Texas born twins Cilia and Iris Hunter were brought to Brooklyn, New York and given up for adoption at the age of one. But their foster mother Ms. Pat never cared about them and only adopted the twins for a check from the government, leaving Cilia, the more feisty and braver twin to raise her sister, Iris. At ten the girls meet a boy named Allele Coleman, just as snappish and street savvy as Cilia. The girls soon learn that Allele too also goes through trouble in his own home. So the three quickly decide to run away together where they live on the streets for years with mostly Cilia and Allele protecting Iris, until an incident causes Cilia to get incarcerated, separating her from the only family she ever knew. When she comes out several years later and finds Iris and Allele, it's no surprise that she finds out the weaker of the group, Iris is sick. She's blind. Iris is told the only way her vision can be restored is through surgery. With a newfound attitude from prison, Cilia will stop at nothing to help her sister. Cilia and Allele go on a mission that requires $150,000 dollars in order to restore...her eyes. Cover by: @dragology

MAZE CHAPTER 1 He thrust my body into the dresser, the vase shattered on the squeaky cold wooden floor. "You fucking bitch", he yelled charging towards me. His fist smashed into my face, my knees gave out. Blood gushed from my right eye. Instantly I doubled over. The room was spinning. "Fuck Mari find your balance, find your balance" my inner voice urged. I could hear him rustling through his clothes on the hotel chair beside the window which were covered by black drapes. "Find something!", my conscience screamed. "Its either him or you". The rustling stopped. I looked up at him through my left eye. The river of blood flowing from the open wound, blinding me while I searched vigorously for a weapon. "You fucking bitches" he grinned in his tailored Tom Ford suite. His crisp collard white shirt was ruffled with creases. "This is why I don't trust you I just fuck you". He stepped towards me, his face now distorted with an evil grimace and piercing eyes looking like death. His 7-foot body hovered over me like a predator, eager to end its prey. His long slender fingers folded around the back of my neck sending a wave of pain down my spine into my core. Fear surged through my body. His fingers climbed into my hair, strangling a fistful of my soft delicate curls. He yanked my head back. My eyes met his sinister stare, he grunted with pleasure at my subordinate position. I could see a silver gleam flash from the corner of my eye. The sound of my heart thumped rapidly echoing through my ears. The long silver knife, crooked with a sharp point that could cut through a thick sheet of metal, moved towards my neck with a vengeance. chapter 2 set to be released on July 17th 2016 Don't forget to vote, comment and share All rights are reserved to me.

A young girl who didn't have it as easy growing up was given the memorable name of Vivian "Envyi" Prescott. Grew up believing that your education was the only way to chase your dreams. Not only was that false, but there was always many paths you could take in this world. But being one of those non-rule breaking adults in this world sure wasn't fit for her. Vivian had caught highlights of the fast world that consisted of lucre, eye-candy chicks, luxury cars, iced-out jewelry and the mink coats to sport in the winter time. All of this sparked something in her mind. Changing her from the teenage girl with dreams to go off to college and become a doctor like her momma told her to. This versatility occurred once she found herself knocked up by Nasir, a drug-distributer known as Nas. After this, everything changed for her. She gained knowledge that college wasn't gon' get her what she wanted in life fast enough. Things had to change before she found herself standing in the long line of the unemployment office just to get a monthly check from the state. She refused to live that way and have her unborn child suffer when they came into this world. She switched into her grind mode, to where she become very pivotal about how she made her money and where she made it at. This ignited the start of something great for her, doing something that you rarely saw any female doing. She was becoming one of the coldest female hustler's that the people of United States of America had ever seen. Copyright©2016 by BELLABANKS

1996 just before the clock struck twelve that's when I officially met Rakim. And we entered the new year together. 1997 was a special year, for both me and Rakim. Everybody knew Rocky, but never bothered to know Rakim. 1997 was a year of heartbreak and hardships. I told my deepest secrets and my biggest fears. So he did the same. 1997 was the year of big mistakes, but I can never make myself regret them. That's only cause I spent 365 days with him. 1997 was the year I gave my heart and my soul to Rakim. And I knew he cherished every moment of it. Still, somewhere in the darkness something came to the light. 1997 was the year I let go of him and entered 1998 with new beginnings and without Rakim.
