This is my already-finished-my-first-draft-of-the-first-book series. Of course, I'm merging the first and second together so it's no longer finished, but that's not the point. I'll just post them as seperate novels for now because it'll make summarizing easier. (actually, I already changed it so that they're the same book, but it will still be easier this way)
Below
Mutants are all taken below the ground to a slave camp. Kristen, a fifteen year old girl, is among the millions slaving beneath the surface. She, however, is different from everyone else, and plans to escape with three other friends: Lea (nine years old), Ben (sixteen), and Nick (thirteen).
Escaping does solve their problems, but creates probably just as many. Mr. J, another mutant who wants to build an army, breaks in at the same time they're breaking out. He demands to have Lea in his army, but when she refuses he decides it'd be easier to just kill them.
And he comes close. Raevin, someone who worked alongside Mr. J since she was five, has a change of heart and saves them. Being only 14, she has no way to lead them anywhere, so Kristen decides to take charge.
Now, they have an evil madman who can't die and can kill people with a single touch after them. That, along with the fact that he always seems a step ahead of them, really makes life a bit hard for them.
Meanwhile, Kristen's cousin Nicole has escaped the prison, for a price. A voice in her head with unimaginable power is leading her, and she doesn't know whether she can trust it.
Under Golden Wings
It's been three months since they last fought Mr. J, and it seems as though they've finally lost him. Really, what they don't know is that his helper, Trinity, jacked everything from him and split. Now he's too busy trying to catch up to Trinity to bother them.
So, since they don't know this, they believe that Mr. J is after them when they find him in Auburn. Kristen has a bit more to worry about that Mr. J though. Her new power, the ability to turn into an angel, cannot be proven to be real. It causes a great deal many fights between her and Raevin. One of those fights just makes Raevin snap, and she leaves.
While gone, Mr. J runs into Raevin and they make a trade. Raevin will get all the answers about her past and money if she helps him by tracking down Trinity. Of course, she needs the help of the others, so returns to them without telling them her plan.
Meanwhile, Kristen has found herself in the middle of a war between the angels and demons. Being an angel, she is immediately recruited and trained for battle.
Also meanwhile, Nicole has escaped the voice with a curse: every hour she must spend a couple minutes away from humans or she will have the sudden and very irresistable urge to slaughter them. She did, however, run into a group of mutants.
When their 'club house' is infiltrated by armed soldiers from the prison she escaped from, it is almost impossible for them to escape. She does, thankfully, with two other friends. When they return later, they find everyone on the ground, obviously killed mercilessly. From that moment on, they make a vow to hunt down every soldier
The final book (though there will be a book between Trapped and this one) is:
Fighting Fate
Each character has a different fate. Mr. J must eventually die from what some ancient monks told him, Kristen must eventually join the ranks of the angels permanently, Nicole will end up slaughtering humans because of the curse from the devil, Raevin will give out early because of her past, and everyone else, well, they're just going to be failures from what everyone tells them.
But nobody is going to let that just happen. They all decide to join together to stop this 'fate' that is tying them to the ground and just fly free, but how are they supposed to fight an inanimate object? How are they supposed to fight an idea made up long ago? Nobody knows, but they're about to find out.
Yeah, Fighting Fate is not quite in the works yet. I highly doubt that I'll even be working on it in 2012. I'll probably start it in early-mid 2013. Remember, I still have to finish the first, work on the second, and there's NaNo next year. Sure, Camp NaNoWriMo will help it out a lot, but that doesn't mean squat when it comes to the word count I want for each book. 150K words for the first, roughly 600 novel pages. The second one? I want probably another hundred pages, so that's 175K. Then, the third book will either be a bit longer or a bit shorter. I don't know yet. :/
