The trip is over. This ship is lost.
Is everyone out? Is everyone safe?
They have no idea. The authorities have left.
And so they must search. They must know. No one must suffer a fate in a watery grave.
With this in mind, deep into the belly of the beast they go.
This is a short story I've written in college. It is an experiment, a deviation from my comfort zone and undeniably different than what I typically write.
This short story isn't something I want to publish. It's an excercize; a short journey for me to write in a way that I traditionally don't.
At the core, this story is flawed by its predictable, cringey plot. It's me working with a modern style that's strange and foreign to me while I'm trying not to "Titanic" it at the same time. I would still love to know how folks feel about it in terms of style and diction. Enjoy a little desperation and a little love. Get out of it what you will.

My Life, My Alpha.......My Love
"Zachary." I snickered. He growled playfully as I laughed, dodging his attempt to grab me and took off running in a random direction. I ran with Zac right on my heels, until I turned a corner and ran into a hard chest. I prepared myself for a hard fall, when two muscular arms shot out, wrapping around my waist and crushing my body against theirs. "Hello, beautiful." The person said. I looked up to see a handsome boy, probably around seventeen also. His face looked oddly familiar and while trying to figure out why, I froze. His face was inching closer and closer to mine. I could feel his breath wash over my face as his lips was parted, only inches away from my face, eyes closing slightly, when suddenly a fierce growl shot out through the silence, that had my body tingling. In a flash I was out of the mysterious boy's hold and my hand instantly reached out to steady myself. I looked up to see Zac, pinning the boy by his throat, on a nearby wall. "Keep your filthy hands to yourself, she's MINE!!!!"He growled possessively. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- My name is Jessica Matthews, i'm 17 and i'm a werewolf..not only that but the alpha's daughter.My life was perfect, i had an amazing family which consisted of my parents, my older brother Jared and I, I had a wonderful bestfriend, Stacey and, even though he wasn't my mate, a perfect boyfriend, Dylan, or at least i thought so, until one night he does something unforgivable and my mate waltzes in as my knight in shining armor.

Run Away
I never thought he would do this. What happened to him? Goddammit, this is bullshit. I was stalked by my own best friend! This is a nightmare, even worse than nightmare. I'm so fucking stressed! "Surprise, babe!" he evil-smiled. "Tell me why are you doing this to me?!" I asked. "I see the future. Your future. I see you dating that dickhead. I tried to stop you but I have to act normal so you won't find out that I'm the creepy stranger you talked about and you won't know that I like you, my plan was a little bit messed up since you dated him. I failed to stop you. But now that I have both of you here, I can kill you easily," he explained. Did he just said "both of you"? Does that mean he kidnapped Austin? He's so messed up. I hate him. We've been best friends for 5 fucking years and now he's doing this to me? I swear he's mentally ill now. Ugh. "What do you mean both of us?" I asked. "Oh Claire, why don't you understand it? Didn't you saw anyone at the library? The place where Austin asked you to be his girlfriend?" he said. "No, I didn't go there," I said. "Well, let's take a look now, shall we?" he evil-smiled. ******** Hi guys, so this is my first story here. I don't think I'm a good writer so I apologize if this story doesn't make any sense or sounds really weird. At least I tried.Complete
The 'Groomed'
Completed!! -- I could hear him running behind me. "HELP!" I started to scream the words repeatedly. I felt like I was the stupid, helpless girl in a horror film. I ran right into a fence and fell down. I got back up and turned around. Blake was right there. He pinned me up against the wood. "You are so stupid!" He chuckled. He grabbed a bottle of some sort and smiled. "Nighty night." He whispered. He sprayed the substance all over me until I blacked out. -- 16 year old Cathy moves from a small Rhode Island town to the big Austin, Texas.

Before It Struck Midnight. *COMPLETE*
Before I begin, I just want to say that this story does include some mature themes. I will also give out a warning a chapter prior to these scenes. Getting that out of the way, let's go onto the story description... *This book contains explicit content* *EXTRACT FROM THE BOOK* I stared at him, cooking and whistling, something that I could not do, or should I say, wasn't bothered to do. I decided to move away and to try and find an exit but I didn't even take one step back when I heard his voice. "Princess? Is that you?" I saw him raise his head before shooting his eyes onto me. The sudden gaze caused to heart to race while it froze my body as if I have turned into ice. I felt the fear engulf my body, eating me inside out. "You aren't scared of me... Are you?" he asked me, I sensed the envy in his voice. That mixed with his harsh tone caused a wave of goosebumps to course through my body. I wanted to begin by asking him where was I? Why was I here? Why was he here... I wanted to ask him, but I couldn't, the fear was just all too much for me. "Come on... Speak to me... Ask me..." he began. "Ask me 'why am I here' and all of that crap... Entertain me with your fear." I saw him slowly gripping a knife that was on the countertop, with his eyes still on mine. The sides of his mouth slowly began tilting upwards. All the bitterness and the cold, it was all so visible in his eyes. I looked at him in horror, noticing him as he took his first steps towards me. "Talk to me... Because this might be the only time you will ever be able to talk, " he said this sentence in such a calm tone, it caused me once again to shiver with goosebumps. "W-what do you mean...". Never in my life have I stuttered, until then.Complete
-Unhealthy Obsession-
Warning! This story contains sensitive topics. ** I looked into his dark eyes and saw, what I once naïvely thought, was innocence. ** "Please!" she cried, curling into herself and holding her arms to her chest. "I want to go home! I haven't done anything to you! Let me go please!" Anger washed over me. What was she not understanding? "Mia!" I snapped, holding her neck tighter, staring down into her watery brown eyes. "You can't leave, I won't let you! I can't lose you! And you have done something. You've stolen my heart." I felt a grin play on my lips as I leaned more onto her. "and for that, baby, you've done everything." [COMPLETE]✅ (This book will be rewritten at some point!)Complete

Glint and Precurse
Have you ever gotten the feeling that everything you do is for nothing? Do you feel that no matter how hard you try, the world will always move on without you, whether you like it or not? Is it difficult to keep up in this current of events everyone else calls existence? Yeah... me neither... What? Do I have to put a meaningful and insightful description of the story? This is MY story, and I can do whatever the hell I want! It's funny how people just expect me to do things for them... Oh, you still aren't satisfied? If you are spending so much time reading this meaningless book description, why haven't you already started reading it? This is the kind of thing that bothers me about readers! They want people like me to practically spoil the entire story for them before they read it! Now, what it the point in that? So, taking into consideration the previous message, if you are still dying to get a taste of what this story revolves around, I might as well tell you. You have been oh-so-patient by reading all of this jibber-jabber that it would only be disrespectful for me not to give you a little information! Well... looks like I am just a really disrespectful person.Complete

EDIT (2023) I wrote this book at the age of 13... there is A LOT of grammar mistakes and things are not well thought out... I will not be changing them. I decided to keep the book up to look at how I've improved over the years. I'm 23 now. :) Giggle with me at my mistakes. <<Part from the book>> "If only you listened to me Scarlett." Drake then punches me in the gut, it's the same place he kicked me. I cough up blood and I feel like I have to puke, but I have nothing in my stomach to throw up. He bends down so he's eye level with me, and he tilts my chin so I'm looking into his cruel eyes. "I want you to scream." He slithers.Complete
