The Phantom of the Woods
In the quiet, superstitious town of Hollow's End, whispers circulate about a boy who lives deep in the woods-a boy cursed with half the face of a skeleton, feared by all who dare to speak his name. The townspeople warn that the forest is haunted, urging everyone to stay far from its shadowy borders. Lily, a daring 19-year-old who has never believed in old tales, sneaks into the woods one night, driven by her unshakable curiosity. There, she meets Kael, a mysterious and brooding figure whose life has been marred by a curse that forced him into isolation. Kael, now 23, lives alone in a secluded cabin, hiding behind a mask that conceals the skeletal half of his face. To his surprise, Lily isn't frightened by his appearance-she sees past the curse to the man he truly is. As the two grow closer, their bond begins to challenge the very beliefs that have kept Kael isolated for years. But the curse that haunts Kael runs deeper than anyone in the town knows. As Lily delves into the mystery of what really happened to Kael, she discovers that the curse isn't just about his appearance-it's tied to a dark secret that could destroy them both. In The Phantom of the Woods, Lily and Kael must face the unknown together, unearthing the truth behind the curse and testing whether love can break through the barriers of fear and isolation. Their journey leads them into the heart of the forest's darkness, where secrets, danger, and the very essence of Kael's humanity are at stake.Complete

Haunted By The Night (rewrite beginning chapters)

Weeping willows, evergreen and grapevines engulfed the land of secrets. Never to be lurked. Never to be articulated. Huntsman, wrongdoers and trekkers that have ever laid foot on that soil, have evanesced from life. Vanishing into thin air to never be seen again. But It wasn't until one sinister night a idiosyncratic, naive girl runs away. Not knowing the dangers that might follow. Not knowing the dark shadow that might corrupt her. This is a mafia romance about a runaway and a gang leader.

The Downfall of the Kingdom
Far away in a kingdom, a battle that had been going on for many generations had finally been won against an ancient evil. The darkness in the kingdom had been banished into the depths of a forest, never to be released again. Eighteen years later, a family feud ignites events that will set in motion the rise of the darkness and immortals to bring about the downfall of the kingdom. This story was written fourteen years ago by a young boy and remained locked away. Stumbling upon this story, I felt that it would be a wonderful opportunity to share it as it is, unedited, to conserve the imagination and ideas of a young boy bringing life to a faraway time. The format and language come second to the storytelling inspired by countless myths and legends.Complete

She'd pretend to fight Lycans, knocking out their massive teeth one by one. She'd stand atop rocks and throw her axe at the trees, pretending they were wood nymphs come to steal her away.
