The year is 1140 and civil war rages through England like wildfire. The Anarchy has brought death, despair, and terror to the masses, and to teen farm-hand Rosamund, it seems as if God and all his angels must be sleeping.
After their village is sacked and their families are ruthlessly slaughtered, Rosamund, Hereward, and Hilda flee for their lives into the black heart of the night-time marshes, but is the tale of a ravenous evil lurking beneath the mere-water just an old fishwives tale, or are they running headlong into an even graver danger?All Rights Reserved

Pirates of the Caribbean: Scarlet Tides by Braints

In the heart of the Caribbean, where the waters shimmer under the ominous glow of the setting sun, a dark legend is whispered among sailors-the Scarlet Tides. The legend speaks of a mysterious sea witch who commands a crew of the damned, manipulating the tides to pull ships into the depths where their souls are claimed. No ship that sails these cursed waters returns, and the few who have survived carry tales of monstrous creatures lurking beneath the waves and an enchantress whose eyes can summon the dead. When Captain Liora Blackwell, a fearless pirate known for her unrelenting quest for treasure, stumbles upon an ancient map leading to the lost city of Maravique, she believes her fortune is finally within reach. The map promises treasures beyond imagination but also bears a warning-the city is cursed by the Scarlet Tides, and no living soul can claim its riches without facing the wrath of the sea witch. Obsessed with her ambition, Liora ignores the warnings and sets sail with her crew. But the deeper they venture into the cursed waters, the more reality warps. Shadows move beneath the waves, the crew begins to unravel, and the ship is stalked by supernatural forces. Among them is the sea witch, Serafina, a woman whose beauty is a mask for her ancient hunger, her true form monstrous, lurking in the dark abyss of the sea. As the cursed tides rise, Liora will have to face not only the horrors of the deep but the ghosts of her own past. The sea witch has her own agenda, and Liora's fate may be tied to a secret buried long ago-one that could doom them all.

LOT'S MOUNTAIN by NikkiEarly2

Magic, monsters, mayhem ... and high school. What could go wrong? Everything! I'm a freak, but I've got the God-given sense to know to keep it a secret that I can use magic to lose some things and to find other things. As magic goes, it totally sucks, especially since I can't control it. I couldn't use it to find my brother and save him from a serial killer. So what good is it that I can lose a shoe and find a hubcap? Some people do think I'm extra special, though. I don't know how they found out about me, but the Stone Men and their Black Dogs are after me every chance they get. It's their job to keep magic a secret and make you think the world is normal. The Glass Man's out to get me, too. He's just out to make everybody his psycho slave. There's a war coming between Stone and Glass, and I'm right in the middle. But this war isn't just about hidden magic and humans. When you're a little kid, your parents tell you that there isn't any such thing as monsters. Well, they're lying. Some monsters want to offer you a deal, and some, well, some just might end up your best friend. Others, they just want to eat you. Right now, I'm dodging homework and things trying to turn me into lunch. I'm gonna find a way out of this war and save my friends... or die trying--

✧The Earthe of the Elves✧ by StoriesbyAvery

"Upstairs!" I hear a yell and pounding footsteps. I crawl out of the window until I'm hanging from my hands. I take a breath. I let go. ~ Living in a small town with a single mother, Mia Glenn never expected anything special to come of her life. She never thought she would go on an adventure as harrowing as the stories she read. Until one day she narrowly avoids being kidnapped, discovering in the same day a whole new universe that she is supposedly a part of. As she navigates the elven world of Earthe with the help of a particularly attractive elf boy, she learns secrets about her identity and her father's, of whom she believed had ditched her and her mom at an early age. Soon Mia discovers that peace isn't as easy as it seems, and while Earthe may be beautiful, there are dark parts that are creeping back to the light. Even in a world of perfect beings such as elves, lies can be spun as precisely as an arrow can pierce a target, and evil can sneak up on you when you least expect it. Mia is used to reading about this kind of stuff, not living it. Safe to say she finds herself in one hell of an adventure. - - TW: if you need a tw for fighting, violence, weapons, blood, death, etc. I would read with caution (I don't get into any gory details, but there are scenes w/ this) I will put tw's for the more violent scenes.

The High School Prison - Enter the School [Complete] by DJMidnight17

This is a story that might get graphic in gore and sexual intercourses so this is your first and final warning. So read to your own demise. Disclaimer I do not own the characters they belong to the rightful owner, Deep-Sea Prisoner. It has been years upon years after the attack of the flame world and everything has calmed down..... well not for Yosafire at least. She has been bullied and verbally harassed by the rest by the other villagers. They blamed and neglect her for almost- well everything that goes wrong, resulting her to become distance and scared of telling everyone the dark and dreadful feeling that's nagging at the back of her instincts. What the village didn't realize they would lose a lot more than the one little demon they bullied so much to a point of breaking... Captured and placed in a school... not just a simple school.... a school full of hatred and torture.... survival of the fittest rule applies to such horrible place far from the protection of such powers.
