Every twenty-five years, the isolated, Adirondack village of Pearl Cove hosts a town-wide scavenger hunt called Castle, available only to students in their final year of high school that reside there. The game is simple: decode the clue given to you at the beginning of each round, be the first to find all four of your keys, and win the cash prize. But, as history shows, the game and its owners have a tendency to play their hand in the lives of the participants, leading them unknowingly to places they shouldn't be. Playing Castle then becomes a race against unknown time, rather than a friendly scavenger hunt.
For Pressley, Castle is an opportunity to finally be able to call Pearl Cove home. A win could mean a chance to stay in the village with her girlfriend, who is most skeptical of the game, and properly grieve an unthinkable loss.
For Iris, an avid tree-lover and inside-hater, winning Castle is a chance to finally get out of Pearl Cove, a place in which she never should've landed to begin with. Though she doesn't have much faith in her odds of winning, Iris wants nothing more than to be Somewhere Else. She's willing to take the test of time to get there.

Friendzone 🫶🏻
• Enemies • Friends • Lovers • What if two people destined to be together were too afraid to leave the friend zone? This enemy-to-lovers story focuses on River, a boy whose scars aren't just surface deep and who has a mind that can't focus on anything other than his insane hunger. Together with Millie, a small town cafe waitress who is still finding her path in life after a traumatic past. They say don't bite the hand that feeds you, but they didn't say anything about finger fucking. ;) Read the first SHORT 'meet main characters' chapter to get a feel for the story.Concluida
Shh - Eyes Down, Mouth Shut.
Everyone has secrets. We treasure them, we keep them, we treat them like our nearest and dearest - our prize possesions. It's what you do when they come out that counts. And it's how you try to stop that from EVER happening. Especially when they're life-changing.Concluida
We are Weapons
In the misty town of Westeria Valley, the past still lingers-unseen, but never silent. Laughter echoes from the woods, shadows flicker without light, and something ancient waits just beyond the trees. When a group of children begin to uncover strange clues buried beneath their quiet town, they're pulled into a game they never agreed to play. With each step, the line between reality and nightmare fades. Can they uncover the truth before the valley's secrets consume them-or are they only pawns in something far more sinister? What is it that they face? A presence far older than the trees or someone vengeful enough to make the world turn upsidedown or maybe, all of this is just a sick joke for a controversial story? Why don't you find out yourself?Concluida
Hit Rewind
Time heals all wounds. When you have the power to rewind it, you begin to wonder whether it's too much responsibility for one person to hold. ***** Sometimes, walking away is the scariest, yet the bravest thing one can do. Iris Fox would know; after returning to the coastal town of Emelle Bay, Oregon, and finding her life in shambles, it's hard to ignore the voice in the back of her head that beckons her to stay. Days turn into weeks, which turn into months, and Iris finds herself drawn to the heartbreaking reminders of how it all went wrong. Echoes of unfinished business and painful memories wash up, awakening the dormant power to rewind time, and Iris realizes she has a choice to make--she can either use her power to try and fix what has been stolen from her, rewriting her past, present, and future, or she can tuck the past where it belongs. Either way, there's only one conclusion. All actions have consequences. ***** Open Novella Contest -- prompts 24, 33, & 54 [[WATTPAD FEATURED STORY X2]] [[OPEN NOVELLA CONTEST 2024 ROUND 1 AMBASSADORS' PICK, LONGLISTER & SHORTLISTER]] [[THE AMBYS 2025 AMBASSADOR'S PICK IN CONTEMPORARY NOVELLA]] © 2024 caterina george // all rights reservedConcluida
Sweetheart
[COMPLETE] 18+ (but if you're not 18, I won't tell on you) --- It had been a mistake. It had all happened so fast. The look on her parents' faces when they found out had been devastating. Perhaps that was why she didn't complain when they decided to send her to a small village in Canada, away from the chaotic and luxurious Los Angeles, with the excuse of being an exchange student for a year. Grace Castle was more than happy to welcome Elizabeth "Lizzie" Wright in her modest house, along with her son Nate and, well, Aaron. It had been 2 years since Grace had taken in the troubled 18-year-old boy, after the tragedy that had occurred to him and his family. Dark and untamable like smoke, Aaron was the exact opposite of Lizzie, groomed to be the perfect woman, always following the rules, and stepping out of line only that one time. One time that cost her a year away from her old city, far away from curious ears and judging eyes. A year that was going to change her life completely, tumbling into a den of lions ready to devour her as soon as they had her in their pack as one of their own. He would not let her have it easy. It was time for sweet, docile Lizzie to face the world and its snakes. He'd make sure of that. Though... was he sure she was not just yet another wolf in a sheep's clothing? Was her heart as pure as he believed, or could it be shaded with swirls of gray smoke like his? ---Concluida
