Dark. Red. Ironic to the end. At least, that's what they swore on the playground. At least, that's what they said they would do.
But now Dark is running from a government task force, now Red is staring at the ashes of Dark's house-- a fire she set-- and they're wondering if everything's changed. If they aren't best friends anymore, if they're the enemies they should have been from the beginning.
Dark is trying to bring down the terrorist controlled government, and Red is helping them find her, mostly against her will. They have one more chance to make up-- a town called Irony in the middle of the desert.
Is their friendship truly beyond reckoning, or can they save themselves (and maybe their friends) from the fire they started?

The story is about a group of friends. They're about to graduate from high school and step into their respective college life. On one hand they have the immense pressure of the school final exam and on the other hand they're filled with nostalgia. They're about to close one chapter of their life and step into another one.

They'll become the past tense while a new batch takes their place and a new future waits for the present one to become past. So, everyone's busy making one last memory. Some eager to bid farewell to their friends, some taking one last shot to propose to their crushes or some maybe just want to get it over with. Overall everyone's busy trying to make their ending(of school life) a happy ending. But the pursuit of a happy ending isn't always happy. Complications are very real things. As they step out of adolescence and step into adulthood they get acquainted with real world problems, some more serious than others. [updates every Wednesday / Thursday]

How will her gang respond to her decision to become a hero will they try to kill her or let it go. There is a lady who also knows about what Sky can do and will try to eliminate her at all costs no matter on her decision. So sit tight for some adventure, action and science fiction. (There is no swearing or really gross romantic stuff. Except has quite a bit of violence and some humor, unless my jokes are pathetic. So besides a little bit of violence this story is clean) Anyway she ends up meeting a few enemies Blood Arrow, The Pirate gang( who will stop at nothing to try and kill her) , the Red Dark Flame criminal army and Ernestine (The sociopath that can control Sky's mind.) Anyway I may have made the story sound boring (because I seem to make everything seem boring when i explain in not that much detail.) But trust me I have planned stuff to keep you entertained. I hope you enjoy the story and have a great week. P.S This is my first story so all feedback is wanted, but you don't have to.Complete

Title Erased (Love)
A one shot about a romance revolving around a futuristic institute's cultural festival. As it is, even future soldiers have a normal high-school life. The story is set in the future, where children are trained from an early age, by the permission of their parents, (unless of course, they are orphans) to become Knights. They then become part of the military. Nina is such a child, who joined the V_ four years ago. She's infamous for her wild nature and blatant disregard of the rules and the Student Council. And then, by some blighted twist of fate, she finds herself a House Prefect. Enter Azerkin Schwann, suave, cool, mysterious and with a permanent train of fangirls. Unbeknownst to the rest of the world, Nina finds a close friend in the drool-worthy Schwann. Everything is going on perfectly; except for a pack of man-killer cyborg wolves, an insanely powerful rival-in-battle, whose aim in life seems to be throwing challenge after challenge at Nina, and the Senior Troublemaker of the School's latest game :- 'Set fire to a pile of straw'. Well, that's not much, after all, what can a pile of straw do? Nothing, unless there's a stack of fireworks underneath. And that's the least of her worries when Nina's fallen head over heels for Schwann. This is a work of fiction, and the characters introduced are purely fictional. Any resemblance in name or character is unintentional. Just sayin' since this is basically my first story using normal names and settings. The story is currently a one shot. I may develop it further if there's a positive response from my readers. Positive, as in comments and votes.Complete
The Impossibilities of Us
"What are these feelings you're talking about?!" he questions still yelling. "That I fucking like you, Daniella Jamie Grey!" I yell. "And I fucking like you too, Arabella May Jhonson!" he yells back. And the next thing I know is that we're no longer yelling. I hadn't even noticed that we went closer and closer to each other until I felt his breath on my lips and his nose nuzzling against mine as he bent to my level, his body towering over mine. I pull him to me and smash my lips onto his and it barely took a second for him to respond to it. ~~~~~ Arabella Jhonson and Daniel Grey unite. How they met each other, you may ask? They met each other because Arabella's cousin and Daniel's father are dating. There's definitely a spark when they met and the spark began to grow as they hung out with each other day by day, especially since they'll be living under the same roof for a little more than three weeks. Oh and not to mention that Daniel lives in Australia, away from Arabella, and he's only come to visit. But that's when the impossibilities come in to play. For one, aren't they technically going to be related if her cousin and Daniel's dad get married? And not only for that reason, but many other reasons that will be revealed as the story progresses. This'll be a story about two teens who go through struggles and a romance between them that seems more than likely to be impossible. Not only do other people get in the way of this romance, but their minds as well. Their minds that remind them why they can't work. And their minds that have their own fears. But can their romance find a way through it all? Or will it all just fall apart? Warning: Contains strong languageComplete
