"Who dying, Cato? And since when were you afraid of ghosts?"
"Look it doesn't matter." Cato told her.
"If it doesn't matter, why are you trying so hard to hide it Cato?" Clove asked.
"I am not hiding it," Cato snapped. "I don't want to talk about it."
Clove hugged Cato and gave him a small kiss.
"Please tell me babe. I wanna try to help you."
"I don't need help." Cato mumbled.
"But you certainly could use it." Clove told him. "Is there anything I can do to make you feel better?"
"No. It's fine." Cato said.
"Are you sure babe? There's nothing at all I can do?"
"I'm sure Clove." Cato told her.
"Ok." Clove replied. "Coming back to bed?"
"Yeah okay." Cato answered and wandered back to her room.
Clove followed Cato in and hugged him from behind. She gave him a light kiss on the neck.
"I love you." She told him.

"I love you too Clover," Cato answered with a small smile, pulling her into her room gently.
Clove smiled back in return. If only they could stay like this forever and not go into The Games...
Cato laid back down, pulling Clove down gently and cuddled her.
Clove snuggled in and put her arms as far around him as possible.
Cato slept.
Clove one again rested her head on Cato's chest and fell asleep to the sound of his heartbeat.
Cato slept peacefully.

Candice knocked on the door. "Yoo hoo! Up, up, up!" She said as she walked into the room, staggering back slightly less this time.
Clove rolled off Cato and opened her eyes, grunting.
"Its so early." Cato complained and yawned.

"It's the same as yesterday. Did you guys stay up late? What were you guys doing?" Candice questioned.
"We aren't used to this timetable," Clove answered. "it's different back home." She rubbed her eyes and sat up.
"Jeez calm down woman." Cato muttered and sat up.
Candice have Cato a death stare and handed them their uniforms. Candice walked out of the room.
Cato pulled a face. "I don't think she likes me."
"I don't think she likes anyone." Clove replied. She started getting changed, Candice couldn't see that they were in the same room.
Cato got changed in the bathroom again, dampening down his hair.
Clove looked in the mirror and fixed her hair, realising for the first time just how messy it was.
Cato walked out of her room at a steady pace.
Clove joined Cato. Cato waited boredly. Candice came and instructed them into the elevator. Clove walked in.

The Kingdom of Malinas (YA Fantasy)
Fifteen-year-old Sorrel returns to her home to find it burned and most of her people taken as slaves by Corrinus, the new ruler of Malinas. She's devastated to find her mother is amongst them and swears to rescue her. But her older brother Leif sends her to seek an army, while he remains with the survivors, teaching them to fight. It hurts that everyone says she's too small and too weak to fight, because she wants so much to be like her dead father - a great warrior - but she does as she's told. She travels across country with her seer friend and faces many dangers – from mysterious grey wraiths to the crazed follower of Corrinus. She set out to find an army but instead, she returns with a dragon. ** This was one of the very first novels I ever wrote. I wrote this when I was 16/17 (which was many years ago now!) on a really old PC I called Phylis. I remember having to print it out on an old ribbon printer to submit it to publishers - this was back before esubs were the norm! It never got picked up and I ended up self publishing it. I hope you enjoy.

A Primeval Future
Follow the story of a modern caveman as he learns to survive, thrive, and shape his nascent civilization in a world yet untouched by man. Expect a focus on the nitty-gritty of primitive living, especially early on. I plan for this to eventually progressing to the settlement management and politics stage as people gravitate towards the one guy who looks like he knows what he's doing, but this will likely take some time. Despite the occasional system elements, skilling and levels will not be a part of this story. No shortcuts. There will be violence and there will be sexuality but there will be no sexual violence. I hate reading that crap and I hate writing it even more. This is my first serious foray into writing. I plan to put out at least 1 chapter a week, more when I can. Constructive criticism is very much welcomed as are ideas and suggestions! Cover image credit: "Mesolithic camp site" by Wessex Archaeology is licensed with CC BY-NC 2.0.

Blind As a Bat [1st book complete]
Book 1 He was cast to the edges of his clan. His father could not stand to even look at him. His baby sister probably didn't even know he was her brother... All because he, unlike all other vampire (The correct terminology will be Wanpyrkos; van-peer-coe-s) kind, was born blind. And what do all creatures do to those that are different, those that do not fit society, those that they think should not have been born to this civilized society...? [Book Cover Made by the wonderful THEMIDNIGHTECLIPSE13] - thank you! I'm only introducing the perspective of the main character for the first part. Things change drastically soon after that. [BDSM entries are clearly marked and written so they can be skipped without affecting the story] ***A couple scenes to whet your palate*** 1. "Uh, we heal from pretty much everything and anything. Have you ever tried physically damaging your eyes to see if they would fully heal?" "N-no. No, it doesn't work," I forced out, my voice a little strangled and cracking before hardening. "And stuff like that, isn't that just wrong?! Hurting someone just to 'fix' them." 2. I leaned and he met me, our soft lips touching and moving perfectly on each other's. I felt as his tongue ran the slit of my lips, my tongue coming to graze it as it passed over, knowing doing so was like catnip to him. He leaned closer, and I shivered as his hands ran from low on my hips and grazed along and up my ribs, pulling my chest closer to his so my body arched and rubbed against him. I hummed in appreciation. [warning: so far aggressive or physical bullying and maybe a little kidnappage and sexual themes as well as possible trigger warnings]
