"I won't let you fall, Ophelia. Ever. I will catch you. Always." He said, as I stared into his ocean blue eyes. "But what if you can't? What if the fall is inevitable?" And I knew I was going to fall. A fall so hard that maybe I would never recover but I waited for him to answer. To drive my worries away. "Then, I will fall with you..." And that was enough, for now. Enough for a lifetime. ••• Ophelia Hale was never the one to fall, not even by the charms of a siren. Like an unattainable dream and yet so close, Stellan Walker succeeds in uncovering the candour behind her smile. She shielded herself for as long as she could. But she never expected him to flicker something in her so foreign, for she discovered too late how she was drowning in his eyes. Because little did she realise, that sometimes, you don't fall for the sirens. Sometimes, you fall for the deep, tranquil ocean instead. And they were a mixture of calm and storm, but a beautiful mixture nevertheless. Though fate had never been benevolent on her, as she finds herself in twists, so tangled that she endangers the one love she always deserved. A story that is worth a lifetime, a forever.

❝Nobody can tell this story. Nobody but me.❞ Ω When Aaron McGannon struts into school with a gun and a plan, nobody is prepared.

Nothing, except the resounding declaration that skids across the asphalt of his mind: there will be blood. [ NO. 13 || 19.5.16 ]

"My sweet pea... You're going to do great things," he whispers in my ear. All of a sudden, I feel a rush go through my body. I can hear Michael's heartbeat again and I can't stop staring at his neck. I can feel myself start to sweat as I can't resist the urge much longer. "That depends on your definition of 'great'," I say and quickly grab him by the throat. I push my fingers into his throat in order to cut off his airway and limit his breathing. "I'm going to kill you and everyone you've ever known. I will rip them, piece by piece, and make them plead for mercy," I threaten and make my grip on his throat tighter. The look of fear in his eyes fuels my confidence even more. I then look at the side of his neck. I can't resist the hunger anymore, and he knows it. "Jess, don't! Please! I thought we were allies!" He struggles to say. "You thought wrong," I say and sink my teeth into his neck. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A story told by a not so nice young lady named Jessica Rose. *Warning this book has mature content, read at your own risk* *Slowly Editing*

To everyone I was Allison Grey, the fortune teller that owned a spiritual shop in downtown New York with weird smelling incense and crystals you've never even heard of. To Supernatural beings however, I was Allison Grey, the "above average Witch" of Manhattan that looked twenty two. That was far from the truth. You see, I was born in the 17th Century and had witnessed the assassinations of kings, world wars, the discovery of new continents, the fall of empires and the rise of dictators. I wasn't a time traveler, I was an immortal Sorceress. Specifically, I was turned from a prodigy White Witch into one of the most powerful Sorcerers that had ever existed in the entire world. It was now 2015 and the world I grew up in had gone into hiding, we only existed in the Grimm fairytales that parents would read to their children and I was adamant to help keep it that way. I now charged supernatural beings in America for my services and had a vast range of clients from Werewolves to Vampires and even the Fey or other Witches. Nobody knew the true extent of my powers and nobody knew my real agenda.
