The end is just the beginning. .................................................................................................. "I'm giving you all ten seconds to move out of my way before I make you move." I said in a booming voice while crossing my arms prepared for an easy battle. "And what if we don't, LITTLE GIRL." The person seeming to be the leader said with a cocky grin. I glared at them menacingly, clearly irritated and murmured, " Be prepared to be beaten by a LITTLE GIRL" I formed fists. "I don't even need any weapons to defeat you all within five minutes." I pulled out my timer and put it on for 5 minutes while smiling grimly. A few people chuckled at my words, thinking I was bluffing. "I think you messed with the wrong little girl" I smirked. " Let's test that theory!" He grinned while walking closer, glowering at me, I frowned for a second then I mused, "Oh really? Well, I think that was enough, you already wasted a few seconds!" * Updates Regularly*

**Wattpad featured story** WINNER of The Galaxy Awards (1st position in General Fiction) WINNER of The Freedom Awards (1st position in Adventure) #48 in Adventure (25/Nov/2017) "Down by the river by the boats Where everybody goes to be alone Where you won't see any rising sun Down to the river we will run When by the water we drink to the dregs Look at the stones on the river bed I can tell from your eyes You've never been by the riverside Down by the water the riverbed Somebody calls you somebody says Swim with the current and float away Down by the river everyday When that old river runs pass your eyes To wash off the dirt on the riverside Go to the water so very near The river will be your eyes and ears I walk to the borders on my own To fall in the water just like a stone Chilled to the marrow in them bones Why do I go here all alone" - Agnes Obel Heavily inspired by the song. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Excerpt: She never broke into big smiles, cried, laughed or gave out any expression - but I wouldn't say that she was expressionless either - just that she was way too mysterious. And I liked that about her. She smiled; a short little lift of her lips. She stared; a wide pair of eyes looking straight into my soul. She tried to figure me out; a small crease along her forehead. She became sad; a tiny bit of teardrop trying to sneak its way out of her eyes. She became angry; a frown, almost invisible, constantly there. How can you not be obsessed with her? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Main Genre: Psychological Thriller Sub-Genre: Adventure

There's only one rule: Never lock the door Gianna believes manual labor to be penance for the mistake that changed her life. Nothing can be worse than serving probation under the supervision of a bitter, elderly woman, known as the Caretaker, running a bed and breakfast in the middle of the Arizona desert. Then the strangers begin arriving. They appear every night at sundown at the end of the driveway and vanish early in the morning, armed men and women who don't quite look or act normal and never travel in vehicles, despite the property being twenty miles from town. Where they come from baffles Gianna, as does the single rule the Caretaker gives her. The front door must remain unlocked and the house accessible to the dangerous visitors no matter how unusual or frightening they are. When one of them arrives wounded, Gianna helps save him and unknowingly makes a powerful friend, one from a very faraway place. In fact, from another world entirely, the world that starts at the end of the driveway. Before she can learn more, Gianna is left alone with the strangers and must choose whether she'll take over the Caretaker's role as hostess or return to New York and risk jail time for violating her probation. Gianna defies the Caretaker and locks the front door instead. Her world will never be the same.
