Written for the Mystery Party hosted by @earnestycommunity

Mystery writer Sebastian Chase had always felt that there was something wrong with him.  It wasn't because he'd lost most of his memories in an accident. It wasn't because he wasn't even sure if Sebastian Chase was really his name, either. It was more because of that nagging feeling at the pit of his stomach that told him he didn't belong. Not in this place and time. 
When a mysterious man leaves an old pocket watch in his possession, Sebastian gets sucked into the intrigues of a bygone era and is forced to face the demons of his past. A past that takes him back to 1920's Beachcastle where he must track down the saboteur who took everything away from him and sent him almost a hundred years into the future.

England, 1899. It had been six years since Eloise had last set foot in Hogwarts, something she hadn't planned to do again- but with new threats on the horizon and someone greedy for her power, she finds herself forced to revisit the old castle. Tormented by Ancient Magic, ever a curse to her existence, it's her task to fight a new battle and uncover long hidden secrets in the process. Sebastian and Eloise drifted apart in their sixth year, when she was no longer able to keep him from pursuing the Dark Arts and the cure he so desperately seeks. Betrayed and bitter, she wants nothing to do with him once their paths cross again-but with danger and a darkness of her own looming over her head, she might have to get used to having him around again. _________________________________________ A SebastianxFMC fanfiction set 8 years after the end of Hogwarts Legacy.

The Follower by LateNightStories12
10 parts Complete
Life has evolved and more technologies appeared. The internet is the main brain of these technologies, but that doesn't mean that it's safe. It is said that we are only using 10% to 15% of the entire internet, so where is the left of it that's the question. That's not the main point the point is how people could use the internet. Some could use it for social life, some could use it for doing research and some could use it to track you down and know every single move you do. They could hear everything, know your next destination. Maybe now you're being followed and tracked down by someone but you just don't know. Just as the characters in the story. The story is based on possible events that could occur in these days. Nobody knows what's out there on the internet, and what's in people's minds. Beware the internet, beware of the people around you, beware of the people you give trust to, beware of the mysterious follower that stalks you that is obsessed with you without you knowing. * Story chapters will be published one by one as a tv series to make the reading part easier and give more excitement to what's coming* Thanks for reading.
