My name is Violet Mercer. When I was about 4, I watched my parents die. A few weeks later, I was branded and shipped off with a bunch of other kids to my new fate, to train and learn for 10 years until I was sold to someone else as a slave. Brutal beginning? Yeah. But it's the truth. See, here's the thing. A few years back--maybe a little under 50--we humans did something stupid. It was part of an experiment called G42 by some genetics company that was trying to speed up evolution. What did they do? Well, they altered specific genetic strands to see if they could create a sort of super-human. Their answer? Yes. But there was a flaw in their plan. These new 'evolved' humans, or 'evos', were everything they could have hoped for--strong, and fast, and smart. Practically immortal, too, so what was the problem? They were born without emotions. Maybe this doesn't sound too bad to you, but our emotions? They're what make us human. What happened next was kinda inevitable: the Evos took over. There are two strands of DNA--get one, and your set for life. Get the other, good luck living to see past your sweet sixteen. And if you are one of the crazy (or brave, depending on who you ask) people who dares to bring a child into this world, you could give them the best, longest life ever, or doom them to an early death after a suckish life. So, yeah. Our world is screwed up. And we can't go to G42 for a solution, because as soon as the Evos realized the possibilities, they slaughtered everyone who might know something and blew up the facility. Now, dear reader, are you beginning to understand the use of emotions? This is my story. I still don't know how it ends, whether it was all for better or worse. But you're here. So go ahead and read. Maybe we'll both learn a little something. Welcome to my life. I hope you survive in this new world. By Earthstone #567 in Teen Fic on 6/17/2016

Daphne Elder knows she isn't normal-- and she loves it. It isn't just her deep love of plants that makes her different, or her habit of adopting stray cats off the streets. Daphne is a witch, which means she's far from normal, but she can't imagine a better life. That is, until her mother is called away to fight in the War against evil and Daphne is left with nothing but her wand, her wits, and a powerful spellbook to keep herself out of trouble. But when a strange non-magical girl discovers the world of dark creatures lurking underneath Detroit and even darker secrets hidden in what she thought she knew best, Daphne will need more than that to save her city. Maybe all she needs are some friends. Cover by @NatStark16 Completed 2017 Wattpad Featured Story 5/17/2018 - 6/7/2018 Edited 2019 28,986 Words
