"The world is predictable," my father once said. "And the beasts that live among it make it so." But were they the beasts, or was it us this entire time?

Crees isn't like the other Tendrils of his society. And that is because of one simple fact: he is still alive. After years of enduring anguish from all sides of every story, he still manages to step out into the ever-hidden sunlight and make relative peace with the world.

Every year for the past seven that he has spent in a canyon so deep the surface is practically a myth, he has found himself facing death but never leaving with Him. And so that cursed tradition continues.

But things are changing. The war high above between their two captivators is intensifying, and the Tendrils know they have little time left. Crees wants nothing more than to enjoy it with those rare few who call him family, call him friend, but his curse is making that difficult. Especially when, this time around, it leaves him under the microscope of the two warring alien tribes.All Rights Reserved

The Darkness in the Light by djscloud

For over a hundred years, humanity has lived in fear of the monsters that roam the streets, lurking in the drains below. Women and their daughters hide, protected in their homes, while men take their sons through the world, teaching them the responsibilities of having a family to feed and dangers to avoid. No one leaves the home unless it's essential, and most of the world prefers it that way. Until one girl spends her days perched on her window seat, looking down at the world below and dreaming of a different life. Her eyes are always drawn to the dark, ominous drains in the street, the ones that often blink open to swallow and person whole. One day, that person is her little brother, snatched right in front of her from their arms of their father and gone forever. When a person is snatched, they never return, and life goes on without them. But she can't accept that. Breaking all the rules, all the things she's ever known, she braves the world outside her little townhouse and goes on a mission into the darkness to find her brother. Only, it's soon her that becomes the one lost to the drains. To survive she must rediscover her world, and in the process, rediscover herself. She will be reunited with old friends, gain new ones, find out deeper secrets about her past than she ever could have imagined, and learn that the world is even more corrupt than she always thought. *** This story contains sexist ideology, mention of cheating, some gruesome scenes, and a whole lot of monsters and darkness. It isn't overly mature... there isn't much explicit language or sexual scenes, but there is a bit of violence, so just keep that in mind... and despite all that negativity, ENJOY!

Avarice Blacksteel Book 2 by Xonereth

Most of us long to "Be" but when the path gets too costly, or steep, we take solace in what we "Have." Remove the trappings of what we own and then what is the sum of us? They were the survivors, abandoned by the allies who swore to protect, in the ultimate gesture of greed and betrayal. Their world plunged into annihilation and chaos. With the passage of years in this blighted landscape order was established anew. Those who had been anonymous before the war found their will to rule, those who had experienced the comforts and ease of western life, thrust into darkness and despair. This brutal conflict had awoken those long sleeping, those who had ceased to care, those of immense power, the ones entrusted with the safe keeping of the often volatile mankind. Although their parallel world too was at risk, lethargy and arrogance ruled them. Against the backdrop of this savage landscape the saga of three such tribes of survivors unfold, and the unwitting chosen among them. One tribe sought to prosper via savagery, one by organized military might, and the other who ruled with no more than fairness and love. Three tribes thrown together, competing for the limited resources to survive, in a world teetering on the brink of total decimation. Driven by human avarice.

The Unordinary by elephant576

Six high school students looks like anyone else acts like anyone else but are capable of things no one else is. They learnt from a young age no one that means NO ONE can know about their powers even their parents and other siblings. It brings out the true friends and those who just want to use you. In the end, what do you do when your closest friend betrays you? This is the story as they try to keep their biggest darkest secret of what they are capable of and as they discover they're not the only ones like them... I am not very good at trigger warnings before individual chapters but there is mention of blood, cold abuse and parents divorcing. (But read at your own risk in case I mention something else. I am working on rewriting this story and when I do there will be the trigger warnings in the correct places.) (small teaser.) No one sees me. I am a ghost. I brush against the wooden fence. No one will believe it was me who disappeared into a fence and appeared on the other side of school. I stare at my brother. He made eye contact with me, confirming my suspicions. We both saw it. Whoever that was is like us. "Did you just see that?" I ask "You're that person my brother and I saw," He says. Oh no... Why then? "Wait! You're-" Completed just editing. (Don't be too harsh please)

