Jason Conroy is a popular 16 year old with the world at his feet. That seemed to be the case until unexpectedly, and out of character, his father David informs him that they are to move to a desolate part of northern England for work reasons, leaving everything Jason loves behind. With only his cat Kato for company, the Conroy's arrive at their new home much to Jason's distaste. Things go from bad to worse as Jason struggles to settle, finding everything to moan about from the constant strange, dreary light outside and the spooky old house to inhospitable locals.  On his first venture out Jason meets Jo, a beautiful but feisty 18 year old. For a moment she offers some respite to his misery until she suddenly becomes scared and tells Jason to be wary: 'Don't eat the food here. It's drugged. It's the planes; they don't want you to hear.' This bombshell opens up a dark and dangerous hidden world that surrounds both Jason and Jo as they attempt to uncover the truth behind her claims. A once stable father figure, David's real intentions for moving come into question. As they dig deeper, the full extent and scale of the deception begins to unfold, leaving Jason questioning everything he has ever been told. Fearing lies and searching for truths, Jason uncovers shocking personal secrets and revelations of an unbelievable origin that will change his life forever, even bringing the safety of the earth and the fate of the whole galaxy into doubt. Whatever he thinks or feels, Jason has no choice. It is down to him to save everyone and everything...All Rights Reserved

Unexpected Calling by ImmaJesusfreak

What comes to mind when you see the word, "nightmare"? Do you think of all your teeth falling out in front of your bathroom mirror? Or maybe your pants falling down in the middle of your math class?

Jay Falley is a not-so-normal seventeen year old girl. She earned three engineering scholarships and won countless technology competitions. She has several colleges after her talent and on top of all that, she has school, babysitting, and church meets every Sunday and Wednesday night. Jeremy Henryson is a not-so-normal eighteen year old guy. He mysteriously lost his parents after they had gone on a mission when he was only fifteen. He'd been earning college credits since he was fourteen and was training to be a spy as well. He was adopted by a normal couple, who couldn't have kids of their own, at fifteen and was a spy by sixteen. How could their lives get any more bizarre? How about adding marriage, bombings, and a secret nuclear organization who has their mind set on destroying America and taking over the world? Scary.

Primed: A Kayla Madison Story by MelissaHamilton2

Kayla Madison is a normal-ish sixteen-year old whose main desire is simple-make it through high school without embarrassing herself too much in the process. It doesn't help that she's being followed by dark figures no one else sees. When a man with incredible speed, unbelievable power, strange old-fashion clothes, and an obnoxious personality threatens her life, she discovers she is a rare "two-worlder" -a person with one parent from Earth and the other from Earth Prime. She escapes another attack by jumping through a portal to the alternate dimension, much to the chagrin of her protector. As if managing without electricity, cars, and phones on the more Edwardian world weren't enough stress; she finally meets her long-absent father, a scientist in the top-secret field of Trans-Dimensional Travel. Things get more complicated when she realizes her best friend's father, or rather the Earth Prime version of him, might have been the person that orchestrated the assaults. ___ Thanks for reading!

Fifteen-year-old Sheldon Hickory fights for his life as unusual creatures take over the town of Hidden Trail. On the run, Sheldon and his dad help a group of neighbors hideout, only to be attacked the next day by a larger, more evolved alien species. Separated from his father, Sheldon is brutally beaten and wakes up days later in an abandoned school with a beautiful girl named Cara. The two spend time together in hiding along with a couple of kids who have strange ideas about the intentions of the alien invasion. The group is soon picked up by some edgy teenagers who have hot-wired an old school bus, and are preparing to escape to the water. However, when Cara surrenders herself, Sheldon learns about the horrifying yet curious vision of these rapidly evolving aliens. The lovestruck teen soon questions the morality of the human spirit, and wonders what it might be like to submit to the utopian idealisms of this new alien race. **WARNING** - this story may seem 'gentle' in the beginning, but it can get a little disturbing and there is some mature content. "Somehow when I'm with her, I forget everything - being with her takes away the end of the world." ~ They Came from the Trees Hope you enjoy!!
