"No one suspects children." Since the Cold War children have been used by the U.S. and Russian governments to commit acts of war. Assassinations, coups, etc... Filled with nanotech to improve their skills these "orphans" do their duty as expendable pawns. But Susanna is different. Considered a defect but she is fought for by her "father" to continue to be an operative. Now there is a new threat to America, a series of unique bombings that only the "Orphans" can manage, while old foes may be raising their heads. This is a very rough draft of a story that's kinda...moved down the list of importance. But I love the characters and world, and wanted them to continue to breathe. So depending on this does here I may jump back in to finish the work at some point.

"You do not want to know what I'm capable of doing to you" he added as she felt his icy breath on her neck. "I thought you needed to be good to save the world" she whispered. "Good - is dead. And to save the world with something that is dead does not seem efficient or effective, does it?" He deadpanned, sending shivers down her spine. ••• When an extra terrestrial force draws the attention of four awe-inspiring teenagers, Evangeline and her friends are introduced to a world of hazard, conceit, power and espionage where the atrocious prince, Zelroth Vexx, of the realm Veznythia is keen in bringing destruction to Earth for his vicious ambitions.

#WATTYS2014 HQ LOVE AWARD! There's a darkness that lurks in the City of Light Seventeen-year-old Connor Lewis is chased by a memory. On his first day of kindergarten he bit a boy hard enough to scar the kid for life. Since then he's been a social outcast at a New York private school. Through an unexpected turn of good fortune, he lands a scholarship to study in Paris, where everything starts to look up. On the first day he befriends two military brats, and he may finally get a taste of what it's like to be a normal teenager. It doesn't last. His host family - an alluring young tattoo artist and her moody, handsome boyfriend - inadvertently introduce him to the underworld of werewolves where there are two types: the born and the bitten. Those born to it take the form of elegant wolves, while the latter are cursed to transform into the half-man, half-beast creatures of horror movies. The bitten rarely survive. Unfortunately, Connor is on the wanted list of a four hundred-year-old bitten human who's searching for both a cure and a means of wiping out werewolves for good. Connor's loyalties are tested as he becomes embroiled in a conflict where werewolves, mad science and teen angst collide. POSTING ON TUESDAYS & THURSDAYS!
