Being independent in a sketchy city that crawls with crime tends to heighten your senses to an extreme.
And luckily for her, this became an advantage point. 

 Alex Bend, a 17 year old introvert, grew up just like most of you; bitterly disgusted in the world. 

This young teen found her home life quite dull. She lived with her single aunt who always found an excuse to do nothing and make Alex be her caretaker. This drove the young introvert away from the home and often times at a boxing match or at a gym.

After years of sneaking out to de stress by fighting, Alex's aunt caught on and figured she would teach the kid a lesson by signing her up for what she thought was a dissiplinary school. 

But what it turned out to be was so so much more

Guns, revenge and buildings to bomb, what could go wrong? ✮ He came in, gun held out in front of him in one hand while the other was resting on his hip where a sharp dagger gleamed in the light. "Come on out little girl, why not make this easier for both of us. The agency you ran away from just want to have a little talk, that's all." She scoffed internally. Yeah right. Then the footsteps ceased. She peeked to the right, then to the left. Neither direction showed any sign of the intruder. She looked up in front of her and gasped, the glint of steel and smell of death as overwhelming as it was adrenaline inducing, exciting. "Boo." ✮ Murder, accidents, assassinations. Call it what you will, it's all the same, all has the same life breaking, mind shattering consequences - be it for the victim or the bystander. It had shaped Alex in a way no one should be. Broken down and rebuilt into the perfect soldier, one who had the power to change the world, to fight battles that would either make or break the carefully constructed vision we all live in. The only small, minute, really unimportant detail - it's pretty hard to get into a government classified site when you're 15 years old and have a rag-tag team of double-crossing back-stabbers behind you. Not to mention the threat of a world war and ghost hanging above your head. Armed with sarcasm, wit, and a hell of a lot of aggressive intentions, it won't be too long till a sticky situation is all that's ahead of you. Sometimes, running head-first into a situation isn't the best idea. Instead, you gotta play a game. A deadly game where either you have all the pieces on the board, or you have nothing. [previously known as Espionage: double-cross] Thanks for reading :)

''You're shaking.'' His thumb brushes her wrist, finding a slow drumbeat pulse. ''I can't keep doing this.'' Her eyes flick to his, shimmering like suns on the edge of collapse. "Telling myself it's going to get better." "You deserve to be happy, Whitney," he says, his lips so close she can feel the words more than hear them. He's here, too close, too steady, and the heat of him melts a sliver of ice inside her. "Even if it's not with me." And there it is--raw and spoken. She closes her eyes against it. But when he brushes his knuckles against her cheek, and when he whispers her name like a promise, she... Wonders. 𝑫𝒐 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒉𝒆𝒂𝒓 𝒊𝒕? 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝒔𝒄𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒎𝒔 𝒃𝒆𝒕𝒘𝒆𝒆𝒏 𝒔𝒊𝒍𝒆𝒏𝒄𝒆. She isn't his to protect.

"You ungrateful bitch. I keep a roof over your head, and this is the thanks I get?" "You could have killed her," I retort, trying to muster up confidence that I don't possess. "What if she goes to the cops, Dad? That bruise on her face is enough to get you arrested and charged with assault." "What? You mean when she tripped over the mess you made in the kitchen?" His smile is so wicked that it chills me to my core. "She ain't going to the cops. Hell, she'll probably be back here tomorrow." "You're a bastard," I whisper, tears filling my eyes. "No wonder Mom left! She probably couldn't bear to spend another second with-" I'm pushed to the floor.

I've really done it this time. -------------------- (COMPLETED) Life is hard when nowhere feels like home. For Layla Dodds, there is only one goal: survival.

Alex is a 17-year-old girl recovering from a recent near-death experience. She's been forced into a strange new world where she discovers that the age-old folktales and myths of magical creatures are actually true, though not quite as accurate as she would have thought. These creatures live among us, and as a newly- changed vampire, she is now one of them. Alex has always struggled with depression, neglect, and isolation that have defined her identity, and now make it difficult for her to ever feel "normal." She makes friends with other magical beings that give her the strength to face her inner demons and provide her with a sense of belonging and the willpower she may need to face off against a group of political extremists from shifting the balance of humanity. Should she fail, humanity's existence will be in jeopardy and she could be lost forever.
