Layla would have never wanted to spend the night in a pool shack with her friends and their dumb ideas. Unfortunately, they were her ride home. Steadily, the windy day transformed into a night of devastation right before her eyes. But, with her best friend and her crush by her side, she should make it out alive. Right? 𝗔𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗱𝘀 & 𝗥𝗲𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘄𝘀 𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘀𝘁 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗘𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗔𝗳𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗔𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗱𝘀 𝟭𝘀𝘁 𝗶𝗻 𝗧𝗮𝗿𝗱𝗶𝘀 𝗔𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗱𝘀 𝗦𝗦 - Whisper of an Arrow is a strangely captivating story from the beginning. Immediately introduced into the tale are the three main characters, Layla, Henry, and Rachel, who familiarize the readers with their different personalities within the first chapter. The movingly descriptive settings transform from a casual yet windy day to a stormy night of devastation in a short time, but somehow this pacing perfects the script. Saying anything more is unnecessary; just read the book. 𝟯𝗿𝗱 𝗶𝗻 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗚𝗼𝗹𝗱𝗲𝗻 𝗔𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗱𝘀 -This was just amazing. I loved it! No grammar/spelling mistakes, a wide range of extraordinary vocabulary, and an eye-catching plot. What else does a good story need? I loved it. This should be a full-fledged book! I'll be waiting for the next chapters. There's nothing else to say-just read it! ◈ short story - thriller - horror ◈

✨ FEATURED on WattpadPotterverse 🪄 This story now has assistive text-to-speech 🗣️ so you can listen to each chapter ✨ ❝I solemnly swear that I am up to no good...❞ Margaret Adelaide Xenakis had a pretty normal life until the age of 14. And then she got struck by lightning. As if nature's unnecessary assault was not enough, it leaves her with 'voodoo stuff' instead - powers of telekinesis, telepathy, teleportation, and whatnot. Now at 16, trying to deal with the loss of her twin brother while suppressing her destructive powers, the struggling teen has much on her platter already. When she gets struck by lightning once again and wakes up in an unfamiliar place surrounded by way too many redheads, a bushy-haired girl and a bespectacled boy with a lightning-shaped scar on his forehead... Let's just say Margaret's life might've gotten weirder than she could have ever imagined. Reading the Harry Potter books had been just a hobby. But suddenly, Margaret is burdened with the weight of knowing the future. She has to not only weave her way through the Wizarding World and fight in a war she had believed was fictional, but also save everyone who did not deserve to die in the crossfire. Talk about tough luck. ~ Warning: probably contains plot boo-boos like the inclusion of the movie storyline :) This is NOT an OC X Harry Potter story.
