THERE IS NOTHING SPECIAL ABOUT ELEANORA GATES, AT FIRST GLANCE AT LEAST. She's what you think she would be, a blonde teenager who's living a normal teenage life. Wrong. She wanted to get away from her home, but she didn't expect to wake up on a ship in the middle of space one morning, surrounded by aliens. Everything went down hill from there, but then the numbers shot back up once more.

What matters most is how well you walk through the fire. Or so my mother had always told me. I disagree. I believe that what matters most is why you walk through the fire.

Evalie was having an average day on May 1st, 2024. It was a full schedule as always. Meeting after meeting. All she wanted was to take the heels and dress off and collapse into her soft bed. Destiny, or the Fates she supposed, has other plans for her. Such as throwing a loopy god on her couch, playing with her dogs.

Two kingdoms at war over a single girl, and she's rising to the occasion.

"You can't just keep risking your life, Ace!" I yelled, tears pouring down my face. "Why can't I?" The man before me said quietly. He obviously didn't mean for me to hear, yet I did. "Because.." "Because why Ash?" He demanded, staring at me with ice cold blue eyes. I stepped forward to wipe a tear away from his cheek but he took a step back. "Because I love you." I yelled back. "And you're too goddamn oblivious to realize I do. That's why you need to be careful, Ace!"

He was shaken out of his thoughts by the elevator stopping abruptly at the 14th floor. It was the coder's floor so he expected a young intern or technician but who stepped into the elevator had Asher fuming. Ash brown hair, half pulled up into a smooth bun and the other half hung in loose curls falling past her ears. Calculating hazel eyes scanned over Asher as the lady's lips curved up into a sly smirk.

Charlotte had a very specific job and she had for the past three years. Protect a girl, who was now her best friend, from a future threat. She had been very very good at this job. The girl hadn't broken a bone or a lip since she met Charlotte. The thing about Charlotte is she doesn't care what happens to herself unless it directly interferes with her not being able to complete a mission. She never noticed the thing slithering in the shadow's of people. Never noticed the subtle smell of blood in the air when she was alone in her room. Never noticed. Until it was all brought to light by a certain light haired boy. Started: May 22, 2024 Finished: Edited: Best Ranking as of 5.26.24 #5 in Seniors
