[Revenge Trilogy #1] "The thing she feared the most... became her weapon of choice." Aug. 04, 2025

In a reality far too similar to our own, is a boy named Demetrius. He's fairly average for a 14-year-old boy in middle school. He's an anime dweeb with a fierce love for My Hero Academia, a real Deku in the flesh. He's shy, he's kind and can be kind of a pushover at times. But there's something different about this boy, this Demetrius. It isn't his hair, his eyes, his clothes or even his anime nerdy-ness. No. The thing that sets Demetrius Willams apart from the rest, the thing that makes him different from the others... This is a story about love, about hate, about denial and acceptance. About loyalty and friendship, about betrayal and heartache. This is a story on how you can survive, thrive even! On how you can break into a thousand shattered pieces. On how you can crash and burn with the world as you knew it blowing away like smoldering ashes on the winds of change. This is a story you- no, everyone THE WORLD needs to hear. This, is Demetrius. Pictures aren't mine and neither is mha or converses or anything else that would get me sued, idk if I should say something more about that orrrrrrrrrrrr... The story is mine and this is my first time writing a story for the public! Please tell me how I'm doing, POLITELY.

Sierra was nine years old and was living with two abusive parents who wished that she had never been born. To them, Sierra was a mistake, a malady that was wasting their money by living. Both parents were severe alcoholics, use drugs more than they took their daily supplements, and had been more irresponsible than a toddler in raising their nine year old daughter. All Sierra wanted in life was for someone to love her, to hold her, and tell her that she matters. Unable to cope with what happens to her on a daily basis at home, Sierra goes to extreme measures to escape the realities of the real world. She heads out onto the streets as a runaway to avoid getting beaten by her parents, and in doing so, gets abducted by a new stranger who has a sick plan of forcing people to his will. She meets a group of kids living in an old abandoned mansion in the middle of nowhere where this man has stashed them all. These kids, all abused and alone like her, take her in, and Sierra must learn how to accept people into her life and not be afraid as she once was. Will things turn out for better or for worse with Sierra, and will she ever be able to look at herself without seeing the pathetic girl she viewed herself as before she ran away?

I was terrified to dive headfirst. I was different to most of the people here, but I had to do it, or else I would fail and drown. All I needed to remind myself was to always swim up and breathe. *I do not own the original illustration that I used for the cover. All credits go to the owner.

I get home, sprint past my 'loving Mum' up the stairs and into my sanctuary. I slam the door shut, dive on my bed, put on music and open my new notepad to the first page. I get out a pen and my walls crumble down. "There's no proper way to say you feel stressed, trust me I know, and there is nothing I can do about it. On the inside I'm falling quickly and slowly at the same time and I feel so helpless but then all of a sudden I feel better and happy. I could tell them but I kinda don't want to. That means that I'm doing it this way. I'm writing down all my feelings and just saying about it to this diary should make it better." I get a message to look out my window. It's from Harry. Slowly I open the window and see him waving at me. Curious, I make my way out of my bedroom via the tree next to my house. I get to the bottom and jump only to fall onto the ground. I hear a chuckle as a pair of arms wrap around me and I hear him say, "Hello Amy."
