The Cruntis. That is where I live. I know it sounds like a really weird place, and it is if I'm honest. But the reason why you've never heard of it is because it is a distant world, where everything is different, and I do mean everything. In this world we have tribes, the Oculas, the Menders, and the Seekers. The Oculas see your outcome. No, not your future, your outcome. How you turn out, why you turn out like that, and lastly how you die. They are enemies with the Menders. The Menders...well, they don't always mend. They can erase your memories, and either contaminate them or make them the best things you have ever known, even if they aren't true. They're supposed to be the guardians of the world, but...that hasn't been happening much lately. Ah yes, the Seekers. They didn't always exist, you know. They were created. Ever heard of the classic, Romeo and Juliet? If you have, you know that there were two rivaling families, the Montagues and the Capulets. And Romeo and Juliet had a forbidden love. Think of the Oculas and the Menders as the two rivaling families. We have a Romeo and Juliet too, and they created the Seekers. The Seekers have all the powers of the Oculas and Menders combined. They are for the good of the people. Dawn was an Ocula in training, but just like every other child with her, she had learned about the Seekers in her books, and was warned to never disobey the tribe or there would be dire consequences. Dawn was different...she knew how to think for herself. She was a Dreamer, and she didn't even know it. No one did. A Dreamer was unheard of; it was the start of a new life. Dawn always wondered why she was so different, why she wanted to be a Seeker and be good instead of being a part of her corrupted community. Little did she know that she would be leading more Dreamers into battle. Would she take the leap, or would she stay tethered to disaster?

Gangs. A girl. War. Fights. Love. Hate. Death. All words to describe the city of Athens. The most dangerous city in the country. But only those who have been there know that. Athens is not a place for tourism. Not many people who visit, make it out alive. Vicki, 16, has finally found a home willing to adopt her after 6 years of jumping from home to home, family to family, foster to foster. Some were good. Some bad. Some could, would, and did the unthinkable. But now she didnt have to deal with that. But she had no idea of the secrets that the friendly "welcome to Athens" sign hides. Or did she? She wasn't ever supposed to end up in the system. Or end up on her meds. She remembered nothing of her life before 10 years old. She had always knew something was missing, but this? This was more than she could ever handle remembering. **** "Wow, I thought it was just you guys and Artemis." "There's a whole world of gangs. There are gangs in every country, some even I don't know as a leader." "Is it tough being a leader?" "Some times. Especially when I have to deal with loss. But I also give some opportunities to people who need it. I've even given a homeless man a small job and it set him up for life." "That's cool. Are the Zusians tyrants. I mean were they?" something about the name doesn't shake me. It's stuck in my head for some reason. "They more are now. There's speculation that a kid got out safe and will one day take back the leadership, but after seeing the wreckage first hand, I don't think anybody left it alive," he says it. But he doesn't sound like he even believes himself. "Did the kid get out? Is it even slightly possible?" "Between you and me. I helped her escape. I know she got out. But I don't think she lived long after we lost contact. Why do you ask?" "Something about the name... It is vaguely familiar but I don't know why. Maybe it's just my meds." "You might have just heard it before." *** Cover by @_scintillas
