[Available on Amazon Kindle] Deep in the woods behind La Trinidad stands a moss-covered well-forgotten by most, feared by a few. The urban legend claims it grants a wish every leap year, at exactly 23:11.

Michelle Dayanan knows the story, just like everyone else-half as a joke, half as a warning. But when the relentless cruelty of the privileged students pushes her to the edge, she dares to make a wish for the one thing she's never had: a sense of belonging.

Then, her classmates begin to die-mysterious, violent deaths, with no connection except for her. As the deaths mount, Michelle realizes the well didn't just grant her wish-it took something far more precious in return. As her dream spirals into a waking nightmare, Michelle must confront the true cost of her wish, and the monstrous thing that never stopped listening.

Because the well doesn't just grant wishes---it feeds on them, and now it's hungry for more.

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)
