The Darkness in the Light
For over a hundred years, humanity has lived in fear of the monsters that roam the streets, lurking in the drains below. Women and their daughters hide, protected in their homes, while men take their sons through the world, teaching them the responsibilities of having a family to feed and dangers to avoid. No one leaves the home unless it's essential, and most of the world prefers it that way. Until one girl spends her days perched on her window seat, looking down at the world below and dreaming of a different life. Her eyes are always drawn to the dark, ominous drains in the street, the ones that often blink open to swallow and person whole. One day, that person is her little brother, snatched right in front of her from their arms of their father and gone forever. When a person is snatched, they never return, and life goes on without them. But she can't accept that. Breaking all the rules, all the things she's ever known, she braves the world outside her little townhouse and goes on a mission into the darkness to find her brother. Only, it's soon her that becomes the one lost to the drains. To survive she must rediscover her world, and in the process, rediscover herself. She will be reunited with old friends, gain new ones, find out deeper secrets about her past than she ever could have imagined, and learn that the world is even more corrupt than she always thought. *** This story contains sexist ideology, mention of cheating, some gruesome scenes, and a whole lot of monsters and darkness.

Anomalous
{COMPLETED!!} Autumn is ordinary. Completely ordinary. She goes to school, gets yelled at by her mom, comes home, gets yelled at more; normal. One day, the chain of mundane breaks, when she comes home to find two teens with a pitch in her house. They invite her to live with them, where she can be happier. Autumn reluctantly agrees, but she still has mountains of questions. How do they know her name? Why have they come to her? And why do they all act so suspicious around her? These questions make Autumn realize that things aren't ordinary in her new home, either. Thanks to Leila, for proof-reading, brainstorming, and helping me with this book. She deserves much more than just having a character named after her. ((Inspired by Miss Peregrine's Home For Peculiar Children))Complete

Static
{COMPLETED} "now that you've had your fun electrocuting me, would you care to hop in the backseat?" ---------------------------------------------------------- Freak DNA. That's what I like to call it. The fault to my genetic code. More often than not, it's a curse. The static running through my blood gave me a name. A cruel, daunting label of a measly bug. A roach. That's what I am to them, to the government. Roach; the nameless monster with electricity for a sense and lightening as a second nature. It ruined my life, the sparking currents playing tag in my mind, running around and bumping into everything, shaking me loose. The government, actually. They ruined my life. My curse just gave them a reason. You see, the normal population with ordinary DNA, they don't know about the people like me. The roaches of the world. We don't get that kind of recognition at the camps. There, we are only one thing in the military's eyes. We are weapons and we will act like it. Everyone else out there, bathing in the goodness they don't know they've got, they don't know about the roaches their stepping on. As long as their getting closer to the sky, they don't care what they stand on to reach it. They don't know about the sparkling dreamer that's killed 7 people before her 17th birthday. They don't about the ghost of a girl peaking around corners for her entire life because even home wasn't safe. They don't know about the fighter of steel and iron sucking on his bloody lip courtesy of the wars he battles in as nothing but a shadow. They don't know about the masked villain who would do anything to see the army they lead claim the throne They don't know about us. But they will, because we will rise. And when we arrive, we will arrive violently. ___________________________________________ Started: 10.06.15 Finished: 3.17.16Complete

I am working on rewriting this story and when I do there will be the trigger warnings in the correct places.) (small teaser.) No one sees me. I am a ghost. I brush against the wooden fence. No one will believe it was me who disappeared into a fence and appeared on the other side of school. I stare at my brother. He made eye contact with me, confirming my suspicions. We both saw it. Whoever that was is like us. "Did you just see that?" I ask "You're that person my brother and I saw," He says. Oh no... Why then? "Wait! You're-" Completed just editing.

Long ago, humans with supernatural abilities began to appear in our world. These gifted humans possessed strange powers such as super strength, the ability to fly, or control over elements. However, these gifted humans were few in number. Soon, the normal humans grew jealous of their power. They shamelessly threw these "freaks" out of their homes. They were beaten, abused, and treated as slaves. Eventually, the gifted humans rebelled, and a great war began between them. This war would last for years and lead to countless lives lost. Realizing they could never coexist, the gifted humans decided to create a world where they could live freely. This world became known as Trabachi. Hundreds of years later, enter our main character. Luke Sky lives on Earth, where people had long forgotten about the great war and gifted humans. He receives a letter inviting him to Trabachi. There he discovers that what he once thought was impossible was actually possible. He finds out that not only does he have awesome super powers, but he is the chosen hero the entire kingdom has been waiting for. For not every Trabacian has forgiven the humans for what they did to their ancestors. And they are ready to take revenge on them all. -------------------------------------------------- Update!

Enthrall
"More than anything, I tried to push away the fact that my power was beginning to dictate my decisions. It was stripping away my inhibitions and my fears, and as much as I dreaded to admit it - my morality." Miles Boswell and August Sylvan are two teenagers who find solace in each other from a society with which they can't connect. Their relationship is perfect -- except, that is, for the fact that Miles has just acquired mind control powers. He finds his morality tested on a daily basis as he struggles to resist his twisted sense of judgment, while at the same time questioning whether or not August truly likes him or is just being manipulated by his power. Will she accept him for who he truly is? Or will he do something so terrible that it will be too late to matter? NOTE: Each chapter starts with a song with lyrics that mirror the events of the chapter. I purposely chose songs that Miles or August would have listened to in 2001. If you're interested, look up the lyrics and listen to the song! I think it adds something a little special.Complete

Why Me?!
Stormi Octavia Lane Johnson was just trying to survive high school, dodge drama, and maybe make it to cheer practice without catching an attitude. But between being a straight-A student, ROTC captain, and the girl everybody loves to hate, life was already doing the most. Then came De' Andre-mysterious, fine as hell, and way too interested in Stormi for no clear reason. As their slow-burn connection grows stronger, so does the pull she can't explain. Add in her best friend Vi acting weird, her parents whispering secrets like it's a business deal, and a strange new strength rising inside her... and suddenly, turning seventeen isn't just a milestone. It's a rebirth. But Stormi's world is about to crack wide open. Because being a queen doesn't just mean running things-it means uncovering the truth about her bloodline, her destiny, and the monsters she never knew were watching her all along. This ain't your average coming-of-age story. It's giving trauma, power, love, betrayal, and a whole lotta chaos. Because even queens have demons.
