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

For her senior year, Ashley moves into her aunts mansion in order for Ashley to live the life every child deserves. There, Ashley encounters new friends and a guy who has changed her outlook on life.

I'd Live For You, If Only I Could (Completed)
*Mitch POV* I knew something was wrong when I couldn't breathe. It was in the middle of our social studies lesson for the day, and I tried to take a breath. All that happened was worse suffocation. Being twelve, I didn't handle it well. I opened my mouth to try to speak, but all that came out was an odd sounding croak. My teacher hushed me. But someone sitting next to me looked at me and noticed how pale I looked, or noticed that tears were welling in my eyes and I was drooping. I wrapped my hands around my throat seconds before I blacked out. That was only the first instance. In the time that I was unconscious, my lungs filled with fluid and I almost died. I was out for nearly two days, and my parents really thought that I would die. I vaguely remember hearing my mom crying while I couldn't open my eyes, and my dad telling her that maybe it was just my time and they had to let me go. But then I woke up, and the fluid had been drained from my lungs. I spent a while more in the hospital, and in that time, my parents found out that I had cancer. It had been determined that I probably wouldn't live much longer, maybe three months at the most. The conversation was happening outside my room, where I was supposed to be asleep, but I still heard the whole thing. What I remember most is my mom's sobs.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.
