Lillian Brook has always been different-an enigma to herself and the people around her. Raised in the Ark, she's kept to the shadows, never quite fitting in with the others. Her dreams, strange and vivid, have always set her apart-faces she doesn't recognize, voices speaking in a language no one on the Ark can understand. Lately, the pull she feels toward Earth has only grown stronger, as if something-or someone-below is waiting for her. But Lillian knows more than she lets on, and there's a part of her that remains hidden, even from those closest to her.
When she's chosen to be sent to Earth with ninety-nine others, Lillian feels the weight of something ancient stir within her, a power she doesn't fully understand. As her dreams grow more vivid and the language becomes eerily familiar, Lillian starts to question who she really is. The truth of her connection to Earth and the secrets buried deep inside her may be the key to survival-and to something more than just the mission she's been given.
But beneath the surface, there's more to Lillian's story-more than even she is willing to admit. As she faces the unknown on Earth, she'll have to confront the truth of what makes her different, and perhaps, who she's bound to, in ways she never thought possible.

THE REASONS || Bellamy Blake ~ the 100
BOOK I: The Reasons - the ground is unforgiving. So is survival. Madison Cameron was born in space, a child of the Ark, never feeling the sun on her skin or breathing the fresh, unfiltered air of Earth. She's never experienced the sensation of water, the way it would flow against her or lap around her as she swam. For three generations, humanity has clung to the Ark, floating in the cold vacuum of space, its fragile walls the only barrier between them and extinction. The Ark was all they knew-sterile, artificial, far from the dangers and beauty of Earth below. But now, the Ark is dying. It can't sustain them much longer. They are the last hope of mankind, a fragile chance for survival. The Earth they land on, however, is nothing like they imagined. It's not a fresh start or paradise - it's a nightmare. The air is toxic, wildlife monstrous, and every step is a battle for survival. The Earth is alive, but it's unforgiving. Amidst this chaos, Madison and Bellamy Blake find themselves at the forefront, taking on the roles of leaders. Both carry the heavy weight of responsibility, knowing that the survival of the remaining human race rests in their hands. They both strive to protect their people, to do whatever it takes to ensure their survival. But where Madison is focused on the harsh reality of survival-pragmatic, calculating, determined to keep them alive - Bellamy's vision is driven by something more abstract: freedom. They clash over their ideals - her need for structure, his thirst for freedom - and every time their paths cross, the tension between them makes their already perilous situation even more volatile. Yet, the Earth continues to test them. It doesn't care about their petty squabbles or their hopes for a better future. The planet doesn't care about Madison's desire for control or Bellamy's lust for freedom. It only cares about one thing: survival.

Hell and Back (The 100)
Having been ripped out of her mother's arms right after being born a minute later than her twin, Wren Jordan was sent to the Sky Box on the Ark. Considered a criminal for the simple act of being born, lonely walls and cell guards are all she has and all she's ever known for the past seventeen years. When forced out of her cell one day and placed on a ship, a confused but excited Wren learns that she is part of The 100, a group of underage criminals, that are to be sent back to Earth, where no one has been to in decades. Filled with mixed emotions, Wren finds that she has no idea on what to expect on the ground. A sure death, most likely. What she most certainly didn't expect was to find that her twin was to be sent down with her and the rest of The 100. Determined to keep herself and her recently met twin alive on the ground, Wren is willing to do whatever it takes to keep them safe. But when some of the delinquent group decide to cause trouble, she finds that she got more than she bargained for when she tries to stop them. Confused, with new and mixed feelings found, Wren Jordan will find that it takes more to survive than she thought and that some people make it worth your while to go to Hell and Back.

Echoes Of a Lost World (1)
Book one of Echoes Of a Lost World. Warning ⚠️⚠️Mentions of Mental Abuse and Depression and other mental health issues and Physical abuse and Drugs and Fluff and Smut and alcohol and Murder underage drinking and suicidal also lots of cussing. Skyla Rivers aka Sky. It had been ninety-seven years since the world as they knew it ended. The Earth, once a vibrant ball of blue and green, had become a memory, a myth whispered by the few who still dreamed of it. The planet was no longer the thriving cradle of humanity; it was a scorched wasteland, its surface marred by the scars of nuclear fire. Human life, decimated by the bombs, had left only the survivors to float aimlessly in the cold expanse of space. Three generations had passed since the apocalypse, and resources on the Ark were dwindling. Every day was a struggle to survive, but for those like Skyla Rivers, a 17-year-old girl with blonde hair and blue eyes, survival meant something else entirely...confinement. The Ark's justice was harsh, its laws unforgiving. Crime, in whatever form, was punishable by death unless you were under eighteen. Skyla had known a little freedom. She had been locked away in the Ark's juvenile detention, a place called the Sky Box, ever since she was fourteen. But there was more to Skyla's story. A darkness lingered in her past, something that had shaped the person she was today, something that had led her to the cold, lonely walls of the Sky Box.Complete![Forsaken Earth [1] || B.B](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/392180990-256-k135606.jpg)

THE REASONS // Bellamy Blake - The 100 [book 3; inproces]
Book III: The Reasons - when the world ends, what's left to live for Three months have passed since the tragedy at Mount Weather, but the scars it left behind are still raw, still bleeding beneath the surface. The cost of survival is no longer measured in lives lost - but in souls shattered. Peace was promised, yet all they've found is silence where laughter used to be, tension where unity once stood. And for Madison, the silence has become deafening. The abuse she thought she left behind has only grown darker, more consuming. Every bruise hidden beneath layers of clothing, every glance over her shoulder, is a reminder that her war never really ended. She's been forced to run. Alone in the wilderness, hunted by those who want to take her power, she must find a way to survive with nothing but her instincts, her pain, and the crushing weight of guilt. All around her, the world teeters on the edge of collapse. A.L.I.E has risen from the shadows of the old world, a digital ghost with a god complex, whispering promises of peace through control, order through annihilation. The lines between right and wrong blur as survival grows more brutal, and each of them must face their own demons while trying to hold onto the last pieces of their humanity. Loyalties will be tested. Friendships will fracture. And love, in the face of such relentless loss, will be both a refuge and a battlefield. For Madison, the journey ahead is not just a fight for survival - it's a reckoning. Her addiction claws at her like a second skin, her guilt threatens to consume her from within. She is broken. But the fate of the human race may rest in her hands. And in the end, she must answer the hardest question of all: Can someone so damaged be the one to save them all?
