Chapters 5-10

Chapter 5:SerenaI  saw Crystal in the hallway,  and met her at the bus loop. An idea popped into my head, “Hey Crystal those four new guys at Solarcosmo transferred in at the last year. Why? Why now?  I was thinking about breaking into the main office and copying their school records.I know you have not done this before, so if you do not want to do this I understand.”“I know what you are thinking,” She smiled at me, “the answer is yes. I do not mind breaking in, and finding out information about the four guys.” Yes, plan on! I was thinking ahead  so I said, “Meet at my house.” After that we got on the yellow bus to go home.   The bus ride gave me time to think. I remember the layout of the school pretty decent, so I am not going to get lost at all. I had a feeling that  one day I would need to know how to break into things what good is having abilities if you’re not going to use them anyway. I had no idea that this would be the time to do it, and I figured out how to lock pick from a friend. I had a bad streak then, but I knew that would come in handy. Getting past the locks is easy enough. It would be the cameras and there could be a chance I could get caught. It sounds fun to try it without getting caught. It can be done luckily I do not want her to break in to change our grades. All we are going to do is get four files on the new guys, and photo copy them. I am going to make sure to put them back. The bus stopped jarring me out of my thoughts. We went to my house, and sat in my room to discuss the plans.  We had to plan ahead because it could be dangerous. Actually it seemed pretty easy not hard at all. Just one lousy security guards and some cameras pretty easy peasy. After planning everything we could think of we walked to the school. Time for the break in.
It was night by the time we got to the empty school. Solorcosmo looked like a tomb with no students or teachers running around. It now looked like it was abandoned, but I know better.  It has been closed since 5 the last of the teachers left for home an hour ago. No guards were there watching the cameras. All we had to do was cut of the cameras which was not a problem. Crystal said she could take over the cameras. My job is to just copy the files in the main office then get out of there. The school did not have any alarms, so we did not have to worry about that. We dressed in all black for the purpose of not being able to be seen. The school had nicely cut yards, and pretty flowers which seemed not right with what we are supposed to do. We went to the back of the building, and picked up a key they kept hidden from students. Crystal hacked into the system with a program to get all the codes. She found a code that unlocked where to get a master key to the school.               We went inside the halls until we saw the office. After opening the door I saw the security room holding the cameras. Crystal went in to turn them off. Luckily there were no cameras where we went though.I powered up the main desktop, and searched for the files that had the list of the admissions of the students. I logged on with the password crystal gave me. I knew it was them when I saw their pictures Oliver,Tolfin, Tony and Jason. Once I was in I copied all four files to the jump drive listing their addresses and schedules for class, and it also has the records of the schools they have attended all the way until now. Copying was nothing though it was when I was done that the guards came walking. I heard a tapping of shoes, and that is when I saw the guards. I quickly run to find Crystal happy I wore shoes that are quiet instead of loud. Oh Shit! Three of them were there patrolling the halls. Crystal went to one side of the hall. I went on the other.Crystal and I are trying to head them off there were two of them, and the other left to go check out the back. “Who is there? Where did the intruders go? I think I am going to have a good feast, and so are you if we find them.” Guard one said to Guard two. Crystal hid in the closet with me after seeing the guards, so the guards will not find us. There was a hole in the door, so I was able to look through. I could not see their faces only their silhouettes. “Where did they go?” one asked. “I have no idea. I get one side and you get the other side of the school.” The guards split up one went down one side and one on the other. I sighed when the coast was clear, and the idiots left to find someone else to bust. Luckily we were right in front of a window that leads to Crystal’s car and better then going out the front I give it a tug. Locked! It is not an issue for someone with powers like myself. I focused on the lock which turned to the right. The window was unlocked all I did was levitate crystal through telling her it was a magic trick I have learned online, and then  I float myself out the window, and land on the ground gently not hurting myself or breaking a nail. Crystal took my hand, and we ran as fast as we could to Crystal’s car. Finally out of danger Crystal drove me to her house. I was happy we were not detected at all, and no one was hurt. After we did our jobs we got out as quietly as when we got in, and we successfully evaded the guards.Crystal and I made it safely to her room. We turned on crystals computer which was a black Stryker made especially for hackers like her. I put the usb drive into the slot, and it was time to find out information on Tony, Jason, and the two mystery boys.She clicks on the hot guys file the first one who is Tolfin’s friend his name is Oliver Scott. Only 18 years old got kicked out of Valley Fall honors? And I find that really odd an honor roll dork like him would transfer to a place like here. The transcript said the reason was because Sarah Wiley a local student also going there said he stalked her for days, and tried to harm her. Nice, the basterd. Stuff about Jason Sullivan is different story no known date of birth dropped out of high school his last year. I could understand why he wants to go now. I did ignore the fact that he got in some fights at school. It was over petty stuff though. I got my information about both boys that is all I need now.               I have their addresses to so I could do snooping if I wanted to. I will go by myself he lives at 1462 Deer Wolf Street. The old Scott manor. Said to be owned by the infamous James Scott died in the late 18th century. Supposedly killed because they thought he was a werewolf. Wow..He does have a certain wolfness. Jason Sullivan 1897 Blood fire Court. Another questionable place because that is not a house here yet again a mansion. Each of them on other sides of the county. The mansions abandoned by society because of its strange and medieval past.  Regardless of which of them is first I have to sneak in and find out why. I am going to their houses to find out answers as to why now all of a sudden. I want to search his house to find out why and see if I can dig up anything else. As for Jason his record left out things like where he went to school in the past besides his high school. Also I have a weird feeling that something is not right with him. What will happen? Crystal and I talked we both are going to sneak into the boys houses tomorrow or the next day. She is checking out Tony and Tolfin’s house I get Oliver and Jason’s which is crazy really. I lost my mind I still want to look though. No harm in doing that I have my powers if trouble happens. Crystal left and that is when I decided to do research.                The old James Scott mansion was first. I got on my laptop to look up anything I could find about it. The mansion built in the 1700s belonged to Riley Scott the first of the werewolf clan to live there. They built it to keep away the wolves or so it said. The woods near the area were attacking the locals so they built a 20 foot fence around the area to keep them out. Joy I have to climb a fence.Okay that was informative I wonder what house Jason lives in. Blood Fire Court house number 1897 built in the 1800s owner unknown. House is said to have supernatural occurrences there. Many claim to hear noises at night. Two mansions with supernatural dealings just my cup of tea. So, I have to investigate maybe I can find something useful the houses are going to be difficult to get into. The one with the fence, and I have to bring a hammer or saw to get through it said fence it might mean metal pliers.  I went to bed at 10:00 to get ready for school the next day. Chapter 6OliverI heard a cell ring realized it was my leaders who answered it.  I could not pay attention to who he is talking to just that he got frustrated. He hung up, “We have a problem.” He continued in a serious tone, “Someone went to the school to break in. Funny thing is they broke into the main office. Not before my guards caught them on film though. One of them literally froze and malfunctioned the cameras. They stole your files and the two vamps. Not males though females. We are going to my house to bring the tapes. I put guards at the school on you and the vamps to make sure if any situation arises the problem would be taken care of.” Fuck I think I know who would do that. “Does that mean they have our addressed now?” I asked. He nodded, “Exactly lets get in the car and go.” We got in and headed off. Tofin had been quiet the entire time. I wonder why. Was he thinking the same thing I was? Anticipation ran through me. She was smarter then I thought. Another thought struck me. “Sir have the vampires been warned?”“I am informing them as we speak. We have no idea if these girls are humans or vamp or were they could be working for the enemy.” I actually should be fighting this. I do not want this at all. No, No, No! I can’t believe it. I promised not to get involved with a human girl again. No! I guess I am screwed. We went to the house the leader lived in Synan Square Manor. It was one of the richest houses on the street. The leader was a thief in the late 19th century. He robbed banks, jewelry stores, and he even took precious heirlooms from museums. He kept the money he sold from everything and built his house from the ground up. The outside was painted red a very dark blood red. The inside was all black from the walls to every piece of furniture inside except for some silver colored appliances.                