action adventure creature death elements

"You can't kick and punch at the mist. You can't defeat me. You can't defeat a shadow." -------------- A tragic disappearance, an earth shattering death, and an unrelenting menace. Magicians have only every faced the evil of their own kind and never other-worldly beings, which is why the Mystic Legion was created: to keep the peace and balance, just as the Elementalists would want. But when the Shadow creature is back to terrorize the town once again, not even this elite force of mystical warriors knows what to do. Of course Leia Rein has faced big things before, being one of the most promising magicians among her group of the Mystic Legion trainees and all; but nothing could ever prepare her for the earth-shattering death that followed three years after the disappearance of her best friend. When this murder occurs, all fingers point to her and even she can't help but do it as well- especially if random snippets of a memory she doesn't remember having begin to appear. The only real connection she has to solve this murder comes from the fact that the Shadow creature, and the boy who has been missing in her life for the past three years, reappear at the same time. Leia can't help but think that it's not a coincidence. She has to get to the bottom of the creature's origins and what this boy has really been doing these past three years, and that means digging deeper into her best friend's disappearance and following the Shadow creature's every move. In some way Leia knows that the disappearance, the murder, the creature, and the boy are all interrelated, and Leia has to figure out how the hell she's caught in the middle of it all- before the creature can get to her as well, that is.

I live in a world where I am nameless. I live in a world where I do not matter except or unless I am owned by someone. I do not have rights, freedoms, joys, wishes, or aspirations. I am property. I was born and raised to belong to someone that will one day take me away like the fairy tale stories that I listened to everyday in the house I live in. I prayed every night that a handsome prince would come and take me to live in his castle just like in the books. I prayed that I would be a princess and have a kingdom just like in the books. But I was never told that the books were all lies. I was never told the true reason why I was a well sought after commodity. I was never told that I am not the only one like me. When I found out it was too late to save myself. To think and in less than 4 days I will be taken away from my current home and be in a home of my own. I sat on the simple wooden bed hoping that my owner was nice and kind. I hated to think about some of the stories that I heard about the other girls like me. I hated thinking about being exterminated because I made my owner unhappy. I thought to myself that I would try real hard to keep him happy. I remember the covenant of rules that would keep me and my owner happy. I would need to follow five rules. 1. Always obey my owner. 2. Always be available to my owner. 3. Never talk back. 4. Always agree with my owner. 5. I am not human so I cannot do human things. I wondered how pretty human women were. I was so nervous about my departure I nearly refused to leave my room. I could leave if there wasn’t anything wrong with me physically. I remember the den mother telling me not to do anything that would cause a refund or else I would be exterminated upon refund. My new owner had thirty days to return me. If he returned me and no one else was interested I would be exterminated. I would be killed because it would be thought that I was defective and no one would want a defective product.
