I am going to be making an entirely new book based on this same plot and similar characters... But I will not be a literal child when writing it. Hopefully it's much better lol.

Book 1 of the Marks series!
_________________________________
What if you fainted, and the place you left, the place you remember, is long gone? Instead you're stuck fighting for your life with the help of your classmates, who all remember everything.
But you don't.
Ava's twin is hiding something from her, and her best friend isn't the same person she remembers.
Her school has been turned into some sort of military base and everyone is in uniform. She hasn't seen any adults, and half of her friends aren't around. What's going on?
_____________________________
"I just want to know why. That's it. Why did all these people have to die? Why is it that people had to lose almost everyone they loved in one day? Why? It just doesn't- It isn't-" Dawson sank to his knees and put his head in his hands, his shoulders shaking violently. A sob left his lips, the agonizing sound pulling at my heartstrings. "Why is it that people change? That I'll never get to see..."
His voice dragged away into the silent air. Everyone was long gone, having left after the ceremony. Dawson stayed where he was, silent tears running over his fingers and to the ground as his body shook with the force of his cries.

This book is based off of my friend Ava's dream.

Moving In
Blaze White is the New Girl at the Prep school in her mothers old home town. But her only goal for senior year is to keep a low profile, no friends, no parties and NO boys. Axel may be adored and worshipped by his peer-but he hates people, except 5. So when a beautiful but closed off girl suddenly enters his group. He is not welcoming of the mysterious beauty despite the pull they both feel. •••• WARNING: This was written many moons ago. I have decided to put it back up because of a large request from readers. However, I was a kid when I wrote this so take it with a grain of salt. *** Like a deer in head lights, I freeze and watch as the car comes towards me expecting to get hit. But to my surprise, the car swerves to the side slightly next to me and comes to a stop. I take a deep breath I didn't know I was holding at the driver's side door swings open and a very pissed off Axel steps out. "Thank god," I mumble and place my hands on my knees to catch my breath. "Blaze?" He says and I hate it. I hate how he says my name as if it's his. Like he knows it's the only thing I want to hear, him calling out to me, looking at me, focused to me. It's the first time in my life I wanted someone's attention so badly I didn't care how I got it. And that was too dangerous for me to hold onto. "Are you insane or some shit? I could have killed you!" He says and starts to walk towards me. I take a big breath and step back away from him, "s-stop! Axel," I stutter still panting. It's then he notices the blood on my hands and shirt. "Is that blood?" He asks staring at my shirt and I take another step back. "Stop, stay b-back," I try to say confidently but I can't even breath right. Realizing he won't listen I start to turn around planning to make a break for it. "Don't run from me Blaze it won't go well," he growls reading my thoughts causing me to freeze in my spot. "Do not ever think you can get away from me."Complete
❝𝓣𝓱𝓪𝓷𝓴 𝔂𝓸𝓾❞
When two parents in Russia begin to worry about their quiet son, they tell themselves it is nothing. Boys speak late sometimes. Some children are simply shy. But in the late 1940s, silence feels heavier than it should. Though he was not quiet by choice, perhaps it was safer that way. In a time when neighbors listened through walls and governments listened through wires, many preferred silence over sound. So when they hear of a man, a "miracle doctor," they call him one who specializes in children who are "lacking," and they allow themselves hope. Five months later, hope returned, with a black case delivered to their door. It is filled with money. Their son is gone And on top rests a single note. "Thank you."
TILL DEATH DO US PART
[COMPLETED: Book two in the works] **Disclaimer: This book was written on impulse, out of the creativity of my rotting mind. Take that as you will. Will have darker themes as its setting is based in a dystopian/apocalyptic society. Readers please be at least 16+.** "Finally, I could get a look at his face as his eyes scanned over the landscape and it wasn't long before his eyes met mine. Ba-dump. I felt my heart thump in my chest. I stared openly at him. My eyes wide and full of curiosity and anticipation. He was everything that I had been searching for. I lifted my hands when I saw his grip tighten on his knife and showed that I was not going to attack him and meant no harm. But his green eyes only narrowed with skepticism and suspicion. He looked like he was ready to kill me, while it was all over for me, I was beginning to believe in the corny idea of love at first sight. I was already set on capturing his heart and becoming his partner. He was perfect." - Mila, a lone survivor, obsesses over the idea of finding love and fulfilling her childhood dream to get married before the world ends. Finally she meets the guy of her dreams, another survivor named Everett. But as they reluctantly band together they find surviving against the human rabies virus to be the least of their worries. Instead, they must face a Facility that poses as a utopia for survivors and uncover its darker secrets. Will their lives end before she can accomplish her dream to fall in love?Complete
Marked
