'Outside', it was a word I hadn't heard before, yet it sparked my interest. What was 'outside', was it a person, a place, or something entirely different? What did it mean? I was tempted to ask Mrs Shirly about it, but I knew it wasn't a good idea. She wouldn't be happy that I'd heard a word. She would wonder why, she'd be confused, and a confused Mrs Shirly was never good, not even for the vile disgrace of a person known as Mr Shirly.
(has scenes of abuse, not graphic)
A girl locked in her house with nothing to do but wonder must try and escape her home and her parents only to find that there are many hidden secrets and mysteries hidden by the people inside

I gave into the harsh, chastising whispers it trickled into my broken soul. I drifted into a place where misery and sorrow inhabited with me as their company. And yet, at that moment, the glooming murk of the night did not touch me. He chipped away at her walls, until, light peeked through the cracks.

I shrunk back into my seat as his head snapped towards me. He looked like his head was going to fall off. His eyes were blazing with rage. His face was set into an icy glare. His fists that rested on the table were clenched so hard his knuckles were white. As he stood from his chair so did I. I felt like the prey to the biggest predator in the jungle. I took two steps back for every stride he took towards me. I gulped again before shaking me head. "She's just joking Ace." my voice quivered as I took another two steps back. "How do I know that?" he sneered down at me, his body towering over me. As I went to take another step backwards, my back made contact with the wall behind me. Well great. Now I'm cornered.

Shadows of the Forsaken
Ever since she could remember, the experiments had been part of her life. As a child, they were harmless-just puzzles and strange potions given to her by the woman she called Mother. Back then, she believed it was all a game, a way to make her smarter, stronger. But as she grew, the tests changed. They became invasive. Painful. Each experiment carved new scars into her skin and left her mind tangled in unanswered questions. The woman she once trusted had become a stranger, her warmth replaced by cold calculation. And then the voices started. A shadow lurked within her, whispering, clawing at the edges of her sanity. She wasn't alone in her own body-something else had been forced inside her. Something ancient. Something hungry. Now, she's free... but for how long? With the past chasing her and the monster inside threatening to take control, she's left with one question: Was she ever meant to survive, or was she only meant to become something else?
