The night the new girl arrived in Ravenshade Valley, the sky bled red. The moon hung low, heavy like a secret, and the mist rolled across the cobblestone streets like it had come to warn the town. Seventeen-year-old Elara moved there with her father after her mother’s death, hoping for peace. But in Ravenshade, peace was a myth told to strangers. Her first day at the old Ravenshade Academy felt like walking into a dream half remembered. The air was colder, the corridors darker, and whispers followed her wherever she went. Students spoke of the “Crimson Curse,” a legend about a boy who had died a century ago during a solar eclipse, whose spirit still wandered the forest behind the school, searching for the girl who once betrayed him. Elara didn’t believe in ghosts. Until she met Aiden. He was unlike anyone she had ever seen — pale as the winter dawn, eyes like shattered glass, voice soft but filled with something old, something that didn’t belong in the world of the living. The firs...

The sun dipped low over the sleepy town of Maple Creek, painting the rooftops in shades of orange and gold. Sixteen-year-old Emily Reed stood on the hood of her old blue Jeep, staring at the sky as if it held all the answers she’d been searching for. In a way, it did. Because tonight was the night she’d finally leave her quiet town behind—and maybe, just maybe, fall in love along the way. She adjusted her backpack, filled with just enough clothes, her camera, and a crumpled map dotted with circles. Each circle marked a place her brother had once told her to see before he left for the army and never came back. It had been two years since then, and she still hadn’t been able to let go. But now, summer had arrived, and something inside her whispered: Go. She started the engine, but before she could pull away, someone knocked on the window. It was Jake Lawson—the boy next door, with sun-kissed hair, a reckless grin, and eyes that always looked like they knew more than he’d ever say. “Yo...

  Elara Quinn believed the sky was the only place that never lied. While the world changed around her — friends growing distant, parents growing quieter — the sky stayed honest. It wept, it burned, it danced, it glowed. Every afternoon after school, she climbed the cliffs near Windmere’s abandoned lighthouse and sketched clouds in her notebook, capturing the emotions she couldn’t say out loud. That was the day she saw him. He stood near the edge of the cliff, arms stretched out as if embracing the wind. His eyes were closed, his presence calm but distant, like he belonged more to the horizon than the earth. She didn’t speak. Neither did he. But when he left, Elara found something in the grass where he had been standing: a paper airplane, slightly crumpled, with one line of handwriting inside. “Somewhere, we’ve already met. Even if this is our first hello.” The next day, Elara returned with a paper airplane of her own. She left it in the same spot. “If we already met, why does ...

In a quiet town nestled between wide fields and sleepy hills, 17-year-old Elena Grace lived a life of invisible rhythms. She wasn't unpopular, just unnoticed—like the last golden leaf on a tree that no one ever sees fall. Her world was books, music, and the skies. She believed in constellations more than people and trusted stargazing to tell her things no one else could. Then came Mason Rivers. He moved to town in the middle of junior year—messy hair, worn-out sneakers, and a smile that looked like it hadn’t been used in a while. He was the kind of boy who carried his past like a backpack with broken straps. Rumors floated: expelled from his old school, trouble at home, a heart broken too early. But Elena didn’t believe in rumors—only in eyes. And his? They held galaxies. They met in astronomy club. It was one of those small-school clubs no one paid attention to, where five kids showed up and only one actually knew the difference between a star and a satellite. Mason wasn’t th...

It began on a humid summer night in the small lakeside town of Pinefield, where everything seemed peaceful — at least on the surface. The lake shimmered under the silver moon, surrounded by whispering pines and the soft hum of crickets. But beneath those tranquil waters, something ancient stirred — something that would soon change the lives of two teenagers forever. Eighteen-year-old Ethan Cole was the kind of boy who dreamed big but felt trapped in a small town. His father wanted him to work at the family’s mechanic shop, but Ethan longed for something beyond the dull roads of Pinefield. Then there was Lena Rivera , a wild, fearless girl with fire in her eyes — the kind of girl who didn’t believe in rules. She had just moved into town with her mother after a messy divorce, and from the moment Ethan saw her at the gas station that summer afternoon, he knew she was trouble… the kind of trouble that makes life worth living. Their first conversation happened at Crimson Lake , the forb...

Every October in the quiet mountain town of Ash Pines, the wind whistled through the trees like a warning. Legend said the forest came alive beneath the blood moon — once every century — and whatever entered didn’t always come back the same. But to seventeen-year-old Rowan Blake, legends were just bedtime stories meant to keep kids from wandering too far. Until she met him. The boy with the storm in his eyes. It began during the last week of October, when the town’s fall carnival rolled in like clockwork, bringing lights, music, and a temporary distraction from Ash Pines’ sleepy routine. Rowan had never been much for fairs — too many people, too much noise — but her best friend, Jada, dragged her along, swearing this year would be different. She was right. There, at the edge of the Ferris wheel, stood a boy leaning against a ticket booth. Lean, shadowed jaw, dark tousled hair, and a worn leather jacket like he belonged in a different decade. His name was Kai. And the moment Rowan ...

  The night was unusually silent when Elara stepped off the old ferry that brought her to Raven’s Hollow Island . The mist hung low, curling like ghostly fingers around her ankles. Her camera swung gently from her neck — she was here to document the island’s forgotten ruins, not to fall in love, and certainly not to awaken anything dead. But destiny, as always, had other plans. The island was small — cliffs on one side, a forest thick with black pines on the other. At its heart stood a crumbling stone mansion , rumored to be cursed. Local fishermen told her that no one who entered ever returned. Yet Elara felt drawn to it, as if the wind itself whispered her name through the trees. She reached the gate by dusk. It screeched open with a reluctant groan. The air smelled of rain, salt, and something ancient. She raised her flashlight, its beam landing on a name carved above the doorway: “The House of Lysander.” The moment she stepped inside, thunder rolled — and that’s when she ...

  The sky over Windmere High was always the same shade of soft blue, the kind that made you feel like something magical could happen. It was the first week of September, the kind of week where the air was still warm enough to feel like summer, but you knew change was coming. For sixteen-year-old Eli Harper, change had already arrived. Eli wasn’t popular. He wasn’t the guy people pointed to in the hall or whispered about in classes. He didn’t play sports or post videos online or have a perfectly styled haircut. He liked sketching clouds in the back of his notebooks and sitting by the science building during lunch, away from the noise. But something shifted the day a girl with a scarlet scarf and quiet eyes sat beside him without asking. Her name was Lila. She didn’t introduce herself the first day. She just sat there, reading a book with a cover that looked older than time. She didn’t speak, and neither did he. They just sat in silence, the kind that felt oddly comforting. The nex...
