So, Now You Want Me? Chapter 1

Diamond's PV
Another day in hell.
That's the first thing I thought when I woke up.
My name is Diamond LeeAnne Rose. I am fifteen years old and tomorrow I turn sixteen and hopefully I find my mate. Yes, I'm a werewolf, and I get beaten and I am forced to clean the pack house. Both my parents died during a rouge attack and that was the day when I first got beaten. I was only thirteen then, so I have been being beat for three whole years.
All the adults and little kids live in their own houses in our territory while the teens stay in the pack house. When a kid turns thirteen they move out of their house and into the pack house and when a teen turns twenty they have to move out of the pack house, mate or not. We do this in our pack so the teens can learn how to work together.
I quickly got out of bed and took a shower. I washed my hair with my peach shampoo and conditioner. I then washed up with my strawberry body wash.
I put my waist-length, natural dark brown and very light red hair in a high ponytail. I put on my black, with the word Aero wrote in white, shirt on, with my white skinny jeans that matched perfectly with my J-Lo skin tone and my big dark brown eyes. (If your wondering, I have a bank account that has over three million dollars in it that no one knows about.) I put on my black Converses and went downstairs to make the pack breakfast.
I made waffles, bacon, sausage, eggs, ham, and pancakes. We eat alot. I had set everything out when they finally came down. The last three people to come down were my abusive brother and beta of the pack, Jason, Lexi, the pack slut, and last but, not least, the man whore alpha, Dylan, who had Lexi hanging on his arm.

"Bitch, where is my food! You know I don't eat that shit like your fat ass! Go make me something, you slut." Lexi screamed and then punched me in my stomach.
I fixed her some fruit and then handed it to her.
"Next time get her shit together or else I'm going to give you the worst beaten of your life, you pig," Jason said while kicking me in my leg making me fall.
"Diamond?!"
"Yes, Alpha." I stand up.
"Diamond you will not be going to school tomorrow."
"Why not?"
I felt a slap to my cheek causing me to bite my tongue and bleed.
"You do not question me ever again but, you are staying to set up for my sixteen birthday party and you'll clean it up tomorrow."
"Tomorrow but, tomorrow is..."
"Is what?" Jason asked raising his hand up to hit me.
"Nothing." I felt a fist connect with my jaw making me fall to the ground.
"Get your fat ass up and go to school," Jason yelled.
I ran and got my bookbag and began the hour walk to school.
I was ten minutes away from school when I saw the pack drive by me. Each time they passed I was called many different names and sometimes I was hit with things. I didn't buy a car because I don't want them getting ideas about my money. The Alpha's car was the last to drive past me. I thought they were going to continue going when they stopped a few feet ahead of me.
I just continued walking by when I felt a rock hit my head really hard. I touched my head to make sure I wasn't bleeding. I kept on walking when I felt a cold liquid rundown from my head to my whole body.

"Take that, you fat bitch." Lexi laughed.
I saw that she had a diet lemonade bottle in her hand, which meant that she dumped it on me.
"Get in the car Lexi, and leave the pig alone." Jason laughed.
Lexi got in the car and they drove off. I looked at my black iPhone 5c to check the time and saw that my first class was about to start in three minutes.
I took off running going as fast as I could. I was almost to class when I felt someone trip me. I looked up and saw Dylan and Lexi.
"Oops," Lexi said in a fake apology tone laughing.
"Come on babe, let the fat ass go to class."
They walked off and I went into class. I was late and everybody looked at me.
"Your late Miss Rose." Mr. Austin stated.
"I'm sorry, it won't happen again."
"No, problem take your seat."
"Yes, sir."
The rest of the day I got pushed into my locker, tripped, called names, and I even got slapped a few times.
I walked home from school and was punched as soon as I walked through the door.
"Where the fuck have you been, whore!? We're sitting here starving. Get your fat, lazy ass in the kitchen and make us lunch." Jason screamed.
After making them some lunch, which consisted of grilled ham and cheese sandwiches and Root Beer or Coke and yogurt and water for Lexi, I started on dinner. I made fried chicken, mac n cheese, biscuits, and corn. I made a salad for Lexi and her friends and after everyone ate I ate and I cleaned up the kitchen, then I went upstairs and fell on my bed going straight to sleep.

