When people look at me, they see an innocent, young girl who probably lives in a nice house and is a goody too shoes.

Ha do they have it wrong or what. That's all for show. I'm the best criminal going. I organise, have people perform and collect payment. That's my day job.

Best part is that I technically don't exist.  Not on record or file. Not at all. 

Which is why I'm a Shadow!!!!!

Overthinking makes the voices in your head imminent and you begin to listen to them. You listen to them because they are the only thing there,the only thing telling you how it is. So you believe what they say; believe you're not worth the good things, believe you deserve the negative things that happen to you, believe that you could have stopped a bad incident from happening and believe it was your fault And that belief grows, it grows unto depressed thoughts and feelings and you start sinking until you become a shadow of your former self *********** Alexa sees life as a gloomy abyss of darkness Yes,she moved to a new city in a new state but it didn't change the mistake she did. Her past which was filled with colour is a contrast to her present bleak life The voices speak for her,her nightmares are a reminder and her attacks are her punishments Or so... she believes Blaze doesn't think his life is anything than his version of perfect He has a girlfriend,he is surrounded by two friends he would do anything for and his grades are always...perfect Until Alexa barges into his version of a perfect life and unravels the imperfections. But she's not the only one unraveling imperfections He sees the fear in her eyes,he feels a sense of protection over her and one question clouds his mind Who is Alexa Magnus and what happened to her? They'll both need help, care, confrontations from the past, patience, friendship and as they navigate through this roller coaster, they'll find discoveries that'll leave them shocked at the end. Trigger warning: Incidents of self harm is mentioned. Cover by @saphire_skye ***********************************************

Standing in the middle of the road, in the middle of the night, drenched from a slight shower from above, seemed like the best option I had left. With only a flickering street light casting light a metre ahead of me, you would probably think I was crazy. But I wasn't always, I used to be a normal girl, with a future I thought I chose and a life I thought I controlled. But this isn't where the story begins, let me take you back a week and you can see how normal I was. My name is Olivia, I'm 18 years old and I just started my first year at college. I have a younger brother and sister, twins, who are 14 years old and in high school. My parents are 48 and 46 and are highly regarded lawyers. Which means they go on a lot of business trips, leaving me to look after my siblings. Which isn't bad, they're not hard to look after as they're in high school. I have a part time job as a Bartender to help pay for college, my parents thought it would teach me responsibility, as if looking after two teenagers wasn't enough responsibility to begin with. You see, bartending isn't a hard job, but it's not exactly all happy go lucky or rainbows and lollipops either. Sometimes it's really exhausting, you have to deal with rude customers and do the jobs no one else wants to do. That's where this story begins, at work. That's where I met him.....Hunter. I was bent over, on my knees......picking up crap that the previous group of customers had left for me, when he walked up behind me. It wasn't exactly great, or amazing. Though as I soon came to realise, it wasn't the mess Hunter thought was amazing. It was my ass. So come along with me on this outrages ride, through the ups and downs, the laughter and the tears of this crazy journey. After all that's what this thing we call life is, right? For what is life......without consequences.

I hated waiting. It was especially challenging standing carefully to make sure I didn't break my heel before the appointed time. Ugh setting up a meet cute like this seemed so stupid. If all I had to do was seduce the mark, why did we have to go through all this extra effort? But the powers that be said our mark had a real romantic streak and was currently heartbroken over his highschool sweetheart cheating on him with a new business contact, before both skipped the country, seemingly to elope. I watched the crowd walking past me as I stood in the shade of a closed store alcove, the walls giving me something lean against making sure I didn't step on the unstable heel accidentally. Stupid Americans, everyone looked like they were in such a hurry to go buy more things they didn't need. Hair and makeup took two hours yesterday and just as long today. I did not want to have to sit through that again. Plus being stuck in a third girly demure dress for another day might be enough to finally kill me. It might not have all been so bad if I could have chatted with someone while my hair was pulled and burned and styled, and creams and potions layered on my face and eyes. But all of the salon girls were owned by the powers that be, and none spoke any of the languages I could. I suspected that it wasn't an accident. I felt my phone vibrate with an alarm. Show time. I started walking down the sidewalk. It would have been a beautiful day for a walk if I wasn't so focused on my mission, and trying to only walk on my toes with my right foot. The town car pulled up to the curb just ahead of me, coming to a stop in front of the quaint little shop. The timing was working out perfectly. Just a couple more steps. I watched as the rear door of the passenger side opened, I moved to step around the now open car door just as a set of long legs in navy slacks swung out from the car. 3...2...1...
