Hailey unwillingly accompanies her parents on a family vacation to New Orleans, right in the middle of a hot and humid summer. This is a trip she desperately wants to avoid. However, her attitude changes when, on a picnic stop to one of the many tours her mother planned for the family, she discovers an intriguing underground cellar. Upon investigating further, she finds this place contains a mysterious warning and the writings of another young woman, Clara, who settled in New Orleans decades before.
  
The story explores the parallel lives of these two teenagers, while they simultaneously unravel a dark secret that plagues the land. Each girl has the power to change a fate they did not choose and eventually find their true selves by following their hearts.

That is till the fateful night she accidentally gets caught sneaking into the home of her stepfather, semi intoxicated after a night of partying. Savannah is forced to attend an old boarding school in another town as her mother's way of trying to save her destructive daughter. Savannah's life as she knows it will never be the same again after her encounter with a young man called Dimitri who she cannot seem to stay away from no matter how hard she tries. The feeling seems to be mutual as he is there at almost every corner. It doesn't take long for Savannah to fall crazily in love with Dimitri whilst at the same time becoming aware of the urban legends of the woods surrounding the school and town she has been sent to. The fact that the woods are off limits and not allowed to be entered, only intrigues Savannah's interest even more. But little does she know, Dimitri knows more then what he is letting on. Are the woods merely woods? Or is there more to it then meets the eye? What does Dimitri know which he is refusing to tell Savannah? Why is she constantly being warned to stay away from the woods? Can urban legends be true? Will their love survive the truth? All questions are answered in this different take on love, friendship and the journey to discovering the truth, yourself and what is worth living and fighting for.

Out There by sriauka

A small village sprouted and streets began to fill, but the world was still small. Still only one village remained. For Cameron, there was no hope of building a new world. Her village was the last village and that was where humanity would end. The world would not get better. It would never get better. But when her family and friends disappear and more and more people vanish every night. She will have to choose where her allegiance lies. With her village or herself. What happens if she chooses the wrong one? ************** "How does one create suspense just by using words?" - JEMIMAHS236 "Wow... I LOVE IT" - kczchik-

She had been counting the days until graduation since kindergarten and now that she started her Senior year, her freedom was finally in sight. Then something strange started happening to her.

Hailey was about to find out that she played a critical role in a world that she didn't know existed. Whether she liked that role or not, she had no choice but to take it. Even if she didn't know what it was going to cost her.
