Blair Evermore: a simple kid with a complicated life.
With a brother that would do anything for her and two FBI agents for parents, she doesn't have the safest life.
She was never the first to volunteer her parents for career day, and "bring your child to work" was a foreign concept.
But she liked it that way.
She didn't know any different.
Blair was content with the way things were, because even though they were distant, she always knew her parents loved her.
But all that changed on her nineth birthday.
That's when she experienced the hardest year anyone could imagine.
One month that felt like a lifetime.
A week full of tears and sorrow.
And one day that changed her life forever.
October 27th, the day her parents died.
Killed during a last-minute undercover job, Amanda and Bryan Evermore were prepared for the inevitable.
That didn't make it any easier for their children though.
Grayson and Blair's whole world turned upside down.
Neither of them knew what to do, but they coped the best they could.
Now, seven years later, Grayson is missing.
Without any leads or witnesses, the FBI is having trouble finding him.
That was until Blair got involved.
With a letter from her parent's murderers, another from Grayson's potential kidnappers, and a whole lot of will power, she leads her new-found FBI buddies through riddles, secrets, and puzzles, gathering as much information as they can to get justice for her family.
She knew exactly what she was going to do once they found the people who destroyed her all those years ago.
She would make them pay.
But sometimes what we plan doesn't always work out quite right.

Her Side Of Silence
. On the day her twin sister "died," or that what she thought everything she knew shattered. She remembered the scream, the fall, the blood-and then the world changed. In the chaos, no one asked her what really happened. They didn't care to hear her version. Her parents, once the warmth in her world, turned cold overnight. The brothers who loved her most began to look at her like a monster. Whispers filled the house. Accusations behind closed doors. She was blamed, judged, and punished-not by strangers, but by her own blood. And then, without warning, they sent her away. A boarding school in another country, they said, as if it were for her own good. But it wasn't a school-it was a cage dressed in discipline. Far from home, far from love, she entered a place no child should ever be. Hidden behind iron gates and smiling lies, that school was a breeding ground for cruelty. Every corner held secrets. Every night was a nightmare. And no one ever came looking for her. Not a single letter. Not a single call. They forgot her- Years passed. . And then came the call. Her family wanted her to return. As if they still had the right to call her back. But the girl who left never came back-not really. What returns now is someone colder, quieter, sharper. She tells herself she feels nothing for them. That she's learned to live without love. That hatred is easier than hope. But buried beneath the years and pain, there is still a small voice inside her-a child's voice-aching to be believed, to be seen, to be forgiven for a crime she never committed. Will her family finally face what they've done? And when the truth comes out-will it set her free, or break her all over again?
Secret Agent, Counterspy (𝑪𝒐𝒎𝒑𝒍𝒆𝒕𝒆𝒅) | Rewritten From Chapter 51+
Completed December 2017. Highest ranking #9 in Mystery/Thriller! Mature topics: suicide & self harm. ••••••••••••••••••••••• Kieran and Lauriel are two opposite people that basically end up living the same life. Kieran is a fifteen year old teenager that has three siblings named Cameron, Jessica and Susannah, lives with his father as well as another unwanted person. Lauriel in the meantime has an older brother named Aaron, who is her only sibling, and truly truly hates life. She hates her family, her parents and everything in general. When she does something that she hopes her family never finds out about, she ends up going somewhere that she's never been before as well as meeting someone she doesn't remember ever meeting, but knows. All of a sudden, her life has changed (can't say for better or for worse) and she realises she's in a life or death situation. Same with Kieran. How he ends up being in the same place as Lauriel is the same (kinda) and he meets the same person as well. His life also changes. Long story short, these two totally different people, that only know each other because they go to the same school, might as well be twins because it's like they're living the same life, as mentioned earlier. Although for one person, this new life is better than the other person's.... But either way? They both end up being spies.Complete

While her best friend Cassidy snacks on brie and boys in France, Darcy Li-Quinn must face her last year of high school and the unpredictable wrath of her sister, Danica, alone. Darcy's plan for dealing with Danica and her heinous friends is simple-be invisible. But first, she's promised Cassidy she'll do 'one brave thing'. Mustering the courage to say 'hi' to the cute boy on the bus, Darcy expects rejection or indifference. She doesn't anticipate a grumpy ghost with unfinished business who needs her help. Suddenly, a quiet year of flying under the radar looks increasingly unlikely. *** Rationally, Hunter Viera knows that his brother's death wasn't his fault. But that doesn't stop his guilt about Archer invading his every thought or lessen the grief sitting heavy in his chest. Changing schools offers a fresh start, and Hunter's plan is simple-be invisible. But he hasn't counted on Darcy, or her ludicrous claim that Archer speaks to her from beyond the grave. Suddenly, a quiet year of sitting on the sidelines looks increasingly unlikely. *** This is a story about hearts and hope and public transport. This is Darcy and Hunter's story (and a little bit Archer's too). *** 'Get A Life' is my entry for Open Novella Contest 2023 and is inspired by the following prompts. 20. You finally build enough courage to talk to that cute someone you see every day on the bus. Their face turns dark as they respond "You shouldn't be able to see me." 9.
