"Day-Day, do you think it'll all be back to normal when we get home?" Asked my little sister Alesha. "Nothing will ever be the same anymore, after what happened, not even I'll be the same," I reply as a tear trickles down her right cheek. "And it's not over yet, there's more to come, this IS the new normal." A slight smirk stretches across her face, forming cresses under her blue eyes.
"Your funny, of course, it's over, you killed them, remember?" She says giggling. Oh crap, I forgot I didn't tell her that they weren't dead! I look her in the eyes, seeing the instance, the slight spark of hope. I tried as hard as possible to make it look like I killed them, but I'm a terrible liar. So I grab her hand, squees it, and pull her inside. "It's getting late, common."

Not The Last {Rough Draft}
~Thank you for the continued love for this series! I was 13 when I began this book, and am now taking the time to go back to completely rewrite it, and maybe just publish someday~ I'm 15 and my name is Astrix. Let's start with that. That seems like an easy thing to start with. Now, let me add in some other details. I live in a zombie apocalypse. Yeah, that's about as enjoyable as I can make it seem. Now let me add in something else. I'm wanted by the CIA for reasons that I don't even know, but I guess I will find out eventually. Maybe somewhere within my story I will figure it out. I'm well known as The Bad Ass for reasons that are kind of obvious once you meet me. Maybe that's why they're after me? Because I'm a Bad Ass? Nope, I doubt that. Well anyways, the answers are out there. Along with the answers to my past. The answer to life even. Maybe it really is 42 but I don't think it would hurt to start looking at one. So here we go. Chapter one. Book 1 *Being completely rewritten, final product will not be put on Wattpad, but hopefully go to print* **Highest Rating--#44 in Adventure**Complete
The Virus Within (Original rough draft)
Back by popular request! The 2017 rough draft of The Virus Within! (Caution: Contains massive plotholes that were fixed in the polished The Virus Within Series. Grammar issues are present, particularly missing commas.) What do you do when you are one of the infected? The virus in my blood is trying to steal my humanity. It alters my very thoughts and reactions. It taunts me by tempting me with desires that it planted in my brain. These bloodthirsty desires would lead to my demise if I ever gave in. I have more in common with the zombies than with humans at this point. Even the fallen zombies accept me as one of their own. Blood is required to retain my grip on sanity, but the sweet-smelling blood from humans is a short path to madness. Human blood is to be avoided at all costs. Humankind around the world was driven close to extinction by the sudden appearance of the zombies, yet small groups of survivors constantly manage to appear and put my control to the test. -------------------------- This is a standalone zombie book. It has nothing to do with A Different Virus. I wanted to try a book with an easily irritated main character and a nutcase secondary character. This book has a slightly darker outlook at the beginning than my usual stories, but it has some humor further along. Definitely not a horror story, although it has its share of action. 4 updates a week: Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday! Copyright April 2017. All Rights Reserved.

My eyes were literally glowing, there was no mistaking it. It was not a reflection of light, or any of the other excuses I had used or others had assumed. They were glowing a light sapphire blue color. It was not a bright glow, but it was definitely a glow. Glowing eyes were not normal. Okay, at this point I had to admit it, I was no longer normal. What was I then? For that, I had no answer [[Word count: 495,000]] Copyright August 2016. All Rights Reserved. Readers may not copy, alter, or steal this story.

Love³
"What fucking boyfriends?" She shouted. "The twins." "You really are so fucking quick to judge. Who the fuck told you we were in a relationship? I never played you, you idiot. I fucking like you." "They were the ones telling me you were theirs." I said and she laughed darkly. "I will fucking kill them. We are nothing! And you? Are you that of a coward that didn't have the balls to come to me? I told you things I never told anyone, I let you sleep under the same roof as my family. I can do horrible things Zack, but if I was just fooling you l wouldn't put my family into the mix. You know what? Do whatever the fuck you want." She said. She turn her back to me and started walking away, but when my brain registered her words, I reacted. She likes me, they are not together and that's all I need to know, I put my hand on her shoulder and turned around, she opened her mouth to protest but I didn't give her a chance. I slammed my lips on hers and plunged my tongue inside her mouth, kissing her hard, fast, softly, and roughly. I kissed how I've been wanting to kiss her since I saw the first photo of her and the best part? She kissed back with the same intensity.Complete
Night Disease
REVISED EDITION COMING OUT MONTHLY/COMPLETED In a world overrun by zombies, A single bite heralds doom, except for Kaindra, who defies death itself, being undead already. ******** As humanity struggles to adapt to the new reality of zombie-infested streets and lurking supernatural creatures from ancient myths and legends, survival becomes an ever-evolving challenge. Survival is a constant battle not only against the undead but also against supernatural creatures and their zealous followers. The relentless onslaught of zombies and the mysterious reemergence of mythical beings push society to its limits. Civilization's last bastions fall one by one, teetering on the brink of collapse. As these ancient myths awaken, they reveal intentions that are far from clear- some may hold the key to salvation, while others could herald further doom. The question remains: Can humanity unravel the mysteries of these legendary beings in time to save themselves, or will they fall prey to the very legends they once dismissed? ___ Excerpt: Taking a deep breath, I lean closer to the mirror, my skin prickling. I thought it was a trick of the light, but as I stare at my reflection, my fragile lies crumble away. The reflection staring back at me feels unrecognizable. My once deep, dark brown eyes now glimmer with an otherworldly light, like twin moons suspended in a sea of silver. The faint glow within them swirls softly, catching the dim flicker of flame I summoned, like ripples across a moonlit lake. Their alien intensity sends a chill down my spine. The orbs seemed to hold a universe within, depths of endless mysteries and ancient wisdom beyond my grasp. ___ Warning: Mentions of suicide and self-harm Beautiful cover made by @scmimi.

It'll only be within the time spent with the new group will she find out that everything's not as happy and welcoming as it had seemed.

*this story is under MAJOR revisions, as of 7.18.23 some parts of this story will be changing, I don't want to take this story down completely so I won't be. There might be a couple discrepancies in the plot once I start, not many and the story will still make sense. Just simple things like switching between first and third point of view. THE STORY WILL STILL MAKE SENSE! It is still good, I just want to make it better, simple as that. I don't know when I will finish, but it can only go up from here.* My name is Tessa Stilinski.
