Eyes wide, lips parted, hair disheveled and hands raised towards her. Salma took a step towards the edge. "Stop! Get down!" "Don't come near me," she warned. It was a broad, three-foot ledge but how far could she cross it to escape him? The parking lot was a long way down - a dark abyss. Salma felt movement behind her. She stepped away from the edge and turned her attention on Zayn again, but she was already too slow. He had grabbed a handful of her abaya. Salma tugged at it to set it free. "Get down!" Zayn demanded, his voice frantic. "Let me go!" "Just get down!" "No, you --" "JUST GET THE FU--" "-- back off first!" "--DOWN FROM THE LEDGE!" Salma's left heel dipped. She had not realized she had been backing away as she argued with him. Startled by the sudden vacuum, her upper body reacted by jerking forward. Her arms flailed as she lost her balance. Her heart jumped to mouth. She was going to fall to her death. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Passed down the family, the weight of a centuries-old trust was placed upon Salma Rahman when she was only two. The little Sthooriy girl from Oochath tribe has now grown up into a smart, passionate, but a very stubborn young lady who lives a happy, though sheltered life. Having picked an unexpected interest in bees, she has her eyes set on becoming an entomologist. Everything seems to work out, until an accident befalls her on her way to a camping trip, and her only companion in the desolate wild, Zayn Harris, strikes her like a bolt from blue. Old conspiracies resurface, new enemies are made. She's attacked left, right and center, and in the middle of it all, he insists on taking her on a ride to get lost.

I'm wandering around this mysterious forest looking for a new home. Tears run down my cheeks and they hit the ground as I'm running away. You might wonder where am I going? I have no idea. Why am I running away? Well let me tell you that's if you'll can listen...

"Why are you getting upset?" he asked. "Because everything is different now. Call it my lack of emotional intelligence, but I can't stand you!" "What's different?" "Everything is. You know everything. You're holding the key to the world just above my fingertips." "What?" "You know exactly what I mean." He rubbed his eyes with his hand. "If I'm doing that, it's only because I'm giving it to you. I'm not against you, and I don't know why you think I am. This was supposed to be a peace offering." "I don't want peace. I just-" I couldn't hold back my tears any longer. "I just want everything to go back to the way it was." "Before me?" I nodded. Amanda Jayne is a sports-loving, change-resisting math enthusiast. She loves "her" people more than anything in the world, and nothing can ever break their bond. Or so she thought. When her brother's best friend Viktor moves in as a foreign exchange student, he shows Amanda what loyalty doesn't mean, and that trust can be built up and broken down like sandcastles. Can they learn to coexist, or will their different points of view drive them apart? Rewritten version completed July 14, 2020

"Shh. There's a good lass. No need to panic an' wake yer friends," an unfamiliar voice breathed in her ear. During the Thinning , 80% of global human population fell ill with a fast-moving and fatal disease. This illness was incurable even by the Pill, a small capsule that each individual is born with able to perform a one-time fix that can cure almost anything. Those who survived the plague, the Immunes, were not left unscathed. Most of the survivors were left infertile, leaving the human race at a standstill. This is Loyan's world. Bands of survivors roam the New World evading dangerous creatures, bandits, and Pill hunters. Loyan belongs to one of these bands. Her journey takes her across many strange lands, home to even stranger beings and magics. It is not an easy one. Throughout her path she is kidnapped, stranded among monsters, and forced to battle for her life, as well as her friends'. ________________________________________________________________ Cover by @HopelessHeartbk This tale has the backstory of a dark science-fiction, but is saturated in fantasy and the supernatural.
