At Ridgewood High School, the biology lab is more than just a classroom-it's a gateway to discovery, intrigue, and the unexplored mysteries of life itself. Mal Rivers and Evie Thompson, two brilliant yet vastly different minds, form an unlikely partnership that reshapes their understanding of science and each other. While Mal's calculated logic and razor-sharp focus dissect the complexities of biology, Evie's boundless creativity and unorthodox approach bring the subject to life in ways no textbook ever could.

Under the guidance of the enigmatic Ms. Taylor, the pair embark on a groundbreaking project that pushes the boundaries of their knowledge. Tasked with decoding a fictional organism's DNA and imagining its evolution, their journey begins as a simple academic challenge. But as they delve deeper, strange anomalies arise-patterns in the genetic sequences hinting at connections far beyond their classroom. Suddenly, their project feels less hypothetical and more real, as if the science they're unraveling holds the key to an unsettling truth.

As the duo races to piece together the genetic puzzle, they face unexpected obstacles: secrets hidden in Ridgewood High's history, tensions within their friendship, and a growing realization that their work might have consequences they're not prepared to face. In a whirlwind of scientific breakthroughs, moral dilemmas, and personal revelations, Mal and Evie discover that understanding life's code requires more than intellect-it demands courage

Hidden deep in the California valley is the Aves Department for the infamous C.R.O.S.S. Laboratories. Offered an internship this esteemed genetic research lab, biology graduate Aurora Hall felt like she was living the dream. However, she soon begins to question the commonality of all the locked doors and vague answers from the shady staff. When she finds an abandoned ID badge with access to the highly restricted Section 3, she can't help but take a look. What she finds makes her question why she was picked as an intern, and she is faced with a choice that threatens to uproot everything she knows about science, humanity, and even love. ▪️▪️▪️ I flattened my palm on the cold glass and held my breath. My heart raced as I watched him tentatively lifting his hand to reach mine. Then I saw it. A flash of white in corner of my vision. Turning my focus away from the man, I focused on the white shape behind him. Craning my neck, I tried to inspect it further but my confusion only grew when I recognized it to be a patch of white feathers. Wait...feathers? He must have noticed my gaze because his lips quirked up into a proud smile and suddenly the patch of white grew into an entire wing. No, not just one, two wings...and they were attached to his back. -Rankings- #1 in Creature 3/03/2021 ❤️ #1 in Beast 1/27/2023 ❤️ #1 in Subject 8/27/2022 ❤️ #1 in Dystopia 3/25/2020 ❤️ #1 in Laboratory 4/27/2021 ❤️ #1 in Science-Fantasy 4/21/2023 ❤️ #2 Young Adult 4/18/2023 #2 Strong-Female-Character 12/20/2021 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED [NEW COVER 4/3/2021] [COMPLETED 4/9/2022] *WATTPAD EXCLUSIVE STORY*

Shadows of the Forsaken

5 parts Ongoing Mature

Ever since she could remember, the experiments had been part of her life. As a child, they were harmless-just puzzles and strange potions given to her by the woman she called Mother. Back then, she believed it was all a game, a way to make her smarter, stronger. But as she grew, the tests changed. They became invasive. Painful. Each experiment carved new scars into her skin and left her mind tangled in unanswered questions. The woman she once trusted had become a stranger, her warmth replaced by cold calculation. And then the voices started. A shadow lurked within her, whispering, clawing at the edges of her sanity. She wasn't alone in her own body-something else had been forced inside her. Something ancient. Something hungry. Now, she's free... but for how long? With the past chasing her and the monster inside threatening to take control, she's left with one question: Was she ever meant to survive, or was she only meant to become something else?
