Opal was born in Poland. In 1922. She was there for the German invasion and her family was executed in the middle of town. 

Except she survived the gunfire.

She was tested on by German doctors who loved needles and hated when she complained. She was saved by a kind British doctor who got her onto a boat to England and was then killed for it. She rebelled for a couple decades with sex and drugs and rock'n'roll, then came back when the man that chose to take care of her in England, her "Poppy," got sick.

Once she was left alone again after he passed away, she tried to be friends with a boy in a bookstore. She trusted him with her secret.

He told it to the whole town.

She left, took odd jobs here and there to keep herself going, and made it to Bristol where she's trying to start over again. Trying to leave her ghosts behind.

But they always come back to haunt her. Especially in a town like this.All Rights Reserved

The Last Dance by BluSterling

'I've had cancer all my life, and they don't know how much longer I'll last.' -- They met on social media and became close friends. But they both held secrets. Luna Myers was a cancer patient, and had been since birth. She had constantly been taking chemo every week or month since she was old enough for the medicine. She basically lived in the hospital, but the cancer kept coming back, no matter how much the doctors kept helping to get rid of it. So she spent time on the internet, with people she met across the globe, including Ember Olive. But there was only so much that they could do before they had to give up and face the fact that she was dying. -- Ember Olive had been diagnosed with severe depression since he was fourteen, going to therapy and group meetings ever since his diagnosis. He only ever felt the tiniest bit happy when he was on the internet, with his internet friends. The only thing raising the meter higher was Luna Myers, the happy girl that kept his spirits up, and the thing that made him want to hide everything wrong with him from her. -- But this book isn't about them. It's about their night at prom, and confessing secrets. It also involves what happens afterwards. :)

Fated To Be by blueadv3

If God is not going to punish the sinner then I WILL. People sometimes say to you, "Don't bother with them, their karma will come back to them someday". That is why sometimes people break themself in order to wait for that moment. But sometimes that moment never comes and you yourself are the one rotting away in this miserable life, so why wait when you could put your hands in it? "You are wrong. Whether I am here or not, your punishment will always come to you, I just.. make it much sooner for you. As I didn't have time to wait any longer", he said with a dark gloomy eyes that had lost their lights. When Shen Wei ran away at the age of 15 years old, he never thought that he would come back again, trying to untie the knot that had been lingering in his heart for years, he came back once again trying to understand some events, but to be honest, for him, it is just an excuse, he just wants to see the lights once again, to be able to proudly says "Mom, I have made it, the sinner have already been punished and you have nothing to worry about anymore". Even if it means to drag others down to hell with him. Shen Wei, "Because since the beginning, we have not been given a choice, we have been entangled in this trap, if we don't struggle to get away, you and I will surely lose. And I.. am not the type of person who will easily let other people bully me" Notes: First time making my own character, I think it will be hard for me to clearly describe how the character would be, but I will try my best. I must say first that the timeline is around the early 20th century.. probably, it is fictional, so there must be things that are different compared to the history. Thank you for understanding and reading my work.

Mr. Regnante [Mafioso Book#1] (SAMPLE) by StationaryObsession

*Heighest ranking 26th in Love, 1st in General Fiction, and 1st in Tragedy, as well as no#1 in mystery* When you're the most feared and powerful Italian Mafia Boss, you cannot have the world know of your existence or of any personal ties you may have. Otherwise bad things tend to happen, and this man learned that lesson the hard way. Now, he refuses to allow anyone close to him, much less get anywhere past his cold exterior. Their story wasn't meant to begin like it did. They weren't meant to meet the way they did. After all, she was only a university student and he was a ghost. Nonexistent, a rumor, a story you told your children at night. But when the most unforeseen circumstances cause their paths to cross, not once, not twice, but thrice--an encounter that ends with the vow of discretion and avoidance. They have no choice but to acknowledge they have to stay away before one of them gets hurt. Which is exactly what happens. This causes another encounter between the two, but this time with a promise of safety and security, because he owes her his life. *** "I say what I mean, and I do what I say." He assured in a low rumbling voice that had her transported back to older times. "And when I say I will keep you safe, believe me, that not even a hair on your head will be touched."

Bleak Hearts by EliCatRuss

Russia... that is where everything started. The perfect snow in winter, the perfect house that kept you warm and cosy, and for Octavia Zorina Radmilla it was the only real home she had even known. She was only sixteen but in 1784 many people were already wed or soon to be, Octavia was one of those soon to be types. A humble rock upon her finger, looping her pale skinned ring finger, with some sort of gold plated metal. Octavia Milo. The name didn't quite seem to fit but what is a name other than a way to identify a body. She would wear the name with pride, knowing she would be the talk of the town for marrying Spyder Dragan Milo. A dark soul, or so it appeared. Ever since the boy had been born something hung over his head like a shadow but that is what made him so wonderful to young Octavia. A curse, a curse with no rules, or at least rules that always changed. No matter how hard the two teens tried, there seemed to be no loopholes. We won't start at the beginning, that won't make sense, at least not this time. Spyder and Octavia were doomed to be this way, living life after life trying to find one another but every time they remembered who they were, they would die... or at least one of them would, leaving the other two options, to continue until their next life cycle or to end it and try again. Of course it is never that simple. Especially when someone keeps changing the rules. The only stable thing they knew, was that they will always remember before they die, whoever had died first the previous life, would be the first to remember. and they would always find each other. No matter how long it took.
