Different stars, same sky
Nova was born to be a weapon. Trained as an elite soldier, Nova once led a team that never came back. After a mission gone devastatingly wrong and a rampage that made even the Guardians fear her, her memories were erased. Now, she's seventeen again-at least on paper-living with distant relatives in a city that doesn't feel like home, attending a militarized academy built on the ruins of her childhood. She remembers her name. She remembers nothing else. Rebellious, haunted, and lost in the blur of a life she doesn't recognize, Nova starts seeing things-echoes of the friends she lost, pieces of her old self. The Elite Guardians are watching her, some suspecting she's faking it. Among them is Kade-cold, unreadable, and strangely familiar. And there are others: students, soldiers, ghosts, and enemies who seem to know more about her than she does herself. As Nova begins to unlock terrifying truths about her past, her powers return-and so do the questions: Who was she before they erased her? Why did her team really die? And what is she truly capable of now? In a world where secrets kill and memories lie, Nova must choose between the girl she was, the weapon they made her, and the future she wants. A story of broken memories, forbidden power, and a love that might cost everything.Complete
Coffee Break ✔
"It's not always a 'knight in shining armor' that heals a broken heart..." ***** Reese Gregory might just be the last person anyone would like to befriend. She is an introvert, a tiny bit unfriendly and as moody as the weather at times. Basically, she's like the typical grumpy old man across the street, trapped inside the body of a 21-year-old. So when she lands in the post of an assistant editor, only to find that she won't be working 'alone', Reese is more than furious. And considering the fact that Zeiba Sidique-- the quirkiest person she'd ever seen-- annoys the hell out of her and takes her eye rolling ability to a whole new level, making friends with her is just out of question. But you know what they say right? Life has its own share of ironies- sometimes good, sometimes bad. ***** ▶[COMPLETED] ▶Winner of The Glam Awards 2017 ▶Highest Rank: #74 in short story on 19th August, 2017. ▶Cover by: @tristfuly Copyright © Protected.