We parked the car unlocked our seatbelts and got out. After opening the door and going inside we went to the living room with leather couches it has a lacquer table in the middle and a fireplace. It was very plush and elegant the way the leader likes it. We sat on the black couch in front of the big screen, and watch the tape. One of his werewolf guards opens the DVD player to put the DVD in and then hits the play button. “This is the office they broke into including the main office and the security area.” The screen turns blue and the movie plays. It shows the security and the offices. The movie gets boring until a familiar blonde and blue haired girl arrives. Yep, that is the girl’s friend the girl sits down and starts typing on the console. She gives a look of frustration after several minutes. Then puts up her hand, and literally freezes the cameras in ice. Wow…… She turns her head realizes she missed one and it gets burned up. Double Damn! It turns to the office where a familiar brown and red haired girl is. A girl I know all too well. The one that drives my instincts crazy to protect. She takes a few files and photo copies them puts them back. She looked at the camera, and it blows up. My eyes widen. The screen goes black then turns to white noise signaling the end. The leader was silent. Tolfin eyes wide as he realized what happened. I think we found the evidence we need. They are the lons we are trying to find. I am crushing on a supernatural creature? At least that is what I think. Volderius speaks, “You guys are in the same classes with these girls right?” We both nod, “Track them down and bring them to me.” We agree then head back to the Scott mansion. On the way there I have all these thoughts going through my head. What is she doing checking on us? Does she like Jason? Do I have a chance with her? And a whole lot of others. I wonder if she even knows what she is.                I get there Tolfin already in the driveway goes in. I get out unbuckle and go in myself. Tolfin lies down on the couch. “So here is the goal: I get the blonde and you get the brunette.” I nod in agreement we had our marks now it was only a matter of about where to get them first. Follow or waiting. Chapter 7:Serena:I thought I was asleep, but I woke up.  I got dressed and went to the bus stop. Crystal came over immediately.  She found out stuff that I did about Tolfin and Tony’s house. Tony lives with Jason in the same house. I guess that means they are roomies the same as Tolfin and Oliver which means we both know the same story. I guess we are going together, and we have to get past the fence.               The bus came I did not see any sign of my ex and his slut of a girlfriend. We got on the bus to go to the torture chamber again.  I can’t wait until graduation. I will not have to deal with those jerks again.                The day went by faster than I could blink. Before I knew it school was over, and I was going home which means time to break in Oliver’s house.                We found a way in through the fence. It was a hole big enough for me and crystal to fit through. I took note of the mansion painted black and red a pretty sight also.I tip toed on the lawn to the door. I got the lock pick and was trying to get the damn thing unlocked. It did but not because of me the person we were trying to spy on was standing in front of us. And the other guy popped out behind us trapping us I looked so shocked I blacked out.
 Chapter 8:Oliver
The girl who we were looking for interrupted my tv show. I heard them trying to break in the front door of all places. Tolfin did to so he snuck in the back. I opened the door the brunette faints. I pick her up and put her on a couch. The blonde crystal follows. “ I am oliver and that blonde guy is Tolfin. How did you guys get past the gate.” I ask I sit on a chair and beckon her to sit down. She sits and replies, “Through a hole in a fence. I only followed you guys so my friend or   Guarded one stays out of trouble.” The door opens I look to see who it is. Tolfin with the crystal glowing a red.“Yep its them now we need to notify the leader.” He replies in a matter of fact voice.“Why are you telling that guy? I thought you were going to the police because we trespassed isn’t that against the law?” I laugh so does Tolfin.“No, we need your help not to mention a crazed werewolf hunter is after us.”She laughs, “Yeah right those do not exist. They are made up fairy tales.”  I laugh again. Tolfin said, “No, you know they exist you’re a Waterlon for fucks sake. I thought we never would find you. Here you are in the wolfs den.” Tolfin goes up to her, and a look passes between them. She glares then says, “Fine asshole what do you want to know?” Then he begins asking  questions and she is replying back like:“Does she know she is a skylon?”“No not a clue her parents thought it safer if she does not know who she is.”“When are you going to tell her?”“When she is ready.”“How long have you know about us?”“Since I first saw you.”“You realize supernatural creatures might want to hurt her?”“Yeah I was hoping not. I guess it is inevitable now. I have to tell her.”SerenaI faint and hear all what is going on. I somehow manage to leave my body. I am hearing all of crystals and tolfins conversation disbelief radiating through me. How could she  know and not tell me what I am? I think back to the conversation. The answers she says make sense. I guess I do not need to tell her about my gifts anymore. She knew everything all along. And she did not tell me which hurt the most. Oliver and Tolfin are werewolves, and Jason and tony are vampires. I guess that makes sense. However they are in sunlight.  I thought they were supposed to burst in sunlight. I was hurt though when I heard what she said. A sick feeling in my gut. Just when exactly was she going to tell me? I thought about my body then I was immediately whooshed into it. It felt as if a vacuum grabbed me and stuffed me back in. I gasped and opened my eyes. I was in my body alright. A glare was pointed at Crystal who gave a hurt look.“I heard everything you said when were you going to tell me?”“I was going to tell you when you were ready.” I yelled. “When I want an answer now you betraying bitch. Just when. Answer me.” Oliver put up his hands and spoke in a calm voice. “Calm down and stop screaming. I am guessing she could not tell you because she was sworn not to.”I was holding my fury back but calmed down when I realized it was not her fault. If she was sworn into it, then it was not her fault. My heart which was racing with fury calmed down as well. I turned to Oliver, “Why did you glare at me?” “I think it is ok to tell you now. The reason is because I do not want to get involved with humans. Since you are not normal I guess that is okay with me since I need your help.”“ I can move objects and go out of my body.”“Skylons are supposed to have more powers. There is a ritual done between a Guardian or Waterlon and a Skylon that gives you guys a strong bond. It even helps skylons come into their power.”“I guess we should do the ritual then.”Crystal nodded. “I was given a book at the age of 16 to give to you with the ritual of coming into your power.”I was taking this all in, and I got tired of standing so I sat in one of Olivers comfy leather black couches. I was not shocked about vampires and werewolves existing though. I honestly knew there was some explanation for my powers, but I thought my parents might be normal and not weird. My parents are still out there somewhere. One day I will try to find them. That is another story one that involves me not being in high school.  Enough of that thought I am just trying to wrap my head around everything that has happened. So much has happened in the past few days that make me want to sleep. “When are we doing the ritual?” I asked.“Well, when do you want to do it?”“I do not know the day, but is it necessary now?”“No it is not and we do not have to worry about it right now.” Oliver insisted. Why am I noticing how cute his hair curls sitting there. Why?  He is a fucking werewolf. Mayb he turns into a wolf? I shook from my thoughts because Tolfin came in the room.“The vampires have been notified, and they are here now. Shall I let them in?” Oliver nods. Crystal sitting there on the couch says, “I will come with you.” And follows him. Which makes me think great she left me alone with him. The sexy hot guy that makes me want to melt into a puddle right before his eyes.“So are you a wolf or can you turn into one? How does that work?”“I am one. I change into one whenever the moons have some effect on us. Like during full moons we are more active. A light lights up from inside of us and the wolf pops out. It is not painful or hurting us at all. It feels good like..” he gazes out the window trying to explain. He smiles, “Like being able to stretch your legs after spending the day in bed. Like a burden has been lifted off you.” “And silver does that hurt you?”“ It does not just hurt me it burns. Think of having a scalding hot poker on your skin.”I am having fun asking him questions. Talking to him about things. It is more like finding out about werewolves, and wanting to know things about him. “What makes you different from a normal human?”“Enhanced senses like touch, taste, smell, sight. Hearing things from 10 yards away.”Sweet that must be fun to have as a child. A thought just struck me. “So did someone turn you into one or were you born one?”  “Born one.”Hmmm… Interesting“I hope I am not interrupting anything important.”Oh goody the vampires are here. Chapter 9:Oliver   That talk was going well until that asshole interrupted. I had my doubts about getting involved with her. Yes, I fought it very hard. I fought the urge to be with her because I thought it would end in disaster. Once I heard she was not exactly normal my attitude changed. Until jackass interrupted I was considering kissing her. Serena instead answered saving me from making a smartass remark“Yeah actually you were interrupting me or us. I wanted to know about his kind. I was curious..” He smiled at her.