The Ciguapa

This story is slightly different than my others in that it takes place in a modern setting as I wanted to show how folklore permeates across physical borders as well as through time, which is why it's still very much alive and playing a vital role in our present-day world. It's also different in that I use Spanish throughout the story to show that the characters are speaking both Spanish and English. I was partially inspired by my own experiences as the daughter of a Latina immigrant and the customs, traditions, and stories that my family brought with them from their home country. For those of you that don't know, a ciguapa is a popular figure of Dominican folklore. Descriptions and details about them vary, but generally, they are beautiful, elusive, humanoid creatures with backwards feet that live in forests of the Dominican mountains. The females are often described as dangerous to men who happen upon them, luring them to their deaths with their beauty, much like sirens and other female mythological creatures. Some of the other details I've included are based on a combination of folklore and one of the earliest stories written about ciguapas by Dominican author, Francisco Javier Angulo Guridi. Enjoy and as always, feedback is welcome and encouraged.

Her Favorite Book(Rewrite)
This is a redone, more realistic, more detailed, more writing experienced version of "Her Favorite Book" I wrote that story in 2021, I'm pretty sure, and I was less experienced than I was compared to now. Looking back at the story, I realized I could have offended certain people with my depictions of the abuse in the Rosa household, as well as her relationship with Charlie, and how she seems to not care as much about him as an older sibling, especially a protective one, would act. All of these problems are going to be fixed and all the chapters will be edited. I would also like to make it clear, I might change a couple things in the book itself, like, for example, I'm changing Alex(Ryder's younger brother) into a little girl who only speaks Spanish, and her name is Allie. Also, Ryders household life before Stella(Why his mom works so much, why his dad isn't in his life, etc) will be written in more detail than before. If I offended anyone in the original version of this story, I deeply apologize. Now, to those certain people that like the original story, I won't be taking it down, as it was and still is a big growing opportunity for my writing career as of now.Concluída![Mr. Regnante [Mafioso Book#1] (SAMPLE)](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/73056020-256-k964376.jpg)
Mr. Regnante [Mafioso Book#1] (SAMPLE)
*Heighest ranking 26th in Love, 1st in General Fiction, and 1st in Tragedy, as well as no#1 in mystery* When you're the most feared and powerful Italian Mafia Boss, you cannot have the world know of your existence or of any personal ties you may have. Otherwise bad things tend to happen, and this man learned that lesson the hard way. Now, he refuses to allow anyone close to him, much less get anywhere past his cold exterior. Their story wasn't meant to begin like it did. They weren't meant to meet the way they did. After all, she was only a university student and he was a ghost. Nonexistent, a rumor, a story you told your children at night. But when the most unforeseen circumstances cause their paths to cross, not once, not twice, but thrice--an encounter that ends with the vow of discretion and avoidance. They have no choice but to acknowledge they have to stay away before one of them gets hurt. Which is exactly what happens. This causes another encounter between the two, but this time with a promise of safety and security, because he owes her his life. *** "I say what I mean, and I do what I say." He assured in a low rumbling voice that had her transported back to older times. "And when I say I will keep you safe, believe me, that not even a hair on your head will be touched." (The full story can be found on the following link: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07NPSKL6W)Concluída

Head Maiden of Castle Dimitrescu
Elena started working for Castle Dimitrescu a few days ago. There is a tension between them that never seems to fade no matter how hard they try to ignore it. Jealousy fuels the two of them more often than not. This is their story of how Lady Dimitrescu and Elena came to be for the people that are interested in knowing This is an AU from the original RE8! The story spins off from Serving House Beneviento, so that is the original character is from. This is full of smut. I'm not even going to create warnings for chapters. Your warning is here. As always, I own none of the franchise. I just really love creating storiesConcluída
