Perfection. The highest possible degree in proficiency, skill and excellence. When I was younger my mother used to tell me that nobody is perfect. They are now.
Maidie is a normal teen girl, living in a society of false, obessive, perfect people who are practically robots. Being imperfect had consequences, them being, lifetime imprisonment,death or Empirical Island.
When Maidie chooses the Island, she is forced to acknowledge how much she truly values her life when it becomes a battle of the survival of the fittest.
Under the governments careful watch and control, she must avoid the other contestant and come out on top. There is only one rule; you are not allowed to kill the other competitors.

So when Evelyn is chosen along with 47 other "young leaders," what will happen when she meets them? And when the impossible happens, what will happen to those young leaders?

A Matter Of Choice
One of the most prized freedoms in human life is the freedom of choice. Millions have fought and died through the centuries for the right to choose. Unfortunately, most of the choices people made have turned into illusory freedoms. When examined closely, they have been choices which have led us down to the path of slavery. Depending on the choice we made, so shall the path we walk. © I am Heather. Lastname: Unknown. I have been a rebel against Ciel's government since as long as I can remember. Being a rebel, I was an untouchable. A person who never existed in Ciel. I live in the country of Ciel, Panem's neighboring country. But unlike Panem, Ciel does not hold Hunger Games or reapings. But still, it is hard to survive. Being one of those who rebelled from Ciel's government, I have to take a stand and fight. For all costs. To death.Complete

Killer Magic Academy
You either become brilliant, or you get killed. When Alyssa was invited to a boarding school to learn magic, she was expecting something out of a Harry Potter book. She wasn't expecting to become a master of a power and learn how to survive and fight with it. She wasn't expecting that most of the people in the school would kill the people with too much power. She wasn't expecting to be one of the most powerful students to ever walk the school. Everyone at Aptitude Academy has power within, and everyone in the school will either become brilliant, or be killed by the other students. Alyssa thought she was signing up to learn to help the world, but she has to master her power quickly, before the people who already have mastered their powers come after her. Soon, that becomes the least of her problems. There's a prophecy that everyone seems convinced that it's about her, a fight club that she accidentally signed up for, the dragon that lives in the arena, and the threat that terrifies the entire school. There's only one person who can stop the threat before it's too late - the subject of the prophecy. Unfortunately for Alyssa, no one knows how to stop the threat or what exactly it is. Despite the fact everyone seems to thing the savior is Alyssa, no one knows for sure, and one false attempt will destroy everything Aptitude Academy has ever known. You become brilliant or you get killed, or maybe both. Cover by: @Ari_forevComplete

Prophecy | George Weasley (COMPLETE)
"I like you George, but I can't" "Why not?" "Because I'm going to die" •~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~ Astrid is not your typical Ravenclaw. She doesn't study, she isn't smart and she has gotten stuck out of the Common room way too many times. George Weasley fell for the girl the moment he saw her but what if that wasn't the first time he'd seen her? Or even fallen for her? Every story has a villain. Without a Villain there's no hero/ heroine. In this story our villain isn't a person but the concept of death itself. ~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~ A/N I FOUND A LOT OF IDEAS FOR THIS BOOK ON PINTEREST AND TUMBLR. Unfortunately I couldn't list them, I'll try my best to give credit to as many as I can. So if you recognize something as headcannon or a writing prompt, it's probably from Pinterest or tumblr.Complete
The Island
"This is The Island, a prison designed for minors like me- too young to be executed, too old to be reformed, and too much of a stain on humanity to let exist. It was 'the answer' to the growing crime rate resulting from a world that was falling apart. The details evade me, but there is one thing I know. The water doesn't seem as scary as it did before." When Jordyn wakes up in the middle of a tropical forest in the mouth of a cat too big to be real, she decides this isn't how she wants to die. The Island has other plans, though. It was designed to kill her, and it will bring out every gun in the arsenal to do so. Her life becomes a game of survival from the mutant and venomous animals, severe temperature changes, and impossible weather scenarios that exist in this government manufactured prison. The twist? She has no idea who she is, where she came from, or why she committed first-degree arson. In this mixture of "The Hunger Games" and "Maze Runner", Jordyn has to unravel the truth before nature kills her- or die not knowing.

Games We Play
Victore Academy boarding school is a lot of things. To the outside world, it's the heaven of schools. For some students, it's an experience they'll never forget. For others, it's the place to start their careers. And maybe for a few, it's the peak of their lives and really as good as it's going to get for them. And for me... well, I'll need a bit more than this to talk about that. But before you step in, here's a few things that everyone makes note of: 1. The students have secrets. And money. It's hard to tell what more of, honestly. 2. Don't get a room on the West Side of the girl's dorms. The birds around that private property lake house downside from campus don't stop chirping at 5AM. It's unpleasant, to say the least. 3. Avoid Mr. Labadee's classroom at all costs outside of lessons, especially past fifth period. It's better off if you're left in the dark with this one. 4. That asshole from Spain that terrorizes all the young freshmen is not hot. However, girls do make note of the fact that he works out post seventh period and right before first, near the track field. 5. The Victor's Tournament happens every year for all the senior year students. It's a pretty big deal. 6. And I think Armin Rivers is probably going to kill someone before he wins it (and it's probably gonna be that Spanish asshole). cover by soundthealarmComplete
