Each year, the Council selects a kid with a bottled star. If they break the bottle and manage to contain the supernova, they become a god. It they break it and don't contain it, they die.
50/50 chance of becoming a god? What a chance, right? Anyone would take it if they could. It's just sad that the Colony council are the only ones who decide who goes. It's also sad that I didn't want to go.
But guess who they chose? Me, of course.
I'm the logical choice, though. My hair is the brightest blue of any other kid here, meaning I have the highest concentration of Aether blood running through me. The Aether are the race that, at one time, mixed with humans, resulting in a generation of half-human, half-Aether weirdos. Oh, and the Aether wielded the power of stars.
Only one half-breed has been able to wield a star. His name was Eta. He built our Colony with a thought. He's been gone a while, but everyone here still worships him, especially the Colony Council, who tries every year to create a god that rivals our old one.
Me? Oh, I'm just the blue-headed soon-to-be-explosively-disintegrated Ryn, who has a date with the council tomorrow so that they can prep me for my fiery death.

"So!" he murmured, eyes full of malice, "it seems you have a choice!" He gestured to Serlina and Xenia. "Both beautiful, both powerful. One can save you, the other can save her world. Choose one, or both shall die." Chistian visibly shook. "I-I can't..." he whispered. "So this is your descision?" "No! I don't-" "Silence! You've made your choice. Live with it, boy!" the old man's voice suddenly boomed. And just like that, darkness reigned. ~~~ When Satan becomes jealous of God's humans, he creates demons to kill them off.

Escaping My Shadows
The novel started as a short story that was submitted to a writing contest (didn't win). It is very loosely based upon the Babylon 5 Universe (telepaths, shadows, plethora of different races, etc.). I still continued to think about the story and how it ended without a final resolution (though the story did have an ending, it left a lot of questions about the protagonist). Thanks to the obsession and compulsion I have with writing (it's a blessing and a curse) I decided to continue the story to final resolution. This is it. A race called the Chitoxan came from an unknown area of space and declared war on the races making up the Earth-Alliance. More technically advanced than the races they encounter, the overwhelming power of the shadow vessels results in most battles ending in complete defeat for the Earth-Alliance. Only by massing fire on an individual shadow vessel or, in extremely desperate situations, committing suicide with a ship's reactor overload, can a shadow vessel be defeated. Earth and Earth-alliance colonies are slowly being conquered and occupied by Chitoxa. The humans on these occupied colonies are enslaved and forced to serve the Chitoxan's every need. A young man volunteers for the Space Marines during the Chitoxan war. Upon induction, he discovers that he is 'blessed' with unique abilities. However, these abilities cause his life to be changed drastically and terribly. He is taken away and forced into a never-ending nightmare. After a quick and violent encounter between Earth and Chitoxa, another Earth fleet is beaten and is almost wiped out. The surviving ship gets a lucky shot at an attacking shadow vessel, slicing off one of its appendages. The pain and shock of the loss does something to the human controller of the battle crab....Complete
Angel (Cody Daniels Book 1)
I'm Cody Daniels. Average fifteen year old guy; my life revolves around my mates, football and girls. I guess the only thing abnormal about me is that I'm a demon-angel hybrid who could start a demonic apocalypse and destroy the world as we know it. But I'm pretty normal other than that... My mum died in childbirth, so after my dad disappeared ("presumed dead"), I moved in with my Aunt Suzie, who I'd never met before. It took me a while to settle in in my new school, but I finally did it- I had mates, a place in the football team and my future career as a football player was looking solid. Then the weird shit started to happen. Understandably, being told that I was a half-angel, half-demon hybrid came as a bit of surprise to me. However, being told that as the aforementioned hybrid I was the only one who could unlock the gates to Hell, and therefore I was basically Scarlett Johansson to the demons (yeah, they all want me) came as even more of a shock. So, with every demon not in Hell after my booty, I'm going to track down my demonic dad, set the record straight and earn the respected title of 'Angel' in my new community... Psshht. No biggie...Complete
Faith💙
Having faith in something that literally isn't there but is is tiring. Also, the world hates you and you have to fight against the one thing you can't escape, sin. Choosing to fight this battle puts a target on your mind and sometimes body, and it can make or break you. ... Seems useless, right? Maybe, but it isn't, because either way it goes, we can't change it. It's scary, new, fun, and boring all at the same time. It's... not something humans would regularly do. But I'm taking the challenge and attempting to make it to a place called Heaven. Just read it, I'm not fighting you, I'm fighting FOR you. *I'm BEGGING A STRANGER!!!* As you know, I am a NEW Christian.👌👍👏❤😳😜 (and yes, best decision of my life, you should try it) HOWEVER, I am also human, which means Sin😈 Sweet, EVIL, Sin. (Chile, anyways, so!) In this story, you'll read about how I deal with Sin and do a terrible job at fighting what comes with loving the King of Kings at this stage of life.... PSA: I'm a working progress, and my POV of life is just WAY OFF! Another PSA from months after the book was finished: Please disregard the unorganized book! I was at a fiery point and my mind was wilding.Complete
