The Lost Hybrid (Completed)
I felt the bed dip as he sat down on the other side but I focused solely on my task until I was done. "This is a pillow barrier. Meaning, you don't breach this side of the pillows." I instructed, my voice firm. "What if I don't want anything between us?" Phoenix said in a husky voice, and I risked a glance. Bad choice. His eyes were dark and his gaze was on my lips, to my chest, then back to my lips. "Eyes up here, buddy." I snapped the third time his eyes went down to my chest. All he did was turn off the lights. When it was dark, he whispered," Can't I admire what is mine?" I had no answer, and turned on my side. He sighed. Despite taking two naps today, I was out cold the minute my head hit my pillow. I could only hope that in the morning, the pillow barrier was still there. ***** Adira has a secret, one she would do anything to protect.

ONE NIGHT IN THE CABIN HOUSE (Completed and NOW Edited!!...)
Garcia, Justine, Bateman, Lee, and Claire were driving through unfamiliar woods when, late in the evening, their car got a flat tire. Stranded and with night quickly falling, they decided to search for shelter until morning. After some time, they stumbled upon a deserted, run-down cabin deep in the forest. Exhausted, they chose to stay there, unaware that what they had just entered wasn't a refuge-but a dangerous trap waiting to unfold. *** "Or haunted," Bateman muttered, staring at the window. "What do you mean?" Claire asked. "Gracia was right," Bateman said, standing up. "I saw the shadow move just now." Lee sat up in surprise. Seconds later, a loud bang echoed through the tiny room as someone-or something-knocked on the door. ~#5 bestseller ~#1 dangerarghty ~#8 ghoststory ~#2 greatstories ~#4 horror thriller ~#17 fright ~#27 bestbookonwattpad ~#19 beststoryever ~#33 ghostbusters ~#19 darkforest Please vote if you enjoyed the story! 😊 I'm open to feedback and happy to make corrections.
