REVISED 2018

Skinny, awkward, and plain ugly. That's what most people would describe Eva Farrow, a 15 year old girl yearning to be accepted and loved by her family, peers, and most of all: her best friend Vincent Parker. Unfortunately for Eva, Vince has already fallen head over heels for the beautiful brunette, Lissa Fox--who also happens to be Eva's tormentor. 
After witnessing the boy she loves asking her nemesis to be his date to Ball Night, Eva decides to ditch school and run away. She dashes through the woods near her neighborhood and comes across a small cabin she had never seen before. Inside, is a strange old ghastly woman who agrees to give Eva just what she wants: beauty and love, but for a price. 
Eva accepts, thinking the lady just wants her money, but she soon realizes exactly what she had bargained for...and it's anything but pretty.

The Secret of Soul by bvhfdjva
23 parts Complete Mature
“I tucked my light brown hair behind my ear and placed on my warm, light blue winter jacket and headed for the woods. He was here, breathing down my neck, yet not here at all. I felt his presence consume me, yet I felt nothing. The cold air whipped into my face and I looking into the July snow. “Whitney,” the spirits whispered. He was here.” What happens when one era ends and another begins? Whitney woke up from her afternoon nap when her best friend Sarah called. Apparently, the world was ending, despite the obvious knowledge it wasn't, and Sarah wanted to party. Whitney was always the third wheel when it came to Sarah and her boyfriend Jack, and was really not up for it, but she threw on some clothes and met them at the beach. Whitney met them, and after hours of torture, ran away from them after almost drinking cow blood. On her run, she saved lives and saw the world beginning to change. She ends the escape at Courtney's house, a local teen, who was drunk with her best friends. Unfortunately, the Ouija board "joke" turned into a true spell that slowly caused the human race to disintegrate and the rise of supernatural beings to become a reality. I dedicate this story to my best friend Zoe. Zoe, you're a constant inspiration for this and I love you forever for it!!!

[COMPLETED] #1 on the Hot list in category Short Story. "I have a problem. The name Eva Hawkins has been running through my mind several times the past four weeks. That's what usually happens when a boy starts developing feelings for a girl. I wouldn't know as I always claim, I've never fallen in love before. Perhaps attirance and looks in general made me feel as if I didn't need to love. I could get anyone as simple as it sounds. No feelings attached or reluctance. One-time things. But I was falling hard and swift. It does go crazy when boys develop feelings. Thing is I'm that boy, and Eva Hawkins doesn't know I exist." ________ Copyrights © 8planets 2021 ⚑Highest Rankings (Short story - mm/dd/yyy): #83 (08/24/16) #60 (08/28/16) #54 (09/01/16) #7 (02/26/19) #1 (02/28/19) & (08/12/19) ⚑Started: July 19th 2016 ⚑Ended: February 2nd 2019 ⚑Marked as mature for strong language + violence + suicidal content.
