My entry for the Young Writers Short Story competition. Please vote for me, it would really mean a lot :) It's not every day you suddenly what you look like. It's not every day you appear next to a crime-scene with no memory of why you are there. It's not every day that you meet a stranger with shocking blue eyes. It's not every day you forget who you are.

"Rebellions were meant to be crushed." - The Subconscious. The tale of a girl who's mind goes back and forth on her first day back to school.

A moderns teen's guide to what NOT to do... and how to survive it if you do.

Ever heard voices? Alice has. She's the girl who can hear her inner demon, and has been submitting to it for as long as she can remember. Fighting against it has been the battle of her life, and her family don't know how to connect with her anymore. They also think that she's a suicide risk. Now Alice must decide: will she let it end her life - proving their worst fears? Or will she learn to fight back and start a revolution... A Revolution of the Mind? * For the #Wattys2015 **IF YOU LIKE PSYCHOLOGICAL WORKS THEN THIS IS FOR YOU. WARNING: THIS CAN BE TRIGGERING.**

To rule the streets, one must learn sacrifice. A smart thief surrounds himself with myth, sacrificing truth. A dangerous thief writes his name in blood, sacrificing his soul. A Thief King gives his heart to no one and lives a life of solitude. Koltin Seaward thought he was all three without sacrifice. In a city where the rich live frivolous lives and the poor barely survive there are two kings. One who earns the title by inheritance, the other paid for in blood. Koltin paid the price and earned the title to rule the underworld, but his world is about to change. To protect those he holds dearest, Koltin has to fight in order to save his family, his city and himself, but at what cost? What will he sacrifice? His heart or his soul...

Christine Evans doesn't remember why she played her hand in the suicide game, or why the boy with eyes of red urged her to. Christine Evans couldn't understand why, on the anniversary of that same attempted suicide, a boy with eyes of indigo appeared seemingly out of nowhere and why he looked so damn familiar. Christine Evans, as surely all heroines are, is special and caught in a dance between two men with eyes of colour no eyes should have any business being. What might be the price of the truth behind an attempted suicide and the cost of understanding the mystery around Red and Indigo? Christine Evans may just have to risk more than her soul to find out. My days, is this blurb pretentious enough...please do let me know...
