	The sun glared down brightly, blinding Cilli as she scavenged for any remnants of food. She had a small pouch on her back that contained pieces and fragments of meat and bones. It wasn't much, but it would contribute to feeding her community. However, it just had to be the hottest day in all of the forest when it came her time.

	She scrounged along, panting from the heat. Although she would rather die than admit it, she was tired. A tired, hungry, and sore individual. She turned to her stick in the ground that served as a sundial, and suddenly her tired, slurred, steps turned into happy, trotting leaps. "TIME TO GO HOME!" she cheered, racing down the trail of rocks she left so she could remember the way home. 

The sun set slowly, but to Cilli, it felt as if she skipped to night. It was dark in no time, and only the sharp calls of birds and crickets could be heard from the dark forest surrounding her. No telling what was out there, and she really didn't want to find out. She started to panic as the trail of rocks became less visible from the darkness, but soon caught sight of a warm, welcoming light. Camp.

Rosin by _Tiny_Stories_

Ernwood Forest is home to winged people no bigger than a person's hand. Hidden away from the eyes of all humans, they live within the woodlands in three secrete tribes. Things can be tough in a world so much bigger than you, but the tribes are strong and protect the tiny people against all dangers. Even humans. Three tribes. Only three. That is the truth everyone knows. Until Rosin discovers that what she grew up believing doesn't even scratch the surface of what's out there in the forest. --- Rosin Magnolia hates people. The safe refuge everyone around her calls 'home' feels like a prison to her- so when she learns that there are other tribes somewhere in the forest, the decision to leave is hardly a choice. She makes it her mission to search the woodlands and bring the lost tribes together. But to do that, she'll have to leave her own tribe behind... which means leaving the people she loves most in the world. The forest is rife with predators. Beasts like humans; towering beasts that prowl through the trees without care or concern for the life they might trample. Leaving might just turn out to be a suicide mission. But Rosin soon begins to wonder who is in more danger- the tribes she is looking for, or the one she left behind... --- ⚠️ Mild fear/ violence warning (things get just a lil intense at parts) 💃 Ongoing story, I'll update whenever life lets me 💀 ❤️ To anyone who has read the other two stories set in this little world, this story includes a lot of information that was left out in the main storyline, mostly about Rosin (obviously lol) Wren and Aspen Hope you enjoy 💕💕 Please comment/vote/ let me know your thoughts!!!

TRAPPED - "Slavery Is Forever, Like It Or Not" by bear96945

Jenny and I were way ahead of the others. He was talking but I was thinking and ignored him. Instead I was enjoying the beauty of nature, looking at all the beautiful trees. Then suddenly one of the trees caught my attention. It was very big, tall, and beautiful. For some reason I was immediately attracted to it. I stopped in front of it and observed it. My boyfriend was still mumbling. I reached out and touched the tree. Then I realized there was writing on it. It looked like someone had carved it with a knife, but the letters looked too good to be made by someone carelessly. Unless they are an artist or something. PINTU KE DUNIA LAIN. "I wonder what's written there," Jenny said. "Entrance to another world," I said, staring at the words. "How do you know what's written there? What language is it?" "I don't know. Somehow, it seems familiar." "How?" "I don't know." I began to feel the words on the tree, then I began to trace the words with my finger. Jenny clung to me as usual. When I traced the last letter of the last word, suddenly a blue light appeared. The light grew into a large ring around the pitch black portal. Without understanding why, I moved towards it. Jenny tried to stop me but she was small and I was strong. We both disappeared from where we stood. Then fell to the ground in the forest. But this forest was different. This was definitely not America.

