Seventeen-year-old April Parker wakes up in an underground facility, a shock bracelet on her wrist and a five-day countdown on the clock. Dozens of other teens share her inexplicable fate, but their unseen captors never intervene no matter how brutal conditions become. When the ruthless - and unnervingly magnetic - Marcus seizes control, April's trauma-forged instinct is to lay low. But protecting her friends drives her to bargain with the boy she should fear most - a boy whose reality fractures with every tick. Then the countdown ends, and the real terror begins. Powers ignite. Alliances shatter. And predators are born. And with a saboteur among them determined to keep the doors closed forever, escaping what comes next may be the only way to survive it.

She was a being of pure fire, a soul with so much love to house the world. But she was a broken being, but then, aren't the best of us?

Anaya awakes from a month in a coma to find herself in an empty room - an abandoned pig slaughterhouse. Filled with horror, she tries to run only to be met with a sealed envelope drenched in blood addressed to her. She opens the seal and finds a letter with the writings, "Dear Anaya, the body you are wearing used to be mine. I'm writing this letter to you for your survival." Who is this person and why did she give her her body? How will Anaya get the answers she needs when the only clue she has is a letter from a dead person? Find out in "Anaya" as we voyage on the dark paths to self-discovery. ©Alphawrites PS: This is the First Draft.
