The island seems to be the perfect home for the many children that live there. It has forests and marshes, hills and valleys, caves and beaches, cliffs and meadows. They don't know any other home, anyway. No one remembers their "Befores": the things that happened before they woke up washed ashore on the island with a crate of supplies, and one special item in a pouch around their neck.

The children build shelters, take care of themselves and the others, and live a happy life, day to day. Only a few things change: new kids wash up on the shores each year, and the Leavings: in the year leading up to a child turning 16, they build a raft. On the eve of their 16th birthday, they hang up their items in the branches of the After Tree, and sail away into the horizon, never to be seen on the island again. So many questions remain: Who are these children, and why are they here?All Rights Reserved

Lost by MissaCox1

(COMPLETED) I find myself washed up on the shores of an island with no memories at all. Strangely, items litter the beach. Coins, hairpins, watches, thimbles. The island is where all lost items go. I find other amnesiacs just like me, all stuck on the lost island. Who made this place? Will we ever get our memories back? Will we ever go home? Why are we here in the first place? Why are we...lost?

the dark light by magic_is_somewhere

My life was supposed to be normal. You're born, raised by good parents, go to school, make friends, graduate, get a job. You create fun memories, find the love of your life, get married, start a family, grow old, and eventually, you breathe your last. That's what life was supposed to be like for me. But instead, my life turned out to be the opposite of normal. And so it was for Chiara, Blake, Jake, Rowan, Nova, and Dijon. To tell our story, we need to go all the way back to the beginning. Before we were even born. It all started 30 years ago. April 5, 2003. a class got into an accident and when the survivors woke up, they realized something was wrong. they got powers , they got taken by scientist who started calling them the hollows. It took almost a month before they were rescued by Mr. Knight, they got taken to a secret place where they could live peacefully. that's a lie, one of the students wanted revenge and not stay hidden, so the group seperated. Every year another person got powers, and so, the search continued. But there was always one question on mr. Knight mind: Why 12 children the first time, and only one per year after that? And one thing was for sure: whenever someone gained powers, they had to give something up in return. It was never a choice. It was just the way it was. So, now that I've explained a bit about how this all started, let's fast forward to the present. It's now 2033. Mr. Knight has found 19 children, and Mr. Douglas, the leader of the other group, has found 10. That means... the 30th child is out there somewhere. Who will it be? And one more thing before I go-welcome to the world of Dark Light.

Secrets, Deals and Lies by secretsdealsandlies

Remiah Shantello. Aged 15. No mum no siblings. She lives on the other side of an island with her father (which she doesn’t even see or talk to) while the whole other society lives on the other side of the island. After being so lonely and cooped up in her giant house with not one trustworthy person to talk to she finally decides to run all the way to the other side of the island and towards a real society or, well, trouble. Away from the chaos at home; away from her father Nick – away from everything... or so she thinks. No matter where she goes she cannot be left alone. The men in black are after her and the only people who she can now trust are Jack and Billy – two boys who obviously hate each other’s guts, but neither can stay away from Remiah.

REMINISCENT by Lil_oh_me

I frowned, thrown off "Do i...remember?" "Do you remember..." she starts but her voice falters. She glances down at the sand, biting her lip debating whether to even continue. She then takes a shaky breath and finally looks up. Eyes locking with mine " do you even remember how you got it?" Her question hits me like a slap. I open my mouth, then close it, my brows furrowing as I force my brain to rewind. How did I get it? Nothing. Not a single clear memory. She steps closer, her voice trembling, but the edge of anger sharpening her words. "Or when? Or where? Or for what reason? Or what it even means?!" I flinch at her tone, but I can't answer her. I try. God, I try.. I look down at the sand beneath my feet, forcing myself to dig through every memory, every hazy night out, every stupid decision I might've made-but nothing. Not a single moment of how I got it surfaced. I let out a frustrated breath and rake a hand through my hair, feeling the panic rise like bile in my throat. When I finally lift my head to speak, Ashley's already staring at me, and I can tell-she knows my answer before I say a word. "You don't remember," she says softly, nodding like she expected it all along. __________________________________________ Crazy thing happened...Three years ago, a tragic accident left Ashley scarred and shattered. Aiden survived, but when he woke from a year-long coma, every memory of the girl he loved was gone. Now, Ashley clings to the hope he'll remember-But as time slips through her fingers, the question haunts her-will she lose him all over again? And Aiden... will he ever remember in time? ........ ⚠ warning ⚠ : Mature language, Mental health challenges, Annoying scenes, Heart breaking moments...
