Chapter 1- College
At Los Angeles Creek College, Los Angeles, CA, 5 students (Peter: the outcast stoner, Brandon: An optimistic nerd that is dating one of the most beautiful girls on campus, Elizabeth (Lizzy): a careless girl with not much of brains, Ashley: a natural born leader that sets her goals first, John: the jock, hard headed and always wants his way.) take on an assignment that they will never forget.
“Many heard stories of ghosts and demons but what about anyone seeing the Reaper?” says Peter. “That won’t ever work with this project, I have a lot going on for this credit.” Ashley says with a tone. “He does have a point, we are all stuck in this together. I remember seeing an article online that said something about a mysterious house in Texas, were some kids went there and just disappeared along with the house and numerous reports of something they’ve never seen before.” John interrupts.
Ashley argues with John, “So you’re telling me that the supposed Reaper was there?” Lizzy walks into the house and heard a little of it and starts laughing hysterically at what she just heard. “You know that’s just a bunch of bullshit, why don’t we choose something more realistic that we can all use?”
Everyone agreed but Peter and John.
“I say the vote is 2 on 2, why don’t we see Brandon and see what he thinks.” Says John.
Now Brandon doesn’t care about the project, his family is rich, he can live off computers but was forced to go to college by his parents. A ring goes off at Brandon’s doorbell. John and Peter are there along with Lizzy and Ashley. “Hey Bro, answer your door!” Peter yells, Brandon’s father answered the door. “What do you want?!?” he says rudely. “Umm we came to see Brandon, is he home?” “Let me go check…”
“Brandon! Your friends are here.” Says the father
“I’m coming dad!” Brandon yelling from the basement. He rushes upstairs and goes to the door.
“What’s up you guys?”
Peter answers, “We got a question for you, may we come in man?”
“Sure but that doesn’t explain why you guys are here.”
John replies, “We have a project due by the end of the summer, we need your opinion on where we should go and do our report on. Peter came up with this idea of doing something on the reaper, what do you think of that? All the girls are out cause they think it’s a dumb idea but this could give us the A we need.”
“I don’t even know where to begin the research though, how about we gather our facts from online, if it seems legit, we should really do it.” Brandon replies.
“ Then that’s settled. Lizzy, Ashley? How about we do some research on this and change our thoughts about this report?”
“Okay…” Lizzy grunts. “ Why do men always make the choices?”
Ashley replied, “ Cause men don’t have brains…”

My Gift To You by Faye Hall
Rush Mullens saw her parents, Joseph and Carmen, being murdered before her eyes as an 8 year old child– ten cloaked figures destroying her once peaceful life. She did not know the men responsible, but she would find them. She wanted revenge…she needed it.
When Lord Justin Maston came to take her in to his care, she vowed she would use this opportunity to find the murderer’s she chased. She did not think she would also find a boy she could love more than her own life.
Bailey Maston had never supposed to mean any more to her than a friend, one who could protect her from the new lifestyle she had been forced into. What he had become though was a young man who could take her breath away, and steal her heart.
Rush knew Bailey knew nothing of her family, or the life she was raised to live. She doubted should he learn the truth that he would understand. She could not let him endanger the revenge she so craved to seek. Nor could she ignore that she was willing to risk all – her past, her life, her reputation – just to sample an ounce of passion from this man.
Bailey Maston wanted to find a woman – the perfect woman – to give his heart to. He wanted to trust that such a person could exist that would never betray him. Everything he had seen in his young life, both at home and in society, told him what a foolish dream this was. Such a woman could never exist. Even if she did, he doubted she would ever willingly give her heart to a love-starved boy like him.
Foolish though his dream was, Bailey could not help being drawn to the young orphaned girl his parents had taken in.
He wanted her friendship and the attention she so willingly offered to him.
He craved to feel the passion he knew was hidden deep inside her.
What he did not want was to fall in love with her.
When Bailey finally discovers the truth of Rush’s life, and the revenge she was enacting, he feels betrayed. Foolish though it was, he hopes that beyond this betrayal may yet lay the woman he has always yearned to find…a woman he craved to give his well-guarded heart to.
