A group of teens find themselves caught in time with only each other. Each one has their own scars and secrets. Each one has a flair that they must use to escape the time prison.

With the seconds ticking down, will they be able to find the reason behind everyone's disappearance, or will they all be lost in time forever?

She was just eight years old when her entire world came crashing down. The night her own mother showed her true colors, revealed her true hand. The night that Verona was almost taken from her home, from her father, and would have met her momma and sister. That was five years ago, and while good has come, she can never allow herself to forget the darkness. Never let it go, never forgive, never forget, not allow one scar to heal on her body, now allow one person to go unpunished. Katherine Blackthorn took everything from her, and the only payment that could fix that mistake. Is one made of blood. After so long, Verona was starting to think that maybe she would never have the chance to get this debt repaid. Katherine hasn’t shown her face in nearly five years.

“She is dead, she is dead now, and forevermore” That was what a small 13-year-old told herself for so long. A way to soothe her mind just a bit. To deal with the past, create a headcanon that is fact.

However, one day that canon was destroyed.

After learning that Katherine Bloodthorn is still alive, and seems to be working in the criminal network of New York City. Verona hatches a plan to leave her home on Tarun’s Island. An island home to nearly 750,000 people that can tap into a special type of energy known as jepei. She joins her father Jonan Whisperwind, and his partner Joshua, in bringing in Katherine either alive or dead, as well as taking down the kingpin Hezekiah Wallace, who is more than meets the eye. She goes undercover to gain the trust of his daughter, a young girl who is being trained much how her mo- How Katherine used to train her.

This was the moment that Verona had been waiting for her entire life.

A chance to give her mother the ultimate punishment for her sins, repay it with death… yet talking about it was the easy part. Actually going through with it is the hard part.

I hate her.

I want to kill her.

I will destroy her.

I miss her….

I’m still scared of her.

In a vision by an Oracle five gather. But when they do gather it's not by choice it's due to a kidnapper. But the five trapped together are very different and could never get along. Right?

Cathrine ¨kya¨ clark gets herself into a sticky situation that her name got brought into. can she get out of jail? Can she get her name clean? Can she tell the truth.

"Fuck that.." she paused to think,"I'm running away."

"Where though?"

"Dunno.. Wanna come?"

"Yes." he said, without thinking.

How to date a vampire?

I'll tell you!

You'll need to give him hugs, daily, and also... other things.

Oh, and blood. He needs blood.

How do I know?

My boyfriend's a vampire! Or at least I think.

He's very dark and brooding, but... I notice he loves sweet things. Why doesn't everyone else know that?

His blood is his coffee, he loves dumping sugar in it.

It's odd, but I don't judge! I can just get him chocolate.

So how to date a vampire?

Good question, I'm still learning.

“Damn, man, you need to settle yourself down.” The boy on my right frowns at me and shakes his head. “You shakin’ like a fuckin’ chihuahua over here and it’s stressin’ me out.” His long black hair is tucked behind his ears and tied back by an intricate yellow bandana. High cheekbones and dark skin reveal a native heritage--probably Navajo. He looks to be about as tall as I am and cuts an imposing figure amongst the other kids in the circle.

“Language, Jordan.” It seems like Rodriguez might be losing his grip on the group already. “Let’s get back on topic.”

“Depression.” The dark-skinned girl, Alexis, has a notepad of her own and seems to be taking a very detailed account of the session. “Elliot Bishop was just talking about his depression.”

“Please, we all have fuckin’ depression.” Jordan rolls his eyes and suddenly my throat tightens up and a stinging sensation inside threatens to well up in my eyes.

“Jesus Christ, give him a fucking break, Jordan! Remember your first day? Sorry, Jesus” Dark-haired girl waves up at the bloody portrait on the wall with an apologetic expression, before rounding on Jordan, who has his arms crossed into his leather vest, one clubby boot parked on the opposite knee as if daring me to challenge him. She suddenly gets to her feet and claps loudly to get everyone's attention, much to Rodriguez’s visible displeasure. “Everyone needs to chill out a little, okay? The first time in Group is hard enough without you guys getting all up in his shit. Sorry, Julian--language, I know.” She looks at each one of those gathered around the circle before her eyes land on me. “Well, at least you get an honest introduction to this madhouse.”