“I suppose it is my turn to answer your questions. I will save you the trouble, and just tell you a little about my kind.” I got kind of mad when he sat down next to her, and kissed her hand. It made me feel very jealous inside that I did not think of it first. I just tried to play it off like it was no big deal. Jason then proceeded to tell her what I already know. “I am guessing you already know I am a vampire. That is confirmed when Tolfin told the leader you were here. You know who you are now. I am guessing no one told you that skylons smell very good to vampires and weres.” She shook her head, “No one told me that I guess I am in the dark about what I am.”  He thought for a moment. I felt like telling him do not hurt yourself thinking too hard. I held back mainly because it would seem like I am acting like a jealous jerk. I was trying to take it easily honestly. I also have to deal with Vanta Sandy. He sort of went on the back burner when we were first searching for the two girls. Tolfin is still with Crystal and Tony is with them. The vampires and Tolfin and I have agreed that the two girls have to have one vampire and one were with them at all times. They are too valuable for us to loose because of our carelessness. We need their help. Jason said, “ I was wondering who was supposed to tell you originally. I am guessing it was crystal. You realize you are a myth to us. We thought you guys were a made up legend. It will be very interesting to see what else happens.” She was silent no doubt taking his questions to heart. I wonder if she would be afraid or not. These thoughts kept going through my head I kind of wish they would shut up. Too bad I can’t get her away from all this. SerenaI heard what he was saying. It was hard for me to take it all in. I am a supernatural creatures version of an addicting drug like crack or cocaine? Wow…..Interesting Crystal should have told me this. I think she was waiting for the right time. I was curious about vampires though. The oliver werewolf questions were very informative. I am going to learn more about their culture though. So I asked Jason, “Do vampires drink blood?” He nodded and replied, “Yes, they do need it. They crave it like a meth addict. Their bite is orgasmic when they feed on another. They do not kill people or hurt them at all. They have fast reflexes and are super strong. They have a strong sense of smell and blood tastes different which depends upon the human.”  He continued. “Let me go down the list. Only really old vampires sleep in coffins. Yes, we can drink animal blood, but only when we do we turn into the animal we drink from. We can stay in the sunlight until we are 1,000 years old. We can’t have garlic myth. That we can’t walk over running water myth that you can’t see our reflection myth.” “I guess Hollywood made up that stuff like they usually do.”“Yep, fire and stake through the heart will kill us.”“So some of them make sense?”“Yep, I once read on the internet all the stuff out there it is pretty funny to say the least. A lot of it is total bullshit.”“I have read stuff on werewolves as well. The silver they got right, but a lot of them want to make me laugh my ass off.”I laughed with them I do research as well, and some of the stuff they come up with is really funny.“Anything else I need to know about vampires?” “ Well, if a vampire wants to he can form a blood bond. This is how it works: A vampire gives a human his blood then the vampire gets the humans. After that happened the vampire and human knows how the other is feeling. So, I have never done it. I heard from others that makes things interesting.” I turn to Oliver, “What about you?”He smiles, “there are rituals that an alpha can do to bind a human to a member of the pack. There is also a ritual to bind two people together..” Hmm…Cool.. I wondered what was taking Crystal so long. Not that I did not enjoy their company, but I wanted to know what was going on. Chapter 10Serena:Luckily Crystal, Tolfin, and Tony came in. Crystal sat by me and tony followed by Tolfin sat on another chair. Tolfin spoke, “The leaders both spoke to each other. They need to have you guys help us out. They fear you both. You guys could end our lives easily. I know you will not hurt us. We need to do the ritual tomorrow. The pack sorcerer will get everything you guys need for it.” I looked at Crystal, “Can I see the book?” She nods, “I have it here with me that is why it took so long.” She takes out a mini book out with the words Skylon and Waterlon handbook. It was red and black with jewels on the cover. It looked to be a whole bunch of years old. I take it from her and open it. It has all kinds of goodies in it the history of my kind and job descriptions. It has the powers I might possess all kind of goodies and rituals. I flipped to the ritual which called for a vampire and werewolves help. One for each of us. We had to have one on one side and one on the other.  It ends with a binding of all the group. This could be temporary or permanent it depends on the Waterlon or Skylon. Great another situation that looks unavoidable. Another bad thing is powers can be transferred as well. It also says that since I am bound to a vampire and a werewolf I get some of their abilities as well. It even requires their blood. EWW! “Crystal you do realize the consequences of this ritual right?” “I am fully aware of what it does. We don’t have a choice though. I kinda forgot to tell you about another threat,” she pauses dramatically, “A sorcerer is on the loose.”“A sorcerer when were you going to tell me that?” I squeak.“When something like this has happened.”Great. You see kids I have a whole lot of fun stuff to deal with. So much for this being a normal senior year. I am only 17, and I have to deal with a psycho ex boyfriend and a clique of rich bitches. Also a werewolf hunter and a sorcerer.“I might as well order a tombstone for my birthday. Here lies Serena who died because of too much stuff to deal with.” I get up and go outside to scream as loud as I can.  I scream about my not normal life. I scream about the situations, and about the fact that I can’t escape tying myself to a vampire and a werewolf. For the first time I wish I had a normal life and a normal family, but I know that is not going to  happen. I go back into the room determined to see things through. I have decided to make the best of things no matter what. If I was going to be tied to anyone I would want it to be Jason and Oliver. Things might not be too bad once things are done.I moved a tissue box and lifted it up. Noticing there was nothing underneath it. Everyone looking at me with wide and amazed eyes except for Crystal. I double dog dare Vanta Sandy to mess with me now. I will give him a fight if he messes with anyone I know.OliverI never realized how amazing it was to see her use her gifts. What will it be like to see her use her other ones? I wonder. Then crystal gets up and demonstrates hers she creates a water ball then turns it to ice. She burns it in flames and makes electricity come out of her hands.“I can’t turn into my true form until you come into your power Serena.”That is an interesting tidbit I did not know. Crystal then explained the ritual we had to do to get Serena into her powers. After she was done explaining I was in shock. The ritual made it so that the three of us can share powers. In turn Serena could get werewolf and vampire abilities. Interesting I guess I would have to be her mentor on the werewolf side of things. She turned to me and said, “I am scared Oliver would you help me with the wolf things?” “Yes I just wonder what it would be like for you.”“The change is different with every werewolf and there are many different colors and breeds to go along with it.”“And different powers too?” I nod, “It is very cool once you get used to it.”I was being honest with her. I think people are missing out on not being able to be anything other then human. So, we are all here, and we have united to take out Vanta Sandy first.I am tired it is now 11:00pm. Since she tried to sneak here I had better take her home. Crystal borrowed her mom’s car so she left. Leaving me alone to take Serena home.SerenaI am sitting in the car with Oliver at the wheel. Silence resounded. I wondered why. I can’t wait to go home though. I snuck in Oliver’s house to find information about him, but I was caught like a trespasser trying to sneak in quietly.I found out more then I bargained for like who I am, and who Crystal is. I know a whole lot about vampires and werewolves now. “How do you find your mate? I heard wolves try to find a mate sometime in their lives what is that about?”I asked curious about the answer. He sighed, “Werewolves know about it the first time they see that person. There is a connection between the two like a love at first sight thing.”Then he ended the subject and got quiet again. He acted like he did not want to talk about it again. He was quiet the rest of the way there. He dropped me off said bye and that was that. Nothing else. I still wondered about what happened to him to make him like that.  I think there is more to him than meets the eye. I do not think it is any of my business though. I shower and get dressed in a pair of shorts and a tank. I got into bed, and was trying to fall asleep.I stopped when I heard a knock at the window. I went over and opened it only to find it was Jason there.“Hey what brings you here?”“Oh I thought I would drop by, and get to know you a little bit without the stupid dog watching.”“Vampires and werewolves do not get along I guess.”“No we hate each other. I came to give you information as well about werewolves. Did you know they use humans as play things? I saw those bitch trio girls, and thought I would give you a heads up.”I was shocked again. My sworn enemy and her two evil cohorts are werewolves playthings?I laugh, “Serves those bitches right.” He laughed, “Yeah, they are kind of slutty they threw themselves at me like a couple of junkies desperate for a fix.”His Italian accent making me as giddy as a school girl. I love a guy with an accent like that.“Where are you from?”“Italy, a town called Belatzi. Where she who made me lives. I moved to the US of A to get away from the psycho of a maker. It worked thank god. I ran because I caught her in bed with another male vampire.” Oh talk about serious trust issues. I wanted to get to sleep so I just said, “Could I get to sleep now? Too much has happened I need to get rest for tomorrow.” He nodded, and I got under the covers. I was anxious to get to sleep finally. My eyes closed and I entered Dreamland everything else forgotten.
 

