It's a good thing when you give a person hope, isn't it?  At least that's what Megan told herself as she broke up with her boyfriend.  

But why do you really do it?  Is it for them or for you?

Megan Powell likes to play games.  Hot pink Uzi hooked on her hip, she spends half her nights  at college trying to assassinate the other team for beer points.  So it doesn't faze her a bit when her boyfriend "kidnaps" her one night.  However, she's not the only one who likes to play.  One look into the wrong colored eyes and she knows the gun pressed into her side is real and she's in for the game of her life.

Using all her ingenuity, she must do whatever she can to survive. A paper clip, a glass of orange juice , a can of Coke -- all become tools for escape.   But it's not easy to survive an obsession, especially one that she unknowingly nurtured. You see, Megan knows her kidnapper, spent a summer dating him and still has feelings for him -- feelings that may go deeper than even she knows.  Torn apart inside, Megan fights not only her kidnapper but herself.

Only Jean, her roommate, believes that Megan didn't disappear voluntarily. Conducting a relentless search, Jean and her friend Matt try to find Megan before it's too late.

But it's late and getting later. Megan's kidnapper took her because she gave him the hope that they might get back together. As he loses that hope, he slips further and further over the edge of sanity till it's anyone's guess which way the game will end.

Brave Enough To Love Again  by CalliopeBlythe
80 parts Complete
I stood with my back to her, shielding her, and my murderous eyes stared down at the poor excuse of a man, promising unimaginable pain if he dared to move or even flinch. The enormity of control it took me to suppress the impulse to eradicate the piece of scum, who dared to even think about laying a hand on a woman, was inconceivable. My whole body was trembling with rage. The guy was intimidated by the fury in my eyes and stumbled back to his intoxicated friends who were too dazed to understand the situation. I was disappointed and relieved at the same time that the chaos didn't end in a fist fight. When I turned around to console her, she was gone. And as I looked around, I saw her back just leaving the bar through the entrance. I hurried out to follow her. She walked ahead of me aimlessly and disoriented like a wounded animal that had just escaped the claws of death. My heart ached for her. I found a kindred soul in her. She evidently had been wounded in the past. Just like me. But in an even worse way than I had been hurt, and it angered me, that someone had dared to harm her. *** Eden Marie Simmons is still recovering after escaping an abusive relationship when she meets Keane, the broody and enigmatic neighbor who is shrouded in mystery. Both are still being haunted by their past and are not ready for a new commitment, but when fate repeatedly puts them in each other's paths, they can't deny their attraction for each other. Life challenges them both with secrets, lies, and broken trusts, and confronts them with their pasts. They both must learn to be brave enough to love again. *** Story is previously called "Paradise Lies"
