"I have lived this long, haven't I?"
It's easy to lose a child in a mall, or even around the house, when they're quiet. They hardly say a word, when they should be talking, and chattering, at 6 years of age. They have started school, and are making connections between people. They are growing up, yet they do not speak. They never said a word, when they were picked up by 'workers' of their family. They never dared to yell, when they were slapped with a piece of tape across their mouths, and bound to chairs for hours.
They were 6 years old then, but they are 18 years old, and times have changed. No longer do they hold their breath when someone tells them too. You are on their land, and they have the control. They do as they please, because if they didn't, tomorrow may never be there. They go to sleep, knowing they have made a life for themselves, and awake, knowing they lived through the night.
Astrid, Asher and Avery, live with knives to their throats every single day, without a single clue, after 12 years, if they are ever going to make it out alive. They always have an eye on the exit, and even debate taking it, but then, they would cost themselves their lives, wouldn't they? They wouldn't know, unless they walked through that one door, and saw the other side of the world. The other side of that door.

THE ODD ONE OUT
"What about me? I have feelings too, you know?" Words can mean a lot to someone, especially when they are repeated. They make you question how you think, how you operate, and most of all, how you see yourself. It makes you wonder how you fit in to this puzzle of the world, and it makes you second guess everything. A single word, can really change how everything revolves around you, when you have nobody to fall back on. At 16 years of age, Thalia has never truly understood what it feels like to be included. Inclusion is not something that people did and immediately thought of her. People looked at her, and decided to walk around her, or to purposely go out of their way to not pick her. Even teachers turned a blind eye on the girl that was truly suffering. People never understood the full weight of their words. Actions were something you could dismiss, but it was the words that hit their target, every time. They hit her in the school hallways, and they took full force when she walked in through the front door of her house. It was a house, something with four walls and people in it, but never a home. Nothing that said people of a family lived there. Those people that made a family, had one of their own. They had a family, that did not extend to the young girl that was their step-sister. They made it clear, they were step-siblings, and not siblings. Growing up, it became 16 against 1. Older sisters are supposed to share their clothes with their younger sisters and prepare them for what was awaiting for them. Older brothers were supposed to protect the younger ones and tease them from time to time. But these people, simply preferred to hold the title, rather than to act. Only one day, that would all change. It would all change, but was it for the better? ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Started: 3.10.22 Revised: 17.02.26 Finished:

Aperture
The first thing you should know about me? I wasn't meant to exist. Not with the name Evelina Moretti. Not in their house. Not in their world. The second thing you should know? Every empire breaks from the inside. My name is Evelina Moretti, and I'm the aperture-the tiny fracture that let the truth in. What is that you might ask?

This is the story of the girl they threw away- and the home I was never meant to survive. And somehow, in the ruins of everything we broke, we found a way to build each other back. Because somewhere along the way, we became a family. ✧･ﾟ: ✧･ﾟ: ✧･ﾟ: ✧･ﾟ: ❀ :･ﾟ✧:･ﾟ✧ :･ﾟ✧:･ﾟ✧ The Moretti's had everything. Fame. Money. Power. A legacy carved into the city like a warning. Until one drunken night- one lie whispered in the wrong ear- brought their empire crashing down. All that's left is seven brothers. But does blood really run thicker than water? And they don't want Evelina there. They look at her like she's the dust on their boots, an inconvenience they're forced to tolerate, a reminder of the past. And she doesn't understand why. She doesn't understand what she did. "All I know is I don't belong. Not in that house. Not in that name. Not with them. But I have nowhere else to go." All she wishes-quietly, desperately- is to be more than a crack in their perfect world. But cracks spread.

THE BEACH ACCIDENT
Skylar Miller was only ten years old when everything began to fall apart. First, it was the quiet disappearances-one sibling at a time-until only three of her siblings remained in her life. Then came the accident, a day that left her with more than just physical scars. The trauma buried itself deep, woven into her every breath, her every fear, her every heartbeat. Now sixteen, Skylar lives with the weight of what happened, unsure if she's ready to face the memories she's locked away for so long. But something is shifting. One by one, the siblings she thought she had lost forever begin to reappear-some with open arms, others with walls just as high as her own. As old wounds resurface and long-held secrets begin to unravel, Skylar finds herself pulled between the pain of the past and the fragile hope of what could be. Can she let them back in? Can she trust the people who left when she needed them most? And most of all, can she find herself again in the midst of the chaos? The Beach Accident is a poignant story of loss, healing, and the complicated, beautiful mess of family. __________________________________________________________________ *TW: some themes and language may be distressing for some* __________________________________________________________________ Started: 6.01.22 Updated: 19.04.25 Finished: -

Fractured stillness
Adeline Moretti, a 17 year old who has been pulled back into the dangerous world of her estranged family. After years of silence, she is forced to confront her brothers, each with their own way of dealing with the past. As she struggles to piece together the truth about her family's secrets, Adeline must navigate betrayal, loyalty, and the complex bond she shares with her father. With her trust shattered and her safety constantly at risk, Adeline faces the harsh reality of her bloodline's power and the deep scars it has left behind. In a world where silence can be more dangerous than the truth, Adeline must decide who she can trust-and how to break free from the past that holds her captive. ~ "You want to protect me?" "Yes." I shut the book slowly, placing it on my lap. "Well, I don't need protecting." He frowns slightly, like that wasn't the answer he expected. "Adeline-" "No," I cut him off. "You don't get it. You weren't there. You didn't see what I had to live with. I protected myself every single day. From the second I woke up to the second I went to sleep. I did that. Not you. Not anyone else. Me." His jaw tenses, but he doesn't interrupt. "So no," I continue, voice sharp, "I don't need a guard. I don't need someone to yell at me like that's supposed to prove how much they care. I've had enough of that already."
