What do you do when your all alone? I mean really alone, as in parents slaughtered before you and stuck in a cell for the rest of your life. I didn't have it easy, and probably never will. When I was 8 years old my village was overthrown by the emperors soldiers. Anyone who stood against them, where killed, like my parents. Me and my brother where all that was left to carry on my families name. My brother told me that the only way I could stay alive was to be a boy. So I cut my hair and wore his clothes just before the soldiers took us as prisoners. They took us both to an arena along with other prisoners to fight battles to the death as entertainment for the people and the emperor. Our lives where basically over, we had nothing left to loose but eachother. Day after day, we would train then fight in the arenas. Until one day, my brother never came back.

I stood on the edge of the rooftop. My eyes closed and my mind free. I'm ready. Now is the time. I could feel my breath quickening, Breathe in, Breathe out.

Diabolik Lovers: A House Full of Them
How do you describe your Hell? Being with your family all of the time? Being all alone? Or people won't leave you alone? None of those are for me. I love my family, hate being alone, and it doesn't bother me too much when people won't leave me alone. But mine is being in a house full of vampires. I used to live with my parents and older brother until they decided to send me to the Sakamaki residence to stay there for a little bit. My dad explained to me to be very careful for certain reasons. My mom gave me her old swords to take with me to protect myself. And my brother Aiden told me if he needs to go to the residence at all for any reason, is to just howl and he would be there as soon as possible. I never knew what it would be like living in a house full of vampires and I have to admit. It's pretty scary. These are kinds of things to get used to I guess. I could get used to this because they're all pretty cute. One is a little too quiet for me, one is too smart for me, another one is just a complete pervert, one is just plain creepy, one is a little bit aggressive, and another one is very protective and cares about me a lot. They say my blood tastes good, but why is my question?Complete
I Fell in Love with a Bad Boy
CRINGE WARNING! First book I ever wrote on here!! -- "Sometimes the person who you are willing to take a bullet for is the person behind the gun." I stood peering over the cold lifeless body that lay before my eyes. I had always thought of death the enemy, but right now, I blessed it upon the person who is now at peace. Sometimes you don't need to be the smartest, or the fastest, but you do need to be wisest. They say the blood runs deeper than water, and I believe it, because even though the people that we love can turn on us and begin to hate us, they are only human, meaning that soon they will begin to see how short life really is and how it is not to be wasted. People who seem perfect and they look like they have no floors'; they are the people who are suffering, like I was. But I found my savior in the most uncommon place. He was able to look through my mask, he saw the cracks, and tried to fix the broken girl that hid away deep inside the girl who only wanted to be seen as 'fine'. I slowly began to find comfort and safety in him, and I did the same to him. We were two broken people becoming whole. Someone once said when you pass, if you can count your true friends on one hand you are beyond lucky, and I even though I did not like the person that lay before me, I know that he once had true friends, including me. I'm a 17 year old girl who has suffered more than any other, beginning to believe that 'Hope' was just another word the people throw around. Until I fell in love with a badboy.

My Bully
"You're such a fucking slut. Get changed." He demanded. I could tell he was daring me to disobey by his stern glare. "No dad." I attempted to walk past him to go back to the party before he picked me up and threw me over his shoulder, walking us to his car. I screamed and kicked for him to let me down but he held on even tighter until aggressively slamming me into the passenger seat. Before he went to shut the door and go to the drivers side of the car he crouched down and leaned in to whisper in my ear. "If you get out of this car I'll get Luke out here so we can beat you up till you're bloody." He threatened, proceeding to slam the door shut. My ass was glued to that seat. -------- Lily is like any other 16 year old girl, horny and tired. She's tired of constantly being bullied by her brother and his best friend, Ethan. She's dealt with it her entire life, but something begins to change between her and Ethan. What felt like hate soon became lust. He's toxic, he's manipulative, he's mean, but somehow she's attracted to him. Of course neither wants to admit it though. Will their relationship actually work or will they both end up with their heads blown off? ------- Mature content⚠️ - mentions and some SA - cursing - abuse - depression and suicidal thoughts This is kinda dark romance. I don't endulge in romance like this it's just fun to write. This is also a slow burn. If you're impatient and want character development fast this book isn't for you. I want to keep this story as realistic as possible and people changing their ways overnight isn't. I also just love books where not everything is sped through and you really get to know the characters and their habits.

Soul Nite
My name is Jeremiah 'Joske' Wilson and I'm the main character, (Also this is book is a crazy story of my life btw). Anyway the last time you've seen me, I had just escaped a space rock (sorry 4 the spoiler). Here's a fun fact: both me and my brother, Tom are adopted cuz for some reason my parents just couldn't have kids of their own. Originally, the wanted to pick one, my mom chose me and my dad chose my brother. They couldn't decide who to pick so they adopted both of us. And so that's how life began... This is a little obvious, but my dad was stricter on me than Tom, and since I was 2 years older than him, I got the 1st born treatment (if you know what I mean). Anyway, Japan was always my favorite place to be. In fact, that's where I had grade school (primary school). And when I got to Jr. high, my dad became the headmaster of a school in a small town in Africa, the same town I grew up in. the town was more advanced than other towns around it and slightly bigger though I still loved Japan more. Two years ago my mom disappeared just a little while after I escaped the stone before then I would always strive to get 1st place in class just to get dads attention and for him to acknowledge me, but every time he would just ask me what I wanted and I would say the same thing every time, a trip to Japan. But after mom disappeared I remember what she always said to me "be a good boy Jerry and please try your best in everything you do, do it for me". So I decided to honor her wish and always came 1st for her except sometimes when I want to make Jake happy I'll just let him take 1st for a few terms then go back to 1st. Anyway enough about me. Jake is my best friend/rival and we've been friends for a long time I met him in Japan while in grade school and we've been friends ever since. His dad is the principal of our school while my dad is the head-master of school affairs so they know each other already.
