The souls receive more flowers than the living because remorse is stronger than gratitude...
      
∞ ∞ ∞
      
ZOEY ORTIZ ISN'T JUST ANY GIRL.
She was born with a gift. A gift that makes her a very special girl. A Gifted. And although she wasn't blessed with one of the most prized gifts, like scrolling through time, or going to exploit other universes, it's a very useful gift. A gift that a lot of people would want to possess.
      
BECAUSE SHE DOESN'T JUST SEE THE SOULS.
That would be really useful but not in no way note-worthy.  Countless Gifted before her had been able to do that. Seeing the souls - ghosts. But Zoey is different. She doesn't just see the souls.
      
SHE CONTROLS WHO LIVES AND WHO DIES.
All she needs is a simple touch. Only one touch and she can end someone's life. It only takes long enough for her to see the pain in their eyes, feel their soul leaving their body and then watching the light go out of their eyes.
     
ANYONE WHO TOUCHES HER HAS PRECISELY TWO SECONDS TO LIVE.
She killed her own mother. Just like so many more people after that - all accidents, but still, she killed them.
   
HER TOUCH IS LETHAL. HER TOUCH IS POWER.
She's the only thing holding the world together.

SHE WAS MADE TO BE THE ULTIMATE KILLER AND PROTECTOR.
To love and to hate. To kill and to protect. To save and to punish.

IS THERE ANY GREATER CURSE?
      
ADD A BADASS MOUTH-WATERING GIFTED BOY HELL-BENT ON PROTECTING HER TO THE MIX AND YOU GOT YOURSELF A VERY BIG PROBLEM...
      
CAN THE WORLD TAKE THE WAR THAT'S COMING?
Because she refuses to sink without a fight.

EVEN IF IT KILLS HER.

Death Is My BFFLAD (Book Two Original Series) by katrocks247
24 parts Complete
(Bfflad- Best friends for life and death) Dear Reader, Let's start at the beginning shall we? I died. Oh no, not one of these stories again where someone angelic and heroic saves the damsel in distress. If only I was that lucky. My heart stopped beating. My lungs stopped working, my soul began to lift away... And then I was saved by a beautiful man with a kind heart and sparkles sprinkled around his head in a golden halo. A cunning, dazzling smile etched his angled features and his hair lay perfectly on his head like...black, sinful layers of pure cynical distrusting evil. Evil that was just waiting to onset a innocent girl as myself and allow her a short amount of time of happiness, and then finish her off when she became older. I'll give you a hint. The beginning of that description was slightly exaggerated. The Angel of Death. One of the only creatures known that was capable of settling the boundaries of heaven on earth. The only creature capable of making one of the Devil's darkest deals to my loving mother; a second chance for her daughter. This comes with consequences of course. Everything you know about Death is wrong. Death is not natural, Death is not normal, Death is not doleful, and Death is far from mercenary. Death blends into the shadows like coal against the most atramentous sky. Death walks the earth with his cursed, monstrous and exotic features, his enticing voice and betraying alluring eyes. Death deceives, scratches, and plays with your mind, until you slowly and painfully loose your grip on reality. He'll make you believe he's a different person, that there's a sliver hope for him. Hope for you. Death is close. Forever and always, Faith Williams ************ DIMBFF FAN CLUB ON FACEBOOK: http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.1605057011183.80718.1378871754&type=1#!/groups/308207282529485/ **** MY WRITING PAGE!

"I only have one request if you're going to keep me in suspense all day long." "What's that?" The movement of her lips drew his eyes down. "Let me kiss you again?" That voice, breathy and low, set Taly's heart racing. His lips twitched at the corners-he could hear it. Now that he could use his magic, he knew exactly the kind of effect he was having on her. But he didn't move. He waited. Her choice. She set the pace. Taking a shaky breath, she jerked her head. Yes. *** Magic marked her for suffering. Magic will save her. Magic will lead her home. On Tempris, time magic is outlawed, and suspected time mages are hunted. Humans are second-class citizens, shunned by the immortal fey that live on the island. They even have a name for their kind: Shardless. Taly is one of the lucky humans. Taken in by a fey noble and his family, she's lived a good life, surrounded by people she loves. But when an accidental brush with magic causes her to see things -- ghostly apparitions that give her small glimpses into the future -- it has deadly consequences. The Sanctorum has returned to the island, and if they find her, they'll kill her. And anyone that tries to protect her. This includes her best friend, Skye. He was the boy that saved her. The man she knew she could never have. And when he refuses to let her go, their actions might hold the power to reshape the world. An ancient evil is rising, and in order to protect those that she cares for, Taly will have to sacrifice everything. Including her heart.
