A secret with unforseen consequences. Mai harbours a secret as well, hidden so well, even she doesn't know about it until it is nearly too late.

The idea sounded crazy in my head. I'd never done anything risky before. My life until now had focused on three things; my future, family, and food. I don't try new things, I don't go to new places, I stick to what I know. I peered back up at the asteroid through my curtains. My future had changed because of that. Now, I had none to focus on, let alone look forward to. Mom left us, Dad spends the days who-knows-where, and Nadine's off living her life doing who-knows-what. Even the food wasn't worth it anymore, as much as I wanted it to. Maybe it's time I did something crazy.

"I don't do bad things for bad reasons. "I don't do bad things for good reasons. "I do bad things because there are bad things to be done." The universe requires balance in all aspects of life and death. Good and evil must war constantly, neither side able to gain traction over the other. For every life given, one must be taken away. In that way, neutrality reigns, and the Earth spins round and round without fear of its revolutions coming to an abrupt halt. Lucky knows this, has been aware of it since the dawn of time. This need for balance thrums through their bones, resonates with their heart - or the facsimile of one they carry around in an otherwise vacant chest. But Lucky also knows just what it costs the mortal world to maintain this balance - and they know that not everyone agrees it's worth the pain. There's a war on the horizon - a battle that may tear the very world they've sworn to protect into bloody ribbons, leaving nothing behind but ravaged cities and burning corpses. Lucky doesn't want this fight, doesn't want this hell, but just as surely as they can feel it coming, they can feel the walls closing around them, narrowing down their choices until the only path left to take is one of chaos and Armageddon. || absolutely amazing cover by @Watercolors75 ||

Boy meets girl, girl falls in love, blah-blah-blah. Let me be clear with you from the beginning. This is not that kind of story. My name is Cait, and I live in the great city of New York. Okay, so maybe I've only lived here for a week and a half, sue me, but what else am I supposed to say? This strange and beautiful metropolis is my new home, or the closest thing I've probably ever had to a home, and I intend to make the most of my time here. I'm 20 years old, an ex-sophomore in college, and I'm really good at math. Obviously, I've never filled out any kind of bio before. This is my story. It's the kind of story where reality bites, love isn't always what it seems, and maybe - just maybe - everything won't suck in the end. #43 in General Fiction - 12/02/2016 #44 in Teen Fiction - 6/11/2017 _____ © Jandra Sutton. 2016.
