'What would be your last thoughts if you knew, your life was to be taken, in less than the blink of an eye? How would you live being in constant fear? Or being watched? Or not knowing when it will strike?'

Lenora is your cliché teenager in school. The average, introverted, and shy student. But with a piquant and witty side. She always valued everything in life; never choosing to be greedy and cruel, content with how everything is. 

When something life changing happens, Lenora begins to set out with a new mindset; on the hunt to find the 'mysterious person' who endangered her life. There was something much more than just a 'supposed' shooting.

Come and see what lurks behind the dark corners. From behind the rustling bushes. To where the mysterious 'clicks' keep coming from. Come and understand one's betrayal and thirst for utter vengeance. 

(SNEAK PEEK): ''Why are you doing this!'' Lorena screamed. The ropes restraining her tightened. She can feel the cool tip of the knife run along her half-naked body.  Her tears threaten to fall;  but she does not let them. ''Oh baby, it's because you're letting me.'' He whispers.  ''Let's play.''

It's a good thing when you give a person hope, isn't it? At least that's what Megan told herself as she broke up with her boyfriend. But why do you really do it? Is it for them or for you? Megan Powell likes to play games. Hot pink Uzi hooked on her hip, she spends half her nights at college trying to assassinate the other team for beer points. So it doesn't faze her a bit when her boyfriend "kidnaps" her one night. However, she's not the only one who likes to play. One look into the wrong colored eyes and she knows the gun pressed into her side is real and she's in for the game of her life. Using all her ingenuity, she must do whatever she can to survive. A paper clip, a glass of orange juice , a can of Coke -- all become tools for escape. But it's not easy to survive an obsession, especially one that she unknowingly nurtured. You see, Megan knows her kidnapper, spent a summer dating him and still has feelings for him -- feelings that may go deeper than even she knows. Torn apart inside, Megan fights not only her kidnapper but herself. Only Jean, her roommate, believes that Megan didn't disappear voluntarily. Conducting a relentless search, Jean and her friend Matt try to find Megan before it's too late. But it's late and getting later. Megan's kidnapper took her because she gave him the hope that they might get back together. As he loses that hope, he slips further and further over the edge of sanity till it's anyone's guess which way the game will end.

Guns, revenge and buildings to bomb, what could go wrong? ✮ He came in, gun held out in front of him in one hand while the other was resting on his hip where a sharp dagger gleamed in the light. "Come on out little girl, why not make this easier for both of us. The agency you ran away from just want to have a little talk, that's all." She scoffed internally. Yeah right. Then the footsteps ceased. She peeked to the right, then to the left. Neither direction showed any sign of the intruder. She looked up in front of her and gasped, the glint of steel and smell of death as overwhelming as it was adrenaline inducing, exciting. "Boo." ✮ Murder, accidents, assassinations. Call it what you will, it's all the same, all has the same life breaking, mind shattering consequences - be it for the victim or the bystander. It had shaped Alex in a way no one should be. Broken down and rebuilt into the perfect soldier, one who had the power to change the world, to fight battles that would either make or break the carefully constructed vision we all live in. The only small, minute, really unimportant detail - it's pretty hard to get into a government classified site when you're 15 years old and have a rag-tag team of double-crossing back-stabbers behind you. Not to mention the threat of a world war and ghost hanging above your head. Armed with sarcasm, wit, and a hell of a lot of aggressive intentions, it won't be too long till a sticky situation is all that's ahead of you. Sometimes, running head-first into a situation isn't the best idea. Instead, you gotta play a game. A deadly game where either you have all the pieces on the board, or you have nothing. [previously known as Espionage: double-cross] Thanks for reading :)

"He seemed like a puzzle to me, and I really liked solving puzzles. But somehow, I don't think that I would ever be able to solve this one." Amelia Heart, with her large smile and her infectious laugh, is what most people would think has the perfect life. They would watch as she went back to her beach house, as she went out of her way to stop and chat to her neighbours, as she would get the perfect grades. She was everything you wanted to be, and yet nobody had gotten close enough to her to understand her life in this small town at all. When her plans of leaving suddenly change, and she is forced to start attending the local school, her life takes a route that she hadn't accounted for. A new group of friends, a chance at a normal teenage life, even a potential love interest - things that Amelia had never even thought about happening after everything she'd been through. But happiness is only temporary in her life, and she knew that. It wasn't surprising to her when her past began to catch up with her present, it was simply a good thing that it had taken as long as it had. Things start happening in Amelia's life that simply don't make sense, even to her. They do say you should always keep an eye over your shoulder, especially when you know you're being hunted, but for Amelia, even an eye in every direction wouldn't be enough. Time begins counting down, fast. Did she want to involve her friends? Could the new people in her life be trusted? She wouldn't have long to make a decision. Not before her world comes blazing down, the final battle on the horizon. Tick, tock, Amelia. You don't want to be late to the party when you're the guest of honour. COMPLETED 06/11/20
When Death takes notice by Amrose

Games can be fun, but some games end rather badly. What happens when a young girl plays a game that catches the attention of someone that's not only bad, but deadly? Because once you kiss death... well... lets's just say that a killer doesn't kiss and tell... <3 This is a sample of my book. The book can now be found on Amazon, both as a paperback and as a digital book. It was free for five days in March 2020 to thank the wonderful readers here on Wattpad that supported me while I wrote the book. Thanks again for the support, it meant a lot. <3 NB! Warning some people might find this twisted love story disturbing. Stockholm syndrome* will be comming into play. The published version of the book is mature. The book starts off somewhat light, but it does get darker chapter by chapter. It is not recommended for a younger audience, nor for those who might take offense with strong language, sex scenes, non consensual acts, violence etc. Happy reading :D *Stockholm syndrome is a condition that causes hostages to develop a psychological alliance with their captors as a survival strategy during captivity. These feelings, resulting from a bond formed between captor and captives during intimate time spent together, are generally considered irrational in light of the danger or risk endured by the victims. Generally speaking, Stockholm syndrome consists of "strong emotional ties that develop between two persons where one person intermittently harasses, beats, threatens, abuses, or intimidates the other.

Poison Rose

20 parts Ongoing Mature

What will Liora do when everything is taken from her? Her family, her mind, even her body, no longer hers? How will Liora react when she uncovers the devastating truth about her family's deaths? After enduring abuse and battling PTSD, how will she find the strength to fight her fears and mend her broken heart? This is her world, where innocence is a luxury and power is a necessity. Liora's tragic loss drives her into a dark world, where manipulation is an art mastered by Caspian, and rules are mere toys for Donovan. In a world that thrives on Money, Power, Lust, revenge, and never-ending Greed, love emerges like a delicate rose -yet is it the promise of salvation or the beginning of a lethal poison? Caspian stood still, watching Liora as she caught her breath. "You're breathing," he remarked with a smile, seemingly amused by the fact that Liora was inhaling and exhaling. 'Is he crazy?' Liora thought. 'of course I breathe.' She rolled her eyes inwardly at his stupidity but didn't dare to show it to him. Caspian kept staring at her, making Liora uncomfortable. She pulled her hand away, attempting to free herself from his grasp, but Caspian tightened his hold. "I'm not finished yet," he said before opening the door.
