Nikki Fuller has always known she was different. At twenty years old, she's the oldest Fuller daughter, feisty, outgoing, and never one to back down from a fight. But Nikki also sees things other people don't-shadows that move wrong, danger before it strikes, and monsters hiding behind human faces. Her family thinks she's just sensitive. Nikki knows better. When a family trip turns into a nightmare, Nikki's world collides with the Gecko brothers-Seth, the sharp-tongued bank robber with a dangerous smile, and Richie, the violent wildcard with darkness in his eyes. They take her family hostage, dragging them toward Mexico with the FBI and Texas Rangers closing in behind them. But Nikki doesn't fear the brothers the way she should. And the Geckos don't know what to do with a girl who talks back, sees through their masks, and somehow gets under their skin. By the time they reach the bar where they're supposed to meet safety, everything changes. The place is crawling with something ancient, hungry, and deadly. Vampires are real, blood will spill, and survival becomes the only rule that matters. But in the middle of the chaos, Seth and Richie find themselves becoming dangerously protective of Nikki. And Nikki may be the one thing the monsters should have feared all along.

Rayne's last memory should have been terrifying. Dramatic. Meaningful. Instead, it was stupid. One minute, she was walking outside to check the mail. The next, she tripped over her little brother's toy car, hit the ground wrong, and everything went black. Death was supposed to be the end. But when Rayne opens her eyes again, nothing feels right. The world around her is familiar and strange all at once, filled with secrets, shadows, and faces she somehow knows she should recognize. She doesn't know why she's here. She doesn't know what brought her back. And she definitely doesn't know why death feels like only the beginning.

My name is Angel, and Cayden has been my best friend for as long as I can remember. When strange things started happening to him-things neither of us could explain-I did everything I could to help. Cayden was scared, confused, and slowly discovering that his life was nothing like he thought it was. People began watching him, secrets started coming to light, and danger seemed to follow us everywhere. But no matter how frightening things became, I refused to abandon him. Cayden has always been there for me, and now it is my turn to stand beside him. I will not leave his side until we discover the truth about what he is and why this is happening to him. What I did not know was that helping Cayden uncover the truth would lead me into a hidden world of werewolves, danger, and secrets-and straight to a mate of my own. Some bonds are stronger than friendship. Some are written in blood. And some are destined by the moon.

This story will not follow the show fully if at all. Same Character's but not the cannon. My name is Neko. I'm seventeen years old, fixing to turn eighteen, and apparently helping a friend is enough to get you thrown in the Skybox. I knew about Octavia Blake before she was caught. I helped her when I could, knowing exactly what would happen if the people on the Ark discovered what I was doing. Eventually, they did. Now I'm a prisoner. Then everything changes. Instead of waiting around to find out whether I'll be floated when I turn eighteen, Octavia, me, and ninety-eight other teenage prisoners are shoved onto a dropship and told we're being sent to Earth. The planet everyone says is still deadly. Great. What the Ark doesn't know is that I have something none of their rules, guards, or council members could ever control. Magic. Unlimited magic. It doesn't drain me. It doesn't weaken me. And there isn't much I can't do with it. So while everyone else is worrying about radiation, food, shelter, and whatever might be waiting for us in the woods, I'm more interested in figuring out just how badly history is about to get screwed up now that I'm involved. Then I meet Lincoln. A Grounder who should be my enemy, but somehow becomes anything but. From the moment our paths cross, something pulls us together, and I quickly realize I'm not about to let his original fate happen. But Lincoln isn't the only one who manages to find his way into my heart. Because eventually Prince Roan of Azgeda walks into my life. And apparently surviving Earth, dealing with Grounders, keeping the delinquents alive, and hiding unlimited magic wasn't complicated enough. Now I have two men, two very different worlds colliding around me, and enough power to change every piece of the story. Earth was supposed to be humanity's second chance. They just didn't know they were sending down a witch.

My name is Massa, I'm eighteen years old, and I already know exactly how the future is supposed to go. Which is pretty damn useful when you're moving to a little town called Mystic Falls. I know about the vampires. I know about the witches. I know about the werewolves, the Originals, the betrayals, the deaths, and every disaster waiting just around the corner. There's only one problem. I was never part of the story. I'm a witch, but not the kind Mystic Falls is used to. I don't need a spell book, candles, herbs, grimoires, or hours of chanting to use my magic. If I want something done, I make it happen. And now that I'm here, the future I know is already beginning to change. People who were supposed to die might live. Relationships that were supposed to happen might never begin. Enemies are noticing me far sooner than I expected, and some very dangerous men are becoming a little too interested in the mysterious new girl who seems to know things she shouldn't. The future used to be predictable. Then I stepped into Mystic Falls. Now vampires are watching me, witches are questioning me, fate is losing its damn mind, and somewhere along the way I manage to collect more than one love interest. Good thing I've never been afraid of falling. The real question is... Who can I trust to catch me?

