Stories say that the Witch rained curses down on Devil's Corner, that she made the woods grow strange and wild, made shadows leap and dance and snatch up stray children for supper. In a small town on the edge of a dangerous forest, stories are never in short supply, and they are held dearer than truth.

Thea lost her hand to the things that live in the wood, and she can't shake loose the voice that lured her there. But her Pa fed her tales of magic and heroes, and promises that even the darkest things have hearts. When her brother is attacked by the Witch's gruesome creations, Thea breaks into her cottage, determined to save him from a fate she knows all to well. Because in Devil's Corner, stories are true, and Thea knows the greatest one of all: the only way to break a curse, is to kill the witch.

The boy in the garden от chocolatechocobean20

" Stay". " pardon me". I said. Not in that rude English manner but out of surprise. " just for a little longer. Could you stay. Come intro the garden with me ". he said. An enchanted garden, a tale that exceeds time. Join the boy who loves a girl he mustn't love and a girl love a ghost she doesn't fully understand. A romance in a thriller. Who exactly is the silhouette and why does he have no parents or never leave the old white picket fence of his house. For the longest time. Since I can remember, the only thing I was ever good at was writing stories or telling them. It's the only thing that got me through the day or even for the majority of high school. This story ' the boy in the garden' was inspired by a house I found one day coming back from school. The story is my narration of what I think could have happened to the house and inspired by a former crush I had when I was in the 9th grade. I hope you enjoy it .

Grasp Heart от FaeSparks

Sara Luzio has always known that it is her duty to safeguard humanity from the creatures that lurk in the shadows. For two millennia, her magical family-line upheld the balance between the natural and supernatural. But when her clan perishes in the line of duty, Sara is forced to continue their legacy alone. On top of navigating her grief and trauma, Sara realizes her supposed safehouse is right down the street from the same breed of danger that murdered her loved ones. Vampires. In response to a rash of murders in the local parks, Sara rises to the challenge. Yet, unlike their bloodthirsty kin, these vampires exhibit a curious sense of... humanity. Despite her instincts screaming for her to be wary, Sara is drawn to the coven. In particular, a copper-haired vampire with a half-cocked smile who seems just as intrigued by her as she is distrustful of him. The longer she researches the coven, the more she finds herself questioning everything she thought she knew about vampires. Despite fear as a constant companion, Sara must decide whether to follow her heart or her hunter's instincts. Her journey will challenge her preconceptions, ignite forbidden passions, and force her to consider what it truly means to be human. *New chapters every other Friday.*

CURSED [Editing] от 2607_sweety

Five cousins choose to spend their summer break in a village called Ravenwood where they are to reside in a cabin surrounded by nothing but woods and secrets for at least two weeks. Not only this, the village and the cabin have a dark past of its own...and present too. The latter one quite literally since the devil has itself decided to lurk the hallways of their cabin leaving them to choose between their own survival and each other's. Bloodshed, demons, ghosts, murders, gore and superstitions with tiny bits of romance, friendships and family love: CURSED is a mixture of all the kinds of emotions and genres you can think of. ******* Bang bang! I stood up from the water slowly and steadily trying not to trip and picked up the towel, wrapping myself in it immediately. The water was dripping wherever I went and with my back at the door, I frantically stepped backwards and reached the doorknob from behind, turning it to the left to open, all while not letting my eyes stray away from the window. I turned and turned, but it didn't open. My eyes went wide when realisation struck in. I WAS TRAPPED. I rattled through my brain, trying to find a way, trying to think how I can keep fighting because no matter what the situation is, still I didn't want to lose, my eyes stuck on the redness of the thing on my window. The bathroom was on the second floor. There was no way, it was a person; and that's what scared me the most. And then suddenly, I heard a click. ******** [This story contains explicit language and gory details. Read at your own risk.] Top Ranks: #3 in cabininthewoods #1 in adolescene

But the more Ellette gets to know the intriguing, young wolf, the more reluctant she is to let him go. And letting him go would certainly be in her best interest.

