Playing With Fire
"Rule number one," He whispers, pulling back to look me right in the eye, "Never let your guard down." He flashes me a cunning smirk as I stare at him, stunned at what he had just done. Only, he makes a mistake of turning to see what everyone else ahead of the bleachers is doing. I smirk and take a step back forcefully. Just as he turns his head back to face me, I swing my arm at his face. "No. That's rule two," I snap, "Rule one is never turn your back to your opponent."

Cold, Heartless Love (Book 1, Vespu Cronicles [Lesbian Story])
In the year 2184, The United States has split into five nations; one of which, The Plymouth Republic, is cold, mechanical, stark, and bleak. Every two years, the government collects 50 babies to be trained from infancy to be the most ruthless killers the world has ever known: fast, emotionless, and seemingly undetectable. They are employed wherever the government thinks there is a threat. Johanna Runner is 18, and the top of her class. She has 72 kills to her name, and was in one of the earliest groups of babies. Nearly every student in the assassin training regime hates her, because they all want to be the Grand Magistrate's favorite. There have been five attempts on her life by students. One day, she is sent on a mission to kill the head of a resistance group. It is a fairly simple mission, with no hitches, until Johanna catches a glimpse of the leader's daughter, and feels her first emotion in years: Love at first sight. These are the Vespu Chronicles. This is Cold, Heartless Love. (This book has an appendix. Please look at the last chapter for any terms or words that need explained.) ••FIRST DRAFT; UNDER CONSTANT CONSTRUCTION••Complete
