Scarlett is abused. Abused by the only person she has left. She turns to music to help her enjoy life. But when her father disapproves of her passion, she leaves. Only to run into Niall Horan. Scarlett has never heard of One Direction. So when Niall takes care of her, her entire life turns upside down. Writing songs for One Direction is never easy. Especially when your psycho maniac of a father is after you. ((This story was written and completed in 2013)) TW:: I wrote this story years ago when I was going through my depression so this entire fic is filled with triggers. You have been warned.

Crystal Erwin is known as the Daughter of the Games; the child born in the arena. She's been told her entire life that her real father is dead. However, when her friend pulls out an old Hunger Games tape, Crystal realizes that her mom has been lying to her. It becomes her mission to find her real father. But what she doesn't realize is that Luke Corwin is a monster, who strives for power over anything. Finding Luke will restart an old Panem tradition, altering Crystal-and all of Panem-forever.