The Ghosts of Melbrew [1/12] от LillianRS

BOOK NUMBER 1 OF 12 IN THE MULTIMAGICAL SERIES BY LILLIAN R.S. ☆☆☆ Emeline Orman was sixteen when she and her parents moved across the country to the coastline of Washington state. A small town known as Melbrew sat comfortably in the middle of thick woods, so tiny and unknown that it doesn't show up on any maps, making it the perfect spot for malicious activity to go unnoticed. On her first day of school, she met some rather weird people, who all shared a strange similar interest. This little group had quite the reputation for their knowledge of the town's not-so-secret dark history... as well as all of the unusual things that have been reported to them. It all started with the rich Humphrey family tragedy back in the 1800s, where for years it has been speculated that the mother killed her husband and children. Being very eager to get to the bottom of all the town's mysteries, one thing leads to another as discovery after discovery begins to pile up, ranging from random holes in the ground, to suspicious buildings in the middle of the woods. Secret doors, tunnels, and books that talk about nonsense seem like they lead nowhere, with no connections! Though perhaps the most mysterious oddity of them all is the otherworldly gateway surrounded by old fences, tied back to the founding family. ☆☆☆ • CW: Strong language, murder, and gore • 34 Total Chapters! • Total Word Count: 142,450 • PLEASE NOTE: This book is part of a series! It is the first book of 12. • This book is not my final product! This is just my way of easily sharing it with family and friends! I plan to edit and get published someday. Feedback and thoughts are appreciated, positive or negative! I will go back and edit/change things. • For more information on the Multimagical Series, check my bio! ☆☆☆

Flickering Creatures | ONC 2024 Longlist | ✔︎ от SmokeAndOranges

When Bryony -- herbalist extraordinaire -- goes missing, Bella knows one suspect stands above the rest. The village's aspiring second witch, Daphne, comes from a family that's tried to take Bryony down before, and Daphne seems determined to carry on that legacy. For someone who's always been terrified of Bryony, she's a little too keen on looking into the disappearance. There's just one problem. Bella's insufferable fellow familiar thinks the kid is innocent... and he's been right about worse things before. If Daphne herself is to be believed, clues on the disappearance lead a whole lot closer to home than Bella would like. As the evidence mounts, Bella must choose to either stand by her values and the woman who raised her, or seek what might be a truth she would rather not uncover. Prompt #81: The town's witch has gone missing and no one is looking for her but her two familiars - a crow and a black cat, plus the teen who has always been scared of her. ❖❖❖ Written for Wattpad's 2024 Open Novella Contest. Longlister. Complete. Comments and critiques are both welcome and appreciated. I write characters from many different backgrounds, with many different experiences.

Haunted от JuliaCoffin

The dead typically want one of two things. Ghosts crave conversation. Spirits seek pain. My name is Bria, and I've been able to interact with the dead for as long as I can remember. Communicating with the deceased might sound like a cool gift, but let me assure you, it's not. Ghosts don't shut up, and not all specters are friendly. In fact, most of them are dangerous. Pretending the paranormal doesn't exist is far easier than talking to the shadows, so I've been avoiding the dead for years. Past experiences have led me to avoid the living too. And for a long time, I've successfully kept my distance. Until a single ghost encounter in the library ruins everything. Now a couple of my classmates know my secret. But as it turns out, they have a deadly secret of their own. Time to talk to the shadows again. _______________ This story contains profanity and violence. [ONC 2021 Shortlister]

Rising Powers от Sophia_Grace_Pearson

(74,890 words) The wind rushed past me as my wings beat against the night sky. I noticed a copse of trees up ahead. I slowed to a stop, talons clutching a low-hanging branch. I looked beyond the trees and a pair of glowing golden eyes met my own. Wolf eyes. My eyes widened in fear as I took off. I dodged the trees in my path, but one branch snapped on my wing. My vision blurred, pain lacing through my wing. I continued to flap my wings, clinging desperately to the notion I would make it out alive. More than one wolf was chasing me, their paws a staccato on the ground. They would catch up. They would devour me. I tried to stay in the air, but the pain was unbearable. I fell to the ground, fluttering down like a dead leaf. I snapped my eyes open. Breathing heavily, I sat up. My room shifted in and out of focus as my eyes adjusted. When I was little, my father always told me that dreams were just my imagination, that people were never chased by wolves, and people certainly could never be birds. Vera Stone is a seventeen-year-old girl who lives in a small Louisiana town by the bayou. Small, boring, where nothing ever happens. Or so she and her friends think. One night the hidden darkness surrounding their town and their lives comes to the surface. Will Vera and her friends figure out the secrets hidden through their town's history before it's too late?
