Summary (Full):

Alexandra Sherwood's not your average eighteen-year-old girl. Not even close. And neither is the mysterious Kaleb Breslin, nor any of his family.

So, what happens when the demons of Alex's past come back to make good on their promise?

What happens when Alex and Kaleb find that they're not so different from one another?

What happens when secrets are uncovered, mysteries unlocked, and the ultimate unleashed?

The truth shall be revealed ...

Author's Note:

Alright, everybody.

This is my fourth crack at Half-Breed: Book One. And I'm kinda hoping that it will be my final go-around with the first installment.

As you may remember, I stated in earlier posts that I was taking AP Language and Composition. Well, I've learned quite a few tricks, and I have to say that, from a personal standpoint, my writing has improved.

I've made a lot of changes. None that I think anyone will be terribly angry about. I'll explain the biggest ones in a sec, but don't fret! I won't ruin anything. (Much.)

First off, Alex isn't going to be the damsel in distress anymore. She can take care of herself in, I'll say, 97.8% of any and all situations. As you shall read.

Secondly, Danica won't come in until later in the story. I have my reasons.

Thirdly, you will see the addition of a homosexual relationship. If you've got a problem with it, either don't read my Fic or don't say anything to me about it.

Fourthly, the language has changed. No, it's still in English. The vulgarity level, however, has seen an increase. (I don't drop f-bombs every-other word ...) The coarser language has been added due to chracter dialogue. (Rating is explained below.)

Fifthly, I changed Alex's appearance. I like it better, so ... yeah. If you don't, tough.

And sixthly -- possibly the most obvious -- I changed Alex's name. It was originally, as you recall, "Tara Anderson." Well, I wanted something with a bit more meaning to it, and with the help of Teenyjewel, came across Alexis, which led me to Alexandra. I also changed "Anderson" to "Sherwood."

I think that's it ...

Oh, and I had to delete my other two Half-Breed stories. I saw some new rule while agreeing to the Guidelines about not having more than one Fic on the same topic, and I more or less took that as directed towards me. (But I have them saved on my pc, so if anyone ever wants to read the Original, let me know!)

Rating:

This Fic has been rated Teen (T) by me for the following reasons:

1. Violence

2. Coarse Language

3. Slightly Adult-themed Content

Now, I will warn you now, that those three things can be considered Mature (M) in rating. (Mainly #2.) And, so that there are no surprises, at the opening of any Chapter in which any of those three things will be escalted to a level of M, I will state for you specifically what it is.
