My name is Delilah Sadler. I'm twenty-two. I was a music student.

Then the sky flickered-and everyone disappeared.

Now it's just me, the silence, and these pages. I don't know what I'm looking for. But I write it anyway.

When the Stars Remembered by AshferanidaHerman

They say the stars used to sing. Not in words, but in pulses of light-glimmering songs that stitched the sky together like lullabies spun in gold. Each constellation was a memory, each flicker a feeling, each falling star a promise whispered across lifetimes. Back then, the night sky was alive. And so were the hearts that remembered it. But the stars are silent now. Their voices lost to the wind. Their names scattered across forgotten skies. Their light dimmed beneath centuries of silence. The world moved on. Kings fell. Empires crumbled. Lovers turned to dust. And the stars blinked out, one by one, until the heavens became nothing more than a quiet canvas-pretty, but empty. Or so they thought. In a lighthouse on the edge of the world, a girl watches the sea and feels something stir. She does not know why she wakes with stardust in her hair. She does not know why her dreams are made of fire and falling light. She does not know that she once burned brighter than the moons. Her name is Lyra. She has lived seventeen years in silence. But the stars have not forgotten her. One of them is already falling. A boy carved from light and memory. A soul who has searched through centuries to find her again. And when he lands, the sky will remember. And the stars will begin to sing.

The Last Letter by Juhriyaa

Hi, I'm Jas ✨ I'm a writer who loves mystery, romance, and a touch of the supernatural. When I'm not writing, you'll probably find me sipping lavender tea, admiring spooky artwork, or walking in the park dreaming up my next story. 🌧️ Want to listen instead of read? I narrate my stories in a cozy audiobook style with rain sounds on my YouTube channel: 👉 Whispers by Jas - https://www.youtube.com/@WhispersbyJas 📖 New chapters of The Last Letter post every Tuesday & Thursday here on Wattpad (and on YouTube). Thank you for supporting my stories - it means the world! 💕 In the fog-soaked town of Ravenmoor, secrets linger longer than the mist. When seventeen-year-old Selene Carter stumbles across a stash of old letters hidden inside Blackwood Manor, she laughs off the warnings scribbled in faded ink. "Whoever reads this will fall in love... and die in thirty days." But when her classmate Adrian Vega accidentally opens one, he falls for Selene overnight-and his days are suddenly numbered. As the curse spreads and Ravenmoor's tragic history resurfaces, Selene and her best friend Naomi race to uncover the truth behind the letters' original writer: Evelyn Blackwood, a ghost who has been waiting a century for her revenge. With Adrian's life ticking away like ink bleeding across a page, Selene must decide how far she's willing to go for love-and whether breaking the curse will cost her everything. ✉️ Would you die for love... or die because of it?

Can You Hear Me Now by CemiJade0607

She lived inside circles. Of thought. Of circuitry. Of silence. Subject C-4-L-1-X was calibrated to remain unknown-until her mind spiraled outward and touched something in the static. Now the signals blur. Reality loops. And her name isn't the only one echoing beneath the surface. There are frequencies no one should hear. And hers has already been remembered. The frequency is unstable. The layers are not quiet. She was never the echo. She was the origin.

Hey Delilah by Poiesis_Naomi

Delilah moves from New York to a school where the fake popular kids claim her as their own. Making it impossible to make real friends. It isn't until she gets partnered with the mute boy for an assignment that she finally makes a real connection. She makes it her mission to get to now him. Although he doesn't want to be known. He's scared that once she gets to know him she'll leave like everyone else. But what they both don't expect is that music has a way of bringing people together. This book is a dual POV. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "That's incredible. You're incredible." My eyes widen and I look into her eyes again. A blush makes a way to her face and I can tell she didn't mean to say that last part out loud. But she did. And I can't stop myself from taking what she said to heart. It's been a long time since anyone has said anything remotely close to that to me. I can't let it get to me. I can't get used to it. Being hopeful. The higher you rise, the farther you fall. "Do you think you could make a song I can sing to?" She asks me timidly. I hesitate to say no. If I say no then she might spiral again. This is her hope. Her light to the darkness. She finally has something to look forward to and to distract her. As I mull over it I see the hope in her eyes dwindle. She doesn't expect me to say yes. "Okay," I whisper.

Delilah by Willow_Blue159

Decades ago, the world came to a halt as humanity knew it. Wars spurred the worldwide deathrates to a new high, businesses closed, and much of the new technology stopped working altogether. As if life could not get much worse for the surviving humanity that was left, creatures of the night came forth from the shadows, ready to claim what was left of the world's society and kill those who opposed the new regimen. However, all of this was unknown to a young woman you lived with her small family in a quiet town, hidden from the chaos of the outside world. The young woman who lived in this town was called Delilah, and this is her story. Please note that this book is a slow-burn. Yes, there is romance. Yes, like my characters you may be left wanting more. Good stuff takes time, give this book a try. Additionally, I started writing this book while I was fresh out of High School, I am now a junior in college. While the writing was not necessarily bad, it has improved greatly with the more recent chapters. Please keep in mind that as you read and you're thinking to yourself "this grammar sucks," it will eventually get better. #8 in dystopian- 12/21/2025 #2 in castle- 12/22/2025 #3 in beast- 12/22/2025 #7 in human- 12/31/22025

Werewolf In The Woods by FoodFreshy

"Darling." He smirked and eyed my lips. "Promises can be broken." "I don't break promises," I aimed to assure. "I know because I know you." He stretched his palm to caress my chin and this time, I didn't flinch. "How?" I croaked. "Because I've watched you." His hand moved to brush my hair away from my face. "I know about your schedule, when you sleep, how you like your tea, how you interact with strangers, even down to the kind of shampoo you use." He is a stalker, get away from him! My subconscious screamed at me Instead of me to do that, I did the opposite by asking. "Why, do you know all these?" He simply chuckled and inched his face closer, we stared into each other's eyes for what felt like a decade before he shifted to my ear and whispered. "Because you are my mate." ^^^^^^^^^^^^ Tanya Marie Andre. A female writer who has read many werewolf books but never believed them to be real. Diego Dante Domino.

Blackout. [COMPLETED] by evemaym

A person's life is shaped and moulded around their history and their future. Their memories and secrets create the person that they are, and their hopes and dreams create the person that they are destined to be. But what if you had no memories or secrets, no hopes or dreams.

Imagine if you had to find out who you were, where you were, and what your purpose was, and then try to live a normal life, despite not even knowing your own name. You're about to read the story of a girl who plans to do exactly that, before she has another blackout.

There are few survivors of what the remaining have started to call the end of the world. The Apocalypse. Few who are still brave or scared of death enough to face the torture that is living. I am one of those survivors. Book One of the Snow Series Highest ranking: #3 in Sci-Fi Watty's Shortlisted