My Road to Getting a Publisher…

I held a publishing contract for the first time in my life, and I almost cried. I almost cried because I thought my stories were too violent for a publisher to want, and I thought it would take me years of self-publishing to get the notice of one. I have been a self-published writer for five years with only three ebooks, and finally a paperback to my name. I sent some things out, but I was rejected every time. I submitted to an anthology, but I was rejected. I sent my best work to a story place, and I was rejected. I even wrote a synopsis, and worked on the summary for one of my books. I’ve recently released a paperback since more readers prefer print over ebook. I sent The Killer Contract Agency to an editor I've worked with for the latest round of edits before I republish it a second time. I published it in 2011, but I pulled it off after someone told me how horrible it is. I redid the entire thing, and made it first person instead of third. I even added romance to it, and situations from my past to get over it. It made it way better then it was, and that's when I got the notice of Theresa Oliver who owns Write More Publications, and it was surreal. I was happy when I found out she was interested, and I signed it a few weeks later since it was a really good contract. This is the first time that the work is not all up to me, and if I like it I plan on sending her the first three Scarlet books. I was almost going to give up a few weeks earlier too. It's funny how things work out, and that's why I encourage all aspiring writers to never give up your dreams of being published, since you never know when something like this will happen. Who knows it might even be right around the corner...

Until next time,

Reviews and the Importance of them…

It’s been a few weeks since the paperback version of Being a Vampire in Retail Sucks has been out. The only copies I’ve been selling are the ones I’ve hand sold. 12 more are on the way, and I’ve got 3 copies left of the original. It was going good since I’ve told people about it. However, I don’t have any reviews for my books. That’s part of the reason why I’m not getting as many sales as I would have liked. It’s not easy putting yourself out there at all, and I’ve been trying my best. I plan on doing a giveaway soon to get the word out about my books, and I do plan on writing the three books I’ve been working on. I don’t think my career will take off till I get the first three Scarlet books out, and the other ones I plan on writing. I plan on writing full time, and it looks like I’ll have to try harder to carve out time for everything. I have a week off school next week so that helps. If you have read any of my books can you please do a review of them? It helps get the word out, and I will get more readers the more reviews I get. I will try harder at blogging and writing more. Between work and school it’s kind of hard balancing everything out. I’ll get the hang of it though…Until next time,

