One planet. One daughter. One mystery.
_________________________________________
16 year old Cassandra Radcliffe, nicknamed Cassie, is a whip smart, space loving, badass determined to find her father, or at least what happened to him. It's the year 2520, space travel is a thing of the present, rather than the future. Humans have found a way to settle on every planet, around it, or on one of it's moons. Except for Earth's sister planet, Venus. 12 years prior a mission had taken place with the intent of discovering the secrets of Venus. Cassie's father, Carson headed the mission. Things didn't go as planned. Everyone on board mysteriously disappeared as they approached the dangerous planet. The only remaining clue of what happened to them is the last transmission the team ever sent back to NASA. The odd part is that the transmission didn't show a crew in fear it actually portrayed the crew speaking of Venus's "beauty" and how what they saw was so "unexpected ". As Cassie's search for the truth intensifies, secrets are uncovered, lies are exposed, and people are for the first time seen for who they are.

~CURE~
"Sometimes finding love is the CURE you need..." My name is Lexianna Kingsley, I've always admired planet Earth from afar. You see I live on the planet Venus, Earth's neighbor. I'm the Princess to be exact. I love my planet with all my heart and I would do anything for my people. As much as I love Venus the one thing i've always wished we had that Earth does is true love. On Venus we have arranged marriages. It starts from the day you were born. Your parents would pick out someone just for you either five days older or five days younger. Since I am a princess my arranged marriage would be to a Prince. I'm turning eighteen soon which means I will need to be wed to take over as Queen. Prince Aaron was picked out for me, though he seems nice that's not the loophole. Having an arranged marriage isn't the worst thing. It's that your parents start to disappear... no one knows why or how this happens it just does. As soon as you are married they start to go starting from legs and up. I can't let that happen not with my three year old brother Daniel in the picture. He can't loose my parents, I can't loose my parents. And that's what brought me to this point, the point where I have packed up all my things and I have started my adventure. My adventure to find the cure. I have a feeling that if I find real true love on the planet Earth it will be the cure to help not only my family but the people of my planet. I can only hope I can find the cure before my eighteenth birthday, before it's too late. ~Created and written by xInspiringWords/Samantha~Complete
