adventure beach dolphin family fiction fun girl loss rockpools sadness teen

It was late summer when I came bursting through the shaded, blue door. "Mum, Dad guess what I just discovered!" I yelled, excited. 
"Let me guess; a moss, green treasure chest filled with pearl necklaces?" Mum laughed. 
"No, even better!" I called back, longing to finally tell them about my discovery of the rock pools. 
I begged and pleaded and by 6:00pm that night, Mum and Dad finally gave in. They had decided to go to the rock pools; we could look out at the huge, turquoise blue ocean and snorkel for the whole afternoon. 
So it started that day, the 14th of February 2012.

The Magical Secret of the Crystal Kingdom by user46036060

For those who love to adventure... This STUNNING debut novel will captivate your imagination and immerse you in its magical, fantasy world. My name is Rose and I have a question for you. Have you ever been transformed into a horse or a unicorn? How about a dragon or an eagle or even a dolphin for that matter? Have you ever been transported into a strange new world? Well let me tell you, it's AMAZING!! It all started when I began dreaming about a house when I was eight years old. I told my mum and dad about it and they showed me an old photograph of the house for real that they had kept hidden away from me since I was a baby. That was when they told me I was adopted. I wasn't really shocked or upset. It was like somehow I had always known. Fast forward five years and we stayed in that very same house. That was where we found the cave in the woods and more importantly, the crystals buried inside it that we took back to the house. Now that would have been the end of it under normal circumstances; if this was just a normal wood that we had walked through; and if we had just found a normal cave, with normal crystals. But the truth was it was not a normal wood, it was not a normal cave and the crystals we had found most certainly were not just any old crystals. In fact, that night, something amazing started to happen. A soft glow started to appear from one of the crystals in a corner of the garden and covered us, before gradually transforming each of us into magical animals. Then we started floating one by one up into the sky, inside the beam of light. This is the story of what happened next and how I discovered The Magical Secret of the Crystal Kingdom.

Lacy by EvaWerner22

standalone ~ mafia siblings series I stare at the elegant man. He smiles at me. I tilt my head to the side, hands clasped behind my back. "Good day," The man begins. "I am sorry for your loss." The words sound force and rehearsed. He doesn't mean it. He wears a polished outfit: a suit, watch, church shoes. His one outfit probably costs more than my entire wardrobe. He holds out his hand. I gingerly shake it, unsure of this man. The Johnsons are nowhere in sight, and the church is empty. "I am Liam, your brother," He clarifies. Brother? My brother is dead. ~~~ Lacy was raised by a family who hated her, who didn't want her. She was made to believe she was a burden, a mistake. Despite this, Lacy remained positive. She was a ray of sweetness and sunshine, prepared to keep a smile on her face despite her dreary thoughts. The day Lacy's family dies in a freak accident, her world is thrown upside down. She is sent to live with a strange family until their funeral. Then, why does a strange man arrive to the funeral, claiming to be Lacy's long-lost brother? *I DO NOT OWN ANY PHOTOS IN THIS BOOK, CREDITS TO OWNER*

Untold thoughts - Between us (WinTeam) by Myaahero

Win wanted to go home, the seniors told everyone that swim practise was canceled. So why? Why was the light on at the pool? No one was supposed to be in there. He thought, he just forgot to turn them off and went inside to quickly turn them off, but what was that? Someone was inside the pool, drowning deep inside. He jumped in to see it was Team. He did his best, but... was he too late? How could that happen? The story takes place after Team almost drowned in the pool, just that Win was not fast enough. It's going to be an emotional rollercoaster. This is my first fanfiction since... 2014? (I started writing Fanfiction around 2011?) Don't be too harsh to me and give me time for new chapters. :)

The Runaway Sister by EvaWerner22

standalone ~ mafia siblings series "You can't make me stay here! I will get an emancipation." I yell. Flashbacks of the gun in my hand, the almost-dead boy. I shudder. A sick feeling settles in my heart. "I forbid you from going anywhere else. It's safe here, with us," Alexander answers. He is practically fuming. "Clearly, it's not!" I stand from the leather chair, backing away to the mahogany door. Pure, hot rage bubbles inside of me. Never. I will never become one of them. He begins to rush to me, but I turn on my heel and sprint out, down the hallway, through the house, and to the brick fence surrounding the mansion. I go up to the black metal gate, slip through the rails, and run out onto the forest-surrounded street. *** Evelyn Rhodes was kidnapped at the age of seven by her uncle after seeing her brothers kill a woman.

My Life Of Evasion by writeon27

Passport? Check. Book of maps to every country in the world? Check. The world's best treasure hunting dad and the most incredible stepmom? Check. My amazing boyfriend of over a year and a half? Check! The same crazy guy who'd been chasing us on our last exploration and the group of other crazy people he's basically teamed up with? Ugh, check. And the newest member of our group, my baby sister Addy, who's going on her very first treasure hunt at the tender age of four months old? Oh, my gosh, check! Call me, Callie Landon, a complete fool and I'd have to totally agree. As to what type of fool, I'd let you know. I was a fool in love, a fool to do what we did every day, a fool to trust Agents Jenna Hudson and Chris Turner when they said that they had another treasure for us to find, one that's only known by the FBI and the government and hadn't gone public. And just what was that treasure? Well, we didn't know. And neither did they. It was apparently life changing, though, so I was guessing pretty big. Our group was going to be bigger on this exploration, that's for sure. And we were adding another, rather unexpected person: Sophie Barnes, who was Max's ex-girlfriend. This treasure hunt was going to be even more dangerous than our others. It was going to full of sneaking into government facilities in other countries, stealing priceless items that were supposed to be heavily guarded, car chases, near kidnappings...and enough dirty diapers to knock out a hundred men just with the smell. It was going to be one crazy adventure. But then again, it always was in the world of treasure hunting. (Book 3 in the My Life Series)