#NightWatchSupernaturalStore Diaries: My Introduction

I need a job because going to Lavender Fall University is expensive, and it is a good school to go to in the Luxor realm. I’m a witch named Rowan Hawthorne, and I have blood red hair cascading down my back, and catlike green eyes. I’m so pale I look like a ghost, and I move as graceful as a cat does too. A knockout to some of the men in Luxor especially to vampires. 
My boyfriend Aries Brennan is a vampire from the BloodFire clan lives with me in an apartment off WolfHaven road. He is a bad ass. Slick black hair with piercing brown eyes, and a look that said I don’t care. He wore a long trench coat with a black shirt under neath,  his legs jammed into black jeans and wearing black combat boots. He is a bounty hunter, and hunts down rogue supernatural creatures, and he is good at it too even the King and Queen of Luxor calls for his help. I have to get a job because I need to make more money then working at FastBlood, and I hate fast food since the pay is shit. I don’t want to work some where that even has a chance of me getting my head ripped off if I serve the blood wrong, or it’s not what they ordered…Too many times I’ve seen someone get their head ripped off due to a wrong order. 
Nope, no way. 
I need something that pays more, and is less dangerous. It’s the summer so I don’t need to worry about school yet like homework, tests, or quizzes. I’m studying witch journalism, and it’s been a ride so far.  I’ve learned a lot of cool stuff too. It’s expensive though since I live in the dorms and have a meal plan. Throw in books and daily living then we are talking a lot just to survive. I saw that it paid 15 an hour part time. Perfect for a college student and especially for a witch. I don’t have any other choice since retail, fast food, restaurants, and strip clubs are all that I’m qualified for till I get a degree. Forget trade school because I know what I want to do. 
I stay at the apartment during the summer, and the dorm during school.  It’s not far from the university either, and I can stay there if my roommate is being a pain in the ass. 
Nightwatch Supernatural Store is the name of the store I want to work at. It has been redone since the original owner Fiona Stagea went crazy, and it burned to the ground right a long with her. Or that’s what the report online said. It was all over the FangPaw News. One of the many news stations in Luxor. I don’t mind dealing with creatures either. I like them, and dealing with them is better then humans. I put in a job application, and fill out a survey online. They use a personality profile to filter out the hires they don’t want. Yes, the customer is always right. (Yuck I hate that phrase, and really people abuse that phrase everyday when they make the person feel like they are stupid. Some of them even treat the sales person like they can do the job better then the person actually trained for it.) I can also use spells to subdue an angry customer. I can talk my way out of everything. I will give the item to the customer if it rang up at a different price to satisfy them if my supervisor said it’s okay…Damn, I might be hating this already if I have to please people who are assholes to me. 
This will be an experience….I hope. Man, I might want to give this a shot but something tells me I’ll hate it…I’ll find out since I just turned my application in. A few days later I got a call back for an interview. I dress in a nice shirt and black jeans since I want to look like I care about my appearance.  I get in my sports car which is a Leopard GTX one of the fastest model sports cars in the realm. I buckle my seat belt, and put the key in the ignition. One turn and I’m off to my interview. I drove by myself since my boyfriend is away on another mission to catch a cheating wife. I hope he enjoys himself. I have the interview at 12, and the store is not too far from where I live. Traffic wont be bad at all because of how close it is, and I applied to work as a sales clerk in the witch department section. I know everything about: spells, charms, potions, incantations, rituals, herbs, crystals, and everything there is to know about being an actively practicing witch. I was born one since both my parents are witches. 
I get there in record time. NightWatch Supernatural store is completely redone, and it is way bigger then Fiona’s was. They made it larger, and it looks like a super store that creatures can go to in order to get the items they need to survive. The carts are black with black wheels, and creatures are already shopping  and walking back from the store with their carts full of black bagged items to their cars. It’s not as busy as a saturday since it’s a Wednesday. Most of the supernaturals are working at their office jobs, and it wont get busy till later in the day. 
I look at their faces, and some smile at their families as they talk and walk with them. Vampires, witches, werewolves and all kinds of creatures shop here. The outside is all black walls and the roof is red. The tittle NightWatch Supernatural store was made with red lettering on a black background. The store is busy once I get through the revolving doors. I see the people checking out, and all the registers are lit up. I hope to God I don’t get a cashier position. I don’t like staying in one spot at all. I don’t want to be the one ringing up people with endless lines at all. Forget thinking about Black Friday. It’s not going to be here for a few months since it’s August. I passed the one and only fast food restaurant here. Fang’s FastBlood. There are hungry vampires standing around to get their hot blood order. Then customer service is busy with people returning things. The jewelry area and accessories are across from it. It’s all very slow in a way. There are not any major holidays coming up yet either. I pass all the various departments  and head back to personnel.
I opened the door and a receptionist greeted me. She smiled at me and asked, “How may I help you?” I smiled back at her, “I have a job interview at 12.” “No problem, Ivy and Aqua will be with you  soon just have a seat.”I sat down at a seat, and waited for the interview. It’s annoying to wait for something since I have no patience. After a few minutes two women came through the door. 
Nymphs by the looks of them Ivy and Aqua since they are wearing a name tag. Two different nymphs too. Ivy is green haired and Aqua is blue. Ivy took out a pen and paper to record my answers to the questions. 
Aqua is the one who asked the questions. 
“Tell me about yourself.” She asked with a smile on her face. 
“I’m a witch, and I’m a college student at Lavender Fall University. I love reading old spell books, learning about rituals and using my knowledge to help my boyfriend Ares hunt down rogue creatures.”
Her eyes widened, “Impressive. He is a powerful vampire too. Next question: Why should we hire you?”
Easy question….
“I love helping other witches find the tools, ingredients, crystals and herbs they are looking for to assist them with their needs. Especially the new ones that are just learning about their crafts. Whether it’s a love spell to attract a mate, or protection from an evil ex. I love helping them it’s something I love to do, and I hope I can do that at Nightwatch.” 
She smiled, “Good answer and I love hearing that since the customer is always number 1. They are the ones that pay our pay check after all.” 
“They sure do, and that’s why I’d be an excellent asset to your company. I’m also a people person, and I love people.” 
I rub it in some more because it’s easy to pretend you care but in reality you couldn’t give two shits. 
“Okay, that’s a really good thing. I don’t need to ask you how you feel about people since you love them.”I smiled, “I sure do.” 
“Then you’ll fit right in the Nightwatch family here. We are more like a family now that crazy bitch Fiona is gone.”
“I heard about it, and she changed it some.” “Yes, and it made Fiona’s more of a family, and a fun place to work at instead of one you dread working at.  They come here for more then just a paycheck. You also get paid $15.00 for part time which is more then minimum wage in the Luxor realm.”
“Good, I’ll need the money to get through school.” 
“And I would have the interview longer, but I already know you’ll make a good fit working at Nightwatch Supernatural Store. Welcome to the team we’ll let you know when orientation is…” 
“Looking forward to it.” then I left after that since I’m now going to be a sales person in the witch department of this store. Maybe working retail might not be so bad? 

I’ll see since I’m only just starting and I hope I don’t regret my decision to work in retail…. 
Until next time,Wolfdreamer25

My Experience with Createspace

Recently, I have discovered some readers will only buy books if it is in paperback form. Several of my novels only come in ebook form, and I have decided to publish on in paperback for the first time. I used the novella #BeingaVampireinRetailSucks since it’s longer then the rest, and it’s part of a series too.  There are still people who prefer paperback over ebooks so that’s a good reason, and I can give copies to people who are doing giveaways too. The next question I will probably get is when are the rest of the books coming out, and I have book 1 done, halfway written book 2, and I know how to write book three since I’ve outlined the shit of out everything. It’s only a matter of time, and when they are popular enough then someone might pick them up to narrate the audio version. Maybe. The paperback version is way different then the ebook since it has more to it like a spine, and actual cover. I had issues uploading the docx and pdf file since the words are bigger then the size I wanted it. I used 5 x 8 for it, and it’s glossy instead of matte since I’ve heard better results with the glossy version. It was a pain in the ass, but at the same time fun. I first went to createspace.com and filled out my information. Then comes the tax information to get paid, and you have to create an account so you can keep track of everything. Then comes the book like putting in the title, and then you have to have an ISBN I went with the free Createspace one since I don’t have the money for the custom one. It was $99 for a Bowker one. Not for me yet. But it’s a learning experience because I have had issues with the formatting mainly, and it sucked ass getting it to work but I still loved the results. In the end since the lettering kept getting cut off in the first one I had to change it again and again. In the end I changed it to 6x9 instead and moved the lettering underneath the name tag. I set it at $9.99. I centered the chapter headings and underlined them, and added page numbers. I should have deleted some of the front like the Smashwords edition stuff, and the ebook information. I left it though since I could spend days just getting it perfect, and in the end I left it as it is. It’s my first paperback after all.  Now it’s available through Amazon and Createspace. The whole process was not bad at all, and it was pretty easy. I loved the results in the end. I even stayed with the glossy cover. Here are the links since it’s live:amazon.com link: http://amzn.to/1NDTet4Createspace link:https://www.createspace.com/5664142
I hope you enjoy reading this as much as I enjoy writing this. If you are an author thinking about going with Createspace I highly recommend it since it’s the best option out there and you won’t regret it. 
Here are the version pictures:

#FurandFangofLove Chapter 1 and 2...

