(COMPLETED) (SHORTLISTED IN THE ONC) Rated mature due to violent descriptions and triggering topics like blood, gore, death, murder, and suicide. ~~ Ava had watched a grotesque video about the murder of a 'living' doll.

Overthinking was starting to get the best of her, but she has a feeling they're not just thoughts, and that she was truly in danger.

The Water Witcher (Completed)
During a massive drought, a Water Witcher goes trekking across several states to visit a friend but finds himself in danger when a group called The Hounds begins hunting him down. 𝘽𝙤𝙤𝙠 1 ~ 🅦🅐🅣🅔🅡 𝙎𝙚𝙧𝙞𝙚𝙨 Corbin has been witching water since he was a young boy. It's a skill his grandfather taught him to survive living in a time of thirst. He also taught him never to venture farther than their property because the world had become too dangerous with people fighting over water. As an adult, however, he finds himself alone. The home he once shared with his grandfather feels more like an empty shell with echoes of memories. Deciding to head for the road to visit a friend, he sets out to wander what's practically become a wasteland. Except, he soon discovers that since his last adventure north, Water Witchers are being captured and sold to high bidders by a group called The Hounds. With his friend Coyote living up north, a few states away, he'll have to figure out how to get there safely, but it won't be easy with danger at every turn. * * 𝐅𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐨𝐧: ~Editor's Pick - Oct 7, 2022~ @Wattpad - Adrenaline Rush @WattpadExplorer - Adrenaline Rush @WattpadDarkFantasy @Adventure - Featured Stories @Fantasy - Featured Fantasy @Mystery Featured Mystery @Adultfiction - Featured Adult Fiction @Action - Featured Action StoriesComplete

Surviving in juvenile prison? Tough. Surviving in juvenile prison with the added bonus of seeing ghosts? Tougher. Bailey has a sixth sense, a criminal record and no appetite for trouble; serving a year-long prison sentence already sucks enough in and of itself. If only the spirits would leave her in peace. A strange warning, an inexplicable injury, a disturbing message written on her cell's wall in blood: Bailey has no choice but to conclude a ghost is out to get her. To save her life, she must find out why. But in a place where restriction is everything and escape impossible, that may be harder than it seems. ~ONC 2020 shortlister and honourable mention~ ~Featured on 'Die Young, Stay Pretty' reading list on @Horror~ -Featured on 'Horror/Paranormal' reading list on @CommunityTeam~ ~Featured on 'Life after death' reading list on @Paranormal~ ~Featured on 'Wicked little creatures' reading list on @TeenFiction~ ~Featured on 'I see dead people' on @fright~ ~Featured on @StoriesUndiscovered, may 2022~ ~Featured on 'The Rebels' reading list on @Badassreads~ ~Amby Awards 2023 Top Pick~ Written for ONC 2020.
