Born with a passion for the water and a remarkable talent for swimming, it's no wonder that Rayne Bennett spends more time in the pool than she does on land. But when family secrets become unearthed and lies are uprooted, Rayne realizes that her passion for the water goes farther back than she could have ever imagined. When Rayne finds herself moving back to her quiet birthplace of Shady Cove, things start to unravel even faster. What really happened to her mother, who had (supposedly) been killed thirteen years ago? Why does Rayne feel such an intimate connection with the ocean? The answers, as she will soon find out, come at a cost so great that her life-as well as the lives of those she loves-is in grave danger. Though she doesn't know it, Rayne is the key to unlocking the mysteries that dwell just beneath the ocean's surface. She is the answer to the secrets of the deep. [ adventure #5, fantasy #6 ]

*On hiatus for now because writer's block is out to get me* Amanda is a huge Pokemon fan. She knows every Pokemon and their type, every move, and has even memorized the type match up chart. She never believed any of it was real, though. Then one day in an unexplained phenomenon, she is transported into the Kalos Region in the Pokemon world with two of her friends, Genevieve and Connor. Suddenly, the three are struggling to survive and get back home. To make matters worse, Team Flare is making a come back, and they threaten everyone, people and Pokemon alike. Team Flare has a special interest in capturing Amanda, Connor, and Genevieve for reasons unknown, but none of them good. It will take every ounce of Amanda's knowledge to defeat Team Flare and get herself and her friends back home. Can she do it, or will they be stuck in the Pokemon world....... FOREVER? Disclaimer: I do not own Pokemon. The OCs, however, are mine. I thank @NyxAbsol for the awesome cover! She is awesome! You should follow her!

2015 PKMNWatties Best in Short Story "I remember that moment my siblings all curled up around me, their fur warm and soft, enough to make me sleepy and dreamy. I looked up at them, my little nose sniffling in the cold wind that rushed from the snowstorm happening outside. "You'll never leave me, right? We'll always be together?" I asked quietly, my voice echoing in the silence of the cave. They all stared profoundly at me, their eyes sincere and kind. All eight of them wore genuine smiles as they purred, rubbing themselves against me in a kind of calming manner. At first I worried they didn't hear me, until my eldest brother, the Alpha of our pack, Jolteon, came closer to me, pushing my little body closer to his. "There'll never be a moment with even a single Eeveelution short." I nestled closer to the safety of my brothers and sisters, my eyes just about shut in the warm company of my family. There was no way to predict what would happen in the future. There was no possible telling we would be together forever as a pack. But despite it all, I believed him. There was nine of us. And that's how it would always be. Or so I thought. You could never imagine how fast a promise could be broken. How quickly you could be pierced. And worse than it all, despite the long, painful years you wait, how some wounds never heal." ----- ~Cover by @AllHailRempire! It's literally the best cover I've seen in my entire life O: THANKS SO MUCH!~
