In a world full of gangs, drugs, violence, claims, it doesn't surprise me how many people feel unsafe with the little information that the media gives about it. I was scared at first too, even though I was learning how the underground criminal activity worked for a report I was writing in school. I never thought I'd be the one to tell a story on how I got claimed and how I grew to love my life as claim better than the one previously. * Katherine Jade Amour was your average college student, she was popular, she was acing her classes, and was on her way of living her dream as being an FBI agent to try to help stop the gang activity in California little did she know she was going to be in the center of it. One day when she's at work the one and only LaMelo Ball came strolling in, Katherine was mesmerized by his charming words. Little did she know that it was him the violent gang leader who has killed more people then she could count. It isn't long before he comes into the store regularly when she's at work or showing up at her school bearing presents trying to get to know her. Katherine was completely under his spell until the night she was claimed. Walking home from work had always been a simple safe task until she realized she was being followed and took another path then normal. When she finally thought she lost whoever was following her, she was grabbed by the one and only LaMelo Ball and he took his claim to her. Will Katherine be able to escape the serial killer, the dangerous gang leader? Or will she fall in love with him? Is Katherine's life in more danger then she ever thought it would be? Or would LaMelo die to protect her? Will this claim be the end of her or the beginning of a new life?

When a powerful strong gangleader falls for a sweet and abused loving girl what will happen? "Can't you just stay away from me I don't like you and I especially don't wanna be with you." I spat. "Well to bad baby girl because I have already fallen for you which means you are already mine."He says with a smile plastered on to his face. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Have not had time to edit this story yet.

Not all latinas are hardcore, tough cholas. But I desperately wanted to be one. Would I ever fit in with their dark lip liner and pointed eyebrows? Maybe.. Or would I be destined to be a loner for the rest of my life? A geek, nerd, weak.. I wanted to change and I wanted it bad. (Includes dialogue in Spanish)
