"The aliens are scared of tattoos, they think they're some kind of powerful symbol of people that can kill them off like they're doing to us.."
I processed the little girl's information for a second before grinning devilishly at her innocent and fearful freckled face.
"So lets trick them..."
Aliens have landed on earth almost wiping out the human race, but there are people left. People slowly gathering information about these aliens to someday regain the planet.
But these people are also extremely afraid. Which is the bigger battle, fear or the aliens?

Thicker Than Water Vol: 1
After what some may call a massive human extermination, life expectancy on earth is slim to none and whatever is left is basically hopeless. Survivors have split into factions and are forming rival gangs in which they are disappearing at exponential rates due to government kidnappings. Rumor is, the government is planning a meta human attack by altering the dna of those who've been taken. Once word is out everyone has to decide whether gang related battles are more important than life itself as they know it. If that isn't enough they join forces with omniscient beings, extraterrestrials, and some beings that cant really be put into one category. They find that the government isn't all laws and science and that the battle they're facing is way more complex than they could have ever imagined.Complete

No Sacrifice Too Great | COD WW2 Story
"No mission too difficult, no sacrifice too great." The words of wisdom and bravery. Being the only female in the platoon was no different from being another guy. Everyone treats me the same as they do with everyone else. I just...wish it stayed that way. Now, I feel like a distraction, rather than a comrade. | This story is inspired by Call Of Duty WWII. I only own part of the storyline, but a majority of it is owned by Sledgehammer Games. |Complete

Medic x Reader ~ My Shining Star 🌟
[ Location : New Mexico; Teufort City ] Muffled screams could be heard from a mile away. Clacking of feet trailed behind the panic. "Get that bloody bogan!" Sniper shouted, carrying his Hitman's Heatmaker. Following behind him was Spy, shouting, "Oh mom dieu! After this, I am going to be visiting your mother!!!". Running behind spy was a sentry of what looked to be a Heavy. The blu Pyro glanced around quickly and saw a blu Teleporter to the right of him. He ran as fast as he could, entering the Teleporter and to safety. "We'll get em' next time, mates. Don't need to worry, that mongrel prolly' didn't get far anyway." Sniper reassured. They all headed back to the rest of the battle. [SIDE NOTE] Hey guys! So if you read this, here's a side note. I am not totally accurate with these characters and I'm not totally accurate with the map. I do these stories because I enjoy writing them. I tried my best to do research and make the story fit as best as I could. Also I am not the best writer, so I'm sorry if I made a mistake in spelling or punctuation. I tried to organize the text, too. I made sure you can read the dialogue without having to "search" for it in a conundrum of words. That's always annoying. Please don't yell at me if you didn't like the ending, or how an event played out. It's really my story, so I can do what I want with it. That's all I really have to say. I know, I had to say a lot. XD Enjoy your read~ -Marina 🍋Complete
Differential
Different- 1) Not the same as another, or each other; Unlike in nature, form or quality. I thought being different was a good thing. You know, the whole 'Im not conforming to you' deal. I thought I was unique, my own person. Apparently not everyone thinks being different is a good thing. They're afraid of my difference. Maybe it's my long white hair? Or my glowing silver eyes? Or it could just be because.... I'm not fully human. I tried to keep it a secret. Really I did. I knew the consequence of something like this getting out. So my secret stayed a secret. All until the day the little girl walked out in front of the truck.Complete
The experiment.
They used my vulnerability against me. They used that weapon, to make me accept their stupid idea. And I of course, accepted it, I didn't even know what they were going to do. They tugged and poked and even shoved their disgusting finger in your wound, just to see you cry. To see you change. No pitty in their eyes. They just continue. They drag you around with metal chains, hit you and turn you into a experiment. But I had enough of the tugging, the clawing, the moaning, the crying and pleading for them to stop, but simply feeding them with our pain. They turned me into something, that neither do they know what I am. Their afraid of me, of my reflexes, my strength. I killed a lot of them. They say I have a cold heart, that I don't feel nothing. That's why they call me: Death -----------------------------------------************************************--------------------------------------------- Death.

Link City
When you're marked you have two choices; fight or die. Nance lives in the past, literally. Her city is a recreation of early twenty-first century society. To the outside world they're experiments, just rats running around a maze. In an impoverished future world, the city seems to be their only chance of finding where they went wrong, or so they say. Nance doesn't know the real purpose of her home, and she doesn't care. All she sees are the one hundred teenagers, just like her, who are killed every year in the barbaric ritual known as the marking. They tattoo your face and pit you against your peers, against the city. Nance doesn't know why, but it doesn't matter, because she's sixteen and it's her turn to be marked. **So I decided to replace the original story with the rewrite because they are pretty much exactly the same. Plus, it's a lot less complicated then having two separate books for the same story.** There is a * next to all rewritten chapters. THE ORIGINAL VERSION IS COMPLETE. IT'S JUST NOT MARKED AS SUCH BECAUSE I GAVE UP ON THE REWRITE.Complete
