"How dare you bring me aboard this ship without so much as telling me what you are?" She yelled.

Kincade let out a smug grin, one that infuriated Astryd even more. She took a few more steps toward him so that they were mere feet apart.

He looked down at a doubloon he was holding and slowly turned it over in his hands as he spoke. "I saw a troubled woman in a sailor's pub, obviously hiding from the royal guards. Surely you must have gotten yourself into a sticky situation. And you don't expect me to assume what you are?"

Astryd fumbled for words. What was he getting at?

He lifted his head to look her in the eyes. "You're a thief and now a sailor. You know what that makes you, sweetheart?"

"I am not a..." she shouted, but she stumbled at the last word. She pointed her finger in Kincade's face and whispered, "pirate."

I said it in a whisper, and my tears began to fall. I hid in the wardrobe like instructed. There was lots of screaming and yelling. My body uncontrollably shook from fear. The door was opened to our house. The small creak echos through the room. I trembled in fear as I peaked through the small gap. I covered my mouth to stop my scream from coming out. The pirates were walking around, opening drawers and cabinets, and tossing beds. One man approached the wardrobe. I close my eyes and bend down, holding my body as I hug my knees. The wardrobe was opened. I can't help the tears that are leaving my eyes. I still haven't made any eye contact with them yet. Fear is running rampant. "Look what we have here, boys." He says.

An unlikely stow-away is caught stealing food from the galley of one notoriously known Captain Sera Wright. When the crew begins debating the fate of the young woman, will the captain go along with it? Or step in and make a decision that will change their lives forever? *Belle French from Once Upon a Time is a main contender in this work. However, it is my take on her character, and she is not the Belle from Storybrooke. She is from the Wish Realm (just go with it). This is a fanfiction based around situations and characters from the show Once Upon a Time. I do not own anything that comes from the show. Sera Wright is my character, and NO ONE has my permission to use her, or her name. **This is a collection of scenes involving two characters, Belle and an Orginal Character of my creation. Sera is mine. Steal her and I will hunt you down. Sera's crew of misfits are also mine. Steal them, and Todd will keelhaul your sorry self. ***This is a companion piece to accompany a roleplay I write with a friend. Therefore elements have been changed. It was written for fun. If you don't like same-sex couples, original characters, or non-canon events, then take a hike, because I can just about guarantee you won't like this. ****This story will contain graphic depictions of a sexual nature as well as the following: Violence, gore, medical practices and childbirth. There will be a warning at the top of each chapter that contains these, as not all of them will. As always, I want to thank anyone and everyone for reading, voting and commenting. The dedication of my readers is astounding and a true blessing. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Lily expected her adoption to fix all her problems. Living in the developing City of Statera, she begins to question her true place on the floating piece of land. After what was meant to be a quick favour, Lily learns of a Sea wide exhibition accessible to boys only. Determined to make her way in, she enrols at Salen Academy for Young Men and Boys. But what will she do when a blue-eyed, dark-haired, mockingly rich and ever so egotistical boy, finds every waking moment to remind her that she is but a small pawn in a larger chessboard? At an all boys school. Entering an all boys competition. With a crew of all boys. You'd have to be one special girl. "You're a virgin." "Shut it Hazar." She spat. "C'mon, admit it for once Writt, you are an undeniable virgin." He scoffed. "Why do you care so much if I am or not?" She challenged him. He hesitated. But not for long. "I don't. I just like watching you squirm." "Oh that's a hobby of yours? Making girls squirm in agony of having to speak to you?" She was so fed up with him. "Well..." He mumbled, walking to an old portrait and running his finger along the dusty rim of it, "Making them squirm, period, is a particular interest of mine." "You're pathetic." She barked. He walked up to her, a few feet away from her body. "Say that again..." He hummed, in a faint whisper. "You're. Pathetic." She sharply cursed. He smirked, devilishly. "No Writt," Cas stepped into her space, nose inches away from hers, he took his right hand and dragged it up her thigh, "Virgins... are pathetic." He finished the sentence at her hipbone. Lily's breath caught as he ran it up her leg, she didn't like physical touch. From anyone. So why on Marine, did it feel so good, so right, when he did?
Duel Summoners: Rise of the Nexus (Old version) by Soejammy
6 parts Complete Mature
(This book is being remade) So here we go again with another story idea my friends! What I have here is an idea that was solely based on the anime of Avengers: Disk Wars, and a Card Gotcha game that's on a Discord server I am on. This will take place in the human world where everything is normal as usual. But one day, everything changes with a presented new game that goes world wide. A cellular phone game where anime characters from various series are put together in one place. A game that allows you to gather together your favorite characters to collect. What follows is a battle where special fights are carried out between either two fighters or more. Each side chooses who fights in a battle against each other. Each character has their own sets of abilities to use from and passive abilities that can last throughout the battle. When the battle ends with the victors, the enemy player must relinquish a card of the winner's choice in card. Three years goes by as the game is known by everyone and is funded periodically with more characters that meets the eye of anyone in a specific genre. One day, a man by the name of Samuel Price, picks the game up and begins to play the game one late night. On a night with a raging storm that shakes the whole world and changes his life forever. Neptune: *eats popcorn and drops some into the description* Soejammy: Neptune! Stop eating popcorn there! All the butter in those things is gonna make the book greasy! Neptune: You have no control over me! Soejammy: *was about to say something but doesn't* Y-You know what? You can do whatever you want. Just don't let it hinder what I do... Neptune: Sure thing! Soejammy: Thank you, Neptune. The disclaimer will be put into the story as to avoid any copyright infringement. Hope you enjoy the story. Neptune: Keep getting those cards people! *Uses Soejammy's phone and claims a Black Heart* Aw what?! I already have 50 of these! Soejammy: *looks at Neptune* That...is some luck...
When The Heart Sings by CrystalScherer

Power and money didn't really interest Serena, instead she wished for a life of peace and safety. Barely able to afford a bus pass, it was mere chance that she saw a man in handcuffs being escorted by police. And he saw her. Several groups wanted to control him to suit their own purposes, but he could not be controlled by force. He only wanted one thing - and it was her. I will be your heart, if you will be my shield. * * * Sneak Peek * * * I pitied the man, although with that many cops around him, he was likely quite dangerous. Who needed 30 police officers to supervise one guy who was likely in handcuffs and leg shackles? I absentmindedly watched the man walk down the gauntlet between the rows of officers. It was as if I couldn't look away. He paused and looked around. His brilliant glowing blue eyes seemed to meet mine across the vast distance. I couldn't even blink as his eyes seemed to hold mine. The trees of a park broke our locked gaze as the bus kept on driving. I took a deep breath, suddenly realizing that I had stopped breathing the moment our eyes had met. I had never seen such blue eyes before - and they glowed! A shiver ran through me. I had been too far away to even determine the color of the police officers' hair, let alone know the color of the man's eyes. My eyes watched the trees, hoping for a break in them so I could see the man again. I had no such luck. --------------------------------------------------- Please note that this story has nothing to do with any of my other stories. This is an action romance with my usual sci fi twists.
