"Without a doubt, my twin and I are hexed. The gods don't want us to escape. They want us to meet our doom, and there's no denying it as we continue to travel into the dreaded night that doesn't offer us any chance at life."
The story of Hansel and Gretel is one that has roamed our society since its inception in the early 18000s. From the imaginations of Jacob and Wilhelm, the Brothers Grimm was born, and with it, a plethora of eerie children's tales told in ever corner of medieval Europe.
This version of the siblings' tale, however, will tell you about a fair pair of twins and the darkness which looms over their town. Hideous creatures terrorize the region, and no one has ever faced the Witches and lived to tell about it. Because everyone says the Witches are unbeatable.
I say we find out, shall we?

The Unordinary
Six high school students looks like anyone else acts like anyone else but are capable of things no one else is. They learnt from a young age no one that means NO ONE can know about their powers even their parents and other siblings. It brings out the true friends and those who just want to use you. In the end, what do you do when your closest friend betrays you? This is the story as they try to keep their biggest darkest secret of what they are capable of and as they discover they're not the only ones like them... I am not very good at trigger warnings before individual chapters but there is mention of blood, cold abuse and parents divorcing. (But read at your own risk in case I mention something else. I am working on rewriting this story and when I do there will be the trigger warnings in the correct places.) (small teaser.) No one sees me. I am a ghost. I brush against the wooden fence. No one will believe it was me who disappeared into a fence and appeared on the other side of school. I stare at my brother. He made eye contact with me, confirming my suspicions. We both saw it. Whoever that was is like us. "Did you just see that?" I ask "You're that person my brother and I saw," He says. Oh no... Why then? "Wait! You're-" Completed just editing. (Don't be too harsh please)Complete
The Ginger I fell in Love with
So, for those that are Harry Potter fans I bring you this book, but this is a Fred Weasley love story. I don't own any of the original Harry Potter Characters. I am also not going to follow the book exactly with how certain things happened. Hope you enjoy it.

I was pulled out of my daydream when two gingers came running down the corridor making a lot of noise. "Where are we going to hide Georgie?" "Behind the statue Freddie." "Before I could think to move the twins were on top of me. They looked just as shocked as I was. And that's how I became friends with the Weasley Twins. I am Rosalie Holmes. Rose for short. I am a half blood witch. My dad is a muggle and my mum is a witch. I live with my dad and have never met my mom. I am in they I become good friends with the Weasley twins.

Caught in the Feud
"Feeling better?" Dante asked gently but there was an undertone to it. "I was puking this morning but I'm all better. Probably just a stubborn stomach flu. Just makes me ache all over." Giving him a small smile to reassure him. He sadly didn't look so convinced. Did I miss a spot with my makeup? The only thing my uncle gets me that's semi nice, but it is to hide his abuse. "Bullshit! Stop lying." Dante said sternly. My heartbeat was in my ears as he spoke those words, and my anxiety made my palms sweaty. His eyes held concern and suspicion which only made me want to cower away. "I'm n-n-not-" His hazel eyes were shifting darker which made my heart fearful. His eyes were like uncles but without the hatred. "He's right Caelia. Tell us the truth." Ivena said from behind me. My anxiety peaked and my chest went tight; tears pricked my eyes. Why can't they leave it alone? Did they see one of my bruises? Maybe my uncle is right, maybe I am stupid. They are going to think so poorly of me, but I don't know if I can hide it from them much longer. Their eyes went over me as if analyzing me and I hated it. "No no its just from being sick I swear I-" Their eyes cut through me and into my soul. Tears blurred my vision as I realized they wouldn't accept it. "He's just drunk and angry. He doesn't know what he's doing." Tears threaten to fall at my words, and it felt so hard to breathe to even speak the hidden truth. "Who?" Dante asked with a softer tone. His hands reached out to touch me, but I jerked away only making it worse on me. ===================================== Caelia Addison and her Uncle moved to a new place in order to start over to escape his every growing debt. While searching for a job, she ends up meeting three people that end up not only saving her from her abuse, but can they save her from their world or will simply get Caught in the Feud...Complete
