"Don't worry little Gracie, here, look at the butterflies," Carter whispered, waving at the collage of glowing critters pinned to the ceiling of my bedroom.
I buried my face in his side. I was trying not to cry. I wanted to be strong.
His voice was always calm and collected at times like these. I never quite knew how he managed.
"I promise you... there will be a day when all of this will come to an end, and you'll find your wings, Grace. You'll know, you'll understand."
Carter wrapped his arms around me and pulled me close and I had never felt so secure in my entire life.
Ever since Grace was a little girl, her brother had always been there for her. He had always stuck by her side. Through thick and thin. No matter what.
That is until one day he goes missing without a trace, leaving Grace torn to pieces. Soon enough, a whole series of events begin to collapse around each other making situations a hell of a lot more complicated.
Will Grace have the capability to find her wings?

I screamed out in agony and clutched my hip. There was a rock, stained with blood, that lay next to me. I saw a pair of oncoming rubber boots in the distance. I began to cry hysterically as I knew my freedom was short lived. "You! I thought you would cooperate!" the kidnapper screamed. I looked up at his furious face and gasped in horror as I saw a whip in his hand. "I should've never trusted you. You are my daughter, you stay with me.

I refuse to look at him. "Look at me." He says. I turn to him and look at him. "Everything's going to be fine." He says. I shake my head. "Not without Madison." I say as I shake myself free from his grasp. **** ew this is so cringey and it's terrible but i wrote it when i was like 12 so....Complete
Forever or Never
{Idea from Maximum Ride, but I've changed a whole bunch of stuff, and the storyline works differently} The world is ending, and 99% of the Earth’s population may die! There’s only one person that can stop it. Jannice is 16 and just a normal girl. 98% normal. The other 2% is avian. She's grown up as a hostage at a lab in Colorado where geneticists have experimented on her and her 6 friends. But now that they've escaped, there's one easy task. Just one. Then they're free. Jannice just has to save the world. Her righthand man Liam was created to support her, and Lily was created to be her guide. And Harry, Niall, Louis, and Zayn? They were created to help. But everything's going wrong. They keep getting followed, everyone seems to be an Extenguisher, the flock splits, and Lily has predicted Liam's death! And Niall's blindness isn't helping either. Even with newfound powers, how can 7 fugitives save the planet? And are two romances blooming? Will the flock save the world, stop the 99% plan, and be free forever; or will they be retired? ========== I've been doing everything I can to keep the flock safe-how could I be on THEIR side?! A soft knock cam on the door. "Jannice, you OK?" came Liam's voice. Tear ran down my face and I didn't answer. "I'm coming in" I heard the door open. "NO!" I cried, but he ignored it and sat on the bed. "What's up?" he asked, staring at me as I lay at his feet. I knew I could tell him, if anyone. "I saw me in the mirror...as an Extenguisher, but when I felt my skin, it was just skin. Liam?" "HM?" he stroked my wet hair soothingly. "If...if I ever went bad, promise me youll protect he flock...from me" His eyes grew. "I-I promise..." "Thank you" my voice cracked. "And you'll be the leader?" "Sure" his face looked concerned. "I just can't see it" I took a deep breath. "Me neither, but whatever happens" he arose and knelt down beside me. "We'll be fine" he pecked my forehead and walked out.Complete
Bird Wings
Wren's life is about to change forever - but not how she expects it to. Kidnapped on her wedding day, she finds herself trapped in a mountain cave, unable to return home with no company outside of the inhuman creature that took her. *** "Wait, Wren! Not that way!" It was darker here and panic limited her vision, but she could see it reaching for her; its wings like two huge looming shadows behind it. "Get away! Don't touch me! No, let me go!" She shrieked. She screamed in earnest as a hand took hold of her arm, and then even more when her own hand reached for something to hang onto and grasped at empty air. She had been scrambling towards a sudden drop! The hands hauled her back, but she still struggled. She didn't want to look at it, and she still wasn't sure she wouldn't rather take her chances with the open air instead. "Stop it, I'm not going to hurt you! You'll hit your head on the rock or something. Wren, please!" It knew her name. Somehow it knew her. She was going to die! "Let me go! Stop touching me!" She was sitting on the rocky floor now with her back against an uneven wall, and it was trying to pin her down and hold her still. She kept her eyes turned away and struggled helplessly, but it was no use. It was strong like a human man too, and she couldn't keep it off of her. The wings had moved until they curved around them both and shut out a lot of the light. Its face was so near hers that she could feel its breath brushing against her skin. "Please just look at me for a second. Just look. I'm not going to hurt you." One of the hands grabbed her chin and forced her head to turn, and then she was looking straight into a pair of dark brown eyes. It had a human face too. She had been expecting something monstrous or ghastly, and the surprise made her falter for a moment. He looked young, with a bad haircut and an earnest expression on his face. "I'll let go of you, okay? Just don't lunge around like that anymore, you'll get hurt." He whispered.Complete

The Bad Boy is Back (Book 2)
(Book 2) *Contains spoilers below* "I needed more closure than what you gave me." I half lied. "It feels like an open wound someone keeps pouring salt on." His expression remained hard and cold. Almost distant. "I don't know what you want from me, Willow. You coming here isn't closing any wounds, it's just opening up old ones." I let out a sigh and rubbed my hands over my face. "I just needed to see you, okay? It's a relief to know you're even alive right now." I was begging myself not to cry. Noah shifted a little and folded his arms against his chest. "I don't know what you want me to say." "Anything is better than nothing." I said as I took a step closer. "I missed you. A lot." He peeked from under the mess of curls falling over his eyes. "You want me to tell you I missed you too? Is that what you're doing here?" I clenched my jaw shut and curled my fingers into fists at my sides. "I don't want anything from you." Scott isn't gone...yet. But he still refuses to let Noah go without harming anyone Noah cares about. It's been nine months since Scott took Noah under his wing and moved away from California. Willow hasn't seen either of them since the night Noah left with the promise to come back. When Willow finds Noah, she didn't expect what she finds. Noah's completely transformed into something she never thought she would see again. Besides the arrogant, obnoxious attitude, came countless tattoos, a ring through his lip, and a new name. With Scott still lingering and Noah's new found attitude, there's bound to be a little trouble. Way more than Willow bargained for. And maybe, just maybe, Scott isn't the real enemy.Complete
