A Breath Is But A Soundless Whisper Buffy

A spy's life is a lie

I dashed passed a large tree merely avoiding crashing into it and risking getting caught. If only I had brought my motorcycle along with me, I would've been out of here as quickly as I got in. I continued running taking random turns trying my best to shake the men off my trail. I made a daring turn into a narrow path only to make an abrupt stop- It was a dead end!. 'Why does this almost always happen?' I thought, now extremely annoyed. I hurriedly began surveying my environment, desperately looking for any way to escape. I had to think of something or who knows what they'd do to me if I was caught but how in the world do you escape a dead end? Suddenly, the sound of a gunshot echoed in my ears sending a rushing gust of adrenaline through my veins and soon after came the sound created by the impact of the bullet on the wall ahead of me. 'Damn it!' I hissed, I'd been caught. I raised my hands above my head and slowly turned around to face them. I gave an awkward smile at five men who were all pointing their guns at me. The man in the middle with an expression harsh enough to give anyone the creeps spoke up "Give us the flash or die!". Everything about his voice expressed nothing but a thirst for murder and blood lust. ~~~~~~ I bet you're all wondering how I ended up in something as surreal as this, so why don't I start from the beginning. My parents were your classic run-off-the-mill romcom couples. Their love literally knew no bound. It was always something special the kind you'd rarely see in real life and probably only see in story books and fantasies. They got married and a year later had me...and my twin brother Luca. My parents were rich so, Luca and I grew up comfortable, wrapped and shielded by the warmth of our parents unbreakable love. Everything seemed perfect, but who would have known that perfection could be easily broken. All it took to destroy our perfect lives was one unfortunate,bloody night. I woke up to the sounds of gunshots, panicked I got out of bed and dashed out of my room to follow the sounds and figure out what in the world was going on. I spotted Luca coming out of his room too, no doubt it was the noise that woke him up too. I ran down the stairs of our villa and entered the living room which seemed to be the source of the noise. I stopped dead in my tracks at the most horrifying sight. That was when my world shattered. My dad laid wounded on the floor and my mom had just been shot right in front of my eyes. I collapsed on the floor and screamed. The masked assassins looked up sparing me a few quick glances before escaping through the now shattered windows. Everything else that happened was a blur. Before I knew it we were at the hospital and a few months later, our lives were back to what seemed like our new normal. Luca and I went back to school, all our damaged properties along with all our security guards had been replaced and dad went back to work. We were all devastated when we lost mom and we all tried to move on and look towards the future, well all of us... except dad. He was crushed and he threw himself deep into work. He barely ever slept, always stayed in his room and quickly lost interest in raising us-we practically didn't exist to him anymore. So Luca, being older twin raised the both of us giving me all the parental attention I needed for 4years . Luca and I graduated high school and got an amazing job offer from our uncle-Mark. All we had to do was pass a test and the job was ours but I can't tell you what the test was,that part's confidential and if I told you... I'd have to eliminate you. In Summary, Luca and I passed the test and we're now undercover SPIES! It's the real deal. ***** This story is about the adventures of Andrea and her three best friends but it focuses more on Andrea's side of the story. Having growing up in a loving family, she finds it hard to believe that all she has grown to believe is a lie. She discovers that truly everything is not as it seems as it seems.

Whisper Of The Fallen

Orpheous had always envisioned his life ending in flames—but not like this. Forced into a binding ritual by Noctana, a fallen demon queen desperate to reclaim her lost empire, Orpheous becomes both her vessel and her unwilling husband. She calls it marriage; he calls it enslavement. Yet, in a world where humans, demons, and diviners wage a fragile, bitter coexistence, their unholy union may hold the key to reshaping the balance of power. In the beginning, Orpheous resists her at every turn, vowing to break free from her grasp. Noctana drives him relentlessly, wielding his body and soul as tools to rebuild her shattered clan and reclaim the throne she lost to betrayal. But as they traverse the dangerous landscape, Orpheous begins to see the cracks in her fierce demeanor—a vulnerability forged in centuries of war and loss. While battling rival demons, ambitious diviners, and human hunters, Orpheous discovers an unexpected ability: the power to transform others into demons, drawing allies to his side and strengthening their cause. Some follow him willingly, drawn by promises of power or salvation. Others, bound by circumstance, question whether they’re liberators or tyrants in the making. With every choice, Orpheous reshapes his fate—and the world. As his hatred for Noctana begins to shift, admiration and reluctant trust take root. Together, they must navigate the growing bond between them, one that could unite their disparate allies or tear them apart. But as old enemies rise and Orpheous’s influence grows, the ultimate question looms: will he use his newfound power to overthrow the queen who claimed him, or will he stand at her side, forging a future where demons, humans, and diviners can finally coexist—or collapse in fire and ruin?

The Arcane Chronicles: Whisper of the Eldritch

In the mystical world of Eldoria, where magic flows as freely as the wind, young orphan Arin discovers an ancient, forbidden spellbook hidden in the ruins of an old library. Eldoria is divided into four magical kingdoms, each governed by powerful mages who wield unique elemental magic: Terra (earth), Aqua (water), Ignis (fire), and Aether (air). Arin, initially a humble apprentice at a potion shop, inadvertently awakens a dormant power within himself after casting a spell from the book. This power, known as Eldritch Magic, is feared and revered due to its potential to alter reality itself. Recognizing the immense danger and promise of his newfound abilities, Arin sets out on a journey to understand and master Eldritch Magic. As Arin travels through the kingdoms, he uncovers the truth about his origins and the prophecy that foretold his arrival. He learns that he is the last descendant of the Eldritch Guardians, ancient protectors of the realm who once sealed away a catastrophic force known as the Void. The novel builds towards a climactic confrontation with the Void, where Arin must unite the elemental kingdoms and confront the Umbra to prevent the annihilation of Eldoria. Along the way, he grapples with the moral implications of his power, striving to balance the light and dark within him. In the end, Arin's journey is one of self-discovery, friendship, and the realization that true strength comes not from magic alone, but from the bonds forged with others and the courage to face one's destiny.
