His Lily of The Valley by ladyamandak

When life suddenly changes from bad to worse the only thing to do is move forward in hopes that you will stumble upon better things. This is what Lily tells her children when their lives are turned upside down. Leaving behind a life of turmoil and abuse they journey west. What Lily finds is a community who take in her and her children as if they always belonged. What she doesn't expect is the man that shows up one day and changes her life all over again. Will he be a good man or will he bring back her worst nightmares? I have been slowly updating when I can. So the story has changed here and there. I feel it still needs somethings, but I don't want to make too many changes to the chapters I have already published without some feed back. Please vote or leave comment to let me know what you think...Thank you!

A Slayer With Wings by thestoryteller0607

***Book Three of the Orson Goldbloom tetralogy*** "What?" she exclaims. "Trixie is captain?!" I nod firmly. "Yeah. Today's not April Fool's Day, and looks like the All-Father's brain is clouded as f😠😠😠." "Language, Orson!" I look at her puppy eyes, and decide I don't care. "Evangeline, I'd love to tell you that I've been yanking your tail, but I'm not. Trixie is our new head." "What the f-" she sounds as if she would start swearing herself. "Language, my sweet Angel," I say. "The gesture is cute, though." "Go f-" she seems to be unable to speak the word. I grin. Let's do this the fun way. "Read after me: duck." "Duck," she copies. "Luck." "Luck." "Buck." "Buck." "Tuck." "Tuck." "Muck." "Muck." "F😠😠😠." "Fff...uh..." I sigh and facepalm. "Evangeline Youngspire, you are officially hopeless." "I'll take that as a compliment," she says, all smiley. "Oh, of course, you little sh😤😤!" I cry. Puppy eyes, oh how I hate you. "Orson, that's mean!" she pouts. "B😣😣😣😣!" I cry. "Little sl😡😡!" "Orson, you're impossible." I smile, raising my voice a few hundred octaves higher. I brush back my hair exaggeratedly and say as Evangelinely as I can, "I'll take that as a compliment."

The burden of the secrets becomes heavy, and Lillian doesn't know what to do with them anymore. ~•~•~•~•~•~ "What's your name?" "Lillian... Lillian Smith." "Okay, Lillian, so this is what going to happen next." He crossed his arms. "I'm going to let you go and you-" he held his finger at me, "- will tell no one about this." I bobbed my head. "And if I hear even a single word uttering from your mouth about us..." He gestured between him and Toby. "I will-" "- Kill you." I finished for him and give him a thumbs up. "Got it." "Then it's settled!" Toby announced, clasping his hands and beamed.

Dissolving by wee_me

****THIS IS A SEQUEL. To be able to follow this story, please read "Unravelling" first**** Lily has started into the new year with a mixture of confusion, curiosity, anticipation - and dread. Ever since her oldest brothers revealed some of the truth about their family's past, the 12-year-old soon-to-be-teenager is struggling to come to terms with all the new and partially heart-breaking information. For the first few months of the year, Lily has tried to stay true to her word and not dig any further into their past, at least not until Alex, her guardian, is willing to share more details with the younger kids. However, Lily's patience is slowly running out. So many things are occupying her mind. She is convinced that there is still a lot more to discover about her family, and she is not willing to wait much longer. What is their father's story and can she locate him? How did her sister die? When will she see Finn again? Why is Sean really moving back home? And what is the reason behind her brothers' weirdly secretive behavior? With the help from her friends and some of her siblings, Lily continues her journey of gradually unravelling her family's secrets. Will she be successful? Will the implications of her discoveries slowly dissolve her family or is she able to save these fragile relationships before it is too late? Join Lily once again as she juggles school, friends, family (meetings), the general challenges of growing-up, creepy stalkers, some tragedies and maybe even her first encounter with something akin to a crush in these rather eventful months of her life.

My Name Is Jasper by JasperDeMan

A book about life and people, about the past and the present, about insights and stories, all seen through the eyes of a 30 year old kid trying to figure out adulthood. And a lot about toilets for some reason... Anyway. Each chapter is accompanied by a song. The song is tied to the chapter in a specific way. Although the connection is something blaringly obvious, I don't specifically call it out. up to you to figure it out :) My first Wattpad story, hope you like it - if you do, leave me a vote.
