The breath I allowed myself to take hitches and suddenly I feel as though I'm going to vomit. My eyes rapidly look for the nearest escape - but he's just too close. Hands trembling, legs shaking, heart pounding, chest burning, I leap to a stand and take off as fast as I can, with no specific destination. Just. Get. Away. My boot catches on an uprooted tree, sending me face first into the dirt. I start thrashing around in the dead leaves on the forest floor - effortlessly trying to get up. But before I can, a heavy force pushes me down. A rough hand grabs my hair and lifts my head upwards, making me arch painfully under my attacker's weight. I feel a hot breath by my ear and a cold, sharp object touches my neck... --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ember Smith has the same, horrible nightmare every time she shuts her eyes - until one day, the dark story that her mind tells her every single night becomes a reality.

"Three weeks. That's how long I got to have drama-free. I'm not sure what is happening to me or to Oakwood. Nothing's the same since I rolled into town and it just keeps getting weirder. Suspicious agents in suits roam the streets without an explanation. They're staring straight at me. The new Chemistry teacher is NOT who he says he is. I'm doing things I never thought I could. Like, mutant-level things... Lauren, Luc's dead twin sister, hid something from everyone. Something important that may have lead to her demise and that could lead to ours. Hunters are in town. I never knew four words could contain so much dread and terror. I'd rather deal with the Wanderers. I'm on the brink of a breakdown. I need help..." BOOK #2 IN THE SERIES! Ignorance is not bliss... In the wake of ridding Oakwood of Wanderers, other dangers come creeping in and they're somehow linked to Luc's absent twin. The past returns to haunt the mutants in inconspicuous ways. Riley's life is yet again in jeopardy, but this time she's not alone. Luc and his family are all thrown into the teetering balance. More secrets are uncovered. A trap dawns on them all. Invisible threats start crawling from all directions. Who is the real enemy? TW : behaviours of depression and PTSD are displayed. I don't name them, but one of the character will be struggling a lot. It may not be suitable for everybody. Other adult matters are briefly included, but nothing explicit or intense. Rewriting specifications : the main points of the story and end of the book will remain the same, am just going to change a few ways of getting there and adding some extra spice. Feel free to pause the read until the REWRITING sign disappears.
