Illinois Stories

[COMPLETED] Katherine always had shoes to fill. As the eldest child at the ripe old age of seventeen, she was expected to marry young, marry well, and be a respectable housewife in 1862. However, to her little sister's chagrin, she's much more interested in a good book than a man. That is until she meets Sam. Dark, brooding, and distant, he's a book character in himself. A legend everyone warns her to stay away from. The only catch: how can she know to stay away from him if no one has seen him in years? When no one knows what he looks like now? When the two meet for the first time, she doesn't know who he is until she's already fascinated by him. Could he be different from what everyone says? But even her friend James, "Red", warns her against Sam. Red, who she's grown up with by her side their entire lives. Red, who she tells everything. Red, her best friend. Red who may have deeper feelings for her than she realizes. But when Katherine sets her heart on something, she will go to all lengths to get what she wants. *** started on July 3, 2018 finished on July 15, 2018 cover photo ©DeviantArt

They came to California to escape their lives. They never expected to run for them. Brooke Gonzales doesn't talk about her father leaving. She doesn't talk about her mother working double shifts. She doesn't talk at all - not really. She swims. The water is the only place her brain goes quiet. Sophia Lewandowski is the state champion everyone expects to succeed. Her Polish-American family has her future mapped out: pre-med, then medical school, then a respectable career. But Sophia has a secret. She doesn't want to save lives. She wants to live them. They meet at a California swim camp. They become friends over midnight dips and card games. They start to think that maybe - just maybe - they've found someone who understands. Then the ground opens. The tripods rise from the earth. Not from the sky. From beneath. Buried for centuries. And they are hungry. Now two girls who were just trying to survive high school must survive something much worse. Los Angeles burns behind them. The 405 is a graveyard. The ocean is red. And the only thing standing between them and death is a friendship forged in the deep end.
