Reece Bremer goes through life with a scowl and cold personality. Jessica Andrews goes through life with a glowing smile and positive outlook. Reece looks at life with dull, judgmental eyes that make him hate the world and the people living in it. Jessica, well... She looks at life through a camera. Literally. They're polar opposites, and that's what sparks Reece's immediate hate for Jessica the moment they meet. All he sees is a girl with the best life, put in the category of those who get everything handed to them on a silver platter. But who says Jessica's life is like that? Just like a photograph, there's more to the story than what you see. Stumbling across one of Jessica's hidden portfolio might reveal that her happiness isn't all that true. Behind that smile and each picture she takes, holds a thousand words of a very big secret - one that Reece is determined to find out. And who knows? It just might change everything between them. cover by dysanic || 2015 watty's winner for talk of the town ||

Running from the things that broke them, two children ran into the Forest of Secrets, not knowing that they would find. Can these two children make it out alive? Will their hearts ever heal from the pain they've had to endure? And can they rise above their past while making their future brighter? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "You want to run, when you know that there's something here that is trying to control forest? You know we should help the wild stay just that, wild!" I say, trying to make him understand that we need to stay here and help protect the forests secrets. The enemy can't find out, it would destroy the forest that I now thought of as home. "What can we do we're just two kids in way over our heads! We cant do ANYTHING!" He replies, anguish in his voice. I could see it in his eyes that he truly wanted to help but he was too afraid to try, he didn't want to break any further, he didn't want me to break (again). ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ AN: Please comment and criticize. If you don't like the story please tell me why in the comments because I want to become a better writer. Thanks.

Jess Knight likes her freedom. Despite being in jail for about sixty-five percent of her teenage life, she is in complete control. But there's only one problem: she doesn't know her purpose. One day, everything changes. Her reputation as the youngest and most connected solo street criminal gets her noticed by the illustrious crime society known as the Maryland Mafia, who offer her the deal she literally can't refuse. That same day, Jess is arrested by a junior officer at the downtown precinct. Something about Nick Bronson transforms the way Jess sees the world and she can't let him go. But is dating a cop the wisest move for a teenage criminal about to commit the dirtiest crime there is? One thing's for sure; life as a jailbird isn't always as free as it seems. AUTHOR'S NOTE: This story is one I've been writing on and off between the Rouge series, and I wanted to share it with you guys. It's a bit rough and still not completely finished, but I felt guilty for delaying Consuming Fire. What's it really about? Think Veronica Mars and the PCH Bikers, only instead of following the law, Jess breaks it. Cover by Isabella Modra
