During the midst of WWII, a 14 year-old French-African Jewish girl named Sabine escapes the French concentration camp, Natzweiler-Struthof. While she's outrunning the Nazis close on her heels, she stumbles across a magical box of matches that transports her across the war. 

From war-strewn battlefields to places that look all too familiar, the matches teach Sabine to reignite the fire within her to save the ones she left behind.

Tulips in Her Hand by ellieerose_

(Currently Editing) Poland, 1942. When Celina Rudaski took the evening train to Warsaw, she did not expect to return responsible for the lives of two Jews. Then again, she did not expect her father to be whisked away in the middle of the night by soldiers, nor did she expect her house to become swallowed by flames of fiery hatred. Yet it all happened in the matter of twenty-four hours. A stubborn, introverted fifteen year old girl, Celina refuses to believe the many stories of the horrific genocide against the Jews, often turning a blind eye to anything that reminds her of the war. But when she unwittingly promises to hide two Jews in a home she does not have, Celina must journey across Europe with these strangers in search of lady who might be able to rescue them. They are filthy, they are broken, and Celina cannot seem to control the hatred burning inside her. Together they travel town to town, witnessing each cities own branch of horrors, even hiding in basements of strangers. In ways painfully unimaginable to Celina, these two Jews affect her life in the deepest of ways. As they dodge bullets, stumble upon an injured enemy pilot, and attempt to escape the hands of the Germans naming them fugitives, Celina must learn to face what she has been too terrified of her entire life. ***Edited by the lovely @jgfairytales

Free Minds by DiverseLiterati

A 5x Wattpad Featured Novel✨! Consider this: You make a life altering decision not too long ago that you reconsider everyday and as if that isn't enough torture, it has the nerve to violently dangle two other decisions before your eyes. Want to guess the first? Well, the first decision is a step in the right direction but with highly probable danger to you and colossal doom to everyone else. And the other? The other is the best way to play it safe...until definite danger to you and colossal doom to everyone else. This is what Beth has to face after what appears to be a memorable night for the school of Zavlon Academia, morphs into a nightmare etched in the minds of the whole student body. Obviously, it's not easy. Especially when she's not only supposed to save, but unite with the other lucky few who manage to escape the incident. The very people who either contributed to or ignored the treatment she received as the 'other' Zavolonian. Particularly the enigma of a boy she's particularly torn as to whether to like or detest, to trust or suspect. Whichever decision isn't going to change one thing though; the lurking evil that's cutting corners, coming for the ones who got away. Fast. Ready or not.

Forgotten (2018 Open Novella Contest/LoT Fanfic) by 1Sunshine5

Jasmine has a secret-one that's caused various government agencies to come after her since the age of 12. With each passing day, they're closer and closer to meeting their goal: capturing or killing her. But, surprisingly enough, that's currently the least of her worries. One day a portal hidden in her closet transports her to the world of her favorite TV show, DC's Legends of Tomorrow, where she learns that not only do her favorite fictional characters exist, but she needs to join them. In order to stop the multiverse from being destroyed once and for all, she needs to help them stop herself; or, more accurately, the Earth-1 version of herself. Should be easy enough, right? Will this teenage girl be able to stop the world from suffering under her evil doppelgänger's reign, or will she collapse under the pressure and be forever forgotten? *** Entry for "Open Novella Contest" -Round 1 Shortlist -Round 2 Shortlist -20K Milestone

Over the Rainbow by SteveJBWO

This started as an entry for the Open Novella Contest, 2022. Unfortunately, I was having some medical difficulties (which I won't bore you with) and felt I needed to drop out after the first deadline. Shortly after taking up the story again, I realized that I was writing the same characters as those in my previous entry (ONC 2020), Thirteen Points of Light. So I did some quick editing and continued the story of Sarah and her box of magic matches. I'm trying really hard to make this a stand-alone story, but because I know the original story so well, I'm not entirely sure this one stands by itself. If you haven't yet, you may want to start with Thirteen Points and read them together as a single story. The story (this time around): Jared and Crystal's relationship is getting rocky. Just how rocky? They'll find out when Sarah enters their lives with her stories of travels through time and space, dreams, nightmares and her desire to get home. Please, enjoy.

Stolen Moments by AvatarAshdel

Transported hundreds of years in the future, Jasmine Sharpe must learn to live, and cope, in a world vastly different from the time she left. Aliens, Enterprise, and an organization called Starfleet are now the new constants in her life. With something growing inside her and danger on the horizon will Jasmine even want to survive? LONG LISTER IN THE OPEN NOVELLA CONTEST 2019! A/n This story does not strictly take place in the timeline of Star Trek:The Original Series or the recent movie reboots. Occurrences from both may be referenced. Whether you prefer to picture the original cast and practical effects, or the new actors with CGI, or some combination of the two, I hope you enjoy the story. This is just a simple fan fiction written for the Open Novella Contest 2019. If you see this story anywhere besides Wattpad please make me aware. This is the only place I post stories. I don't have multiple accounts on this site, so this is the only profile this story should be posted on. Thank you, readers. I don't not own Star Trek or its characters.

Does he take her to a concentration camp or kill her? Or does he help her escape to freedom? Naomi Adler is an eighteen year old Jewish girl in the middle of an age of terror, the Holocaust. Her family has already been taken away, but by some sort of fortune, she was saved. Can she make it safely to America, as her family had planned, or will she be found out before then? Her world turns upside down when she meets David Lee who in 1918, WWI, was drafted into the United States Army, just like his father and brother. He was a driver, transporting men, food, and supplies when needed, risking his life to support them on the battlegrounds

Yamlok: The Realm Of The Dead by Nicental

⊰ The Wattys 2021 Shortlist ⊱ ⊰ Winner of the Wattpad India Awards 2020 Fantasy and Adventure ⊱ ; Two brave hearts emerged from the tragedy- one a saviour, the other a hero. ; 'I wish we're sent on another hunt,' she spoke, 'I simply can't wait to slay those sorry creatures.' Her face contorted with disgust. He chuckled and gently tugged her nose, 'All in good time, Anamika. The cosmos waits for everyone.' She was surprised, 'It does?' He nodded, 'Of course it does. How else would you explain the coexistence of so many souls?' 'I thought they just went on. The higher souls go to the Devlok and they forget about us.' He shook his head, 'No, they don't. Indeed, they stay there in the Devlok for some time but when they're done enjoying the fruit of their good deeds, they go back to the Prithvilok.' He paused, 'It's birth and death over and over again.' ; Join Anamika and Keval as they venture into the depths of war and death- from normal beings of the earth to the strongest of the two warring realms. Both felt worthless, both were broken, both were afraid. But worthlessness can be fought, brokenness can be mended, fears can be faced. They feared for themselves for the Heaven they were promised seemed lost, gone to waste. . . . #1 in Sunflower Awards 2.0 #2 in The Sapphire Awards
