William is a fifteen year old, cheeky, spoilt brat in need of discipline. Based in Scotland the boy is sent by his father, Commodis to guard the farm from rumoured beasts whom lurk from beyond the mountains. A role the boy is reluctant to take, the question is... Does he take his job seriously? Or does he find it an opportunity to play possum with his working family.
Based on the legend 'The Boy Who Cried Wolf' this fable is a mere attempt to resurrect the ancient story with my own dash of action and pinch of horror.

Sirens in Beacon Hills
Book is under construction. Working on some edits. When I was eight, we were out on a boat in the ocean, enjoying a sunny family day. The waves lapped gently against the hull, and the salty breeze played with my hair. My dad, in his usual carefree manner, had forgotten to put a life jacket on me. I was too young to notice or care, too excited by the adventure. But then, in the blink of an eye, I lost my balance and tumbled overboard. The world became a blur of bubbles and darkness as I sank, panic gripping my small body. I had never learned to swim, and the water felt cold and unforgiving as it filled my lungs. I remember the terror, the helpless flailing. I died that day... **A Teen Wolf fan-fiction**
Lost Among the Peaks
This story follows Alex, a young boy who is unexpectedly thrust into a world of danger and mystery when he is pursued by a group known as the Hunters. Initially, Alex believes he's just an ordinary kid, but as the story unfolds, he learns that he's connected to something far greater-something ancient and powerful. The Hunters are after him because of what he is, not just who he is, and they believe he holds the key to a power that could reshape the world. As Alex journeys through the mountains with his companion, Jack, he faces increasingly perilous situations. Along the way, Jack reveals pieces of the truth-Alex is not just any ordinary person, but someone who holds a power that others want to exploit. Jack has been protecting him for years, keeping him in the dark for his safety, but now, with the Hunters closing in, Alex must make a choice: continue running and hiding, or face the truth about himself and the power within him. Throughout the story, Alex grapples with the weight of his newfound identity and the responsibility that comes with it. The mountains, the storm, and the constant pursuit of the Hunters serve as metaphors for Alex's inner journey-he must confront the parts of himself he's been avoiding, understand his purpose, and make a stand against those who would use his power for destruction. In the end, Alex chooses to face his fate head-on, no longer running from what he is, but embracing the strength and potential he has inside. The story is about self-discovery, overcoming fear, and stepping into one's true power in the face of overwhelming odds.
