Idea: Alices of Underland

Summary:


        Alice Liddell, in a fever induced dream, created Wonderland. Unlike most dreams, this one did not want to disappear. Starting with poor Alice, the world made itself a reality. From then on, anyone who happened to step inside of Wonderland would be trapped forever. Since dreams need dreamers, whoever happened across Wonderland would instantly become the new 'Alice,' if one was needed. The Alice's job was to keep the world functioning by staying inside of the dream world. They would remain in Wonderland until they died or went insane; since an insane mind was not strong enough to keep the world intact. Those who were replaced instantly lost their face, literally. The rejected Alices would wander around Wonderland as mere husks of themselves. 

         The story will follow two Alices, who had entered Wonderland at the exact same time by mistake. Of course, this had never happened before, so some side affects would be an order. Ex: Constant earthquakes as Wonderland tries to stay intact, locals becoming even more hostile, mysterious forces coming to rid themselves of one of the Alices, etc.

         These two Alices will have to deal with the madness of Wonderland, as well as try to find a way to escape before their real bodies run out of time.

Characters:
         Name: Keira
         Age: 15
         Physical Characteristics: Long blonde hair that has a streak of blue. Stormy blue eyes that are more of a grey shade.  Has a habit of wearing military- inspired clothing such as combat boots, cargo pants and olive green/ black shirts (you can't really blame her, her mother and father are both in the military). Prefers to always have some sort of weapon on her, specifically a Swiss army knife that she keeps on or near her person at all times. 
         Personality: Sarcastic, loud and a bit quick to judge. However, since she is a pretty good judge of character, it hardly becomes an issue. Acts on instinct, and hardly thinks about the consequences. A bit arrogant at times, but has mostly good intentions. Hardworking, despite how much she may complain. Very loyal to whatever unlucky soul is able to become her friend. 


         Name: Maddox

         Age: 16
         Physical Characteristics: Dark onyx hair that is barely long enough to tie back into a small 
ponytail, which he does do occasionally. Dark caramel eyes that look red in certain lighting. Usually wears more loose fitting and plain clothing; such as a baggy old t-shirt with a plain sweatshirt and worn jeans. Always wears his brother's dog tag, since he had died a year before in battle; this item gives him and Keira something to bond over. 
         Personality: A bit quieter than Keira, but not entirely shy. He is one to be reluctant to talk at first, but will share a conversation if something interests him. Maddox would prefer to stay home and mess around on his laptop than to throw a football or play any other sort of sport. He is lazy, but will quickly and efficiently get a job done with enough encouragement. I wouldn't say that he is as loyal as a person as someone like Keira would be, but he definitely puts his friends and family above all else. 

Idea: Heir of the Underworld

Summary: 
          The daughter of Satan has never stepped out of Hell once. When an Angel comes to talk to her father, Seris is suddenly given a chance to go to the Earth. Jumping on the opportunity, the girl suddenly discovers her strange powers, as well as many reasons to why she should never leave home again. Seeking out the Angel, Adonis, for help, Seris is suddenly betrayed. After escaping from near-death, she finds herself to be stuck in the human world, Earth.

          Befriending two humans, Seris manages to find comfort in the land of mortals. But that doesn't last long. A demon group is after her, wanting to destroy the Heiress of Hell in order to take the throne for themselves. Alongside the hunt being lead by Adonis, the girl hardly gets a chance to rest. Problem is, if she heads home then she will instantly be targeted by the Demons. So, living among humans is the only chance she has for survival. 

          The people of the Under and Higher worlds have been at constant war. The Mortal World  is the only ground where the fights are equal on both sides. If an Angel is killed in the Underworld, they will cease to exist. However, if they are killed on Earth, then their souls are instantly transported to Heaven. And vice versa with the Demons. The creatures are immortal in their homelands, but can be seriously injured. 

          Humans are reincarnated when they die until they reach total perfection, where they are sent to Heaven; or have sinned so much in their lifetimes that they are sent to Hell.

