"I think you should leave." I raise my eyebrow at her quiet words and try to conceal the hurt as my stomach drops, cringing internally as it crashes right through rock bottom. "What?" Ashley flinches at my acidic tone, stepping back into the wall. I stand, the stinging in my foot fading as anger begins to curse through me. Every swear word imaginable races through my head, and I fight the urge to let them all tumble out. Ashley swallows loudly, the scent of fear engulfing me for a moment but the smell fades as her chocolate eyes narrow and meet mine steadily, anger rotting the air between us. "You let me marry you, you let me fall in love with you and not once did you mention you were some monster." Her usually gentle voice is mixed with anger and fear as she spits out the words. If it was possible my heart just fell further, probably straight into hell. A monster? Pain and anger engulf me again, and I take another step towards her, ignoring the stench of her fear and anger. "A monster?" I barely manage to repeat out the word, pain and anger clouding my eyes. Or maybe just tears. My mates' eyes widen as she realizes the meaning of the spiteful words that had erupted from her. A growl forms in the back of my throat and she shrinks back, almost sinking into the wall to escape my furious glare. "I didn't tell you because I was afraid this is how you'd react! If you want me to leave, then fine I'll leave. But this is my house too, and I refuse to sleep outside like some wild dog." Since the day she was born in 1817 Riley had been a planner. She always thought ahead, and she always knew what she was going to do. She was not the type to just follow her instincts. And before him, she had never needed to. Before him, no one had ever found out who she was. What she was. But with a few insulting words and menacing glances, he ruined everything, and she was going to make him pay.

Brittany Potter was very quiet. Quiet and small. Mouse-like as her brother, Harry, put it. She wished for a life away from trouble in an area where most people hated her. Then the letters come. Brittany goes off to a magical school to find that escaping trouble was never the answer. Creating it was. Like a fox. Watch out, Hogwarts, because if you thought James was bad? Meet Brittany. In this fanfiction, James is Indian and Hermione's mum is black, making Harry, Hermione, and Brittany biracial. Not that you can tell, because race doesn't effect (affect? I can never tell) how people act. Brittany's not entirley straight, and neither is her future girlfriend. If it offends you, please move on. I warned you. :) Disclaimer: Characters, places, and anything you recognize is J.K. Rowling's. I only created Brittany and Emma, as well as any other OC's or deviations from the original plot. Ending written before Cursed Child came out. The rest, however, was mostly after. So I write the end first, don't think I'm crazy.

Nico spends his days in the city, slashing demons and creatures and such. Lefu Hughes spends her days on the streets, holding the hand of her dead brother. Odd? Just slightly, but Nico Di Angelo takes this as the opportunity to recreate Lefu's life back into the way she would have wanted it. Starting from the beginning. {Heroes of Olympus Fanfic, original character } *Slightly rewritten. Honestly, this book is too old and far too bad for me to repair without rewriting the entire thing. Apologies in advance.

Every morning, this was my routine. Every morning, I had an hour of pure bliss that was then suffocated by the rest of my day in the closet. Every day, I hid who I was. I was ready for a change.

❝The Citrus Syndrome is just about the worst way there is to die. It starts with the physical illness. Vomiting, chills, hot flashes, abdominal pains, fever, muscle aches, bleeding, coughing, fatigue, headache, nausea -- You name it, we've got it. Oh, rashes too. At least it's not difficult to identify someone suffering from it. All the test subjects shared the same ashen complexion, same watery eyes and deteriorating bodies. It eats you from the inside out, until you crumble into nothing. Sure, you might say, that's bad. But what makes this the absolute worse way to die? The psychological stage. You're lucky, if you don't make it that far. Hopefully, you just contract it and kill yourself or choke on your own vomit -- spare yourself the pain. In our research, we were able to locate the part of the brain that first latches onto phobia. The part that holds your deepest fears, and where they came from. By far, the most dangerous part of the brain to mess with. I was never present for the physical experiments. Ignorance is bliss, they say. I put my chemistry degree to good use, and that was all. I didn't want to see what happened to the test subjects. We had been convinced that everything happening at the facility was humane. But I wasn't so sure.❞ #235 in Science Fiction 2/12/17 Cover by @calebwhite13
