Set nearly twenty years after the "Island of the Haunted" movie.  

Everyone at the Center knows about Jarod while only a handful knew that his name was specifically mentioned in the Center's scrolls as the "chosen one".  The thing is... Jarod wasn't the only one mentioned.  There was another Pretender mentioned who would come down the road.  A girl named Dana.

Like Jarod, she was taken from her family at an early age. But there's a difference between Dana and Jarod's abductions.  Dana had an idedic (photographic) memory.  Though she only remembered what her parents looked like when she was a child. 

They told her she was from Miami, but she distinctly remembers snow on the ground and the air being frigid as it was winter time when she was taken.  A weather condition that's not entirely possible in the southern climate.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
There are Pretenders among us.  Geniuses with the ability to become anyone they want to be.  In nineteen sixty-three, a corporation known as the Center isolated young Pretenders, exploiting their genius for research.  But their Pretender ran away...  While still trying to locate and recapture their Pretender, the Center moved on to another piece of the prophecy, and found another pretender in a young girl named Dana.

"They took me from my home in Alaska," Dana said, exhaustion filling her voice.  She'd been running for days.

"That's not where your home is," Jarod replied.

"What do you mean?"

"They told you that you were from there so that, if you ever got out, you'd go to the wrong city and state.  Makes it easier to capture you."

"That's an interesting theory, Jarod.  Accept for one thing.  They told me I was from Miami, and I distinctly remember subfreezing temperatures the night they took me.  I just can't ever go there since they know I remember my home."

Our Reluctant Caretaker by Kay_Gilbert

"We don't have a Caretaker. We have a Creationeer. And we love her." ~Humanity. We think we're from here, but are we really? What happened to us before then, and who was involved? Kit - a young B-Tier Creationeer - didn't want this job. She's not trained to be an Intelligent Species Caretaker, and yet she's forced to care for the last remnants of a damaged and traumatized humanity by an old, malicious evil. After carrying us around in a modified to-go habitat bubble for 18K years, Kit wants a vacation, but is hesitant to leave us alone on our new planet she built; Earth. She confides in Pan - an A-Tier Caretaker and Kit's best friend and roommate. She reveals the full story of how she came to be in possession of us and why she can't hand us over to a licensed Caretaker. Pan reveals the tragic truth of the first 10 years of our existence before Kit found us. The new knowledge Ignites a fire in both. So the two young Ethereals come up with another plan that involves the three grad school roommates, Pan, Sid, and Kit, taking us on a long road trip to the Andromeda galaxy for some good old fashioned revenge- justice. And also Screw Jim. (warning: Contains strong language.) Please comment and vote. :) I'd really appreciate it. ^_^ (This idea was born from the second I saw a photo of Earth from orbit showing the glow of our atmosphere and thought, "Haha! We live on a bubble planet." :) ) NOTE: They're not gods. This is not theology. They don't have all the answers, they're not all powerful, and they can't do everything. They're closest equivalent in a fandom would be like lesser cousins to the Q. In this AU, Humanity knows about Kit. They don't deify her. To them, Kit's presence is normal, tangible, and real. She's always been there.

I am Mariah Langsten, I go by May or Mariah. My friends, or the ones left would call me Mariah Carrie because how I could sing. I never heard it like they did. I am with two other survivors, My best friend Beth Greene, once the shit hit the fan I had no chance to find her. But once I finally got to their house. They were all gone, the barn was burnt to nothing, few walkers lurking and something that looked like their house. She told me a hoard got them and she told me about her group and what happened. It nearly killed me when she told me what happened to Hershel. He was like my second dad when we were kids. We cried for a while in each other arms. Then the other survivor was a guy I found on my way to Hershel's, which was over a 4 or 5 months ago. I lost count, besides his name is Andrew Winder. Him and Beth became a thing, but we decided not to tell her we've had sex more than a couple times. It was for comforting purposes, but we both knew deep down. It was defiantly for the hell of it, we haven't had any one sexually for a long time. I was 23, blonde hair and brown eyes, Beth was 21, blonde with blue eyes. She was so damn pretty. Andy (As I called him) was 25, brown hair and blue eyes. I had zero training before all this started, all I did was play video games, eat food and cuss at online players when they pissed me off. I didn't have much of a life. Never really had a good boyfriend, not even a decent. They all wanted me for my "perfect" boobs. Which I thought was bull shit because its just a piece of fat attached to my chest, ugh. I dropped out. I sucked in everything I was a horrible person, I was a waste of oxygen on this earth. Sometimes I wondered if I bullet would make a nice last meal. (My book Terminus is based on Terminus seen from AMC's The Walking Dead) (I do not own any TWD characters)

Our Secret To Keep. by ELShorthouse
21 parts Ongoing Mature
A delayed flight. A stranger at a hotel bar. A one night stand. Stranded in New York for an extra night than planned due to a delayed flight, I needed to find a way to keep myself occupied, and I soon found that something. It was easy enough when the handsome stranger introduced himself to me as Kade. It has been a while since I have had a hot one-night stand, and he reminds me how fun it can be. There are no questions, expectations or reasons to see one another again. What I don't expect is our night together to come around and bite me in the ass. When I arrive at a family dinner with my parents and two older sisters to celebrate my return home to Scotland, he is sitting right there with them. Not only is he my father's new business partner, but he is my sister's blind date set up by my parents. We pretend to be strangers because things would become complicated if we didn't. No one ever needs to know about what happened between us. My dad would freak out if he found out about us because he is overly protective of me as the youngest, and with the age gap between Kade and me, my father wouldn't approve. My relationship with my older sister is already strained; I don't need to make things worse between us. Even though he doesn't seem interested in her and he tries his best to show that it could still make all hell break lose. My sister hates losing. She always gets what she wants. I should stay away from him, but it is easier said than done with the tension and chemistry between us, and we struggle to fight against it. No matter what happens, it needs to be our secret to keep.

"You can't do nothing for yourself?" She shakes her head while looking at her feet, "Look at me and answer me with your words." She slowly looks up, "N-No S-Sir."

Forced To Kill *NCIS Fan-Fiction* by DarciBuchanan
14 parts Complete Mature
I never wanted to be a killer. I was only ten when I killed someone for the first time. That someone was my father. Believe me it is not what you think. I did not kill my father in cold blood, nor do I do that now. I kill people because it is my job. I work for a group in Isreal called Mossad. I am a killer, but I wasn't always one. I remember a time when I wanted to move to America and become a doctor. My father was never happy with my dreams, and he had always made sure to remind me that I was going to take up the family buissness. My father was a killer too. Though he did not do it for the government. In all honesty, he mainly killed American government officials. As you can see, my father was not a good man. He was a hitman or a contract killer, neither sound too good. The only thing my father was good for was teaching me how to defend myself... and Kill. I never thought I would be killing the people I work with and I never thought I would be wanted for murder. I guess you could say that things never really go according to plan. I remember my life when I was a kid. It was filled with drill sessions and shooting ranges. Those were the days... The days before I became what I am now. My name is Avivi JÄGER (pronounced Aa-viy-viy Jeger). I am from Israel and only sixteen. Yes, I am a sixteen year old that is being hunted by the whole world. My name comes from the Jewish/Hebrew words meaning Innocent and Hunter. My mother was the one that named me. She was a doctor, but died a year after I was born. I wanted to grow up and be like her, not like my father. Like I said... Things don't always go according to plan.
