In the wake of World War III, which decimated most of the world's population, the remaining survivors vowed to not continue to repeat the same mistakes of the past.

Innovative forms of technology have enabled them to abandon the old model and re-engineer a better way of living for all. Brain implants and genetic modifications have made an entire population educated, healthy, and kind. Despite the benefits of this technology, it has created some unforeseen side effects that threaten humankind's existence.

Ravenwings (Imaged + Completed) [1st in Trilogy] by annag173

My life changed forever the day I found him, half dead, and covered in horrifying old and new scars alike; the winged man. He was so beaten and terrified... I couldn't just leave him there, so...I took him home with me. I did my best to coax him out of his shell, but I think there's something he's not telling me, something besides what happened to him... Why was he trapped when I found him? Why can he hardly speak? Why was he so scared of people? He was so scarred I swore he might have been tortured... How did he get those scars? Who did this to him? What could they do to me; what WOULD they do to me if they found out how close Raven and I are getting? And...what would they do to get him back? ~ ~ ~ Written: early High School 2016 Last Edited: mid-college 2021 Rated PG-13 for graphic violence, symptoms of trauma, and mostly-censored swearing. Enhanced with: visuals, maps, graphics, photos, character casting, etc Ravenwings is kept updated. Don't hesitate to raise feedback or even just comment your reaction!

Broken Wings -Volume One: You Can't Escape The Destiny- ((EDITING)) by edieduard12

Everyone believes in something, Gods, aliens, demons, ghosts... but there are some of us that believes in ANGELS. They think just that the angels just fly, protect you and that's the end of their power, or they are just white-winged, but actually there are three types of angels:white, dark and gray, and their power is beyond what we could have ever thought of. They can control their element, shadow or light, bend it and transform it into weapons, they live and fly in their own parallel dimension, where with their persuasive power they can control you, just if you are not strong enough. The fight between the light and the dark is now balanced just by one first challenge in the starting road of a just born angel, "The challenge of wings", that transforms an ordinary person with the sacred soul within into a gray angel, and from his 16th birthday until the first moon, every good or bad deed he does will change the color of his wings in darker or lighter shades of gray, and in the night with full moon the transformation will be completed. Kieron is an extraordinary boy, the best friend of everybody and Mr. Handsome, and now that he found out he is an angel, all he needs to do is pass the challenge and resist the fate in the tremendous war between light and shadow. Will he be able to do it?

Freefall ✓ by miahandwrites

|| wattpad-featured || || romance reads 2020 2nd place winner || ❝i hope you're not afraid of heights.❞ ❝why so?❞ ❝cause we're gonna fly. ❞ ▬▬▬▬▬▬ Audrey Olsen is an introverted perfectionist and bookworm with the idée fixe of having everything planned out to the finest detail. All she wants is to get through her senior year of high school unscarred and qualify for a college scholarship. What lays ahead is, therefore, nice and clear: just another quiet year amongst studies, shifts at the bookshop, and -- most importantly -- avoidance of drama and unnecessary attention. However, what her perfect plan didn't consider was an unexpected turn of events with the name of Cameron Alvarez -- a troubled and cryptic boy who's returning to what could no longer feel like home. Both haunted by their painful pasts and bearing raging storms inside of them, how could they overcome it all if not together? Yet how dangerous would that be, -- to step off the edge of the precipice and let nothing but the force of gravity interfere as you free-fall. . . But as Audrey well knows, anything that falls, sooner or later gets broken. Is that a risk she's willing to take? ▬▬▬▬▬▬ © All Rights Reserved. 2020 FEATURED ON: @YA @YARomance @TeenFiction @Romance @WattpadMulticultural @WattCliches || highest ranks reached - #1 in sociallyawkward ||
