    Randomly updated, dont be suprised if i disappear for a month lmao. Yes I had ai create an original cover hush 🤷 It's a teacher × student, Tom riddle story. be grateful Most impressive Rankings: #17 in Theodore Nott Anabella Weasley has always felt out of place-even in the magical world she was born into. Faces linger too long, glances carry unspoken recognition, and memories seem to echo across lifetimes. Returning to Hogwarts for another year, Ana is drawn into the familiar rhythms of school, but the quiet, strange moments tug at her mind: her mother's lingering looks, fleeting glances from people who seem to see more than just her, and the theory of being reborn that refuses to let go. In the library's hidden corners, Ana studies with her closest friends-Draco, Blaise, Pansy, Theodore, and Luna-surrounded by scattered books, whispered jokes, and playful debates. They tease, they speculate, and they comfort each other, but Ana's thoughts drift to patterns she can't explain. Past lives, recognition, and connections beyond time haunt her quietly, shaping the way she sees the world. Between algebra, magical theory, and whispered confessions, Ana begins to notice the subtle threads that tie people-and perhaps lives-together. In a place as familiar as Hogwarts, where magic is everywhere but truths are hidden, Ana must navigate friendship, discovery, and the unsettling pull of recognition. Echoes Between Lives is a story of memory, identity, and the invisible bonds that shape us across time.

    Iris Calder finally has everything she's ever wanted: a quiet home, a devoted fiancé, and a life untouched by chaos. Theo Blackwell keeps his promises-he protects her, provides for her, and ensures nothing threatens their peace. But devotion has a shadow, and the closer he holds her, the harder it becomes to tell where love ends and possession begins.

    When analytical consultant Elias Crowe is recruited by a secretive government maritime division to investigate unexplained ship disappearances, he expects faulty sonar, natural anomalies, and human error. What he gets instead is the Metal Coffin-a windowless deep-sea submersible designed not to see, but to listen. As Crowe descends into an impossible ocean trench where depth no longer behaves like distance, he uncovers fragments of a truth buried beneath layers of classified directives, altered logs, and a shadow organization known only as The Listeners-a cult embedded within the government that believes something ancient beneath the ocean is not a god, but an archivist of reality itself. With every descent, the entity responds faster. With every calculation, it becomes more familiar. Crowe slowly realizes the mission was never about exploration. It was about introduction. And once the archive is complete, humanity will no longer be observed from below. It will be filed.

    At 3:17 a.m., everyone received the same notification. UNKNOWN USER has viewed your profile. The problem? The app doesn't have profile views. What starts as a glitch turns into something much worse when cameras activate, speakers whisper, and accounts begin disappearing-along with the people behind them. When seventeen-year-old Lena sees a live feed of herself from a corner of her room... a corner with no camera... she realizes this isn't a hack. It's watching. And it's not coming from inside the system. It's coming from directly behind you. If you sleep with your phone near your bed... If your location is always on... If you've ever felt like something was watching you in the dark... This story might feel a little too real. Check your notifications. Just in case.

    An anthology of horror where each chapter stands alone-until it doesn't. New characters. New nightmares. One recurring phrase: This is not for you. As the warning repeats, a larger pattern begins to form, connecting every story in ways you weren't meant to see. You were warned. You kept reading.

    I was raised to believe the sea listens. Not like a person listens, but the way a wound does. Quiet. Waiting. In Hollowtide, we learned the rules before we learned how to swim. Don't go near the water after dark. Don't cross it. If the song starts, you don't answer. You run. The night I broke the first rule, nothing happened. That was what scared me.

    A group of five dumb teenagers decides one night that it'd be a great and fun idea to go explore an abandoned, run-down factory that shut down years ago due to an... "accident." Will they find out what REALLY went down at the factory? Or will they find something they wish they hadn't? we don't we find out together, yeah? [btw, the factory initially was open and working from 1994 before it shut down in 2005 due to the "accident." So everyone fled after that ;) so now the current date in this will take part in early 2013. Enjoy!☆

    No one notices when it starts. That's the point. This isn't a story about monsters, ghosts, or violence. It's about attention - and what happens when it becomes unnecessary. Each chapter changes something small. Not in the world. In you. There is no twist. There is no explanation. And nothing here needs to be watched to continue. You don't have to keep reading. But most people do.

    You turn the page. The words are familiar. Too familiar. Something is not right. The story is speaking to you as an old friend-one who knows too much. You try to push the feeling away, remind yourself that it's just a book. Just words on paper. And then the whispers start. The uneasy déjà vu. The face in the mirror that lingers a second too long. You've been here before. And you'll be here again. Inescapable is an enthralling psychological horror novel, you can't escape, which drags you in a never-ending nightmare as the world crumbles, identity falls apart, and the narrative takes you captive. The moment you start, it's already too late to break free. Are you sure you haven't read this before?

    This is my first book I have publicly made on Wattpad, I do not have much experience with this app other than occasionally fanfic reading :) The story will be multiple parts and i plan on making it through ATLEAST 100 total levels. It will remain in 1st person view (I did *action*) unless I get creative in another fashion. All of the research I did on this is from "thebackrooms.info" and some of my base knowledge so please forgive me for any grammatical errors, mess ups with levels, entities, items that may appear, and so on so forth.
