fallen too far from the woman I was raised to be. I dare not face my mama. Now, for the first time ever, I wish not to be seen, heard or even thought of- I wish not to be saved. I wish my soul disintegrates and scatters into nothingness . I wish to be completely erased from the universe. This story isn't edited yet. I apologize for some mistakes you might see. Your comments and advices are appreciated as this is my first book so it might be quite... Thank you
My Last Breath (Book one of The Portal Series)
BOOK ONE: Having enough courage to run through the woods and away from the people who convinced me they were saving me was not how I believed I'd spend my day. Yet, there I went escaping from the only place I knew existed in the world. Being held captive was too much for me, especially when these people wouldn't tell me who they were or even who I was. The first moment in my life I recall very clearly. I awoke in a dark room, with recollection of everything that happened in the world except for one thing. I had no memory of myself existing, I didn't know where I was or why these men kept me from leaving. Days after I first woke I asked plenty of questions, and yet none of them were answered. The only thing I learned was that I was not allowed outside because the woods heald the most powerful magic on the planet, the most dangerous magic. It was more than just bad men and curiosity about the forest that got me to leave, it was a pull towards something; towards magic. Once I was in the forest turning back was never an option, so I put it in my head that I'd keep walking until I found a civilization or a nice paved road that would lead to safety. But that never happened because the forest has a force living through it. Believing that the forest held something strange was the easy part but experiencing it myself was something totally different. I didn't expect anything normal but I didn't expect to be completly engulfed into the forest. I was led by an unknown presence that made me truly believe it was a living being, and in fact it is. I was innocent then, but now I know that anything can be hidden under a small platform in the woods with a secret bigger than the world itself. I was given life that day, until it all ended months later; the day I took my last breath.Complete
What Devils Do
They insinuate that it's all behind us but I know the reality. They blame me. If it wasn't for me, he would still be alive. I was the one who had to punish him for it by doing everything I could to destroy myself. Coming to France was my way of trying to erase it. An escape. But I've remained just as much an outsider as I was at home. Belonging has never been my strong suit. Even in my own family. I don't belong here either, but no mater how much I convey this to my captor, he never listens. He says that destiny is indiscriminate, that the differences between us are inconsequential in the scheme of things. Let's say that's true. That wouldn't change the fact that that I'm trapped by this underworld criminal and will be for the foreseeable future. He is elegant and dark, and I wished to hell I didn't want him. No matter how indignant I am because of my captivity, I always cave in the end. He owns my body. He subsumes my soul. He becomes my everything and the burden of guilt I've always carried melts away. My faults no longer belong to me. They belong to him. Everything belongs to him. He's a dangerous man, some even call him a monster, and I could have gone my whole life without meeting someone like him, so out of my circle of normal. But fate decided otherwise.

"It didn't have to be this way"
There is a world out there where I could have been happy. Where we could have been friends, and you could have benefited from what I know. Unfortunately, we don't live there. This is not a romance novel. Do not think this is a romance. Not all mobile devices will be able to show all the text accurately, as I use fonts as a conveyer of mental health. Warning Every warning you can think of. There will be gore rape torture and what is worse. Also, I make stories by writing the story plot and everything, and rewriting it to fit in the small details. The chapters all the final ones but the story itself has been finished.

So angry, Lady Beatrice, swore to make the King pay. So after mumbling a phrase, there an invisible wind strongly blew over to the castle and locked the King and everyone in it. Thus, left the Prince alone with his maid. A story my mother told me when I was six years old. Now, I just turned 18 years old and very much aware what's true and not. I don't really believe in fairy tales but what I do believe in are my own intuitions in life. It's true though, that I saw those parades of nobles but since very young, I didn't know whether they are what they seemed to be, real.Complete
