Calliope, a seventeen year old girl, was a normal kid living with a single mother since she was six years old. Her father left them for another woman according to her mother, but the sadness and fear that showed in her mother's eyes as she said this made Calliope think twice.
What if he had reasons to leave? What if it was important for the family or possibly even more than the family?
After a terrible disaster that happened during her bestfriend's birthday, she received a call from the academy her father studied in during his teen days offering her a home, food, and education which she absolutely needed after losing everything.
They said they would give her answers and eventually help her control the powers she never thought she had, but after venturing inside a world she thought would only be in books, she later realized she could trust no one, not even herself.
She had to face everyone if she wanted to know the truth behind the disappearance of her dad and the death of her mom and bestfriend.
If you're surrounded by darkness, you'll be attracted to any sliver of light, right? But what if that sliver of light is her voice which she absolutely hated since it had the potential to save the world she loved or destroy it.

The Supernaturals-1: Enlightened
After the passing of the only matriarchal figure she ever had, Dierdre's life becomes nothing short of a nightmare. As if her foster father's grief-driven drinking problem wasn't enough, she has to deal with his new wife, who just has a talent for making her life hell, even more so, when her evil stepmother somehow convinces him to have Dierdre sent away to an obscure new school on the other side of the country, and Dierdre can do nothing about it. Upon arrival at this school, she immediately becomes suspicious: why are there so many CCTV cameras? Why are most of the kids in that school orphans? Why do students keep disappearing, each one after being invited for tea by a particular teacher? And what exactly are those awful noises heard echoing through the building each night? And then there's the "drop-dead gorgeous" guy who mysteriously turns up, a man straight, literally out of a dream she had had the night before she had come to the Academy, a secretive, aloof creature who seems to know more about her than she knows about herself. Where does he come from? Who is he? And how does he seem to know Dierdre's deepest secret, an abnormal talent she dare not expose? Things don't improve any when she catches feelings for this mysterious guy she can't fight off, try as she might, and they get worse when Gena, a beautiful, vivacious girl, seems to have woed him over ... All these things, the dark mysteries around the school, Dierdre's love interest and the secret of her true nature, comes together in one revelation: that destiny has chosen both of them for something neither of them had asked for, and they find themselves entangled in a spider's web of the shocking, yet intricate secret the school was founded upon ... for there is no fighting against fate ...

Death Wish
Linnea has been wanting to die ever since her family was in a car crash. She was the only survivor and she's been riddled with guilt since that day because she was driving the car. Her guardian, Thibault, has been telling her how worthless she is and how she'll never be wanted ever since he had to take her under his wing. She started to believe it, so she hardened her heart. She's terrified that someone will leave her because they don't want her. She doesn't let anyone see her real emotions and doesn't let anyone in her heart. Then along comes Lorenzo. He tears down her walls and helps her from Thibault, but she's scared he'll leave her. So she pushes him away, not knowing that their lives are so much more connected than she thought. A/N-I marked this as mature because there are some pretty graphic scenes and it deals with self-harm/suicide.Complete
Maybe
An internal voice whispered, "Call him." But I chose not to. I dismissed it once more, saying, "He never liked me anyway." Yet the dilemma lingered. "But maybe he does. The way he looks at you... it's different." Out of nowhere, he glanced my way. My heartbeat quickened, sending shivers down my spine. I averted my gaze, pretending to look around. "Has he noticed me? No, wait-oh my god." --- After switching high schools, Nina discovered a new way of life. She fell in love, made wonderful friends, and everything seemed perfect.

Forced to move to a new city, Nina had to cut ties with everyone she once knew. Eight years later, fate brings her face-to-face with him again. "Ethan..." He's the key to everything-the truths she never knew. When she was lost in the dark, he always held the light. But now, things are different. She despises him. He's colder than ever.

I may have done the wrong thing more than once. But despite all of that I still like you, hell if I know I might love you. I've never felt the way I feel about you for anyone else before. I can't stop thinking about you. Your laugh, your smile, your voice. How you manage to pull a joke at a time like this, to how peaceful, and beautiful you look when you're sleeping." I smile.

A wave of electricity went down to my core when he licked my lips. "Open your mouth, Bella." His commanding husky voice against my lips jolted my heart, and I followed his order like a slave. With no control, a moan erupted from my throat as his tongue met mine. It was barely audible, but I knew he heard it when he smiled against my lips.
