Head down, eyes up. Hide, Don't let it inside.
That was the code Marah Monroe lived by. All she'd ever known was impermanence. Constantly on the move, Marah never let herself become too attached to the small towns she traveled through, or their inhabitants. When a kind couple offers her a more permanent shelter, she decides to try something different.
Little did she know, her suspension of motion allowed many interested parties to hunt her down. Some good. Some very bad.
Marah was officially sick of shadows. Sick of hiding within them, and overall sick of being one herself. Would these new additions to her life help her solidify, or would she disappear into herself entirely?

He walks forward, pressing the blade into his throat. His skin is taunt against the serrated edge, and blood beads around it until it drips down his neck in a crimson trail. My eyes widened, wanting it. He is looking at me with those dangerous, glinting green eyes, daring me. "Kill me, then. If you feel nothing, you can kill me.

The Lost Hybrid (Completed)
I felt the bed dip as he sat down on the other side but I focused solely on my task until I was done. "This is a pillow barrier. Meaning, you don't breach this side of the pillows." I instructed, my voice firm. "What if I don't want anything between us?" Phoenix said in a husky voice, and I risked a glance. Bad choice. His eyes were dark and his gaze was on my lips, to my chest, then back to my lips. "Eyes up here, buddy." I snapped the third time his eyes went down to my chest. All he did was turn off the lights. When it was dark, he whispered," Can't I admire what is mine?" I had no answer, and turned on my side. He sighed. Despite taking two naps today, I was out cold the minute my head hit my pillow. I could only hope that in the morning, the pillow barrier was still there. ***** Adira has a secret, one she would do anything to protect.
