A place of escape,to forget everything.To discard of trashed memories and make new ones.A safe house for teenagers like you and i,we hide,we play.We cry.
We find comfort in each others sadness and jealousy in people's happiness.They call us sick and twisted,messed up minds of modern society.But we are simply normal,the average living of today's world.Parading are flaws like high earned meddles is what we do best.Our eyes glow with mischief as the burning fires dance under the stark moonlight.
The house of gold is what we call our refuge,our safe place to not hide but be our true selves,they say we are all broken but truthfully they envy our ability to see more of the word.The thin,sheet-like layers are visible in our eyes.They don't know what we are capable of,neither do we.So we travel from far distances to seek answers to our never solved questions,we run to the house of gold begging for help.

But you can help it cause to get to the other side and pass the finish line you gotta climb those mountains and fall deep into the canyons. But of course teenagers even like obstacles especially when they are still tying to fun themselves. Some may be more outspoken then others and some may be the the tiniest bit too mature but they have to learn one way or another. But what happens when a pack of wolves flirting at first start being the bigger picture and that being this free wasn't going to last forever. Feelings come and go just like people but the day you turn of age that also changes. Mates is a hard word to swallow and acceptance becomes a challenge but not as challenging as sticking together as things are thrown their way, distractions are made and a few too many lies but too deep. Two Faces, One Wolf will be the only clue.Complete

My father blames me. This is my story about how I learned to not count on anyone else but myself. I'm broken. I'm used. No one can fix me. But when the New Boy in town tries to fix me, everything will change. Good change or Bad change, I don't know. Only time will tell.

This is the story as they try to keep their biggest darkest secret of what they are capable of and as they discover they're not the only ones like them... I am not very good at trigger warnings before individual chapters but there is mention of blood, cold abuse and parents divorcing. (But read at your own risk in case I mention something else. I am working on rewriting this story and when I do there will be the trigger warnings in the correct places.) (small teaser.) No one sees me. I am a ghost. I brush against the wooden fence. No one will believe it was me who disappeared into a fence and appeared on the other side of school. I stare at my brother. He made eye contact with me, confirming my suspicions. We both saw it. Whoever that was is like us. "Did you just see that?" I ask "You're that person my brother and I saw," He says. Oh no... Why then? "Wait! You're-" Completed just editing.
