Whispers From Pine Haven
There are things a mirror cannot reflect. Like guilt. Like grief. Like the truth about the child you were never supposed to raise. Zariah didn't move to the small town of Elmsbrook to start over - she came to disappear. At 26, with scars no one sees and a daughter who speaks to things no one else hears, Zariah has learned not to ask too many questions. She's a mother by survival, not by design. Haunted by memory gaps, dreams of hospitals that don't exist, and a recurring fear of her own reflection, she just wants to make a life for Nova - quiet, clean, and far away from her past. But Elmsbrook is not clean. And the mirrors here don't just show your face - they show who you used to be. Or worse... who you were meant to become. --- Nova is six years old. Bright. Curious. And wrong in ways no one talks about. She speaks to the mirror in her bedroom like it's an old friend. She sings lullabies she shouldn't know. And she wakes up some nights with black eyes that fade by morning. She doesn't remember being someone else. But the mirror does. And it's time she remembered. Caleb thought the worst day of his life was the day his daughter Lina died in his arms. But grief is a liar - and the mirror offered him a deal. One daughter, split in two. One raised in silence. The other raised in love. One became Nova. The other was left behind. Now, years later, the fragments of the bargain are waking up - and Caleb is pulled back into the storm he thought he escaped. But what he finds on the other side of the mirror isn't just his daughter. It's the part of himself he buried to forget her. 💔 Three broken souls. One split child. A mirror that feeds on memory. As Zariah unravels the truth of her forgotten trauma, she's forced to confront the impossible: that the child she's raised may not be entirely hers - and may never have been. Nova is changing. 🩸 Because the mirror isn't just a portal. It's a parasite. And it's hungry for families like heComplete

It's hard piecing things together after waking up in a random apartment with no memory of who you are, surrounded by mostly welcoming strangers. The only thing remaining of her past is the tattooed name imprinted on her skin. But with no place to go, these strangers decide to take her in and call her Mia. Inexplicable things start happening to Mia within the four walls of her confinement, including her presently mute status, strange abilities, and secretive roommates harboring their own hidden agendas. With a serial killer on the loose, this apartment is her only place of refuge. But when she finally remembers who she really is, her refuge is no longer safe. Mia wakes up to find out her name isn't Mia at all, and that her life is nothing but a walking tragedy. Her previous actions of refusing to let go of the only person with the power to break her heart leaves dire consequences. Especially since it involved striking a deal with the devil.

She was shattered, her past erased by pain, her voice stolen by trauma. He was a ruler-not just of politics but of the shadows where justice was a debt paid in blood. Ruthless to those who took justice for granted, yet never cruel to the innocent. At an early age, he learned one truth-power commands justice. Without it, you're nothing. That night, their worlds collided. He found her-battered, nameless, drowning in silence. He should've walked away. But something about her... felt familiar. A forgotten memory. A name lost in time. A connection buried beneath scars. She had no past she was willing to share. He had a childhood he never let go of. But fate doesn't ask for permission-it rewrites the story in the most ruthless ways. Some scars don't just heal... they reveal. And when the truth surfaces, will it mend what was lost or destroy them both? A story of pain, justice and an unexpected love that blooms in the darkest places.
