The world lay in destruction.
After what scientists believed to be the end of the world, cities lay in ruins, forests burned to the ground, and billions of people are dead.
But now, 100 years later, the skeleton of the world is slowly healing back together.
The organization that first predicted 'The Ending' has created a serum which gives humans supernatural abilities. But this serum only works for a certain percentage of the population. And so, every 16 year old is obligated to take The Test to join one of The Elite.
Cadence Windsor is now 16 years old, as of last week. And the test she is about to take will change her life more than she could ever imagine.

Block 8, Cell 18
WARNING. Over 18's only. Contains depictions of rape and violence. Cadence was a typical young person, living life as expected, in the manner she'd been raised. Be a good person, work hard, see the positives, etc. Yeah, student life was stressful, but that was expected at university. Life was good, you just had to live it to its full potential. But all too soon, photography student Cadence McKenna, discovered the world around her wasn't as beautiful as it looked through her camera lens. A genetic condition had crept its way across the entire population, causing a global deficit. It allowed a frightening black market to bloom in the shadows. Men with no morals and deep pockets, no longer had to struggle to find a woman, there was place they could go where there were plenty to choose from. James Cooper was happy to sell the company of his women. Their babies fetched a high price too, in society's seedy underbelly. When Cadence uncovered the truth, it changed her outlook on life forever. Some things could never be undone. Could she bring justice down on those who needed it? But, do all of them truly deserve it? Is anyone really too far from redemption? Cadence holds her own key to a happy life. Maybe that key will unlock other doors too.Complete![Damsel[ed]: No Rescue Required](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/59890819-256-k125283.jpg)
Damsel[ed]: No Rescue Required
***FINISHED! AND FULLY UPLOADED*** "Your friend was right," the villain says, tilting her chin towards the moon. My mouth's on autopilot now as I mentally uncurl from the fetal position. "Uh, first, why do you know my friends? Second, about what?" Her eyes light up like jack-o'-lanterns. "You're adorable when you're scared out of your mind." ***Now a Wattpad featured story*** Having superpowers is awesome, unless you're Angelos Fibbs. When a kidnap attempt leaves him with incredible superpowers and a price on his head, this one-liner-loving dork must choose: hurt or be hurt. Supervillain or damsel in distress. He's a lover, not a telekinetic black-leather-wearing killer, and he wants to keep it that way. The fates of his best friends hang in the balance, and if he can't face his biggest fears, he'll become a pawn to a powerful underground whose dark intentions could destroy his city, and possibly, the world. Life just got messy for the clean-freak super. WARNING: Mild swearing, and a 'spit' load of dorky alternatives. Nerdy humor, cliffhangers, plot twists, fights, and a love triangle so complex it's more or less a love blob. May cause spontaneous shipping. Also includes enough Star Wars references to make George Lucas cringe. Read at your own risk. COMPLETE *** Highest ranking #1 in Adventure on July 8, 2016Complete
Post Plague Kidnapping - Published!
It's been five years since the plague struck. Leah knows there are other survivors, but she's avoiding them. She is doing just fine on her own. Surviving after everyone she knew died has made her physically strong and honed her intelligence, but she is emotionally devastated. There is nothing to fear if you don't make yourself emotionally vulnerable. James has spent the last five years helping to build up a colony of survivors. He believes in the small town they have populated and its mission to save humanity from extinction. He and his small team of men find scattered people and bring them in. Over the last two centuries, women have fought for and won more and more rights, gaining equality with men. Society, law, and technology bolsters and enforces these rights, but now they are gone. Women's equality with men is over. There are just too few of them. They aren't lesser but greater, more important, more valuable than men. Men are expendable. Men can stay outside alone if they like, but all women must be brought inside the safety of the Colony and properly taken care of. James has been searching the area Leah lives in. Her time of solitude is up. Leah sparks something in James he's never felt before. He's not letting this one get away, certainly not twice.

