Scarlett | Nilia by Izy_Winchester

Nearly a decade ago, Scarlett Schnapp was kidnapped and tortured by a ruthless man named Blaine Maye. It was a mystery that shocked the world for over two weeks with a state wide search and several alerts out for the six-year-old little girl. The case turned into an even bigger mystery when she showed up at the sheriff's station in the arms of a dripping wet sixteen-year-old girl-a girl who had been missing over a year. Now Scarlett is sixteen and living the dream. Following in her famous parents footsteps, she's become a model; and an actress when her film director uncle's needs her to be. Yet, the past still haunts her every time she closes her eyes. Her stepmother is expecting her second child with Scar's father and due to the high risk pregnancy she is laid up in bed until the baby comes; leaving Scarlett to watch her little five-year-old half-sister Alysa Kate until her father returns from work. Unaware of the new court hearing and Blaine Maye's release, Scar turns rebellious and leaves Alysa home alone to go hang out with her friends. What's the worst that could happen? She was home in bed inside a heavily secured house after all. When Scarlett arrives home, she arrives to a madhouse of police cars and crying parents: Alysa Kate was gone. She had simply vanished into thin air like Scarlett had all those years ago. But she knows this wasn't a random act or a crazy fan. No this was Blaine Maye, and he was making good on his promise. Which means Scar only has 168 hours to find and stop Maye before it's too late.

Death's Temporary Home For Lost Souls by BookNrd

Cara, a troubled college dropout, finds herself slowly falling for a handsome stranger - who turns out to be Death incarnate. But the arrival of a mysterious being puts Death's home for lost souls and his very existence at risk, forcing Cara to help his stubborn spirit residents achieve their unfinished business. *** Reeling from a tragic personal loss and armed with a life-altering secret, interior designer Cara Rossi leaves behind the bustling New York streets in search of tranquility and finds herself enchanted by the quaint town of Neverton, Massachusetts. In fact, Cara is so devoted to finding inner peace that she doesn't bat an eye when a friendly local asks her to renovate a decrepit Victorian mansion straight out of a horror film. The renovation soon turns out to be the least of Cara's worries when she meets the devastatingly handsome owner of the home - who turns out to be Death himself. But this version of Death is nothing like you see in the movies; he wears cozy sweaters, makes home-cooked meals, and runs a home for lost souls with unfinished business where he helps them cross to the other side. When the very existence of Death's home is threatened by a mysterious stranger called The Auditor, Cara feels obligated to help him pass on the undead residents. But Neverton has a way of breaking down people's walls, and as Cara spends more time with Death she must face the most horrifying thing of all: her own heart, and her growing feelings for an Immortal.

W.E.L.F.S: The Snake's Eye (COMPLETED) by Naumaan333

"I saw you and you were just standing there. I started walking towards you and you-just-just stood there." Stuttered Stiles. "I tapped on your shoulder and you turned around. You didn't answer me. You didn't even notice I was there. You just stared at something, something that wasn't visible and y-you-" Paused Stiles, whose legs were vibrating and he started to breathe heavily. "And I what?" I asked trying to get the words out. "You died." He stated. "What?" Asked I, like he had just said the most craziest thing ever. It was slightly humorous. He had to be joking, I thought to myself. "You- just died." Murmured Stiles, who had stopped shaking and had stood up. -------------- The world consists of many parallel multiverses. Each separate and unique. We all know Earth 1, yet not many people are familiar to the lost planet, Earth 1000. The planet was Imperium; Declared the most powerful, biggest rogue planet of the multiverse- many people sought out to rule it. Therefore a war was sparked. Some people say, that the planet birthed death because of the deadly war. However, something else was birthed, an heir. Her name was Milia. She possessed true power and ultimately ended the war. Milia ruled the world and her children became the inevitable successors. Although they lacked Milia's gift, the future generation, though it was thousand's of years later contained Milia's powers. The children were named the true heir, therefore they were hunted. No hunter was more well known than the bitch, the baddest; Methaya. Being half human, half snake, her luminescent eyes turned the living into the inanimate. To save her children, the Queen of the planet rifted her children into Earth, where they lived for 500 years, unaware of their cursed destiny. After a prophecy declaring that the oldest would die, the truth started unravelling and they learnt things- that would change things forever.
