My name is Lyra. I have 4 brothers; Adam, Seth, Kanani and Lucas. Life for our kind is not easy. We were thought to be myths. Stuff of legend and scary stories that parents tell their children when they misbehave. We live on the outer lands in the Mountains near Albuquerque, New Mexico and have settled in an abandoned warehouse that we have learned to call our permanent home...or at least we hope to. The air is thin and dry up in the mountains, and that normally keeps people away, but that doesn't mean that they don't try to find us.

I am 19 years old, but for our  kind, we age at a slower rate than humans (ex:every 10 years for a human is approximately 2 years for us). Lucas is 20, Kanani and Seth; twins; are both 19, but I'm older than both of them by a few months, and Adam is 22. Despite our age differences, I am the one who keeps us stable and alive. I cook, clean, love, and care for my brothers. And watch for any whom intend to hurt my family or use us in any way shape or form. 

And over the years, I have come to realize and understand the overused term "family"; that it is not defined by blood; But by loyalty, love and the bond you share with one another. It's the people in your life who want you in theirs and accept you for who you are; what you are.... and who would do anything to see you smile and love you no matter what. 

But that's the one thing I'm afraid of the most; never being loved for who I was and who/ what I am now. Never to find my one true love; my soul mate...and being internally lonely for the rest of my life.

My name is Lyra....and we are Griffins.

Our original home was more radiant than this. Our air was so much cleaner, all water on oyr plabet was crystal clear. The land and grass greener then Irelad. Our sunrises and sun sets had colors so vibrant and brilliant. Many shades of color not known to this planet. We had five moons ranging in size they were different colors like blues, green, purple, silver and human blood red mixed. That one was the biggest most beautiful moon we had. Also had a moon that was broken. It had and huge chunk missing. We called it, Isohlti Muh Gihra. Meaning Moon of many valleys. We had two suns also.

(History) Hi my name is Serenity, and I have a secret I must tell, because you see I am immortal, which means that I cannot die no matter what, like for example you shoot 100 bullets at my heart I won't die. When I first realized I was immortal was when I was trying to save a friend but the bullet went right through my heart and killed her. Her name was Sarah, and she was the only person that accepted me being immortal. You see what happened was, she said that she was going to tell people that were scared of me that I was a normal person, but she said that to someone who really hated me and that was her brother, Ian, even though he may be hot, he can be a full on jerk. Nearly everyone at school knows that. But, the one thing I don't get is why he hates me. I can understands if he hated me after his sister died, but it didn't mean that he had to tell the police that I killed her, as I didn't, he did. He is such a bloody liar. One day I will get revenge on her, but that will happen once I get out of here. At the moment I am in jail, I've been telling the police that I didn't kill Sarah, but they still don't believe me. The chick in the cell next to me whose name was Raquel said that they won't believe anyone as they have heard too much shit from other prisoners. Raquel said that she did a pretty bad crime, and she been in prison for around 10 years. I am worried that I am going to have to stay for 10 years for something I didn't do. I swear Ian screwed up their minds as he has been in prison for 5 years; well that is what Raquel told me, as they used to be Boyfriend and Girlfriend, and they both did the same crime 10 years ago.

My life was supposed to be normal. You're born, raised by good parents, go to school, make friends, graduate, get a job. You create fun memories, find the love of your life, get married, start a family, grow old, and eventually, you breathe your last. That's what life was supposed to be like for me. But instead, my life turned out to be the opposite of normal. And so it was for Chiara, Blake, Jake, Rowan, Nova, and Dijon. To tell our story, we need to go all the way back to the beginning. Before we were even born. It all started 30 years ago. April 5, 2003. a class got into an accident and when the survivors woke up, they realized something was wrong. they got powers , they got taken by scientist who started calling them the hollows. It took almost a month before they were rescued by Mr. Knight, they got taken to a secret place where they could live peacefully. that's a lie, one of the students wanted revenge and not stay hidden, so the group seperated. Every year another person got powers, and so, the search continued. But there was always one question on mr. Knight mind: Why 12 children the first time, and only one per year after that? And one thing was for sure: whenever someone gained powers, they had to give something up in return. It was never a choice. It was just the way it was. So, now that I've explained a bit about how this all started, let's fast forward to the present. It's now 2033. Mr. Knight has found 19 children, and Mr. Douglas, the leader of the other group, has found 10. That means... the 30th child is out there somewhere. Who will it be? And one more thing before I go-welcome to the world of Dark Light.

Brothers

70 parts Ongoing Mature

Older brothers. I have more than people could handle. I have 8 brothers. Well one is my twin, but surprise surprise he likes to make it known that he is older. Sometimes it sucks being the only girl, but I wouldn't change it for the world. My name is Alora. I am 14 years old and a freshmen in high school. People think that my family is perfect and that we have never had anything bad happen to us. We lost our mom over 9 years ago. I also had something bad happen to me, but I will get into more detail in the story. This book is just for fun. And this book is inspired by so many people, so if something seems similar tell me so I can give credit, but I would love to give a few books that inspired me to write this are "I'm a Costello," by _crazy_hooman_ , "The Storm's Return," by Cocomazza, "Our Little Moon" by nunu110383, and finally "Resilience" by liswatiii. I could still go on about amazing books and writers, but these are just a few that are my personal favorites ( even if you don't like them this is just my opinion). #1 In dead mom! -May 2022 #1 in protective older brothers!- March 2023
