The body of a forth former called Michael Malaba has been found inside the Lobengula High School yard.  Although it's been found hanging from a pine tree, something frightening about it makes one thing certain; his death wasn't a suicide; and it wasn't natural either.

When sixteen year old Isabel Ndlovu's nightmares slowly start to invade her reality, she knows she's the only person who can solve the mystery behind Michael's death. After all, only she can hear the whispers of his sad song; and only she knows that Michael's death will not be the last.

The Devil's Daughter (Short Story) Editing by ZolenaHubbard

#45 in teenagegirl 12/30/19 #8 in teenagegirl 12/31/19 Zo Jones thought she had a normal, teenage life: she graduated high school and is now doing her 2nd year in college with her high school friends, that is until her 19th birthday. Since that day, nothing has been the same. Will November 1st ever be a normal day for her? Excerpt: When he finally came through the door, the first thing I noticed about him was his eyes. They were extremely dark contrasting with his light skin. He also had dark, raven hair that went onto his shoulders with black swirl-like tattoos peeking out from his shirt. But the thing that got me all the way creeped out was his facial expression, as if he was expecting something major to happen. "Ahhhhh shit!" Two voices said in my head. "What the hell?" I thought. 'Oh yeah, we didn't introduce ourselves. I'm Grayson, and the other annoying ass voice in your head is Dominic. We're both your guardian demons!' He exclaimed. 'Oh yeah, I forgot about them.' "Hey!" Both of their voices exclaimed. Snickering in my head, I finally ask them what's wrong since they were shocked when the doctor came in. "He's someone you don't want to be near. You thought demons were dangerous, ohh he's far worse. Us demons are just lapdogs for the devil. But him? He doesn't take orders from anyone." "Do you guys mind stepping out while I examine Zo? It'll be awhile plus I need a little...privacy." The doctor says with a smirk. My parents say sure and drag my siblings out while I plead them to stay with my eyes. "Oh what a lovely surprise I have here." Like my guardian demons both said, "ahhh shit!" This book includes: -Swearing -Mention of rape -Abuse -Sexual content YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!!!!!!

Haunteds by rexdejesus02

#SurvivalRomance #ForcedProximity #Fast-paced BOUGHT BY WATTPAD WEBTOON STUDIOS FOR PUBLISHING/MOVIE DEALS!!! (Contract expired September, 2025) Winner of the Wattys 2020 Award Plot: In 1974, the mysterious cult's mass kidnapping and ritualistic killing led to the summoning of the Shade-a paranormal entity of living shadow. Ever since then, starting in October in Bastillio-a city in the Philippines steeped in history and superstition-the Shade would be seen haunting twelve teenagers at night throughout the month, often resulting in their deaths. But the discovery of U.V. lights as a deterrent from the Shade led the government to establish a system to contain the Shade's threat. Fast forward to 2025, twenty years after the system had successfully prevented any more deaths, the media and global firestorm surrounding the phenomenon died down. So when sixteen-year-old Vergil Torres was identified as one of the twelve and was immediately brought to Biringan-the government shelter where haunteds like him would stay for the month-he was more excited than scared for his life. But the gruesome and inexplicable death of one of them during their stay in the supposedly safe house renews the horror of the Shade. Vergil, together with his classmate and fellow haunted, the "traditional morena beauty" Cana Bernardo, decided to get to the bottom of it. The two classmates who were indifferent to each other must now work together if they are to survive through the month.
