WATTY'S 2022 SHORTLIST🏅A Qing Dynasty Snow White fairytale retelling with a Princess Mononoke twist. Featured on @Wattpad's Fantasy Adventures reading list and @WattpadExplorer. ***** Snow is anything but the submissive princess the Jade Palace expects her to be. Her foster mothers find her impossible, her royal tutor labels her incorrigible, and she recently threatened to shave her head if she were forced to marry. When the Empress presents her with an opportunity to go on the imperial spring hunt with the princes and her not-so-secret crush, Prince Erden, Snow jumps at the chance. Who knew that that would lead to an assassination attempt, a harrowing escape, and her getting hopelessly lost in a dark forest during a thunderstorm--with no survival skills whatsoever. The only things she has to help her survive are lots of moxie and latent magical powers she inherited from her deceased mother. Oh, and an ethereally white fox that led seven old dwarves to her. With the Empress's malicious intent now revealed, Snow must discover her true strength, who her mother really is, and what magical powers she wields, in order to find her way back to Erden. If she fails, she might never see him again and die a lonely old crone in the mountains. . . or get murdered anyway when the bloodthirsty Empress--said to have fantastical powers of her own--comes for Snow.

Moira is probably the strangest teenager you'll ever meet... Strolling through a blizzard in the snow-covered streets of London with a book or two in hand might be weird, but causing a grown man to vanish into thin air is definitely weirder. Determined to remain a wallflower in order to protect her strange abilities, capturing the interest of the narcissistic Kieran Wright seems to change things...and not exactly in a good way. All it takes are a series of strange events, a mysterious talking tree spirit and the enigma that is Alvar Blackheart, to make Moira question her sanity. But the truth is unquestionable that humans aren't the only beings in the universe; other dimensions are host to millions of Supernaturals, with the majority wanting her dead. Could this be the adventure she seeks right at her fingertips? What is Moira and how can she keep the world from discovering her secret? Beautiful cover by me! ALL RIGHTS RESERVED @2018

February 19th, 2018 He is test subject Three-eleven-thirteen. Ellie for short. He's human. Remarkable. He can breathe freely, no tubes. His heart has adapted to beating on it's own. He opened his eyes yesterday, we looked at one another. He looked at me, truly looked at me. My daughter, Ripley, tried speaking with him, but he didn't understand. I will have her keep working with him. He will speak. February 23rd, 2018 He is standing. His bones are still fragile, but he is gaining muscle rapidly. This is incredible progress in such little time. Everything is going as planned, though his fingernails are black. They weren't black yesterday. March 13th, 2018 Ellie attacked Ripley last night. He will be kept in restraints from now on. March 27th, 2018 My God he is strong. The mysterious blackness that had formed in his fingernails is now flowing in his veins. Whatever this black liquid is, it's possessing him. April 4th, 2018 He bit me last night. I can feel the mystery in my veins. What is this? April 5th, 2018 Test subject three-eleven-thirteen, Ellie, will no longer be a patient of mine. I have locked him up in a cell in my lab. I fear him. He will stay in that cell for God knows how long until he starves to death. I am a coward. April 6th, 2018 I can't tolerate this. I think I'm truly losing it. My memories, my spirit, I feel them being eaten by this black virus. I have to end this tonight. I have to end myself tonight. I have too. Ripley, my sweet daughter, I love you baby. I am sorry for creating that abomination. I am so sorry.

Those who were taken... They never came back, dragged beneath the waves never to return. Their haunting screams were a symbol of their horrific deaths. Like shadows they lay in wait, the deep blue waters hiding them from view. With sharp claws they attack, Pointed fangs tearing into skin, Eager mouths devouring human flesh. Cally was taken, dragged under the water by one of the vicious creatures. But she was not devoured nor torn apart by ruthless claws--no. She was a captive. ~•~ Water instantly invades her senses. Her eyes sting, her lungs and nose burning. She thrashes, kicks, claws--anything to get away. Her efforts go to waste as her body slowly starts to shut down, the air in her lungs quickly being replaced by sea water. Cally is vaguely aware of arms wrapping around her waist and behind her head before she loses consciousness, submerged in darkness. And so she is taken. Another victim of the mysterious sea. 《Completed》 Subscribe to TheAllieL Patreon for exclusive stories and content not featured on Wattpad and to support future works and book publishing! - Free Subscriber Tier - Allie's Library - Tier 1 - $2/month - Allie's Journal - Tier 2 - $5/month Subscribe here: Patreon.com/TheAllieL

This is the story of a young girl named Heidi Seide, who grew up in Germany during the Second World War, told by her 'soul adviser' (Guardian angel). She always lived in the shadow of her twin sister and older siblings, which led her to believe she was simply never good enough, and this belief only grew stronger as a stupid little accident led to her parents finding out about her worsening eyesight. (Before starting to read this, please keep in mind that this is the very first almost unedited draft of the story. It is most likely packed with historical inaccuracies and also inaccurate German sayings/words...etc. If you ever notice I wrote something that is wrong or insensitive, please tell me and I will fix it right away, I don't want people to get my intention with this book wrong (: all right that's it, Enjoy!) (PS: Just so you all know, English is not my first language, but I enjoy writing in English. So if you see any mistakes while reading please tell me! It would help a lot. :) also, this little project is heavily inspired by the book thief, so if you enjoyed that book, this is made for you, I'm writing it specifically for you guys.)
