Sweater wearing, art loving Indigo has a problem. A totally called for problem that's as cliche as it gets, but a problem nonetheless. Indigo's the new girl of Everly Academy, school for the rich and privileged. Where newcomers are as rare as it gets. Intrigued by her sudden appearance, the notorious bad boys of Everly, the Fallen Angels, take an interest in Indigo. (You know they're bad when they have an actual name for the group other than "Those hot bad boys.") Sadly, the Angels are the schools bad boys for a reason. Their possible gang affiliations leave students and possible friends cowering in fear, no one daring to draw too close. The boys were fine with this, they don't want anybody getting hurt no matter how cold and cruel they seemed. The only exception to this appears to be sweet Indigo, who decides to befriend the Fallen Angels. The criminals the Angels routinely deal with in their dangerous after school activities are restless, wanting, no, needing another slice of the power pie. They are willing to do anything to get it, even if that means endangering an innocent girl, such as Indigo. But, Indigo has secrets of her own, secrets that may make her less innocent than others are lead to believe. Will they clash with the powers that want her dead? Who knows. Indigo sure doesn't. ___________________________________________ "WHY DOES EVERYONE KEEP CALLING ME NEW GIRL?" Luca peered at me quizzically, his forest eyes filling with confusion. "Umm, maybe because you never told us your name?" "Ah, yes. That would do it." I nodded, like I didn't just embarrass myself in front of the hottest guy I've ever seen. Again. Whoops. -------------------------- I should probably warn you like a nice person and say that this story contains bad language and all that jazz. I promise it's not as cliche as it seems;)*****

❝Your secret is a painting?❞ I took a few cautious steps; the hairs on my arms stood on end. ❝Not just any painting.❞ Dorian approached the easel, shadows on his face as he touched the cloth protecting it. ❝It's a dark object, the manifestation of my curse. The reason I shall always live and never die.❞ I swallowed. ❝Show me.❞ * * * When Dorian Gray dies, and returns to life, Amelia Thorne is introduced to the world of the supernatural.
