**** Unknown P.O.V. There she was. Stella, the little rascal, the timid little girl I've fallen in love with, has grown into a beauty. She was always beautiful but now she's the loveliest being I could ever imagine. She had been too young then. She still is. We were four years apart. It has been six years; six aching long years without her in my life. And I'm getting her back in it. I'll make sure of it. Her saying, "Einstein, I hope you'd meet me halfway", just gave me a mission; a goal that I'm willing to accomplish. I'd do anything for her. Anything. **** It took years and hard work to be able to stand where they are now. They just need one more thing to complete their lives. They need each other. They need to meet each other halfway...

The city of Harborne is one with a troubled past. Its influence once wiped out an entire nation and, in return, it brought the wrath of the Dragon-Kin, of Bron and the Viper, down upon its walls. For over a year it survived, protected by the subtleties of its location, by the ocean and the rain, until its fate was eventually sealed by one of its own. In this world where everyone is born with magic, Edward Montgomery, who somehow had not a scrap of power within him, turned his heart to darkness and let the serpents through Harborne’s battered gates. And though this happened seven generations ago, there is still a saying in the city that survived Bron: “No magic leads to dark magic”. Which wasn’t a problem when Kiara was a child and could disappear from sight with nothing more than a simple thought. Only now she’s inexplicably crippled, with no magic to speak of, and the horizons beckon. She’s headed East, to the Mirror City, because they say a man can buy anything there, anything at all. And anything is exactly what she’d give to get her magic back. She’s willing to face dragons for it. Lucky, really, since Ben is tired of this power he cannot control, and he’s headed East too, to see if he can’t just sell his. **** Watty Award Shortlisted (Most Imaginative Setting) 2012 *****

***I WROTE THIS WHEN I WAS 13 PEOPLE, IT IS COMPLETELY UNEDITED AND SUCKS. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED*** After John Murphy is banished from the camp of The 100, he roams the forest, more scared than he has ever been. Not that he'd ever show it. What was out there? Who were the grounders that Clark, Octavia, Finn, Monty, and Jasper talking about? What were they capable of? Of course, no one would ever expect that there was a small amount of civilization still existing, and they happen to be slowly repopulating about fifty miles from the mountain. So what will happen when Murphy is nearly killed by some of the less humane grounders, and is saved by a young girl named Eve that has lived on the earth her entire life? Unfortunately for Eve, the worst thing that's happening in this new world is not losing lives, it's losing yourself. Eve is nearly gone, simply a walking shell, until she finds a boy that has been living in space for all his life. Can he help her? And more importantly, can she find the strength to let him into the deepest and darkest part of her mind? Neither of them have realized it yet, but in this world full of pieces that don't quite fit and blurred scenes that no one knows the end of, they are each other's clarity. _____________________________ (Preview/Copyright statement in first post.)
