《Girls Like Girls » Jane Volturi》ONE ✔️
Advertisement
Aurora sat on her front porch in boredom. She had called Bella about twenty times with no response. It was no surprise. Following the brisk departure of Edward Cullen and his family, Bella had fallen into a depressive episode; only recently she started to reach out to her friends again. Despite this, she had become increasingly worried for her friend as she glanced down at her phone, many texts to Bella unanswered.
Aurora's attention was stolen however when she saw a familiar car pull into her driveway holding Bella and Alice, the latter with her window rolled down.
"Get in," said Alice, nodding her head towards the door. Aurora didn't question her, recognizing the slight panic in the vampire's voice.
Alice pulled out of the driveway quickly, barely giving Aurora time to buckle herself in. "So where are we going?"
"Italy." Alice answered simply. Aurora blinked, it wasn't the mall or movies, or any other answer she would have expected.
"Uh, Alice?" Alice hummed in response. "There's this little thing in the way called the ocean."
Alice rolled her eyes, "We'll get there. Don't worry. We just have to get there on time to stop Edward from killing himself."
This, of course, panicked Aurora. "What? Why on earth would he do that?!" Though Aurora didn't necessarily care for the bronze haired-boy, seeing as he left Bella making her go into a state of depression, she didn't want him to kill himself.
"Alice, we can't drag Aurora into this." Bella mumbled, still overwhelmed by everything that was going on.
"Trust me, I've seen it." Alice reasoned. "We'll need Aurora with us."
Alice was a reckless driver, not that Aurora didn't understand the urgency, but that didn't stop her from fearing for both her and Bella's safety.

"Why are they all wearing red?" Bella asked anxiously, bringing her knees to her chest and grabbing her hair. She wanted to think about anything other than her boyfriend - ex-boyfriend? - killing himself.
"They're commemorating the expulsion of vampires from the city." Alice answered, "It's the perfect setting. The Volturi will never let him get far enough to reveal himself."
Aurora tuned out Alice and Bella, too focused on the festival going on around them. Everyone looked so happy, it brought a smile to her face and made her momentarily forget why they were there. She had always wanted to travel, and Italy was at the top of her list.
Suddenly a couple of police were waving their hands, not letting Alice pass. Bella threw open her car door, running on foot following Alice's instructions .
Alice reversed down the street, finding a building she could park alongside without being too far from their desired destination.
"Why did you just jump in the car so quickly?" Alice asked calmly, though her hands were tightly gripping the steering wheel.
"My foster parents are never home, I highly doubt they'd notice if I was gone for a year let alone a day." Aurora explains, her voice free of any bitterness toward the couple. "Besides," she started. "It looked like you two were pretty freaked out, I wanted to help. Not that I understand how I could possibly be of help."
Alice didn't reply, exiting the car and pointing to their destination- a large clock tower at the city center.
Aurora struggled to keep up; Alice was fast and they were surrounded by citizens celebrating. Eventually, she managed to grab onto Alice's cold arm and allow her to guide Aurora to the clock tower.
Alice came to the door and, for lack of a better method- broke it open. She unwrapped the scarf around her head as Aurora carefully closed the door, hoping that the vampire royalty wouldn't sue for it.
"Come on guys. It's a festival!" Alice said "Wouldn't want to make a scene."

