Breaking News: Retired football player Victor Vanderbilt's son August Vanderbilt's body was found floating on Hall Lake last night. Investigators found no foul play. Victor and his family asked to keep other information from the press to mourn for August privately.
Balancing school and her three part time jobs, going out for fun was the last thing Mara Hart had in mind. But when her best friend asked her to, she couldn't say no. When Mara saw August Vanderbilt at the amusement park that night, she didn't think something was wrong.
He didn't see her, of course. August was known for genuinely believing that people like her doesn't deserve to even breathe the same air he does. Well, that, and he was the only son of Victor Vanderbilt.
With August being 'spoiled and arrogant' and Mara being 'a socially awkward freak who talks to ghost', what would happen when Death decided to play with them?
Living their completely opposite lives, one accident would change everything.

Till Death
I know to you, and most other sane people, that her story might sound crazy. She saw the ghost of her dead son and ran out of her own home, screaming in her nightgown for the whole town to hear at two in the morning. The police didn't even believe her, and why should they? Probably just got spooked by a creak in the floorboards of that big mansion of hers. No one in their right mind would take her seriously. But the truth of the matter is this: Mark Needham, a journalist for his local newspaper, is probably not in his right mind. After the death of his wife eleven months and fourteen days ago, grief, isolation, and extreme sleep deprivation have worn away at every shred of his sanity. He was ready to end it all...until he witnessed the old woman screaming about her ghost. Her story may have been ridiculous to most people and even to you, but to Mark this was the first and only glimmer of hope that he's felt since his wife's passing. Could...could Annie really come back to him?Complete

Awakening
This story was previously known as "The Awakening". ~*~ "One... two... three... one... two... three... a million... is that number right?" A figure less voice echoed. "Hello? Who's there?" Caliope asked, focusing on that voice. "One... two... who? A million... a billion... no, it's more... a legion..." Silence. She had seen too many horror movies and heard too many stories about that single word to overpass its meaning. The voice went quiet, yet she was still unable to see where it came from. She rubbed her eyes and all she could see around her was a thick path in a jungle-like scene. She didn't remember how she got there, but she knew it was for something important. Her eyes focused on the far end of the path and all she could see were more trees. She turned to the opposite side and found just the same. "One... two... billions... but always back at one..." the voice resumed it's counting. "Where are you? Who are you?" ~*~ -Her name is Caliope, and when she was a young girl, she never believed in happy endings. For her, there was nothing more than what you see in front of you. All she needed was her best friend Vanessa. Her background is very simple; a foster child with foster parents that were everything but warm and caring. Regardless of that, she became a smart and responsible young woman, ready for whatever came her way. At least that is what she thought. Her new job interview changed her life. It changed everything she ever believed in, and what she thought it was real. Her new boss is an amazing woman who has a son, something different from what he is made out to be. As she discovers the hidden truth about her boss and her son, she has to prepare herself for a whole new world that will unfold to her. ~*~ Intro collaboration with my loyal reader @GabrielleCarden Original Picture from the cover made by Marcus J.
