"Maxine Parks."
"Great. That's great." She pulled out a flip note book and a pen. "Maxine, can you tell me where you've been?"
"No."
"Maxine, this is really very crucial to your case, we-,"
"Stop. She doesn't know. She doesn't remember anything. She came to my class, she thinks it's, well. You know." He looked down, and Maxine stared out the glass walls watching for her parents. Officer Dawson nodded and leaned back, closing her notebook and tucking it back into her jacket with the pen.
"Maxine, we've been looking for you for four years. Do you understand? You've been missing, for four years."

Blackwood Academy
Sixteen-year-old Evelyn doesn't belong here. Sent away to Blackwood Academy, a school designed to "fix" troubled minds, she's forced to take pills, follow strict rules, and remain under constant supervision. But she doesn't need fixing-at least, not in the way they think. The people here aren't trying to help her. They're trying to control her. The moment she swallows her first pill and follows the eerie blue line to her dorm, reality distorts. Hallways shift. Shadows whisper. Her mind is slipping, but she refuses to give in. The next morning, when a new nurse tries to force another dose down her throat, she does the only thing that feels right-she makes him swallow the pills instead. And when he stops breathing, she realizes something terrifying... Killing feels right. Now, one body isn't enough. As the academy tightens its grip, so does her hunger for revenge. If they wanted her to be a monster, they just gave her the perfect excuse to become one. But is she truly insane? Or is there something much darker lurking beneath the surface of Blackwood Academy? The blue line leads to safety. But for Evelyn, it leads to blood.Complete

Before It Struck Midnight. *COMPLETE*
Before I begin, I just want to say that this story does include some mature themes. I will also give out a warning a chapter prior to these scenes. Getting that out of the way, let's go onto the story description... *This book contains explicit content* *EXTRACT FROM THE BOOK* I stared at him, cooking and whistling, something that I could not do, or should I say, wasn't bothered to do. I decided to move away and to try and find an exit but I didn't even take one step back when I heard his voice. "Princess? Is that you?" I saw him raise his head before shooting his eyes onto me. The sudden gaze caused to heart to race while it froze my body as if I have turned into ice. I felt the fear engulf my body, eating me inside out. "You aren't scared of me... Are you?" he asked me, I sensed the envy in his voice. That mixed with his harsh tone caused a wave of goosebumps to course through my body. I wanted to begin by asking him where was I? Why was I here? Why was he here... I wanted to ask him, but I couldn't, the fear was just all too much for me. "Come on... Speak to me... Ask me..." he began. "Ask me 'why am I here' and all of that crap... Entertain me with your fear." I saw him slowly gripping a knife that was on the countertop, with his eyes still on mine. The sides of his mouth slowly began tilting upwards. All the bitterness and the cold, it was all so visible in his eyes. I looked at him in horror, noticing him as he took his first steps towards me. "Talk to me... Because this might be the only time you will ever be able to talk, " he said this sentence in such a calm tone, it caused me once again to shiver with goosebumps. "W-what do you mean...". Never in my life have I stuttered, until then.Complete

But to my surprise, the car swerves to the side slightly next to me and comes to a stop. I take a deep breath I didn't know I was holding at the driver's side door swings open and a very pissed off Axel steps out. "Thank god," I mumble and place my hands on my knees to catch my breath. "Blaze?" He says and I hate it. I hate how he says my name as if it's his. Like he knows it's the only thing I want to hear, him calling out to me, looking at me, focused to me. It's the first time in my life I wanted someone's attention so badly I didn't care how I got it. And that was too dangerous for me to hold onto. "Are you insane or some shit? I could have killed you!" He says and starts to walk towards me. I take a big breath and step back away from him, "s-stop! Axel," I stutter still panting. It's then he notices the blood on my hands and shirt. "Is that blood?" He asks staring at my shirt and I take another step back. "Stop, stay b-back," I try to say confidently but I can't even breath right. Realizing he won't listen I start to turn around planning to make a break for it. "Don't run from me Blaze it won't go well," he growls reading my thoughts causing me to freeze in my spot. "Do not ever think you can get away from me."Complete
