Promised a cure for her immortality, Petra joins a quirky crew without question. She should have asked questions.
	15 years ago she lost half her body in a totally avoidable accident in her father's non-IKEA-standard lab. He used the tissue-fusing serum he created to save her, but it left her with major confidence issues, pesky immortality, and a body that's 40% raw meat. Some people have the worst luck.
	With half a face and the body of a child zombie, she eventually runs out of options. When a profiteering scientist turns up with the serum she thought her father destroyed all those years ago, she's dragged into the middle of his villainous scheme by the ragtag team assembled to stop him. Mostly. Petra's just in it for the cure they're making. 
	Get the serum, make the cure, die. It's a simple plan. But things go south on their northwestern island when she witnesses a murder.All Rights Reserved

Home Isn't A Place by unforgettwble71

Home Isn't A Place. In a post-apocalyptic world infested with infected creatures that were once human, Wren Levy and her best friend Belle Rose survive the apocalypse. Or so we hope. They grow to adapt to the new circumstances and situation they must outlive. And although it's hard, friendship keeps their heads high. On a quest to find necessities and food, they run into another duo not quite as chaotic as them. Let's hope they beat the shit out of the upcoming events. //// "Okay, you go first." She gestured to the latch. I looked back at her, "why don't you go first?" "Because I'm older then you." By a month and a day... "Shouldn't that mean you go first, Miss responsibility." I smirked. There was a moment of silence between the two of us. This happens a lot, we just don't say anything, yet it says so much. "Just go before I shove you down." She laughed shoving me a little. I giggled and opened the latch, aiming my gun down, "it looks clear." I carefully climbed down the latter and aimed my gun immediately. "Any of you fuckers out here?" I asked, circling my vision around the hideout. "Is it good?" I heard Belle ask from inside. "Yes, you can come down your highness." I laughed, watching as she made her way down. "Thanks, peasant." She smirked. //// Just read it dude, it was fun to write since it's based off of me and my best friend.

ALPHA WAVE by cherrykel

When my parents kicked the bucket, I thought that was the universe's way of saying "screw you" to me. But little did I know, life had an even bigger "screw you" in store. Then one sunny summer day out of nowhere, the Infected appeared. And man, were they ugly. Feral, bloodthirsty, savage beasts that looked like they'd been hit with the ugly stick- no scratch that- the ugly tree one too many times. But fear not, for Phoenix Corp arrived on the scene, wielding their science skills like superheroes. They cooked up a cure that saved the day, rescued us from the Infected menace. Or so we thought.... Suddenly, everything I knew was turned on its head when Phoenix agents showed up at my door at midnight and demanded access. I never thought I'd find myself allied with the Infected, the very creatures I saw as my mortal enemy. It's like friends became foes and foes became friends, and I'm left questioning everything I ever believed. But hey, at least I've got a front-row seat to the apocalypse. It's a wild ride, and I'm strapped in for the long haul. Who knows what craziness is yet to come? Oh, did I mention the infected had mouthwatering abs? Oh boy... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Copyright law ... All rights reserved to CherryKel only.

The Fault In Our Flesh by RellySpams

In a disease-ridden world, infection doesn't always take your life. Sometimes, it takes everything else. Some survive still themselves and awaken powers that defy physics and nature. Others rot from the inside out, becoming ravenous things with minds shredded beyond repair. They are called Defects Noxious's greatest experiment. Lives broken and remade. Creatures engineered to obey, kill, and die... before ever living at all. Monica Subject Eight can reshape matter into anything she can imagine: barriers, weapons, walls that should not exist, and impossible constructs. She was meant to be nothing but a weapon... but she clings to hope like a blade, yet the more she uses her power to protect the people she cares for, the more Noxious tries to carve the humanity out of her. Kaito the Defect who can seize a mind like a fist around a throat and bend the world. whose power isn't measured in force, but in the silence of every mind he could take without leaving a mark, was the one person she allowed herself to trust. The one person who looked at her like there was more inside her than circuitry and purpose. Their bond was forged in captivity, guilt, and silent promises. The kind born of survival, not hope. But when Monica discovers the truth that Noxious is quietly eliminating the older Defects to replace them with "better" versions every fragile thing she ever believed in fractures. Friendship becomes a liability. Loyalty becomes a weapon. And love whatever broken shape it took becomes a target to be erased. To save the only people she has left, Monica must destroy the place that made her... and face the horror that she may never outrun what she was engineered to be. Not even for him. Not even for herself. If something is built broken... is there even a version of her worth saving? "Pain, fear, hate, hope, love, those are the bones and pieces of me. Remove one, and the whole thing collapses back into the empty obedient monster they designed."

THRONEFUL FRIENDSHIP by yah-rah

Friendship... It was a sweet lie... Game of trust and betrayal. So many emotions to conceal and cover. Not allowing to give up, it won't also let you survive. The story is about friendship of a group of young people who are on their way to build a shinning future. Their friendship was irreplaceable. Seven different personalities and viewpoints, but friendship brought them together. Unbreakable and ecstatic. However something is changing in their friendship. What's going on? [Two Years Later] "You changed so much! It's like I can even recognize you" "Thanks. All credits goes to you.I changed for surviving in the middle of these cruel monsters masked as sweet humans." "Are you even the girl who was my lovely friend?" "Were you even my friend?" Suddenly the person she used to love...That person, the reason why she ended up being so pitiful said,"Can you stop over reacting? It was just a misunderstanding." Overreacting? So all of her sufferings are overreacting? Bitterly looking at him, she said,"You really disgust me..I regret falling for you..It destroyed me.." *photo credit goes to it's owners*

Virulent by evacharya

[ONC 2023 SECOND PLACE WINNER | AMBASSADORS PICK 2023] An unwilling but gifted geneticist must find a way to safeguard humanity against the deadly pathogen she's forced to design or die trying. *** The planet's population is pushing past 11 billion and counting. With resources spread thin, widespread famine, and health systems crippled everywhere, the governments of the world are running out of ideas. Then a scientist proposes a controversial solution and the classified Project Rescue is born. But when the lead scientist on the project and his entire team mysteriously die, his young microbiology prodigy is brought into the secret government agency to take over where he left off. Ezra Mayur always hoped that her brilliance in pathogen studies would land her a secure job one day. This seems like a dream come true. Full food rations and safety for her struggling family, and a job in the field she is the most interested in. But the project is not quite what Ezra expected and her moral compass is tested when she has to choose between protecting her family or the world. *** PROMPTS that will make an appearance: 12. An evil sorcerer offers you an immense amount of power--but it comes with a price. (Modified: an evil corp offers you an opportunity of a lifetime, but it comes with a price.) 5. Flip the coin and make a life choice with it. Two choices, one coin, and no turning back. Do you dare?

You shouldn't have made me feel. by Ira_scribbler

She wasn't meant to love. She was meant to destroy. Azaira, the girl who whispered "we'll be fine" through broken teeth, becomes the goddess who commands oceans to burn. But when the Death Lord-her greatest enemy and oldest echo-claims her as his queen, the universe trembles between mercy and madness. He was born to end lives. She was born to awaken them. And between them stands a love that kills everything it touches. > "When Death begged the Life to stay." He calls her Queen of Death. She calls him the reason she bleeds. > "Because some feelings were never meant to be survived." A haunting tale of trauma, power, and the dangerous mercy of love. You Shouldn't Have Made Me Feel - where even Death kneels for the girl he ruined Dark, divine, and achingly human- this is the story of a girl who felt too much and paid the price with her soul. rankings - #34 - haunting #16 - cursed love #11 - deadlydesire #20 - traumabond #198 - toxiclove #892- strongfemalelead
