George is running again.

George hates planes. She hates the bus. She hates her old pick up truck. She hates the sound her feet make when they touch concrete. But her hatred beats all when it comes to pages that are folded to be used as bookmarks. Certain pages are forever bended no matter how hard she tries to flatten them. Certain books that are held close to her chest as she climbs her fifth train, the only transportation she is able to bare. All books come to an end, the book cover met at the end proves that. George is not ready to let go of the words formed for her enjoyment, she's not ready to let go of the stories. She doesn't want to be saved by her knight in shining armor, but in her story she doesn't have a choice. 

George Massot is seventeen years old and high on beginnings. The beginnings of books, the beginnings of movies, and the beginnings of the five lives she has created for herself. 

Dylan Bates is high on his tenth cigarette. 

''Everything has a ending'' he says the smoke from his cig diminished by his foot now covering it as he looked back up into a pair of two persistent brown eyes.

''It doesn't have to''

"Running from me already, little one?" The voice was a whisper against my skin, dark and knowing. I turned too fast. Too desperate. He was closer than I expected-tall, lean muscle wrapped in black silk. Whiskey-colored eyes traced my lips, my throat. Slow. Unrelenting. "Do I feel familiar?" I swallowed hard. "No." He smirked. "Liar." His fingers brushed my wrist, and a current shot through me. My breath hitched. My body knew him. Even if my mind refused to. But that was impossible... wasn't it? - Kathryn Laurent came to Paris for a fresh start. What she found was something else entirely-something dark, intoxicating, inescapable. The dreams started first. A man with burning whiskey eyes. A touch that ignited and destroyed in equal measure. A voice that echoed in her bones. In those dreams, he ruined her-slowly, relentlessly-until she woke trembling, her body marked by something that should not be real. Then she saw him. Flesh and blood. Real. A star. A shadow. A presence that bent the world around him. He watches her like he knows every inch of her body. Like he's had her before and intends to again. But Kate doesn't remember him. And he? He has spent centuries remembering her. The past is tangled in the present, passion twisted with possession, love with vengeance. He is both her salvation and her downfall. The man who haunts her dreams and now, her reality. And when he finally touches her, there will be no waking up from it. Some loves are written in the stars. Some are written in blood. And some were never meant to be forgotten. - Tropes & Themes : ★ Dark, seductive romance ★ Fated lovers, past-life obsession ★ Mysterious, brooding hero with a sinful touch ★ Tension so thick it lingers like a ghost ★ Paris-luxury, shadows, and whispered temptation ★ Dreams that leave evidence behind ★ Mature, explicit smut-raw, consuming, inevitable ★ A love too powerful to stay buried ★ The line between fate and possession 18+

COMPLETED Living a life you didn't sign up for is hard, but doing so while feeling lost is harder. Dylan Amity is a musical prodigy. He could play a range of instruments, from the electric guitar to his violin. He lived, ate, and breathed music and was on track to becoming the orchestra's lead violinist. He was ready to become one of history's best composers. But he decided to place his dreams on hold for a while when he found out that his dad, the CEO of Amity Industry, was diagnosed with stage three lung cancer. His dad's death was expected, but the way he died wasn't. After the reading of the will, Dylan is faced with the harsh reality that you don't always get what you want. Following a short period of grief, Dylan is thrust into a world of business, responsibilities, and guardianship. He never wanted to be CEO, but now he has to because it's what his dad wanted. He also never expected to be Amber's, his thirteen-year-old sister's, legal guardian. Dylan has to put his dreams aside as he learns to navigate his new life without any experience of being a CEO or a guardian. Without a guide, Dylan is bound to feel lost, but maybe Rose could help. Maybe she could teach him how to deal with it. ••• Sneak Peek: "You know what, Amber? At least I'm fucking trying!" I gritted out, meeting her eyes that practically blazed with fury. "Yeah! Trying to act like papa. But guess what, Dylan, you never cared about me or what I did!" She screamed, taking steps back towards the stairs. "You never cared when I was a baby, you didn't care when I was a toddler, and guess what! You don't care now. You're only pretending to care to make yourself feel better. But you don't! No one fucking cares."

He held onto my arms like I would fall back into insane babbling again if he didn't. I felt so much safer when he was there, I know I was no safer then I was without him but with him there... I didn't feel so alone. He squeezed my upper arms tightly, like he was reassuring me of a pain he thought I was feeling. Or maybe he was reassuring himself. I couldn't tell. He dropped his eyes as he gathered a breath into his lungs, a ghostly silence suddenly taking over the Glade. "Everything here was bad... Until you came up through that box. I am here to protect you, you... You give me a sense of purpose when I didn't have one before" ~ Malaya, the new wailing addition to the Glade.

But not to the sweet second in command, showing some sympathy they stuck together. Bark the glade dog entering Malaya's life soon after Minho, they were the perfect team. A living hope dwindled within the childish giggles they shared. Until the trials came. The burden title everyone painted on her head was surely removed. She could run. Alby was bound to make her a runner, but she didn't want to. A fear she didn't understand shook her away from the Maze. So in her effort to avoid Alby and her runner job she seeked refuge within Newts care... Only to fall for him more... But that was it... Falling for him was enough to blind her of fear, she needed to save him. Her world was taken over by her determination to save Newt and her friends, she pushed herself to be a runner. But the further she went into the maze the more she started to remember, the more WICKED began to show there traces within her. But the only way to free her friends... Was to retread those terrifying traces. "I don't want to remember"

My Soulmate- A Fireman Sam Elvis x Penny Story by UltimateElvnyFan

This is my first fanfic, so it may or may not be bad. All I have to say is that it's going to be about Penny x Elvis, because their aren't many fanfictions about them out there, so I wanted to grow that part of the fandom, because I ship this ship SOOOOOOOOOO hard! btw the characters are going to be similar to their original personalities, so sam is going to be inventive, elvis is going to be the clumsy and shy sidekick, and steele is the stern one. They are also going to look how they originally looked, so sam will have a quiff and elvis shall have his long nose again and be tall!!! So this is what it's about: Five firefighters. All friends. Sam, the brave hero next door, Elvis the clumsy and forgetful sidekick, Penny, the fearless one, Ellie, the action girl, and Arnold, the nerd. Station Officer Steele is in charge, always with a stern glance. But there's something happening underneath all of this. With Sam, Arnold, and Joe inventing a mysterious and possibly dangerous invention, Norman Price about to turn ten years old, Steele and Boyce's rivalry growing, dark secrets are revealed. Elvis has always felt something for Penny. Whenever he sees her his heartrate increases. However, for the past 8 years he's kept this feeling hidden deep within his soul, thinking that she probably likes Sam or Ben or someone. However, the girl of his dreams may have also fallen for the clumsy firefighter... As Norman and Derek begin to claim finding a 'treasure,' Trevor Evans ends up in the hospital, Elvis begins to have strange dreams about keeping his feelings hidden. Perhaps, it's best to live life while you're young... (set about series 10-11) (Also there may be some Ellie x Arnold in there, but i'm probably going to make a separate fanfic about that)

"You and I aren't so different you know," he points out, putting a cigarette between his lips and lighting it. "Yeah? How so?" I ask. "We both did something we regret, put in juvie for it, put in this dumb ass rehabilitation support group, and are on their way to hell," he starts. "But you know the greatest of them all?" "What?" "We got one way tickets, baby," he smiles, blowing his cigarette smoke in my face. ~*~ Copyright 2017 by imadivergentfangirl All rights reserved.
