Author's notes:
This is my first written series, having done comics before, and is a work-in-progress. I have worked in the television industry, shot for indie-film, and am a fan of pseudohistory in fiction, wanting to explore my take while having some fun with it. I tend to go back and edit, so what gets read may receive minor changes later. Let me know how I can improve, and if you like it I'd be more than appreciative of any comments or a 'star' at the end of each chapter. Thank you!
Sincerely,
Lance

The Bad Boy's Influence
"You keep looking at me like you don't want me, Adeline," Will murmurs, his lips brushing against my jaw while hand slides higher on my bare thigh, slow and deliberate. "But your body says otherwise." My breath gets caught in my throat and my brain screams to say something, anything-but my lips won't move. "I..." I begin to say, but the words die before they even leave my lips the second his mouth touches my neck. ⊹₊⟡⋆ Adeline Serrano has a reputation to protect. Straight A's, flawless record, and the badge of honor that comes with being the principal's daughter. At Willow Creek Preparatory she's everything a good girl should be: polished, respected, and untouchable. But one drunken summer night changed everything. One kiss-hot, messy, absolutely forbidden-with the last person she should've been caught dead with. Will Carter. They don't call him the prince of chaos for nothing. The mayor's rebellious son. All smirks, bruised knuckles, and bad decision. Practically a walking scandal. Recently suspended for smoking with someone's daughter in the boys' bathroom. Now he's back- with a bruised jaw, a vendetta, and nothing to lose. So when Will decides to turn the school's poster girl into his newest distraction, Adeline's carefully built world begins to unravel. Secrets stir, bets are made, lessons are taught, truths unravel, and lines blur between hate and desire. She's pretending it never happened, he's planning to make sure she never forgets. Because some girls break rules. And the best ones? They shatter them.

Echoes Beneath the Stone
A group of archaeology students arrives in a remote village in Mexico for a summer project that was meant to be simple. Their task is to map a system of limestone caves and underground rivers, record measurements, and return with data for their university. At first the work feels like an adventure that blends science and travel. The air is filled with excitement and the promise of discovery. Yet the caves soon reveal secrets that go far beyond the task they were given. Deeper passages lead them into chambers untouched for centuries. Murals painted in strange colors show figures and rituals unknown to any existing culture. Carved faces stare from stone walls as if placed there to watch intruders. The group debates whether they have found evidence of a lost civilization or something even stranger. Wonder slowly turns into unease. When one student vanishes without a sound, excitement is replaced by fear and desperation. The search leads them through a spiral of stones, shelves lined with skulls, and a hall filled with bones arranged in patterns that speak of sacrifice and ceremony. They find an altar that hums with a rhythm matching the river below, and channels of water that refuse to show reflection. Every new discovery feels alive, as if the cave itself listens and decides who may pass. As danger rises, the students realize they stand at a crossroad. They can push further and risk their lives for knowledge that could rewrite history, or they can leave the place untouched and protect the secret for those who built it long ago. Their final choice will test loyalty, courage, and patience, and will shape whether the story of the hidden civilization is carried into the world or left buried beneath the stone forever.Complete
