Corrin Weatherly is down on her luck and in desperate need of a job to get by. Seeing an advert for a babysitting position, it seems to be just the thing to get her back on her feet. Her best friend isn't too sure, after all paying that much an hour? There's got to be a catch right?
Corrin doesn't have much of a choice, so sends off her application and is thrilled to be offered an interview. Sure, the family seems a little eccentric but everyone has their quirks.
It's only when Corrin begins to babysit the twins does she start to realise that eccentric doesn't even start to cover it. How's she supposed to care for kids who can grow trees in the living room, summon animals at the drop of a hat and cause waterfalls in the bathroom?

The nanny
It seems like a dream come true for Sam. A big house, that she can stay in rent free, no living expenses including food, a nice environment with a huge garden and a pretty good salary. (Never mind the fact that her boss isn't all too bad to look at.) And all she has to do is take care of an adorable, well spoken seven year old girl and teach her about various subjects. At least, that's what the advert said. Sam quickly gets faced with what her mother has always said: if things seem too good to be true, they probably are. Thrown into the deep end with no help from anyone, Sam needs to learn, and rather quickly, how to take care of a child who's acting out and wants her gone. Especially when she starts taking a liking to the striking man with an apparent attention deficit wherever his daughter is concerned. And just when she thinks it's all too much, her past crashes back into her life in an entirely unexpected way. How will she deal with all of these adversities?

'If you are reading this then you are Blissfully Unaware of what is Creeping right behind you.'- Unknown. ************************************ "I am not afraid." She said to herself trying to calm her heartbeats. She stood right in front of the dusty glass door. Placing both her hands on it she tried to push the door. For the split of a second she saw a young lady, her hands and face covered in blood, impatiently banging on the door. The wind around her went crazy. She heard random whispers in her head. Rhea was unable to focus on anything around her but the lady. The lady was saying something but for Rhea it felt like some random lips movement. She was scared out of her wits. Then suddenly everything went dead silent. The lady vanished. The whispers and the wind stopped. But then Rhea saw light imprints of blood on the glass door under the dusty layer. ************************************ This book basically contains short horror stories of my own imagination. They may be a bit creepy and weird but that's how the book goes. These stories are short but scary. I hope you'll enjoy them. It's my first book ever so please support it.Abgeschlossene Geschichte

ROGUE REBORN - ONC 2023
**OPEN NOVELLA CONTEST SHORTLIST** Even if she is killed, she is never dead. ***** She'd spent many, many years in the same body, getting used to her quirks, her mannerisms, learning how to survive through the ages. Yet Josephine wakes up one night and realizes she's been asleep for a century: it's now 2023, and her last memory was being on a boat with friends back in 1923. As an immortal woman--a Reborn--she can never truly die, but if mortally wounded or killed, her body disintegrates, and her essence roams for one hundred years before it creates a new body to inhabit. If she slept for so long, it can only mean one thing: someone murdered her back on that boat, and now she needs to find out who and why. *** ONC entry based on prompt #2: "One night you woke from the dead. For you, you were gone mere seconds, for the world you were gone almost a century. How will you navigate this new world?"Abgeschlossene Geschichte
Cabin Fever - An Erotic Novel
Trapped in a luxurious mountain cabin during the worst blizzard in living memory with my sexy boss and her handsome husband, seven strangers (six girls, one boy, all of them hot), and an evil spirit that would see us all doomed - unless I could find a way to sate it. I decided to try sex. It's the only thing I know that will truly satisfy someone. I'm sure I could have brutally murdered the others or something. But this wasn't a bad horror movie - it was real life. You don't do bloody murder in real life - you try and work with what you've got. So sex it was. *** WATTYS 2016 WINNER HQ LOVE Category *** *** WATTPAD AFTER DARK Editors' Pick *** ------ Cabin Fever is the result of a challenge of sorts: write something outside your normal genres, write something... smutty. It's not just about the sex. It has romance, humor - and a bit of the paranormal to spice things up. Don't take it too seriously: it's meant to be sexy-fun, so just go with the flow and let the Cabin Fever take you... Love, FelixAbgeschlossene Geschichte
The Unordinary
Six high school students looks like anyone else acts like anyone else but are capable of things no one else is. They learnt from a young age no one that means NO ONE can know about their powers even their parents and other siblings. It brings out the true friends and those who just want to use you. In the end, what do you do when your closest friend betrays you? This is the story as they try to keep their biggest darkest secret of what they are capable of and as they discover they're not the only ones like them... I am not very good at trigger warnings before individual chapters but there is mention of blood, cold abuse and parents divorcing. (But read at your own risk in case I mention something else. I am working on rewriting this story and when I do there will be the trigger warnings in the correct places.) (small teaser.) No one sees me. I am a ghost. I brush against the wooden fence. No one will believe it was me who disappeared into a fence and appeared on the other side of school. I stare at my brother. He made eye contact with me, confirming my suspicions. We both saw it. Whoever that was is like us. "Did you just see that?" I ask "You're that person my brother and I saw," He says. Oh no... Why then? "Wait! You're-" Completed just editing. (Don't be too harsh please)Abgeschlossene Geschichte
