**IN PROGRESS**
Have you ever heard your science teacher tell you that the Earth is made up of layers? Well--they're only half right. What they don't know, is what these layers are really made OF. They're actually different worlds, one on top of the other.
Some are full of different creatures thought to be extinct, after the modern world became unsustainable for them.
Others are realms of fairy tales and myths, that existed in the modern world SO long ago, they were dismissed as legends.
Then there are worlds created by concepts WE believed in, because if enough people believe in something hard enough, it can actually happen. The good...and the bad.
Since every layer touches another, they exist simultaneously. Each one has four select doorways. Two connecting that realm to the next, and two that connect it the one preceding it, and they can only be used by those who belong in these secret worlds.
One day Bianca and her friend Ariel find one such entrance. Will they be allowed inside? And if they are, what kind of turn will their lives take?

The Dark Witch: The Nox Haven Series
I'd Like to think I was a good person, before it all began. I didn't cheat on tests, or steal. But throughout my entire life, I was treated if I were a monster. At the age of five, after several agonizing tests, I was diagnosed with Reactive Attachment Disorder. But not even that title could describe just how strange I was. When another kid got hurt, I would cry. Whenever someone else was told a funny joke, I would laugh hysterically. People looked at me as if I were crazy- and for while I agreed with them. That was until I, Caddie Jones, was exiled to Nox Haven Academy, a school for truly special kids. Not the mentally ill, psychotic kind of special but the magical kind. Like witches, vampires, fairies and werewolves. Call me crazy if you want, you wouldn't be the first. But the stories are all true. The supernatural did exist and I was one of them. Life there was cool until suddenly, I was faced with two-faced witches, egotistical princes, hormone driven werewolves, and an army of evil warlocks who were threatening to destroy the world. ... Maybe Nox Haven was a school for psychos after all. ---------------------------------------------------------- Highest Rank: #2 in Paranormal 1st Place winner of The Night Shift's Killer Competition 4/10/16 Illustration by: Stephanie Pitino (www.ClairObscur.fr) (1st book in series)Complete

The Splice of The Realms
In a world divided into four groups, there is a role for everyone. Every group has their own realm found in each corner of the country they share. The top right corner has the largest population. There lives the people of the Mystery Realm (M.R.) They're the police force, detectives and prosecutors. They're the only realm which carries weapons of any kind. However, they don't kill. While they do value law and order, they don't like violence and tend to avoid it. The bottom left corner has the second largest population. The people there are born with unique powers. They're called the Supernatural Realm (S.R.) They tend to be optimistic and stubborn. They value relationships and would do anything to keep the people they love safe. The top left and bottom right corners are tied in regards to population, however, that is the only thing they share in common. These two realms couldn't be more different. In the top left corner is the society of the Technologically Enhanced Realm (T.E.R.) The people here develop technology the other realms could only dream of. They don't socialize with others and tend to keep to themselves. They understand complex equations and theories, however, they have a hard time understanding human emotion. Finally, in the bottom right corner lives the peaceful and happy people of the Primitive Harmony Realm (P.H.R.) The people here lead a simple life and believe in nature and its gifts. Because of that, they were blessed with healing abilities and elemental gifts. Additionally, the herbs they grow are just as magical as the people themselves.

The Mystic Forest
In a universe divided, there were two distinct worlds, each unaware of the other's existence for centuries. One was the Human Territory-a world of cities, technology, and the mundane realities of everyday life. The other was the realm of the Creatures, a magical world inhabited by beings beyond human imagination. This world was home to mythical creatures, beasts, and beings who were part animal and part human, often referred to as Hybrids. These creatures lived in harmony with nature, their existence intertwined with the magic that flowed through their lands. Between these two worlds lay the Mystic Forest, a realm of legend and myth. Stories were told of a mysterious forest that connected the two worlds, but for the longest time, it was considered nothing more than folklore. The forest was said to be enchanted, its trees towering higher than any human could imagine, with whispers of ancient magic that could transport anyone brave enough to venture inside to the world of creatures. But, as with all myths, people stopped believing in its existence, and the Mystic Forest faded into the background of forgotten tales. That is, until one fateful day, when a group of friends stumbled upon a hidden portal deep within the wilderness on a camping trip-a portal that was rumored to lead to the Mystic Forest. They were all from the Human Territory, living ordinary lives until curiosity and chance led them to the heart of the legend. The group consisted of five friends: Amelia, the adventurous and strong-willed one who had always been fascinated by myths and legends; Alex, her childhood friend, loyal and protective, but ever the skeptic; Gabby, the bold and outgoing one with a passion for mystery and exploration; Lucas, the quiet and thoughtful one, who was fascinated by the unknown; and Sophia, the analytical one who needed proof for everything.Complete
