Becoming The Third
Prologue The darkness of the past loomed over her like a shadow, a constant reminder of the pain and suffering she had endured. Her mother's tears, her father's abuse, the toxic cycle of violence that had defined her childhood - it was a legacy she had vowed to break, but one that continued to haunt her. As she stood in the silence of her room, the memories came flooding back. The sound of her mother's sobs, the smell of her father's anger, the feeling of being trapped in a world that seemed determined to consume her. She had thought that she had escaped, that she had found a way to break free from the chains of her past. But the truth was, she was still trapped. Trapped in a cycle of abuse, trapped in a relationship that was slowly draining the life from her. She looked at herself in the mirror, and saw a reflection that was both familiar and foreign. The bruises on her lip, the fear in her eyes - it was a sight she had grown accustomed to, but one that still filled her with a deep sadness. She knew that she deserved better, that she was worth more than the pain and suffering she had endured. But the question was, would she ever be able to find the strength to walk away, to leave the past behind and forge a new future? The answer, she knew, lay in the unknown. It was a journey she would have to take, one step at a time, one breath at a time. And as she stood there, frozen in the silence of her room, she knew that she would have to find the courage to take that first step, no matter how daunting it seemed.Complete

His Puppet (Scaramouche x Reader)
She was his beautiful puppet, a living breathing doll that followed his commands. Well atleast that's what she assumed he thought she was when he employed her. But he was right about one thing, she did follow his commands without question. She could be his ticket out, his way into a new life he could spend with only her... So what if he had to control her and lie a little to get their happy ending. ------------------------------ -Hopefully updated at least once a week. (decided this will be around 20 chapters long because I have a big original book idea for scara im working on after, but for right now my full attention is on finishing this book ☺️) -Smut, plus sexual themes in a lot of chapters -This will divulge from canon plot and canon personalities a bit! I find it boring when stories are just the same with the only difference being the romance! So expect something different~ -And I hope you enjoy! <3.Complete
Mirror Me
Hannah McCauley doesn't look at herself in the mirror anymore. After a rebellious past, she now attends a strict private school in a new town, where her recently divorced mother has put her on social lockdown. No driving. No bad grades. No skipping classes. No unapproved friends. No makeup. No boys. And the subject of her best friend from her old school is definitely forbidden. Hannah is being punished for something that happened a year earlier, something that she would like to put behind her. But strange occurrences frighten her, and she's accused of breaking rules and doing other terrible things without any recollection of them. No one believes her, so she starts distrusting everything, even her own reflection. Is she being haunted by her past? Stalked by someone with a grudge? Or is it all in her head? If she doesn't figure out what's happening fast, her existence could end up irreparably shattered. - - - - - Copyright © 2017 by Tara St. Pierre All rights reserved.

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
