When she gets thrown out on to the abandoned streets of what used to be America, she meets Sebastian, who is handsome,kind, and mysterious. On a quest to save the world she meets betrayal, mystery, and adventure. *** Pain shoots across my stomach. I look down and see blood spill out. I grasp my stomach. Sebastian still stands over the man with the eye patch. "Um Sebastian," I squeak. I start to fall, but he catches me before I hit the ground. He sets me down gently and takes off his jacket pressing the cloth to my abdomen. "You're going to be fine," he says picking me up, and he starts speed walking the direction we were heading. I hear him say something, but I don't know what. Everything is getting dim, and my ears seem like they're underwater because everything sounds muffled. The world gets darker and darker until it finally goes black. *** Authors Note- I hope my story brightens up your day, and gives you something to enjoy. Thank you for reading. Sorry if there are some mistakes this is the first draft. I hope you enjoy.

"People in this town are more bound to fairies than they want to admit..." These words have been haunting Ferry for the past six years. Ferry Donovan is a sixteen human-years-old fairy with an interesting life. During the day, he behaves like an ordinary youngster, spending time with his friends, doing his chores, and dreaming about a special girl. At night, he must train to become the Saviour of Akna, his fairy homeland. Everything changes when a boy comes to town, saying he is the lost son of Ferry's human-parents. Now, Ferry and his friends - both human and fae - must find out who this boy is and what are his intentions. Meanwhile, the town of Goodharts is preparing to enter the seventh year since the last vanishing into the Shepherd's Forest. But this is not the strangest of the things occurring. Over the years, Ferry has learned that the Pride Mansion hides many secrets, and they are all connected to an odd reunion of rich people called The Quest. Yet all these become somehow less important compared to Ferry's biggest concern - the girl he likes might not feel the same.

Like millions of others around the world, Karl Huber is crazy about Olympus, the new full-cyber-suit, multi-player, online virtual reality game-even though his father hates it. When Mr. Huber forbids his son to play the game in his house any more, Karl's jealous twin Jacob seizes the opportunity to tempt his brother to run away. With trails leading in all directions, Karl could be anywhere on earth. The only way to find him is to look for him within Olympus, where sinister forces are using high technology to build a world too fascinating for children to resist and too profitable for adults to ignore. Finding Karl in the game turns out to be the easy part. But in this computer-generated version of ancient mythical Greece, nothing is what it seems to be. The wealthy, the powerful, and the clever hold the destinies of all other players in a web of treachery and manipulation.
