Aura awakens in The Sanctuary, a place known for repairing and rewiring humans. Nothing is known about their methods other than it works and those who enter leave happier.

Except Aura doesn't remember signing up for their treatment plans. In fact, she doesn't remember anything at all. With her identity ripped away from her, she's filled with more questions than she can get answers for, and the worst part is that she can't leave either.

When her memories begin to resurface, she starts to wish that they hadn't.

Escaping Elysia by jessicarvasko

A dystopian young adult novel involving romance, secret experiments on human subjects, and a group of teenagers' will to survive. Reader Comments: "I'm gonna gush about your book real quick...all the technology has a purpose and is beautifully explained so I can picture it in my mind...the whole concept of the book is completely original...*moment of silence for your beautiful arch of character development* everything your characters do is strictly them but they develop enough to show more about themselves without you straight up telling the reader about them" -Vairl9023 "Ahh!!! This is so good!! I will be anxiously awaiting the next Chapter!!" -CrystalBagot "Brilliant...ohh, this is very catchy, good work" -IndeeMaynard "I love this so far" -BrianneMorris "You've done a great job at creating a mysterious mood" -poisonedpen *** All Evita Creedy, 17, wants is to finish her degree and be accepted for a prestigious job with the city's Department of Energy.

It would be easy for Evita to forget about where the gun came from and let her life return to normal, but its mysterious appearance won't stop nagging at her. When Evita starts asking questions Evelyn Sheer, the head of the city's Department of Energy, takes her captive and places her in a secret, underground research facility. Evelyn Sheer and the researchers are trying to create a genetic modification that enables humans to photosynthesize.

Shadows of the Forsaken by BriebrieBuford

Ever since she could remember, the experiments had been part of her life. As a child, they were harmless-just puzzles and strange potions given to her by the woman she called Mother. Back then, she believed it was all a game, a way to make her smarter, stronger. But as she grew, the tests changed. They became invasive. Painful. Each experiment carved new scars into her skin and left her mind tangled in unanswered questions. The woman she once trusted had become a stranger, her warmth replaced by cold calculation. And then the voices started. A shadow lurked within her, whispering, clawing at the edges of her sanity. She wasn't alone in her own body-something else had been forced inside her. Something ancient. Something hungry. Now, she's free... but for how long? With the past chasing her and the monster inside threatening to take control, she's left with one question: Was she ever meant to survive, or was she only meant to become something else?

Echoes of Destiny by melissa2b

Lina, a young archaeologist specializing in Nordic civilizations, leads a quiet, orderly life. But everything changes when she travels to Norway for an excavation and discovers a mysterious artifact engraved with ancient runes. Upon touching the object, Lina is propelled into another reality: her past, when she was Ástríðr, a respected Viking warrior and witness to a bygone world. In this new world, two men shape her destiny: Sverrir, a loyal warrior with quiet strength, and Ivar, an enigmatic Viking whose magnetic aura awakens deeply buried memories and emotions. Torn between her modern identity and her past existence, Lina/Ástríðr finds herself at the heart of an ancient quest linked to the goddess Freyja, to which the artifact holds the key. The runes, bearers of mysteries and prophecies, will guide her on a journey where each choice could upset not only her future, but also the laws of time and destiny. Faced with intense dilemmas between love, duty and freedom, Lina will have to draw on unsuspected strengths and accept the parts of light and shadow that make up her soul. But on this journey, each revelation brings Lina closer to a price she must pay: sacrifice a part of herself to reconcile past and present, or give up what she desires to safeguard the balance of worlds. Echoes of Destiny is an adventure blending passion, Norse mythology and introspection, where one woman's courage redefines the boundaries between love, destiny and free will. I'm putting my book on wattpad with the aim of getting constructive feedback and who knows if the story is good enough, well received by readers or even self-published. There will be 2 chapters a month

