	"I don't think you'll wanna do that," Adam's voice dropped a little. "It's hardly a safe journey, and I'm not sure I even have everything I need to get what I need from Veridian. I can't ask you to risk not only your life, but everyone else's here. It wouldn't be fair."

	"Nonsense, just tell us what you need and we'll be glad to help." Bell smiled to him. "What're you looking for from Veridian anyways?"

	Adam's voice dropped even more. "Well, there's whispers around the galaxy about a device in the outer rim, Veridian to be exact, that can trigger the winter pillars on its winter solstice. When activated, it's rumored to have the ability to do practically anything, even resurrect the dead."

	"And I take it there's someone you want to resurrect?"

Blood and Thunder by KyleWilliamUrban

You've just woken in the woods, away from everything you know. You're dazed and confused, unable to comprehend what's just happened. As you are coming to, images flash before your eyes of the last few days. Your parents were taken by the police, you were forced to run, to leave everything behind, to save yourself and your sister. But she isn't here. You panic and look around, you stop. You remember. She too was taken, you are alone. For now. This is what happened to Alexander, his life has just been turned upside down. The year is 2415, the world has both evolved and devolved. It isn't how people imagined. Flying cars, robots in every house, telekinetic pencils. No, they are only in comic books. Self driving cars. No robots in houses, but workhouses instead. Telekinetic pencils... that's possible, if you are gifted with the power of telekinesis. There are dark truths hidden behind closed doors, that only few know. Truths that if they got out, would bring the downfall of the government. A government that has been deceiving people for generations. But they haven't been as careful as they thought, because 100 years ago, one guy found out their secrets. 100 years ago, one guy started the rebellion that would bring about the end. From burning books, rewriting history and breaking human rights, this government will stop at nothing to make it seem that they are doing good. But people have had enough, the secret came out before. It's only a matter of time until it happens again. This time by a group of people that no one expected. Together they work to find out the truth, but things have gotten worse over the last century and this may not only bring around the downfall of the government. Armed only the powers they were born with, the group do everything they can to discover the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. But many have tried and failed, do they really stand a chance? Alexander doesn't think so, but his main concern is finding his sister, Rosia.

Running Human.exe by banban777

"I want to be human." "Then you must learn to love." For twenty years, Eve has lived trapped in poverty and solitude. Life repeated meaninglessly, like a cold line of code.

Forged from steel, code, and longing, She brings to life the perfect humanoid-Adam.exe "Run me... I'll protect you." To become a perfect human, Adam begins to learn emotions. What love is, what a soul means. But the more Adam understands the human heart, The more Eve is haunted by fragments of an unknown past. "Eve... where did you come from?" A familiar voice echoes from her faint memories- A distant space where light and gravity once danced together. And now, the hunters are closing in. Reptilian trackers with shattered starlight in their eyes. They ask, "Why have you been reborn?" A fate that cannot be escaped or denied. Between machine and human, memory and data, soul and algorithm- Is the love between Eve and Adam merely an error in the code, Or a destiny that must be executed?

The Unbroken by Gingers_Moon_

She's a bright shining star. The apple of her parents' eyes. The wonder kid in her school. The Angel in town. But she's also just a teenager trying to live her life. For some, it's relieving to know you have a steady life awaiting you whether you pass or fail your exams. For her, it's a pressure to do as expected. Her genius that challenges Einstein can be a curse as much as a prize. Though that burden can be useful when a meteor is thrown into the straight forward path of life. So the God's want to be cruel and push this 'privileged' girl onto her knees. They want to make her beg for help, to finally abandon her independence and resilience. Like she's going to obey those sorts of demands. You can throw anything at this young woman, and she will find her way to the light. Giving up isn't in her nature. She will fight for anything if it means proving her worth to those who doubt her. Don't underestimate a punk, they have kind souls made of steel. *Book two of The Legend's series*

Revolution- Runaways 3 [EDITING] by _silverlining_98

The whole camp was filling with smoke. I coughed, praying that my lungs would keep working for just a few more minutes. "Eli, which way is west?" Adam's breathing was just as labored from physical exertion, smoke, and panic as mine was. I didn't even process the question. I didn't know. We couldn't see anything through the smoke because the fire was spreading so quickly, and I just realized I'd forgotten my walkie-talkie. "Don't know!" I answered. Adrenaline was the only thing that kept my feet going. I knew we'd come in the East Gate, and if the cells were in the center, then if we kept going straight, we were going to find the gate any second. "Keep straight!" I instructed. I saw his head bob slightly, acknowledging my delayed direction. Then Adam cried out beside me, and I stopped short. I reached for his body involuntarily as he pitched forward, nearly causing him to take me down with him. My left hand was soaking wet from where it had landed on his shoulder. I winced as I tried to steady him, not daring to look at what I knew would be a pool of blood in my hand. ☁ Now that they have a new ally on their side, they're looking to change the United States for good. At some point, they want every camp freed and every teenager home safe. But each new camp brings an endless supply of new challenges. Things are beginning to spin out of control. Follow each of them as they discover who they are, who they love, and more of their country's secrets than they could ever dream of in a thrilling trilogy told from all five points of view.

Soul Ties by amaleno

The third Planet by Lean_Oani

"Where's the Ana I knew? I thought I'd know you but I was wrong. I erred in every single thing. Maybe it's really this place but if you won't change when we're gone I won't be able to go with you."

Jonesing ✓ by Yairla

"Wanted to be bold." I blush while I avoid eye contact. "Devin needed to borrow clothes for gym." I stare at my bare legs. "I should've told her no." He shrugs, biting into his sub. "Not a fan of exposing the body." I nibble on my burrito. "I just don't want anyone to get the wrong idea." I tuck my hair behind my ear. "That you're easy." My face reddens as I look at him in the corner of my eyes. After a few moments, I nod. He sighs. "The only thing that makes a girl easy is if she lets every and any guy inside." He runs his fingers through his hair. "Clothes or attitude has nothing to do with it." I trace a circle on my thigh. "And a guy that believes otherwise is either a dick or a rapist." I smile. "Avery." "Ava." "Your brain works in wonderful ways." I get more comfortable and lean on his shoulder. "So you've said." I giggle. "I'm glad to share the same name as you." ~ A girl, a perfectionist, named Avery Jones has been in love with her childhood friend's brother for as long as she can remember. He's never noticed her, though, he doesn't really notice anyone. He's sort of an insouciant philanderer. They couldn't be any different, the only thing that connects them is their names. Oh, by the way, his name is also Avery Jones; no relation. As crazy as it might sound, it's true. Anyway, it isn't until she becomes his mentor that he finally sees her. But will this new circumstance spark a connection or show just how different they are?
