In the misty town of Westeria Valley, the past still lingers-unseen, but never silent. Laughter echoes from the woods, shadows flicker without light, and something ancient waits just beyond the trees.
When a group of children begin to uncover strange clues buried beneath their quiet town, they're pulled into a game they never agreed to play. With each step, the line between reality and nightmare fades.
Can they uncover the truth before the valley's secrets consume them-or are they only pawns in something far more sinister? What is it that they face? A presence far older than the trees or someone vengeful enough to make the world turn upsidedown or maybe, all of this is just a sick joke for a controversial story?
Why don't you find out yourself?

If Daphne herself is to be believed, clues on the disappearance lead a whole lot closer to home than Bella would like.

In a quiet town wrapped in fog and secrets, something ancient stirs beneath the surface. When new blood enters a neighborhood already weighed down by silence, curiosity can become dangerous. Some doors are locked for a reason... and some truths are meant to stay buried. But for April, once she knocks-there's no turning back. ⟡𖤐⟡✧⟡𖤐⟡✧⟡𖤐⟡✧ April had always been curious about the new boy named Gregory, who had moved into her neighborhood. He was quiet, always alone, with a stare that seemed too heavy for someone his age. Rumors began to spread-whispers of screams in the night and strange symbols drawn in red near the woods. Due to him not showing up to school regularly and having been acting quite strange, April's curiosity turned into obsession. Her dreams became disturbed, filled with flickering shadows and haunting whispers that spoke his name. Unexplained disappearances and brutal attacks from a mysterious creature started happening. Victims were found torn apart-no trace of the attacker, only claw marks and eerie silence. And April happened to be stalked by something lurking through the shadows. She soon discovers and is surprised to see who it is. A face she trusted. Having a rare condition... one hidden for generations. To consume blood flesh. ⟡𖤐⟡✧⟡𖤐⟡✧⟡𖤐⟡✧ ⚠ Content Warning: strong language, blood/gore, graphic violence, alcohol use, attempt of suicide, SA, and frightening scenes ⚠ · ┈┈┈┈┈┈ · ꕥ · ┈┈┈┈┈┈ · This story has a playlist **Listen on Spotify**Completa

Wives' Murder Club
The dates match. Everything added up. How could I not realize it? The bodies. The charges. The gossip. The rumours. The accuracy. The deaths. Every single body went missing. They were right, I should have listened. I knew something was weird, but not this bad. Church on Sundays, book club on Mondays, Bible study on Wednesdays, their kids' games on Tuesdays and Thursdays, Charity donations on Fridays, and dates on Saturdays. I guess its true what they say. The biggest monsters don't hide in the darkness of your closet. Instead, they smile in your face in broad daylight. The worst demons don't conceal themselves in your shadow. They thrive in the light. The darkest souls own the brightest smiles. A light so captive, you don't even realize they've gotten so close. Don't even realize when you've befriended them and their darkness has touched you. So, Sometimes, to find the ugliest monster, you have to look in the mirror. P.S, the tags should serve as a warning as well. This story is my own, which means I own the characters, plot, etc. However, I did get some inspiration from James Patterson's WOMEN'S MURDER CLUB, just with a slight twist ;)

When Veia Phelde is cursed, she hardly expects the ruin it will invoke, but will breaking the curse come at a cost more than its worth in blood? +++ Veia Phelde had been satisfied with her life in her small cottage in the woods, never bothering anyone save for her job as a blacksmith's apprentice. But when she loses her job, Veia is forced out of her comfort zone only to run into a simple book that means so much more than she wants it to. With blank white pages and a title carved by knife, the single word that scars the leather can only be the work of fate, and the danger it contains... well, let's just say that's fate, too. When a devilishly handsome traveler offers to take her to the City of Magic to break the curse, Veia finds herself hopelessly entangled in a danger more powerful than she could ever know. +++ ~ Featured Wattpad Picks: Hidden Gem (May 2020) ~ @StoriesUndiscovered Diamond list (2019) ~ 2nd place in action/adventure, Coral Awards 2021 ~ 2nd place in action/adventure, The Pantheon Awards 2020 ~ 3rd place in adventure, The Blue Rose Awards, August 2019 ~ Written for the Open Novella Contest 2019, gen fic open prompt (since expanded; 45k word count) ~ Also available on Inkitt, Prose, Sweek, and Quotev (but Wattpad has the best version) ;) Beautiful cover by @TheFashionPixieCompleta
