When Anna Marie Harris was six, she ran away from her parents to see a magic bell dance. Once there, a dark man with eyes like stardust, told her that one day she would dance with them when the white rose bud he gave her bloomed.   
Twelve years later, Anna is 18 and still dancing. But, she still thinks about that bell dance all those years ago. 
Was it all a dream? Is she crazy? Her best friend might think so. But when a poster, and a parade filled with magic, points her to an abandon warehouse, Anna jumps on the chance to find out just what happened all those years ago.   
What she finds is an empty doorway, hiding an impossible world. 
A world filled with blue horses, singing mermaids, and waterfall doorways. A world where dreams and reality clash, and friendly faces can hide evil souls. 
 A place where dancing is considered a religion, and a dance instructor is more a master than a mentor...And he looks just like that man from all those years ago...
 Anna finds that not all that sparkles is magic, and not all dark magic is evil.  Time is running out for Anna to discover who is a friend, and who is a foe.

Aetherwell by BDCochran24
24 parts Ongoing Mature
"Aetherwell" is a tapestry woven with threads of love, confusion, and raw, untamed chaos. At its heart lies Solona, a teenager utterly unlike any other. Raised in the secluded simplicity of a forgotten corner of the world, she grew up in the profound ignorance of humanity's true nature. The very concept of magic, the mystical currents that flow beneath the surface of reality, was utterly foreign to her until the day she was found. Lost and adrift, a flicker of vulnerability in the vast wilderness, she was discovered by the coven - a clandestine group whose existence shattered her naive worldview. Plunged into a world of arcane rituals and hidden power, Solona grapples with a maelstrom of emotions. She's overwhelmed by the sheer magnitude of her latent abilities, powers that bloom haphazardly, both exhilarating and terrifying in their unpredictability. Every spell is a struggle, a dance with forces she barely understands, and fear often whispers at her shoulders, threatening to consume her. But amidst this dizzying transformation, a new feeling blossoms, a forbidden flame sparked by the enigmatic presence of Dorian. Dorian is the embodiment of everything Solona is not: composed, brilliant, and effortlessly powerful. He is the top student, the star pupil of the coven, his magic imbued with precision and grace. He moves through this world of enchantments with a confidence that both intimidates and captivates Solona. As she struggles to master her powers, a burgeoning passion for this captivating young man takes root, further complicating her already tumultuous journey. Aetherwell isn't just about magic; it's about the fragile beauty of first love blooming amidst the storm, and the chaotic path of self-discovery in a world that has suddenly become far more complex than she ever imagined.

In a world where magical creatures and humans intermix, there are two types of magic and two types of people. Dark magic and light magic. Good people and evil people. Our main character is going to learn that your powers do not define who you are as a person. Arion Griffin lives in a society where people with light magic are 'good' and people with dark magic are 'bad'. He comes from a long line of dark magic. Unfortunately, this causes many problems for his social life since his family's reputation precedes him and makes it so no one will talk with him. He is worried it will make his greatest fear come true. He is terrified he is on the path to becoming evil like his parents. Then, one day at school he gets an invitation from Cassiopeia's School for the Gifted. Sure he's heard of it, but only in rumors. The school is just for magical creatures to learn more about themselves and their history. It was made over three hundred years ago and still run by a fairy named Cassiopea and her daughter Cassia. Arion is excited to go because his parents refuse to teach him anything about other magical creatures other than dark magic. They believe it is irrelevant for him to know because they think he will take over the world one day. And why should a leader know anything about his subjects? Arion convinces his parents that if he goes to the school he can do recon on the other magical people so he can learn about them and make it easier for him to take over. With no friends, no siblings, and a very negative outlook on life, he heads to Cassiopeia's School for the Gifted. He makes friends and learns that just because he has dark magic, doesn't mean he is evil. *Idk if this is actually a good story but I had a lot of fun writing it! :) *This story has been edited

"The fuck you are leaving me." He snapped and growled at his mate. She was calm as she was ever be regardless of his snapping. She sighed and turned around to leave without saying something to him because it was worthless. There was no point in talking and especially to him. He grabbed her arm before she put one step. "Where do you think you are going Ara?" He growled so loudly as everyone shuddered watching their interaction. She quickly remove his hand as anger rolling off of her in waves. "Don't. Touch. Me. So you think I will live here and watch you mate and breed that female." She snapped at him. "She meant nothing Ara." He said after a minute. She laughed, literally laughed but without any humor. "That's why you were fucking her in your office just a minutes before, don't you?" "It was a mistake." He tried to reason with her. "But in your case mistakes happened in more than one time. And they said mistakes happened only one time." She said sarcastically. "I don't need her. I need you." He said again desperately. "Lies. All lies coming from your mouth. I feel disgusted just by looking at you, let alone talking to you. And you said you need me? Ha. Very funny. You don't need me and I sure as hell don't need you. This female behind your back is more enough than me. Breed her, mark her or fuck her. I DON'T FUCKING CARE." "I am sorry. I am really fucking sorry." He said brokenly as kneeling on the ground. A small laugh escaped from her lips. "Isn't it too late for that mate?" And she left just like that while single tear rolled down her cheeks. He had made mistakes. Mistakes that will cost him everything. He knew he had lost her and this time completely. She was broken. Again. He did break her, repair her just to break her again leaving a broken shattered woman but strong willed. ---------------------------------------------------- The cruel, sadistic Rogue Alpha and his caring, lovable Witch mate. Will it be too late for him to say sorry?

Before I begin, I just want to say that this story does include some mature themes. I will also give out a warning a chapter prior to these scenes. Getting that out of the way, let's go onto the story description... *This book contains explicit content* *EXTRACT FROM THE BOOK* I stared at him, cooking and whistling, something that I could not do, or should I say, wasn't bothered to do. I decided to move away and to try and find an exit but I didn't even take one step back when I heard his voice. "Princess? Is that you?" I saw him raise his head before shooting his eyes onto me. The sudden gaze caused to heart to race while it froze my body as if I have turned into ice. I felt the fear engulf my body, eating me inside out. "You aren't scared of me... Are you?" he asked me, I sensed the envy in his voice. That mixed with his harsh tone caused a wave of goosebumps to course through my body. I wanted to begin by asking him where was I? Why was I here? Why was he here... I wanted to ask him, but I couldn't, the fear was just all too much for me. "Come on... Speak to me... Ask me..." he began. "Ask me 'why am I here' and all of that crap... Entertain me with your fear." I saw him slowly gripping a knife that was on the countertop, with his eyes still on mine. The sides of his mouth slowly began tilting upwards. All the bitterness and the cold, it was all so visible in his eyes. I looked at him in horror, noticing him as he took his first steps towards me. "Talk to me... Because this might be the only time you will ever be able to talk, " he said this sentence in such a calm tone, it caused me once again to shiver with goosebumps. "W-what do you mean...". Never in my life have I stuttered, until then.
