In a future dystopian world where children under the age of sixteen live with no real identity, the government forces these children to have an all white appearance and to be referred to as 'blanks'. With no real name or power the future of these children are in the hands of The Vote.
The Vote is a brutal, almost ritual like, annual ceremony to figure out what each person will look like, what their name will be and most of all, what power they will receive.
In a world where boundaries have been set up only to allow certain citizens to enter--according to their appearance, skill and power--is a key factor for low crime rates and a sense of function in the world. With the government tightening their security and making more harsh decisions can only cause disruption...
Alex has now turned sixteen along with her older brother, Chris, and eagerly wait for the day they are ripped from their families to face The Vote.
With competitions, fights, death and love ahead; Alex can only hope to figure out her rare Arcane powers, for they may just save her life.

The Greater Universe
Max lives a very solitary life for a kid in a penthouse on Mars, and all they've ever wanted is to see Earth. And maybe to see their family more too. They at least get one of those things the summer after they turn sixteen, but spending the next few months on Venus with their aunt, uncle, and beloved cousin comes with a price; their parents are getting divorced. Not that it matters to them. It really shouldn't matter to them. It DOESN'T matter to them. The summer's already started off a little rocky, and it only gets more confusing from there when Max arrives on Venus to discover that their extended family has taken in two aliens the same age as themself and their cousin, and suddenly, Max doesn't fit in. Not that they aren't used to that. They really SHOULD be used to that. Somehow, they still aren't. As Max struggles to convince their cousin's new friends that they're more accepting than most humans, something strange starts happening in the little Venusian city, something that leads to Max and this ragtag group of strangers - that they're beginning to consider their family - going on an extraordinary adventure, learning the truth about many untold secrets, and possibly even uncovering an ancient intergalactic war...Complete![Her Dirty Secret [Down Draft]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/2292638-256-k996411.jpg)

Amethyst Jones has a baby sister named Iris Jones. "Amy" takes care of her sister as best she can, just like a mother would, in the household she is forced to live in. The twist? Her father, or the person she is led to believe is her father, seriously abuses her, mentally and physically. On her seventeenth birthday, she gets another twist. She turns into a sedan-sized wolf, and she never knew what she was until that moment. But she has a little problem, too. A pack of werewolves lives nearby and they find out about her existence. They want her to live with them, with their pack of wolves, but she doesn't want to, can't, for many reasons. See the problem? And her goal in life, for almost a year, had been to find an important person, but she isn't even sure if this person is still alive. What will she decide to do with her life? So many decisions, so little time, as the saying goes. Oh... That's wrong? Too bad. That's Amethyst's version. She will consider one person in this ordeal to be her friend. He's helped her from the beginning. And there is one more twist. You know those cliched werewolf stories where the girl is abused and then she runs away and finds her mate and lives happily ever after? Yeah, there's a twist on that, too. You'll see.Complete

PLEASE NOTE: my writing is a lot better now. In the not-so-distant future, the world has been ravaged by climate disasters, economic collapse, and technological overreach. The Earth's atmosphere is barely breathable in some areas, and society is divided into highly controlled, isolated Zones. These Zones are managed by an all-powerful governing body called The Ascendancy, which uses a combination of surveillance, propaganda, and strict population control to maintain order. Beneath the surface, however, a rebellion is brewing. Youth, especially those born in the years after the Ascendancy's rise to power, have begun questioning the truth about the world they live in, and their place in it. In the midst of this unrest, a group of teenagers discovers an ancient artifact, believed to be a key to unlocking the world's true history and the secrets of the Ascendancy's origins.

The Versions That Shouldn't Exist
They survived the tests. They escaped the levels. But the system never let go-it evolved. After barely making it out alive, Alyssa, Ezra, and Oliver crash into Level Four-an unstable, corrupted realm made of shattered simulations and discarded clones. Here, every room holds a memory that shouldn't exist, and every shadow could be another version of them... more broken, more dangerous, and more desperate to survive. When Alyssa comes face-to-face with a twisted version of herself-one who knows things she hasn't even begun to understand-she's forced to ask the question she's never dared to face: What if I'm not the original? As loyalties crack and reality begins to fold, they'll have to fight more than the system. They'll have to fight themselves. Because the most dangerous enemy isn't what's outside the door. It's what you see when you open it... and it looks just like you.Complete
Sentilia
Maxine is an 18-year-old girl who is bored and lonely, living in California in the year 2351. She's always been fascinated with how humans used to live in houses, drive cars, and the fact that there used to be forests and parks everywhere. Now, after a war that nearly erased humanity, people are forced to live a strict, dull, communist lifestyle. Everyone seems okay with this way of life. Everyone except Maxine. Maxine had always been special; she was often able to predict events. How? She didn't exactly know...yet. When she starts having dreams about a tropical island where people live as they did in the 21st century, she meets the man of her dreams: literally. Her new boiling emotions bring her to wonder...what if it's a real place? When she starts her search for the island and bumps into Elis-the man in her dreams-she suddenly knows it wasn't all just a making of her imagination. Finding that island could mean finding the answers to her burning questions, and maybe even answers to questions she didn't know she had. However, not everything is what she thought it would be when she finally finds the island, and her dreams become a harsh reality. Elis turns out to be someone else, and when another man swoops in every time Maxine is in danger, she becomes confused about what love really is. The Advisors, the ten women governing the world, want to assimilate the people of the island, not knowing that those people have an extreme advantage over them. Maxine also learns that her family has been lying to her about who she really is. Ultimately, when the Advisors come to destroy the island, she must face the fact that she is the key to the island's salvation, and embracing her rapidly developing abilities is the only way to do so.Complete
