It's only a matter of time before the secret is unraveled. 
It's only so long before this riddle is solved. 

                               ⦆≺ ★ ≻⦅

   Celestine lives with her father and brother in the old Victorian house on a cliff by the sea. Up there, things are peaceful and quiet, being just the three of them. 
   She helps out at her father's bookshop, goes to school, reads- but she also loves puzzles. Ever since she was small, everything from riddles to numbers; she has always had something on her hands.
   But now, it's only a matter of time until her fifteenth birthday, and something mysterious comes up regarding the unexplained disappearance of her mother so many years ago. One discovery leads to another, and soon the spiderweb of secrets and stories proves one thing: this isn't any old scavenger hunt. 
  The puzzle of all puzzles is about to begin.

White Lies (Book 1) by help-me-think-of-one
44 parts Complete Mature
Jesabel is a liar. When her only friend mysteriously disappears, she does what comes naturally. She keeps her truth from the world. Without warning, she is thrown into a web of lies far more dangerous and lethal than anything she could imagine. With an annoyingly charming boy by her side, can she unravel what she refuses to tell - the truth? WHITE LIES HAS BEEN REVISED, EDITED AND REWORKED! Happy late new year, friends! I'd like to take this opportunity to announce that White Lies, a story that has been up and running on Wattpad since 2011, has been re-written and revised for the coming decade. What does this mean? This entails the same characters you know and love, with better flow, better writing, more nuanced character development, more mature content, and entirely different plot lines. Jesabel's character has changed drastically since I last introduced her to the world (nearly NINE years ago! yikes!), and I wanted to make this story a more nuanced and modern take. When I had written White Lies, I had been just 14 years old. And I've done a ton of growing, learning, and unlearning over the years. This means that my characters have grown and developed with me. If you are an old friend and re-reader - welcome, and please enjoy the same old story you love with a brand new take! If you have started along this White Lies journey beginning in December and all throughout January, you might have read a half-edited and half-original version of the story. So please feel free to re-read at your leisure! I won't bite, I promise.

A dystopian young adult novel involving romance, secret experiments on human subjects, and a group of teenagers' will to survive. Reader Comments: "I'm gonna gush about your book real quick...all the technology has a purpose and is beautifully explained so I can picture it in my mind...the whole concept of the book is completely original...*moment of silence for your beautiful arch of character development* everything your characters do is strictly them but they develop enough to show more about themselves without you straight up telling the reader about them" -Vairl9023 "Ahh!!! This is so good!! I will be anxiously awaiting the next Chapter!!" -CrystalBagot "Brilliant...ohh, this is very catchy, good work" -IndeeMaynard "I love this so far" -BrianneMorris "You've done a great job at creating a mysterious mood" -poisonedpen *** All Evita Creedy, 17, wants is to finish her degree and be accepted for a prestigious job with the city's Department of Energy.

It would be easy for Evita to forget about where the gun came from and let her life return to normal, but its mysterious appearance won't stop nagging at her. When Evita starts asking questions Evelyn Sheer, the head of the city's Department of Energy, takes her captive and places her in a secret, underground research facility. Evelyn Sheer and the researchers are trying to create a genetic modification that enables humans to photosynthesize. Once in the facility, Evita is tagged as a test subject and loses all say over what happens to her body. She has to escape. By the time she comes up with a plan there is only one problem.

𝐘𝐨𝐮'𝐯𝐞 𝐠𝐨𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐝𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐝𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐦𝐞. -- Silence...It was the only thing screaming between the spaces of our grief. I started to crack the voice hidden inside my throat. "Maybe I need someone constant. Someone who will tightly hold me when I feel like everything is slipping away from my gasp." The wind was hushing towards our shivering bare skins. "I tightly hold you Celestine." His voice is too broken---his eyes travelled on my face with my hair blown by the wind. This has been a long journey of fighting and hurting. Of chasing and running for something that we both know, we'll never ever get. We started beautiful but the universe found its way to let us in end in tragic. I took a glimpse on his face, on his features. I reach for his cheeks and let my hands slide on it as I smiled quietly with tons of emotions pulling me down. The waves crashes on the calm whims of the shore.... just like what happened to us. "But maybe it was not enough Sky. Not enough to save me from the fall" I hushed in the stillness of the void. Is this the end? Will we savor the pain of the fall? Maybe...Maybe this is not. - Astralis Celestine, a lass who lives in the shadow of being a reckless and carefree kind of girl, a black sheep. When her sister died one summer, never in her life she feels the warmth of home until Sky came, a lad who lives in his dreams as well as the expectations of his father. Someone who wanted to prove something in his life. Both wrecked. Both messed up. But in this journey, they meet once but will they be able to savour the taste of seconds until it lasts? Their names are entangled to each other, but will they be? --

Try having those high walls in a future where the oceans have taken over the majority of the land that once stood and the planet's inhabitants are either treasure hunters or treasure thieves. What if your family's livelihood hangs in the balance of this dog-eat-dog world? Fifteen-year-old Vuela Hawkins, the troubled daughter of an esteemed journalist, stumbles across the map that will lead her to the treasure of a childhood legend her father used to read before his tragic, premature death.

NEVER UNDERESTIMATE A WOMAN WHO SURVIVED. Highest rank # 1 in Mystery/Thriller! Written on Wattpad and now published worldwide in print and eBook (in ePub and Kindle) at the usual retailers! Back Cover Blurb: After 4 years teaching in central Africa, Caitlyn Lancaster returns to her family in Australia, telling them she's been sent home because of looming political unrest. But Cait is more fragile than she and her Federal police handler anticipated. She's forced to accept that childhood family friend, now police detective, Riley Duncan must be told the brutal truth if she is to keep herself and her family safe. With Riley's support, Cait begins to recover her strength but civil war erupts around her friends in Umoja and her harrowing secret becomes the key to that nation's future. Putting her faith in her handler, Cait takes the ultimate risk only to discover that Agent Koffa has failed to take into account one vital detail...he's not as good at his job as he thinks he is. ** Please note, rather than the original, unedited draft, this book is now a sample of the first three chapters of the published version of As Long As She Lives. The draft version to which so many of you lovingly responded was available here for over two years and I cherish every reader and all your support but having the unedited draft available here was beginning to affect other opportunities as I attempt to establish a career in this fiction writing game. Also, I'd prefer that the version of the work that is publicly available is the best version! Again, thank you all so much for your support, I look forward to sharing my next novel in the draft stage soon! Darcy. ©Narrative Disorder 2014 - All rights reserved.

# I will stop publishing my story on wattpad because I'm worried about plagiarism. The world has been destroyed. All that remains is the Ark, and inside it, humans are oppressed by the Eldritch. On the outside, only death awaits thanks to heat so scorching it burns you alive, and cold so chilling, it freezes your retinas in under half a minute. Erin Watts is a 15-year-old human living in the slums of Designated Area No.6. He attends the prestigious Arlington School of Servitude and wants nothing more than having a bright future. Unfortunately, things aren't going his way as of late. His mother, a syred human, is sick and about to die. When she bites the dust, her protection from being syred to an Eldritch master will die with her, leaving Erin unprotected. His school is also starting to suspect he might not come from a wealthy background. And, to top it all off, his Eldritch neighbor wants to rape him and torture him to death. Could it get any worse for him? What can Erin do? How far will he go before he breaks down? Can he beat the system? Find out in this story about oppression, desperation, violence, and a pair of crazy girls. Disclaimer: The girls in this story are not the cliche mindless and submissive Daisies you find around Wattpad. If you are into that, then don't let the door hit you and leave. It also won't have your cliche yanderes.
