In a quiet Florida town, a nuclear blast shook the sky - but no one died.
Months later, children were born. Healthy. Whole. But different. They carried powers no one could explain.
When the government found out, they came for the kids - some taken by force, others handed over without a fight.
Raised in cold labs, tested like lab rats, these children were never given a choice.
Until now.
A small group finds the courage to escape - chasing freedom, family, and a life that was stolen from them before it ever began.

Shadowfawn - The Hypnotic Girl
In a world where everyone is born with a unique power (a power that can be completely useless, like having your eyelashes lengthened by a few millimeters, or as astonishing as mind-reading), the winners, the ones rich and famous, are usually those blessed with the best abilities. But what if there were someone who could control others? Use all their powers for their own purposes? Cherry Gale is a country girl, seemingly like many others: she goes to school, has a crush on a boy in her class, has a slightly punk friend, and when she grows up, she wants to follow in the footsteps of her mother, who is her heroine and with whom she has a very deep relationship... but she has a secret. A secret that could change and upend the world. The problem for her is that she's not the only one with one. - A New Dark World saga book -Complete
The Gift
I ducked my head, thinking about the risk I was about to take. I was breathing quickly. I looked around, making sure people weren't around--and jumped and ran. I refused to use my powers, because I knew it would end in disaster... The bullets flew around me, so close to me I knew it was just a matter of time before it hit me. I zigzagged desperately, panting, with tears rolling down my eyes. I had to get to safety.**After her parents and younger twin sisters died in a car crash, she had no way to learn to control her gift. She never understood what it was. She never had an idea, since she was too young to remember what happened when she used them, so now, at the age of fifteen, she had a nice foster family, and a lonely life. When she made a mistake to trust Cole, she had to dig herself out, and then try to figure out her real friends, Eli, Blizzard, Cher, Cole, Roxxii, and Micah. On the run, she had to learn to control herself. The stakes were high in the life of Nichole Everett.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
