*** Below is an extract somewhere along the book I am writing called A Heart Within (previous name was: A Heart in a Storm) following a Prince of the Hailington Kingdom called Silas and a Princess from the Andorra Kingdom called Luna. This extract will be edited as my book is in first person, but chose to write this in third person to have more of an effect. Hope you enjoy :) ***

Choices. That's what life is. But I have a problem with that. First of all, if someone who wants to kill you traps you, you will die, and fate shall bring in its ev- you know what let's make it easier. Sometimes there's only one choice. Like that terrific example I gave. Second of all, some options are impossible to get it right. Especially ones that are calling to you. I sprawled across the couc...

The poison spread within seconds, quickly tightening it’s grasp and melting into my blood and DNA. A quick shock of my body alerts me its taking it’s first breath. I’m no longer in the drivers seat. I no longer have to be my own problem. I’ve just willfully handed over the keys and taken a backseat. I can now sit back and enjoy the show from someone else’s perspective.

“Don’t worry, the de...

As the final sliver of sunlight disappeared below the horizon, the air around her grew cold, and a sinister stillness settled in. She could feel it—a creeping chill spreading across her skin, crawling through her veins like ice. The darkness was not just around her; it was inside her, clawing its way through her body, infecting her with its malevolent intent.

Samantha had always been a beacon of...

As the darkness sank into her veins she felt the evil take her over.

“No. Why? Please. Come back. I know you’re in there. Please?” He whispered.

“She’s dead now. I’ll take over from here.” Her eyes turned yellow, then back to brown, then red, and back to yellow.

“The devil took over, didn’t he. He took everything from me. First my family, then my home, now you.”, he said.

“No. I took over the devi...

The darkness settles into my bones uncomfortably. Being a creature of death, I had belonged to the shadows for far too long. Never again will I kowtow myself to the dark, to the nothingness that follows. But despite myself, I am trembling before it.

All around, the lack of light pounds into my skull until I feel as if it will crack me open and fill the empty space between my bones, weave itself th...

At first, there was nothing. She felt stuck in a void that clung to every part if her being, restricting even the slightest twitch.

And then, there was burning.

Everything burned.

She could have sworn she was screaming, but silence was the only thing echoing in her ears.

It felt like an eternity. Invisible claws tore at her chest. Invincible strings wrapped around her wrists and her ankles,...

As the darkness sank into her veins, she felt the evil take over and her mind grow farther away. She could see the blackness seep through her limbs and transforming her. Tears of pain rolled down her cheeks and her body rippled.

She could feel her emotions get torn away till she could feel nothing but rage. Her eyes became totally black and her teeth sharpened. Suddenly she felt a sharp pain in h...

“So we have a plan or is this going to take all night?” Jayden asks, going through his camera roll. “Fine, we’ll go tonight, at dark.” Alessia yells, upset. Brooke fiddles with her zipper on her jacket. “Guys I don’t think we should do this.” She says, recalling that her brother disappeared, doing the same thing. “Shut up, don’t be a baby, we need this money.” Oliver tells her. Brooke rolls her ey...

It was started as a normal day, just like any other casual Tuesday. Vanessa performed your usual morning ritual of waking up late and rushing to her first class at the local junior college. Sitting down quickly and thinking she was unseen, she was startled to hear her professor shout from the bottom of the lecture hall.

“Miss Vanessa! Tell me something. How can one do so well in their course yet ...
