As I'm climbing up this here tree, I'm pretty grateful that Ma let me wear pants. Instead of a dress. I don't think I could climb very well in a dress. Or even climb at all!

I reach a spot near around the middle of the tree and sit on a strong study branch. As I take in the woods 'round me I see somethin'. There's a clearin' over yonder in the woods. And in that there clearin', was a ginormous field of sunflowers!

I couldn't believe my eye! They were oh, so, pretty. I decide I'm gonna pick a dozen, for Ma and Charlotte. They'd be so surprised and happy!

As I'm scurryin' down I feel a raindrop plop down on my nose. Then another and another... Then the sky breaks out into a rain storm! I'm almost to the bottom of the tree here, when I'm being blinded by a flash of yellow light. Then there's a rather loud boom that follows it.

I jump in surprise, forgettin' for a moment to late, that I'm on a tree. I lose my footin' and slip. I shreak as I begin tumblin' down to the earth below me.

---------------

This story, that takes place from Charlotte's P.O.V., is about how Charlotte and her family after a tragic accident occurs.

Will it tear apart the relationship of, not only her family, but her friends and everyone close to her?

Or will she form a bond stronger than ever as she relies on the the people that care the most?

Saving Caroline by SarLynne

Caroline walks past me brushing her cold hand over my shoulder. Caroline Sky is tall, with blonde hair that reaches to the middle of her back. She glances at me; tears in her stunning sky blue eyes. She almost never cries. The only time I saw her cry was when her grandma died. Riley's eyes boar into the side of my head. "What?" I whisper over the sad funeral music. "Caroline, looks different." She says. "Well wouldn't you look different if your family died? her hair is down also." I say. ••• After the accident Caroline wasn't the same. I didn't know if it was because she had no one left but me, or if her head hitting the window of the car damaged her brain. Whatever it is I need to save her. She was broken, and I couldn't fix her. ••••••• *First book* *Edited*

KILLED by firelordstorm

My best friend's body lies on the wooden floor, her head help up by the rope that is tied around her slender neck, which is secured to the ceiling. Blood still pools out of a wound in her abdomen, creating a vivid red puddle on the cedar planks. Sara's gray eyes are wide open and glazed over slightly, her light hair pulled into a messy side ponytail. When my brain fully registers these details, my hands drop away from my face, I turn on my heel, and then I burst into an adrenaline-filled sprint out the door. I take the steps two at a time, and when my feet hit the snow covered earth, I take off again, running and running as fast as I can, feeling not free, but full of unfamiliar fear. When I tear into the house, I find my mom sitting on the couch, staring at our Christmas tree with a soft smile on her face and a cup of coffee in her left hand, steam swirling up into the air in an intricate and beautiful pattern that only I can see. "Tess? Are you alright?" She's at my side the instant she sees my face, the coffee mug crashing to the floor and shattering to a million pieces, the shards representing my heart. "Call 911", I manage, my shoulders shaking. "Sara's dead." ------- Christmas was never supposed to start like this. My father wasn't supposed to come back, and my best friend shouldn't have been murdered. Now I'm wondering: What have I gotten myself into?

REAP by EelyakKAY133

"Ahhhhh what did I just do?!" I screamed. This question wasn't just about the mirror, it was about tonight, and frankly this whole crush on Oliver. It was ridiculous, absurd, unorthodox, and worst of all, it felt like a part of my heart had been ripped out. I grabbed a small broom and dust-pan, kneeling down and sweeping up the glass-covered floor. And as I was walking to put the shards in the garbage, I took one last look at myself in the broken shards. I made eye contact with my mirrored image, and I swore a solemn and silent oath to myself, "Never again." The forming of those words from my mouth had created a newfound feeling of freedom. A numbing sensation that prevented my emotions from surfacing. I had promised myself to never be vulnerable like that ever again. ******* What if the food chain turned on us? This is the question that defined the life of teenage protagonist: Amara Finley and her best friend: Oliver Macleod. All plant-life had come to life in a supernatural phenomenon that everyone had begun to call the "Bloom", and for some strange reason the plants began to attack humans. Their life and their world is dominated by plants, and with what little hope humanity had left, they fight with the winged brigade in hopes to rescue the world. Why did this happen? What caused the plants to go ballistic on humans? Is the brigade all that it appears? Will Oliver ever see her as more than a friend? ******* Oliver Macleod is in shock, and in grief. His loved one is brutally taken away from him. He doesn't know what to do with himself. Feelings of rage and sorrow transform into doubt and unbelief. The loss of this loved one is so prominent that it compels him to seek answers about their death. The more he looks, the less he finds. He begins to question if they truly are dead, or if it was all just one massive cover-up. When secrets are discovered and questions are answered he realizes that the brigade is not all that it seems.

