Dawn Davis is an eighteen-year-old girl.  Or, at least, she was, until the horrible horse accident that lead to her death.  Now, she's a three-hundred-eighteen-year-old (sort of) ghost that's not quite dead (or a ghost).  She's stayed the small town of Blue Falls in North Carolina.  It's so small, it's unheard of.  

Dawn is a spiritual being called an In-between.  She is something that isn't quite a dead, and not quite alive.  In-betweens are physically bound to the city they died in, and usually stay in their old homes.  As an In-between, she is never heard or seen.  At least, she hadn't been until a certain, special, sixteen-year-old Artemis Alexander finds her lurking around. 

Artemis and his big family just moved into the house on the grounds where Dawn used to live.  Dawn needs to find out why this Artemis boy can see her.  It's never happened in the three hundred years she'd been (not quite) dead.  

Artemis is your regular kid of science, the one you barely see in the background, and he is far from superstitious.  Artemis doesn't believe in anything science does not explain.  So how do you think he feels when he begins to see people that glow but aren't quite there? 

Or how about one that's not quite dead?All Rights Reserved

Wrong Time by endlessroads_19

#1 in Paranormal 15/12/20 and 31/10/2021 #1 in Paranormal Love 13/04/19 and 21/10/2021 Everyone has been told at least one ghost story during their life, but it's up to them to believe it or not. I was part of that group, the sceptics. Always rational, never choosing my heart over my brain. That was it until one life-changing day. We have all heard of ghost stories. Here's mine. ****** Grace Lancaster is a completely normal 17 year-old teenager, except for one little fact. She's been having the same realistic nightmare for the past two years. It's not just a bad dream, it means something and she knows it. But what could that be? Archer Sutcliffe is the answer to all her prayers. However, she will face an inconvenience: He is a ghost. Fire and ice. Light and darkness. Life and death. Sometimes the perfect person for you is who you least expected them to be, and they are the clear example of that. But most importantly: Will they find the answers both of them are looking for?

The four elements(BOOK 1) by SkyeaboveXP

The Four Elements And the lost fifth The group was the closest group of people you would ever meet but that also meant that their circle was very powerful because of their bond. They would always use their abilities for good always but one day Destinee almost killed all her friends so she sworn off using her abilities ever again and disappeared from the group. And five years later the group needs her more than ever but she refuses to use her abilities and she has been out of practice for five years so the circle and with the help of their friends have to get Destinee back in the circle because without her the circle would be forever incomplete and with something very dark coming the circle is going to need Destinee more than ever. Or is it really that Elisa who needs them more than ever? The purpose of this story is friendship and love. Always love it never dies and that is what this group of people have. LOVE. Spirit is the fifth element even though it says four elements its five. Spirit connects the four elements to make them really their own and special and that's what this character Destinee does.

The Warriors of Aregon--Vol 1 by louulaaa7744

Nora's lived on the island all her life--catching food, doing experiments, keeping what she considers a safe distance away from the Wolf. Then he starts acting weird. Right in the middle of working on figuring out the problem, she falls asleep. Genex wakes up with barely any memory of anything from his 13 years of life. All he knows is that he's got a pet saber-tooth tiger named Fluffy, his mom is dead, and that he's got a girl named Nora in his head (when he's really not supposed to). He woke up to the Aregonian gods, Osires and Zios, telling him about training and his future and staying away from Pantheos, the Aregonian god of the underworld. But everything they tell him to do, Nora says the opposite. Everything they say, Nora hints that they're lying to him. Unsure of what to think, and with Nora continuously telling him to simply "look deeper" and "wait a little longer", Genex decides he needs to find the answer, and he needs to find the answer now. -> This story can also be found in To Be a Writer, but I wanted to publish it seperately as well. :)

H O W L by WolfWriter2000

There was a Spirit. A Spirit Wolf to be exact. She had fluffy white fur, and some parts as inside her ears, her paws, and her eyes glowed.This particular Spirit preferred to be alone. She did not like company. Only 2 years ago a raven wouldn't stop bothering her. Surprisingly, this bird became her beloved companion. He helps her with her job as a spirit-and distracts her at times. The Spirit Wolf's job is to bring life and to pass life. Bringing life is to help plants grow and to watch over all of the new mothers in spring. To pass life means to let a corpse sink into the ground and become one with earth itself. If the creature that passed had a good life, the Spirit would put them into the afterlife. If they died a very unfair death or was too young for their life to be over, she would help them reincarnate. She could not reincarnate a creature every time it was killed, though. It would only make them have infinite lives. The Spirit Wolf seemed unhappy when she did her job, but she enjoyed seeing the faces of pure happiness of the new mothers. To summarize her duty, she needs to keep the law of nature in order. Even though she despises humans, she helps them too.

