Author note: This is a short fantasy story. It was originally an idea that I wanted to submit to an online magazine but I decided to post it here.
Allison is a wallflower, a loner; she keeps to herself, occasionally talking to her cousin Dani. She wasn't always like this; she was outgoing and talkative but after the death of her mom, she secluded herself from the world. Her only safe is outdoors surrounded by nature but since the woods are considered dangerous in her cousin's hometown, she settles for the school's garden.
Until one day she finds herself in the middle of the forest. Afraid and alone she questions how she got there. But she's not alone.
Ardelean, the name of his home, his responsibility; left to rule the forest at a young age Soren is desperate for a solution. The forest is dying; no-one knows why or how to stop it. No-one except the forest itself. When Soren sees Allison in the middle of the forest, he is discouraged wondering how a weak girl could save his home. He needs to trust the forest; the forest knows best. Now it's up to him to ask Allison to help him.
Will she help him or just leave?

His large figure blocked out most of the light from the street while his shadows seemed to melt into the darkness of the alley.

"What in the Midlands was that?" Brandon asked in shock. "I don't know," Celine answered concerned. "Something very strange is going on. I feel like I need to go into the woods! There's something I need to do in the woods!" she said as she rode over to the side of the road and dismounted, running into the Royal Pine Forest as Brandon called after her to wait. He quickly dismounted and swiftly lead his horse over to Celine's, taking its reins and tying both horses to a tree before going after her. "Celine! Wait!" he called after her as he realized that he could hear a very low humming noise coming from within the woods. "Maybe she's following the noise," he thought as he began to follow it to find where it was coming from and hopefully locate Celine. He pushed through the underbrush as the sound became louder and then he saw Celine standing in front of a whirling, shimmering vortex which was floating about four feet above the forest floor. There was a myriad of different types of strange looking creatures coming out of it and Brandon stood there in disbelief at what he was seeing.Complete

Eighteen-year-old Jessica has always felt the pull of the forest. Living at the edge of the forest of the wild, she's heard the warnings her whole life: never cross into the monster's side. But when danger strikes and she's forced beyond the border, she discovers a world far stranger-and more beautiful-than she ever imagined. Wounded and alone, Jessica is saved by Zackariah, a mysterious guardian of the forest with eyes like a stormlight and a soul shaped by solitude. He is not entirely human... and not entirely monster.

But with danger closing in, and old powers stirring in the trees, their connection may not be enough. To stay together, they'll have to choose: the safety of what they've always known... or the wild, uncertain path of the heart. Some stories begin on the edge of the unknown.

TOTAL Compatibility (Preview)
Behind the Barrier, Jillian's life is tidy enough: follow orders, keep the illusion of peace intact-and, in theory, fix her personal life, which remains an ongoing disaster. That is, until things stop making sense-and she starts recognizing faces she's never met. Her job? Eliminate the creatures that slip through from the Astral. Easy enough-until one of them, a charming bastard who calls himself a Wishmaster, starts slipping into her dreams and peeling back her defenses like he's done it before. Maybe he has. Then there's her new partner: engineered by OptiMate to be her perfect match, tailored to her needs with unsettling precision, and wearing a face that feels just a little too familiar. And maybe that's not a coincidence either. As reality unravels and memories begin surfacing in all the wrong places, Jillian starts to wonder if the real threat isn't what lurks beyond the Barrier-but what's already rewriting her from the inside. A blend of sharp-edged romance, warped memory, and twisted magic-for readers who love stories where love feels wrong, the past refuses to stay buried, and the truth hits like a sucker punch.

"You're alive" He said tearing away from me, looking me up and down as if he was checking to see if I was okay or If I was even real. I could hear in his voice of how scared he was of losing me, giving me pecks with his tears dropping down his face, his words in between soft kisses. I blushed as his cold touch felt like electricity on my skin. "You're here. I don't understand. How are you here?" He continued resting our foreheads together as our gaze was focused on each others gaze. My hands found his cheeks as I took a stolen kiss. "I've missed you so much" I mention exhaling as if I had been holding it in since I left him. The rain was hitting us hard but we were so stuck in the moment, it didn't affect our moment in the slightest. *** One witch, one vampire. Two different astral planes and a forbidden love.
