Most people know me as The Raven. Only a privileged few call me Cara English. I've been alone, hiding in plain sight as an expert hacker for so long, that I have to re-learn what it's like to trust others after I'm caught by the cops. After all, I never could trust my alcoholic father or my runaway mother. No, I could only ever rely on me.
But then this vape-smoking guy in a pinstripe suit comes to my rescue just when things get really hairy for me. He offers me freedom in exchange for breaking a code to find a cold-blooded killer. It should be an easy choice, but I can't shake the feeling that it's somehow really, really wrong.

A note from the author:
I am previewing the first five chapters of this novel here on Wattpad -- the entire novel will be available in eBook and print formats May 2016!
Six high school students looks like anyone else acts like anyone else but are capable of things no one else is. They learnt from a young age no one that means NO ONE can know about their powers even their parents and other siblings. It brings out the true friends and those who just want to use you. In the end, what do you do when your closest friend betrays you? This is the story as they try to keep their biggest darkest secret of what they are capable of and as they discover they're not the only ones like them...
I am not very good at trigger warnings before individual chapters but there is mention of blood, cold abuse and parents divorcing. (But read at your own risk in case I mention something else. I am working on rewriting this story and when I do there will be the trigger warnings in the correct places.)
(small teaser.)
No one sees me. I am a ghost. I brush against the wooden fence. No one will believe it was me who disappeared into a fence and appeared on the other side of school.
I stare at my brother. He made eye contact with me, confirming my suspicions. We both saw it. Whoever that was is like us.
"Did you just see that?" I ask
"You're that person my brother and I saw," He says. Oh no... Why then?
"Wait! You're-"
Completed just editing.
