《Gun To My Head, Stake To My Heart》20
Advertisement
After I decided to travel for my safety, Taemin and Hailey rushed out the house to pack my stuff. Lena and Alec made the necessary arrangements while Lexi informed my werewolf guards. Matt wasn't having it and demanded to speak with us in person.
Matt, Zayn and Jade arrived an hour later. Pissed, would be an understatement. They were entirely against me leaving to go to such a vile creature's home. But after they were told the plan, they found it hard to refuse. They admitted to the surge in potential attacks and agreed that I needed to be returned to my family.
We were on a private plane heading to France. Lara was antsy the entire flight. She kept shaking her leg. Alec kept his gaze out the window. The siblings' minds were preoccupied with dread and anxiety. Lena worked with Taemin and Hailey to devise a plan on smuggling me inside. Lexi couldn't keep her mouth shut anymore, so she moved next to me.
"Hey." She nudged me. "I'll be your personal guard. You'll be safe with me around." I smiled at her thoughtfulness. "I promise I'll guard you with my life." She bowed and kissed my hand. We chatted briefly since Taemin called her over.
"She's right." I looked at Lara. "She'll keep you safe when I'm not around." I smiled. "I'm serious. She's our top fighter." My mouth dropped at that information.
"That jittery, easily frazzled girl is your most skilled fighter?"
"Don't let her friendly nature fool you. She's a beast in battle. That's why she's my personal guard. Well, she's your now." Lara paused and motioned to Taemin. "He's the best assassin, so he's Alec's bodyguard."
"And is Hailey some badass fighter so she's your mother's personal guard?"

"No, she's my mother's advisor and right hand-"
"And their guardian when Lena's away. So I'm their real babysitter." Hailey piped from the front of the plane.
"That's not what I'd refer to her role as." Alec grumbled.
"I make sure they stay in line, do their homework-"
"Well, clearly you're not that good since Lara barely went to work." They all laughed at Hailey's expense.
"I do try." She sulked, causing us to laugh even louder.
I had to thank Hailey for willingly being the butt of the joke. She allowed for the tension to briefly dissipate. I know that once we touch down, everything is about to change.

Warhammer 40,000: Mind over Matter
Set in the Warhammer 40k universe, but accessible to those unfamiliar with the setting. The Imperium of Man has been fighting the Long War for ten thousand years. It is a war fought simultaneously across thousands of stars and against innumerable enemies. On smoke-filled battlefields and in the cold emptiness of the void the military might of the Imperium stands strong in the face of horrifying foes. It is not a war fought to conquer new lands, or to seize the wealth of enemy nations. It is a war fought to hold what they have, or to regain what they have already lost. The world of Nova Iberia is far from that war and supports the Imperium by sending her finest sons to foreign stars to fight and die as elite commandos in the Imperial Guard. A chance discovery on the corpse of one of these commandos has cast doubts around the world's loyalty, and has drawn the attention of the Imperial Inquisition. The seekers of the Alien, the Heretic and the Daemon have descended upon this peaceful world, and they will not leave it intact. Primaris Psyker Amelia Lafayette was a ward of the state, now bound as an acolyte to the Inquisition in recognition of her telepathic gifts. Inexperienced, and browbeaten by her training, she must adapt to her new circumstances or fall. If she can navigate the tangled webs of heresy, and survive life in the Inquisition, then she may find the opportunity to prove herself worthy of greater authority.
8 835The Desert Sun
Imagine if the key to omnipotence, to benevolence, lay only in the forgotten depths of your own mind? It has been eight centuries since a disastrous experiment ended the glorious reign of the universe's most advanced civilization and put fate into the clutches of the omnipotent. However now, as a war of expansion burns through the stars, a quest to ensure the almighty's death and free destiny has emerged. Will they succeed? or will fate forever be in the clutches of another. Please note, that I am fixing the book grammatically to ensure success.
8 212A Student...Like You
Fighting over the most ridiculous stuff, trying to escape punishments using all sorts of tricks, bemoaning the non-existent cafeteria or perhaps, the soaring price of the food there. Arguing like mad with friends but then going back to them only, when loneliness sets in. Skipping assemblies, cursing the march past, the freedom of the PE period and the 'official' bunking for school events. The care of teachers, the craziness of friends, the feeling of first love and the endless notorious escapes...ah, those were the days, our cherished...school days! Author's Note: Hello, everyone! This is my first Web Novel. I'll upload one episode every Monday. Constructive criticism is most welcome! I hope you all enjoy reading the story! Thank You!!
8 201Broken Kaleidoscopes
What if someone told you that there were dimensions alongside ours? Innumerable and impossible to even fathom. That no normal man could ever hope to understand, or even find a way to peer across the everdistant parallels that pervade the multiverse? Now, what if that same person told you that there existed a race that lived outside all dimensions? A race so powerful that, instead of being forced to play along with the rules of your own dimension, they could rewrite all aspects of reality with only a thought. Of course, you would laugh at them. I did too. Then I broke reality the next day. Pictures are not mine.

8 216In The Shadows (Star Trek TOS/AOS)
Gweynneth Rosenwyn (roz-EN-win meaning "fair rose.") Morvoren (mor-VOR-en, meaning "mermaid" or "sea maiden.") Congdon-Williams was new engineer/helmsmen on board the USS Enterprise under the command of Captain James T Kirk. A close friendship between the two quickly formed and that friendship became love. I wrote this on two devices (School PC Google account and Apple notes) so the main characters name changes because of rubbish autocorrect.
