A future set in stone.
For eighteen year old Krissa Channing a government ruled pairing with Braiden Connor and a move to Headquarters were her set fate. Until Braiden's sudden disappearance threatens Krissa’s entire future.
After months of endless worry, Krissa has an unexpected meeting with Duke, a perfect suitor that could offer her the future she’s always dreamed of. Just when she begins to regain hope, Braiden returns.
Now, Krissa must find where her heart truly lies. Torn between two loves, she must decide which of their worlds she belongs in. But is such a decision even possible when the choice rests between freedom and love?
Please state your name?
Krissa.
Do you have a nickname?
Sometimes I’m referred to as Kris.
Please state for everyone your hair and eye color.
Naturally brown, sometimes you’ll see me with blonde highlights. And I have hazel eyes.
Do you have any birthmarks or scars? If so, how did you get them?
I have the octagon marking that every newborn receives. However, do to the horrific accident I experienced before moving to Headquarters, a scar now runs right through the shape, disfiguring my lasered symbol. The doctors tell me they can fix it, but I don’t mind being different I actually think it’d be wrong to correct it as I don’t feel as if I represent our government they way they want me to.
Where were you born? Where have you lived since then? Where do you call home?
I was born is the Textile unit. From there I moved with my boyfriend, Duke, to Headquarters. I currently reside alone in the Sweeper unit in an undisclosed location known as the Dwelling.
What is your biggest fear?
Losing more loved ones. And that I’ll fail. So many are depending on me and as much as I want to help I have my doubts if I can.
Have you ever been in love? Had a broken heart?
I have been in love, and with two people at once. I know that sounds selfish, but it’s the truth. I had two men that I loved intimately, yet differently. They both filled voids the other could not. At times I feel like two different people because they both bring something different out of me and as much as I would have liked to have loved and lived completely with just one of them I would have missed the other. But, there came a time where I needed to make a conscience decision and choose a better life for myself but that didn’t diminish the love for the other any. As for heartbreak, I have experienced a hurt so deep that I know I will never fully recover from it. It wasn’t just a broken heart, it was completely shattered. It is beyond repair.
What is your idea of perfect happiness?
Living freely. And I want to love and be loved in return.
What is your current state of mind?
Mayhem. I have a lot swirling around in this brain of mine and I think I live in a constant state of worry.
What is your most treasured possession?
The watch I took from Braiden.
What or who is the greatest love of your life?
This is really difficult for me to answer because it’s not simplistic. Duke was my greatest love because his love was pure and uncomplicated. He loved every bit of me, unconditionally. The respect he had for me spoke volumes and he truly made me a better person. It’s a love I knew would never fade. The biggest love of my life is Braiden because he changed me on so many levels. We had an unspoken bond. We connected in ways no one would understand; we went through too many complications for anyone to truly get our relationship. I have a deep, undying love for Braiden but his love would never carry me through life.
What is your favorite journey?
Looking back, I don’t have a favorite journey because it’s all been a tangled web of lies. Part of me wishes I never knew any truths and could continue living the perfect life, but knowing what I know I can’t ignore the pain, loss and suffering of those around me. I am hoping to be on a better journey in the future, but I have a very long road ahead of me. I fear what is to come and I can’t say that I am prepared for what will take place but I know this is the road that I am destined to travel.
When and where were you the happiest?
When all I knew were lies. Knowing the truth is really hard. It really is a bitter pill to swallow. I was happier back in day; before I met Braiden, before I had to choose between the two loves of my life, before I knew the horrors that our government created. Knowledge is power but it is also heartbreaking and gut-wrenching.
What is your greatest fear?
Failure.
What is your greatest regret?
I have many but I try not to dwell on them because I know it’ll get me nowhere. I do regret not sticking up for myself, no seeing truths, not appreciating precious time that runs out too quickly. A quote I read in a book I found in the alcove stated “In the end, we only regret the chances we didn’t take, the relationships we were afraid to have and the decisions we waited too long to take.” Now I need to ask myself, am I willing to risk it all?
How would you like to die?
I’m working on staying alive. But if I had to choose, memorably.
What is your motto?
Even when divided, you must conquer.
