Hello everyone. I'm new to the site but I decided to go ahead and post my story. I have a majority of the story written already so I should be able to post about once a week. Thanks for reading...I hope you enjoy.

Blurb: This is a modern Pride and Prejudice action/adventure story although it will take a couple chapters to get to the action part. The basic plot involves, of course, Elizabeth and Darcy. They meet shortly after Charles and Jane become engaged. Darcy comes to visit for Christmas and the couple fights and completely misunderstands each other. However, when Elizabeth travels to Boston for her sister's wedding she realizes that there's more to Darcy than meets the eye.

Between Hope and Fear

Prologue

The world had gone to hell and it seemed as though Elizabeth Bennet had been caught right in the middle of it. The loud whirling of the helicopter followed by the deafening gunshot bangs seemed to be consuming her senses. Dark clouds of dust prevented her from seeing the ground ahead.

The ferocity of the burning in her chest combined with her sore legs and bruised ribs made her just want to give up--she was just so tired. It seemed as though she had spent the last week of her life running from one thing or another. However, in the midst of all the danger and chaos Elizabeth knew she had to keep running--somehow if she ran hard and fast enough she would be safe. Suddenly she felt a small tug on her hand urging her forward and she almost smiled as she remembered that he was with her and because of that everything else would be okay.

She looked down at their joined hands and knew that she had to keep going, that she couldn't give up now--not when they were so close to their freedom. Anger rushed through her as she remembered the last week of her life and that anger set her determination. Within seconds she was pushing again, she was simply too stubborn to allow them to win. If it was a fight they wanted then she would be ready.

They had been pushed too much; it was time to fight back.
