14 capítulos Concluído
In the year 2184, The United States has split into five nations; one of which, The Plymouth Republic, is cold, mechanical, stark, and bleak. Every two years, the government collects 50 babies to be trained from infancy to be the most ruthless killers the world has ever known: fast, emotionless, and seemingly undetectable. They are employed wherever the government thinks there is a threat. Johanna Runner is 18, and the top of her class. She has 72 kills to her name, and was in one of the earliest groups of babies. Nearly every student in the assassin training regime hates her, because they all want to be the Grand Magistrate's favorite. There have been five attempts on her life by students. One day, she is sent on a mission to kill the head of a resistance group. It is a fairly simple mission, with no hitches, until Johanna catches a glimpse of the leader's daughter, and feels her first emotion in years: Love at first sight. These are the Vespu Chronicles. This is Cold, Heartless Love. (This book has an appendix. Please look at the last chapter for any terms or words that need explained.) ••FIRST DRAFT; UNDER CONSTANT CONSTRUCTION••

Touch: Awakening, de AmandaKByrne
22 capítulos Concluído Maduro
The first touch burns. The second will change her life. In the future, humans will never see each other face to face. Technology will facilitate all interactions, from emails to spoken conversations to a hike up a tree-lined mountain. They'll rely on machines to provide them with their basic needs and favorite indulgences, and they'll never know another person's touch. This is the world Alexis is born into. A grad student slated to become impregnated in a few months' time, Lexi's been struggling with her wild and reckless thoughts. Why aren't they allowed to question the Government's decisions? What if her friend, Parker, is right, and the pill regimen they're on deadens their sense of touch? And why does her heart stop and her chest squeeze whenever she's around Drew? Drew's a dangerous man. He asks the questions she's afraid to voice and makes her think. Makes her wonder. Makes her yearn. He promises to help her find the answers, the two of them fumbling toward something they don't understand. The first touch is painful, the second one less so. Each one awakens feelings Lexi has no words for, until she craves Drew like an addict needing a fix. As they discover what the Government has kept from them all their lives, they fight to find a way to have it all - even as it threatens to destroy them forever. **** Later chapters contain situations intended for a mature audience. Consider yourself warned :)
