-READ SOUL SEARCHING (BOOK 1) FOR CONTEXT-

Iliana's life has always been a string of wrong turns. With nothing left for her in the small state of Georgia, she makes the boldest decision of her life: pack a single bag, leave behind her past, and board a plane to Australia. No plan. No funds. Just a fragile hope that starting over might mean something better than the nothing she left behind.

She finds herself in a run-down apartment complex, walls thinner than paper, nights lonelier than she imagined. And worse-her next-door neighbor seems determined to ruin what little peace she has. MK is loud, always on the phone at ungodly hours, chasing an acting career while nursing the ache of being half a world away from his friends back in the States. To Iliana, he's a walking headache. To MK, she's the grumpy girl who can't take a joke.

But proximity has a funny way of breaking down walls. Soon, late-night arguments turn into conversations, and conversations into something softer. MK sees through the armor Iliana carries, and she begins to realize that beneath MK's endless energy is someone just as lonely as she is.

As their worlds collide, Iliana must decide if she's brave enough to stop running from her past-and if MK is ready to let someone in who doesn't just laugh at his jokes, but listens to his heart.

In the city where neither of them quite belongs, two strangers might finally find home-next door to each other.

Z Diaries by ElaraEsmeray
6 parts Ongoing
A virus spread throughout the whole world without anyone realizing until it was too late. People were turning into zombies, flesh-eating human corpses. The government desperate for salvation opened its hidden bunkers. Some fled to other countries for a higher chance of safety. Some died on the way to those said bunkers. Some turned to those creatures they were running from. Those who are lucky and rich enough to enter the bunkers are now momentarily safe and hidden wherever those bunkers are. But it's only a matter of time before those bunkers break. While many were left outside, fighting for their lives and trying to survive, they were sleeping in comfort inside those metal havens. Unbeknownst to those who were safely enjoying themselves inside, there was something more outside, waiting for the bunkers to open. Ziya, who wanted to find her sisters, started to travel. At first, she was alone until a few people found her and became her companions while traveling the dangerous highways. How they manage to trust her despite being aloof, she doesn't know. But they knew she was a great help to them. With her unnatural instinct and calmness while fighting the zombies despite being half blind she was pretty useful to let her go. They kept asking other questions but eventually stopped when they realised they won't receive answers anytime soon. They were just letting her join them because she's useful and they felt guilty leaving her alone. To her defense, she doesn't trust them, and she doesn't want them to trust her. She thinks they're a bit stupid for letting her join but staying quiet about it. She just wanted to stay alive and find her sisters. And she just needs to keep her own secrets and lengthen her patience. •Cover edited by me. •Photo of Sofia Isella from Pinterest.

《 Highest Ranking: #5 in Vampire 》 "Is that Marcus? Marcus as in, from our High School Marcus!" Casey squeaked. I spun around, not quite believing her, but there he was. He strode through the school like he owned it and my god, he could've. He'd changed over the four years he'd been gone. It was like god himself had carved him from a statue. His cheekbones could cut a finger and a jaw that could slice a hand. He was taller, more muscular. He looked nothing like the boy that went away. He wore a blacket jacket and ripped jeans, his grey eyes studied the school as every female studied him. Suddenly, they slipped past every other person's eyes and landed on mine. No surprise etched his face, it was like he didn't recognise me. Until I saw the corner of his mouth lift up. ~~ Best friends, Diana and Marcus planned to do everything together.

The Horde Just Behind

1 part Ongoing Mature

The Horde Just Behind Teaaser: The infection came quietly. No one knows what started it or what the infected want-only that they move with purpose and learn too quickly. When their school falls, Andrew, Maya, and a handful of classmates flee through a dying city toward the promise of safety. Their shelter-a tilted hotel clinging to the edge of a highway-feels impossible, as if someone built it overnight just to trap them there. Strangers whisper about a white tower called The End, a government refuge rising above the ruins. Inside the group, fear and tenderness tangle. Asha, gentle and strange, hungers for more than food. Daniel hides guilt that festers. Each act of mercy draws them closer to something watching from within. There are no monsters left outside-only what they've brought with them. Beginning from a draft I made at 14, now age 18. Lets read this together as I continue my project. Here's a link to the doc which has my preferred formatting.
