Natascha Griggs never asked to be a killer. But when her magic spiraled out of control, leaving bodies in its wake, she was given a choice-rot in prison or be sent to the Institute for the Unruly, a facility designed to rehabilitate children like her. She chose survival. But the Institute isn't just a school. Beneath its pristine walls, something sinister lurks. Whispers of a long-dead tyrant, a cult that never truly died-and a chilling truth: they believe she's the key to bringing their leader back. As she struggles to control her power and navigate the shifting alliances within the Institute, Natascha begins uncovering secrets she was never meant to find. With time running out and the walls closing in, she must decide: fight against a past she barely understands or embrace the darkness and become what they need her to be. One choice could save her. One choice could doom them all. ⸻ Disclaimer: The Institute for the Unruly is being written as part of a 30-day rough draft challenge. This means the story is in its earliest, unpolished form, with ongoing development. Expect raw storytelling, evolving ideas, and a journey that will refine over time! TikTok-@katyohera

By night, the grand castle falls silent-except for the soft echoes of footsteps that should not exist. A forgotten relic, once an ordinary object, stirs to life when the moonlight seeps through the stained-glass windows. It wanders the empty halls, weaving through shadows, searching for something... or someone. As it pieces together lost memories hidden within the castle's walls, a lingering presence watches from the dark, waiting for the relic to remember the truth.

In a quiet cobblestone town haunted by mysterious disappearances, a ruthless king reigns with blood-soaked traditions. His crown jewel: a pageant destined to end in carnage. Liana, a bright young woman with no desire to wear a crown or bleed for one, wants nothing to do with it. But when whispers of her mother's vanishing trace back to the palace, Liana finds herself tangled in a deadly game. What she uncovers may not only change her fate - it may awaken something darker within her.
