(ManxMan) He doesn't like when I smile at others. He doesn't like when I cut my hair. He doesn't like when I go out alone. He doesn't like when I'm with anyone but him. He said I can't leave his side...ever. This is what I always wanted...isn't it? Gabriel didn't know what he was getting himself into. His mind belonged somewhere far, where reality and fantasy were one in the same. Unfortunately, that is what clouded his judgment. His muse was his master. His blood was his pleasure. His humiliation is what he survived on and on his knees is where he belonged.

The society is dominated by them. They roam the streets, thinking that they own the world. Well, to be honest, they do own the world. We, humans, occupy inferior positions in the society while they hold the important ones. They have the high-powered jobs while the best that humans can do is to get menial jobs. They are gifted with power, wealth, and good-looks, so of course it makes sense if humans must bow down to them. Kiss their feet, worship the ground they walk on, let them do whatever they want with us, the lowly humans. Don't let their crisp suit, their charisma, and their dazzling smile fool you. Behind all of them, there is a monster, lurking and waiting for the right time to pounce. And to top it all, they snatch away anyone that they like, whether it's a girl or a boy, and stake a claim on that poor person in the most barbaric way. They bite them, and lock them away from other people. Other people think that it is okay for them to do that as they are the ones who keep our society from falling apart. They are the ones that bring peace in the world. So it's okay for them to basically kidnap a human as an exchange for the 'effort' that they give to save humans from destruction. At least that's what they think. And unlike other humans, I'm going to change that. This is a boyxboy story, so don't like, don't read

Zale is a cry baby. He can't help it. He just gets so mad that the tears start flowing, which makes him even madder. It also doesn't help that the world is sinking. Unpredictably, the land shifts and entire cities can disappear under the water. Zale and his family thought they were safe, until the water started to rise. They raced to higher ground and lost everything in the process. With no money, they find themselves in a world congested with flood survivors. They can't find work or even an apartment. Steel, the local underground boss, has an offer for them that will end with Zale's mother and sister in a brothel. It'll mean money and housing, but Zale won't let it happen. He offers himself instead if the group takes care of his family. Steel agrees. Besides, he wanted Zale to begin with.
