His Slave Her Master by fangirltobefangirled
53 parts Complete Mature
Nat's first instinct when followed in the night is to run. But you can only run so far from something that cannot be seen. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Meet Natalie Rose, an eighteen year old girl just about to begin University. She has it all, a family that loves her, a good paying job, a boyfriend to live with. Never would she have expected for her world to quite literally turn upside down in one night. The saying 'wrong place at the wrong time' could definitely be referenced for this particular case. Nat is now on the run from her handsome and mysterious captor with rather odd intentions. His unpredictable behaviour baffles Nat to the point of insanity and the strange pull she feels towards him is unavoidable. Nat wants out, but things aren't always that easy. He needs her for something far greater than she could ever have possibly imagined. And if she leaves, not only will it effect him, but everything that he cares about, including Nat. Brought to a world distanced from her own, Nat feels herself growing accustomed to her new life, however with the understanding that she needs to get out and fast. The real question being: is Nat running from him, or her heart? After all, she is the vampires slave and he her master.

This copy of the book will remain on my profile for you all to read but I hope you guys will direct your attention to the new cast of characters in the new Resisting Business :) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Just because you don't fit in somewhere, doesn't mean you aren't destined for greatness.

When she decided that enough was enough, she was transported to a world beyond anyone's knowledge. Toontown. When she arrives, everything seems to start changing around her. The cogs keep getting stronger, fights between toons keep breaking out, it seems like hope is finally starting to be lost after years of nonstop fighting.

Y/N a 22 year old female, works at a club as a bartender, is lonely and doesn't have many friends other than her childhood friend Jack, who has a small crush on her. She lives alone in a apartment building, when suddenly a strange murderer appears in town killing tons of innocent people. Y/N doesn't seem so scared until a strange man with a cut smile and no eyelids appears in her room while she is sleeping. Will he kill her? Will they fall in love? Can she trust him and he trust her? Also I would like to say this real quick, but this is sort of like a enemies to lovers type of fanfic but it's a more quick rolling book in the beginning. But I always like to write these little notes to help readers understand what is going on in the book. So please enjoy and please don't hate on my terrible writing skills. X^X

COMPLETED✅ Two high school teenagers finding themselves, analyzing this ever changing world, and building love. This is the type of love you wish you found in high school but probably know way too well that it only exists as fiction. Today I'm turning my fiction to reality. ❣️•••❣️ Excerpt: Just as I was about to seek shelter under some building's roof, the tires of a car come to a halt, I wonder who might pity the lonely girl walking in the rain. The passenger window rolls down, and I spot the most unexpected person seated behind the wheel. "Get in" comes out his voice, and I must've stood there agape for a few moments because next comes his rhetorical question. "Are you getting in or continuing walking in the rain?" Eyebrows raised expectantly. He sounds annoyed, like he regrets his decision to ever stop and help me. ❣️•••❣️ #5 in cynical #2 in loveandfriendship #1 in opinionated #4 in ihatelife #10 in nerdgirl #10 in HighschoolRomance #26 in GoodGirlBadBoy *contains mature themes. *contains cursing.
