Summary:

Phoebe had always been special. She could feel people’s emotions, had electrifying blue eyes, and could force people into feeling intense emotions like pain, fear, anger, or happiness. In the human world, she had thought of herself a freak. Until her mother takes her into Zelbrem, the temporary dimension of the Zemblers.
Phoebe was a hybrid. Half human, half Zembler. And just when she thought things couldn’t get any weirder, she get’s chosen to be Keeper, the one that will lead the Zemblers to war against their long time enemies the Kranalins. Phoebe goes through tough training and is forced into marrying Ben the Warrior, who hates her because of her status as hybrid, and the fact that she stands out from the rest of them.
Can Phoebe overcome all challenges and do what’s right for her people and herself?

"You love someone, you open yourself up to suffering, that's the sad truth. Maybe they'll break your heart, maybe you'll break their heart and never be able to look at yourself in the same way. Those are the risks. The thought of losing so much control over personal happiness is unbearable. That's the burden. Like wings, they have weight, we feel that weight on our backs, but they are a burden that lifts us. Burdens which allow us to fly..."
-Dr. Jack Hodgins (Bones)

I love this story, although you really left me wanting a sequel.

One question:

Did Phoebe's mom ever tell her dad about what they were?

I just thought that might be an explanation why Phoebe's dad was so abusive.

I'm in love with the first chapter. It's always hard to start off right but you knew exactly what to do. Amazing job. :)

This is very good! great read! It sounds a lot like a short story I'm working on right now. it intrigued me when I read the summary about phoebe, the one thing I found strange was the use of "Momma" so many times you might have been able to use pronouns for some of those. but overall very good job!
