The Resourceful Thief

<p><strong>He needs a queen. I need my freedom.</strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>They say teenagers don't have serious problems. My name is Laura Watson and my life sucks. I promised my parents to keep my little brother safe when I couldn't protect myself. Someone had carved out my soul with a spoon and left a hollow shell of my former self.</p><p> </p><p>People say if you don't like something then change it. Some say Just do it. So I did. I lied cheated and stole. I had to become what I had to to escape the devil. Everything had started to fall apart until I was transported to an alien civilization.</p><p> </p><p>The devil I ran from pales in comparison to the threat I didn't know existed. Leave it to me to get stuck on an alien planet in the middle of an intergalactic battle. He thinks I belong to him but I don't belong to anyone. Sometimes the devil you don't know is safer than the one you did.</p>
