Casey and her siblings, along with their aunt, are on the run. Pursued since their parents deaths 6 years before, The Dougals must use whatever tools they have to escape.

Like Emma's mind reading, Rance's shielding, Tanny's diamond hard skin, and Casey's shadow-shaping.

They have eluded the Chat Noir-- a mystical and sadistic society of assassins, trackers and geniuses shrouded in death and bloodshed based in Canada-- for 6 years now, since their parents Sybil and Aaron were murdered by the Chat Noir.

Casey and her family have been hunted town to town, city to city, state to state, with nowhere to go, nowhere to call home.

But the Chat Noir aren't the only people looking for the Dougals. A government run facility for people with powers, which Casey, Emma, and Rance's parents worked for is on their trail too-- but for different reasons.

Leo only has one person he can depend on: himself. But he's not even sure he can trust himself anymore. His sister is bitter after a gunshot wound leaves her a paraplegic, his mother is emotionally devoid after the brutal murder of his father 6 years before, and his little brother-- Leo isn't sure Shay's all that there.

It seems like any other mission-- get the mutant, get out, come back-- but when Casey, Emma, and Rance Dougal's files land on his eggs and bacon, along with their aunt's, Intan "Tanny" Halyn's, nothing will be the same again. The first time he met her, it was nothing new. But the second time? Cataclysmic.

Betrayal is imminent for both of them though, and unseen forces change the fabric of the lives they once lived.

(BS i know, but i'm horrible at these things)

In which two ex-step-siblings reconnect after just about blowing up their family the first time around... Three years ago, Maddie fell hard for Jacob Isaacs, the smartest boy in her school. The only problem was this: Her dad had quite literally gotten engaged to his mother. The two tried to dampen the flames of their burgeoning attraction for each other but not before they got caught and were the talk of the town for months. After the fall out, Maddie moved away to try and start her life over and not be known as the girl who got caught doing it with her 'brother' at prom. She hasn't seen her family in ages and intends to keep things that way. Jacob, on the other hand, has worked hard to accomplish everything he's ever dreamed of. He's stayed close to home, done exceptionally well at school, and is adored by just about everyone who meets him. There's only one problem: There's a Maddie-shaped hole where his heart used to be. But no matter how hard he tries to reach out and find her, he can't. She won't let him. He let her down and gave up on them when she needed him most. And she's not ready to forgive and forget. But then Maddie's dad passes and she's forced to come home for his funeral. It should be a quick visit. She intends to make it one. But Jacob has other plans. He let his girl slip through his fingers once and he won't let that happen again. So now he has to convince her to give him one more chance. After all, they're not related to each other anymore.
"Goodbye Curly Head" by NUmaker

Through thick and thin the Law shall prevail. A new sense of purpose awaits us, children of light, in the land where it all began. The darkness in which we once cowered in fear, now curbed by the might of our endless light. Come, brothers, come, sisters. Let there be peace among the wicked, just as the Law dictates. Peace and certainty is all that you have ever longed for, little angel. A bright, stable future. A roof without holes above thy head. Acknowledgement and recognition of thy existence, feverish dreams of grandeur. Greed born from yearning, treacherous vines of rapacity taint your innocent soul. You seek a future that does not exist. Let thy fingers hold the fragile line between dream and nightmare. Let thy light navigate the path. Shall thee give in and falter, O' land of old, envelop his body in thy unending flame of chaos. Spit out nothing but an empty husk, the remnants of a smile once so bright. Shall thee prevail, O', Great Kazdel, I ask of you, the impossible - take mercy on the innocent. Don't let the radiance dim and don't let the mind turn bleak. Wake, young traveler. Bid thy farewells and burn thy bridges. It's time to say goodbye, curly head. Cross post from AO3. For a shorter and more on-point description, look no further! I had something silly written up before throwing it out in exchange for that wall of text upstairs. It's a little story "about a young, dumb sankta who's been dealt a bad hand at life, looking for his place in all this mess. The pointless search for a better future leads him far, far away from home, to a country forever ravaged by war and misery - Kazdel, the promised land where devils roam free and peace feels out of place." Anyway, it's quite lengthy, but hopefully enjoyable? Slide a comment if you want, I'll give you a tiny kiss on the forehead. Man, do I love comments. (Lastly, to point out, English is not my native language, but I don't think it'll be much of an issue ;3)

"Three weeks. That's how long I got to have drama-free. I'm not sure what is happening to me or to Oakwood. Nothing's the same since I rolled into town and it just keeps getting weirder. Suspicious agents in suits roam the streets without an explanation. They're staring straight at me. The new Chemistry teacher is NOT who he says he is. I'm doing things I never thought I could. Like, mutant-level things... Lauren, Luc's dead twin sister, hid something from everyone. Something important that may have lead to her demise and that could lead to ours. Hunters are in town. I never knew four words could contain so much dread and terror. I'd rather deal with the Wanderers. I'm on the brink of a breakdown. I need help..." BOOK #2 IN THE SERIES! Ignorance is not bliss... In the wake of ridding Oakwood of Wanderers, other dangers come creeping in and they're somehow linked to Luc's absent twin. The past returns to haunt the mutants in inconspicuous ways. Riley's life is yet again in jeopardy, but this time she's not alone. Luc and his family are all thrown into the teetering balance. More secrets are uncovered. A trap dawns on them all. Invisible threats start crawling from all directions. Who is the real enemy? TW : behaviours of depression and PTSD are displayed. I don't name them, but one of the character will be struggling a lot. It may not be suitable for everybody. Other adult matters are briefly included, but nothing explicit or intense. Rewriting specifications : the main points of the story and end of the book will remain the same, am just going to change a few ways of getting there and adding some extra spice. Feel free to pause the read until the REWRITING sign disappears.

THIS HAS BEEN RE-UPLOADED UNTIL THE REWRITE OF BOOK 3 HAS BEEN COMPLETED. UNTIL THEN, YOU CAN ENJOY THIS COMPLETED VERSION. THANK YOU.* There comes a time when someone comes along to wreak havoc in our world. They make us question everything we thought we knew. Even about ourselves. For Kale Ray, he's not so sure if, when that moment arises, is a good thing or not. Subtle moments with a certain someone, since his first arrival at Blood Moon Falls, has made him undeniably uncomfortable. His initial instinct is to leave well enough alone. Then out of the blue, Kale decides to step out of his comfort zone and do the unthinkable: Befriend Easton. But the once happy-go-lucky Werewolf won't make it so easy. After losing his twin sister seven years prior in a battle between Societal Hunters and Werewolves, Easton is now moodier than Kale's cousin, Thea, which is saying something! Helping Easton heal is a lot easier said than done with the Were's blue-eyed icy gaze, his flip-flop moments of kind gestures, and Kale trying to wrestle alcoholic beverages out of the Were's hands. Bottom line: Kale's gotta lot of work to do. But you know what the problem with mending a broken heart is...? Having no warning what that person is doing to yours. ***WARNING: MATURE CONTENT***
