Chapter 1

What do you say when you're at the end? Do you apologize for things you wish were different? Do you smile knowing it’s finally over? I don't know what you would do, but I was calm inside and out. Surprising, once you get to know me. When you find out what really goes on in my head, regardless of what I show the rest of the world. I guess I should start at the beginning right? My life changed on a Wednesday. Funny how you remember the day when your whole life becomes something you never thought was possible.

“I’m still finding it really hard to believe that it actually worked.” Kacy Prescott answered honestly. Having watched his mom’s car pull out of the driveway where she’d just dropped him off at his best friend’s house for the weekend.

“You should’ve had a little more faith in me. Your mom is going to busy with her new job to check up on us and besides by this time tomorrow we’ll be in Las Vegas.” Matt replied confidently smiled back at his friend, toying with what appeared to Kacy to be an oversized metal brief case.

Slurping back the tea Rall stared at the sword. “We need to talk I think.”

Synopsis: There is an old saying that says life is what you make it. These days, I firmly believe it to be true. I used to believe that God hated me. I was born into a world that wouldn’t accept me and I spent years praying to God to make me normal like other kids. My prayers remained unanswered, and I tried to end my suffering and take my own life. I guess that God finally took pity on me and decided to finally answer my prayers. They also say that he works in mysterious ways, and I’m living proof of that.

He turned my whole life completely upside down. He took me out of a uncaring home and placed me with a real family, one that loves and supports me, He gave me friends that would stand by me, no matter what. Of all the gifts that he gave me, the greatest gift of all was to make me a normal teenage girl.

This chapter is a little short, but I'm setting up for something bigger down the road. Enjoy!

Thanks to Marvel Comics for all of their wonderful characters. Psylocke, Juggernaut, Courier, Nitro are all their characters.

Sweet Dreams-11...Am I in a daydream?

Chapter 11

Adam was being as much a douchebag as I though he was going to be. But I’ll get back to that later. The rest of the day had gone pretty well with me getting out of school and headed over to my job where Hali and I talked and stopped and had a proper cuppa.

Anyway work was actually cool and I actually learned a lot of stuff about fashion but not just the better points of how to put together a look but of what is exactly classic and vintage and the differences of both and how to put things together in a look or an outfit.
