[completed] horror // paranormal // romance A witch girl tied to cursed demons and her dear puppet boy who kills them. ••• I traced the characters with a finger, my brows coming together with concentration as I read the curling black ink. It was a binding talisman - one of the many that had been strung across the door. And it had broken when the door had swung open. Dread seeped into my heart as I gasped out loud, a chill coming over me. I swallowed, breathing irregular, as I kept my eyes glued to the wooden floor. A shadow had crept up in front of me, belonging to the one thing that I had seen inside of the room just seconds before. The drummer boy lifted my chin up. When I met his eyes, I was paralyzed. The brown color was the same, but where that thin smile once was replaced by one that stretched wide, splitting his entire face in half. I stared at the sharp daggers of each tooth, legs quivering so violently I thought I would collapse onto the floor. "Hello, witch girl," the drummer boy purred, watching me with the eyes of a predator. "Thank you for freeing me." ••• cover by @scmimi note: This book contains themes of suicide, self-harm, bullying, religion, and superstition (particularly East Asian superstition). Although these aren't the main focus in the plotline, please keep in mind that the above are mentioned at least once. dec 31 2017 - feb 04 2019.

"I don't want to love you anymore" It's true. I'm tired of loving him. But I was held by an invisible chain, binding me into this inescapable world. I tried to leave and ended up killing myself. By the time I lost my breath, I will breathe another one. A new life again, and again and again. Like a broken stereo that's been repeating the same old song. I wanted to die peacefully this time. And I don't wanna love him anymore. *** It's a new reincarnation story and is also inspired towards the drama "Extraordinarily you" which I extremely love. Anyways, I really hope that you would like it all. All names, places and events are fiction and forgive me for my lack of English skills. I'm not fluent in that language and I hope you can understand, thank you. Please enjoy reading!
