I moved a lot.  And by that, I mean a lot. 
This also  means I have no place that was special to me.
That is, until I moved to Tennessee.
I finally had made a couple friends, and I had found an amazing hang-out place in the forest behind our house.
But I knew it wouldn't last long.
Just when my parents told me we were moving again, the forest revealed some secrets I never would've thought were real.  But they were real, my parents convinced me of that.
Is anything what I thought it would be?  Were my friends actually loyal to me all along, were my parents actually my real parents, was the place where I loved to hang out connected to me in a way?
But the most important question running through my head was "Do I actually belong here, or do I belong to the Forgotten Forest?"

Eli's Otherworldly Echo by alreaper

...something felt off. Despite the warmth of the celebration and the thoughtfulness of my friends, a strange unease settled over me. The journal in my hands, while beautiful and personal, felt like a key to something deeper. A weighty reminder that even with all the laughter and joy, there were layers beneath my ordinary life that I had yet to uncover. I opened the journal and flipped through the blank pages, wondering what I could possibly fill it with. As I reached the last page, a folded piece of paper slipped out. It was crisp and unfamiliar, not something I would have expected in a brand-new journal. Curiosity piqued, I unfolded it carefully. The note was handwritten in neat, flowing script: _"Your life is about to change. The key is within you, but you must remember who you are first. Happy birthday, Eli. You are more important than you think."_ A chill ran down my spine as I stared at the words. Who could have written this? How did they know I'd get this journal? The sense of unease that had been gnawing at me all day surged forward, wrapping around my chest like a vice. This is how it began: on what should have been a simple, forgettable birthday, I found myself thrust into a mystery far greater than anything I could have imagined. The note in the journal was just the first clue-a breadcrumb leading me toward something I could never have expected. Whatever this was, whoever this girl was, one thing was certain: my world had shifted, and there was no turning back. I was Eli, and my story was just beginning. --- Note: This story was brought to life with the help of ChatGPT, whose insights and suggestions helped guide the development of Eli's journey and the world around him. Together, we shaped a tale that blends the ordinary with the extraordinary, as Eli discovers that even the most unassuming lives can hold the keys to something far greater.

Hiccup x Reader: Book 1 by XxStephanotisxX

•~•This story is a crossover of a roleplay that me and my friend did, and the How to Train Your Dragon movies.•~• Your parents always warned you about humans. "They can't be trusted." They'd always say. "Why? What's so bad about humans?" I'd reply. She turned serious. "You don't need to worry about that, since you won't have a dragon." She replied. "But what if I end up having one in the future?" I say. "Don't worry." My father said. "We'll make sure you don't." You're walking one day, when you come across a large hole, big enough for at least 30 dragons. It has water and trees everywhere. But you find there's something else in there as well, hiding in the shadows. It's.. a dragon. Its scales were as black as night. It's eyes.. piercing. One look at this beast and you knew you should run. The most deadly and most world-feared dragons; the Night Fury.

King Of The Night: The New Servant by ChocolateBluZ

It was so cold, I could feel the bits of snow covering my body, as I laid captive in the cold. Sheet of soft, white blankets camouflaged the bushes and trees in the wonderland. The animals and insects were covered in the ice that kept them frozen in place, like puppets on a shelf. There were no flowing stream of water; they were frozen into a misty blue, icy surface. I had no memory of how I got here; I was with my mom and dad eating dinner. On a Friday, we were talking about our day and how we should plan a family vacation. That was it and now I'm in the forest that seems to be frozen in time. I pulled my legs into my chest and dug myself deeper into the winter snow of the ground. Thinking that if I were to burrow, maybe. Just maybe I could keep the heat from leaving my body. I pulled over my hoodie and shrunk my face into the scarf that was covering my mouth. My breathing was deep and long drawn, trying drastically to find warmth; white air came from me to the air of the cold. As the fearful winds pounded me, deeper into the hole and shifted away pieces of the snow that was around me. Slowly, my mind started to drift off. This wasn't good; I tried to keep my eyes from closing into asleep that would have been endless. But there was no use my weak, shivering body fell asleep, before I could even fight. And dreamed. Dreams are something you are battling that your mind plays on you to figure it out. Like a game that ends the way you make it. When you lose you can only blame yourself, and cry for something only you know because it's your mind. Your dream. Your... "Do you want to live". A voice swayed into my dream. "Or do you want me to leave you here". I knew I was dreaming, but am I dreaming in a dream. Is that even possible? Maybe it's just a voice made by my subconscious giving me someone to talk to. I don't want to be alone. So with the strength I had left I uttered, in a voice so quiet it was more of a whisper. "Please help me".

Quick Hero by amecOfficial

Is this really the correct answer-to leave my family, friends, and my normalness. I want to believe that I can manage that burden. Mary. "It's better when you don't think about it, but if you do-don't use some half ass reason to justify it." My life changed the moment I met you, and I swear to repay you for your kindness. Because you and everyone else are my family. There are people in this world who work in the shadows protecting everyone from the evils of the world and I was lucky enough to witness this first hand. --- I wrote these characters and the baseline of the story all the way back in 2nd grade. Now, 17 years later, I decided to actually turn it into a full flesh story. I will note that it may be somewhat confusing to read due to the way I write in this. But over time it will become easier.

The Haunted Mansion by writtenlove22

~Zyvea POV~ All I wanted was to save money from a good job, enough for medical school. How did I end up with a dead, reclusive parent and a sprawling estate!? I spent my entire life scrapping by with every penny I found and stretched, and yet that old bastard sat on acres of property that he didn't care enough to mention, let alone take care of. Thick forest has swallowed more than half of it, save for the large manor house and the surrounding couple of acres of wild garden. There's something to its wildness that beacons me, almost feels like it wants me to chase it. They say that it's dangerous to wander there, but I feel an urgency. Almost as if my presence is an answer to its impending wildness. Should I answer its call?
