~The Gifted: Book 1 ~ Ember (REVISED) ~
--------
The monster inside me is growing.

It strengthens with every snapped neck and slit throat and charred body I leave in my wake. It feeds on every regret, every flash of guilt, every sweeping tide of sorrow. It feeds and feeds and feeds until there's no regret, no sorrow, no guilt left. That's the day I stop feeling. The day I forget that every body I add to the pile was a person, that they had a family, they had friends, they had a life before I took it all away. That's the day I've been running from this whole time. The day the monster consumes me. The day the monster becomes me.

I fear that day is drawing near. And I am terrified.
--------

The Storms Within by Amistyl

"When the world shatters, their powers awaken. But can they control the storm inside?" In a quiet town surrounded by lush mountains, Zariah "Zee" Torres and her close-knit group of friends embark on what should be a peaceful break from their chaotic school lives. A day of fun at the falls and a campfire at the top of a mountain turns into something they could never have imagined. When an explosion rips through the sky, the impact leaves them unconscious and sends shockwaves through their lives. When they awaken, they find themselves back in their rooms, seemingly unharmed. But something is wrong. An invisible force stirs inside them-powers that shouldn't exist. As they grapple with their new abilities, they discover they are far from ordinary. The explosion was no accident, and the world they once knew is about to change forever. As the girls try to understand their powers, they are drawn into a dangerous web of secrets, betrayal, and an ancient force that threatens not only their lives but the very fabric of their reality. With the help of new allies-and enemies-they must face their greatest challenge yet: learning to control their powers before they are consumed by them. Will they be able to harness the storm within, or will they fall prey to the forces that seek to destroy them?

The Darkness in the Light by djscloud

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!

(REWRITING) The Skylar Experiment : Coveting by NoppityNope666

"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.
