She had to get out of there.

As Ellie's feet carried her across the kitchen floor, she thought about how it would feel to be a ghost among trees, to blend in with the forest whose greenery she had been painting for years.

No one said a word. Ellie was certain she had never heard a silence so silent before.

~*~ 

When nine-year-old Ellie's world is turned upside down, she runs away to the forest. There, she finds a mysterious girl who offers the perfect distraction. After spending the afternoon with her new friend, the charm begins to wear off, and Ellie starts to realize that the secrets of this forest are much darker than her own.

Shadows of the Forsaken by BriebrieBuford

Ever since she could remember, the experiments had been part of her life. As a child, they were harmless-just puzzles and strange potions given to her by the woman she called Mother. Back then, she believed it was all a game, a way to make her smarter, stronger. But as she grew, the tests changed. They became invasive. Painful. Each experiment carved new scars into her skin and left her mind tangled in unanswered questions. The woman she once trusted had become a stranger, her warmth replaced by cold calculation. And then the voices started. A shadow lurked within her, whispering, clawing at the edges of her sanity. She wasn't alone in her own body-something else had been forced inside her. Something ancient. Something hungry. Now, she's free... but for how long? With the past chasing her and the monster inside threatening to take control, she's left with one question: Was she ever meant to survive, or was she only meant to become something else?

Too Much To Hide || EDITING by maybeyourdumb

"That means you're coming with me too then." He groans, bringing a hand up to his forehead and rubbing it in exasperation. "Excuse me?" My chest puffs up indignantly. "I don't think me or this baby will be going anywhere with you." "Ever since he was born, he and the mother have been in danger." He snarls as he comes up to my face. "And now that you've found him, your life is in equal danger." I blanch. Shaking my head, I slap down my impending terror. "Your point?" The foreboding man leans forward and switches his gaze between me and the slumbering child in my arms. "My point,"-he licks his lips-"is that I'm the only chance you have at surviving." ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Having his wife run away with his unborn son sets Adrian Raines off on a mission to find them.
