When I was 16 years old, my parents decided they didn't want me. We went on vacation, a cruise actually, all around Europe. We stopped briefly on an island somewhere near the Netherlands, where they left me in a tourist shop and never returned. There was never any warning for me, I thought they loved me. But I guess you never really know what's going on in other people's head. Three years have passed since that day, and I've been homeless on an island near the Netherlands, in the "Jansen Koninkrijk"or Jansen Kingdom, with no hope for my future. That is, until the Prince of this kingdom picked me up off the streets. ------------------------------------------------- This story is based off of a vivid dream I once had, with a few things changed of course. All the photographs, including the cover, are all my own creation as well! I hope you enjoy!

What if you knew the exact time and day that you would meet your soulmate? Would you believe in love, in true happiness, and in soulmates? I'm Annabelle Baslin and my clock isn't the same as everyone else's. My mother tells me to be patient, that everyone's countdown is different. If that's true, then why am I the only one in history to have this happen?

"You knew your mission, and you deliberately disobeyed it! You have soiled the name Nightmare Catchers for us all," Cliff yelled at Stefan. Stefan, who was sitting in a spotlight chair in front of us, squirmed in his seat. "Yeah, and not only that but you almost killed Ivory!" Felix spat the words towards Stefan. I looked at the ground at the mention of my name. I understand that this whole messed up situation revolves around me, but I hate to be the reason Stefan is acting the way he is. "None of you understand! I did this to save Ivory!" Stefan hissed. ~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~ Author's Note: Hello my lovely readers! Just a couple of heads up on the book... 1) I will be sporadically editing and adding new chapters, so just bare with me. 2) It takes a while to really get into the story, but it's so worth it! 3) I would love love LOVE your feedback! Thank you all so much! -B

At age 8, Lorelei Tinley made a promise to her childhood friend, Emmett Clarke, to marry him when they became old enough. He was the sweetest boy she knew. He would bring her flowers from his mother's garden, give her kisses on the cheek when it was time for them to part for their afternoon naps, and leave little notes in the small mail box nailed to the tree that held up the beautiful treehouse her father made. But after the promise was made, her family got transferred to England (used to live in the US) for work. She never saw him again. SLOW UPDATES

Before the country of Halcyon even existed, it was the end of the world. There were fires and wars everywhere. Every one was fighting with each other and the population ended up dieing, except for President Boone. He was a peace maker and stayed away from all the trouble. He needed to repopulate, so he made Renders. He creates them like a clone using the DNA from those who have perished in fires and wars. President Boone didn't want a world like the old one, the one that ruined everything. He wanted the Renders to be the complete opposite of the human race before. They are to be made perfect. Have great manners, can speak well, and more, but most importantly, they can't dream or know about what the past was like. But sometimes the Renders don't turn out the way they are supposed too. The X-tras. SLOW UPDATES
