A war that lasted centuries and ended a decade ago still plagues Cinder, cursing those who descend from the vanquished. Pollution threatens to completely wreak an environment that has already been on the verge of collapse for years. To top it off, unnatural fires blaze the lands, and no one knows the source of it or what it means. So every year, they sacrifice one of the Marked-a sub-species of human that are treated as slaves- to the fire, a gift in exchange for the lives of everyone else. But one day, a mysterious figure appears, questioning the treatment of their kin that no Marked has ever thought of before. Later, when the Fire is snuffed out, leaving a cryptic message in the ashes, the true cost of rebellion is unveiled.

Illusions and Lies (A Super Smash Brothers fan fiction)
NOTICE: THIS STORY IS AN OLD DRAFT. It is currently in the process of being rewritten. For your sake (and mine) please go check out "ILLUSIONS AND LIES: REWRITE" on my profile. While I'm not stopping you from reading this- especially if you're impatient and want to know how the story goes- please do keep in mind that aspects of this story are unpolished in this book. "we thought we were special. turns out, we were wrong." A group of teenagers who live in a place known only as "The Compound" are led to believe that they are the last people on the planet, aside from their ever-present caretakers. The Caretakers study them and their abilities, never once letting them know of the thriving outside world. In the outside world, everybody has abilities, known as "Gifts." The oppressive government prevents people from using these Gifts properly. A faction of rebels is on the rise, determined to retrieve the children they lost to this cruel government and create a fairer world for all. "and we don't like being wrong..." Modern futuristic AU. This story will contain mature themes and triggering topics, such as somewhat detailed descriptions of blood and violence, suicide, depression, homophobia, child abuse, and death. I do not own the characters, but I do own the plot. Please do not steal the plot or elements of this story.Complete
Secrets Are For Keeping
Nova Carlson has been alive for sixteen years. Years of secrets. Years of lies. Years of living in New Pangaea. Ever since its start twenty years ago, when all boundaries between countries became nonexistent and all of humanity was forced to conform into one simple world, New Pangaea has been filled with unrest, criminal activity, protests, and rebellion. Now they've found a solution. A device that could expose any criminals in seconds, could tell the entire world every and any secret anyone may have. The idea behind it was to prevent crime and protect the world, while simultaneously promoting unity. To anyone, this idea may seem like the saving grace New Pangaeans have been waiting for. Except Nova has a secret. **This is one of the first stories I've ever written (finished years ago), and I'm uploading it just because I thought it'd be cool to share it! That said, there may be some mistakes/other plot problems I have not yet addressed, since I haven't had time to focus on perfecting this story yet :)Complete![[2] Telepath [X Men: Days of Future Past]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/232112673-256-k164f3c.jpg)

Rebel, trying to find her own way in the world so that she doesn't lose herself again the way that she did a bunch of years ago to the fear that overtook her. She tries to use her abilities that are now both quite under control, to track down younger mutants, to try and help them. Thomas is being Circuit, now working for a underground mutant network ever since Erik found himself locked up. He is finding new ways of getting in places that would be considered illegal through the electrical systems. While in the future, those same three Kinetics along with few others are fighting a clearly losing battle on the government, goin' against the Sentinels, who are specifically created to destroy mutants. Now, their future selves enact a desperate plan hoping to not only save themselves from what they are in now, but their past selves from the torture that they themselves went through, hunted down by not only the Sentinels, but the humans as well. {Set in X-Men: Days of Future Past} I only own Atlanta (Dive), Rebel (Instinct), Thomas (Circuit), and Sierra (Element).
