My dreams have a hold over me. I can't escape them, no matter how hard I try. I'm caught in a web that has me entangled so tightly I'm not sure I'll ever find a way to break free... When she was born, Gwen Connolly was left at the hospital. Her mother ran away and never looked back, leaving Gwen with nothing more than unanswered questions. Seventeen years later, Gwen has moved on. Grown up. She has a family and friends, and everything seems to be going in the right direction for her – until the dreams start. And not just any ordinary dreams, but ones that last for days and are so real that Gwen begins to think she might be crazy. Especially when she starts to fall for a forbidden boy who seems determined to keep her away from him. He is only a character in her dreams, not real, not alive, and yet... she can't seem to control her feelings. As Gwen begins to uncover the truth about her dreams, her world, and herself, she realizes that whatever lies in wait for her is something much, much bigger than she ever imagined. And it is only just beginning.

The Tether : Tale of a Restless Soul
Amanda Fulwood has always felt out of place. Since she can remember, she was never capable of distinguishing the real from the fake, her mind constantly questioning whether she lived what she remembered or if it was just an outstanding dream. There's always this voice in her head, this coldness so sudden whenever she comes back to it. As bone-chilling as the air in a morgue, the feeling never fails to keep her up at night. It only got worse over the years, her visions turning more and more vivid, constantly wandering further away from this realm every time. Living in a small town has its perks, especially when you're the mayor's daughter, but it also comes with a handful of disadvantages. Her reputation as the local nut-job precedes her, and when she's found naked on the school football field, it only furthers their assumptions. Once caged and once freed, Amanda still struggles with the reality she is to face, one where just maybe, she really is insane. Or maybe, her mind is the keeper of something darker, sinister even. For the small town of Milton Oaks, crime is a non existent hassle. So when Amanda's memories seem to correlate with the events of the darkest nights in town history, she's left with a mystery on her hands. One that holds all the explanations she craved, for all the years plagued by those thoughts. But going down that route is a path of no return. Once Pandora's box has been opened, there's no closing it back. Among all the questions Amanda has, the only one that is hers to answer is, "Can she handle it?" Read the book and find out😉
The school of wielders
In a school where security is lacking, teachers don't care and parents are curiously not in the picture, a prophecy needs to be interpreted. Do not read if you expect logic and cohesiveness. This is purely a tribute to the books that inspired me to grow. Consider this as a compilation of scenes you go back to read in your books rather than a complete story. This story is based on an A.I prompt. Take it with a pinch of salt. Enjoy the story without thinking too much about logic as I promise there are plot holes as this isn't an evenly paced story but rather a chronological compilation of scenes.Complete![214 [Am I real]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/355968505-256-k773145.jpg)
214 [Am I real]
"In a world of newness and uncertainty, I caught a glimpse of you, and it felt like a dream. It was as if fate had brought us together, whispering promises of hope and connection. In that brief moment, I dared to believe that what I saw was real, a reality I yearned to embrace". ♡ Joyce, a 12th-grade student, embarked on a journey of adaptation in a new school, where everything felt unfamiliar.

He was nowhere to be found, leaving a void in her soul. Yet, in the midst of uncertainty, she clung to the special pen he had given her, a tangible reminder of their connection.
