Sequel to, "The Shadows On the Hill." Nine years after Nick left, Clementine is different. What will she do when Wellington gets raided by bandits and she is left by herself, badly wounded and nearly dead? She's found by another group of people, and as she spends time with them she changes. Not in the good way either, but when a familiar face shows up, can they help her?

Johnny Cade wants more than humid summers and purple bruises. Dallas Winston only wants liquor, sex, and violence. Elizabeth Carter wants serenity back in her hurricane life. But East-side Tulsa only takes, so they better prepare for the fight of their lives. Dallas/OC

Nick Walker: 24 year old English teacher, new to the whole "teaching thing" Maximum Ride: 17 year old senior with an over-protective twin brother and no intention on learning. They fell for one another before year began. And they take the student/teacher relationship to an entirely different level. CURRENTLY EDITING
