||ONC 2024|| Twilight x Scooby-Doo || Why is Zoe's crush glowing blue?|| Zoe has no desire to chase after dangerous love and alphaholes. Not after that last time when a smug jock made her a laughing stock of the entire school! Cruz is the safest bet for a prom date--a top athlete who had never been noticed in any bad boy behavior. But he has a very important reason to avoid parties. Partying leads to kissing, kissing leads to passion, and passion can activate his dormant and powerful vampiric gene. So, he'd fix his classic car, play ball, and listen to Zen music instead. Basically, he'd do anything to avoid falling in love with Zoe. Too bad an Ancient vampire wants Cruz's unique abilities and she has no scruples about thrusting onto Zoe and Cruz precisely the things they are trying so hard to avoid.

UPDATES ON-HOLD UNTIL MAY/JUNE 2025 ❝𝑾𝒉𝒚 𝒅𝒐𝒆𝒔 𝒎𝒚 𝒆𝒙𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒆𝒏𝒄𝒆 𝒎𝒂𝒕𝒕𝒆𝒓 𝒕𝒐 𝒚𝒐𝒖?❞ Asael didn't want to marry, let alone be forced into it by his parents, with a woman he didn't know. But to avoid any conflict and continue being the good son in their eyes, he gave in and set up a prayer of adoration to ask for God's blessing on his future. Only for the devil to show up unprompted, irritated, and demanding to be returned to hell. But after pressing close together to hide the supernatural from another human, neither of them could deny the spark that flickered between them under the sheets in the dark of Asael's room. Finding himself stuck with potentially ruining everything between him and his family and the temptation to side with the devil, he might just give in to the latter. After all, with him, there was truth and freedom--the freedom to carve his own future, the freedom to carve a story to be told without any underlying fantasy. Or was there? Sometimes, even with the intrusion of the supernatural, destiny finds a way to emerge as the true story. - NO LONGER FOR ONC Used prompts #88 and some more from the @OpenNovellaContest #ONC2024 Read the first part for information about this and other stuff!

When you have the power to rewind it, you begin to wonder whether it's too much responsibility for one person to hold. ***** Sometimes, walking away is the scariest, yet the bravest thing one can do.