Beast
A threat to the galaxy has come from another, and the Union of intelligent life will go to any length to stop it. Military Quarantine has held for hundreds of thousands of cycles. Traders, merchants, colonists, and Pirates live risky lives along the fringes as the politics from the inner systems fail to see the larger threats beyond their borders. A lone human finds himself far from home with no memories to how he arrived. A failing Trade vessel plays on a desperate gamble, while a malicious parasite searches for a suitable host. ............................................. Author's note: Beast is a story that I wrote a long, long time ago. Some of you might have read it then, back when it was posted on reddit over at r/HFY. It was my first webfiction and made in the spirit of that subreddit's "genre" of humanity being awesome. But, it is also a story that has bothered me a little bit. Just like most new writers tend to do, I made mistakes and errors that feel painful to reread. A Space Opera will be a Space Opera, but I had prose that makes present-me cringe. Still, at the same time, the story is still very much a tale I've never given up on. It was my first adventure into fiction: Beast was a crazy adventure with bodysnatching aliens, galactic war, threats from across the universe... Posting this story here is a way to try and redeem myself a bit. I won't call it a complete rewrite, because it's not, but I have wanted to go through and correct some of the major issues Beast has for a long time and put it somewhere more accessible to read (instead of as posts/comments on reddit) and I figure that now is as good a time as any. Additional corrections you might notice are welcome.
8 182(First Draft Old Version) Ruins Of Isulia ~ Book 1 : Awakening of the Emarine
My updated version has been released but this version is still getting views so I will leave it up for now. This is the old (First draft) version. Go check out my latest version. **************** Creatures once believed to be legend have invaded the kingdom of Vulkira. King Erik must overcome this crushing responsibility or let it consume his people. A haunting past eats away at the Queen of Xer. Cara is hellbent on protecting the ones she loves and the future of her kingdom. Balancing the greater good, she fights to keep her head above the waves of guilt. In a remote town, Henry, an energetic bookworm is thrust into the world as chaos engulfs his once seemingly peaceful world. His lord has a task for him, one in which will change his life forever. Wars brew, betrayal is at each corner, shadows step into the light, a supernatural force awaits the time to strike. Awakening an ancient civilization from their past may be their only hope now. A spiraling doom awaits the world of Isulia. **************** I put the gore and traumatizing warnings not because my book is overly gory. However, there are a few moments that may be traumatizing to some people. As for the gore, it shows up fairly often but not extensively. I've always loved violence in movies and books, (The Boys, Banshee, Kingdom of heaven, Vikings, etc.) I am descriptive of the scenes with gore. So be warned :) I have multiple MC and as a nooby writer, I've had a harder time writing from a female POV. Just a heads up. Don't kill me if I make the woman in my book seem weird.

8 166The Labyrinth of Dreams
Having caught one attempted murderer and proven to the world he isn’t one himself, things are looking up for Kayden. Sure, recent revelations about his spell mean he needs to rethink his entire worldview and his future, but he’s been doing that every couple of months since getting his scholarship, so he’s had practice. From here on, it should be smooth sailing; nothing to worry about but trying to keep up in his magic lessons and not letting his smart mouth start any blood feuds with rich kids at parties. But something’s going on. The Fiore is convinced that Kayden’s a key player in a political game he wants nothing to do with, Max is openly fighting with his idol over things he won’t fully explain, and the words of prophecies past keep haunting Kayden’s dreams. Something big is coming, and to figure it out, Kayden, Max and Kylie will have to venture places that make his Initiation look like child’s play. And make a decision that will irrevocably alter all their lives.
8 169After the Long Burn
After the longest exodus in human history, a terrible accident threatens to turn the salvation of humanity into its most desperate struggle for survival. From the ashes of calamity rises a new human story. A frustrated scientist dedicates her life to recreating the Earth in alien soil, while another is gunned down for his sin and sets off a chain of events culminating in a desperate escape across the void for an opportunity at redemption. Around a distant moon a deep space miner stumbles onto a secret, the key to which lies buried inside his own tortured mind. After the Long Burn is an anthology of short science fiction stories set in the distant Ionad System. Author's Note: I thought I might try something a little different with this story. Rather than one story, it is six stories of varying length, each taking a slightly different perspective to tell a larger story. Some are more actioney, others more cerebral but I hope there will be something for everyone. Stories over 7000 words, with the exception of the titular After the Long Burn, will be published in two parts. I anticipate an upload schedule of one part every other day.
8 199Children of The Sky: Heartcore
In the realm of Yggdrasil, there exist nine worlds. Each and every world has unique stories to tell, but there was one that stood out--The Floating World of Speir. In the land of Speir, the impossible does not exist; this world has given birth to thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of tales, fables, and legends. The fight for the fate of the world is a common occurrence and the neverending stories of the people which reside in it were all, by itself, always unique and interesting. Now, after many aeons have passed, the world has changed. Not only the power of magic could shape reality, technology also has the ability to change the world with just a thought. And from the world where futuristic technology meets magic, I have chosen to tell you a story, a story picked from countless others. This is the story of a boy who recently entered the prestigious, and the most powerful academy in all of the nine worlds--Yggdrasil Academy, to fufill his dream. What is his dream, you might ask. Well, allow me to show you the life of Reynard Foxtale, one of The Children of The Sky. *Warning. For those who don't like lengthy explanations or long talks, this might not suit your taste. However, the setting of my story does not adhere to most of the main stream fantasy/sci-fi settings. So, you might find my ideas unique or a little too weird and complicated or both. Whatever opinions you might have, I truly thank all of you who are willing to spend your time to read my story. *The cover (which is a picture I do not own) is not in any way an accurate depiction of the world in the story. P/S I will post this story on FictionPress as well. P/P/S I'm relatively new to this website, so if I made any obvious (to regulars) mistakes, please tell me. P/P/P/S Will update every two weeks. *Important: In Hiatus for now. **13/7/2017 Update. Check chapter nine (and maybe ten) post-chapter note.