The family trip... by Realmadridanimeuser

The car hummed softly as it glided down the empty road, the fading sunlight painting the horizon in streaks of orange and purple. Inside, the cabin was a mix of light chatter and the faint buzz of the radio. The seats were warm from hours of sitting, and the scent of fast food wrappers mixed with pine air freshener lingered in the small, confined space. Dad's hands gripped the wheel, knuckles white with focus as he navigated the winding road leading deep into the forest. His salt-and-pepper hair caught the occasional gleam from the dashboard lights. Mom sat in the passenger seat, flipping through the map with a mix of curiosity and mild irritation, her voice soft but stern as she double-checked their route. In the backseat, Lily was slumped against the window, her breath fogging up the glass as she dozed off. Her stuffed animal-a well-loved bear with a patchy ear-rested in her lap. I sat beside her, feeling the hum of the road beneath us, trying to distract myself from the ache of the long drive by scrolling aimlessly on my phone, even though we were already out of signal range. The forest thickened as we drove deeper, the trees casting long, skeletal shadows over the dirt road. The air outside seemed different-cooler, quieter, almost unnervingly still. By the time we pulled up to the cabin, the world felt heavy, as though something unseen was watching us. The cabin itself looked like it had been forgotten by time-a small wooden structure with a slanted roof, faded green shutters, and a single dim light glowing on the porch. It felt isolated, perched in the middle of the forest like it had been dropped there by accident. The call of a crow and the occasional rustle of leaves. Then came the sound-a growl, low and guttural, slicing through the tranquility like a blade. It was faint at first, almost mistakable for an animal, but it carried an unnatural edge that made my stomach twist. The shadows in the forest seemed to shift, as if alive, and the

The Lost by _Tiny_Stories_

Scary stories of a place called a city are whispered throughout the tribes of the forest. Rumours of great grey forts with monstrous towers, sprawling walls... a place crawling with the monsters everyone so fears. Humans. --- Despite a slightly concerning size difference, Lyn and Lucius are the best of friends that share one common goal: find Lyn's family. A sudden twist in their lives thrusts the two of them into the sprawl of the human city, and achieving that goal suddenly seems impossible. When Lyn and Lucius cross paths with two strange girls, their priorities are tested. These strangers seem to be able to answer Lyn's biggest question: where does she come from? But a pressing problem must be resolved before they can show her. Who is Aspen, and why are these people so desperate to find him? --- This is the continuation to my other story called The Winged. It isn't a direct continuation, but I would recommend reading the other story first to avoid confusion. If you can suffer through it, you can find it on Search or by looking on my account :) Apologies for the incredible time it took me to write this crap. Hopefully you enjoy 🥲

Thin skin by Maccc_tastic

The only thing I knew as my ankles felt the wet, mourning hands of my heavy pain, beneath everything, a small part of me wanted to stay alive. There was a piece of my sore heart that yearned to remember what home felt like. I did not belong here in this darkness. If I didn't take this chance to learn who I was, who I could be, if I didn't choose to step forward, the haunting eyes chasing me I'd carry in my spine for the rest of my life. This answer, it's question lingered. Could I embrace what has hurt me most and let go of my hatred? The woman on fire, she was so beautiful in my unyielding stare. The sheer panic in my eyes swallowed by contorting rings of liquified gold. My answer? Yes. I was going home.

We Only Have The Night (Completed) by agcor85

Night Dantas wakes up in her apartment in London completely confused, terrified of sunlight and all the things that she used to love in the city. Before that she only remembered she was drunk in a pub and a voice of a man that promised her she would feel again and she would meet her tears she could never cry... Since then she can't face the sun, the artificial sounds and the combination of smells of the city got her disturbed, but she also felt capable of things she never could. Trying to run away from pain, Night went back to her roots in Portugal, to find out some peace. One year after Night came back to the portuguese village of Gondar, she keeps doomed to an existence of moonlight and a silent sadness where the woods are her night home. She only feels comfort there but she isn't the only sinister creature rounding the woods. With the help of her best friend Lili and José, the man madly in love with her, she will face her demons and will learn she can be loved even if she only has the night to offer. A first part of a romance with some science fiction in between (second part will start soon to be written). Hope you enjoy this story! :) (P.S.: This first part is finished and totally edited. I guess it's not perfect because English is not my first language, so any tip you dear readers want to add about any english errors you see in this story, it will be well appreciated :D )