Abnormal Little Me (Completed)
"You actually thought you could get away from me, didn't you, Rishka?" I turned around, shaking. Sadist was standing there, a creepy smile on his face. No, this wasn't real, I was safe. He chuckled coldly. "You really think you have a soul-mate? Be realistic, no one wants you. A broken wolf, soiled by another one. Who would love such a thing? You're still unable to change to your wolf form. Are you even allowed to be call a werewolf? Come back here and maybe I'll be lenient." No, I have a soul-mate. He loves me. He told me. I believe him. "Don't be stupid. If he exists, where is he? You're all alone here. Nobody is coming to save you." **************** When she was growing up, Lyra only had one dream: to see the stars. Now that she is older, she traded it for another one: to die. Even if she was rescued, was she really saved? Scars don't fade easily but her soulmate will make sure she can heal, even if it means not being by her side. Clichés I have broken: √ Main character is special √ Main character's soulmate is the King √ Main character was abused √ Happy ending (Tell me if I forgot something and, damn, I did not expect to be so cliché D: ) Clichés I have NOT broken: √ Main character is rejected by her soulmate √ Main character rejects her soulmate √ Main character gets pregnant √ Main character's soulmate is the "bad boy" or "cruel" type √ "Mine"/ "Mate" he growled. So if you want to read a story without these, you're in the right place! **************** Thanks to Distinctive for the amazing cover! I love it so much (It's my iPod's background) <3 Don't let the number of chapters scare you, they are only about 1000 words each. This is my first story so comments will be much appreciated. Love you all :) Also, if you ever have trouble with the weird names I gave my characters, there is a video of me saying their names in chapter 26. My accent is weird on it, blame that on the fact that I'm French-Canadian :PComplete
Devon's Decision's
He has two kids that are his world. His Alpha just sent him to another pack as part of a deal. There are now two men that want to be a part of his world. But can he choose between the man who seems to be a dream come true, and the man who took him from the only home his children knew? Excerpt: "It's nice to meet you sir." I say quietly. "Alpha I'm going to start work, did you need anything before I did?" I ask hoping I can get out of this room. I didn't know why they were talking about me but I was sure it wasn't good. "Yes. I'm sure you recognized his name." Alpha says. I just nod in reply. Alpha Andrews was alpha of a nearby pack that had been wanting a treaty with us. A treaty covered a lot of things. It just depended on the two packs. A little fear tickled my brain. It was not unusual to give Omega's as part of a treaty. It was also not unusual to keep their kids when you sent the Omega to another pack. "Your alpha and I have joined in a business venture with a pack angle. I have land I want to build on, he has the ability to actually build. With this venture we'll both gain a lot. But we want to make an agreement, you know that if a pack mates inside the lines too much they can eventually start inbreeding. We'll make a treaty of mating. A few years of that and the two packs will be stronger and with the build we'll be financially well off." I nod and swallow. "Yes, I've heard of treaties like that." "You are going to be the first we send to his pack." Fear runs through me. My kids?Complete
My Lucky Star (Complete)
There are two stories in this book. #1. My Lucky Star What would you do to change your fate? Pray with all your heart. Then give all your bad luck to someone who really care for you. Would you be able to do that? That's what little Daniel did to his childhood friend. Maybe the bad luck made her crossed dressed into male clothes half of her life. Or maybe the freedom given by the clothes. In the end, it's Jules' choice ***** Jules says, "People said a Lady is weak and helpless. They certainly never met me." She adds, "My name is Jules Knight. I'm my own savior. I don't need a man like you to solve all my problems." What crossed her male friend's minds... "Hard to win her heart. She is even more gentleman than I." "You taught me to accept flaws. There's beauty in imperfection. You crossed over and tossed my life upside down. Now I could no longer return to my old life." "She is like my evil twin. We devoured desserts in all the shops we ventured." #2. It started with a LIE "It's okay. Think of this marriage as a simple way to end our problems. Three years later, we shall abolish it. You would have a chance to marry the Lady you love." Ian stares her with unblinking eyes. Abby is a beautiful Lady. Not lacking suitors. He asks, "What did you get from this marriage?" "Freedom. Father is very ill. He wanted me to marry before he died. I don't want him to arrange my marriage with a stranger. At least we are childhood friends." "What if he didn't die in three years?" "It doesn't matter. My beloved would come by that time. He would take me away, far from England." One simple lie. It started their marriage in the wrong path. "Tris, my love for you is never a lie."Complete
