In a spur of the moment decision, Esmerelda decides to leave all her problems behind. Her controlling parents, her abusive husband, and her old life are all left in the past as she drives away to meet her childhood best friend Penn, in the hopes that he can help her get back on her feet for a while.
All she needs to do to get there is take on one simple job. Babysitting the Kasai children, twins Erin and Angie and Darcie, their older brother. With seemingly no problems in her plan, for the first time in her life, things seem to shaping up for Esmerelda and she is finally in control.
Until she meets Dirk, Darcie's imaginary friend.
Everyone in the tiny town refers to Dirk as if he's a real person, saving him seats and tables, having conversations with him, and blaming problems or praises on him. Ezy seems to be the only person who isn't going along with the game. But as the day goes by and Dirk continues to make his presence known, Esmerelda begins to question everything she knows.
What will become of her now if Penn doesn't take her? Will she ever be truly alone again? What separates fantasy from reality? Is she making the right decisions?
And most importantly...
Is it possible for belief alone, to make something alive?

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)Zakończone

"We have no more time to clean her wounds," she heard a female voice say. "We're already behind schedule. I can only erase a few memories before we get there." (Y/N)'s eyes were dropping already and she was already falling asleep. The last thing she heard was the female saying to her, "WICKED is good."Zakończone
