Naomi Johnson, 25, wasn't supposed to be special. Just another office drone when the apocalypse bit down. The bite that should have turned her left a nasty scar and a craving for brains... someone else's brains, thankfully. Now, Naomi's a half-breed, stronger, faster, and healing like Wolverine on a budget. The CDC, however, sees her as a science experiment gone wrong, a ticking time bomb. On the run, Naomi navigates a ravaged city, scavenging for supplies and wielding a crowbar with the fury of a cornered badger. But she's not alone. Whispers on the wind, late-night radio broadcasts - there are others like her, out there. Now, Naomi's on a mission, dodging government goons and hordes of the undead alike. Every sunrise is a gamble, every sunset a victory. Can she find these rumored survivors, or is she doomed to be a lone wolf in a world gone mad?

What Lasts in Us
**COMPLETED** Several years after the world succumbed to a deadly strain of measles that turned those infected into crazed, mindless cannibals, Charlotte wanders the backroads alone, content with surviving day-to-day. That's until she crosses paths with Nate and his daughter, Emmi. Emmi is not and cannot be vaccinated against the disease, so the only way to protect her and give her some kind of life is to reunite her with her estranged mother in a quarantine zone on the other side of the country. Charlotte wants nothing to do with Nate or the girl who reminds her of her dead sister. She does not want to go through the grief of losing people again if something bad were to happen. And something bad does happen when Emmi is kidnapped, and it's no one's fault but Charlotte's. Through this obligation alone, Charlotte feels like it is her responsibility to get Emmi back, to right her wrong. In helping Nate pursue his kidnapped daughter, Charlotte inadvertently allows herself to feel again, to care for those other than herself. But with the clock ticking, Charlotte's new-found family may just end up like her own, dead and destroyed, if Emmi is exposed to the disease that her father tried so hard to protect her from.Complete
(REWRITING) The Skylar Experiment : Coveting
"Three weeks. That's how long I got to have drama-free. I'm not sure what is happening to me or to Oakwood. Nothing's the same since I rolled into town and it just keeps getting weirder. Suspicious agents in suits roam the streets without an explanation. They're staring straight at me. The new Chemistry teacher is NOT who he says he is. I'm doing things I never thought I could. Like, mutant-level things... Lauren, Luc's dead twin sister, hid something from everyone. Something important that may have lead to her demise and that could lead to ours. Hunters are in town. I never knew four words could contain so much dread and terror. I'd rather deal with the Wanderers. I'm on the brink of a breakdown. I need help..." BOOK #2 IN THE SERIES! Ignorance is not bliss... In the wake of ridding Oakwood of Wanderers, other dangers come creeping in and they're somehow linked to Luc's absent twin. The past returns to haunt the mutants in inconspicuous ways. Riley's life is yet again in jeopardy, but this time she's not alone. Luc and his family are all thrown into the teetering balance. More secrets are uncovered. A trap dawns on them all. Invisible threats start crawling from all directions. Who is the real enemy? TW : behaviours of depression and PTSD are displayed. I don't name them, but one of the character will be struggling a lot. It may not be suitable for everybody. Other adult matters are briefly included, but nothing explicit or intense. Rewriting specifications : the main points of the story and end of the book will remain the same, am just going to change a few ways of getting there and adding some extra spice. Feel free to pause the read until the REWRITING sign disappears.Complete

