On the night of August 9th, 2014, a body of 19 year old Marceline D. Benavidez is found in a small thick just beside a suburbs street in small town New Basurto, Texas.
The witnesses/suspects of the crime state that while driving down the street at 9:30 pm at around 45 miles an hour a young woman had run infront of the car- causing the witness to steer straight into the side of the road. Worried they may have killed the woman, they called the town's sherif to help investigate and try to find any injured victim in the area, only to discover the body of Marcy.
The thing is, that young woman they had encountered was Marceline. She saw everything.
This story entails a young woman's journey to finding her memories and recollecting her mind to solve her murder, with help of course.
[The tags to the story (the mature warning, more specifically) will not pretain to sexual writing, the story itself is a mystery novel- the warning is there for language, and mature themes such as murder and various other crimes.]

The Tether : Tale of a Restless Soul
Amanda Fulwood has always felt out of place. Since she can remember, she was never capable of distinguishing the real from the fake, her mind constantly questioning whether she lived what she remembered or if it was just an outstanding dream. There's always this voice in her head, this coldness so sudden whenever she comes back to it. As bone-chilling as the air in a morgue, the feeling never fails to keep her up at night. It only got worse over the years, her visions turning more and more vivid, constantly wandering further away from this realm every time. Living in a small town has its perks, especially when you're the mayor's daughter, but it also comes with a handful of disadvantages. Her reputation as the local nut-job precedes her, and when she's found naked on the school football field, it only furthers their assumptions. Once caged and once freed, Amanda still struggles with the reality she is to face, one where just maybe, she really is insane. Or maybe, her mind is the keeper of something darker, sinister even. For the small town of Milton Oaks, crime is a non existent hassle. So when Amanda's memories seem to correlate with the events of the darkest nights in town history, she's left with a mystery on her hands. One that holds all the explanations she craved, for all the years plagued by those thoughts. But going down that route is a path of no return. Once Pandora's box has been opened, there's no closing it back. Among all the questions Amanda has, the only one that is hers to answer is, "Can she handle it?" Read the book and find out😉

Crescent City Sins

There was only one person she had ever told the truth about her determination to head south. Her childhood friend Anna. All her life, she'd dreamt of New Orleans. The old world charm mingled with the lights of the city, swaying together like two lovers embraced. It was more than just the fascination, Marion felt drawn to it like a familiar voice beckoning her to return home. The dreams over the years had been vivid. Often, she'd awaken to the spice of a hot gumbo still lingering on the corners of her mouth. When tragedy struck the summer after high school graduation, Marion locked herself away in the basement of her parents' home. Then, one last dream sent her spiraling over the edge. It was now a year after the accident, and she halfhazardly packed her bags. No amount of dreams could have prepared her for the fate awaiting her in the crescent city.Concluida

The Secret (Watty Award Winner) | ✔️
THANK YOU, Wattpad, for the HQ Love Watty Award! Concept: A mysterious young woman flees from her troubled past only to discover it is impossible to escape THE SECRET that haunts her. *PLEASE NOTE: This story was originally inspired by the movie "Sleeping With the Enemy". * * * * * "I would never, Steven," she promised, turning away from him in an attempt to protect herself. "I know you wouldn't," he screamed. Cupping her chin in his hand, he forced her to look at him. "Because I would kill you." His words hung heavy in the air. Sarah's heart sank into her stomach. No matter how many times she'd heard the menacing phrase, she could never get used to it. It had the same affect on her as the first time he'd thrown the ugly words in her face. The familiar sting of bile rose in her throat, and she knew she would deplete the contents of her stomach once she was locked in the safety of their master bath. 'If I make it through this time,' she agonized. Her biggest fear was that one day he would really lose his temper with her. Who knew what would happen then? *This story is an unedited first draft.

IMPORTANT UPDATE: HIATUS Love, in its most twisted form, can unleash a maelstrom of darkness, compelling people to engage in heinous acts. When the heart is sullied by the shadows and the lips are stained with the blood of innocence, the only remaining solace is the frenzied passion that has consumed the soul. This unyielding, all-consuming mania, this addiction that defies cure, becomes the sole purpose in life, subjugating everyone else to its unforgiving, icy grasp. .......................................

Rascals
A story of a runaway heartbeat and the found family it dragged along. They move from place to place-half-lost, half-chosen-chasing quiet, hiding from the noise. It started with one girl trying to outrun the truth her family fed her, and grew into a mismatched group of escapees: her best friend, a boyfriend, two internet ghosts, and later, the ones who took the place of those who left. But people don't always stay. Sometimes they leave with a note. Sometimes they don't say anything at all. And sometimes... they come back. What happens when someone you loved left you for what they thought was your good-only to return when the damage's been done? What happens when grief makes room for someone new? And how do you know when the road you're running is finally home? --- Content Warning: •Themes of death, grief, abandonment •Found family & trauma bonding •Emotional and psychological triggers •Intimate/suggestive scenes (light smut)Concluida
