Being the daughter of the most powerful people in a prosperous country has given Octavia numerous responsibilities, burdens, and a target on her back. This target has been constantly aimed at since she was a child and is aimed at again when Octavia, along with others, is abducted by members of the Chrome Rebellion - the most notorious rebel group in the nation's history. Heading the operation is the unstable, unpredictable, loony leader of the rebellion: Shard. And Octavia becomes his personal prisoner. For the second time, Octavia's life is turned upside down. She must survive the dangers of being a hostage. Dangers range from dodging actual bullets to enduring mental manipulation. She cannot even find solace in being returned home with a ransom payment like the other hostages because Shard keeps her ransom a secret from those trying to get the hostages back. Most of Shard's own Chromies don't know what her price is, either. Few understand and know how this secret ransom works. But, when Octavia finds out, her life goes from being turned upside down to being completely shattered. ~Science Fiction ~Dystopian ~Thriller ~New Adult **Suggested audience of 15+ for gun violence, other forms of violence, and mild language. **Cover created by @WillaWindrow **This story will soon be appearing on Royal Road! Hope to see you there ^.^ -------------------- Thank you so much for checking out Shards. This was originally a short story, but ever since I finished it, I thought about expanding on it, and now I am. I plan on making this my first not-short story. Don't be afraid to leave a comment and/or a vote. I'd love to hear from you! I hope you enjoy \^.^/ Updates to Shard may be a bit wonky especially when the semester is in because classes gotta come first (as much as I wish they didn't), and I'm still in the writing process for Shards. But it will be my goal/hope to update once a week.

Poems from the mind of a teenager, written from 2022-Present. -------------- Best Rankings: #6 in "Depressing" - 12/16/2025 #1 in "Breaking Point" - 12/16/2025

A poem based off the feeling of faking an emotion when around other people.

The Second Wizarding World War is over. Voldemort has been defeated and the Death Eaters have scrambled. All the students had the option of returning to Hogwarts for an 8th year, in order to finish their studies. Draco Malfoy was deeply affected by the war. The constant comments about his parents' disappearance and his cowardice has broken Draco. But, he was determined to return to Hogwarts because he wanted to make a life for himself and not be like his father and mother, traitors and feared. Draco puts up a façade for all to see that he is not affected at all by the war and tries to hide his despair by being his old self, cold-hearted and mean. But in reality, all of his so-called "friends" have abandoned him, including his mother and father, leaving him alone. Harry Potter, The Boy Who Lived, decided to return to Hogwarts per request from Headmistress McGonagall. He convinced Hermione and Ron to return too, although Ron's family was still grieving the loss of Fred. Harry didn't know what to expect out of this year, but he sure knew one thing, he didn't want anything to do with Malfoy...but what if one conversation changed Harry's view on him? *TRIGGER WARNING: this book contains serious topics such as depression and mentions of self-harm

In the outskirts of the Tokyo Shield, some humans managed to survive...
