Excerpt: Sauntering forwards, she slid onto his lap with all the grace of a prima ballerina and wrapped her long arms around his neck. Leaning in to his ear, she blew out a little puff of hot air so that it fanned lightly over all the right places. She felt a sense of utter satisfaction when he shuddered. Now that Chloe was certain that she had his attention, she whispered in his ear. “You may have been the best bucko, but guess what…..I’m going to be better.” She lifted up so that she could look him in the face and smiled confidently back at him. His previous cocky demeanor had seemed to have lost some of its earlier steam, “Who are you?” he asked so low that only Chloe could hear him. His forehead was creased as he searched her face, watching her as if she was some type of strange puzzle that needed to be solved. Chloe lifted her hand patted his cheek. The boy didn’t have a clue. “I, my friend, am your biggest adversary. So what do you say Mr. Player, won’t you play with me?”

Natalie Abernathy was born into a world where the lines on your skin tell everyone who you are. They appear like tattoos and change with every choice you make, every person you meet. Only one line remains constant. Your love line. The only colored line on the human's skin, a blood red mixed in with the black. Natalie's world is consumed with The Sickness, the next stage in human evolution that can strike you when you are fourteen. Or doesn't. If you survive The Sickness, you become one of the Elite, faster, stronger, smarter than the humans who don't get The Sickness. The Elite's lines are colorful, beautiful in their own way. A mixture of deepest purples, the darkest blues, and dominate greens. They cover the black lines the Elite were given at birth, rewriting their destinies forever. As Natalie comes to find, the Elite aren't what they seem. The Sickness is not what it seems. Her heart is broken by the loss of her best friend Cecil McCourt, who succumbed to The Sickness days before their shared fifteenth birthday. Her friends surround her, trying to fill the void left by Cecil. Time moved on, carrying Natalie along with it. Now it's three years later, everyone's senior year. Days before school starts, Natalie befriends the new boy in town, Union Davidson. Cecil (now known as Cyrus) is quick to warn her away from him. At first she thinks it's a trick but as things start to happen, Natalie finds herself trapped between the thing she wants most in the world and something else quite darker than she imagined. © SCCourtney ~ * ~ Finalist in the Watty's 2012

I automatically leave a story when it starts out, “i wuz 10 wen i fell in LOVEEE.” It literally burns my eyes to read something like that, so one time I asked a person why they would write like that and their answer was, “I’d rather get my story out there quickly and keep my fans interested than waste my time proofreading.” You know what that tells me? That if you don’t have the time to simply spell out the whole word “when,” you probably don’t have the time to write a decent story with an intriguing plot and developed characters; if you don’t have those, you’ll lose you fans anyway. Now, I know a lot of people really don’t know how to write so, I’ve made this guide to help out. I’ll be posting chapters on character and plot development, emotion/tone, setting, clichés, and whatever the heck else I can think of, but right now I’ll start with grammar and spelling.

Hello! I've decided to re-write this book, because I feel the new direction will make it much more interesting and open up more opportunities. As I update (which I do as often as I can) I write 'UPDATED' next to the chapter number. Until I get it all done, things may not make sense as you're reading them. I'm going to try and stick to the original plot as much as possible, so main characters and big events won't change that much. Thanks for reading! Here's a synopsis: Lilly Madison is a trained killer. She's spent her whole life killing vampires and hunting demonic creatures with her parents. They travel the country constantly, so Lilly hasn't had the opportunities that many kids her age have had, such as a proper schooling and a boyfriend. There is no room in her life for love, but things change when she is assigned to get close to a young man named Jason Adams because he is suspected of being a killer. Jason keeps to himself and stays close to his family, but Lilly is determined to crack through the barrier he seems to have around himself. Talking to students, she finds, reveals only rumors. She needs to get closer to uncover the truth. Shocking events reveal Jason’s true identity that he’s tried so hard to keep buried. Despite all common sense, Lilly finds herself drawn to him. She knows there is no room in her life for love. She knows he's a monster. So why is it that she finds it so hard to tell her parents about what he actually is? Desperate to protect her love’s family, but yearning to be loyal to her own, Lilly is forced to make the choice of who to side with. Will her decision force her to die a gruesome death or become immortal? Read on to find out!
