I'd Like to think I was a good person, before it all began. I didn't cheat on tests, or steal. But throughout my entire life, I was treated if I were a monster. At the age of five, after several agonizing tests, I was diagnosed with Reactive Attachment Disorder. But not even that title could describe just how strange I was. When another kid got hurt, I would cry. Whenever someone else was told a funny joke, I would laugh hysterically. People looked at me as if I were crazy- and for while I agreed with them. That was until I, Caddie Jones, was exiled to Nox Haven Academy, a school for truly special kids. Not the mentally ill, psychotic kind of special but the magical kind. Like witches, vampires, fairies and werewolves. Call me crazy if you want, you wouldn't be the first. But the stories are all true. The supernatural did exist and I was one of them. Life there was cool until suddenly, I was faced with two-faced witches, egotistical princes, hormone driven werewolves, and an army of evil warlocks who were threatening to destroy the world. ... Maybe Nox Haven was a school for psychos after all. ---------------------------------------------------------- Highest Rank: #2 in Paranormal 1st Place winner of The Night Shift's Killer Competition 4/10/16 Illustration by: Stephanie Pitino (www.ClairObscur.fr) (1st book in series)

Pacifica Southeast has came to her Great Uncle's tourist trap for the summer along with her cousin, Gideon Gleeful. Soon, it becomes clear Gravity Falls is no ordinary town with creatures locals are blind to, and Gideon and Pacifica go on adventures they wouldn't have dreamed of in California or New Jersey. But when they run into psychic twins Dipper and Mabel Pines, they have to do whatever it takes to keep a journal from them that could easily destroy their world while Pacifica is slowly falling in love and Gideon is trying to keep love-crazy and possibly psycho Mabel out of his way of finding the author of the journals. (Also, this story focuses more on adventure than ships, but there is a little bit of Dipcifica [okay maybe a lot of chapters worth] but everything is rated PG to PG-13. There is mild language and a little blood but should be okay for anyone over 12) ALSO PAY ATTENTION HERE: I send messages to my followers about Reverse Falls instead of updating the book, so if you love this story follow me for updates!
