Karina, Rachel, and the siblings Seven and Sophia are four travelers looking to answer one looming question. How is an island capable of making somebody go insane? Karina has been wondering about this for the last ten years ever since her mother committed suicide after visiting the island with her research team. Meeting the other survivors seems almost too good to be true so naturally, Karina befriends them with hopes that they will help her unfold the mysteries of the island. She finds herself on a journey of discovering herself and the truths of those who surround her, but will she find out the true answer to her question? The "truth" may not always be what it seems.
The beginning of this story explores the tragedies that accompany each of our main characters and their journeys to the island before breaking into one singular point of view that will carry readers throughout the rest of its entirety.
I would also like to note that this is an ongoing piece of work and will be updated weekly, if not twice a week. All constructive feedback is welcomed and encouraged as it will be used to further engage readers and get an idea of what everyone expects out of the story. I love hearing reader theories and how you expect everything to unfold, so feel free to share!

Runners
They balance each-other out. One the calm, the other the storm. Except when they don't. Except when she loses it and makes the place burn...literally.

The twins are in for a crazy ride, but they're in it together. Always. Pinky promise. Will it be enough? TW: abuse, SA, r*pe, and mature language/scenes.

Now, the girls are struggling to protect themselves in the series of events that unfolds- but how can they survive when the person they tried to protect is dead?Complete

Perish
They were split apart as children. Reunited by force. Bound by secrets no one dares to name. At seven, Elisha was dropped into the foster care system, cold beds, colder hands, cut off from her twin sister and older brothers without explanation. Aurora stayed behind, raised by a mother who sold her body and a stepfather who promised to come back and never did. Eight years pass. The brothers return, dragging both girls into a home that barely feels like theirs. But this isn't a reunion, it's a collision. Elisha hides her trauma behind silence and sharpened edges, a hidden fire in her. Aurora masks hers with perfection, hunger, and a constant need to be chosen. Neither of them talks about the past. Neither of them knows how. Love simmers in forbidden places. Truths unravel in dangerous ways. And while the family tries to rebuild, they do so blindly, each of them hiding pieces of the story that might save the others, or destroy them. This isn't about healing. It's about surviving what no one else sees and what happens when survival isn't enough. Until everyone perishes. *Includes a good amount of smut.

Becoming Her Dark Side
They lied to me. My own family. My so-called friends. All of them hiding the truth, that we're tied to the criminal underworld, a forte where my family, the Storms, are the undisputed kings. Then everything falls apart. My dad gets framed. My cousin ends up dead. And the boy I've had a childhood crush on-Nathaniel-turns out to be the one who could destroy me. At least Luke, the one person I shouldn't want, fights to keep me from breaking... but even he has secrets. But it's gets even worse, because now an organization is rising from the shadows, an organization that opposes everything my family stands for. And in a family of warmongers and sociopaths, I stood out as a glaring weakness. The most normal, the most vulnerable, and the most efficient way to end a dynasty that has ruled for centuries. Because what is a throne without an heir, and a crown without its king. So here I am, stuck in a game of blood and betrayal where the only way to survive is to stop being the fragile girl they thought I was. If I have to burn bridges, spill blood, and embrace the monster inside me, then so be it. Because this time, I'm not running from my darkness. I'm becoming it.