The Story of Midnight by Silverwynd

"Who's out there?" One of the men yelled. Of course only silence met them. I remained quiet and waited for the group to start moving again. "Maybe it was just an animal." Someone whispered. The person, who I assumed was the captain of the small squad, signaled for them to walk again. They clearly showed fear as they kept going; brandishing their weapons to guard themselves with. "Two are holding lanterns. I'll tell you when you're too close to them." I heard my friend whisper in my ear. I followed the men as I picked up another branch and waited for the right time to break it. They continued to walk through the forest, turning their heads in every direction as if an animal might lunge at them and rip their throats out. I guess in a way I was going to do that. "Go back a few feet." My friend whispered. I carefully distanced myself from the group and waited. "Where is she?" I quickly snapped the stick as soon as he finished asking the question. They stopped and two soldiers raised their lanterns to shine its light in the darkness. I quickly hid behind a tree before both of them turned where I was. A low frustrated growl came from one of the men, "The girl's playing with us. She's out here following our every move." How paranoia can cloud the mind. At nine years old, Silver decided to leave her village for the forest. Since then, she's been hunted; everyday is a fight for her life, every breath she takes could be her last, but she's determined to stay alive. Her life isn't the kind anyone would want to live but she's managed to survive this long so, what's a few more years?

The Only by gracieford

I lost myself somewhere between space and time. I repeated my name over and over, refusing to leave myself behind. But the more I decintigrated, the more of myself I lost, until everything, my name, Timmy's smile, even my parents were forgotten. I found nothing but black space and white silence. The longer I stayed, however, the more vivid the colors became, and then they began to take shape. After what felt like hours, I was myself again, strapped to a chair with Jesse materializing in front of me. I'm Stasey. When the aliens attacked Earth, myself, my best friend Jesse, and my "friend" Timothy may have been the only people to survive. We're on a quest to find other survivors and potentially save our planet, but to do that we have to avoid being shot, eaten, or falling in love. But sometimes things work out differently than we expect, and we have to make the decision: sacrifice ourselves for the ones we love, or the ones we love for the ones we can save.

Guardians: My Best Friend (Book 1) by Azazazz099

I sat down next to her and cried on her. "Don't leave," was all I managed when I noticed she wasn't breathing. I didn't want to believe she just died. But she wasn't making any sounds. "Youre my best friend!" ------ "You're my best friend!" When she said that, I felt a pain in my stomach. You're my best friend... You're my best friend.. You were my best friend...... the words rang in my head. They meant something to me, because, she was my best friend.

Elemental Outbreak: Divinity by Random-Artist

This is the sequel to Elemental Outbreak. Who would've thought we'd be here. Honestly I didn't think that 5 page story from like a decade ago or something like that would become this, me and my friends are planning for a trilogy as well so it's crazy to think about it looking back. Anyways let me move past the nostalgia trip and whatnot lol, there might be minor spoilers below so if you haven't read the first here's the warning. One month after the previous events, our survivors are trying to settle into the zombie apocalypse and survive, the first time they got lucky with a secure home now it's starting to seem like they'll never find a home. That's not their only problem after the death of their enemy once thought to be friend, the whole world started to gain a second set of elemental abilities how will they manage? Along side that a new force of evil is starting to fill the void our big bad has left behind.

Starflight by gracenote_isabella

(DISCONTINUED) You could describe Autumn as a 13 year old girl in 7th grade with good grades and lives with her family in the country. Well...... in our world that's normal. But imagine living with your family 500 feet above the ground in tree houses the sizes of mansions, going to school with runways, and flying to work! Autumn lives in a different world; a world where Humans are the enemies while the "Creatures" are considered normal, from the mysterious dark Enders to the Tricky and Sly Spirits. While the secret war between Humans and Creatures are at rest, Autumn thinks that everything is going perfectly as it should. Well.... that part gets twisted. She is given a gift. A gift that will make her dangerous unless controlled. She learns she is not the only one given this gift and is welcomed to train in a secret society called SAIT. With this, school, and a new friend who seems to be falling for her, her world just got flipped. But she soon figures out something dark about this so called SAIT. She needs to act quick. And how to stop that darkness from rising? That's going to be far from normal.