I don’t love Viper the way I used to, and I feel more miserable then happy with him. He makes me want to give up hope that I will ever be happy again. Things were great the first few years, and then it got worse. Way worse since he turned into a controlling jerk. I owed him an explanation about everything. His temper is horrible hitting things when he is frustrated since we go into a fight, and he hit the steering wheel over it. I can’t take it. I don’t want to be engaged to him. I don’t want to wake up next to someone who controls me and tells me what to do. Or what to say telling me how to live my life. I can’t take it anymore, and I want to run away. Life is not worth living if you are with someone who makes you miserable. I’ve taken him back even when he treated me like a dog. Telling me there is nothing I can do about it, and to deal with his attitude. I really don’t want to exist anymore it is that bad. I feel like this is the end. I’m Midnight a witch from the Luxor realm, and Viper is a sorcerer who loves to flirt with others and brag. I feel like I have no choice since he is from a very powerful family, and the idiot gets other people involved in the fight too. I hate it, and I want to find someone better. I want to be with someone who makes me happy to be alive. I want to feel love again, and all I feel is numbness. I moved out of his apartment and now I stay in one of my own. I sit down in the apartment I stay at, and flip through the channels. Don’t care about porn. Nope. No romance since I hate it. It sucks anyway and its overrated. They are all going to hurt me and abuse me just like Viper does.  My mind rambles on and on: I’m going to be fine, and then he gets mad and hits me. Leaving a red welt because I disagreed with him. He wants to fit me into a box, and lie about it. He hates my religion it’s obvious since he tells me that I’m a hoarder and I don’t need as many books. Taking my things and throwing them just because he doesn’t like the way I handle my stuff. I feel like giving up dating because of him that my true love got hit by a bus. Okay screw it I deserve better, and he is always in my personal space all the time. He called me verbally abusive and that I was trying to change him. I’m not I was only calling him out on his shit. I can’t take it anymore and I shouldn’t have to. I remember the day I ended things with him. I call him up done with his shit, and he answers on the second ring. "What do you want I'm in the middle of something?" He tells me probably fucking other girls behind my back. "It's over I don't want to date someone who called me verbally abusive. That and you kept on asking why I needed to be alone. You were always there, and did not listen when I told you I needed days off. You tell me what to do, and persuade me your way. You're not allowed to come to my apartment since I’ve moved into a different place, and if you do  come in I will get a restraining order."I hung up not bothering to listen to his shit. I don't want to marry someone like him anyway since he can't handle emergencies without freaking out. I don't have to put up with it. No girl should and being alone is better then being miserable. I pack up everything that reminded me of him, and then burn all the love notes. I want to find love again, and with someone who cares about me enough to not control me. I don't like being treated like a dog, and after 4 years I'm done. Finished. He can cry to me and bring all the chocolates, flowers, and candy he wants it wont change the fact that he is an asshole. After doing that I go back to watching television on the flat screen and turn it to the witch channel, and an ad pops up.  Want to win the love of two of the hottest men alive? Then keep watching. A sexy guy pops on the screen and he is so gorgeous it is not even funny. Curly dark brown hair, brown eyes, and an eye brow ring. He even has an industrial in his left ear and a sexy scorpion tattoo on his left forearm. Dreamy. He wore a muscled shirt to show off his sculpted body. He has a trim waist and his legs are encased in leather. A dreamboat in my eyes. I really want him and he is a werewolf. Yummy! "I'm Zephyr and I'm looking for a sexy vampire, werewolf, witch or creature to stay with me and rule by my side. You could have me if you win the challenges, and we can rule together in the Scorpion Moon pack. If your out there I'll be waiting..."Then another guy pops up and he was sexy too. A surfer with sexy hazel eyes, brown and blonde hair the blonde tips are spiked. He has a sculpted body too and wearing a sexy silk black shirt and legs encased in leather. This guy is a vampire since his fangs are jutting out of his mouth, and instantly I'm turned on. I love vampires. "Hello ladies. I'm Hyperion. I'm looking for a sexy vampire, werewolf, witch or creature to rule by my side. I need a woman who has a wild side, and can help me rule the Wolf Fang clan. If you are her then come and fight for me don't forget you have to win challenges and dates to win my love."Then it gives the information for the place to audition and I write it all down it starts tomorrow and ends in a week. I've missed feeling the love, and I've never done this before. I want to win one of them because I need a way out. I was promised to Viper because his blood line is one of the ruling families, and if I marry Zephyr or Hyperion then I can get out of it for good. My mom probably thinks we are getting back together, but this time we are not. I'm done for good, and I'm not going back. 
The tears start up again running down my cheeks, and I let it happen because there is no cure for a broken heart. I really did love him until he betrayed me. I hated him with a passion, and I can only hope one of the boys can get me out of my slump. I want to feel wanted and loved instead of miserable. They way he talked about my family and his family insulting me. I don’t want to marry someone like that. I hate him with a passion since he turned into a religious controlling jerk. I need to feel things again, and I want to feel love again. Maybe they might be the soulmate I was looking for I can definitely relate to the werewolf since I turn into one like a werewolf/witch hybrid. Another reason why Viper hates me even more since I’m not a pure witch like some girls are. A freak he calls me, and that if I break up with him I’ll never find anyone that will accept me the way I am. I will find someone who will love me for me, and not try to pull half the stuff he did.  I’ll have to dress nicely, and get a position to compete on the show. It’ll be my ticket to finding true love, and hopefully finding a guy worth my time. It’ll also be my chance to be on television and prove to Viper I’m worth it even if I’m a half-breed. I just hope I get a spot on the show…  
Chapter 2 The Audition:I dress in my best outfit for the interview, a sexy silk black top and a red skirt. I even wore nice flats so I wont be too bad with my feet. I figured this will help keep my mind off the break up. I don't want to just sit around and cry over it either. I took a potion to keep the pain of heartbreak away. I needed a clear  head  to win the audition. This is also the first reality television show that Luxor has done, and it is the first dating show of its kind. It was copied from the Crystal Crest realm when the humans started doing it. The hard part is waiting since I see all kinds of creatures here turn up for the meeting. Witches, vampires, werewolves, you name it they are all here. I hope I can beat them out. I know I have something to offer the guys that the other girls can’t like I’m a hybrid witch that can turn into a wolf. One of the first of my kind mom is a witch and dad is a werewolf which is why I need to marry someone powerful. Finally, after a few minutes the interview begins in front of a panel of people and the director of the show. The woman is dressed in a nice black suit, and she is a vampire with black hair and brown eyes. The man is wearing a black suit with dark brown eyes and black hair a werewolf.  They smile at me and the man speak, “My name is Archer and I’m the director for the show. I’m going to ask you a series of questions so I can better get to know you to see if you’re a good fit for Hyperion or Zephyr.”I smile at him, “No problem, I understand.”“Tell me about yourself.” “Hi, my name is Midnight Starr, and I am a fun loving, free spirited witch. I love vampires and werewolves because they are way better than any species out there.”  I smile at the camera hoping to please the people auditioning me for the show.“How do you feel about vampires and werewolves?” “I love them since they are both very sexy. I love being bitten too. I don’t mind giving my blood to the right vampire. I also loves wolves since I can turn into one. I love the feel of their fur against my skin, and they are strong and protective over the one they love.” “How do you feel about the other girls?”“Not competition and they can’t hold a candle to me. They are going to be picked off one by one. Its only going to be me and the guy in the end no one else. I always go after what I want. I get what I want and the rest of the girls can fight among themselves.” I tell them with a smile on my face.“How do you feel about using spells to get what you want?”“I’d do it in a heartbeat for the right guy. I’ll do anything for the one I love. I have no problem taking out the competition in any way just to get one of the guys.” “Relationship status?”“Single and recently out of a bad engagement. He was a tool so no loss there, and I want to find love with a sexy vampire or werewolf. I’m sick of asshole witches and I heard vampires and werewolves are better in relationships and with commitment which is what I’m looking for.” “Are you prepared to fight for their love?”“Yes, for them I will do anything even kill for them. I’d do anything they ask, and even hog them. I love men like them, and I’d do anything even let the vampire bite me because I know we are like energy drinks to vampires.” “How do you feel about drama since you will be in a house full of women?”“Bring it on since I will fight a girl for them. If they start stuff with me then I will finish it by any means necessary.”“How are you in a fight?”“I have spells to help me with that, and I can use them to give me strength that can out match them.” “Do you have diplomatic skills?” “Of course, my mom taught me that when I was little since I needed them as skills to talk my way out of situations. I’m from an important witch line and merging them with either the vampire or the werewolf will be beneficial in the long run.” "Show me your best spell." The head guy tells me I pull out my Opal. I had to get on this show since the leaders are on there. The guys I am competing to date for are Hyperion a 500 year old vampire coven leader who still has not found his soul mate, and Zephyr the uber hot werewolf Alpha with a take charge attitude. The winning girls will be taken as their mates and a ceremony will be performed to bind them together. The mates will also be in charge of their coven or packs with them. I would think it was a really good thing to be a leader, but I have no idea how to lead. I will learn in time if I win one of their hearts. I activate the stone and the power bursts through me like a pulsating, energy giving being. It feels very good when the magic takes over and changes me into a white wolf. I’m not just a shape shifter, but a witch shifter. I love to turn into predators like lions, tigers, wolves, and bears anything big. No prey animals at all. I look at them, and give them a howl. Their eyes widen. I change back my clothes on me before I appear. "How was that?" They nod...and smile. "You're in the show."  I walk out happy to be one step closer to finding my soulmate. I drive home to my apartment. I drive past gas stations, restaurants and malls.  The area of Kalino Moon is one exclusively for vampires, werewolves, witches and fae. No humans since they have a history of prosecuting us since we are different from them.  