Her Sire
In the state of Pennsylvania, nineteen year old Evelynn (19) was a bit of an outcast. Its her senior year and she did her best to fit in at school but being the black sheep of her family didn't make her life any easier as it was hard to confide in the ones who raised her whereas her younger sister was perfect at everything. School, making friends, the student council president, and dating the most popular jock in school. She tended to keep to herself, at school and at home, it hurt her heart feeling like she couldn't find her place until one evening on her late night jog, Evelynn can feel eyes watching her and by the time her gaze fell upon the shadow figure, she woke up in a ditch on the outskirts of town, her clothes bloody and all her senses strengthened times a hundred. Wanting to go home, things are not as easy going as she hoped, and now, she has her families blood on her hands. Lost and no longer sure what to do, Evelynn runs, to where she doesn't know to which she finds a school that was created to help those like 'her' and then she meets the woman who she knows by her scent alone, but what's odd is that despite never meeting in her life, the woman recongizes her as someone dear to her.

Do we truly know those we consider as our family? This is the last year before the beginning of the rest of Cara and Mia lives! Mia Carter still has one more year to spend on Angel Island before leaving, with her best friend, for Montreal to pursue their dream careers. The only problem is that she has to hold on without murdering her nemesis: Austin Coopler. At least, that's what she thought before Cara suddenly vanishes on the evening of the first day of school. No news, no leads, and even stranger, neither the police nor her family seem to care. But Mia is convinced that this disappearance is not a simple runaway case. Caught up in an investigation that goes beyond a mere disappearance, she has no choice but to cooperate with her archenemy and a group of friends who have known each other since childhood. TW - sensitive topics This story contains a lot of references to addiction (alcohol and drugs), and as the chapters progress, they will become more serious. Furthermore, the main character (Mia) suffers from diagnosed chronic anxiety, which I have portrayed to the best of my own experience. All characters, places, and events are fictional (products of my imagination only). Protected story.Complete
