The Number. We all dread it, and yet no one can escape it. Everyone receives it on the week of our eighteenth's birthday, rather we like it or not. We all take the Test and get on with our lives until we reach whatever number we received, most of us living over the age of seventy. Unless you are one of the few with a number lower than thirty. Or like me, with a number I didn't even think was possible: 18.
Embark on Fira's journey as she escapes from her premature death and finds herself enrolled into a secret rebel camp alongside fellow supposed-to-be-dead Brad Simpson.
When the world you know turns out to be a masquerade, you fight until justice is served.

Submit (Book 1, The Karyln Trials)
*Completed* We are only a number... How would you feel if when you were born, your whole life was set in front of you? If how you were treated was all dependent on where in the year you were born? Well, welcome to Karyln, formerly known as the United States before World War three and four. In Karyln, parents try to plan pregnancies to end right around the first of the year because when you're born decides how the rest of your life will be. The first boy and girl born gets the number one, they are projected to receive the best life possible. The next boy and girl get the number two, and I think it's pretty easy to guess how the rest goes. The only thing standing between the elite society and their perfect lives, is The Trial. Every year, on the first of June, everybody who has or is having their eighteenth birthday joins. It's a race to the finish line in teams of four and you could either become a higher or lower number depending on when you reach the end. This was created in hope to give those with lower numbers a chance to climb up the ranks. The Trial then developed into more. Pairs of boys and girls with numbers one through thirty live, while the others with numbers of thirty-one and beyond are purged to maintain population control. Oh how our country loves to dig bigger holes for itself. My name is Adaline Grace, and I'm number twenty-two. ~~~~~~~~~~ Awards: 1st Place in The Creative Awards (Third Edition) 1st Place in The Astrologist Awards 2020 2nd Place in The Unknown Writers AwardsComplete

Controlled by Choices
There are but a variety of emotions that NANCY experiences throughout this journey. A few of those emotions would be love, jealousy, and regret while she discovers the world around her. She will have to do a lot to win the heart of her true love, the anxious James Finch. Even if it means resorting to violence. Even if it means ending a few lives. Will she ever have James wrapped around her finger, or will she discover some things that she shouldn't have? Sci-Fi Drama is a more accurate way to describe the story. I only am putting this on Wattpad because I don't know where else to keep track of every chapter separately or where to publish it. Also because haha funy website Yes, the mature theme is prevalent. This snippet wont be completely mature as of now since this is but a preview of my work. I won't release more things beyond the tip of the iceberg If there were an age rating for this the final product would probably be 16+ or more.Complete

I couldn't help but blush and squirm under his scrutinising gaze. He slowly approached me and I lowered my head, my heart pounding in my chest. I gasped as he held my chin, forcing me to look up at him. My eyes met his dark brown ones. They were clouded with an emotion that I couldn't decipher. "You're wearing my shirt." He whispered, his breath fanning my face, making me weak to my knees. I found myself grasping his shoulders to stop myself from collapsing to the ground. His finger traced my jaw and then trailed down to my collarbone, igniting sparks everywhere he touched me. - This is Book 1 of the "MY HEART" series. Sequel is King Of My Heart.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.
