Robyn (15) must learn to live with the facial disfigurement that she now has due to an attack at a foster home she was forced to reside in after her mother's untimely death. Now living with family that she never knew she had, things seem to be going well, even her faithful puppy Animal would agree. 
But, a new teacher with all the good will in the world, is about to open a chapter of fresh hell in Robyn's life. Battling supernatural evil, as well as natural evil, Robyn finds that 'normal' does not exist.
If Robyn can live with the scars on her skin, can she also survive the scars on her soul?

The Darkness in the Light by djscloud
25 parts Complete
For over a hundred years, humanity has lived in fear of the monsters that roam the streets, lurking in the drains below. Women and their daughters hide, protected in their homes, while men take their sons through the world, teaching them the responsibilities of having a family to feed and dangers to avoid. No one leaves the home unless it's essential, and most of the world prefers it that way. Until one girl spends her days perched on her window seat, looking down at the world below and dreaming of a different life. Her eyes are always drawn to the dark, ominous drains in the street, the ones that often blink open to swallow and person whole. One day, that person is her little brother, snatched right in front of her from their arms of their father and gone forever. When a person is snatched, they never return, and life goes on without them. But she can't accept that. Breaking all the rules, all the things she's ever known, she braves the world outside her little townhouse and goes on a mission into the darkness to find her brother. Only, it's soon her that becomes the one lost to the drains. To survive she must rediscover her world, and in the process, rediscover herself. She will be reunited with old friends, gain new ones, find out deeper secrets about her past than she ever could have imagined, and learn that the world is even more corrupt than she always thought. *** This story contains sexist ideology, mention of cheating, some gruesome scenes, and a whole lot of monsters and darkness. It isn't overly mature... there isn't much explicit language or sexual scenes, but there is a bit of violence, so just keep that in mind... and despite all that negativity, ENJOY!

A Young Woman: Twenty-two year-old Eva Mallory has never felt truly herself. But that's normal, right? Especially given that her only remaining family member, her grandmother, is gone, and Eva has to navigate post-college life alone. And while most young women have to deal with the struggles of #adulting - roommates, new relationships, and work - they don't also have to deal with an edgy, electric feeling pulsing just beneath their skin. Recently, these strange feelings have gotten stronger. So have Eva's dreams, dreams full of energy, foreboding, and featuring her missing mother. A Secret World: It must be pure bad luck that causes Eva to stumble, one night, into a battle between a demonic madman and a powerful sorcerer. But she soon finds herself thrust into a violent world, at turns familiar and strange. It's a world where loyalty is demanded, alliances are tentative, and power is the ultimate currency. A Latent Power: As Eva finds herself used as a pawn between two cataclysmic forces, she realizes that her bad luck is no coincidence. Eva has no idea who she really is. And to survive, she must find out. But what if who she really is...is a monster?
