Thicker Than Blood
About 20 years ago, a disease swept through decimating the majority of the worldwide population with type-O blood, both negative and positive. Very few were spared the debilitating and fast killing disease, and the ones who did survive were sought after for their unique blood and antibodies to the disease all in the name of science. Doctors around the world scrambled to figure out the disease, but one Stephen Mitchell was an intern at the local hospital at the onset of the outbreak and was a part of the discovery and eventually the cure. It seemed his life would be then filled with interviews in magazines and on tv, and great fame... but someone else collected on that. So, instead of becoming famous, Mitchell became a high school teacher and assistant department chair to Harry Kristiansen, the science department chair, at a boarding school for overly privileged kids. Jobs given to them seemingly out of nowhere. Things seem normal, the day-to-day boring with students coming in and out of the classrooms. But their blackmailer is interested in saving his lover, not normality. In order to save her, they need to find the very thing that has eluded medicine for close to 20 years, finding people with type-O blood to harvest. The very thing that should be easy, is proving difficult for Harry and Mitchell until the addition of a third partner. This partner seems to be a Godsend, able to find participants to appease their blackmailer, until he is no more. Fearful of their lives and for their families, the two men try to figure a way out. One wants to tell and be over with it, the other wants to use a different tactic. Yet telling the truth will cause more people to die. However, not telling the truth causes more people to die. Can Harry and Mitchell make it out with their sanity and their lives?Complete
Ape Girl «•» RISE
["WILLIAM!" Came a shriek from her mother, and just as she turned toward the front, headlights was all she saw. Before tears could even spring to her eyes the car was rolling, unstoppable. Blair felt her head hit the ceiling, the window and then suddenly she was jerked forward and she slipped from her seatbelt and out the windscreen. Her screams left on deaf ears.] When Blair was only 8, her parents and herself were involved in a car accident-her mother dying in hospital. The force of the car sent her deaf and she was left to learn sign as well as cope with hearing aids. As her 10th birthday rolls around, her father takes her to work-as she seems to be the only person Bright Eyes would allow in her cage without acting out. Bright Eyes is one of the chimpanzees Will has been testing an Alzheimer's cure on. Blair was the only one to know of Bright Eyes' pregnancy, and was the one to convince her father to keep the baby chimp when Bright Eyes dies from an unfortunate event. [I do not own the ROTPOTA movie, nor it's characters. Only my own.]Complete

The Battle Within An Angel
Maddox Price has been implanted with a chip, allowing an ancient deity to control every thought that crosses his mind. Be it unwillingly, he's tasked with protecting someone "special," a smart-mouthed girl deemed the "healer of humanity." Claire Adara was raised in an orphanage, left abandoned after her parents died in a fatal car accident. She'd learned to be sneaky, and that trust is a rare gift that must be earned. When she met Maddox, though, she was drawn to him. Well, not to his attitude, but rather the shimmering gold liquid that ran through his veins. As if controlled solely by a deity and absent of any individual thought, Maddox and Claire must (against their natural instincts) work together to save the world from the natural catastrophe that is the Red Giant. The sun has become 100 times bigger than it once was, and it's scorching the Earth. Claire is the only one who can reverse it. Though, the sun is only one problem on a long list of them. Anarchist group- Chaos- is after her life, simply for the omnipotent power that she possesses. As humanity stands on its last two feet- her two feet- Claire works alongside Maddox in a journey to save both humanity and themselves.
