Alice lives in a world that is completely different from our own. Time is reversed, meaning that they are moving toward the middle ages while we move on to science. The people are different. They are solely driven by greed and starvation, coveting the most destructive weapon of all: the Power. This is a force of nature that changes the human possessing it completely. Once the Power is won, it's captor becomes emotionless, indestructible, and horrible. Humans are constantly at war for this force, desperately trying to claim it for their own. At least, until Alice comes along. Having been brought up by nearly everyone in her village, Alice is used to hearing the tales of the glorious Power, old women telling her not to bother trying to get it (they didn't want extra competition), cackling boys who would announce all the lives they'd claim if they got their hands on the Power, and middle aged men who were hardly at home, busy searching for the Power. But Alice never quite understood why the Power was so great. She wanted an adventure, but not one focused on the Power. One day, her village is visited by a group of outsiders, one young man in the lead. As soon as he sets his eyes on Alice, he knows that she would be perfect for his quest. And after persuading her to go with his men, they set off, not to claim the Power as their own, but to destroy it. And maybe on the way, love will find it's way into Alice's heart.

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: 3.17.16