FERALIGHT: GENESIS SEASON 1 [REVISED]
__________________☣☣☣☣☣☣________________ It began with a discovery. A microscopic organism discovered in the northern lands of artic an ancient, predatory, and alive. Scientists named it Nyxfera, after the goddess of night, for it devoured everything it touched. One mistake. One careless hand. That was all it took for the infection to escape the lab and spill into the world. A bite, a scratch, even a drop of its black ichor in your blood was enough to twist your body into something monstrous. But these aren't the zombies you've heard of before. They don't just rot-they evolve. They mutate into new, terrifying forms, adapting with each host. Civilization collapsed in weeks. What remains is a world where survival is no longer about fighting the dead... but the ever-changing, ever-hungry Ferals that once used to be human. ______________________________________ »»»» Apocalypse has a new name.«««« ______________________________________ Welcome to FERALIGHT.
Night Disease
REVISED EDITION COMING OUT MONTHLY/COMPLETED In a world overrun by zombies, A single bite heralds doom, except for Kaindra, who defies death itself, being undead already. ******** As humanity struggles to adapt to the new reality of zombie-infested streets and lurking supernatural creatures from ancient myths and legends, survival becomes an ever-evolving challenge. Survival is a constant battle not only against the undead but also against supernatural creatures and their zealous followers. The relentless onslaught of zombies and the mysterious reemergence of mythical beings push society to its limits. Civilization's last bastions fall one by one, teetering on the brink of collapse. As these ancient myths awaken, they reveal intentions that are far from clear- some may hold the key to salvation, while others could herald further doom. The question remains: Can humanity unravel the mysteries of these legendary beings in time to save themselves, or will they fall prey to the very legends they once dismissed? ___ Excerpt: Taking a deep breath, I lean closer to the mirror, my skin prickling. I thought it was a trick of the light, but as I stare at my reflection, my fragile lies crumble away. The reflection staring back at me feels unrecognizable. My once deep, dark brown eyes now glimmer with an otherworldly light, like twin moons suspended in a sea of silver. The faint glow within them swirls softly, catching the dim flicker of flame I summoned, like ripples across a moonlit lake. Their alien intensity sends a chill down my spine. The orbs seemed to hold a universe within, depths of endless mysteries and ancient wisdom beyond my grasp. ___ Warning: Mentions of suicide and self-harm Beautiful cover made by @scmimi.

Warfare's Chimeras
The year is 2112. Yellowstone has erupted, drowning America in ash and shadow. Crops have withered, fresh water vanishes faster than it can be replenished, and the world's climate rages beyond control. Nations collapse. Wars ignite. Humanity is no longer fighting to live-but to outlast extinction. In secret labs, science has been twisted beyond morality. Soldiers, drafted to fight for mankind's survival, are subjected to experiments meant to forge the ultimate weapon. But instead of saviors, abominations are born. Decorated war hero Sergeant Clark refuses to stand by as his brothers-in-arms are turned into monsters. His search for justice leads him straight to the scientist who engineered the atrocities and sacrificed ethics for survival. But what begins as bitter enmity twists into a fragile alliance when the two discover a darker truth. When the truth about mankind's engineered downfall comes to light, survival depends on their uneasy bond. Together, they must navigate a world unraveling into chaos, where every choice is a gamble and every ally could be a traitor. If they cannot stop the hidden power that set this catastrophe in motion, the final war will not be fought between nations- It will be fought between man and monster.
Moon Cured
A post apocalyptic shifter series that includes fated mates. ___________________________________________________ Seventeen years ago, one irresponsible scientist accidentally created poison that works like a highly contagious virus when trying to create a weapon. Unfortunately, there are no symptoms, you only know you have it when all the bones in your neck break and your head falls off and your body then collapses to the ground and crumbles into dust floats away with the non-existent wind. It wiped out a little over half the human population of the earth. So now we all live in small towns with many restrictions and laws to make sure nobody in the town gets poisoned or by yourself to scavenge and hunt for food. I chose the latter for me and my family. I am Alcmene Argent, and this is my story. ___________________________________________________ None of these pictures are mine, full rights to their creators.Complete

[COMPLETED] •Being revised... AGAIN (Progress: Intro-Chap. 3)• "We're going back... Understand? There are more threats out here than we anticipated, and they're all after you-" Lukas' voice erupted into static and chunks... I glared at the man in all black as the light continued to beam and blind me. Without my glasses it was actually painful. And then there was silence. My bare feet hit the metal floor of wherever we had jumped to, and I put my hand up to shield my eyes from the vicious attack of bright light. Not again."

Everything seems to be barren and empty... But if her super old sci-fi movies didn't teach her that looks deceive, nothing will.

With the majority of the population infected with a viral genetic plague, almost any of the survivors could access this technology... Including Alexi. When a simple quest for survival turns into a journey of a lifetime, will Alexi be able to survive the weight of the gruesome truth when she finally uncovers it?
