The conductor shrugged. "Still got a ticket, so you got a seat on th' train whether you like it or not. I don' make the rules."

"...Yeah, sure," Adrian agreed hesitantly. "But... where does it go?"

"Where does she go?" the man scoffed, looking back at Adrian. "Where does she go? She goes the same place she always goes. She goes to Scylla House."

-----

After a video gone wrong during a trip to London with his best friend's family, Adrian finds himself at a lonely train station that seems to be on the edge of the abyss, with a one-way ticket to some place called Scylla House. But the castle is dangerous, and it too hangs between the world Adrian knows and nowhere. With monsters prowling the shadowy halls, and a motley crew of allies, Adrian must find his way back home -- unless the beast in the basement gets him first.All Rights Reserved

Rapture by athenamaddox

When Finn wakes up on a pirate ship with no memory, the last thing he expects is to get involved with the dangerous and alluring Captain North. ***** Stuck on a notorious pirate ship with no memories and an injured foot, Finn is as sure of his future as he is his past. Fate has set him in the path of the lawless Imo Gen crew. Finn can't remember how he got there or why, but what he does know is that Captain North saved his life, and he might just be the most handsome man he's ever met. Things get even more dangerous when he discovers that he has a very expensive bounty placed for his capture-and he's not the only one who knows about it. Captain North's brother is looking for Finn with orders from the nobility, but as far as Captain North is concerned, Finn is his, and no one, not even his brother, can take that from him.

Sleeping Roses by RenaFreefall

Kilan is on the run. From men he knows all too well in a forest he does not know well enough. And running into that tree didn't help. But when he wakes up, the forests are the least of his concerns. Kilan finds he has stumbled upon a castle, hidden deep in the woods, filled with servants and young masters who feel like they might just be more then they seem. And there are the thorns. Thousands upon thousands of thorns that cover the grounds and yet only cover one tower - why? And what about the dreams? The girl in the rose room? She seems so real, almost familiar, and yet he can only see her when he sleeps within the castle walls. She isn't there and he has not the time for a Sleeping Beauty. He has other things to contend himself with, in reality - in the waking world. His most prized possession is gone. A story book that means the world to him is lost within the forests - or worse, someone has their hands on it. Above all, it must be found, he has no time for a girl in dreams and the curse placed upon her - he writes fairy tales, he does not live them. He must find the book and be away from the strange Rose Castle. But someone has already noted his presence and has taken an interest in him. An interest one would not wish for. ~~~~~~ (Please Note: These books link but it is NOT ESSENTIAL that you read them in order - they stand alone as well as link together) The Rose Quartet Reading Order: Beauty and The Beast: http://w.tt/1wczujq Sleeping Beauty The Frog Prince: http://w.tt/1KphNHL Little Red Riding Hood: http://w.tt/1PBaNbs ~~~~ Cover picture by: Selene Regener Check them out: http://selenada.deviantart.com/

Thistle in the Sky | #NONC2022 | ✔ by SmokeAndOranges

❖ ''ZF 16 Ariomma to unknown vessel. Please identify yourself. Over.'' ❖ Farah and Kazem are twins working aboard the Ariomma, a trading airship that sails the edges of a flat world. Out here is a frontier far from civilization: a place known as the Tideless, where water lifts from the surface of the sea, and great creatures rise with it. Only some of them are known. This is not a sailing path known for its safety, but the crew of the Ariomma have rarely feared their work. That is, until they find the carcass of another ship hanging in the Tideless, decimated by an unknown enemy. Soon, their flight to safety becomes a fight for their lives, as the monster turns its attention on the Ariomma... and them. ❖❖❖ Written for #NONC2022, a community-run novella festival operating in parallel with Wattpad's 2022 Open Novella Contest. Complete. Marked mature for violence and other dark themes. Comments and critiques are both welcome and appreciated. I write characters from many different backgrounds, with many different experiences. If you share those traits and find that I have misrepresented anything, please let me know! I am feedback-friendly and here to learn :)

The Abandoned Greenhouse by Edalynblue

Despite never meeting her mother's family, Ginny has heard stories of them. Of the old secluded house they have inhabited for hundreds of years. Of their weird naming practices and weird dislike for strangers. Although what she hadn't heard about was the family curse that runs through her veins. Now that her family has to move into that house, Ginny wonders if she is turning crazy or maybe, just maybe, a new dangerous world is waiting to be discovered.

Nonsensland by DeadBloom_Stories

Nonsensland, an unreachable place filled with other dimensional monsters, all of whom would immediately kill any innocent within their grasp. Or at least, that's what Alex was told. But when the boy lets his curiosity get the best of him, he finds out there is so much more to the mystical world. Humans seem to have gotten every bit of information wrong. At least, with the creatures of Nonsensland. Still wary of the dangers of these other dimensional creatures, and of the fact that he has no idea what he's doing, mostly because the Nonsenslandians keep reminding him, Alex lets himself find out every bit of information about the place, with the help of a couple experts. Unfortunately for him and the other dimensionals however, the ODCC still want in on Nonsensland's secrets, and are willing to find their answers by any means necessary, even if it means forcing them out of the so called 'monsters' they've managed to trap. But Alex and his team have this under control, even when they're trapped too, everything should turn out alright, right?

I stepped inside before they shut the door, handing them the bag as I shivered. "You're telling me. At least it's very warm in here." "Mhm," Isa frowned and placed their hand on my lower back to guide me through the castle. "Come on, let's get you warmed up. [Y/N]... There's something you should know before you see Hunter - I know that's another reason you're here."
