《Adopted by McQueen (humanized) Book One》Chapter 5
Advertisement
The next morning, they got in the truck and continued on their journey. Chloe was sleeping in McQueen's arms lap while Mack was driving.
Mack looked over at her, "Kiddo looks pretty tired."
"She is." McQueen replied rubbing her head, "I don't think that foster care treated her well."
"What makes you say that?" Mack questioned.
"She had a nightmare last night." He answered.
"Everyone gets nightmares, McQueen." Mack chuckled.
"But these are different." He explained, "It looks like that they've been haunting her."
"How do you know?" Mack asked.
"I woke up to her screaming my name." He stopped to move her hair so he could see her peaceful face, "She looked so. . .frightened. It took my 10 minutes to wake her up. It was like she was locked inside her mind."
"I'd keep a close eye on her." Mack said.
"I am." Lightning replied rubbing her head, "I love her."
"I know you do McQueen; that's why you adopted her." Mack answered.
"But the weirdest thing happened when I told Mrs Nelson I wanted to adopt her."
"What do you mean?" Mack asked.
"She tried to make me change my mind." He answered, "Like she tried to tell me that Chloe wasn't worth it."
"That's odd." Mack replied, "She's such a sweet kid."
"That's what I'm confused about." McQueen replied.
Mack parked the truck at the gas station.
"Alright I'm gonna fill up the gas tank and get a few things." He said and got out.
Chloe started crying, "No. . .stop please!"
Lightning realized her nightmare was back. He held her close.
"Stop it hurts!" She cried, "I didn't do anything!"
Her shook her, "Chloe! Wake up!"

She started to squirm and breathe faster. His heart was beating faster with fear.
"Chloe! It's okay!"
He picked her up and hugged her tightly, "You're okay. . .no one will hurt you."
Chloe calmed down and hugged him tightly. McQueen sighed in relief. She sat up and looked at him with tears flooding her face. His heart fell to his stomach.
"Chloe are you alright?" He asked.
She just clanged onto him tightly; not wanting to ever let go.
"You had me so worried." He said hugging her.
"I'm sorry Daddy." She spoke, "I had another nightmare."
"I'm just relieved that you're not hurt." He replied, "How about we stop out and get some fresh air?"
"Okay." She said shakily.
But little did they know something was bond to happen. . . .

The Helena Chronicles
Espers are really no different than humans; they look like any normal human and in general behave like any normal human. However, there are a few key differences. The max life expectancy of espers ranges from forty-five to fifty. They naturally have a knack for mathematics and are extremely intelligent in general, this is because their abilities rely on the subconscious and conscious calculations. They also have a mysterious energy source they call Focus that is generated naturally by all espers. The continent of Elestveeve is populated by three major factions, each a governing force. On the west of the continent, there is the Noble Houses that subscribe to the Deity Faith. The Houses ruling with the Deity Faith as council since the religion's founding four-hundred years previous. Controlling most of the northeast is WITCH, an organization ruled by powerful espers; claiming the mysterious Genesis as their capital, they are a whispered myth among much of the continent's less technically advanced residents. In the southeast you have Tech City, a towering monolith of a capital with four sky layers and metropolis' leveled deep underground; it is a city brimming with technical advancement and cyber integration. Each faction contends with one another for their evolutionary ideology, by devout religious worship to receive miraculous gifts, unique genetic lineage to obtain ESP, and technological integration to become something more than human. Helena, a young genius and esper, awakes in a dark room with only fuzzy memories and the company of seven other children. She must determine how she got there and how to get back to where she came from. Warning: Due to time constraints, I don't have the time to keep up on my three stories; therefore, Helena will need to go in a stasis chamber until I can find more time to write between work and life. I love my first girl so much! however, it seems she is the least popular among the fans (the poor girl T_T). This world is much bigger than my other two novels and I'm not giving up on it, but simply having to put her on ice.

Endsworld
This entire story is basically just me, having seen a piece of art on Tumblr, rereading Gerard Way's The True Lives Of The Fabulous Killjoys and getting an idea that may or may not be a good thing?Set in a futuristic world similar to the one in Killjoys, but a bit less cynical. (If that makes sense)Please note that I've done absolutely no planning for this, have no idea when it will update or where I'm going, and the only ships in it are the ones that are confirmed to be canon. This means only Paultryck and Kim&Katya, whose ship name I don't know, and from what I've heard, Eduardo&Laurel is also canon(?), though I'm not sure if the neighbors will actually be in this much. Again, haven't planned anything!All I can say for sure is I won't kill any of the main cast, and this will revolve around the original four, namely Edd, Tom, Matt and Tord, with pre-The End designs (read as, "I like edgy Tord with darker hair"). Essentially it's their designs from Spares.Rated PG-13 to possibly M depending on where you live for gore/death and swearing-I'm not really one for gruesome details though so I try to keep the gory stuff a bit vague. You can always ask me about how bad it is before reading if you're worried it'll upset you, my inbox is always open.
