Something dark and strange has come to Greenwald.
On the biggest night of his young life, Gabriel Brennan is all set to propose to his girlfriend, Adelaide "Alice" Stewart. As they dine, though, something is off, something he can't quite put his finger on. Then, as his girlfriend visits the restroom, another Adelaide, the real one, shows up, without any knowledge of having just been seated across from him. Gabriel grows cold. Who is that, then, in the restroom?
Elsewhere, a bright student and promising writer named Alice Gordon begins sensing a sinister presence in her life. As her friend Leighton and her twin brother Adrian struggle to help her, a series of murders breaks out, all involving those in Alice's --- and Gabriel's --- social orbit. The trail of darkness seems to be spiraling around to Alice, focusing on her as the final centerpiece. What's even weirder, there's talk the murderer looks exactly like her.

The Forest (Complete Unedited)
This story begins in the year 2001, although maybe it started twenty six years before that when Alice was born. Or even before that when her parents met each other. You could say it probably started centuries ago when England was covered in thick oak woodland. Maybe I'm getting ahead of myself or maybe behind, for now every story has to start somewhere. Alice is a slightly plump office worker. She lives in a shared flat in London with some other girls, who she hardly ever talks to as she is very shy. She is happy to finally be independent after leaving her mother's house. Her job is her life and she loves it. Next she plans to get a boyfriend and to lose a bit of weight, then her life will be perfect. Things seem to be going well on the surface. Unfortunately the dreams were getting worse, Alice just couldn't get any sleep. After taking yet another sick day, completely by accident! Her supervisor finally gave her the talk and temporarily suspended her. It was time to sort her life out, if only she can find some courage. She is as surprised as anybody when she steps out of the office and life suddenly gets interesting! What happens when Alice goes in search of her dreams? Are they nightmares or something else? Read on to find out. Cover, illustrations and photographs by Sarah Nana. (me) Copyright 2020, Please don't copy my book thanks! Dedicated to Ginger and Peanut, my chickens who died during the writing of this book. There are some descriptions of a violent or slightly graphic nature and some slightly mature content but not enough for a wattpad mature rating.Complete

The Witch's Mates
I am just about to turn around and head down the alley toward the street when I see two shadows step away from the wall a little farther down from where I am standing. I can't see any features, but I can guess from their statures that they are both men. I don't know what species they are though, but given that they just witnessed me kill a vampire I decide it's time to get the hell out of here. At least they aren't blocking my path to the street. Just as that thought crosses my mind, I hear the back door to the club open and close. I don't want to take my eyes off the men in front of me, but I have to see who just walked out. To assess the new danger. Before turning to look though, I pull out my remaining weapon also hidden in my boot. A silver dagger. It's only really good for killing werewolves, but it can do some damage to other supernaturals too. I give the figures in front of me one last look, they haven't moved at all, and then glance behind me. My breath stops for a moment, and it feels like my heart stops along with it. *** Willow is a witch who hunts down and kills other supernaturals. After the Great Massacre of the Wiccan Community, their population had been decimated. So while they try to rebuild their population and plan their revenge, they take out as many supernaturals as they can.