[ "Defective" ] | BFB/TPOT fanfic [canceled]
Ekura no longer works on this book, nothing happened i just didn't want to add unnecessary work for him, regardless you should still follow him! :] [follow ekura on twitter @ekura123] [] Subjects were made in this facility, separated into categories and put into life threatening experiments. They know they can't do much to stop this so they simply comfort each other the best ways possible. However, recently many of the subjects seem to want to know if there is anything more out there other than this facility they call home. Now, most seeking a place where they may not even be accepted in, they encounter prototypes and upgrades to ensure they stay in one place. It's only a matter of time before someone gets reset into nothing but a soulless shell, or worse, deleted forever... [] Characters are fluffy here so if you don't like it please just leave you don't need to read this I don't want to know that you don't like them :( ‼️WARNING - This book contains a lot of gore, if you dislike that then please read something else.‼️ ❗️note that there will be no warnings unless it's: suicide, forced vomiting, self harm, and other stuff but i'll make sure to put them at the top of the page!!❗️ All characters belong to JacknJellify [This is an au] ( Some characters may be OOC )Complete
Amongst the Stars
My lungs and muscles burned. Everything in my body begging me to stop but I had to keep moving. I had to get away. I rather die than go back to that lab but this building was a maze! Never ending hallways and big metal sliding doors that you see in space movies. All I could hear was the patter of my bare feet, heavy breathing, and my heart beating in my ears. "Hey!!! Stop her! Whatever you do, do NOT let her get away!!" A man yelled after me but I couldn't look back. Even as I heard the whoosh of metal doors opening and the thudding of boots chasing after me.Complete
From Darkness Comes - Book 2 in the Ash and Ember Series
She survived the end. But it's only the beginning. Ever thought escaping Earth meant survival. Instead, it meant sacrifice. She lost her parents, her sister, and the two boys she loves-left behind to an uncertain fate. Now, on a distant planet she never asked to call home, Ever reunites with the brother she thought was dead. But this new world is not the refuge it promised to be. Her sister's haunting last words echo in her mind: "Your friends may be your foes, and your foes may be your only chance for survival." With her memories fractured by reimaging, Ever struggles to tell truth from illusion, ally from enemy-even within herself. As a genetically modified human, she carries a dangerous secret: she may be the only woman capable of creating life. To Environettix, the ruthless corporation pulling the strings, that makes her their most valuable-and most vulnerable-target. And she isn't the only one. The other Mods brought from Earth are caught in the same web of lies, their very existence exploited for an agenda darker than they ever imagined. But the planet itself holds secrets of its own. And Ever is beginning to realize a chilling truth: they don't belong here. And when something doesn't belong, it's only a matter of time before it's erased. *This is Book 2 in The Ash and Ember SeriesComplete
Brianna Acero and the Second One's Return
One hundred years ago, war threatened the existence of humanity. One man's actions might bring it back. During WWV, battles weren't won with bombs, but with science. Specifically, with DNA. Now, a person's place in society is determined by their genetic code. If your Gift is as mundane as knowing what time it is without needing a watch, you're probably a Norm, but if it's so extraordinary that it's considered a danger to the public, congratulations, you're an Elite. Seventeen-year-old Brianna Acero doesn't fall into either category. She is the only girl in the world who has no Gift at all. When life throws her a curveball and Brianna finds herself living among the Elites, she begins to uncover layers upon layers of secrets about her own past, but there is one secret that was not meant to be unlocked. Now, there is no way of putting it back in its cage. The Second One is back, and this time he won't be so forgiving. His actions could bring about a new world war, and the end of Gifted society along with it. Only Brianna is unique enough to stop him, but will she rise to the challenge? Revenge is a dangerous game, and not everyone is ready to play it.Complete

The oldest sister Meg (21) has dreams and visions about the world's near future. She's also very intuitive. Perhaps if she were better at seeing her own future maybe her personal life wouldn't be in shambles?Complete