They always said Elena Michaels was the only one. The only female bitten wolf to survive. The only woman strong enough to live through the pain, the fever, the breaking and rebuilding of bones. They were wrong. Because I survived too. I was nineteen years old with blood-red hair, blue eyes, and a wolf inside me that refused to die. And when the Pack found out I existed, everything changed. This story will not follow the TV show Bitten.

Mystery Gang Headquarters was supposed to be safe. After surviving Bill, Marcellus, hunters, old magic, and more chaos than one house should ever hold, Lena Stackhouse finally has something worth protecting: a living, breathing home filled with the people she refuses to lose. Jason. Sookie. Alcide. Eric. Pam. Godric. Warlow. Sam. Lafayette. Their pictures hang on the memory wall in black gothic frames, sealed by one rule that matters more than all the rest: **Nobody on the wall gets left behind.** But Marcellus was only the mouthpiece. The real threat is older. Hungrier. Smarter. **Bellerose. The First Hunger.** It feeds through fear, grief, want, and power. It looks for cracks in the heart and turns them into doors. And now it has its eyes on Lena-not because she is weak, but because she is the one thing it cannot easily break. A lock. With Alcide as her warm anchor, Eric as her cool shadow, and her strange supernatural family standing between her and the darkness, Lena will have to learn just how deep her gold magic goes. Because the First Hunger is coming. And this time, Mystery Gang Headquarters is not just a home. It is a fortress.

Lena Stackhouse has never been normal-and in Bon Temps, normal never lasts long anyway. At nineteen, she is the youngest Stackhouse sister, with long blood-red hair, bright blue eyes, tattoos, and a nose piercing that matches her fearless attitude. Like her sister Sookie, Lena can hear people's thoughts, but her gift goes even deeper: she can read vampires too. Most people would be terrified of the supernatural world hiding in plain sight, but Lena isn't most people. Vampires, werewolves, danger, blood, and secrets don't scare her. If anything, they pull her closer. When Eric Northman, the powerful Viking vampire sheriff, takes an interest in her rare ability, Lena finds herself caught in a world of vampire politics, ancient enemies, and deadly attraction. But Eric isn't the only supernatural man drawn to her. Alcide Herveaux, a strong and loyal werewolf, sees the fire in Lena and refuses to let the darkness around her consume her. Torn between a dangerous vampire and a protective werewolf, Lena must learn what her powers truly mean-and why everyone seems to want the youngest Stackhouse for themselves. In a town full of monsters, Lena might just prove she's the most dangerous one of all.

My name is Lilith. I'm nineteen years old, five months pregnant, and running from everything I used to know. Santa Carla was supposed to be a fresh start. A place where no one knew my name, no one knew my past, and no one could drag me back into the drama I left behind. With nothing but a wallet full of cash I took from the bank before disappearing, I thought I could keep my head down and build a new life for me and my baby. Then I caught the attention of four boys who owned the night. The Lost Boys were dangerous, wild, and impossible to ignore. I should have stayed away from them. I should have listened to every warning sign screaming at me to run. But from the moment they saw me, everything changed. They became protective. Possessive. Obsessed with keeping me safe. And in Santa Carla, where the boardwalk hides monsters, secrets, and blood under the neon lights, I'm starting to realize my past may not be the only thing I should be afraid of. Because the Lost Boys don't let go of what they claim. And they've decided I'm theirs.

My name is Nova Stackhouse and even though Sookie is my twin sister, we look nothing alike. She can read minds. I can see the future, travel between worlds, and command more power than anyone in Bon Temps has ever imagined. When one of my visions shows Eric Northman and Godric dying, I refuse to let fate take them. I grab them both and use my magic to pull us into another universe before their deaths can happen. The world we land in is already falling apart. The dead walk. Cities have burned. Survivors are scattered, desperate, and willing to do anything to stay alive. But my magic changes more than our location. It changes Eric and Godric too, allowing them to walk freely in the daylight without burning. For the first time in centuries, they can stand beneath the sun. With nowhere safe to go, I use my powers to make a brand-new RV appear-fully stocked, protected, and large enough for the three of us to call home. It becomes our shelter as we travel through the apocalypse and meet a group of survivors fighting to stay alive. Walkers may hunt the living, but they are about to learn that vampires are not helpless prey. I saved Eric and Godric from death. Now, with two ancient vampires at my side, a magical RV carrying us through the ruins, and my visions warning me that something worse is coming, I have to protect the people I choose and survive a world that was never meant for us.
