Ava was just an ordinary eighteen-year-old, focused on college and her future-until her dad lost his job, forcing them to move into his family's old, decaying house.
But the house is far from empty. Ghosts linger in its hallways, most of them children, and Ava senses something terrible: they didn't die by accident. Someone-or something-killed them all.
The older spirits warn her to stay away, convinced she can't help. But Ava can't ignore them.
Can she uncover the truth and bring peace to the restless dead? And who is Leo, a figure tied to the house's darkest secrets?
"can ghosts feel emotions?" I asked
"yes, they can" he whispered
"but they are dead, how?"
"The part that makes you feel isn't really a physical one, I mean, yea,h brain and chemistry and all, but initiating it all is usually somewhere within first."

Carvings That Bind
Alyssan Bogard didn't live a long life. She died when she was 17. All she remembers is waking up in her backyard. She has no memory of her death and only has a vague idea about what happened from what she's heard while lingering around her family and previous school. Alyssan has no idea why she's lingering around as a spirit and wants nothing more than to move on. That is until she meets Sawyer. Sawyer Garrison is the guy the teachers adore, who people want to befriend, and who girls want to date. He's the one who's been voted most likely to succeed in life after school. His family life is shit. Sawyer wants nothing more than to get out of dodge as soon as the opportunity presents itself and with only seven months, two weeks, and four days left it couldn't come sooner. That is until he meets Alyssan. Neither expected to meet the other and neither expected the horrendous outcome that arises from it. Alyssan never ran away and she didn't die of any natural causes either. She was murdered and the fact that her killer is still on the loose scares both of them. The fact that the killings started again is even worse. With the killer targeting more girls, she and Sawyer might be the only hope of stopping the deaths. However, remembering the events of her past might be too much for Alyssan to handle and with her time on the earth dwindling things aren't exactly looking good for them. * Cover done by VictoriaKaerComplete
The Ghost Book
An expert forensic team are called to the base to investigate a digital security breach, leading to the 141 team hosting one of the investigators. Their temporary guest, a rather odd young woman, seems to have an extreme and rather troubling reaction to Ghost's presence. But when clues to her strange behaviour are uncovered, Ghost's anger and suspicious nature gets the best of him and his quest for answers, forces him to face the darkest parts of himself. So this is a wee bit different. This story formed part of a longer work in progress. However, as that story grew, it was clear that this arc, added an unnecessarily complicated aspect to my main protagonist. Rather than let the longer story get too messy, I decided to make this a short story on it's own. The character is similar but I did end up changing her name and back story.Complete
