#1 Teen Fiction | #1 Young Adult | #1 Romance "We all need someone to drive us mad." - The Wombats. He stared arrogantly down at me, a smirk plastered across his face. I sneered up at him with distaste, wanting to wrap my fingers around his neck and strangle that smirk off of him. He brushed my golden hair from my face, his long, slender fingers sparking electricity in my skin, making my knees wobble together. "Will you ever, forgive me?" he whispered huskily, his eyes intently staring into mine. His face was only mere inches from me. I just needed to reach out a little further to kiss him... "Yeah. Over my dead body." I snapped, before throwing my arms out forcefully, shoving my hands into his chest, pushing him from me. -*-*-*- He, is Carter Williams. I, am Lacey Adams. We were once, inseparable. The 'Golden Couple'. The unbreakable best friends, that everybody envied. Nothing could get between us. A part from being tighter than white on rice, we updated our status from friends to being in a relationship, frequently. We were neighbours, which meant our families were all close and even co-owned houses around our town. This, all is, until the day of my sixteenth birthday. Everything changed. The loving relationship we shared, was severed and torn apart. I couldn't hardly stand to look at him any more, without spitting fire that is. Every day is torture being around him. He was in all my classes at school and the window in my room was even directly aligned with his. So, what happens? My mother's mum gets sick, so dad and her fly out. Just them. Leaving me to stay with Carter and his parents, who are never home. We would be alone. In one house. Under the same roof. If I was insane before, I have no idea what I am now. © 2016 by LaurenJ22.

Mica Mayors is an ex-cop leading a double life. When her sister is mysteriously murdered for reasons unknown, Mica is left seeking answers and vengeance. She is forced out of her early retirement hiatus and turns to a secret agency to uncover the missing pieces to the puzzle behind the death of her sister. If only Mayors knew what she was signing up for. She didn't realize that her new team would range from ex-conmen to rogue spies who all call themselves the Vigilante. Mica is compelled to the corrupt side of law and expected to carry out duties that may possibly go against all her moral values. But how far would you go if it were your sister? Your own blood? Though Mica begins to lose herself, her purpose along with her, and the head of the agency has no choice but to enforce strict disciplinary protocol to restrain her even at the risk of her sister's killer making a clean getaway. As a result of Mica's temper and brute force she becomes obligated to undergo intense training whilst the killer remains at bay. She may not perceed in her efforts until she becomes the perfect spy, the ultimate vigilante. And thus, she needs to become someone else... Conman? Rogue? Spy? Not quite. Try all in one. Meet the new and reformed Mica Mayors, Vigilante 2.08, who plays by her own book. *Please note that although this is an action orientated story, it mostly revolves around other concepts such as hatred, revenge, freedom and forgiveness. #216 Short Story
