Alessia has spent her life trapped in the royal court of Tresbask, where power matters more than freedom. When a diplomatic ball ends with her future stolen from her, she does the unthinkable-she runs. Fleeing across the sea to the isolated kingdom of Ideo, Alessia expects only refuge. Instead, she uncovers whispers of a hidden island, secret missions, and a dragon that shouldn't exist. The deeper she digs, the more she realizes the kingdom is hiding something that could change all of Chaskitaer. With war looming on the horizon, Alessia must decide whether to remain hidden... or risk everything to expose the truth.

Aliens invaded the Earth in 2011. Their intent was not to kill, but to enslave. Eva Moore was apart of the last spaceship sent to Earth to retrieve humans for enslavement. Stripped of everything, she is labeled as a number, 93-11 and assigned to field labor. While Eva struggles to embrace the life she fears she must live, a secret rebellion is going on behind the alien government's watchful eyes. Slaves are plotting protests and riots with hopes of freeing themselves. It's risky business, and Eva wants in. Unfortunately, the leader of the rebellion, Nat Cook (number 94-2), has a strong dislike of Eva and wants no part of her. Chemistry mixes as the two begin to realize that they need each other's help if this revolution is ever going to take action.

Clashing forces, frozen hearts, and blazing souls-"The Battle Of" paints a vivid portrait of struggle, defiance, and dreams forged in the heat of conflict.

"Just because we win the war doesn't mean we don't lose everything in the process." - Joey Magnom --------- Practically everyone dreams of having superpowers. Lift a building, breathe underwater, fly. But at such a cost? Morgan would very happily shove it back to wherever it came from. In a close future, certain children and teenagers suddenly begin to exhibit their own unique superpowers. In order to contain them, keep the secret, and abuse these young adults' power for their own advantage, the government hunted them down and opened camps to train and brainwash these 'supernaturals' in cruel ways. It didn't matter if the child was five or eighteen; they'd take them and give them the same horrible treatment. Morgan was hunted and taken. Rylie was not. Morgan Carter was put in the camps and wasn't able to come out the same way she came in. She became their pet telekinetic/assassin, ready to kill and torture without hesitation and knew how to. She forgot her old life, including her name. Rylie Garner paraded as Light Glider around his city-their own personal superhero-escaping being caught with the help of his friends while trying to find his little supernatural sister, who was taken. But then, their stories began to intertwine. --------- Completed/Being Rewritten

She was untouchable.

"So can you tell me what happened?" His dark brown eyes pierced my skin, the disappointment obvious as ever. "Curiosity killed the cat." I felt ashamed. He used to think I was honorable. But I ruined that when I abandoned everyone and everything I loved, and all of my morals. All for nothing. "Curiosity killed the cat." I tried showing no emotion like I was taught when I was younger and somehow manages to do all these years. "But satisfaction brought it back." I tried hold back tears. "Ignorance is bliss." He pulled my chin up forcing me to look at him. I felt a lump in my through as his eyes turned bloodshot. I never thought I'd see him cry . "Who ever said our family lives blissfully?" He wiped a tear from his soft check. I looked up at my older brother and see abandonment in obvious in his eyes. We sat there for a minutes wallowing in despair. "We were on cloud 9." I tried to remain serious. "And we wanted to fly," I took a deep breath. "But he-," I felt the tears building up. "-He let me fall to hell." A single tear fell from my eye and he wiped it. And surprisingly he hugged me, for the first time in 13 years. And I forgot all I was taught about showing no emotion and hiding away my pain and cried in his shoulder.

Poem

"When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down 'happy'. They told me I didn't understand the assignment, and I told them they didn't understand life." ~John Lennon

He's icy cold. Opposites are supposed to attract. -------------------------------------------------- "Just reject me already." I whimpered, trying to squirm out of his tight grasp. "Never, mi amore." he grumbled. "Then let me save us the trouble. I, Melanie Winters, rej-" I was cut off by his hand smothering my mouth. "Don't you even think about finishing that sentence, or I won't hesitate to show you who you belong to." he growled, sending shivers down my spine, and not ones of fear.

" Don't even think about it," He growled. " Your mine!" I sprint out of the pack house. I didn't want to use my vampire speed cause if he had seen it then he wouldn't underestimate me. I needed him to underestimate me, cause if he didn't - " Ow!" I scream in pain. I wasn't even in the Dark Forest when he caught me. Kole tackled me to the ground, pinning both of my arms down. " Let go of me!" I scream in his ear.
