"Don't you understand?" He all but snarled at me. "The price for love is death!"
"You know the price of everything but the value of nothing!" I spoke with such conviction that I felt the Earth shake and oceans roar behind me; for I had just supplied him with ammunition for the deadliest weapon of all time: the power to completely annihilate me. And my gosh, he sure knew how to take advantage of it.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ten years ago a threat that could end mankind as we know it was detected.
Without warning, Skylar Koker's world is turned upside down as she is hunted by a power hungry division planning to use her to take control of the danger and use it to destroy humanity.
Fortunately for her, he's been trained to protect Skylar; Chase Dawson's career has been leading up to this moment. And he's hellbent on making sure that this time he won't fail - the stakes are too high.
Now, Skylar's thrown into a new world with her cold-hearted protector by her side. As soon as she realises she is in too deep, she's left vulnerable and walking the fine line between not caring about Chase and caring too much which only puts the two of them in even more danger.
With the secrets and lies Skylar believed was her life beginning to unfold, she's left questioning whose side she is on and whose she's fighting for.
The impact of failure is the extinction of humans.

Her Only Chance
THIS IS A FIRST DRAFT I HAVE BEGUN AN OFFICIAL EDITTED VERSION BEING PUBLISHED ON MY PROFILE UNDER THE OTHER HER ONLY CHANCE!!!!!! HOWEVER I STILL RECOMMEND READING THIS VERSION. (I began this story when I was like 13/14. So the first maybe 10ish chapters is definitely a bit more juvenile (still bearable) which is something I need to edit through. However, once you pass the beginning of the story (when I was definitely a lot older) I promise it gets a whole lot better. ____________________________________________________ Where trust is the one thing you cannot rely on, who can you trust? ____________________________________________________ What I went through . . . I couldn't wish that upon anyone. It wasn't just horrific, it was everything. I walked through death, walked through heartbreak, I walked through betrayal, I walked through a city of ruins, I walked through unimaginable tests. I survived against things you wouldn't even want to know. Things you couldn't even conjure up with your imagination. But I still did. But you want to know the worst of it all? I only had one chance. ____________________________________________________ Where nations are now out of control with the sudden rise of population and the demand of essential items and access to shelter, the government needed to take back control of society. So all the major powers of the world joined together and after a long ten decades of suffering, came to a conclusion; Resdue. Which was basically an acronym of saying 'death test'. Two students from each individual high school in either grade eleven or twelve would be chosen by the principle and teaching committee to be sent to the Resdue Test. You were supposed to rely on your partner and was forced to as if one partner were to die, you would join them in death.

THE RISKS
"You can't tell me there isn't something here worth risking everything for." [New Adult Apocalyptic Romance] Summary: There are some things that you can't outrun. That becomes all the more obvious when the world is ending, when there's nothing left but the feral creatures that were once people, consumed now by a virus that's made them cannibalistic and ravenous. It might just be easier to end it all, but Claire still has one last thing to fight for. Her younger sister. And she intends to keep her safe, no matter the cost. So, with no other options and her sister in tow, Claire ventures out into the dangers of this new, unforgiving world in search of safety, security, and answers to some long burning questions. The first two things -along with some new, unexpected questions- she finds in an unlikely place: a stranger who she's become indebted to. She has a feeling he can help her answer all her questions, if she can allow herself to fully trust him. Trust, she thinks, is a fragile thing. Humanity, a construct. Love, a weakness. But these are the thoughts of a survivor, and she's beginning to wonder if surviving is all she wants. Maybe she wants to live.

Except, she's not that typical and he's not that much of a bad boy. *** "If I told you that I care about you, more than anyone in your life does, would you believe me?" He asked me, his jaw clenched. I could tell he was furious. Yet somehow, I wasn't scared of him. "No" I shook my head bravely. "If I told you,'' He tried again, closing his eyes and taking a deep breath before continuing.''That you make me so fucking mad, I want to punch a fucking wall. What would you say?" He had me trapped now, my back painfully colliding with the wall behind me. I gasped at the impact, looking up into his icy grey eyes. They were cold, emotionless. As always. "Do it!" I dared him with the last ounce of courage I had left in me. The sound of his fist smashing through the wall right next to my head, made my ears ring for a brief moment. I opened my mouth to speak again, shaking slightly, only for him to pull away and leave me standing there alone. ____ !!Warning!!

Static
{COMPLETED} "now that you've had your fun electrocuting me, would you care to hop in the backseat?" ---------------------------------------------------------- Freak DNA. That's what I like to call it. The fault to my genetic code. More often than not, it's a curse. The static running through my blood gave me a name. A cruel, daunting label of a measly bug. A roach. That's what I am to them, to the government. Roach; the nameless monster with electricity for a sense and lightening as a second nature. It ruined my life, the sparking currents playing tag in my mind, running around and bumping into everything, shaking me loose. The government, actually. They ruined my life. My curse just gave them a reason. You see, the normal population with ordinary DNA, they don't know about the people like me. The roaches of the world. We don't get that kind of recognition at the camps. There, we are only one thing in the military's eyes. We are weapons and we will act like it. Everyone else out there, bathing in the goodness they don't know they've got, they don't know about the roaches their stepping on. As long as their getting closer to the sky, they don't care what they stand on to reach it. They don't know about the sparkling dreamer that's killed 7 people before her 17th birthday. They don't about the ghost of a girl peaking around corners for her entire life because even home wasn't safe. They don't know about the fighter of steel and iron sucking on his bloody lip courtesy of the wars he battles in as nothing but a shadow. They don't know about the masked villain who would do anything to see the army they lead claim the throne They don't know about us. But they will, because we will rise. And when we arrive, we will arrive violently. ___________________________________________ Started: 10.06.15 Finished: 3.17.16Complete![Falling For Mister Nobody [COMPLETED]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/74737920-256-k623528.jpg)
