Ever since she was a baby, little Esmeralda has seen shadows and heard whispers. But she’s learned to tune them out. A month after Esme turns 17, she starts hearing whispers again, whispers from the forest beside her house. She knows she shouldn’t listen, but who wouldn’t when they taunt you 24/7? For Esme, it all seems to be inside her head. She writes it off as a mass hallucination. Little does she know that fate has bigger problems and darker secrets that are yet to be revealed to her. Secrets that won’t break her if she learns how to take the burden. Secrets that turn everything she knows and completely and irrevocably changes her; for better or for worse, only she can determine. Refusing to acknowledge these secrets she falls deep into a rut. When fate tells her her darkest truth yet, she is forced to face the truth. She is faced with a choice. A choice between two lives, two loves. A decision that will change her forever. LITERALLY FORVER.

The Phantom of the Woods  by Bl00mingTales
20 parts Complete
In the quiet, superstitious town of Hollow's End, whispers circulate about a boy who lives deep in the woods-a boy cursed with half the face of a skeleton, feared by all who dare to speak his name. The townspeople warn that the forest is haunted, urging everyone to stay far from its shadowy borders. Lily, a daring 19-year-old who has never believed in old tales, sneaks into the woods one night, driven by her unshakable curiosity. There, she meets Kael, a mysterious and brooding figure whose life has been marred by a curse that forced him into isolation. Kael, now 23, lives alone in a secluded cabin, hiding behind a mask that conceals the skeletal half of his face. To his surprise, Lily isn't frightened by his appearance-she sees past the curse to the man he truly is. As the two grow closer, their bond begins to challenge the very beliefs that have kept Kael isolated for years. But the curse that haunts Kael runs deeper than anyone in the town knows. As Lily delves into the mystery of what really happened to Kael, she discovers that the curse isn't just about his appearance-it's tied to a dark secret that could destroy them both. In The Phantom of the Woods, Lily and Kael must face the unknown together, unearthing the truth behind the curse and testing whether love can break through the barriers of fear and isolation. Their journey leads them into the heart of the forest's darkness, where secrets, danger, and the very essence of Kael's humanity are at stake.
