this school is family and i won't let anything happen to them
couple of months since Emma and Alaric found out their daughters had imprints. It's been a couple of months since they have been going back and forth from Forks and Mystic Falls.
The girls — Lizzie, Josie, Hope, and Clary were all in the living room of the school, cuddling, and laughing when the one and only Penelope Parker walked in and froze.
"What in the actual hell?" Penelope asked, staring between the sisters and Hope. "When did this happen?"
Hope simply smirked up at Penelope, wrapping an arm around the twins.
"Since a few months ago," Josie spoke up, staring Penelope straight in the eyes. "After you left."
Penelope looked over the four of them, her dark eyes narrowed. "There is no way..."
"Oh, and Satan-in-a-croptop, we were much happier when you were gone," Lizzie states which made heat rise in Penelope's eyes. She was annoyed and angry.
"Oh, why don't you burn," Penelope snapped and that resulted in both Hope and Clary growling in defense, and Josie to jump up from her seat. "JoJo—"
"Oh, don't 'JoJo' me!" Josie snapped which shock Penelope to her core. "Lizzie is my sister, my twin, and she will always be. I love her, and nothing you can say or do will change that. If you have a problem, I suggest you keep it to yourself or else."
"Or else what?" Penelope asked, thinking Josie was still the same co-dependent, naive girl before she left.
"I will crush you," Josie spoke, malice in her voice and eyes. "You have no idea what we have went through or what Lizzie has done for me." She stepped closer to the She-devil and stared her straight in the eyes, not backing down. "And, while I'm at it, don't even try to worm your way into my heart again, I have moved on." She held up her left hand which showed off a very beautiful promise ring that Embry had given her a few weeks ago.

"What is this?" Penelope scoffed, looking between them. "I though you hated her," she said to Hope, pointing to Lizzie. "I don't understand this."
"You don't have to understand this or like it, but you will not be mean or I will burn you." Clary stated, standing up, lightly pushing Josie behind her. Her girls stood behind her.
And just like that, the Salvatore Boarding School's front door opened, and in came the pack, laughing and pushing each other.
Seth approached Lizzie and lifted her up on the air, before bringing her down, and kissing her. "Hey, dove," he called her by the nickname that he had given her.
"Guys, look, it's my beautiful girlfriend!" Embry shouted loudly and ran towards Josie, pulling her into his embrace while swinging her in a circle in giddiness. "Hey," he grinned down at her and placed a gentle kiss on her lips which she smiled brightly at.
"Hey, love!" Paul grabbed Clary by her waist and twirled her around, and she was giggling before she spun around, and placed a kiss on his lips. "I love you."
"I love you too," she said before kissing him, again.
"What the fuck?!" Penelope threw her hands up, her eyes wide, and mouth agape. "There is no universe in which Clary Saltzman would tell anyone she loves them, and there is no way anyone would willingly be in a relationship with Saltzman."
Seth, Embry, and Paul growled at that, glaring at the she-devil who stepped back in surprise.
"Stay the hell away from them!" Leah marched into the room, glaring at the evil witch.
"And who the hell are you?!" Penelope spat out before her eyes widened in surprise at Hope who grabbed the girls hand and placed a delicate kiss on it. "What the—"

"What's going on in here?" Alaric asked as he walked into the room, his eyes looking between them. "Should I just go ahead and tell Bella and Charlie to stay away?"
Clary abruptly looked over at Alaric to see Bella and Charlie right behind him, surprised by the hostile tension that was in the room.
"What are you guys doing here?" Clary walked up to them, hugging them.
"We wanted to come to the place where you grew up," Charlie stated, looking around with eyes full of awe. "I'm surprised you ever wanted to leave this place. Its amazing."
"Hold up," Penelope spoke, walking up to them. "You're the dad and sister who practically abandoned Clary?" She scoffed and turned to the redhead. "You have become soft — forgiving people who ruined your life. Gosh." She scuffed and walked away, shaking her head.
"And who was that?" Bella asked, narrowing her eyes after the short haired girl.
"That was—"
She was interrupted when Lizzie said, "She-who-shall-not-be-named. Talking about her gives her power."
Josie scoffed. "That was my ex — Penelope. She left us, and now she's back... apparently." She turned her attention to her father.
Alaric widened his eyes and stared at his daughters who were glaring at him. "Um..." he cleared his throat before saying, "she called, and who am I to turn down a supernatural creature who wants to be here?"
Clary shook her head before grabbing Charlies and Bella's arms. "Come on. We'll show you around."

Helena's Plane
Paul, a bored young man, wakes up in a white room. A young woman tells him he has died, that she is some kind of god who likes videogames and he will be reborn in an RPG-esque world so she and her fellow god-friends can watch him for entertainment.Unfortunately, the goddess forgot to give Paul most of the obligatory, obvious cheat-abilities to make him rush to power in easy mode. Paul embraces his new life full of clichés, perverts, magic, loot and action. And animal girls.18+ !CONTAINS GRAPHIC VIOLENCE AND SEXUAL CONTENT! (Actual sex is still hard to find, but you will get it. Eventually. Sporadically.) =================Author's note:So, this is my very first novel. It will be poorly written, has a huge info-dump disguised as a first chapter (to be rewritten. At some point in the future. I guess.), and may or may not offend everyone for different reasons. Perhaps you will just find it boring, which would be even worse. The description turned out a bit comedic, but the story isn't overly so.I have a rough idea of where this will be going, but expect some bumps on the road, as well as logic holes, flat characters and a lot of borderline copyright infringements from all the ideas I got reading other works. And did I mention I'm not a native speaker? No? Well, expect some embarrassing grammar and wording choices.The main character is a more or less normal guy, without high morals, martial arts skills or even a desirable goal in life. There is mature content, in terms of violence and sexual content. It won't become a full-blown erotic novel, and it may or may not be your cup of tea when it comes to the type of content.Critics welcome.