I get back to my apartment in record time. I love it with its big kitchen, library, living room, master bedroom and office. I check my mail to find a letter from my parents house. Dear Midnight, We have to discuss an issue about your engagement. Viper Red is a great guy, and he asked about you too.  Come over for dinner and we can discuss the details.Love, Sabrina StarrI crumpled the stupid note, and sent it hurling into the fire place wishing I could burn the words Viper from my mind. The vile, selfish witch who cares more about status then love. He only wanted to marry me since my parents are head of the witches in Luxor. They control all the circles in the area, and whoever I marry will be head too. I look at the time to see how long I have left. 3 hours until dinner which means time to play Enchanted Forest, a role playing game in Luxor where you can do missions and interact with other players. Some traditons from Crystal Crest are adopted like video games since it helps pass the time. I have the latest high tech computer. It has 8gb memory, and 2 tb heard drive space. I have a huge screen with a colorful mouse and keyboard. It is called a Windchaser computer for gamers with the latest graphics card. I turn on my computer and it starts up. I log into my account. It displays a picture of a wolf staring at the camera as my desktop display. I took the picture a long time ago while my friend captures a picture of me in wolf form. I love it, and the background is a place called Falling Waters a forest that has a beautiful waterfall in it. A time before Viper got his claws into me. The full moon was bright that day. I sigh wishing I could go back, and run through the forest as a wolf. Feeling the wind on my skin, and hearing all the sounds of nature. I hunted the small prey in the area. A swim in the pool that renews and cleanses me. It makes me happy, and I really need to be free of this promised relationship. I click on the program and log into my account. My avatar pops up, and I go look to see who is online. I smile seeing the name xxglittersparklexx my friend Alexia who is a dragon shifter is on. I pull up the chat menu.Witchwolf26: HeyXxglittersparklexx is typing…xglittersparklexx: Hey how did the audition go? Do you think you go it? Did you use what you have?Witchwolf26: Yes, I got it. The audition went great, and of course I used my gift. I have to have one of them to keep me from marrying that asshole. I really don’t want to end up with Viper he is too shallow and cruel. Xxglittersparklexx: Exactly I wouldn’t want him either, and you need a portable computer in case I need to advise you how to take out competitors. I smile to myself. Alexia is very good at persuasion considering she is one of the enchanter dragons that can persuade people with just her words. She gave me a necklace to hypnotize the person or people of my choice. It is going to be fun wreaking havoc on the girls lives. I will definitely tell the guys if one of the girls lie. I will be the spy and take out the girls one by one. I do need to form an alliance with one of them. Witchwolf26: I know you are going to help me. I can see the fun already. Xxglittersparklexx: Yes we are. let's go get them tiger, and make sure you're the only girl left standing. Witchwolf26: I will ttyl I sign off. I turn off the computer, and see if I have a laptop. I don't. I need to buy one anyway. I get dressed since I'm going to dinner afterward. I do my make-up which means blue eye shadow, paint my lips pink, and brush my long black hair. I love my smoky grey eyes that look like I have a smog in them. A gothic witch ready for a party. I dress in a black dress with black high heels. I put on my moon necklace, and got in my car. A blue saber with a 6 cylinder engine, plush leather seats, and a cool barbed wire steering wheel. I love this car, and it got me through the tough times. I pull out of the complex and head to good old moms and dads house, which is a big mansion on top of Ravenswood Hill. I whir past---oops I forgot my computer. I am supposed to get a laptop beforehand. I make a U-turn at Protheria, and head to the  Cattal Metro complex which is a shopping center that houses all kinds of shops like a movie theater, restaurants, clubs, and various clothing stores. The one I wanted was Jack’s electronics that has all the latest computer gadgets, gaming systems, televisions, and cameras. It has movies and tv shows on DVD as well. The place is a big store and nicely displayed electronics with sections clearly labeled, and it has a grey marble floor with dark blue walls. It is a nice place, and I love shopping here since it is affordable for me. I head to the back where the laptops are, and I saw one of my friends named Typhoon who is a vampire that I met a few years ago. He is my go to guy for all my electronic needs.  He has brown hair and eyes with glasses and has the expression he’d rather be partying then at work. I spot him and smile at him after he is done helping a customer. He sees me and smiles back. “Hey, I’m going to need a good laptop with a ton of memory. Good graphics with the highest speed out there, and a good sized screen not too big and not too small.” He nods loving my question since I know what I want. “Yes, I know what you need. I’m providing technology to the contestants on the show to talk to their loved ones, doing interviews during the shows, and recording their thoughts about the girls, guys, and the situations. They are required this time. “ My eyes widen, “Wow….they are allowing people to have technology on the show? That is neat.”He smiles, “Interacting with the fans is a must, and so is commenting on the things going on like fights and interaction with the guys.” “Can we play video games during down time?” He nods, “Yes they will allow you to play games in between challenges, and there will be down time too.”Interesting….”So which one do you recommend?”“The Ripkin Model 86 it has a good bit of memory, awesome graphics, good software programs. Everything you need to interact with the fans, talk to family, and play video games.” I got the computer surprised that it came in colors. I winded up picking out a red one, purchased it, and made my way to my family house. I put the computer in my trunk in a secret compartment to protect it from thieves. Once I get out of the parking lot I make my way to Redford Estate which is where my mom lives, and then pull up to the gate. I use the key card from my wallet to open the gate, and park in the driveway. I did owe her an explanation as to why I finally left Viper for good. I make my way to the door seeing the paint peeling from age, and the bat shaped brass knocker. This house has been here for a while since she became a leader of the Saint Moon witch coven. I love the house with the statues of wolves and gargoyles. It has several rooms, a big master bedroom, library, ritual room, office, and a big commercial kitchen. I can remember mom baking cookies with a touch of magic in them. I walked in the living room, and to my dismay my ex Viper was there. He is reddish blonde with blue eyes, and a body built like a swimmer. He gives me that arrogant smile he uses to entice girls. On me it just looks like he tries too hard. I hate that smile since I was fooled by it once. A time when he was actually sweet instead of a major asshole. Religion made him an asshole, and he was far too interested in darker arts for me. That arrogant smile now makes me feel like slapping him. He now has many girls a night. I hate the fact that mom wants me to stay with him because he is rich. His parents are co leaders with us, and I’d rather get away from it all. “You know you can’t end things with me without me saying anything right? Many girls would kill for someone like me?” He tells me arrogantly. “I wouldn’t I’m not like the others remember, and I’m not going to be treated like a pet or called verbally abusive again. I was miserable and I’m not going to make myself miserable to keep you happy. I’m better then that you fucking rushed me, told me to deal with it, and that there is nothing I can do. You forced me to do things I didn’t want to do, and I had to argue with you to do something just because you didn’t do it yourself you obnoxious little shit. You made a big deal over the stupidest things, and I don’t want to deal with it anymore. You hit things when you were mad, and walked off. You had your friends step in when we were arguing. Douche bag. Let's not forget the article you mentioned me in it too saying its my fault you're in debt. Fuck yourself your mom should have swallowed you.”He glares, “I was doing it for your own good you have to listen to me since I know what I’m doing.”“So says the guy who still lives with his mom, and has her step in since he is not intelligent enough to solve his own problems without help. Who forces me to do things even though I've said no.” I turn my back and walk away not willing to argue with the idiot who treats me like I’m stupid when he doesn’t even know how to form sentences right. I go straight to my mom. She has long black hair like me and grey eyes. She is wearing a black silk shirt and red jeans they fit her curves perfectly along with her size 6 combat boots. She smiles at me, and all I want to do is stick my tongue out at her. “Mom I told you to not invite him, and we are finally done for good. I’m done with him as of today, and I don’t want to see him ever again. You knew all the drama he put me through, the I’ll change bullshit, and the fact that he forced me to do things I didn’t want to do by jokingly slapping me and putting a racist sign on the floor. He was always stepping in for me, and telling me what to do.” She shrugs, “He is the one promised to you. Of course he can join us, and he is just doing it because he loves you.” I frown, “There is nothing there between us, and it does not make me happy anymore it makes me miserable.  He was a controlling jerk who stepped in for me and told me what to do. He was very pushy and called it arguing passionately when he wanted me to do something. He drew a racist symbol on my floor, and took my things and put them in trash bags. He wanted to know where I was at all times. I can’t deal with it anymore, and I want to find someone who treats me the way I deserve to be treated. .”Viper comes in with a scowl, “Yes, there is a connection you just don’t want to admit it because you’re scared. I don’t have anyone else besides you, and I did not lie about wanting to get married.  I know I’m scared too since this is the first time I felt anything with a girl. We are perfect for each other and I wont control you anymore I'll let you make your own decisions. ” I glared, “Liar, liar pants on fire. You lie so much it’s not even funny. I’ve given you five chances, and you’ve blown every single one of them. Enough is enough. The only reason why you want me is because of my status. Other then that you would not be looking at me otherwise. Which is why I auditioned for Fang and Fur of Love.”His eyes widen, “How could you do that to me?” He looks at me with hurt, and the first real look I’ve seen on him that is real. “I need someone else to see in my life, and I’m going to find love. Not based on looks, money, or status at all. I need an emotional connection.” I walk out not even going to dinner with them. I’m not going to be miserable to make someone happy. I’m not going to marry him at all since he is a shallow and manipulative asshole. I go home and crash on the living room couch exhausted about arguing with a brick wall. I fall asleep and I don’t wake up till morning. By 2:00pm I read and play on my computer until the mail arrives. The letter by Nighting Ale media the station of the reality television show. Dear Midnight, Out of all the finalists you won a spot on the show. There will be no humans for you to worry about since they are not competition at all, and just for supernaturals. We are looking forward to seeing you. We hope you have a chance to win one of our hearts. We are also giving away a cash prize as well because we are leaders looking for someone to rule by our sides. We hope to see you then.Love,Hyperion and Zephyr Wow…A cash prize too. I read the additional instructions after the letter. The filming will start in two days, so I have to be on the air plane the second day. 

