AN EXCERPT FROM THE STORY: ** As I lay my back on my tiny bed, a few inches away from my parent's at the extreme end of the room, I stare deeply at our ceiling, I realize it has a lot of patched holes, even Jenna who is only a youth lives in a house better than this, now I even compare our lives with a fiction character, is it now this bad. **Complete
Price of the Past
Amelia Brenner, daughter of Martin Brenner, had developed powers at the age of 2. After the death of her mother, Martin buried himself in research, and left Amelia behind. She had tried to live an ordinary life, but she was anything but that. The older she got, the more her powers progressed, causing her actions to become unpredictable. After sending her caretaker and father in a panic, Martin chooses to get the only person he knows who can help get her powers under control. Peter Ballard. It will either be the best thing for her, or the worst. Fair warning, the first few chapters are a little slow for character build up. This story will contain, blood, gore, violence, language, and smut (slow burn). I do not own the characters or any storyline that resembles Stranger Things. The only characters I own are Amelia and her caretaker, Susan.Complete![Illusion ~Stranger Things~ [COMPLETED & UNDER EDITING]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/150164705-256-k361629.jpg)
