To be beautiful

I've heard the old stories. "It's what's inside that matters", "beauty is only skin deep", but that was years ago. Somewhere along the line some genius decided that no one ever listened to those feel good quotes anyway. They were only ever there to make ugly people feel better.
For nineteen year old Hattie, it's finally happening. She's going on her first mission on her own. It's a dream come true to finally not have to be watched by her brother or anyone else. Being alone amongst beautiful people in The Place is easier than she thought, but when the mission doesn't go quite as planned and one of the Nobles ends up coming home with her, their planes to uproot the government quickly take off.
It's not what's on the outside that matters, it's how devious you are on the inside.

Instinct
(This novel is under revision as of 2-5-19 up until I feel the true motivation to scrub through most of my older work. Also this summary is something to be fixed but until then) A thousand years ago the extermination of Earth from unknown circumstances brought about the end of humanity for the planet. The end of animals, most of nature, technology and everything that advanced in between. After Earth's destruction a new life began with the survivors of the near extinction of humanity. They constructed a singular civilization encased in a wall for protection from outside forces, built on the hope to reproduce and thrive with the life they were forced into. Zykard would be the start of a second life for humans But within that time of rebirth some of the survivors surged with horrors of Pre-Reearth. Heresy, treachery, riots, thefts, murders and revolutions. A need to for order was introduced, and brought about the leader of Zykard and seven factions of ten people. A thousand years later theres a change. An outsider appears and seemingly becomes the new leader of Zykard, bringing more hardships with their hopes. Crimson, a seventeen year old girl faces the verge of adulthood. The final trials being the only gap between her new reality. A new injection to be given to everyone after the trials. She will face the ugly second face of what Zykard really is behind the curtains. Face pain she never thought would be possible and lose what she loves the most. She will understand what it's like to become apart of the Zykard.Complete
No Saints In District Nine
In a future where the elite trade lives like currency and loyalty is enforced through collars and control, survival isn't a right-it's a contract. Miku and Clara were just sixteen when they escaped a death maze with nothing but blood in their mouths and hope in their lungs. They thought that meant forever. It wasn't. Clara vanished. Word said she was dead. Traded. Sold. Miku learned to stop trusting word. Three years later, Miku is no longer the girl Clara kissed in the ruins. She's a weapon now. Hardened. Trained. Built for vengeance. The mission is simple: locate the missing. Extract, if alive. Eliminate, if not. Until she finds Clara again-alive, changed, and wearing the collar of the enemy. Torn between orders and memory, between the girl she once knew and the one the world turned Clara into, Miku has to make a choice: finish the mission... or finish what they started. No heroes. No safe endings. Just two broken girls caught in a system that doesn't care if they live or burn.Complete
The Enemy

"a girl playing?" i pull a disgusted look to him. "what's that supposed to mean?" - "he's forbidden to do any building work for 2 days." he sighed, exhausted. i crossed my arms in disappointment. "are you twisting my fucking neck in?" "what kind of punishment is that? compared to that, mine was like getting a pole shoved up my asshole!" -Complete
Sibbyverse One: Cold Call
When no one knows you're alive, its liberating and confining. It's one of the best things that can happen to you, especially if you're a villain! You can be someone else, live the life you never could, do the things you only dreamt of! You would think, at least. However, the best thing you can do is start over new and embrace anonymity, new horizons, more opportunity. Until, that is, the holder of the lien on your life cold calls you home -- now what? Act like you didn't get the call? Take a third shot at redemption? Or better yet -- do something bold and reclaim your life? Only if you've got the guts to own it - but you just may end up dead, for real this time. The Deets: * once weekly chapter drops * no profanity, no graphic sex/violence scenes * this a basically book one of a series I'm working on so expect more! ~~~And btw the pics shown here all came from Pinterest ~~~ * although the story is showing up here serialized - I actually didn't/am not writing it as a serialized story, in the event a chapter feels chopped off. Each named section is one whole actual chapter that's split up to show up once a week here 👌 Book cover credit link from Pinterest: https://pin.it/1k5tRG8OWComplete
