I wasn't looking for anyone. Definitely not some half-dead guy bleeding out in the woods.
But hey, life's been full of surprises lately. Like how I graduated with no plans, no future, and no one in my corner (certainly not my parents)- unless you count my best friend Kayla and a lot of quiet resentment.
Then there was him. Croagin. Not quite human, not quite explainable, and apparently really into giving away dangerous secrets to girls who make bad choices in the forest.
Now I'm somewhere that's not home, wrapped up in something ancient and messy and magical, with creatures that don't like me and two guys who might destroy each other - or me - if I'm not careful.
All I ever wanted was to be seen. Turns out someone finally did.
A dark, sharp-tongued fantasy about unwanted magic, complicated boys, and what happens when invisibility stops being safe.

How To Hate A Heartthrob
For most of my life, I was basically invisible. I could've jumped off a building yelling, "Hey guys, I'm going to jump!" and the world would've just... kept scrolling. I wasn't depressed or anything - just tired of being unnoticed. It would've been nice if someone, anyone, looked my way. But after a while, I got used to it. No attention meant no distractions. No judgment. Just me, my cat, cookies, and my best friend Naomi against the world. My plan was simple: survive high school, glow up in college, find my Prince Charming, and drive off into the sunset in a pink Volkswagen Beetle. (Don't judge me. That's my dream car.) But then he showed up. Alexander Collins - the new kid. Arrogant, annoying, frustratingly good-looking. The kind of boy who ruins your peace just by existing. Somehow, he's made it his life mission to get under my skin. And even though I swear I hate him... part of me can't help but wonder if maybe being noticed by him isn't so bad. --------- This is my first story, I hope you enjoy it. I'll be honestly I'm not good at writing at ALL, but I've been wanting to pick up a hobby So I apologize in advance for my terrible grammar, and for most likely a cringy book.

Release Me
Highest ranked- #10 in action 2/16/2017 A promotion. That's all I wanted. I didn't want to run for my life. I didn't want to be kidnapped. I didn't want to face death. I didn't want to find out my whole life was a lie. I just wanted a bloody promotion. Guess fate had other plans? **** The cold air fanned over my face as I opened the door. The exit door lead to the back of the building so it was pitch black. I leaned against the wall trying to control myself. Blood was running down my arm and head. My hair was stuck to my face from all the sweat and blood. Everything was spinning around me and the ground seemed like it was shaking. Groaning I sat down and put my head on my knees. He knows who I am. He knows how I look like. He knows where I work so possible knows where I live. I am not safe anymore... no where. While I was in my own world I heard faint sounds behind me but I didn't bother to look or run away. The footsteps got closer and I was pretty sure it was Walker's men. I should run. I should try to fight. But what's the point in trying to run away? He would eventually find me and if he has his way he would most likely kill me. If this is my fate then why am I trying to fight it? I felt someone harshly grab my waist and pull me up and I complied. They dragged me down the alley and into the busy street. I heard the opening of a car and the next thing I knew I was being thrown into a car. My head hit the hard leather seat and the door shut behind me. Maybe this is how my life will end. Maybe I should just let it happen. Maybe I was destined to die alone as a no one. With that I let the darkness consume me.Complete

His eyes gleamed. "I warned you." "Why?" A tear slipped free, hot and unwanted. "She did nothing to you." His smile vanished in an instant. "YOU DID." The word slammed into the corridor, bouncing off the walls. He stepped closer, and I stumbled back, my legs barely holding me upright. "Everything that happens," he snarled, "is because of you. Because you ran. Because you disobeyed me." "No," I whispered, shaking my head. "It's not my fault." "It is," he said calmly now, cruelly. "It's always been your fault."
I Slept with my Childhood Friend whom I had a Crush On
"I think I like someone." My first crush and childhood friend, and the sub-male lead in this novel. In the summer, Hares confided a secret to me. A period(.) that would bring an eternal end to my long-time unrequited love. Honestly, I had almost given up. The sub-male lead existed only for the female protagonist, so there was no way it could work out between us. Just as I resigned myself to that fact, though... "Well, what do you think of us cooperating?" I made an alliance with the male protagonist, a psychopath, who was also eyeing the female lead. But I never expected that this seemingly innocent alliance would turn into something this big. "What kind of nonsense is that? For that stray dog, Rize Chelsea, to become my interest? That would be very unfortunate for her." Thanks to that (?), the male protagonist's obsession with the female lead was directed towards me instead. "You confess to me first and then play around with that b*stard? I'll chase after you till the end." Now, my childhood friend, who should like the female lead, was demanding that I take responsibility because he spent the night with me! I just wanted to make my unrequited love come true, but how did it turn out like this?!