Killstealer
Unfinished - Apologies to anyone who was reading but I have no current intentions to revisit this story Alex was stuck in a rut: He was nearing thirty, and his career seemed to be going no-where; He used to have plenty of friends at university, but had gradually lost touch with them. He had recently started using a dating site, but truthfully he never quite got over his ex. It could be worse; he didn't spend his nights wallowing in self pity. However, he had a sinking feeling that his life was going no-where fast. When Alex decided to take up an old hobby all he really was looking for was something fun to do on friday nights. Thrust into another world by a mad mage Alex must adapt quickly to survive. Unfortunately, Alex showed up late to game night and ends up stuck with a pretty mediocre character in this game like reality. Alex must learn to survive in this new world; just because it all seems like a giant game doesn't make death any less terrifying. This will be my first attempt at writing litrpg. I wanted to set myself the challenge of writing every week and I think knowing people might be reading it will motivate me. I've always worked much better with external deadlines. FAQ Why should I read this LitRPG? I am writing because I enjoy it and you should read it if you enjoy it. If I had to make an elevator pitch I would start off by saying my MC is a rogue type character, which seems a relatively uncommon character at least based on what I have read. I also strive to make the supporting cast three dimensional characters, and not just caricatures. Finally, I can't forget that this is a LitRPG so I have tried to make a RPG system with depth, and one that makes sense. How often will you release chapters? At least once a week is my goal. I am a nurse with a baby at home, so between my hospital and my baby I won't have time for more unless something dramatically changes. Will there be romance? I won't rule it out as I try to let my characters write their own stories. However, there will NEVER be a harem, it just isn't something I am interested in. Gore, Profanity, and Traumatising Content? I don't intend to have any of these present at obscene levels, but my tolerance might be different to yours. The tags are mostly there to cover me.

Ashen Reign
In a dark & psychedelic world the tribes of this land tread pace with gods & muses, alive in course of their thoughts. A promising oracle, Azarra, is sworn to a life of seclusion and severe vows of chastity for communion with the fateful powers that marked her. When an upstart warlord imposes on her shrine and forces her to break those oaths, she inverts a sentence of death and disgrace into one of ambition & retribution. Proclaiming her son as the incarnation of their pantheon's progenitor, Drakkon. Azarra shapes this child, borne of unwanted union, into a tool of vengeance against all who wronged her. Swathing Drakkon in illusion of deification, she casts him as a Living Light to set her foes aflame. The cult they cultivate comes to ordain a new Aeon, a reign of Thunder. But the fiery storm of their imperium falls as rain of ash. (Fantastical elements inspired from Greco-Roman & Germanic/Viking influences in a fictional setting of war & woe.) Cover art & design by Lyria Key. Title font/logo by Dark Saturnus Eventually aiming to release as amazon paperback and kindle e-book. May conjure up a discord and donation link. But for now hoping to generate some interest and entertain as many readers as the work reaches & speaks to.

Fortuna Verto
A girl’s luck changes when her world changes upon itself, sending her back and forth between a world she knows and another that shouldn’t even exist. Working with her parallel self from that other world, the two must adjust to their alternate form when visiting the other’s world, as they search for a way to escape the chains of misfortune they are bound to. While this story is the conclusion of the trilogy, it is also fully capable of standing alone in its own light, as the world of Celese itself is no longer a place the characters will be journeying through. However, the events of the story are a spoiler for all previous books, in case that matters to anyone. This book has an additional chapter after the final chapter that represents the trilogy conclusion, and should not be read until all three books are read first. Fortuna Verto continues the events of Essentia Animus to advance society into a sci-fi interpretation of Celese, bringing events to a distant world of another star. At the same time, events interpret a real-world advancement into a similar sci-fi age of another planet that shares Earth’s galaxy, a planet that has also been linked by the Celesi Veil. English remains predominant in both worlds of the story, but the presence of both sides makes certain Aethyx terms stand out, while Earth-styled scientific terms will also stand in a powerful contrast. Instrumentation remains an important aspect of the Elemental Era, but the influence of the gift has grown distant after discovering the superiority of the elements. Harnessing the elements had eliminated some of the original limitations of instrumentation, allowing for a self-sustaining focal source that provides solutions to problems such as automation. This turns the development available from the previous modern-day sense of a fantasy to one that is deep-future. Finally, opening access to the passage across the veil will open this progress in comparison to a very similar deep-future parallel world without such fantasy elements, contrasting the laws of physics with the laws of elements in a convergence of time and space.
