Summary:

"And they all lived happily ever after…" This phrase is known to many fairytales as the perfect ending. ..not this one. Welcome to a world where happily ever after is non-existent and eye for an eye is their only belief. Species at war, werewolves and demons terrorize, drugs and alcohol inches within reach, and magical powers at your fingertips.


Naomi Elizabeth Shadows lives a hard knock life. After going through her mother's death she's forced to care for her younger half-sister, Sienna, whom has been having nerve-wracking dreams about her mother since she died. Naomi also has started to get abused by her alcoholic stepfather. Moments at home escalate from damaging to terrifying. Thinking that running away into the forest, set in her backyard, will save her from all the pain; she is thoroughly mistaken. For the pain is only beginning as she is taken under the wing of an unlikely friend who knows many things Naomi couldn't even imagine.

Favorite Quote:
&quot;One word. All you&#039;ve been saying is quite right, I shouldn&#039;t wonder. I&#039;m a chap who always liked to know the worst and then put the best face I can on it. So I won&#039;t deny any of what you said. But there&#039;s one thing more to be said, even so. Suppose we have only dreamed, or made up, all those things - trees and grass and sun and moon and stars and Aslan himself. Suppose we have. Then all I can say is that, in that case, the made-up things seem a good deal more important than the real ones. Suppose this black pit of a kingdom of yours is the only world. Well, it strikes me as a pretty poor one. And that&#039;s a funny thing, when you come to think of it. We&#039;re just babies making up a game, if you&#039;re right. But four babies playing a game can make a play-world which licks your real world hollow. That&#039;s why I&#039;m going to stand by the play world. I&#039;m on Aslan&#039;s side even if there isn&#039;t any Aslan to lead it. I&#039;m going to live as like a Narnian as I can even if there isn&#039;t any Narnia.&quot; <br /> <br /> in The Silver Chair, by C. S. Lewis

haha, I'll agree with that. I'll need to make it a little more subtle in editing maybe. I'm working on chapter 11 as we speak. Hoping to have it up in a week or two

I love this story! Plus your descriptions are great (although Jesse seems really pathetic. There's proof of elle's evilness right under his werewolf snout, but he keeps ignoring it)

Thanks! I'm working at getting the 6 & 7 chapters written up. I apologize for the disoganization of chapter one, I'm trying to fix it and it keeps failing everytime I repost.  v.v
