Once united by investigative games and teenage defiance, Ruby and her friends had a secret phrase - 'Non ducor, duco', a Latin mantra translating as 'I'm not led, I lead.' It was their beacon of rebellion against Asheville, their eerie town pervaded by a peculiar blend of religious fanaticism and occult practices. Amidst the townsfolk's growing obsession with their Lord, the mantra gave them courage, forging a brotherhood.

Their group's anchor was the charismatic and fiercely independent Miles Prescott, Ruby's first love. But one fateful October night of 2005, Miles disappeared, leaving the heart of their secret club empty and their lives severely altered.

Countless theories shared in hushed tones, but Miles was nowhere to be found. The town declared him dead. Unable to bear the tormenting uncertainty, Ruby left Asheville and any hope behind.

Thirteen years later, she receives a letter that disrupts her fragile peace. The message is cryptic, merely a location, "Our wooden cabin," a date, "8th of May," and a name, "Miles."All Rights Reserved

Rules to Feeling Lonely by LoveForPie7

Alone. A simple word that has always held many meanings to Ella, and starting her senior year at a new high school, solitude had seemed the easiest way to go. A week passed, bland and unnoticed, before her plans quickly get thrown overboard. Losing one of her most priced possessions, she finds herself making a rather simple deal with someone from school. His name, for her book. There's only one little problem; she has no idea who this person is. Laughs and tears, friends and heartbreak, and the past that comes knocking on the door. Ella faces it all as she takes on the search to find her secret admirer. ___________________ "I can't believe him after the texts, the letter, the flowers. All these months and he just tells me 'we'll talk later'", I told him, feeling absolutely frustrated. I am so damn stupid, thinking this was gonna be something special or whatever. "It isn't him", he suddenly spoke and I just rolled my eyes. He doesn't even know what he's talking about, the imbisile. "It is, you don't even know what you're talking about so shut up", I cried out, walking forth and back for the hundredth time. "Listen, I do and it isn't him", he yelled this time and I stopped walking, angrily turning to him. Can he stop just pissing me off even more? "Oh yeah? And how are you so sure?" "Because it's me"

Verboten/FORBIDDEN by BonBraLove

"If I will be given a chance to save him, I will do everything. Even if it costs my life." Is it forbidden to love someone you once had? The person you once shared your feelings with is now married. Is it real? Is it the only reason why Scion run away without even saying a word, not even 'goodbye'? Wait, how and why did I met him in the first place? Why did I like his guts and turned to love? Was he even worth the love I have? Sovran, his best friend is worthy but I believe he is too much because he's too good for my stubborn heart. "If you need me, I'll be there because I care. You can cry on my shoulder as longer as you can." Sovran is always there all the time waiting in front of our school to take me to places he feels nice for me. I dated some guys just to forget him, to move on and to heal my broken heart. Escaping from this mess is too hard for me to do. The effort I did was too much that I have broken myself by flirting, enjoying parties and studying. No matter what I do, I always look for that idiot Scion who is always hot later cold and keeps on annoying me that he would even embarrass me for expecting. "Do you think I could kiss you? You're not hot enough to deserve me." He will laugh and mocks me hard. I thought he is evil and cold in touch but I have seen the truth, the real Scion behind him. "I won't do anything that we will both regret. Even if you force me, I won't give in." He held me in his arms soaked in the tub until the drug has passed out. I have loved the two sides of him and if I will be given a chance to save him, I will do everything. Even if it costs my life. Highest rank: #19 in adventure and #1 in AGWRITINGWARDS by January 2019

Brave Enough To Love Again by CalliopeBlythe

I stood with my back to her, shielding her, and my murderous eyes stared down at the poor excuse of a man, promising unimaginable pain if he dared to move or even flinch. The enormity of control it took me to suppress the impulse to eradicate the piece of scum, who dared to even think about laying a hand on a woman, was inconceivable. My whole body was trembling with rage. The guy was intimidated by the fury in my eyes and stumbled back to his intoxicated friends who were too dazed to understand the situation. I was disappointed and relieved at the same time that the chaos didn't end in a fist fight. When I turned around to console her, she was gone. And as I looked around, I saw her back just leaving the bar through the entrance. I hurried out to follow her. She walked ahead of me aimlessly and disoriented like a wounded animal that had just escaped the claws of death. My heart ached for her. I found a kindred soul in her. She evidently had been wounded in the past. Just like me. But in an even worse way than I had been hurt, and it angered me, that someone had dared to harm her. *** Eden Marie Simmons is still recovering after escaping an abusive relationship when she meets Keane, the broody and enigmatic neighbor who is shrouded in mystery. Both are still being haunted by their past and are not ready for a new commitment, but when fate repeatedly puts them in each other's paths, they can't deny their attraction for each other. Life challenges them both with secrets, lies, and broken trusts, and confronts them with their pasts. They both must learn to be brave enough to love again. *** Story is previously called "Paradise Lies"
