It was the year 2000 and I was just happily sitting watching TV when I heard my mum yell, "Go. Get away!". Then came the thud and the continuous banging of items or people tumbling down the stairs. Next was the click of a trigger being set, then the loud booming of the gun that killed my family.
I am still yet to know why they left in such a hurry and why my parents had no love in their entire body.
This story focuses on a young boy called Seven. It's about his life. He was called Seven because he was Seven when his family died, in the order of oldest to youngest at his care home he was seventh. In every race and every competition he entered, he always came seventh. No one knows his real name. That's the one secret his parents promised to take to their grave that never got broken. His own name was a secret to even him self. His birth certificate burnt and he owed no passport.
Seven was alone until on his 13th birthday a man came along to the care home and promised to take care of Seven forever, but as most promises do, it got broken. The man abused Seven and made him feel like a small helpless child and it wasn't until he was 15 the sound of the gun once again returned.

White Top Hats
It started when the rain fell. As it hit the windows rhythmically, I fought my sleep. Fighting off the demons in my dreams. I hadn't realized how real that dream became.

My depression became the best of me. What's worst then your family being slaughtered? Hiding in the closet from the killers. I should've helped, I should've been there for them. The pain between my chest and stomach was growing guilt. So I started thinking smart. Looking at everyone differently. I decided to reopen their cold cases.

Michael's Ghost Girl
This story is not getting the attention it deserves, so I am attempting to "re-brand" it. Maybe no one "gets" it. If you want to read about "Normal" teenagers, maybe this isn't for you, it's more complicated than that. It's about a teenager who doesn't fit it, but doesn't want to, who has the best two friends that anyone could have. Who watched his father lose his job in the Recession and then loses his home, and how he copes, especially when he learns that their new house is haunted and the ghost is in his room. Michael was an average kid, although he's always stood out. He was a school jock but also a skater whose long blond hair almost reaches his waist. When his parents lived in a house in a home owners association like all his other friends, life seemed normal. Then his father lost his job and suddenly those "friends" weren't there anymore--except for his two best friends, Short Round and Dewey. The three are skaters, good ones, who live for girls and their skateboards. They're also basically good kids who take pride in being different without paying attention to it. When Michael loses his home and his family has to move they have his back. And they are there for him when the ghost girl starts following him around. Mariah was murdered when she was just 15, her remains were never found, although no one but her and her ghost friend, Crazy Girl, know where their bodies are buried. The house Michael now lives in is the one where she lived with her family, and her old room is now his. She appears to him one night, trying to taunt him, but against her will she is falling in love with the boy who lives in her old room. Slowly the two begin to fall in love and Mariah tells him her story, and of the hidden danger that lies up the street from him. A dangerous strangers loves to kill little girls, and his sister KitComplete
The Mute Alpha
Zoe Ryker is the name and boy did I get myself into a heap of trouble. It just started as a walk in a near by wooded area. No big deal right? Weelll.... let's just say I wound up finding out I was mated with a werewolf. But not just any werewolf, mind you. I was mated to an Alpha. (Whatever that means.) See I'm human. I grew up in a foster care system and was told werewolves were a stuff of fantasy. So when I'm told that my 'mate' is a leader of not just one or two werewolves but a whole pack, I'm speechless. To top it all off he can't speak. A childhood accident left him mute. So what am I suppose to believe? How is this going to work? OH! And don't let me forget, some dark secrets of the past are starting to arise. My head is whirling with all this information. I'm going to lay down or something. Watch a movie. You go ahead and read about it. Tell me how it ends. See ya!Complete
Enchanted

Her fate had been decided for her much longer before she even had been conceived in the womb. So it came as no surprise when she found herself back at the beginning. As if the pain she has previously experienced wasn't enough, she now needs to relearn how to balance her life. She can't help but pray to the universe for a break. She was exhausted from fighting for all she had and watching her life fall apart just as quickly as it had come back together. Dominic's life was something he would forever be grateful for since he knew that he never had it as rough as others. But there were always going to be times that he wanted to give up. With the responsibility of leading an entire mafia and his own past commitment issues, he believes the barrier to letting go is far greater than what others tell him. And when new desires emerge, he notes how his heart skips a beat whenever he sees her. His instinct kicks in, and he raises his barriers twice as high as she lowers hers to make place for him. All I was guilty of, was showing them mercy when no one else would. ~~~ "I saw you, Dominic. I wish you saw me." "I see you." I freeze at his words, my back facing him. "I can only see you. Everything I look at, everything I touch, everything I smell always leads back to you. I spent most of my life thinking that my heart was my biggest weakness. I always imagined that it would be my downfall. I had a loving family and that was enough for me. Getting a girlfriend, getting married, having a family, none of that mattered to me. Before you." He pauses, taking a breath and my eyes water. "I kept any other part of my heart guarded and almost locked. It was as if I didn't have one at all. Even now, its still fucked up. The lock I've kept is warned out though the only person who has its key is you. It's yours."Complete
