An Angel's Sin || Wednesday Addams
Angel's world was turned upside down. Or at least she assumes it was. In truth, she simply can't see the world at all anymore. Because she's blind. She wasn't always blind, but when some guy decides to beat your face in for hooking up with his girlfriend (even though you were unaware that she even had a boyfriend), well, that sort of thing can happen. And it happened about six months ago. She's been adjusting as well as she can be with zero sight, but it isn't easy. The hardest thing is probably the simple fact that she can't see anymore. She's always loved to just enjoy staring at nature; stars, clouds, the ocean, the sunset, the sunrise, and so much more. None of which she can see anymore. And to make matters worse, she's always had a bad memory. Which wasn't a problem before, but when the only way to see the world is through your memories, what do you do when you can't remember it? That was Angel's problem. Enter: Wednesday Addams Wednesday is a writer and eloquent with her words. So maybe, just maybe, all Angel needs to experience the world again, to "see" the world again, is for Wednesday to simply use her words. Though Angel's lack of sight isn't the only problem they'll be facing. Strange new abilities, kidnappings, and ultimatums, Angel will have to stand up and protect the people she cares about. But is she up to the job? Good thing sin's on her side. Just maybe not for the other people. Takes place after season 1 of Wednesday Also Weems is alive because I said soComplete
Countryhumans Dark Within: The Rebellion (American X Philippines)
Please note during the first few chapters the art is crap but don't let that drive you away. The art gets so much better as the book goes on. Also there's alotta wierd crap that goes on in it but as I got older making this I got better at writing Also I do not hate any nation or people from any nation so any antagonists in this is not based on my political views. This is purely a AU for entertainment purposesComplete![HENRIETTA: PRAELUDIUM [TO BE EDITED]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/295437638-256-k584448.jpg)

Maybe
An internal voice whispered, "Call him." But I chose not to. I dismissed it once more, saying, "He never liked me anyway." Yet the dilemma lingered. "But maybe he does. The way he looks at you... it's different." Out of nowhere, he glanced my way. My heartbeat quickened, sending shivers down my spine. I averted my gaze, pretending to look around. "Has he noticed me? No, wait-oh my god." --- After switching high schools, Nina discovered a new way of life. She fell in love, made wonderful friends, and everything seemed perfect. But Ethan-a popular boy who never focused on anyone but her-was the object of her hatred. He was always there, always keeping her safe. He used to annoy her endlessly. She hated him deeply. Until she didn't. For a while, she was content with her high school experience. That is, until something mysterious turned her world upside down. Forced to move to a new city, Nina had to cut ties with everyone she once knew. Eight years later, fate brings her face-to-face with him again. "Ethan..." He's the key to everything-the truths she never knew. When she was lost in the dark, he always held the light. But now, things are different. She despises him. He's colder than ever. Or perhaps she fears him. Fears that he'll leave her again. Will their lives ever return to normal after everything they've endured? "Maybe?" "Maybe yes. Maybe no?" --- Started: 8 November 2021 Ended: 19 December 2022 Rewritten: December 2024 --- ### Rankings Goals So Far: #1 Adolescente #1 given up #1 blinddates #1 pretend #10 twistedromance #50 high school romance --- ### Notice: This is my first published story, and it contains numerous grammatical errors and bad editing.
