About this ebook
Chronos doesn't want to be a villain.
She also doesn't want a houseguest. Unfortunately for her, Kendra is insisting on both, and the former magical girl will not listen to reason.
In desperation, Chronos goes to the one person she trusts least for help:
Her sister, Rhea.
Rhea, who is a fashion designer for villains. Rhea, whose favorite hobby is corrupting magical girls.

Books were my first love and best friends growing up, which I did in five states and four countries. My love of storytelling has never waned, and I've always wanted to write -- and share -- my own stories.I love fantasy, especially fairy tale retellings, fascinating magic systems, humor, and clean paranormal romance. I like science fiction too, but the more magic in a story, the more pleased I'm likely to be.I have two comics, the first of them complete, the second ongoing. I enjoy reading, writing, drawing, crafts, editing, and I occasionally play videogames.

To Prevent Chic Costumes - Emily Martha Sorensen
Chapter 1: The Desperation
Quiet and stillness drifted through the night. Chronos slumbered softly, savoring the rarity of a peaceful somnolence.
It’s been fifty-eight hours, and I still haven’t changed my mind!
a voice screamed.
Chronos jerked awake, her heart pounding wildly. She spun to her other side to look at the door to her bedroom, but Kendra was already on her way out.
SLAM!!
Chronos sat there in the darkness, her heart pounding from the shock of being jerked awake. Her eyes ached from exhaustion, and the clock beside her glowed 4:15.
Doesn’t she ever sleep? Chronos thought in numb disbelief.
See you in an hour!
the unwelcome voice called.
Chronos plucked her digital clock off her bedside table, gripping it in her tense fingers. Four am. She glowered at the clock as if that would change the facts. That makes five hours in a row she’s done this.
The first time had been at 11:40, exactly an hour after Chronos had gone to bed to end the former magical girl’s latest argument. The second time had been at 12:55. The third at 2:06. The fourth at 3:07.
From the living room, Chronos heard a quiet thump. It sounded like someone jumping back onto the couch to catch another comfortable hour of sleep.
Chronos’s eyes squeezed shut. What was with her insane and incredibly unwanted houseguest?
Maybe this was normal for magical girls who defected to villainy. Such occurrences weren’t common, and Chronos had never paid that much attention to them.
She knew someone who did, though. Someone who was an expert in them.
I could ask Rhea to . . .
She cut off the thought viciously. NO!
If there was one thing worse than an unwanted houseguest, it was her older sister. It had been five years since they’d last laid eyes on one another, and Chronos wanted to keep it that way.
A traitorous thought drifted across her mind.
Except . . . there’s still no chance of Kendra leaving anytime soon . . .
Chronos smashed the alarm clock into her bedside table, feeling sick and angry. Sure, she couldn’t see futures that she herself was involved in. Sure, that meant there might be some possible future in which she convinced the former magical girl to leave. But she’d tried everything that she could think of, and it had just made the girl all the more determined.
The first thing she’d tried, of course, was to tackle Kendra and shove her out the front door. The pest had easily broken loose, apparently much stronger in human form than your average magical girl.
Is that all?
the teenage girl had asked casually. I’ve had arch-nemeses who did much worse than that. It’s not like I’ve only trained while transformed.
Chronos had clenched her fists and promised herself
