The best part about waking up is going back to sleep, right? But what if you're stuck in a nightmare, unable to wake up?   

When 10,000 people across the continent of North America suddenly fall ill, rumours start to spread that it is Heavens doing - an organization responsible for creating the highly advanced simulated world everyone currently lives in. One by one the individuals infected by the unknown disease start falling unconscious, until there's only one left standing.   However,  Adalia Diangelis isn't awake much longer. When the 15 year old falls unconscious, she instantly finds herself in a completely different world, subsequently discovering she's unable to leave. Adalia and the other victims are then informed by Nick Tolias, a member of Heavens, that if they wish to be free, they must reach the other side of this island-like world. However, if they die in this world, their bodies will also die in the real one. 

Now trapped and fighting for their very lives, the 10,000 individuals struggle to reach the other side of the island. Unfortunately, no one in this strange world who has ever left for the other side, has ever been heard of again. 

Taking a chance on either disappearing forever, or returning to reality, Adalia risks everything on making it to the other side, but what will really happen if she does?

"Who's there," I can't breath. I'm always looking over my shoulder ever since- I can't think about the now. I have to run but where, back to Jake? No I can't, everything is different now. He's supposed to be here to protect me, because if the got me... blood smears the pages of the passed. "Sapphire!" I hear him call. "Coal!" I reach out to touch him only for him to be yanked just out of my reach. I hear the wolves in the distance howling at the beautiful moon. I need his touch again. I need to know I'm safe. The only safe place anymore is pressed against him under the sheets. "Coal!" I call out again. ---I can hear her. She's here somewhere I know it. I can smell her sent threw the thick of the woods. "Sapphire!" I call out, but my call is lost in the night. I have to protect her. I have to save one, just one. Maybe that will be enough to clean the blood off my tainted skin. What if they get her? She'll... Change... I look up at the moon, could she not have heard my howls? Of course she did. She always did. I can hear the other wolves in the forest. Soon I too would be engulfed by the beast. Unable to control myself, unable to predict the beasts next move. Only she could tame the beast inside me.

I wait for him to turn into that hideous beast. The beast that only comes out in the light of the moon. The beast that feeds of the insentient. I have to find her,to make her perfect, at least that's what they tell me. They tell me she'll be perfect and she will be mine. She will be the beginning of a new ere the ere of the beast. Everyone has secrets. Everyone lies. Everyone cries. Everyone dies. 2 view points, Coal and Sapphire. Mature! All rights reserved! Thank you!

Pearl Blankenship, an autistic investigative journalist, witnesses the end of the world. Before the nuclear fallout can kill her, a mysterious being offers her a choice: come with him or stay on a dying planet Earth. **** Dumuzi, the being who offered, is an Anunnaki: a descendant of humankind's ancient alien creators. It is his mission to wipe out what remains of humanity in a few short weeks, sparing only those with a thirst for knowledge and moral character. After becoming a journalist, Pearl was mocked online, arrested for trespassing, and challenged globally for her conspiracy theories. Two things she knows for a fact: mankind deserves a second chance, and staying on Earth sounds... well, hazardous. She hopes that by getting closer to Dumuzi, she might be able to change his mind about humanity, as he is a councilman with power. But it isn't going to be easy. Communicating? It's difficult for her. And he is cold, wary of humans, and has weeks left to live due to an illness that plagues him. The more time she spends with him, the more his illness accelerates, and the more steamy attractions ignite into something seriously dangerous. The clock is ticking.

Your father wasn't amused when he found out that you are the one who killed his dear lovely wife by giving up your mother's gem just to have you. Your mother knew she would be gone as she was having you, and yet she didn't stop to have you born. After years go by, your father had enough of you and finally decided to get rid of you. By drowning. Yet you still alive and was living and surviving alone. Until you met a certain curly-haired boy that was called by the name of Steven Quartz Universe. This is not my first time writing so I bet that I could make the chapter as long as 1000+ words. This book also took before the movie started. This book also contained bruises, blood, injuries, torture, gore and etc. If you didn't feel comfortable reading, I am so sorry and please read the one-shot book that I will be making. Without further ado, let's begin the story and please do enjoy! P.S: I am veryy terrible on making descriptions.
