There was a stranger, one with numerous phone calls to make and an appointment in a few minutes. Walking down the busy streets of Northwood, this stranger would not notice the girl's return at all. Even if the stranger just happened to glance at her, it would simply be a normal teenage girl that would be seen. There would be nothing, albeit the girl's red hair, that would make the girl stand out. However, with another glance into what this girl had just gone through, and where this girl would end up going, the story would be completely different.
At first, she was just a normal girl. Emerald lived the life of a talented, enjoyable teenager. But a move turned into a trap. An escape turned into a kidnapping. A stranger turned into family. And talented turned into powerful.
So a normal life changed into an adventure, and a warless world started to become a home of conflict. As a result, there's a story to tell now.

BROKEN COURAGE (Lucas & Emilia Book 3)
While tortured and held captive as a prisoner of war, she became my reason to keep breathing. The force that fueled my will to fight. To survive. When I woke after the rescue to discover the life I thought I was coming home to was but a figment of my imagination, hallucinations brought about by pain, desperation, and isolation... it nearly broke me. Fifteen years since I first lost her, at last, we have a second chance. Holding her in my arms, finally feeling the warmth of her skin as she melts under my touch, is like a dream. She and her two little girls are now as essential to my existence as the air I breathe. However, just as things start falling into place, the universe steps in, threatening to take it all away. I used to think that choosing her cost me everything I'd ever loved, but now I see that in choosing her and her children, I have the chance to reclaim all that I lost. They are my salvation. My true path to redemption. Which is why I'll leave no stone unturned, why I will scorch this world to the ground if that's what it takes to save them. And when I do, I will fight to convince her once and for all they are meant to be mine, just as I was destined to be theirs. In the Broken Redemption Series, one man's vow to protect the woman he lost becomes a battle between redemption, forgiveness, and the kind of love that refuses to let go. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This is Book 3 of Lucas & Emilia's Broken Redemption arc, the emotional conclusion to their story. For the full journey, start with Book 1: Broken Vows.Complete

Wanting to be a superhero and becoming one, are two completely different things. But becoming the opposite? That's way easier. And sometimes it's not on purpose. Fate didn't want me to be a hero. I was a fairly normal girl, growing up in Central City. A city where superheroes and super villains didn't exist... until the particle accelerator exploded. Many people were turned into these metahumans, me being one of them. Likely one of the only changed nine year olds at the time. My parents were both scientists for Star Labs, being two of the many others that died in the blast. Needing to get away, I decided to move to Gotham. A good city to hide in. Maybe it wasn't the best city to move to, but, in the end, I'm glad I did. In the crazy town, I was adopted by the two craziest people there. The Deranged Duo, Harley Quinn and Joker. "Rescued by villains, who knew?" I say. "Villains rescue fellow villains," Joker says. "Sounds funny coming from you," I scoff. "Aww, is that the way you should treat your saviors?" Joker teases. "I could've taken them," I scoff. "Why did you save me?" "We watched you take out the last group of thugs," Harley says. "We've been looking for a protégé, sorta like how Batsy has that sidekick, Robin, was it?" Joker grins. "We like you. You're funny." ...

The Darkness in the Light
For over a hundred years, humanity has lived in fear of the monsters that roam the streets, lurking in the drains below. Women and their daughters hide, protected in their homes, while men take their sons through the world, teaching them the responsibilities of having a family to feed and dangers to avoid. No one leaves the home unless it's essential, and most of the world prefers it that way. Until one girl spends her days perched on her window seat, looking down at the world below and dreaming of a different life. Her eyes are always drawn to the dark, ominous drains in the street, the ones that often blink open to swallow and person whole. One day, that person is her little brother, snatched right in front of her from their arms of their father and gone forever. When a person is snatched, they never return, and life goes on without them. But she can't accept that. Breaking all the rules, all the things she's ever known, she braves the world outside her little townhouse and goes on a mission into the darkness to find her brother. Only, it's soon her that becomes the one lost to the drains. To survive she must rediscover her world, and in the process, rediscover herself. She will be reunited with old friends, gain new ones, find out deeper secrets about her past than she ever could have imagined, and learn that the world is even more corrupt than she always thought. *** This story contains sexist ideology, mention of cheating, some gruesome scenes, and a whole lot of monsters and darkness. It isn't overly mature... there isn't much explicit language or sexual scenes, but there is a bit of violence, so just keep that in mind... and despite all that negativity, ENJOY!Complete
REVEALED
Night has always been alone. Abandoned at birth and raised in an orphanage, he learned to live with the pain of being forgotten. Though the caretakers were kind, their warmth never seemed to reach him, and school was even worse-a place where bullies thrived, and no one cared enough to help. The weight of loneliness became unbearable, pushing him to run away. But on that fateful night, just as he thought it was all over, a mysterious being saved him from the brink of death. The next morning, Night woke up, confused and shaken. Had he really survived? Or was something else at play? His world turned upside down when a new student transferred to his class-someone who looked exactly like him. Light, the new student, was the opposite of Night. Warm, kind, and strangely familiar, he seemed to know more about Night than he let on. As Light walked into his life, things began to change. The bullies who tormented Night suddenly hesitated, and for the first time, someone stood up for him. But there was something unnatural about Light-something that defied reason. As Night's past unravels and the truth behind Light's existence comes to light, he will have to confront the questions he never dared to ask. He will have to ask questions for the truth to be revealed. Who is Light? Why does he know Night so well? And why, for the first time in his life, does Night feel like he truly belongs?

She makes friends with the other kids, and they all join up against the scientists at the school, those that like to do tests and even experiments on them. Will the group ever escape the school? Or will the appearance of a new teen and 'experiment C' do them in?Complete
