35 years ago, something happened. Something that didn't make sense, something that was unexpected and something Heather Ciara, the third had never seen coming. Stuck on the same bus for the next god-knows-how-many years, she gave up hope trying to understand what happened and why she was stuck on that bus.
Until she met Clarabel Meadows who was surprisingly, her only companion after decades, but "how?" was a question that wouldn't stop haunting either of them.
Confused, lost, definitely scared, they try to figure out the truth of what happened that day while trying to navigate through their feelings in a world so uncharted where failure meant game over.

DROWNED
Not everything is as it seems in Clara Collin's life. Well, she seems to be your typical nerd, she is excellent at mathematics and language, and is terrible at sports, more specifically: she is completely unable to swim. That's what it seems she was trying to tell Liam Walters as he carried her down the dock of an allegedly cursed lake, with the intention of giving her a good scare and forcing Clara to endure the bus ride back to school sopping wet. But what he didn't intend was for Clara to die in that water. *** Clara didn't expect for most aspects of her life to seem like a lie, she didn't expect to not be human. *** SEQUEL : THE BLOOD DUEL - UP NOW !! WARNING: I wrote DROWNED when I was 13, so please don't expect anything high quality. There are plot holes and chapters which don't make sense. I'm in the process of rewriting chapter by chapter but veryyyy slowly.Complete
Such The Liar Painted Me
This is a #TeenFictionAnotherYearShortStory entry. --- Believe me, when adulting takes place, you forget your naïve little side instantly and are ready to fit yourself in the big boots. But let's say, it's too soon for Olivia Dee. For her, graduation was a ceremony, a consummation of all the misery and guilt she had had to bear, of which none whispered-and she finally had the chance to leave it all behind. But the world's twisted, right? What if...I say, she has to relive all her past memories--that nasty first kiss, to be labelled a troublemaker, to be accused of things she could never imagine ever doing? Sadly, this is not her decision to make. A day after her graduation, she wakes up to face her senior year again. She knows that she had completed her education, she spends hours yelling about it on everyone's face. But at the end, she has to go to college again with one question--how does she even return back in time? But this time, all she has to do is grapple with a recurring dream, try to eliminate all the dark spots in her senior year and find out the reason of this travel back in time. Yet one thing's for sure, she hasn't travelled back in time. I give you my word. I know. There are numerous black-outs, sudden falls, chills, drama and a whole different system of cheating, drugs, revenge and a famous Queen sister, who is, mysteriously, now not famous at all. Watch her swim and drown, as she struggles between her reality and to keep up with her past struggles again, literally. Meanwhile, there's one context she never understands: Death undoes anything. *** Credit to @cattown_graphics She is a real darling, and managed to present me this cover at a very short notice. I'm so grateful!Complete
The Shrinker
On her 16th birthday, abandoned outcast Jamie Cooper gets three surprise gifts. The first is the awakening of a long dormant power inside her; she is an incomplete size-shifter, with a near limitless talent for shrinking whatever she wants, but a total inability to grow a thing or restore anything shrunken. The second is an unexpected first meeting with a new transfer student on their first day of sixth form school, with whom she falls in love. The third are nightmarish visions of a sadistic, remorseless size-shifter with an obsession for cannibalism and a power far greater than hers. As the year goes on, the small town of Vorford is hit by a series of sudden disappearances, giving rise to fears of a serial killer within it. Faced with constant internal and outward struggles, Jamie must decide between her morals or her desires, pushing her into a final shattering choice everyone's lives depend on. ***** [Word Count: 110,000] **THIS IS A FIRST DRAFT FORMAT, AND IS 100% ORIGINAL CONTENT WORK, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.

I Will Follow You Into the Dark
This story had a beginning. But we're no longer at the beginning of the story. Instead, we join a story that's already in progress--one that has evolved over time without the benefit of our watching its events unfold. Given the fact that we're jumping in in the midst of things, we must try to understand what is happening right now and then look to the characters to help us discern what has already occurred. Understanding is important because we must join the ride and follow the sad story to its conclusion. This story is a emotional rollarcoaster. FYI this fic is borrowed from @Tapatalk.
