(Work in Progress)
At 14, Emily was a curious girl with an endless imagination. An imagination that made the night come alive, and not in a good way. Struggling with growing up and becoming "a woman of her own", as her peculiar and sometimes cruel aunt called it - she was caught in a space where the dark haunted her and the light eluded the truth that was somewhere out of her grasp.
She'll have to face what's hidden or stay locked in herself forever. But the truth will shatter her reality and become more terrifying than anything she feared in the early shadows of dusk.

Shadows of the Forsaken
Ever since she could remember, the experiments had been part of her life. As a child, they were harmless-just puzzles and strange potions given to her by the woman she called Mother. Back then, she believed it was all a game, a way to make her smarter, stronger. But as she grew, the tests changed. They became invasive. Painful. Each experiment carved new scars into her skin and left her mind tangled in unanswered questions. The woman she once trusted had become a stranger, her warmth replaced by cold calculation. And then the voices started. A shadow lurked within her, whispering, clawing at the edges of her sanity. She wasn't alone in her own body-something else had been forced inside her. Something ancient. Something hungry. Now, she's free... but for how long? With the past chasing her and the monster inside threatening to take control, she's left with one question: Was she ever meant to survive, or was she only meant to become something else?

The Butterfly Girl: A Star is Born

Another one, you might be thinking? Out of whoever knows how many stories are already out there similar to this one? Well... you'd be surprised.
