I've hidden behind the lens of a camera since I was seven years old. My Mom dying turned me into a shell of a person; I stopped speaking, I hid behind fake glasses, my hair and baggy clothes.
I let my father move us around, never asking questions when he would disappear for days at a time from the time I turned thirteen.
The only thing that my father did that ever got the rare smile from me was when my birthday came around and he brought me a camera every year.
The camera was my security blanket, another eye that I used to see things through, another way to observe even as I pressed that shutter button.
Moving to a new town, a new school never fazed me; I never purposely drew attention to myself. I hid behind the camera, like I always did and that was when I started capturing them just like they started capturing my heart.

The Bird That Couldn't Sing (GBFF)
{Completed} A lost soul in a sea of anguish and confusion, Sang floats alone, and the treacherous waters around her are starting to consume her; she's beginning to sink. In fact, she's been slowly sinking further and further into those dark depths since she was a child--ever since the abuse began. Ever since her voice was stolen by her stepmother-a jealous, envious woman who wanted what Sang Sorenson had-what the evil woman hadn't: a voice like an angel. Sang's voice is gone, the only thing she ever truly cherished. And she's starting to drown in the waters that have been rising rampantly inside her chest, but can she be saved? Is there hope for a rescue boat? Can a group of nine handsome, loving, charismatic boys be the reason Sang Sorenson rises to the surface? Will they be her life jacket, or an anchor to drag her further into the profound depths below? Can the bird without a voice finally sing once again? ❤ This is an Academy fanfic. I don't own any of these characters. They are all creations of the amazing C.L. Stone, and they all belong to her. Though, you don't have to read 'The Academy' series to understand this book. It can definitely be read as a stand-alone. ❤ Warning! Be warned, there is mature content in this book (i.e. most likely sexual content, swearing, and abuse). So, if you're uncomfortable with that, then don't read this. Also, this book will get worse before it gets better. (It starts off pretty sad.) But there is a happy ending and LOTS of love! 😉😁Complete
The Reasons Love (Completed)
Sang and her boys have been together for 4 years, she successfully joined the academy and has been doing well going on missions with the guys and much to the boys' dismay, solo missions. It is after one nerve racking mission that the boys asked her to stop taking missions and marry them, but she refused. Sang felt she was part of something big and she wanted to continue to make a difference in the world. The boys were given a mission they could not turn down that would require them to go deep under cover for at least a year with little to no contact to the outside world and Sang could not be a part of the mission she was needed elsewhere on her own mission. Sang decided that they needed to take the mission because it would give the team the security they needed to have a good life and an excellent reputation within the Academy, so she told them that they needed to realize she was not helpless like she was when they met and she could take care of herself, but she needed them to fully grasp this concept for themselves before they could all truly have a future as a married family. They all decided that they would part ways until this mission was over and she would be waiting for them when they got back to decide where their relationship would go, little did any of them know the surprise they would come back to and the effect it would have on their futures. Characters belong to the fabulous C.L. Stone's Ghost Bird and Scarab Beetle Series' and are not mine. This is fan fiction. This story is for entertainment only, hope you enjoy! This will contain cursing and may or may not have mature scenes I am not sure yet, so to be safe I have rated this mature.Complete

But then I meet Kota, Victor, Silas, Nathan, Gabriel, Luke, North, Dr Green and Mr Blackbourne. Something about them causes these crazy feelings inside me; human feelings and feelings I'm sure are to do with my gifts. And my father is taking notice of me, and I have no idea why. He's never bothered before, so why now? Then someone comes and tells me that the supernatural world is in danger and he knows who I am, because he's one to.

It was the only way they wouldn't come searching for me. For six years I've watched from a far. I needed to be close, yet so far away; out of sight, out of mind. But one night was all it took. One night for my boys to be on a mission and to find me, their dead girlfriend, very alive and breathing. Now they're in danger all over again and I won't stop protecting what's mine to protect. My name is Sang Sorenson and I'll die before letting anything harm my family. A/N: I know, another story, but I can't help myself. Disclaimer: This is a Fanfiction Story based on C.L.

The Cardinal Bird (1 of Cardinal Series)
Sang has always been a little bit different. She was made fun of for being a math-whiz in school up until she was kidnapped. Growing up in the crime world from a young age, she tried to do what she was told and keep her head down...but...that was easier said than done. Trouble seems to follow her like it's her middle name. Eventually things come to a head that puts her in the Academy's sights, but the struggles only keep piling up as she is shuffled around, wondering when or even if she will ever find somewhere she feels like is home. Disclaimer: All recognizable characters belong to CL Stone. Warnings: This story is 18+ Mature. It will have extreme and graphic violence, murder, swearing...all the fun stuff. I don't separate out mature scenes or warn where they are. If any of those warnings were not to your liking, or if any of these may trigger you--please choose wisely before reading. Note: Also, I do not speak any language fluently other than English. All translations are done by Google Translate, so I apologize. I know that it is rarely accurate, but I still like including them in the story. They make it look more foreign and exotic! Lastly, if you want to receive notifications about exclusive content--such as sneak peeks at the next chapter before it's posted, reasoning behind some of the decisions in the story, or even short glimpses into the guys' POVs, make sure to follow!Complete

The Ghost Bird series is owned by C. L. Stone. I own nothing. I made #1 under GabrielColeman! I'm like... special and stuff! I'm double special! #1 under LukeTaylor!Complete