I am the Queen of the Dark by CalistaSalsabila

This world is huge and beautiful. Yet, it also has so many mystery in it. Still, I hate this world. For me, it's just a full pile of trash. Thousands of fake words exist in this world. Not just this world, but also the other worlds. Including mine. Oh what a piece of trash. So many hypocrites exist in this unpredictable huge galaxy. Like those people who supported you, then stabbed you from the back. Those who smiled this second, then spit out their bad words towards you in the next second. Those who were with you this minute, then dumped you like you're nothing, until your distance with them was like the Earth and the Moon, in the next minute. Those who protected you this hour, then tried to destroy you in the next hour. So...trash. What is family? They're nothing but the annoying people whom always tied me up to follow whatever they said. It's like I'm their pet, instead of their daughter who wished to be free. What is friend? They're no more than those who used you, then dumped you when you're no longer needed in this world. It's all Hell. Hell I say. I don't need family! Nor friends! Or even love, or anything in this awful place. I just wanted to be alone. Alone and free. Yes, your eyes were not wrong! I'm so sick, that I wanted to be all by myself for the rest of my life. Yet, why...is it so painful..to see them go? ***** She is pretty. With her glowing silver hair, she looked like the Princess who was blessed by the Moonlight. Her skin is as white as snow, yet pale like the corpses. Her eyes...are as red as blood. She fell to our world along with the falling meteor. She saw the beautiful earth along with the downfall of her kingdom. And when she started to stand on her own feet, she could never say the word 'Mom' and 'Dad' anymore. Born in the darkness, she came to destroy the peaceful Earth, along with all the living beings in it. But as time passed, as she met new people, it all began to change.

SAM by SabrinaBiffi

The land they crossed was beautiful, the land was not flat but sloped into valleys and hills peppered with trees that gave shade and small streams, as they moved Sam spoke to him about the dry season, details of the land and where water could be found, and anything she thought would interest the man. Running out of things to say she turned to him and asked, " any questions?" " not regarding the land, would you mind answering a few personal ones?" Bryan asked Sam shook her head, "yes, I mind, I don't particularly like it, no offense." "None taken, just curious to know why you want to be mistaken for a boy." Sam reigned in her horse, and waited until he did the same. She pulled one leg out of the stirrup and placed it over the horn where she rested her elbow on her knee and placed her face on her hand, "think about this," she said nudging her horse so that she almost touched the man, "would we be riding here,like this, alone, if I looked like Cecile? All grace and delicacy?" Sam's eyebrows rose and an impish smile spread on her face as she watched Bryan's face change as her words sunk, and he pulled back. I wrote this story in the nineties, for my mother who was an avid romance reader and Barbara Cartland follower, she had been diagnosed with lung cancer and there wasn't much to do. Since we lived far apart I wrote this and other stories to entertain her and show my love. She was a brave woman who ventured from her motherland, Germany and married a man from Peru which language she did not even speak. I based most of my stories in her circumstances of not fitting in, she went to a country where she knew no one, and there she stayed for the love of one man.

It Wasn't Love ✔️ by depressedn0nce

"Fuck." He whispers into my neck, sending a thrill of excitement through my body. His lips still smothered kisses over my neck and his hands roamed my body, starting at my chest, going down to my stomach. Caressing my soft skin, his thumb trailed circles on my groin before slightly slipping into the waistband of my jeans. My breath catches in my throat as I pull at the hoodie that covered his chiselled body. Understanding, Jacob pulls it off in one swift movement before attaching his lips back on my neck. Sucking and biting it before flicking his tongue over the sore spot. A quiet moan leaves my mouth and I clasp my hand over it, denying any noise to escape. "You drive me fucking crazy, Aria." ---------------------------- Aria Bailey finds it hard to fit in. Her parents are always busy and never have time for her.

The Blood We Shed by leovaldezshotstuff

Daisy Smart is just a normal girl...right? This book is based off of me (Daisy) and my childhood friend group. It's about a small group of kids classified as "Starbearers" and they have that identity, because they all have a star mark on a random part of the body. There is a group called "Starhunters" looking for kids all over the USA with it, because the star mark means they have a secret superpower that they have to discover on their own. If they are found, then they are captured and taken to a place where they suffer until they die. Daisy is ten (she gradually gets older) and from Lexington, Kentucky. She lives with her little brother, Aiden Smart, and her parents. Her parents favor Aiden more and ignore their daughter's mental health needs. One day, Daisy is not able to control her actions, leading to her family's deaths. She runs away and meets a seven year old named Maya, who was abandoned as a baby due to her mark. Maya is very mature for her age and helps Daisy. Maya tells her about the star mark and Daisy discovers it on her back. Maya tells her everything about the Starhunters and Starbearers, making Daisy very angry and upset. Daisy promises Maya that she will change this fucked up world, but will she? (I want to make a sequel for this, but idk what to write about in that yet. That's where everyone in my childhood friend group will be in. In this one, there's only half of them.)

Cold Water by adaline_meadows

[BWWM] I was only twelve years old when the world turned cold. The day my mom died in that car accident, I felt like someone had dumped a bucket of ice water over my heart. My dad, who had always been my hero, suddenly became a stranger, filled with rage and blame. He couldn't see that I was hurting, too; he only saw me as a reminder of his loss. The accusations cut deep. He said it was my fault for being there, for not doing something to save her. For being the reason she was in the car in the first place. In the years that followed, things only got worse. The abuse started gradually-a harsh word here, a shove there-but it escalated, leaving scars that I carried long after the physical pain faded. I was drowning in my own despair, struggling to keep my head above water while my father's anger raged like a storm around me. I only had a break from his anger when I started living with Aunt Dina-my mom's older sister. Well, that was because she found me nearly dead on my bed after I took a dozen pills. I was tired of living. I had hit rock bottom. The harsh whispers that followed me around and the stares at school. I pretended not to notice, like it didn't bother me. But it did. I was alone. Then came Athalia, a ray of sunshine cutting through my darkness. With her, I felt something I hadn't felt in years-happiness. She became my light through the darkness and my lifeline. ••••••••••• ● Warnings ⚠️ ~ Mention of suicide ~ Anxiety attacks ~ Rape attempt ~ Mention of self-harm ~ Depression
