Cora Banks was kidnapped when she was 13 years old. She is now 17. Ever since she was kidnapped she has been experimented on. As far as she knows she's the only one. Maybe she's wrong. She remembers her family. Remembers who they are. They were the American Mafia. They weren't evil. They were family. She misses every single one of them. And needs them back. Needs them all back. What happens when she escapes her captors? Who will she be? What will the side effects be?

The Gilbert siblings are still dealing with the loss of their parents; each in their own way. The youngest, Jeremy, turned to drugs and got into bed with fellow stoner Vicki Donovan for support. Elena, the middle child, dumped her boyfriend and turned her attention towards becoming the new mother figure to her siblings; much to the annoyance of her brother. And Enya...well she left. Everyone believed that she had been staying with family friends but the truth was much more terrifying. After saying goodbye to Mystic Falls, Ena hadn't expected to return for sometime but now she has run out of options and finds herself back in the place she dreaded. With new dangers awaiting round ever corner and an undeniable attraction to the mysterious Salvatore brothers, Ena is in for one interesting year....as well as an extremely dangerous one.

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.

Feel free to post your interpretations in the comments, but don't post something like "I don't like it, because it is too confusing."

This will be marked as a completed work, despite the fact that I will continue posting parts, because each part is a completed story.
