Orphaned, forced to move to keep a deep dark secret, and cursed with abilities beyond human comprehension Angel Grigori can't explain many things in her life. So when a Silver Valley Academy classmate disappears and Angel was one of the last people to see her, it's no wonder that all eyes point towards her and her friends. But they know something the detectives don't: Ophelia was searching for a secret society at the school, and she knows just who to ask. Handsome and secretive Damian Williams, seen sneaking around campus at all hours of the day and night, is the perfect person to start her search off with. She soon discovers that the Academy, on the outside seeming so pristine and proper, is everything but. Something, or someone, is working in the shadows and she has to find out what is going on and stop them, before the secrets the school holds drag her down the deep end and seal Ophelia's fate.

The world as humanity knew it was gone. In its place was a radioactive wasteland, scorched by nuclear furnaces. The third millenium passed unmarked and uncelebrated by those in the safezones. The rich took to the oceans, and to the skies, leaving everyone else behind. Stranded in the isolated "safe zones", with no knowledge of the worlds above their heads. Igor Jonovich changed everything. Nanotechnology, long thought to be impossible, flourished under his genius. Even as the walls of their radioactive cage closed in, humanity pushed back, harnessing Jonovich's creations to explore the radioactive wastelands. To challenge the twisted creatures that lurked in the ashes of their former glory. Humanity thought they, at least, knew this scarred earth. It turns out even that was a lie. Yesterday Jared found a message hidden within Professor Jonovich's greatest work that changed everything.

Chapter One of a story I started. I'm only posting chapter one to get some feedback so I can see what works and what doesn't. It was a normal assignment: "parent" an egg for two weeks to learn about responsibility. For Kyle, however, the end of the assignment brings about a whole new beginning.
