What if being an individual was against the law? The very fabric of your existence controlled by people whose faces you have never seen? How would you feel knowing that any and every part of your identity is an exact match to the people around you? The freedoms many of us take for granted are the pleasantries only granted to the lucky winners of a draw?
Celestial Rayne is a product of such a society, a society where you have no right to be different from the people around you. The women all have the same hair,the men are the same height,no one has a favorite color or unique story. The supreme court known as "The Makena" monitors the progress of the population hoping to solve the seemingly greatest flaw in the human intellect. Judgment based on personal preference. The main way to test the theory of preference is to remove the different traits from the people around her. Rayne soon becomes accustomed to the life she was born into not questioning the need for the daily injections never questioning the overly controlled society. That is until the day "The Makena" decide to draw select individuals to monitor without the serum. Soon Raynes outlook on the world around her changes.
Will the taste of freedom be enough to change Raynes normal opinions on the people around her? Will being able to see the physical differences cause her to question the way of life she has always followed in the past? And how will she deal with the attraction she feels to the one person she will never be able to be with?

Behind Closed Doors
I never thought my life would be like this; trapped in a dark room and scared for my life. A blindfold was wrapped around my head, covering my eyes, making me completely blind and on high alert. My breathing was ragged and I could smell the mold that was most likely covering most of the room. My hands were tied behind my back, my feet tied together and I was sitting on the floor, propped up against a wall. I heard a slight shuffling across the room that was coming closer to me. I tried my hardest to keep my breathing under control to seem confident and fearless, but in reality, I was shitting my pants and squealing like a scared little girl on the inside. To say I was terrified was a drastic understatement. I was petrified, shaking with fear, but they were not going to know that. "Who are you?!" I demanded. If I was going to die, it would be with the name of my kidnapper. A voice boomed closely to me, "Well, if I told you that, this wouldn't be any fun." **************** Skylar James, a 24 year old girl, is kidnapped by a very well known gang who has a vendetta against her family. In an attempt to find light in her situation, she makes friends with one of the members. Logan Grant was forced into the gang at the young age of 16. He was abused until he became emotionless and ruthless, so that one day, he could rule the gang. Everything was going smoothly until Skylar is brought in. With a blindfold wrapped around her head, he instantly feels bad for her, though he cannot show it. Afraid of getting caught, he shows no emotion while others are around. Though, behind closed doors is a whole other story.Complete

~ Love And Fate. ~ I used to believe the concept of love and fate was utter bullshit. It was a concept heard by many but only felt by some. So, I never found any point into believing something that I'll never have. For that, I blamed nobody. Nobody but me. {°Until I met him.°} |_______________________________________| °A forbidden love story ready to be told.° °With knowing the outcome, Will they still fall in love?° ⚠️ WARNING ⚠️ _This story may contain mature theme. Example: Mild cursing, mention of Sa, child abuse etc. If you're uncomfortable with any of those, I advice you to kindly skip those parts. Also, I apologize for the- perhaps the stupidest chapters at first, that is because English is not my first language. However, I swear I improved a lot as the story goes on.
