"Things will never be the same again." Gneiss Underwood never thought that he could have a shot of a normal life. Growing up in an environment where everything defied sanity, guns and loneliness were his normal companions, if not danger and Death himself. An UnGifted teenager whose soul had been sold to the devil, he rejected the life that the world had offered to pursue the shadows of his past. But when he discovered that love did exist, no matter how unlikely it was, and he became a victim of that very emotion, it was too late for him. Why? Because he is 01. He is an assassin. And he won't let her die. [Book 2 of the Black Equation series - Stand alone] [Watty Awards 2012 Finalist] [Started December 2011. Undergoing edits]

⁑⁑⁑ EDITING AS OF MARCH 2019 ⁑⁑⁑ [Winner in the 2012 Watty Awards for Undiscovered Gems]: ★ Read at your own risk. There are major grammar issues, plot holes and probably some really annoying stuff in this book. If you want to read a story written when I was 12, then please proceed. Major editing in process. ★ Eighteen year old Victoria Green has been spending her life trying to mend everyone else's broken pieces back together - but what happens when they begin not to fit? A cheating , absent father with a much younger mistress, a distraught mother who cannot possibly take care of her emotionally damaged self and an unfamiliar new city is more than broken, it's a freaking disaster. A spur-of-the moment decision to pack up and move halfway across England to the small, quaint town of Doncaster in seek of a new life does nothing to piece back together the broken Green household. In an attempt to escape the Hell of her reality, Victoria begins to live vicariously through the older instant messaging website AIM. I mean, no one goes on that thing anymore, right? Wrong. When she meets someone under the name Singingforlife24, she begins to develop dangerous and unsolicited feelings for the person behind the strange, yet soothing username. Conversations that lasted a few short messages turns into an everyday occurrence and before she knows it, Victoria is falling hard for the stranger behind the username. Meeting the town's a**hole wasn't in her plans - nothing was. But as they always say - there's a thin line between love and hatred (of a jerk, that is).
