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.

Shocked, Bella stills for a second before she absently blurts out a quiet "Okay" Alexander walks towards her after getting her permission and takes the strings in his hands. As he undoes the crossed pattern, his fingers brush against her skin and almost reveal her generous chest. "W-what are you doing?" She asks in a whisper as she holds the top so it doesn't open completely and reveals herself to him. "I'm fixing it" His deep husky voice only worsens her state and accelerates her heartbeat. ______________________________ What could you expect when the whole college art department is invited to an exhibition of an famous photographer? Some would say a night to pass some hours and enjoy art, some might even say a boring way to pass your Saturday night because the art turned out to be something that they don't like. But for Bella it was all but that. She didn't expect to connect with his art in more ways than profesional. She didn't expect to cry over it because it brought back some memories. But what she definitely didn't expect is an job offer, a sweet male companion and a possible lover. But did these two connect simply because they have same interests? Or did fate tangled her fingers into their lives?

The Lost Life of Laraine by BearGoRawr
55 parts Ongoing
She lead a rather tragic life. The black sheep of her family due to her lack of affinity for fire. Her affinity was quite the opposite. Water in fact. Already in a time when women did not really have much political power or rights, she was outcasted by her family despite being of nobility. Still allowed to live in the distant west wing of the massive Grand Duke's manor, she has never eaten a single meal with her family nor extended family, and has spent her loneliness in her books and sword lessons. Although only taught by the head butler and one of the low ranked knights of the family, she was quite bright and if her family would have given her a chance she would have done great things. If only she didn't die at such a young age. Married off to some "hero" of sort that had slayed the Dragon of the North who was terrorizing the land and threatened the kingdom, this hero also had an affinity for fire and held her in disdain like the rest of her family. Suddenly a girl of another world was transported to their world, picked up by this hero and put into his secure care. The pair soon fell for each other despite the hero's marriage, and many believed Laraine got jealous of this girl of mystery, and tried to kill her. This was definitely not true. But because the girl was favored by the temple and kingdom Laraine was quickly arrested and put on trial. You can probably tell what happened to Laraine. But something strange happened the day of her execution. As soon as her decapitated head hit the ground the sky turned blood red and it began to rain fire. No one survived that day. But for some reason time went back, and Laraine was back to being a child, but with no memory of her future. There were select few in her life, however, that remembered her tragedy and now perhaps will take action to prevent it. NOTE: I'M AWARE THERE ARE A LOT OF INCONSISTENCIES. IT WILL BE EDITED SOME DAY BUT RIGHT NOW I'M JUST TRYING TO FINISH IT.
