Ten minutes left on the clock that was attached to my wrist as a baby. We're all given them, and while I'm not entirely sure how they work, they've yet to be wrong. Some people never get to meet their soul mates, their other half dies before they get the chance. When this happens your clock stops, and while it never falls off your wrist, it never continues the countdown either. 

We're not allowed to date anyone who isn't our soulmate, it's a rule. And once you've touched your soulmate for the first time, a small mark that is unique to your relationship appears on your wrist, a mark that binds you to that person forever. 

Nine minutes left until I meet the person I'm destined to be with forever...

Five siblings, catapulted into chaos. Striving hard to create a grounded foundation amidst a cruel world, hoping that building walls will protect them against the hungry hands trying to tear them into pieces. They only ever wanted to love and be loved but life carved its marks into their hearts. Poisoned people and a series of misfortunes left their souls tainted. 🌼 🌼 🌼 ❗❗❗ This book is a PREQUEL which means that the story takes place several years before the first book, 'FADED'. This work is a part of a backstory that focuses on the events that occurred before the original narrative. It is not necessarily required that you read FADED to understand this one, but I do strongly recommend it to get a better understanding of the characters and setting. 🌼 🌼 🌼 ⚠️ Trigger Warning! ⚠️ This is not some fairytale about falling in love and living happily ever after. This story is a reflection of reality, it's about real characters facing real hardships and struggles in life. RATED M (Please read the tags for more info about the story.

Anna Watson's life was far from easy. A battle with cancer left her frail, defeated, and questioning her life's meaning. Her final moments were filled with regret for dreams unrealized and paths untaken. But when death embraced her, it wasn't the end-she awakened in an entirely new world: the wizarding world of Harry Potter. Yet, this wasn't the familiar era of Harry, Ron, and Hermione. She found herself in the time of the Marauders, a generation before the golden trio. Even more shocking, Anna had a new identity: Petunia Evans, the famously non-magical, bitter sister of Lily Potter. But this Petunia is different. Born as Lily's twin, Anna retains her memories of her past life and discovers she has magic-a shocking divergence from the character she once read about. Her magical abilities open up opportunities and challenges, not only for her but for her relationship with Lily, her new family, and the unfolding story of the wizarding world. As Anna navigates Hogwarts alongside the Marauders, Severus Snape, and her own twin, she realizes that the story she once knew is shifting. Her choices ripple across timelines, altering destinies and alliances. Struggling to reconcile her knowledge of the future with her growing affection for this new life, Anna must decide: should she preserve the world's fate or carve out a new destiny for herself and those she loves? In this thrilling twist on the Harry Potter universe, the story explores themes of second chances, sibling bonds, and the weight of choice, painting a vivid and detailed picture of what might have been if Petunia Evans had the magic to change it all.

Some are just plain babies and some pretend they're just fine when they're quite obviously not. Sang is running around cleaning everyone's messes all by herself and nearly going mad. Would someone PLEASE take Meanie's stupid bell away and WHERE did Mr. Blackbourne disappear to?! He couldn't even get up a minute ago! Will she live to tell the tale of when she nursed the Academy boys? I don't own The Academy, Ghostbird or the Characters. And the plot is thanks to the lovely IAmCandiBaby!
