Your past self has left behind a document, narrating all the events that has happened in the three months. A love story. Between two teenagers, one is a Human and the other, a Spirit. A love that made you do things, feel things, believe in things that you normally wouldn't have. Something that has blinded a rational person like you, maybe for the better, or worse. A love that was the best thing that had ever happened to you. And the worst part? You'll probably never remember any of it ever again. Join Renee and Noah, as they wind their way through carefully planned murders, prying eyes of the ISA, all while creating something highly illegal: The Realm of Renee. ***** 🥇1st place under Fantasy in the Carnival Awards. #1 in #realm.Complete

Taken Captive
I wrote this when I was 16 give me a break. TAKEN SERIES: BOOK ONE TW: kidnapping, manipulation, toxic/abusive relationship, violence, death, grief, self-harm, suicidal thoughts/attempts, sexual assault, non-consensual sexual content, alcoholism, stockholm syndrome, switching partners, etc. Do not read this story if you get triggered easily. If you decide to continue, that's your own choice. This story will portray a BDSM relationship, NOT counting the toxicity and genuine abuse that goes on throughout it. Do not comment anything unnecessarily judgmental, especially if you don't know what you're talking about.
