"Sometimes the only way to become stronger is to know what weakness feels like."
"A lie is an alternative path, another choice. Because sometimes, the truth is the one thing you don't want to hear."
The day The Crashing's happen, the whole world changed. There is a chemical that can influence people to do acts of violence against others, making them go mad. Somehow, this chemical is linked to Scarlet Miller and her father's creations, but now The Government has it.
The world is nearly destroyed when Scarlet runs into Isaac and his little sister Melanie. Melanie reminds Scarlet of her own sister who was kill and promises to keep her safe because she has failed her own.
This leads them working together to figure out what this chemical is, and how to stop it from ruining their world completely. At first, what only matters to Isaac is keeping his sister safe, but as they work together Isaac starts to fall for Scarlet, and all of her courageous glory. He'll do anything to protect Mel and Scarlet.
As they get closer to the truth, the world she thought knew becomes nothing but a lie. The Government has life changing information about Scarlet's family, but all she has known is to not trust them. The things about her family. . . about Isaac don't add up, but her wanting to trust him is there.
Truths will be uncovered and lies will become confusing. Scarlet suddenly doesn't know who to trust or what to believe. Will love and trust be enough, or will the truth conquer all?

I felt the tears rise and I looked down for a minute, gathering all of my resolve. I looked up again and stared him right in the eye. "You know what? I trusted you!"

I trusted you." I told him and he flinched as my voice broke in the end. I looked away from him and at everyone else in the room. "And you wonder why I never trust. You know what? I can't do this.

Vitality [Teaser]
Trust is a word that can easily be broken through breath, but survival is a word that can only be broken by death. Nikolas Clover's goal was to keep his family safe as they joined the Advors, a group of humans against the Resinix alien race. However escaping from the Proditors, a group of humans who standby the Resinix, would be anything but easy. They lived in a small town in Colombia called Salento located North just off the edge of the Amazon Rainforest. The Advors remained hidden under the tall rainforest trees while the Resinix and Proditors ruled the rest of the Earth with an iron fist. The Clovers lived in hiding as they waited for their moment to leave the Proditor infested town. However, suspicion would soon arise. Escaping would feel like hell, but the thought of surviving would feel inconceivable. ~I've dedicated a song from YouTube that fits well with each chapter to enhance the reader experience if you choose to play it!
