Lane starred in the mirror, her eyes roaming over her face, body, hair, and the black wings, once white, stretched out behind her gracefully.  She sniffled as it became difficult to breathe, memories flooding her head.  She saw their eyes staring at her when she closed her eyes, some confused, some disgusted, some intrigued, but most horrified.  Horrified at what stood in front of them.

"Why can't I be normal?"  She said, looking at the photo in admiration.  Suddenly, a sick idea struck her.  "Maybe I can."

Five Star Reviews for Atlantis Academy: "Omg this book was amazing I couldn't put it down or stop reading. I carried it with me open on my phone while I did everything just to keep reading. I need more of all of this. Epic story, epic content, epic visuals, just epic. LOVE THIS!" "Once I got into this story, I did not stop reading it. This is a beautiful story about a very awkward girl who is riven with so much pain and angst and yet... this makes her who she is and shapes her into the person she will become. The world she finds herself awakened to is magical and yet filled with the all-too-familiar cliques and tribes of the very human people who inhabit it. One word to describe the story: beautiful!" "The story pulls you headlong to the end and leaves you wanting to shout "No! Not yet!" ...If there were 6 stars, I would have given it that." *** Humanity is one secret society away from extinction. The children of Atlantis use magic to keep us safe. If they make it through the Academy. Hi, I'm Lyric. And I'm kind of a mess. ADHD, that's me. I'm a high school drop-out, late everywhere I go, and one screw-up away from being homeless. I'm a loner, and I like it that way. Who needs friends when you have a Redwood forest nearby? Trees never bully me like the kids did at school. Or get drunk and throw things at my head. After my mom died, I figured life couldn't get much worse. I thought it might even get better. Ha. The universe has a great sense of humor. I should've listened to the rumors about evil spirits. About the angry, ancient magical creatures haunting our small Oregon Coast town. But did I? No. That was my first mistake. And it might be my last. 'Cause now I'm in a battle for my life. A whole new world has opened up... a magical world I don't understand. And the blood in my veins says I belong here. But I have to prove myself to save myself. And when have I ever done that?

{Idea from Maximum Ride, but I've changed a whole bunch of stuff, and the storyline works differently} The world is ending, and 99% of the Earth’s population may die! There’s only one person that can stop it. Jannice is 16 and just a normal girl. 98% normal. The other 2% is avian. She's grown up as a hostage at a lab in Colorado where geneticists have experimented on her and her 6 friends. But now that they've escaped, there's one easy task. Just one. Then they're free. Jannice just has to save the world. Her righthand man Liam was created to support her, and Lily was created to be her guide. And Harry, Niall, Louis, and Zayn? They were created to help. But everything's going wrong. They keep getting followed, everyone seems to be an Extenguisher, the flock splits, and Lily has predicted Liam's death! And Niall's blindness isn't helping either. Even with newfound powers, how can 7 fugitives save the planet? And are two romances blooming? Will the flock save the world, stop the 99% plan, and be free forever; or will they be retired? ========== I've been doing everything I can to keep the flock safe-how could I be on THEIR side?! A soft knock cam on the door. "Jannice, you OK?" came Liam's voice. Tear ran down my face and I didn't answer. "I'm coming in" I heard the door open. "NO!" I cried, but he ignored it and sat on the bed. "What's up?" he asked, staring at me as I lay at his feet. I knew I could tell him, if anyone. "I saw me in the mirror...as an Extenguisher, but when I felt my skin, it was just skin. Liam?" "HM?" he stroked my wet hair soothingly. "If...if I ever went bad, promise me youll protect he flock...from me" His eyes grew. "I-I promise..." "Thank you" my voice cracked. "And you'll be the leader?" "Sure" his face looked concerned. "I just can't see it" I took a deep breath. "Me neither, but whatever happens" he arose and knelt down beside me. "We'll be fine" he pecked my forehead and walked out.

Wren's life is about to change forever - but not how she expects it to. Kidnapped on her wedding day, she finds herself trapped in a mountain cave, unable to return home with no company outside of the inhuman creature that took her. *** "Wait, Wren! Not that way!" It was darker here and panic limited her vision, but she could see it reaching for her; its wings like two huge looming shadows behind it. "Get away! Don't touch me! No, let me go!" She shrieked. She screamed in earnest as a hand took hold of her arm, and then even more when her own hand reached for something to hang onto and grasped at empty air. She had been scrambling towards a sudden drop! The hands hauled her back, but she still struggled. She didn't want to look at it, and she still wasn't sure she wouldn't rather take her chances with the open air instead. "Stop it, I'm not going to hurt you! You'll hit your head on the rock or something. Wren, please!" It knew her name. Somehow it knew her. She was going to die! "Let me go! Stop touching me!" She was sitting on the rocky floor now with her back against an uneven wall, and it was trying to pin her down and hold her still. She kept her eyes turned away and struggled helplessly, but it was no use. It was strong like a human man too, and she couldn't keep it off of her. The wings had moved until they curved around them both and shut out a lot of the light. Its face was so near hers that she could feel its breath brushing against her skin. "Please just look at me for a second. Just look. I'm not going to hurt you." One of the hands grabbed her chin and forced her head to turn, and then she was looking straight into a pair of dark brown eyes. It had a human face too. She had been expecting something monstrous or ghastly, and the surprise made her falter for a moment. He looked young, with a bad haircut and an earnest expression on his face. "I'll let go of you, okay? Just don't lunge around like that anymore, you'll get hurt." He whispered.

So I suck at descriptions but here we go: My name is Lola Jansen and I'm your typical 17 year old girl. I love to read, paint and mostly keeps to myself. I go to the Gifted High School because like most I am special. Here in The Mystic realm there are four kinds of people, elementalists, psychs, e-psychs and gypsies. Also outside our Kingdom lies the land of the creatures. There you will find werewolves, dragons, vampires and shifters. But they are blood thirsty beasts who kill anything that enters their land, or so we've been told. When my life is torn apart and destroyed I soon figure out who I am and there is no stopping my revenge. Our world as we know it is about to change and it's all up to me whether it changes for the better or worse. If I let the greater evil get me our world is over but I must find my strength and courage to over come all the trials I face. Because not only am I an E-Psych but I have every power my people have ever known.
