Give Life A Chance!
# Prologue Some moments shatter us so completely that we forget what it means to be whole. The accident took more than two lives that night-it took the version of Freen who believed in tomorrow, who laughed without hesitation, who saw possibility in every sunrise. In the aftermath, she became a ghost haunting her own existence, moving through days that felt borrowed and undeserved. The world continued spinning while she remained frozen in that terrible moment when everything changed. Friends offered comfort she couldn't accept, family spoke of healing she couldn't imagine, and time moved forward while she stayed trapped in the wreckage of before. She had convinced herself that surviving meant nothing more than breathing, that the guilt of living when they couldn't was punishment enough. The pieces of her former self lay scattered like debris after a storm, too sharp to touch, too broken to reassemble. Until Becky. Sometimes salvation comes disguised as an ordinary Tuesday, wearing a familiar smile and carrying an unexpected truth: that it's not only okay to live after tragedy-it's necessary. That honoring the dead doesn't require joining them in stillness, but rather in embracing the gift they no longer could. This is the story of learning to live again, of discovering that giving life a chance might be the most courageous thing we ever do. Give Life a Chance and It Might Surprise You! Adapted Fanfiction!!! Credit goes to the original author!Complete
Bird Wings
Wren's life is about to change forever - but not how she expects it to. Kidnapped on her wedding day, she finds herself trapped in a mountain cave, unable to return home with no company outside of the inhuman creature that took her. *** "Wait, Wren! Not that way!" It was darker here and panic limited her vision, but she could see it reaching for her; its wings like two huge looming shadows behind it. "Get away! Don't touch me! No, let me go!" She shrieked. She screamed in earnest as a hand took hold of her arm, and then even more when her own hand reached for something to hang onto and grasped at empty air. She had been scrambling towards a sudden drop! The hands hauled her back, but she still struggled. She didn't want to look at it, and she still wasn't sure she wouldn't rather take her chances with the open air instead. "Stop it, I'm not going to hurt you! You'll hit your head on the rock or something. Wren, please!" It knew her name. Somehow it knew her. She was going to die! "Let me go! Stop touching me!" She was sitting on the rocky floor now with her back against an uneven wall, and it was trying to pin her down and hold her still. She kept her eyes turned away and struggled helplessly, but it was no use. It was strong like a human man too, and she couldn't keep it off of her. The wings had moved until they curved around them both and shut out a lot of the light. Its face was so near hers that she could feel its breath brushing against her skin. "Please just look at me for a second. Just look. I'm not going to hurt you." One of the hands grabbed her chin and forced her head to turn, and then she was looking straight into a pair of dark brown eyes. It had a human face too. She had been expecting something monstrous or ghastly, and the surprise made her falter for a moment. He looked young, with a bad haircut and an earnest expression on his face. "I'll let go of you, okay? Just don't lunge around like that anymore, you'll get hurt." He whispered.Complete
