Elaine Briar met a boy.
He took her into the forest.
It was supposed to be a romantic first date; a time to enjoy nature and get to know each other better.
But they soon realize they're not alone.
It's been said that you can't really know someone until you experience a trauma together-that's when true character reveals itself-that's when a person's essence rises to the surface, for better or for worse.
Is Owen really the smooth-talking, gentle dream she met in the coffee shop, or does something more sinister lurk beneath his handsome, irresistible exterior?
Elaine is going to find out what she's made of. And Owen is going to help her do that, one way or another.
Survival is the only thing that matters...

The Forest
Ernwood Forest is home to people living hidden from the prying eyes of humans; the Winged and their tribes. These people stand no taller than a few centimetres off the ground, meaning that things can sometimes get a little difficult... especially when humans are involved. But life isn't all bad. For the first time ever, Azure and the tribes have a human of their own protecting them from the sinister forces beyond the edge of the trees. As the months of winter roll in, nights are growing longer and snow has settled on the leafless branches. The forest is still. The only humans anyone expects to see are the few that know of the tiny people's existence. But the tribes are not alone in the forest anymore. The abductions begin. The past awakens. And a long forgotten shadow falls over the forest. Azure and the others once again find themselves having to fight to prevent their family from being ripped apart- only this time, things are different. This time, even the humans are in danger. ❤️❤️ Updates: When I can ahh❤️❤️ ⚠️ Mild fear/ violence warning --- This is the third part to this little trilogy :) I would recommend reading the other parts first if you can suffer through them. I can gladly summarise all that has happened so far in a lil note in the beginning if people so desire to skip two stories full of what a younger-me considered good writing :)

Echoes of Crimson Elegance | spencer reid x oc
Profiling criminals had not always been Evelyn's dream. The path she had envisioned since early childhood consisted of intellectual discussions of controversial artistic theories and late, caffeinated nights spent procrastinating on overdue art pieces and papers. And then her mother died. At least one part of her dream had come to fruition-she was completely dependent on coffee. When accepted into the FBI's Behavioral Analysis Unit, Evelyn finds she may not be as well-suited for the position as she believed to be, especially when a certain prodigal genius makes it his life's mission to see her fail. **This is a work of fiction-I do not own Criminal Minds or the characters within it.**

Captive{ated}
"First you captivated me... then you held me captive." Evelyn was like most college-aged girls working a part-time job when she met Caleb, who came in to her life when she wanted him least but needed him most. He captivated her. By the end of summer, she had fallen in love with him. It was then that he wanted her to meet his parents. And that's when everything changed. Caleb was not the man Evelyn thought he was. He came from a secluded village that did things much differently from the rest of society. Isolated in one of the most sparsely populated areas of the country, it was as if they live in their own little world. They were a traditional village for the most part, but there were some aspects that they did much differently than any other, especially in the ways of courtship. It didn't take long for Evelyn to realize one thing: once you were brought home to meet the parents, there was no escape.Complete
