" In another moment down went Alice after it, never once considering how in the world she was to get out again." - Lewis Carroll, Alice's adventures in wonderland

Life is not like a children's story, but we can learn a lot about the unknown from the words of children. When confronted with a hopeless situation and there seems to be no answer about we're you are going, sometimes you need to just leap into that rabbit hole and have faith that you will come out in wonderland. 

A year ago I followed Alice into that rabbit hole. 

They say twins develop a bond that can never be broken. Me and my twin sister Rebecca were best friends and inseparable since the day we were born on April 5 1998. 
We shared the same like for the colour blue, had the same blond hair- the same blue eyes. 
We were sisters- and I thought we could live forever. 
She was the one and only person I loved more than life itself. She is too young to die. She can overcome her cancer- and I'm going to help her do it.All Rights Reserved

The Daughters of Autumn by leithne

One wise and cunning storyteller once said: the mystery of the world consists in the fact that in every person exists a second person, like a twin. But what would happen if this one, the second, gained the flesh? And what would you do after meeting your twin? .. This is a story about two girls who lived in different worlds, but were inseparable. Who could not touch each other in any way, but whose fate, so different, weaved into one. Alice grows in an affectionate and happy Amber city, where you can always hear children's laughter on the streets. She leads a sleepy, measured life of a princess, wears corsets and ribbons in her hair, tries to be polite and obedient. The world of Kira is torn by a war into shreds, filled with bloodthirsty ghosts and dark magic. In this crazy world, she learns to kill, hide and survive. Once they are destined to meet each other's eyes in a mirror reflection, change places and, of course, to accomplish a common feat that will forever change both the fate of the two worlds and their own.

Where Two Collide by SquishBeanie

Alice and Cat are twins, but where they once looked so alike, now they couldn't be more different. Alice, who had once thought she was so lucky to be loved by the "last good guy" at her school, becomes increasingly uncertain of her volatile relationship. As the strain of their relationship escalates, Alice begins to withdraw within herself, and the rigourous plan she had for her life derails with her. Cat has never been interested in dating. With her eyes focused straight ahead, and her persistent skirting of anyone who tries to get close, she is thrown into an internal struggle when she meets the passionate Addie, who brings out a side of Cat that she didn't realise existed. Love, abuse, bad decisions, and high school sometimes get in the way of being your true self. **Content warning: This story mentions violence, abuse and sexual assault which may be a trigger for some readers.

Atlantis Academy: The First Element by AutumnKalquist

Five Star Reviews for Atlantis Academy: "Omg this book was amazing I couldn't put it down or stop reading. I carried it with me open on my phone while I did everything just to keep reading. I need more of all of this. Epic story, epic content, epic visuals, just epic. LOVE THIS!" "Once I got into this story, I did not stop reading it. This is a beautiful story about a very awkward girl who is riven with so much pain and angst and yet... this makes her who she is and shapes her into the person she will become. The world she finds herself awakened to is magical and yet filled with the all-too-familiar cliques and tribes of the very human people who inhabit it. One word to describe the story: beautiful!" "The story pulls you headlong to the end and leaves you wanting to shout "No! Not yet!" ...If there were 6 stars, I would have given it that." *** Humanity is one secret society away from extinction. The children of Atlantis use magic to keep us safe. If they make it through the Academy. Hi, I'm Lyric. And I'm kind of a mess. ADHD, that's me. I'm a high school drop-out, late everywhere I go, and one screw-up away from being homeless. I'm a loner, and I like it that way. Who needs friends when you have a Redwood forest nearby? Trees never bully me like the kids did at school. Or get drunk and throw things at my head. After my mom died, I figured life couldn't get much worse. I thought it might even get better. Ha. The universe has a great sense of humor. I should've listened to the rumors about evil spirits. About the angry, ancient magical creatures haunting our small Oregon Coast town. But did I? No. That was my first mistake. And it might be my last. 'Cause now I'm in a battle for my life. A whole new world has opened up... a magical world I don't understand. And the blood in my veins says I belong here. But I have to prove myself to save myself. And when have I ever done that?

Altered by LuellaOpal

Have you ever met someone who alters the course of your life? For good or for bad, they've come in, given and taken, and then- BOOM! Your life was never the same. There's always a change, an altering of reality. When you meet those people, the reality that you've known your whole life is suddenly gone and a new one has taken its place. When those moments happen, there's no going back. You can try to return to the way things were but nothing, and I mean nothing, can take you back to exactly how it was. That's what happened to us. I think that's why we're still trying so desperately to get back to some sort of normalcy. Four years later and we're still on the ground, crawling, in search of the happiness that was lost that June. Summers will never be the same. Midnight walks through my neighborhood will never be the same. Field parties with bonfires and loud music will never be the same. I still don't know why you left and what lead you to the decision you made. What I do know is that we're here. We're alive and we're pushing forward to the future. A future that you're not a part of. But in some ways, I'm glad you're not a part of it. I just wish it wasn't like this. *** TRIGGER WARNING*** SA, abuse, suicide, substance abuse, and mental illness. This is a complete story that is much like life; fast, full of surprises, and not always how we want it to be. This has been a project of mine for over three years. It was self-published on Amazon, but after some issues in publication, I decided to just upload it on here. I hope you fall in love with these characters like I have. The friends in this story are trying to make names for themselves, figure out who they are, who they can trust, how to love, and how to separate themselves from a restrictive community. As in any coming of age story, they will experience growing pains... but will they survive them before its too late? PLEASE READ THE TRIGGER WARNINGS.

Catch Me by catmonaut

Everybody thought I was insane for breaking up with Ryan and that my sisters accident was the reason for doing so.

I'll Love You Till the End by krissygirl

So I have this thing. Some people would call it a catastrophe; some would call it heart breaking. It also has the name of disease, and heart killer. I call it just cancer. Simple enough as it is, right? Doesn't help that I already had it once before, it just came back to fight harder as ever. I thought it was over. Isn't it though? Don't you give up at that point? Senior year and I'm ready to end my life as a person all together. I'm tired of fighting and might as well give up because there are no chances of me living all together. So as a smart choice I move so when I die no one will know me or care about me. Wouldn't that be the logical choice? I don't want pity. Never liked, never will. So don't tell anyone I have cancer. Ever. Doesn't help that a boy started getting involved with me and snuck under my skin before I even realized what he was doing. What changed me were those few, simple words all together. "I'll love you till the end." That, that was about the time I started caring about life again. And it was all because of him.