Idea: Reading Nothing

Summary: 
                                   (Note: This story takes place in the late 1800s) 
          We've all tried wishing on a star. Or on dandelions and birthday candles. Fact is, it close to never works. But, when it finally does, everything may not come out the way you imagine it.

          Aida Evens, like many naive kids, wish for superpowers. She doesn't specify the abilities just that she desires to have them. The wish doesn't come true until much later. Or at least, it isn't strong enough to be noticed for a while. Reaching her 12th birthday, Aida realizes that she has the unusual powers. The girl is able to move small objects without touching them, as well as read what others are thinking.

           The telepathy began a bit weak at first. Aida was only able to read a person's thoughts through physical contact, with the addition of hard concentration. But, as time passed, she was able to share thoughts with almost everyone without much effort. However, this power easily got out of hand, and she could not control the ability. The girl succumbed to the negative thoughts of her peers towards her, and fell into depression.

          It wasn't the sudden drop in her mood that caused her to be sent to the psychiatric ward, it was her telekinesis. As the telepathy had grown rapidly stronger, as had the other power. The secondary ability reacted with her emotions, and often caused supernatural harm to those who thought ill of her. Ex: classroom doors closing on the hands of bullies. Bikes running into walls. Or, in the most extreme case, a pair of scissors flying towards one of her tormentor's head. (She never actually killed anyone, or inflicted any sort of major injury.)

          That last act was what sent the girl into an insane asylum. Seeing as the institute was just getting to its peak of overcapacity, the patients were beginning to be treated horribly. Shock treatments were a normal thing. Lobotomies were being done to every other person. Luckily, Aida managed to get her hands on her own room, but only because it’s previous occupant had been recently killed.

          Aida somehow lives through the experience, sliding under the doctors' radar for a good stretch of time. One of the doctors believes her claim that she can read minds, and silently uses her for experiments. It isn't until he attempts to physically experiment on her brain, does Aida try to escape. Using her powers, the girl kills the doctor and his assistants with the objects that they try to use on her. She escapes, and hides out in the outside world.

           Using her superpowers, the girl ends up going more evil than good. Aida tries to avoid being evicted again, at all costs. Her morals have become a bit twisted from being around tortured psychopaths and maniacal doctors. At this point, there is probably no going back.

           But, because I have to add an upside to this somewhat depressing story, there is some good in her that can be retrieved. Tanner Richmond a quiet and stubborn boy, discovers the girl after she had just escaped a pair of police officers that had been hunting her down. Unlike the rest of the world, he doesn't immediately think ill of her. He follows Aida around. And, even if it sounds a bit creepy, becomes quite attached to her without really talking to her.  Tanner eventually wants to help her. The girl knows this, but refuses to believe it, thinking that everyone in the world is evil.

          Aida forgot that all she had to do was open her eyes in order to see the sun.

Characters:
           Name: Aida Evans
           Age: 12/13
           Physical Characteristics: Long brown hair that gets cut short whilst inside of the asylum. Grey eyes. Skinny in an unhealthy way, again because of the nuthouse. Small for her age, and very pale. Gains a scar on her temple from when the doctor tried to drill into her brain. Wears a faded blue dress that earns numerous tears and stains.
           Personality: Quiet and doesn't trust anyone around her. Aida tends to look to the dark side of things, considering the fact that almost everyone who meets her instantly thinks that she is a freak. Their negative thoughts affect her more than the positive ones.

           Name: 
Tanner Richmond
           Age: 14
           Physical Characteristics: Long black hair that kind of hangs over his eyes when not brushed back, which it rarely was. Brown eyes. Lean and strong for his age. Wears suspenders and a graying cotton shirt. He also wears a cap and doesn't own a pair of shoes. Missing a majority of his pinkie from an accident using a machine in one of the factories.
           Personality: Quiet and a bit stubborn at times. Despite the poor living conditions he currently has, the boy is optimistic about almost everything. Even though he doesn't have much to share, Tanner does his best to make Aida feel welcome in the outside world.
