"I'm scared, Zoey." He said, cuddling against my side. I blew out a breath, wrapping my arm around him. A stray tear leaked out my eye and down my face.

"Don't be," I sniffed, my finger on the trigger.

"There's nothing to be scared of."

Between crossing paths with agents and trying to stay alive, she has to take care of her little brother, who just so happens to get kidnapped.

Will she be able to get her brother back unscarred, or will she choose survival over family?

STAR SOULDIER: Doctor Preventor by IGWElibrary
13 parts Complete
Dr. Zoey Ek was a top secret operative-in-training for the enigmatic Council Supreme of the Watchers, tasked with overseeing humanity's evolutionary tendency. Her mission was clear: observe, but never interfere. Unbeknownst to her, however, she was tested to ascertain her qualification status in carrying out this mission -- a test she failed. For in the line of her duty, an incident turned "accidentally" deadly. And Zoey made a fateful choice -- breaking protocol to save the life of an innocent, would-have-been-dead child. What she believed was an act of compassion was deemed a insubordination by the Watchers, a grave "sin" that disqualified her from her primary mission. As punishment, she was relegated to the ranks of the Preventors, a penitent role reserved for operatives who failed the Watchers' stringent tests. Now, Zoey has one chance at redemption: save the lives of 1,000 individuals targeted for sudden, inexplicable death across the globe -- all within 24 hours! Success will restore her honor and her place among the elite. Failure means an eternity as a Preventor, a shadow of her former self, forever haunted by the lives she could not save. Armed with extraordinary powers but racing against an impossible clock, Zoey must confront not only external forces but also the weight of her singular decision to save that child's life. Will she rise to the challenge, or will the burden of 1,000 lives prove too much, even for a superhuman?

"It's human nature. It's instinct to survive, no matter the cost." The world has fallen into desolation. The apocalypse has already started and finished, leaving some of the surviving ones with strange powers and mysterious scars. The world has ended, according to some, and is now in a state of rebirth. Others say it hasn't ended yet and that it's only going to get worse. The remaining people have grouped together in packs and gangs, raiding the desolate cities and avoiding the ones called the Destroyers, who capture and torture the remaining survivors. No one is safe. One fifteen year old boy knows this better than anyone. He and his older sister lived together, sticking to the dark alleys of their abandoned city, and survived for years after the apocalypse, until the Destroyers came and took her away, reigning terror on the few who remained in the city. The boy, desperate to find someone to help him save his sister, leaves the city and finds one of the youngest cooperative packs in North America, called the Raiders, comprised of unwanted individuals with the strange powers left from the destruction of years past. Their leader, a destructive insomniac, promises to help him in return for the skills and usefulness this young boy seems to possess, but something disrupting sends waves of unease through the Raiders, something about a forgotten past and talk of a mutiny. "Maybe there's more to life than just surviving." ... Rated C for Caution. Though it's rated mature, there is no bad language or vivid descriptions of sexual contact. It does have very strong themes. Please read the two important notices in the intro. Read at your own risk. Thanks.

The leader Blade Villain, the key to the aliens Lily Valerie and her three close friends Andy Lou, Angelica Leen, Cherry Morrow with Jax Damien who knows Blade, and Zane Lycan the lonewolf, lastly the brains of the group Nixon Jones. "Hold this for me." He held out a handgun to her surprise. "Do you know how to use this?" He asked. "No." She took it from his hand, moving it around in her palm, it was solid. Not as heavy as she thought it'd be. "It's a Glock 17, 9 mm gun. Very easy to use. Doesn't weigh much. You should be able to use it. It holds 17 rounds - " "Wait, you gave me a loaded gun?" Her eyes widened "Of course not. I don't want it going off or me getting shot by accident." He chuckled. "Here I'll show you how to use it." He placed his hands over hers, pointing the gun down for a moment. "So, for safety measures, you always keep the gun low. Most importantly when it is loaded." "Mmhm." Lily nodded as he continued giving her the gun lesson. She was shocked this is why he brought her in here. Maybe he was getting her ready for training. But her, no one else. "Alright, you take the magazine out. It has a magazine release button you must press first." He slid a black piece out of the gun, it was where the bullets were stashed. "Then, you load it up. I won't do that right now. But after that, you shove it back in. Then you cock the gun back, find a target and pull the trigger." "Oh, so it's that easy." She smirked. "Yeah, but how good is your aim?" He returned the smirk. His hands still clasped over hers holding the gun. "Well, do you think you can handle a gun now?" "I think so." She liked the warmth of his palms and the calluses on them. In this SciFi/romance find out, watch people lose the ones they love, and others find love, but hard struggles come along and these girls and boys are put through hell. Will they make it out alive?