Shifters by thefallenposeidon

Imagine awakening with amnesia. Most would lose their mind and our Main Character is no different. Though he handles it better than most, his curiosity slowly pulls him into a magical adventure filled with danger, death and sometimes loss on an unimaginable scale to regain what he lost. Will he finally regain his memories and gain the peace of mind he so desperately needs or will it pull him even further into the abyss..... Feel Free to comment. Do keep in mind these are all mere first drafts (especially the first 5 chapters which were created as a teenager) and will be re-edited on completion! Edit - The first few chapters have been fixed, however, the others need a bit of work which they'll surely receive in the coming months! New Chapters every Saturday! (2023) Would love the feedback

The Rapture by DaniBrull

Pearl Blankenship, an autistic investigative journalist, witnesses the end of the world. Before the nuclear fallout can kill her, a mysterious being offers her a choice: come with him or stay on a dying planet Earth. **** Dumuzi, the being who offered, is an Anunnaki: a descendant of humankind's ancient alien creators. It is his mission to wipe out what remains of humanity in a few short weeks, sparing only those with a thirst for knowledge and moral character. After becoming a journalist, Pearl was mocked online, arrested for trespassing, and challenged globally for her conspiracy theories. Two things she knows for a fact: mankind deserves a second chance, and staying on Earth sounds... well, hazardous. She hopes that by getting closer to Dumuzi, she might be able to change his mind about humanity, as he is a councilman with power. But it isn't going to be easy. Communicating? It's difficult for her. And he is cold, wary of humans, and has weeks left to live due to an illness that plagues him. The more time she spends with him, the more his illness accelerates, and the more steamy attractions ignite into something seriously dangerous. The clock is ticking.

Bad Blood by ttcrunch

Xenobiologist Maggie Viotto believes so, to save mankind she is willing to make the ultimate sacrifice. Captain Rick Tanner, grief stricken by Maggie's choice, finds it difficult not to stake earth's newest 'asset'. As his contempt for the vampire grows and their enemies close in, will he be able to resist exacting revenge? Or will temptation of another kind be humanity's downfall? Vampires, werewolves, aliens, secret orders... It's all in the blood.

ROGUE REBORN - ONC 2023 by StephRose1201

**OPEN NOVELLA CONTEST SHORTLIST** Even if she is killed, she is never dead. ***** She'd spent many, many years in the same body, getting used to her quirks, her mannerisms, learning how to survive through the ages. Yet Josephine wakes up one night and realizes she's been asleep for a century: it's now 2023, and her last memory was being on a boat with friends back in 1923. As an immortal woman--a Reborn--she can never truly die, but if mortally wounded or killed, her body disintegrates, and her essence roams for one hundred years before it creates a new body to inhabit. If she slept for so long, it can only mean one thing: someone murdered her back on that boat, and now she needs to find out who and why. *** ONC entry based on prompt #2: "One night you woke from the dead. For you, you were gone mere seconds, for the world you were gone almost a century. How will you navigate this new world?"

Thistle in the Sky | #NONC2022 | ✔ by SmokeAndOranges

❖ ''ZF 16 Ariomma to unknown vessel. Please identify yourself. Over.'' ❖ Farah and Kazem are twins working aboard the Ariomma, a trading airship that sails the edges of a flat world. Out here is a frontier far from civilization: a place known as the Tideless, where water lifts from the surface of the sea, and great creatures rise with it. Only some of them are known. This is not a sailing path known for its safety, but the crew of the Ariomma have rarely feared their work. That is, until they find the carcass of another ship hanging in the Tideless, decimated by an unknown enemy. Soon, their flight to safety becomes a fight for their lives, as the monster turns its attention on the Ariomma... and them. ❖❖❖ Written for #NONC2022, a community-run novella festival operating in parallel with Wattpad's 2022 Open Novella Contest. Complete. Marked mature for violence and other dark themes. Comments and critiques are both welcome and appreciated. I write characters from many different backgrounds, with many different experiences. If you share those traits and find that I have misrepresented anything, please let me know!
