Millie went missing three months ago. Police suspect the worst. Penelope refuses to give up. When she finds the cryptic note Millie left for her, she finds herself on a wild chase through worlds she never thought she'd know. Through a love story that consumes her, a mystery that suffocates her, and lies that surround her, Penelope discovers a side to herself that is insatiable. And just as quickly, finds out what the cost is to learning the truth of what happened the night Millie went missing. ________________________________________________________ The alcohol swirled Penelope's head as she copied him, his cold uncaring eyes the only unmoving thing in her vision. He was like a beacon in the night-and she was drawn to the light. She wanted to strangle him, to hurt him the way he hurt her. But she also wanted something else-something more. Her hands shook as her feet, with their own mind, crossed the distance to him. He had long since looked away, his jaw as stiff as the rest of his body the closer she got. But he stayed-for once, he didn't run away. Penelope looked at him, conflicting emotions swimming inside her heart. She wanted him-to touch him, to feel his hands on her skin, to be with him, to never leave him. "I hate you." She said it again, confirming the words as the tears fell faster down her flushed cheeks. "Why? Why didn't you stop them?" She grabbed his leather jacket, clenching the material in her hands; desperate for answers, for a do-over, for something. Something that he could never give to her no matter how hard she searched. His eyebrows cinched together as his blue eyes watered, staring at nothing and knowing full-well he couldn't be the relief to her trauma. He shook his head with a dark pained smile on his face, "It's ironic that I tried though, isn't it?" ________________________________________________________ Started: Feb 21st, 2021 100 votes: April 3rd, 2021 1k reads: June 4th 2021 11/30ish chapters completed 🤭

As her stories start to come true, Nascha begins to realize who--or what--she truly is. And with that comes enemies who want her for her gift, forcing her to leave the comforts of home to face an epic adventure caused by her own creations. However, she is not alone. She will travel with new friends: Laku, the prince and heir to the throne, and Tia, the mysterious girl from the dark mountains of Achnus. But working together may be a little complicated as they discover more of each other's mysteries, goals, and secret identities.

To countdown and to pass the tedious days until the exciting official release of Dork Diaries 12 I have decided to write a Fanfiction based off of the book's description. I will update everyday (sometimes twice) until the release date of October 17th 2017. If you haven't read the first 11 Dork Diaries books I would highly recommend doing so first. Because they're amazing and there are SPOILERS in this Fanfic. DISCLAIMER: THIS IS NOT DORK DIARIES 12. I do not own Dork Diaries or its characters, the original author Rachel Renée Russell does. Please support the official release of Dork Diaries 12 this October. Because judging by the book's description as of 9/21/17, this is going to be the best one yet.
