'He had been an inferno these past six months, burning so hot and for so long he feared there was nothing left but ashes.'This is a story of violence and destruction, of friendship and healing.-There is drug use, themes of self-harm and some consent issues (NOTHING graphic). But please don't read if these issues may upset you.NOTE: This story is populated with characters from "The Raven Cycle" series by Maggie Stiefvater. You do NOT need to have read those books in order to read/enjoy my story. (However, you should read TRC anyway because it's an AMAZING series.) I do NOT own these characters or the setting. I'm merely borrowing them for a short while to tell this angsty little tale.…

As she draws closer to the truth, however, she struggles to recognize friend from foe and resist the darkness that lies dormant in all of us.-This is a FIRST DRAFT.

But that's the beauty of contests! There are themes of suicide in this story. There is nothing graphic, but please let me know if you think this story warrants a "mature" rating and I will change it.…
