I smile, reeling my fist back. She didn't know, but my knuckles started to heat up, almost steaming, my bones hardening despite the temperature, my mind boiling. *I'm not thinking straight, just stop Sera! You might kill her!* My grin widens as I listen to my thoughts. *Oh well.* ~~~~~~~ Seraphina, a high school senior, can sure get heated up. Literally. Not knowing how she got her powers, or how to use them, she keeps it a secret, even from her twin sister. Little does she know, that not only are there others like her but, her "secret" was never truly a secret. (Thank you so much if you check out my book, and any feedback you may have will be greatly appreciated! I hope you enjoy.)

"What the hell?" I took a step closer to the mirror, staring at my reflection in disbelief. The person looking back was still me, but at the same time it wasn't. I had the same thick, dark, curly hair. The same hazel eyes. The same olive skin with a light dusting of freckles (ugh) scattered across the bridge of my nose. But my curls were now streaked with highlights. And not the subtle, golden-brown ones that sometimes appeared during the summer. No, these were an aggressive, dazzling blond that went from the roots of my hair all the way to the tips. It looked like I had spent a full day getting my hair done in some upscale salon. Never mind that I had never set foot in such a place since the day I was born. My eyes appeared somehow wider and more luminous. The colour brighter, my eyelashes darker up against them. And, when I looked closely, my pupils seemed to be slitted almost like a cat. I looked down at my body. My skinny arms-which had always refused to gain any definition no matter how hard I exercised-were lined with flat, wiry muscles. My bony shoulders were now curved and smooth. My scrawny legs were toned like a dancer. I reached down and lifted my shirt, revealing two subtle lines running vertically down my perfectly flat stomach, hinting at the rock-hard abs underneath. My whole body was rippling with strength. Like liquid steel.

Alex starts his first day of high school, but realizes something he never noticed before. He has always worn glasses and never knew why, but when he takes them off he notices he can see something no one else can...

It was only a supposed to be fun night at a sixteenth birthday party- yet everything changed so fast. But was that for the better or for the worse? Lilah is nothing too special, just an ordinary girl, with ordinary friends- or so she thought. She and four others are pulled into a world where everything looks much the same, yet everything felt so much more different. Limits and patience will be tested. Their strengths will be bent until they snap and their hearts will be ripped and torn until they break. Will they be strong enough to survive? Or will they give up- letting darkness win.