Four unmarked survivors. One totalitarian government. A fight to keep their humanity intact. 100 years into the future, the E-91 virus has thrust the world into chaos. For Rachel Wilson, survival hasn't come easy. For the last fifteen years, she's lived in the wilderness, just out of reach of the Council of Nations. Until one day, poachers--the section of law enforcement tasked with hunting the Unmarked--raid her home and she is forced to go on the run. Weary from the attack, but certainly not broken, she ventures into a dangerous world with only her fiery determination to survive. In what appears to be a stroke of good luck, she is rescued by an underground movement working towards bringing down the capital or die trying. Death over mark, that had always been the mantra. Because the alternative-becoming a mind-controlled soldier to fight the capital's war-was a fate worse than death. ***What other readers are saying about Marked*** "You've done a wonderful job of creating and molding this couple into real people. Now, they practically breathe!" -thebirdwhisperer "This is incredible! I was holding my breath for a second there because everything was so good and the action felt so rea!!!" -titanic123 "I rarely comment as I'm not very good with words. But I have to tell you I enjoyed your book so much. I cried and laughed, bit my nails and rooted the characters on as if they were my family." -leenafrogComplete
To Be A Killer
Book 3 in the in To Be A Runner series. If you have not read books 1 and 2, I seriously suggest you do that before continuing or you will be really confused. Missing friends, a new enemy, a secretive company, and many new discoveries. Yep, that sounds about right. It's been four months since some of the Abel residents left our walls, and in our search, we've been fruitless. Until now. With the help of a new friend, we discover more about Diana and Comansys, and what's happened to our people. That's the main priority-finding our friends, finding Maxine, finding Caleb. Turns out there's a lot more about the apocalypse and how it started. There's more than we could have ever imagined. Each new clue leads to another story-another piece of the puzzle. I can only hope we figure it out before it's too late. Because there are bad people out there, and sometimes we have to play by their rules instead of our own. And I'm merely a pawn in this game of chess-a pawn that every player of the game wants to either kill or own. New friends, old friends, new discoveries, and pain. So much pain. And yet... so much joy. So much joy doing the things I never thought I'd do... And I can't help but hate myself for feeling so good about doing such horrible things. Disclaimer-I do not own Zombies, Run! Or it's characters. I only own the ones I created. This is my Runner Five's version of season three and what I think happened in between missions.Complete
"Almost Green"
Strands of your mind cling together like web to a slippery leaf bathed in the morning dew. You have seen both heaven and hell, witnessed the atrocities of war firsthand, and imagined a better life in the deepest, most intimate corners of your dreaming spirit. The wishes for peace and certainty you have once so desperately longed for, now lay trampled underneath the might of your mind's vivid horrors. What was once so bright and lively, now cowers in fear, clinging to gone memories like a shipwreck survivor to some lowly piece of driftwood. From the depths of hell, you arrived victorious, grasping the laurel wreath high above your head. Unrecognizable, with your empty eyes telling a story of innocence brutally taken away from the child curling in shame in the depths of your empty soul. Almost green you are, curly head, having grown up with a rifle by your bedside table, never knowing peace and quiet. Out of the pan that was the Kazdel Civil War and into the scorching flames of Lungmen, where life flows by on its own accord, here, you must learn to live once more. So put on your best facade, Let the reuniting trumpets ring a wild, And allow the city to swallow you whole. Here we are, a continuation of my previous work "Goodbye Curly Head", which sprawled into quite the epistle (but it wasn't really a letter, it's just long :P). Summarized in the most basic way possible, it's a story about a twenty-year-old Kazdel Civil War veteran who goes to Lungmen and has some troubles acclimating to the steady life presented before him. Sprinkle in a too-good-to-be-true offer and a freshly established logistics company, and you get Andy trying to make it big for as long as his deteriorating mental state lets him. I'd say it works as a standalone story for anyone who doesn't want to bother reading the first part. For now, at least. As always, please, pwwease leave a comment, positive, negative, I LOOOVE reading and replying to comments!!Complete

The Last Day
There was never even me and you. There was only me waiting for you. It seems like I have always been here, in this space of time. Never moving an inch forward nor an inch behind. And its safe to say, that you will always expect thing between us to be this way. I was the net you fell on when you jumped too high, only to fall back down. But I'm tired of waiting when everything moves ahead and I'm still here behind, waiting for you to come back. And so I close the chapter, as my ink dries, knowing those words written or said could never be taken back. Even those unsaid ones that just lay between us. Now as I stand alone, isolated, while everything speeds past me, I slowly blink and let the weight fall from my arms. Because there never really was me and you. There will only be you waiting for me. ------ A story about a girl trying to mend her heart while finding her passion. But it seems impossible until Chris shows her otherwise.Complete
