(Official Unification Short Story Winner)
When seventeen year old Elias Hart arrives in Black Hollow, all he wants is to disappear. But the quiet mountain town isn't empty, it's watching.
The forest presses close on every side, ancient and unmoving, and something within it knows his name. It begins slowly: strange dreams, a voice that speaks only to him, a pull beneath his skin like a thread tightening with every breath. The other students avoid him. His reflection shifts when he isn't looking. And always, the woods wait.
Whispers speak of a boy who vanished last winter. A name: Noah. A coat left behind. A carved token that shouldn't be warm.
As Elias begins to unravel the town's buried history, something buried in him awakens. The line between memory and identity blurs. He is being watched, guided, changed and the deeper he follows the call, the more he begins to wonder if he was ever meant to escape.
The bond is ancient.
And the forest remembers.

Sixteen-year-old Opal has grown up in shadows, orphaned and misunderstood, her strange "episodes" branded as madness. She hears echoes of futures that haven't happened yet of screams, fire, the sting of smoke in her lungs, as if she's already lived through what has yet to come. Accused of crimes she never committed and locked away in a psychiatric facility, Opal has no idea she belongs to the same bloodline as Alice Brandon Cullen, the legacy of a sister Alice cannot remember. Drawn by visions that feel too personal to ignore, Alice begins to search for the truth, about her lost family, and about the girl who mirrors the life Alice herself once endured. But Opal's gift is more dangerous than anyone realizes. As Alice pulls her into the secret world of the Cullens, questions rise: is Opal meant to be saved, or is she destined to burn in the very futures she foresees?Complete

And when he signs a clumsy hello in ASL on her first day of school, Mara's world tilts. There's something different about him. Something dangerous. Something... ancient. And maybe she should be afraid. But thunder doesn't run from the storm. It becomes it.
