•G L I T C H• (remake) DISCONTINUED
DISCONTINUED This is a remake of the first book I made and if you don't wanna die of cringe and bad writing, I suggest you read this instead. 2021/5/7 The main character of this story is named Alessandra Olivas. She was born by an abused mother who was neglectful of her ever since her father left her at the age of 7. her father got full custody of her when her mother died of a break in at their house, causing Alex (Alessandra Olivas) to experience more trauma than she already had. The story gets gory after that so, enjoy the rest of the book. WARNING THIS BOOK WILL CONTAIN Abuse Child endangerment Neglect Mentions of drug addiction Pills/anti depressants Guns Blood Bullying Homophobia Transphobia Use of alcohol F slur Children deaths Mass murder Detailed deaths Cannibalism Manipulation Narcissist Murder And trauma/memories from my life If any of this makes you uncomfortable or you simply cannot stand the topic, please click out and I hope you do well EnjoyComplete

BUT FINISHED!) one minute you were watching an old children's film you found in the attic that belonged to your grandparents, the next you find yourself inside the film. when you first woke up you were in a field of green grass, you then go looking for civilization and when you finally find it you run into someone and you soon get introduced to the rest. Even after a few days of living there Wally takes an obsession with you and it gets worse everyday. Soon the others started to get hurt and go missing. You need to get out of here.. Made in April 2023 (ik it's old) This story was made around when Welcome home first became much more popular. (For me) and so most things in this story are not canon. I'll admit that when I first wrote this I wasn't aware of the characters sexuality's and what they go by. So for example if I called someone a He when they are She please correct me. I plan to finish this book and then go back and fix all my mistakes. I PERSONALLY. Don't recommend you reading this. I personally hate this book, but I was new to writing when I made this. I'm getting better.Complete

Rise of the Dead | I
Ten years after the battle at Single Oak, the four groups of Oregon are still reeling from its after effects. Territory lines were drawn and stories have been told, those who were heroes once are legends now. In order to avoid new conflicts, solstice gatherings between the groups' leaders were organized-but will they be enough? *** Phoenix has grown up only ever knowing two things. One, her group and fathers are the saviors of Oregon. Two, The Reaper's are not to be trusted. So when a mysterious stranger rescues her after a hunting trip gone wrong turns out to be none other than her mortal enemy she begins to wonder, are they all as bad as they seem? The death of Stephan has begun to deteriorate The Reaper's from the inside out. Infighting over who should be their next leader has created countless seasons of lacking supplies and structure. A lack of prey follows a famine. Strong leadership is in order and although Gerald can provide it, debate and rumors are spread about his chosen companion-Aleu, Stephan's once respected apprentice, now glued to his side in a relationship they never wanted-with no say in the matter. The only person who The Reaper's can put their hope into is Hawk, their new general, a powerful man willing to do anything to keep his group thriving. Hawk is torn between keeping his group safe and his own ambition, Aleu is tortured with a constricting life they hate and Phoenix wonders if she can truly trust her new acquaintances. Now the three must make a decision. Will pushing aside the past and working together to make peace be worth turning their backs on their groups or is blood the only cure for the misdeeds of the past? _____________________ Story rating: 17+ Content warnings: Childhood trauma, subtext of grooming, strong language, violence and gore This can hypothetically be read as a stand alone but it's recommended to read the original series first.Complete