MRE Review Mondays Menu 3 Chicken with Noodles...

For this review instead of writing a review I filmed the whole thing instead, and I plan on uploading it to Youtube too as well as just inserting the video into this post. The one thing I can say about filming Youtube videos is it gets easier as you practice filming more and more...Here is the review:

Menu 3 Chicken with Noodles

I tried to upload the video here, but it was too big so I linked to it instead.

The next review is going to be Menu 22 Asian Style Beef Strips with Vegetables.

Until next time,

Changes to the Blog

I've had this idea for a while now, and I have also asked other writers if they have had any experience with it too. They have and I plan on publishing a few of my novels on my blog. I think it would be a fun thing to do since the story can work like that. I have already decided that the stories I'm going to use are :#Furandfangoflove and #NightwatchSupernaturalStore. I will label which one is which, and try to publish them once a week labeling which part or chapter it is. I hope it will draw new readers, and that it will be a successful series. If I like it I may write more novels this way. A lot of writers are doing this, and experimenting with it so I figured why not. It seems like a fun thing to try anyway. It will help me keep to writing more too. It's been a wild ride writing novels too. I think these projects will be fun to use to experiment with blogging a book. One of the stories has a lot of possibilities to it. The other is something that I hope people will tune into every week so they can see what will happen to the characters. I enjoy writing, and I write for the entertainment factor versus the money. It will introduce different characters story lines from the Luxor realm. It will make the world of Luxor more full, and it will be just like ours.  I hope you enjoy the story just like I will enjoy writing it and working on it a little at a time.Until next time,Wolfdreamer25

Big News About #TheKillerContractAgency

I have told Twitter and Facebook about this, and now I get to blog about it. I signed my first ever publishing contract with Write More Publications for #TheKillerContractAgency. It’s been a wold ride with that book since I pulled it off Amazon in 2011. I redid the whole thing, and I made it first person instead of third. I did fewer victims to make it a better story. I made them aliens instead of humans to give them a super hero vibe instead of a killing people for fun one. It’s been a crazy journey. I gave it to Liz McKeown to edit it so I can republish it, and when she finished editing it she recommended me to Theresa Oliver who is the owner of Write More Publications. She loved the story so much, and praised it to her. I sent her an email after that, and because of how hard I worked on the story it got the notice of a publisher. It means they are taking most of the work off my shoulders, and after doing it for so long I read over the contract which is better then a traditional deal. I jumped at it, and now time for the cover art, formatting, and I’ll let you know when the release date is. This will be my first time working with one, and it’s exciting too. I will also be blogging a few books because of the format, and the style. I write for the story and the characters mainly. I hope to do this full time since I love writing and reading. I never gave up on the story, and that’s they key to this writing business. It’s a good feeling that my hard work paid off. It makes writing worth while, and it will be in paperback which is awesome because it’s my first one. That is all for now.Until next time,

#MREReviewMonday Menu 8 Marinara Sauce with Meatballs:

I have been after this one for a while ever since Youtube Emmymadeinjapan did her review for it, and instead of doing a video review I will just blog about it. I will also link to other Youtube channels I watch that review MRES too since I’ve been doing this for a while. I’m still trying to get a handle on being in front of a camera, so that’s why I will review some but not others on camera. At some point I’ll get over it to the point where I will have no issue with doing video reviews. 
Here is the review. Items it comes with: Meatballs in Marinara Sauce, Au Gratin Potatoes, Wheat snack bread twin pack, First Strike energy bar, flameless ration heater, cheese spread, orange based powder, spoon, gum, toilet tissue, coffee and creamer, salt, splenda, and moist towelette. 
The entree tastes pretty good like the ones that come in a can. The meatballs are tender, and it tastes good. The potatoes taste good too, and it feels like a real meal to eat. The first strike energy bar doesn’t taste bad either, and once you add stuff to the bread it actually tastes good. Overall not a bad meal if you are out in the field, and want something hearty and filling.
