╰┈➤ Matrix: (noun) The cultural, social, or political environment in which something develops. ───── 𝐒𝐚𝐦𝐬𝐨𝐧 𝐄𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐧𝐢-𝐒𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐣 is calculative, knowledge reliant, and a literal walking encyclopaedia. Being the heir to her family's business empire, she deals in statistics and data-though she's been that way for as long as she can remember-, hating every uncertain possibility that isn't foreseeable. However, the only unexpected thing-more like person-she doesn't dislike is Ichiro, her best friend. 𝐈𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐫𝐨 𝐓𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐬𝐡𝐢 is Samson's translator (since she's a walking encyclopaedia), holds justice in high regard, patient and grounded. Perceptive and socially adept, Ichiro deals in logic and evidence-working as the police's unofficial consultant on murder cases. After finding out about the incident that happened to her mother in 1980, Samson had set her heart out to find her tormentors; conjuring up a plan that'll destroy them both physically and emotionally. Yet when she found them, they were thriving. Financially. Socially. And 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 was the fuel to the fire inside her. After two years, she had done it: dates, places, timings. All planned out with precision. And on the day of victim one's demise, they perished. Brutally, ruthlessly. Gasping for help while others around them panicked. However, Samson wasn't the one that killed them. 𝘚𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘦𝘭𝘴𝘦 did. Using the same methods-with small hidden twists-she had spent years devising. And the real question is: who is the copycat?

TSITP x The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants Isma's always been known as Kamran's little sister to their family friends - Rayyaan & Luqman. They usually spend every summer going camping but this year they're going camping during winter break before Kamran goes off for his study abroad trip to Japan which means that Isma won't be able to spend her winter vacation with her friends from the Halaqa group as planned. As a result, the girls decide to ship a travel prayer mat to each other so at least they'll all get a chance to pray on the same prayer mat even if they won't be together.

Go to high school. Hang out with friends. Kill vampires. Kate's life was pretty average-except for the vampire slayer thing-until she turned 18 and everything changed. When a new boy enters her life, suddenly she's thrown into a world of blood and magic. Everything she thought she knew about the supernatural turns out to be wrong, and her role is more important than ever. ----- This is a second draft. I have lots of revisions in mind, but first I need to finish TWO novellas I'm working on for a group project. I'd love to hear your thoughts, suggestions, etc. :) ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION: So, this story began rattling around in my head while I was working overnights back in 2008. I was inspired by the song "Baby Doll Gone Wrong" by Skye Sweetnam. It's about a girl who looks so sweet and innocent (like a baby doll) but she's actually super bad ass. Kate is a normal teenage girl, high school senior by day and vampire slayer by night. On her eighteenth birthday things suddenly change and everything she thought she knew about herself crumbled as the truth about her birth parents is brought to light. I'd love to hear any thoughts on the story and ideas for a title! (This is book 1, there will be at least one more and a prequel.)

What would you risk for freedom? Mercy Baudelaire has been locked up in a cell since her eleventh birthday when the government came to take her away from her family. The reason? To save their lives. Her childhood was spent on the run, escaping the hands reaching out to pull her into a world of deadly conspiracies and experiments. Her parents kept her hidden, constantly escaping watchful eyes. After years of running, time has caught up with Mercy leaving her trapped like a caged animal. For years she was tortured at the hands of a government too corrupt to care. Because of her gifts she fought so hard to conceal, freedom was nonexistent. Mercy lost all hope the day she had been taken. As Mercy finds herself on the run once again, she encounters misfits with powers of their own; allies in a game of life she was sure to lose. Now, placing faith in freedom didn't sound too impossible to the hopeless young girl. But where faith exists, darkness often lies in wait. Mercy's enemies refuse to go down easily and not even time can save her now. What happens when conspiracies are proven and super-humans fight to take back what is rightfully theirs? In AS THE WORLD TURNS COLD, Mercy Baudelaire sets out on an adventure to prove to herself that in a broken world where the line between human and monster wears thin, a little faith and help from unexpected allies goes a long way.
