Random WIP: Redemption Earned

Random WIP: Redemption Earned

All Rights Reserved



Ralf was built to be a warrior.  Trained from birth; he felt himself above all.  He took what he wanted when he wanted.  He was the warrior leading armies into battles.  Then one of his victims killed him and the Fates and Death judged him to live forever; until he gained the forgiveness of his murderer.  Fast forward three thousand years and he has seen would be gods, the creation of religions, the fall of empires and many other ‘historical’ events of humanity’s past.  He has learned the best and worst of humanity.  He gets notified his soul mate has once again been reborn 21 years ago.  Now he must win her or face another two thousand years alone.

Agnes has always had this sense of Déjà vu as she was growing up.  Now she is 21 and set to go off to Yale Law School.  Then this man named Ralf comes into her life.  Always there; if she was paranoid she would say he was stalking her.  Eventually, he starts to sit next to her at the coffee shop she goes to after class and they start to talk.  Then he tells her something that she can’t wrap her head around.  He is over two thousand years old and he must earn his redemption through her.  When she is told she gets her memories back and runs.  Will she allow Ralf to gain his redemption?  Or will she allow him to live a lonely and cursed life?

Random WIP: Blood and Water



Random WIP: Blood and Water

All Rights Reserved 
 
The Second American Civil War was truly a war between one family.  It was One Family.  Two Sides.  One War.  Both sides wanted a strong united nation but they each had their views on how to go about it.  This is their stories.  Their lives.  Entries from their journals.  This is the story of not Blood Versus Water.  But Blood and Water.  To whoever finds this, this is the true story of the second American Civil War. In the end, it destroyed one family. 

This is the story of One Family. Two Sides. One War. It is a story of blood and water. Two journals, one the leader of the blue coats- the rebels- and the other the leader of the green coats- the politicians. And bits pieced together of their actions and of their stories. It will tell the story of how through blood is thicker than water- water can still wash away blood, and in the end, it isn't blood versus water, but blood and water and how the two can affect the way the world turns. So this story is shared in hopes we learn from Elle Ryann and Jensen Winters and their view of how America should be. So without further ado- 

The lives and journals of President Jensen Winters and his First Lady Elle Ryann-Winters.

Excerpt: 

July 6th 2040
Journal~
I don’t know why I agreed to this all these years ago.  But my son asked that I keep a record of this war and maybe tell what caused it.  He said that three hundred years from now they can learn from our family’s pain.  And that may be correct.  There are two sides to this war and I feel soon it will all end.  I feel that after I copy everything I have written down in this journal the end will come.  So this first entry will be my last entry.  My son came to ask that I write it all in one large journal.  Who knows my second child’s thinking, I don’t and I raised him.  My eldest is like my father and I.  A soldier.  My youngest a princess and a dreamer.  And somehow the two is mixed and created my middle child.  A dreamer who has his feet on the ground.  I smile at the thought of my children, but the guilt eats at me.  They were raised more by my mother than me at times.  They were raised in a war.  I wonder if this is how Lincoln felt.  Or Jackson.  They were leaders in a Civil War with children.  Or Grant, he was the General.  I fight for them, of course, but I hate they grew up in a country torn by war.  But if you are reading this then I hope that the country is no longer divided.  Please learn from my mistakes and don’t divide the country again.  But then again maybe I and my side lost and you are reading this in hopes of learning from my mistake. If that is the case here is something I must tell you: No war is about Blood versus Water it is about Water washing away the Blood after all my own brother sided with my husband and fought against his own blood.  This war is hell.  All war is hell, but Civil War?  It is a special type of hell.  Brother versus Brother.  Brother versus Sister.  Sister versus Sister.  Son versus Father.  Daughter versus Father.  Son versus Mother.  Daughter versus Mother.  And worst of all, to at least me, Husband versus Wife.  I split my family apart for this war and my only hope is that I am the winner of this war but the final show down is coming.  I can feel it deep in my bones.  And I don’t think I will make it out of the final show down whole, let alone alive.  Because even if I live I know he won’t and that man for as horrible as this war is, for as horrible his actions have been… I love him…  He is my soul mate.  The love of my life.  The father of my children.  My husband.  But he chose to try to be the dictator of the United States.  He chose greed and power over myself and our children.  But I still love him.  But if need be to give my sons and daughter freedom, true freedom, I will kill him.  And that is my vow.  Freedom over love.  Blood and Water.  Blood over Water.  No matter the personal cost. 
~Elle Ryann-Winters

To Hell and Back
All Rights Reserved



Karli signed up to fight in the wars. Who exactly the enemy was, her leader wouldn't tell her. Karli signed up because Eden had spoken to her soul. Karli had given up her soul the moment Eden first spoke. But as the war continues Karli starts to question if she is on the right side... Things are not adding up. Is Eden the true evil? And if so will Karli be able to save herself before this powerful silver-tongued woman destroys her? After all, she vowed to follow Eden To Hell and Back...


Excerpt:


“I am good. I am the light. Follow me and be saved.” These were the words she used that day. I believed her and at that moment I choose to follow her. To hell and back.

I awoke in the camp the next morning. I had signed my life to her and was prepared to fight the enemy. I walked to the camp as I whistled a little tune. "Morning!"

"Karli! Good morning."

I was to find out the enemy that day. Who we were fighting and I couldn't wait. I sat down and took the coffee that was offered to me. "Sooo...?"

"The enemy is an unknown entity. Though we know of it and know they have an army against us we do not know their leader. We only know they are true evil."

So they knew nothing... "How do you fight that in which you do not know?"

"With determination Karli." Eden smiled at me the icy blue of her eyes ensnared me. I only wanted her.

'But..." I couldn't get out my objection my thoughts all on her and not this blasted war that both sides refused to give.

“There are no buts Karli, there is only a determination and faith that we will be the victors of this Godforsaken war.” She said as she blew her blood red hair from her face.

“You are correct.” I looked at this perfect being, through we were both fae, she looked like a goddess, her looks unique. I looked like any fae, glowing red eyes and blue hair with highlights, mine were purple, but others had different colors. Her eyes were an icy blue and her hair blood red, with white highlights.

“I know I am. We fight tomorrow at dawn. The evil’s army is on the way here.” This perfect being stated and handed me my orders, leaving me with my thoughts.