Fire Scarred by TeaCupAnomaly

Caught between two boys, her new powers, an extra parent, and a disease ridden spirit crazy for power, she has to make some decisions she never thought she'd have to make. Now it's only a matter if she can make the right ones, and if she can do it before time runs out. *First Round of Edits~More edits (possibly to story line) yet to come*

Wolves Den by Koda122

Remi has always loved the forest, the different sounds, smells, the way she could get lost in it and never have to go home to her non-existent parents. She goes in and out of her life with her best friend everyday just waiting until they're both old enough to leave their small boring town. But one day Remi is attacked, and nearly killed, by a man in the forest. When she wakes up everything's different. She feels something inside her, a power, but she has no idea what happened to her. All she remembers is the man's strange yellow eyes. When three new boys show up at her school, one with yellow eyes, asking her question she gets nervous. And then one night while heading to go get her friend she's taken and thrown into a world she didn't know existed. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Remi?" Jen says suddenly. "Hmm?" I hum back. "Do you ever wish you could just live in the forest? Away from everyone and everything?" She looks at me. "Free." We stare at each other for a long time. I see the real meaning in Jen's eyes. Her worries for going home to her overly strict parents. Her fears for the future and the unknown in general. "If we lived in the forest we wouldn't have gummy bears any more." I comment to lighten the mood. She doesn't find it funny. "I'm serious Remi! What if we did run away?" "Jen, we can't just run away. I know your parents are strict but I truly think they just want what's best for you." She says nothing. For a moment I fear she's mad at me but then she puts her head on my shoulder and I know we're okay.

The Missing Link (Book 1: Outcast) [CURRENTLY EDITING] by Arianna_1204

𝐀 𝐖𝐀𝐓𝐓𝐏𝐀𝐃 𝐅𝐄𝐀𝐓𝐔𝐑𝐄𝐃 𝐒𝐓𝐎𝐑𝐘: Stranger Summer Reads Destined to meet. Destined to fall apart. He was the worst thing that could've happened to her, and yet she was the best thing that could've happened to him. Olivia Rhodes has never been one to care much about someone's past, on who they were or what has made them become the person they are now. Her world is seemingly perfect: a humorous best friend, two loving parents, her baby sister-who cries a bit too much-and a bright future waiting for her once senior year is over. But her life would unwind into a world of secrecy when her neighbor suddenly moves out and someone else moves in. Hunter Black is the new guy in town, and everyone is talking about him. Handsome, charming, and mysterious, it almost seems like he acts as a beacon for attention-good and bad. Olivia wouldn't have cared about him in a normal situation, but it seems like the closer she gets to him, the more she finds herself lost in a world she didn't even think existed. There's something about Hunter that she wants to understand, uncover the complex web of lies that is building around him. And she's going to have a good reason for doing so when she finds out she's the only one who can see him in his true self. ---------------------- 𝐀𝐖𝐀𝐑𝐃𝐒: -Runner-up on the Spring Book Awards 2019 with a score of 98/100 -First place in the Paranormal Category on the April Blue Rose Awards ---------------------- 𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐄𝐃: 07/23/2016 𝐅𝐈𝐍𝐈𝐒𝐇𝐄𝐃: 07/08/2019 CURRENTLY EDITING (LIKE, HEAVILY EDITING) ⚠️ 𝐃𝐈𝐒𝐂𝐋𝐀𝐈𝐌𝐄𝐑: Chapters ARE long since they all carry a good amount of content and have the actual length of a physical book chapter, so I do apologize if that's not what you like. Although you should still check it out. I heard people think the story is pretty dope....
