That answer can change anything and everything in your life. From the moment on when you start asking yourself these kind of questions. That means you aren't happy with the situation you are in now. Just like Alexandra Montgomery. Alexandra Montgomery questioned herself a lot of timed in the past four years. In the past four years, she dreamed and imagined herself in a different life. A better life. A life where she isn't locked up. No a life where she has a family that care about her and would do anything to protect her. A good life. Her life isn't good, it was hard and never good. She didn't received the love she desired from her family and friends. Her boyfriend was no support for her when she followed the wrong path at the wrong time. She wasn't lucky at all with the things that happened in the past. But maybe her "what if" will be reality after all. Only if she dares to ask for it. DISCLAIMER: This story is not edited, I repeat NOT edited. Yes it needs a ton of work but not edited.

"They took my sister. Now I'm taking her back." Seventeen years ago, humans started developing supernatural abilities. Comic books came true as the first person flew, created fire, mind-read. The world entered a new age where people who could do special things were revered and admired. That all changed when one man lost control of his power and unleashed a huge explosion in a crowded shopping centre, killing over a thousand others. A series of fights involving superhumans broke out, resulting in the destruction of multiple cities and hundreds upon hundreds of further lives lost. The government began hunting down those extraordinary people with the assistance of a specialised unit: trained in recognising different abilities. Suddenly powers became something scary, uncontrollable and dangerous, that nobody wanted to own up to having. Seventeen years after the Explosion, Amelie Rose Carmichael is the daughter of the man who is in charge of hunting down and imprisoning these people. She enjoys a comfortable life, protected from any threats against her. But when Amelie develops an ability without warning, she must try to keep it hidden from her family, her friends, and above all her father. Can she keep a secret? Will she use her powers to help the rebel organisation that has approached her? And what secrets are the people around her hiding?

When Worlds Collide
In the distant future, Earth lies in ruin, a desolate landscape scarred by the ravages of time and neglect. Cities crumble, forests fade to dust, and the remnants of civilization cling desperately to the shadows of a once-thriving world. Amidst this bleak panorama, a group known as the Treaders emerges-individuals bestowed with extraordinary abilities that connect them deeply to the earth and its truths. With great abilities, Treaders can summon storms, grow life from barren soil, and even speak to the remnants of the past. Their gifts, however, come with a heavy burden: they are the last hope for restoring balance to a fractured planet, but they are also hunted by factions that crave their abilities for domination. A girl, broken by captivity and lost in silent pleas may just hold the key to ridding the world of its desolation. what will happen, When worlds Collide? *Amaris stood at the center of the pit, her back straight, her face pale but set with quiet resolve. Her long dark hair falling in tresses down her back, framing her soft face perfectly. She was bruised, battered from the days spent in this cursed place, but still, she stood. Still, she fought to live. A muscle clenched in my jaw. They would not take her from me.* #1 in Coexistence 3/20/25 #9 in Confinement 3/20/25 Trigger warning; depicted scenes of violence and gore

The Darkness in the Light
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!Complete
