Eighteen -year-old Lydia Brynner wants nothing more than to hang out at Kingston University's science lab so she can study genetics and the side-effects of the Daemon Virus. She may not possess super powers like some other students who have inherited the virus over the centuries, but what she lacks in genetic mutations, she makes up for in tenacity and geekiness. 
  
Unfortunately, her perfect study plan is thrown off course when she is assigned to apprentice - aka *babysit* - the recently enrolled "Chosen One," a ridiculous girl more interested in partying her way across campus than attending class. Lydia might not understand all the details about the Chosen One's Medieval prophecy, but she definitely knows that the spoiled Krisette de Winters certainly won't be miraculously curing any diseases anytime soon. 
  
But when a new strain of the Daemon Virus infects a few students on campus, Lydia's job as Kris' apprentice becomes a whole lot more complicated with the arrival of her overbearing bodyguards. And just when Lydia finally feels like she's (mostly) got things under control, her best friend, Liz, is infected with the D-Virus. Terrified for Liz and determined to help, Lydia jumps into hyper-drive, researching every angle of the mysterious virus strain.
  
 As campus locks down around them -- parties cancelled, classes postponed -- Lydia discovers the truth isn't in how the virus is spreading -- but who is spreading it. Someone infecting students on purpose could only have one target: Krisette, the Chosen One, goddess reincarnate of the prophecies. This outbreak is morphing into something much bigger than Lydia could have ever imagined. Unsure of who to trust, Lydia races to find the culprit before the virus consumes her friends, her school, and her life.All Rights Reserved

The Slightest Touch by kdjayyyyy

Olivia Scott, a New York girl who thought her life was edging perfection with a loving family, luxury, and friends. But little did she know it was far from fairytale, and let alone ordinary. Born with the powers far more dangerous than any, she was led to believe her life was anything but special. Living in a world of deceit, she was adamant on the danger she was marked since the day she was born. But no secrets can remain untold. And she was bound to know them. She was bound to change everything with the help of a mysterious man who suddenly barged into her life. With a touch of fate, a sprinkle of emotions, and bounties on their head, the two hearts found each other as they fought together on a life-altering adventure in their journey to save their people and their world. ~~ "Why are you telling us this anyway?" She asked the man from the future, as he leaned back to the shelf behind him after finishing his explanation. His emerald-colored eyes met her blue ones as he pierced through them seemingly searching far deeper than his eyes could offer. He had longed for her, every minute, every hour and day, though it was far more than he could ever comprehend. But just seeing her in front of him, alive and young, it was all payed for. "Because the last time, I couldn't save you as you died in my arms. And I'm not letting it happen again." ~~ A dark secret kept with a birth of murder, a life of façade, a leap from the future, and a love bound to break. The heaven and earth will meet and only she can hold them in between. Will it be enough?

WARNING: Smoking, violence, and killing are included in this story. Not intended for a young audience. It's 2075, and currently 11 billion people walk the surface of this planet. Out of that number, my hometown Chantless takes up 64,730. Out of that, one of them is me. A few years ago, the government finally realized they needed to do something about our population. So they decided to make a game out of it. They call it "Do You Have Talent?" They say it's a game show that puts people's abilities and talents to the test. To see if they are worth keeping alive. So far, I've lost my father, my friend, and my brother to this little "game". And I may be next. But I won't let that happen. For I have a trick up my sleeve in my own game. ----------- Jasmine is a 16-almost-17 year old girl living in Chantless, a poor town located close to the ocean. She seems like an ordinary girl, struggling to survive with little food, contaminated water, and a stub of a hand every day, but she has a secret no one else knows. Unexpectedly, she is chosen to participate in "Do You Have Talent?"; a wicked and ruthless game show created by the government to handle overpopulation. She meets Liz and Bryan, two other contestants who have also lost family members from this heartless monstrosity. Jasmine befriends them, and finally she has something to lose in her life. But when time starts to run out, she will be forced to make a decision; save her friends, or continue to keep her power a secret?

Selected (Book 2 of the Immune Series) by AmyJohnson895

"As far back as I can remember, I've been surrounded by water. The salt in the air even now makes it hard to breath, forcing me to squint. Sand clings to every inch of me, caking my pants and shoes. The wind from the ocean picks my hair up, sending it blowing back towards the multi-colored houses lining the shore line. *** 'Quinn, don't panic,' Lexi says through gritted teeth. She holds fistfuls of my shirt now, and I hear the rubber soles of her shoes squeaking. 'Too late,' I whine, grabbing the barbed wire in a last desperate effort to regain some balance. The razor sharp blades cut into my palms, making me jump again. Lexi sucks in air and loses her grip on me. I hold my breath and close my eyes, feeling the wind cradle me from all sides as I fall at about twenty-four miles per hour, considering the height of the wall and my weight. Now, I wish I was surrounded by water." South of Compound 4, another compound exists. Within the wall of Compound 5, children are trained and tested for perfection through the Intelligence Exam, a test that every student takes during their sixteenth year. Pass, and you stay within the compound. Fail, and you are sent to another compound. It's common knowledge that they are building a perfect population to remain when the rest of the world falls to the Virus. Yet, what happens when Quinn faces the threat of Compound 5, a short blonde girl whose name he can't pronounce, and begins to question everything he's ever been taught, pushing the limits of the system and his own comfort zone? When a student receives the compound's first ever perfect IE score, a storm makes its way in from the ocean. Can Q unravel the secrets held within the walls, or will he lead his family and friends to a war they can't win against a woman who seems to be triumphing against all odds? Selected is the sequel to Immune, found on my profile. Record Ranking: #25 in Science Fiction

