Jacqueline Kennedy once said, "There are many little ways to enlarge your child’s world. Love of books is the best of all."
This statement has since been completely disregarded.
Ellie has always been a troublesome child. Always sneaking out at night to go read books, for god knows what reason, and running around the concrete flatlands of Utopia, life and love seems to have stilled and stopped under the crush of human will.
But one day, while Ellie is reading a battered old copy of 1984, she spots a small watch swept away underneath her chair.
And, as we all know, what self-respecting troublesome child could of left that watch alone?

Hades Legacy (Hades Series #3)
*to be edited: please excuse any continuity errors and / or mistakes in regards the writing quality of Hades* Ellie is just like every other normal eighteen year old girl in the world, except for one big reason.

The Island
"This is The Island, a prison designed for minors like me- too young to be executed, too old to be reformed, and too much of a stain on humanity to let exist. It was 'the answer' to the growing crime rate resulting from a world that was falling apart. The details evade me, but there is one thing I know. The water doesn't seem as scary as it did before." When Jordyn wakes up in the middle of a tropical forest in the mouth of a cat too big to be real, she decides this isn't how she wants to die. The Island has other plans, though. It was designed to kill her, and it will bring out every gun in the arsenal to do so. Her life becomes a game of survival from the mutant and venomous animals, severe temperature changes, and impossible weather scenarios that exist in this government manufactured prison. The twist? She has no idea who she is, where she came from, or why she committed first-degree arson. In this mixture of "The Hunger Games" and "Maze Runner", Jordyn has to unravel the truth before nature kills her- or die not knowing.

Dungeon Of Utopia (Adventure Time Fanfic)
In the mist of feeling like life has had it's fun and enjoyment taken out of it by all the emotionally painful stuff that's been happening to him for the last few months, Finn decides to explore for himself and try to start a new life away from reminders of the past. But during his little solo adventure, he hears about a secret dungeon, only known as the "Dungeon Of Utopia" said to create a perfect world for those who stumble upon it. Finn is in a desperate state of mind, but is leaving everything and everyone behind to go live in your own personal ideal world actually a good idea? I basically came up with this idea only around a day after posting my first one. I've struggled with the writing and stuff so don't be too surprised if I go back and edit some stuff a lot since I'm bad at writing, AND this is only my second Wattpad story. So things aren't gonna be too great. I usually try my best to stick to the character's personalities, but I'm kinda bad at doing so... I honestly get nervous every time I post a story. I DON'T own ANYTHING related to Adventure Time. It is owned by Cartoon Network.Complete

Steady Ground | ✔
He's damaged. He's lost. And worse of all, his memories have come to life. If he wants to find peace, he'll need to redefine what it really means to move on. -- For the first time in years, Atlas feels like he's separated himself from the misfortune in his life. He's healed, he's rented a decent apartment, he's settled into a solid-enough-for-him job working as a grunt for some scientists. Now he's (reluctantly) traveling to the spring snows of Alaska, where they plan to test the first run of their earthquake-harnessing technology. But something goes wrong. They don't harness the energy of an earthquake. No. Instead, the ground rips apart. A massive crevice forms, leading deep into the Earth. The chasm lulls him forward like a Siren, telling him tales of his mother, of her laughter, of her scent of strong sandalwood, and of his life before her death. Waking up in what he can only describe as Hell, he's confronted with every misfortune in his life. Forced to befriend mirages made from his most painful childhood memories or pay severe consequences, he travels the twisted realm in search of answers.
