"The beauty of a move lies not in its movement but in the thought behind it."
-Aaron Nimzowitsch
After a life of stress and detachment, Ryker Schofield finally graduates High School and jumps at the opportunity to get into a good college, moving into an apartment on the upper end of San Diego.
However, it seems fate has different plans for him.
After an encounter with a strange man on the morning of his first day, he's at a crossroads. Two fates lie before him: one that is certain and one that is the total opposite. One wrong step and he could lose the game before it even starts.
Ryker never had any friends and he wasn't a social person. His foster dad didn't care what he did since he wasn't home the majority of the time anyway. Ryker had clawed his way to the top and he decided he wanted to try something else for a change. He decided he didn't want to be a pawn anymore.
He thought he was going into some club that would help him with his life, maybe a group of nerds following some fake quest. He thought it was a joke, that the man had either been lying or insane.
What he didn't expect was to be brought to a foreign country hidden in the pockets of the universe where magic, monsters, and royalty were alive and very much thriving. He didn't expect to be admitted into a group, called The King's Guard, which was weighed by the duty to protect the country and the King.
But after he's given his first mission, he's determined to prove himself worthy of the title "Knight."
Unfortunately, he miscalculated which side of the board he was on.

Fading Boundaries Again
Olivia Wren grew up in a strict household-the kind with rules for everything: when to go to bed, where she could be, and constant location tracking the second she left the house. Most teenagers would've rebelled. But not Liv. She followed every rule down to the last letter. So when she got to college, it made sense that she'd use her freedom to the fullest. Parties, late nights, no one watching her every move. For a while, it felt like everything she'd missed out on. But after two years, the freedom starts to lose its shine. With nothing solid to fall back on, Liv lets herself go. It takes hitting a low point to realize that the girl she's become isn't who she wants to be anymore. Then there's Jace Rylan Camden. The kind of guy Liv's sworn off. He shows up to class drunk on the first day-not exactly the best first impression. He's an athlete, lives in a frat house, and hangs out with his loud group of friends. Basically, everything Liv's tried to leave behind. But when casual class interactions turn into seeing each other outside of it, Liv starts to question whether she's really moved on-or if Jace might be different from what she thought. Especially when the two stumble into a fake relationship- kind of will be hard to keep away from each other this way huh?Complete
Indecisive (COMPLETED)
After my escape, and yet another but brutal last year at the same high school, my school sent me their condolences and made sure to inform my future college of my past. I didn't bother to say goodbye to my "friends" or Preston, my ex. The police allowed me to change things, including changing my name & hair, but other than that, I was still me. Once I got my new identity, I tried to start anew. Moving me to a new place was the best thing the police and Dr Matthews allowed me to do, but it still didn't stop this nudging feeling that kept coming over me. I don't know why, but for some reason, I could tell that my kidnapper (Mr Blue) was going to come back for me. --- On the two year anniversary since my abduction, the past comes back to haunt me. The only thing that's changed is that I'm not the only one on his Hit List. My friends are too. I was finally happy after what happened to me during my junior year of high school.

Don't Fall for Me
I was doing just fine my junior year of high school. I mean I did pick fights once in a while and my grades weren't the best, but I was doing okay. Xander was my best friend, actually my only friend. We didn't need anyone else, really. But then Ryker came back more badass than ever. I've hated him since we were children and apparently the feeling is mutual. We don't get along. He's cocky, arrogant, and downright mean. We were better off while he was gone. He should never have moved back. So, I stole his motorcycle. Then he told me not to fall for him. ~*~*~*~ I went over to the door and jumped back when it opened. Ryker came back in, pushing me up against one of the lockers. He locked his eyes on my lips and I gasped. He smirked. "Don't fall for me, Angel." With that, he stepped away from me and left again for good. What the hell? Did he honestly have the audacity to tell me not to fall in love with him? I clenched my fists, shoving the door open to confront the cocky jerk.Complete

And Cassadra distracts me so much I accidentally make my least favorite Cousins resident think she's my girlfriend. He doesn't believe it, of course, so I have to plead my case with her. No one knows what she's been up to lately, must be trouble, when it comes to her it always is. But this is my only chance not to make a fool of myself. We'll just fake date for a few weeks. What could go wrong? Cassandra It's sad how little it took. One minute, I was a reckless teenager drinking tequila with my best friend. All I had to worry about was my parents potential divorce, my older brother having a meltdown and having fun because it was summer. No biggie. And now everything is ruined. I'm ruined. Steven is not high on the list of people I'd go for help, but he'll have to do. It's a good way to keep a close eye on the little investigation he's running with Jere, to make sure he doesn't find out my involvement. I just hope Steven doesn't reveal our ruse if he finds out, he's already paying too much attention to me. Because that's all this is. A lie. A means to an end. I don't love him, I barely like him, I need to keep that in mind. It'll be fine. Just a few weeks. What could go wrong?
