"Light up my darkness," he murmured against her bare flesh. His fingers trailed up her arm, leaving a blazing fire beneath them. His lips pressed softly against her shoulder and her eyes fluttered closed, accepting his touch. "Let go and I'll take away all of the pain." She desperately wanted to free herself from the torture of the heat, of the shift, of the sadness, but she pushed his firm chest away from her. She yearned to finally fulfill her place among the divine. She desired to guide and protect the species. She wished to eliminate the Challengers. The longer she endured the pain, the more power she would attain to help her fulfill her responsibilities. To the men who watched her ascend, it looked as if she was interacting with thin air, but she knew he was there with her. She smiled softly at him, caressing his cheek. "My Darkness, let the pain fester within me. I crave it." * The Betrayal is a part of The Marking Trilogy and cannot be read as a stand-alone book.

Sage Killian's life was complicated in the simplest terms. There was something about him that his father now hated, his mother couldn't decide how she wanted to treat him, and his school life generally wasn't much better. It was easy to tell but hard to understand, especially for a kid whose life begins to twist and turn outside of the constraints of humanity. Humans are often the most inhumane of them all... In general, I've been updating about once to twice a week. There are no specific days I will because writing has its ebbs and flows. This is MATURE meaning there will be CHILD ABUSE; primarily right now. Expect there to be future BULLYING... And future BXB action, though it may or may not relate to the main character ;3 This is also a SUPERNATURAL book, though it doesn't seem that way right now. I DON"T KNOW WHAT GENRE TO PUT IT UNDER---- SUGGESTIONS? I want to note that I do not own any of these pictures, m'kay?

Important Note: This is an old version. A new version to fit my series, Final Reckoning will be uploaded, but still enjoy this one :D Thomas Haynes, a 17 year old teenager in his last year of high school. He's the average teenager. You know, the agile yet non athletic guy, and this is his last time moving. When he was younger as a child, his family moved a lot because of money troubles, mostly from the way the economy is right now. And the economy is pretty screwed up at the moment. Even though he may be the average teenager, he has a secret about himself. He's gay, I know. Pretty shocking, right? How will he survive school staying in the closet? Especially when he meets a guy who he likes, who turns out to be a jock, but not a typical jock as everybody thinks, yet a jock who has their own secrets. He's going to know that being with a Jock isn't so easy as he figuratively expected. A little fame, a little recognition, that alone isn't going to help Thomas with his grade twelve year as a new student. Being With A Jock, what possibilities could there be?