Gemstone Academy by marisalynn394

My eyes finally adjusted and I got a good look at the guy. Holy shit, he was HOT. He rivaled Lazarus, and that's saying a lot. He might even be more attractive than Elridge, wait no, I wasn't so sure about that one. Anyway, he had blonde wavy hair, milky skin that was clear from any imperfection, and he was tall. He was wearing a black long sleeved shirt that was fitted so you could see his muscles. There was something off about him though. Oh, I know what it was. His eyes were bright purple. Then he blinked and they were sky blue. What the...? Maybe it was just a trick of the light. ----- Elizabeth Huntress is only second in line for the crown for her country, but she wants to be queen bad. Her parents agree to give her a chance by sending her to Gemstone Academy. Although, Elizabeth quickly learns that there's more to Gemstone Academy than meets the eye.

Elizabeth may just learn that the biggest secret isn't about the school, but about her, and she's in danger because of it. Will Elizabeth be able to survive her first year at Gemstone Academy?

Life is but a Vale of Tears by Fairytale_Fabler

[ Dark Romantasy / Mature ] The Vampyres of Gale are amid a flesh-eating pandemic, and Faerie tears are the only known cure. Livinia, a Faerie healer, joined the Human side of a Vampyre war in Nival to avoid scandal and the captivity of an arranged marriage. Upon "Liv's" return to her icy homeland, she gets put into real chains. She may have leverage, but it's not something that will set her free, at least not quickly. The Nightcaster Court is treacherous. They are rich, haughty, and powerful, but they haven't been hostile toward Faerie-kind since the "Vale of Tears" earned its name. It was before Liv's time, but it isn't any wonder why her people fled Crystal Hollows at the first sign of crisis. Liv can try bargaining for the freedom she never had, but, as a rule, the Nightcasters are fickle, cruel, and can't be trusted. To complicate things further, there's Corbin, the ailing heir - gifted, powerful, grateful for a second chance. He's everything his family is not, but a Vampyre is still a Vampyre, and love isn't love if there are chains attached to it. | ONC2025 Shortlist | - Now being expanded into a full-length novel.

Prophecy | George Weasley (COMPLETE) by imweirdthatway

"I like you George, but I can't" "Why not?" "Because I'm going to die" •~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~ Astrid is not your typical Ravenclaw. She doesn't study, she isn't smart and she has gotten stuck out of the Common room way too many times. George Weasley fell for the girl the moment he saw her but what if that wasn't the first time he'd seen her? Or even fallen for her? Every story has a villain. Without a Villain there's no hero/ heroine. In this story our villain isn't a person but the concept of death itself. ~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~ A/N I FOUND A LOT OF IDEAS FOR THIS BOOK ON PINTEREST AND TUMBLR. Unfortunately I couldn't list them, I'll try my best to give credit to as many as I can. So if you recognize something as headcannon or a writing prompt, it's probably from Pinterest or tumblr.

Thicker Than Blood by leptr180

About 20 years ago, a disease swept through decimating the majority of the worldwide population with type-O blood, both negative and positive. Very few were spared the debilitating and fast killing disease, and the ones who did survive were sought after for their unique blood and antibodies to the disease all in the name of science. Doctors around the world scrambled to figure out the disease, but one Stephen Mitchell was an intern at the local hospital at the onset of the outbreak and was a part of the discovery and eventually the cure. It seemed his life would be then filled with interviews in magazines and on tv, and great fame... but someone else collected on that. So, instead of becoming famous, Mitchell became a high school teacher and assistant department chair to Harry Kristiansen, the science department chair, at a boarding school for overly privileged kids. Jobs given to them seemingly out of nowhere. Things seem normal, the day-to-day boring with students coming in and out of the classrooms. But their blackmailer is interested in saving his lover, not normality. In order to save her, they need to find the very thing that has eluded medicine for close to 20 years, finding people with type-O blood to harvest. The very thing that should be easy, is proving difficult for Harry and Mitchell until the addition of a third partner. This partner seems to be a Godsend, able to find participants to appease their blackmailer, until he is no more. Fearful of their lives and for their families, the two men try to figure a way out. One wants to tell and be over with it, the other wants to use a different tactic. Yet telling the truth will cause more people to die. However, not telling the truth causes more people to die. Can Harry and Mitchell make it out with their sanity and their lives?
