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?

The noble Pendragon family, once known for their brutally efficient art of war, are revered for their effort and contribution in the field of medicine.

Ironically, the very thing that would destroy House Pendragon. "The Darkeater even allows for the creation of matter at even the intricacies of the cellular level!

If No One Else
𝟏𝟖+| I was said to be 𝐭𝐨𝐨 𝐝𝐚𝐦𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐝, 𝐭𝐨𝐨 𝐢𝐦𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞... 𝐭𝐨𝐨 𝐮𝐧𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞. I had heard it so much in my life that it had manifested into a truth that remained rock solid in my brain. It consumed every surface of my body and mind like a deadly cancer It had become a promise to myself. A reminder. A standard. It was a rule applied to every person in my life, except him... He was the same as I was; no matter how different our outside identities were. We were cut from the same cloth on the inside. There was no denying that he and I were both broken souls left in a broken world. Both craving an eternal slumber before we met, but his darkness played so well with mine that suddenly it began feeling more like light, warmth, goodness... a happy ending.

He's wasn't like the usual officers she dealt with, and she finds that out quite quickly as she gets dragged away to jail for the night. They both wish to never see each other again, but there was something stronger than their dislike for each other keeping them together. The stronger their dislike grows, the more attached they become, until the lines become so blurred that they can't tell the difference between hatred and love anymore. They could say they hated each other, but if anything, a small part of them knew it would turn into love. If that love would last once everything was revealed... It was only a matter of time before they found out. ----
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.

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
