"Robin Hood..." Lara mumbled all of a sudden, her eyes landing on Emma's copy of it on the coffee table.
Felix frowned. ''Come again?''
''Robin Hood,'' Fernando repeated in thought, before grinning. ''That's it! Lara, you're a genius!''
Lara chuckled. ''Of course I am,'' she said with a wave of her hand, before frowning. ''Wait, why?''
''Robin Hood stole from the rich and gave to the poor, right?'' Fernando said, looking at his brother and the girls. ''It's perfect! We'll--''
''Rob the robbers and return the stuff to their rightful owners,'' Felix finished with a grin on his face. ''We'll be The Merry Men!''
Lara and Emma coughed. ''Girls,'' they said, pointing at themselves with their eyebrows raised.
Fernando shrugged. ''How about The Merry Gang, then?'' he asked everyone.
They all exchanged looks and grinned.
---
Felix and Fernando Martinez have been with The Bounty Hunters - the most dangerous criminal gang of America - ever since their parents died. In order to not get kicked out they get a last chance: to rob the richest mansion in town. It is more than coincidence then when they run into Lara Hargrove there - the daughter of famous entrepreneur Jackson Hargrove - who steals for her own reasons and lives with her best friend Emma Simmons after refusing to follow her father in his footsteps
The four of them end up together, and then decide they can make themselves into better people. They create The Merry Gang, and will steal the stolen goods from The Bounty Hunters and bring them back to their original owners. But will this gang last, or will they all fall back with their own demons?

World Against Us (Unleashed #1)
"Go ahead, but Rose..." He starts to whisper and I swear there was probably a sparkle in my eyes as I cover my mouth to muffle my giggle. I grab one of the old-fashion bows and a pack filled with arrows. Axel arms encircle around me and I smirk. We were standing so close. I could feel him breathe practically. "Rosalina!" R calls out. "Shh!" Axel shushes me as I try so hard not to laugh at what I'm about to do next. R turns, his back to us. "Now, now!" Whispers Axel quickly. I draw the arrow and aim for R's hair. We've practiced this many times before, Axel and I, in his room. The action seems to fluid, so natural. I let go of the arrow and it flies towards R. R turns and grabs it with his quick reflexes. He stares at it, turning it over it his hands. His eyebrows furrow as he sniffs it and they shoot up in surprise when he realizes the scent. "Rose, this wasn't funny." He says, twisting the arrow and snapping it in half with his bare hands. I can't help myself. His oblivious expression is too funny and I burst into laughter. Axel grins and grabs my hand. I notice the action but don't say anything. But his hand feels right in mine. "Come on, let's go before he kills us." ______________________________ 16-year old, Rosalina Hunter's life is everything but usual.

THE SPACE BETWEEN US
"COME ON!" he yelled, popping back up and slicking his hair out of his face like he was in a shampoo commercial. "IT'S NOT THAT BAD!" "That's what people say right before they die," I muttered, clutching my towel tighter around my shoulders. Kai was already stripping off his shirt like we were in an Abercrombie & Fitch: Wilderness Edition ad. Robin, on the other hand, was sitting safely on a rock with a bag of chips, observing the chaos with a judgmental squint and zero intention of getting wet. "You going in?" Felix asked beside me, voice soft but teasing. He had his hoodie slung over one shoulder, his shirt lifted slightly where he was fidgeting with the hem. I looked at him, suspicious. "Are you?" He gave a one-shouldered shrug. "Only if you do." "Oh, so if I drown from hypothermia, you're cool going down with me?" "Basically," he said, and smiled-the real kind. The crooked, honest kind. The kind I was starting to crave without meaning to. And just like that, my stubborn pride made the decision for me. "Fine. But if I die, I'm haunting you first." ...

The Corner Store
I fell for a boy with the kindest blue eyes, and a charming dimple. He made me feel loved, and cared for, and most importantly he made me feel safe in his presence. He came right in the middle of a tornadoe and managed to turn it into blue skies. He changed my perspective and gave me hope and strength." I looked at him, and he was smiling, and his eyes were a little glossy. He took my hand and kissed it, a small tear caught in the corner of his beautiful eyes. "I thought, hey, maybe life isn't so bad after all. Maybe I can finally allow myself to love and be loved, and to live life normally. When we went to your party, you told me to wait for you. But then your perverted cousin made me feel super uncomfortable, so I went looking for you, just to be able to feel at peace again. And that's when I saw it."

Ashes Of You And I (Completed) | ✔️
"Her troubled eyes held fire. The kind of fire that was capable of burning me to ash." ***** I grabbed her chin with my free hand, making her look at me. "I hate that I don't know you. I hate not being a part of your life, like I was before." I leaned a little closer, as her intoxicating scent filled my lungs. "Trust me, I can't hate you, no matter how hard I tried." "So you have... " It came out as more of a question than a statement from her as she looked at me with her big blue eyes. "What?" I frowned, dropping my hand from her chin and grabbing her hand, instead. "You have tried hating me then?" She asked, tilting her head to the side. This time it sounded more like a statement than a question. "I have." I sighed, dropping my head in shame. "And it made me lose the most important person in my life." ***** One night.

Robin is just like any other teenage girl. She loves to run, hang with her friends, and is obsessed with her cell phone. Oh, and she's known by her city as The Hood, the mysterious figure that takes down those that are corrupt and wealthy with the help of her merry men - her three computer genius friends that are expert hackers. Her current target? Richard Sherwood, CEO of Sherwood Innovations. He has a net worth of multiple billions (exact amount unknown) and has been grooming his son to be the heir to his empire. Oh, and he happens to be involved in the death of Robin's parents and the disappearance of countless other innocents in the city. So, what's a girl to do? Stand back and watch a selfish, malevolent man take down the city with his bare hands? No. She's going to steal from the rich and give back to the poor, of course. But even though she has her secret weapon, Golden Arrow, and her tech savvy best friends, stealing from the most powerful man in the city from his Sherwood Tower office building is much easier said than done. *** This is my entry for the Once Upon Now, Target//Wattpad Contest.
