Guilt is a powerful infliction.
You can try and conceal yourself from it, but that's when it sneaks up and starts to eat you alive.
Some people struggle to understand their own guilt, unwilling to understand the parts they play in it.
Others run away, shedding their being until there is no conscience left for them at all.
But, I run towards my guilt. Feed it because I need it, because for me, guilt is one of the only lanterns that still lights my way.
My name is Emma Maynard, and I'm trying to hunt down the one thing I need, and to get it, I have to hurt a lot of people on the way, but nothing is going to get in my way.
But sometimes even the best laid plans can get ruined.

We thought it was over, but the past has a way of crawling back, and it doesn't knock. A year later, on the anniversary of her "suicide." we get THAT message. "meet me at noon." Old wounds reopen, and new clues appear. Someone else "commits" suicide. No one is safe when the truth tries to speak.

White Crayon
"If you ever feel down, or you feel like your worthless, just remember the white crayon. No one can use one. No one needs one." One second children are laughing and the next someone got hurt. It could be someone else's fault, or purely coincidental. Everyone deals with guilt differently. Some play the victim, using it to play the main character in a story that was never written for them. Some surround themselves with things and people that can turn their mind off for awhile. Others might feel guilty when they weren't even there. They feel like they need to go through something similar or worse to validate their suffering. Others grin and bear it, maybe because they don't have time, or they don't want the time. The day everything came barreling down, Rune Winston was a White Crayon.Complete![Waking up Blank [Published - sample only]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/3225025-256-k673343.jpg)

The last
Y/N doesn't remember what freedom feels like. She was taken when she was young-stolen by people who saw potential in her pain. The Commission gave her a name, a number, a purpose. The Handler taught her how to survive. How to disappear. How to kill. Now she's a weapon Until Five finds her. Sharp-eyed, cold-hearted, dangerous in his own way. They're strangers-but something about her stops him cold. She's not part of his mission. She is the mission. She knows who he is. He has no idea who she really is. But the past has cracks, and feelings don't always follow orders. As timelines collapse and the truth claws its way out, Five starts to realize: She wasn't meant to live like this. And maybe-just maybe-he wasn't meant to walk past her like she's no one. Because even strangers can carry pieces of each other.Complete

ALONE | A TVD STORY |
There is a girl who has always known the weight of loneliness. Surrounded by people, yet never truly seen, she moves quietly through the world as if she were invisible. No one asks how she feels, no one notices the storm she hides behind her smile. Her presence is taken for granted, her heart overlooked, as though her worth is something small and easily forgotten. Each day becomes a repetition of silence-her voice unheard, her emotions dismissed, her soul yearning for someone to simply care. But everything begins to change the day she meets him. He doesn't just look at her; he sees her. He notices the sadness behind her eyes, the way her laughter carries both hope and sorrow, the way she tries to hold herself together even when she is breaking inside. For the first time, she feels what it is like to matter, to be valued, to be cherished. In him, she finds more than companionship-she finds light where there was once only shadow, warmth where there was only cold. And for the first time in her life, she begins to believe that maybe she was never meant to remain invisible after all.
