The wrong place.
The wrong time.
The wrong way to die.

***

Population control has become a tradition in the small town of Ahern, California- a horrible one, but a tradition nonetheless. Anyone over the age of 80 disappears. The disabled and handicapped cease to exist. The number of people ages 18 and under decreases by ten each year. 

In a sort of game called "The Competition," ten kids, typically thought to be delinquents, are chosen to be shot on sight. It has transformed from an essential element for survival into a sadistic game, in which children are chased down like they're wild animals. They have all but ten minutes to pack and run... as for curfew, anyone found outside the borders after 7:30 pm are to be shot at will. They lose each right as a human once their names are announced on the news.

The game is normally over within the matter of seconds...

But what happens when these ten kids find out about their draft before they're supposed to? 

When the children thought to be "delinquents" happen to be the smartest kids in the town?

When, for the first time in years, there's hope?

I'm headed for Hope's Peak. My name is Alex Einstein and I am the Ultimate Leader. I was enrolled in the Academy that destined it's alumni for success. But, I don't get the usual High School experience. Instead, we're on an Island - there's no way home and quite frankly, some of us won't even get to see our home again. Why is that?

Disney Goes to Hogwarts by Anggie111

In this book, characters from *Frozen, Brave, How to Train Your Dragon, Tangled, and Rise of the Five* leave their kingdom to attend Hogwarts. As they learn how to create and control magic for four years, the young teenagers face insane drama. Dark secrets, romance, betrayals, tragedy, disappearances. One day on Christmas day Elsa and Jack go up to the third floor which is forbidden. There they find a diary over 80 years old with a secret writer writing on weird days. -------------------- Not only that but Elsa found a book that might just explain something that has always been a mystery. Her powers. ------ When it seems Jack has betrayed her, Elsa runs to the forbidden Forrest and accepts the help of a terrifying "friend". It seems the school is causing more harm than help. These are just small parts of tr story. I don't own these characters.

You V.S. Mafia by scaryberry123

[COMPLETED] "Shoot," Joey mumbles, letting out a string of profanities under his breath. We turn around to find a group of men, all with guns, standing where we just came from, and they look pissed... probably because they were forced to run through this tunnel after us. "Thought you could get away, didn't you?" The man who I saw before asks. His husky voice booms in the hollow tunnel, reverberating off of the dirt walls. His voice sounds familiar, and a realization strikes me. It sounds like the man from my dream. I remember him holding a gun and wearing a blue suit, smiling evilly at me. "Leave us alone," Joey says, sounding dangerous and snapping me out of my thoughts. The levity of the situation hits-we need to get out of here. I look around for a route of escape and thankfully I see a light, literally, at the end of the second tunnel. I let out a small, almost inaudible, gasp and nudge Joey. He looks at me and I subtly gesture with my head to the second tunnel. He glances at it and immediately we are on the same page. His jaw sets and he looks at the group. The man speaks up again, chuckling darkly-a sound I will never forget and will be permanently etched into my brain, "You can thank your father for starting this mess." -------------------------- Liza was a normal teenaged girl, living the average life that an eighteen year old girl should be living. She had good friends, good grades, a happy family, a loving boyfriend, and an overall content life, seemingly having everything a person could ask for. However, when she somehow gets thrown into the mix and is in the crossfires of a brutal mafia war that she has no business being a part of, things spiral out of control and she has to do whatever it takes to regain her freedom. In this hectic adventure of gun fights, torture, bank robbing and intimidating mafia men, Liza has to face it all, putting her average life on the line in order to defeat the bad guys and go back to her normal way of living.

The experiment. by shrosz

They used my vulnerability against me. They used that weapon, to make me accept their stupid idea. And I of course, accepted it, I didn't even know what they were going to do. They tugged and poked and even shoved their disgusting finger in your wound, just to see you cry. To see you change. No pitty in their eyes. They just continue. They drag you around with metal chains, hit you and turn you into a experiment. But I had enough of the tugging, the clawing, the moaning, the crying and pleading for them to stop, but simply feeding them with our pain. They turned me into something, that neither do they know what I am. Their afraid of me, of my reflexes, my strength. I killed a lot of them. They say I have a cold heart, that I don't feel nothing. That's why they call me: Death -----------------------------------------************************************--------------------------------------------- Death.

Sacrificial by MarkDMilton

A Tournament is held once a year, where 34 children between the ages of 12 and 18 from 19 Regions battle for a chance to be the sole Champion. It has been going on for almost a hundred years. It is a tradition at this point. Everyone accepts it as what it is. Then, one year, the rules change.

A truth about a death everyone assumed happened 15 years ago of one of their Champions. She has been alive this whole time, trying to hide from her past that is now forcing its way into everyone's present. She will now have to show everyone the truth and face the consequences of her actions, both past and present. She will be forced to battle with her wits in a Tournament she knows will kill her, and she is almost content with that, content with the fact she can finally rest. However, the rest of the nation will not let her die and will bring her back to life, kicking and screaming. They will make her fight for others and herself. Follow Mavery as she deals with her past, present, and future. Life, death, fake smiles, a performance, beauty, promises broken and more kept, all of these things and more stand in her way of finding an ending she feels she rightfully deserves and wants.

A Witches Home by astroskywalker

SUMMARY: A witch who has been shunned by her people and the world is hunted down. Her birth was foretold "to bring blessings ... or death to us all." The risks outweighed the rewards so all witches agreed; if she were ever to appear she would be killed on sight. Her mother knew the risks but she loved her child even if she was destined to bring harm to the world. She knew her daughter would bless this world if only she could be accepted. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case so she whisked her newborn away and safely hid for 17 years. On the day of Astrid's 18th birthday, everything changed. She was betrayed and fleeing in the chaos she lost control and blacked out... "Wait where am I...?" [Hello host and welcome to the Training Island. My name is Link and this is your starting point here in the Beastworld.] "... WHAT THE F-" ***A/N *** This is my own original story with my own characters. This story is based on the beast worlds that I have read but this will be a completely new story so no one come for me this is just for fun. Do NOT copy. I'm writing as I publish so if you have any ideas or comments on the story let me know and I can try to add it in. Updates on Fridays. ***MATURE CONTENT*** AKA smut and there will also be scenes of abuse mental/ physical so you've been warned. If smut will put a 🍋. I also curse a lot so if that bothers you sorry not sorry.

Link City by MapleCFreter

When you're marked you have two choices; fight or die. Nance lives in the past, literally. Her city is a recreation of early twenty-first century society. To the outside world they're experiments, just rats running around a maze. In an impoverished future world, the city seems to be their only chance of finding where they went wrong, or so they say. Nance doesn't know the real purpose of her home, and she doesn't care. All she sees are the one hundred teenagers, just like her, who are killed every year in the barbaric ritual known as the marking. They tattoo your face and pit you against your peers, against the city. Nance doesn't know why, but it doesn't matter, because she's sixteen and it's her turn to be marked. **So I decided to replace the original story with the rewrite because they are pretty much exactly the same. Plus, it's a lot less complicated then having two separate books for the same story.** There is a * next to all rewritten chapters. THE ORIGINAL VERSION IS COMPLETE. IT'S JUST NOT MARKED AS SUCH BECAUSE I GAVE UP ON THE REWRITE.
