Odelia has spent most of her life so firmly under her brother's thumb that she might as well have been an insect trapped in a chunk of amber, but now, at long last, something is happening to her. Too bad it's not a nice, normal, something, like a 'meet cute,' or a job offer.
Odelia is metamorphosing.
The process transforms her in ways that are simultaneously crippling and a source of wondrous creative power. Who knew magic could be so gross, so downright icky? Or that power, far from freeing someone, might just make their enslavement even more desirable?

Cross My Heart
These girlfailures definitely aren't the best pick to be magical girls, but alas, fate has a sense of humor even in the midst of a god-killing apocalypse. Inspired by Madoka Magica and OMORI. When sickening mockeries of divinity arise to cannibalize the gods, a group of five very troubled girls are thrown head-first into a nightmarish apocalypse. In order to stop the world from ending in a sea of gore, they'll have to manage their own problems and defeat versions of themselves they never knew existed, all the while learning the cost of their powers, the reality of the world they live in, and just how truly impossible some decisions can seem. Power in the wrong hands can be a truly terrifying thing. It can break the unbreakable, raze the immoveable, tear hearts out of chests, and teach the ones who think they're unkillable what it really means to die.![Charmed [✔]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/225408567-256-k164551.jpg)
