The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist. Sequel to "Splintered" ~oOo~ This is a reverse harem fanfic based on C.L. Stone's Ghost Bird and Scarab Beetle series. Be warned, I don't do trigger warnings on individual chapters and this is a Ghost Bird story: there is physical and emotional abuse, implied and overt; there are fourteen men interested in one woman (#whychoose) and sometimes each other; and the language used is appropriate for mature readers only.

Your prospects are limited when you don't exist, but Sang Sorenson has been getting by as a cashier in a grocery store after dropping out of high school. Most days, she's just glad to have some independence, but she's been drifting through her life for two years, too alone to realize she's lonely. Then, late one Sunday night someone comes through her line with more apple pie than one man should be able to eat. The next day, she finds herself helping a young girl with a ...delicate purchase that the girl's older brother and his friend can't handle. And after a close call at home, she seeks help at a diner that recently opened down the street. It's been over a year since the Blackbourne team shattered into three separate teams, and they've all been dealing with the aftermath of a broken family. Though the new Lee and Taylor teams have done well for themselves, things just aren't the same. Then Sean stops by a little mom-and-pop grocery store after a long shift and discovers their bakery section. Kota and Nate take Jess bra shopping, and the cutest girl they've ever seen intervenes when they are less than helpful. And Luke finally meets someone who values pancakes as much as he does...possibly more. And it's barely even Tuesday. ~oOo~ This is a reverse harem fanfic based on C.L. Stone's Ghost Bird series.

Sang has always existed on the edges. With no friends to call her own and an older, popular sister who keeps her distance, she has learned to stay small. Quiet, clumsy, and painfully shy, she slips through the halls unnoticed. Some call her an outsider. Most don't notice her at all. Hidden behind oversized glasses and baggy clothes, she is used to being invisible and she prefers it that way. Until the day someone finally notices her. The Blackbourne team never intended to get close, but they find themselves drawn to the quiet girl everyone else overlooks. Their mission at Ashley Waters comes first, yet Sang's past begins to intertwine with it in ways none of them expect. When things escalate, the Toma team is brought in, and it quickly becomes clear that both teams are falling for her. As the lines between duty and emotion begin to blur, Sang is faced with something she has never had before: people who choose her. And for the first time, she begins to learn what it truly means to be loved, and to belong. ┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈ Fanfiction of C.L. Stone's Ghost Bird and Scarab Beetle series.

Eventually things come to a head that puts her in the Academy's sights, but the struggles only keep piling up as she is shuffled around, wondering when or even if she will ever find somewhere she feels like is home.

I've hidden behind the lens of a camera since I was seven years old. My Mom dying turned me into a shell of a person; I stopped speaking, I hid behind fake glasses, my hair and baggy clothes. I let my father move us around, never asking questions when he would disappear for days at a time from the time I turned thirteen. The only thing that my father did that ever got the rare smile from me was when my birthday came around and he brought me a camera every year. The camera was my security blanket, another eye that I used to see things through, another way to observe even as I pressed that shutter button. Moving to a new town, a new school never fazed me; I never purposely drew attention to myself. I hid behind the camera, like I always did and that was when I started capturing them just like they started capturing my heart. *This is a work of Fanfiction based on C.L Stones Ghost Bird and Scarab Beetle Series'. I do not own The Academy or any of the Characters. They are all C.L's.* THIS STORY WILL CONTAIN MATURE CONTENT! I WILL PUT A AUTHORS NOTE WHERE TO EXPECT IT.

At the mention of him choosing me, anger flared up and I scoffed indignantly. "You chose me? You didn't. You blackmailed me to be with you!" Kingston's eyes turned hard and he warned, "By drinking the potion, you have agreed to be my chosen." I scoffed and glared up at him, "Because you threatened to kill my brother. He's fifteen! Would you really do that? Kill a fifteen year old to get what you want?" I demanded and Kingston simply looked at me with a passive expression. Highest Ranking: #4 in Werewolf 5/3/2016
