Set after the postwar collapse of an interstellar empire, a young orphan girl embarks on a quest for violent retribution. Six years old when her mother was killed, Buttercup endured an unforgiving adolescence on the streets of her home city. She's scraped by ever since, always searching for the man responsible, knowing one day she'll find him.

"Rule number one," He whispers, pulling back to look me right in the eye, "Never let your guard down." He flashes me a cunning smirk as I stare at him, stunned at what he had just done. Only, he makes a mistake of turning to see what everyone else ahead of the bleachers is doing. I smirk and take a step back forcefully. Just as he turns his head back to face me, I swing my arm at his face. "No. That's rule two," I snap, "Rule one is never turn your back to your opponent." Faye Williams is not the type of girl who would call for the attention. However, she calls things as she sees them. Faye's not afraid to use her fist, for that's all she's ever known. Some call her a good girl while others call her a rebel. What most people don't know is that she's witnessed things that not many people get to witness. With an unstable mother who blames her for a needed divorce, she's seen, heard, and knows plenty. It's not until she moves to Miami, Florida with her dad, that trouble arises. Let's just say that the odds are not in her favor, especially when it comes to that notorious 'bad kid' Travis. Yet, for some reason, she feels that fixing the bad boy will mend herself. When a powerful gang leader, a notorious bad boy, vengeful mother, and two faced acquaintances enter the equation, Faye knows there's nothing to save her now. *Copyright © 2013* All rights reserved.

Of all those years my family have hidden inside the shadows. I thought of those times Valentine have hidden me on the Fairchild's basement, why? What is the purpose on being alive if everytime I breath, I was hidden. But as I grew up, I realized why. It was because I was an experiment, I was hidden for my power. I was too powerful for the real world. And then I knew who I was. I am the first of the most powerful race of Nephilims. I had blood of different beings. I can move faster than the light. I have the strength of the children of the moon. I have the cunningness and the senses of the vampires. I have the beauty of a faerie. I can use magic of the warlock. The innocence of a mundane. But above all, there was a quality of mine that I loved the most. I will never die. Everything I have, my daughter have inherited. I was binded to my husband before so that he will have what I claim. I think, that it's time for us to show ourselves. Erchómaste. We Are Coming. ____ I hope you like it! I know it's not the best summary, but please try to read it! Axela x
