"Come back!" She screamed. But the voices only left her farther behind. For months she's waited, never giving up the thought that they'd come for her. Others had related to her the tales of how they'd come to be. She knew, deep down, that they would find her. But when they do chance upon her one night, her hopes are shattered. They run right passed her, conversing amongst themselves. She watched them go, knowing they must not have seen her. Disappointment replaces hope, but the longing to be free still persists.

[Book 1 of the Coldblooded Compassion series] "Game on." She didn't ask for this. She didn't want to be pulled into the cruel, evil shadows of the world. She tried to be a good person to both her mother and younger brother. She even stifled angry thoughts of her father, the heartless man who abandoned the family when she was only four years old. Her only goal was to make people smile. She didn't deserve to be dragged into the dark. But life has never been very fair. He didn't mean to involve her in his dark world. In fact, he didn't know she existed until he found her being treated as a guinea pig. He thought rescuing her would reverse the death that lingered over her. He tried to prevent her from getting trapped deeper within the pit of criminals and catastrophes biting at her heels. But heroes can't always save the day. Now, the turtles and she are sinking further into the quicksand of this mystery. Every answer seems to have another impossible question. Every solution has another negative side effect. Will the turtles ever be able to dig themselves out of their graves? Theme song: Vapor - 5 Seconds of Summer [Story completed on July 17th, 2016]
