BOUGHT BY WATTPAD WEBTOON STUDIOS FOR PUBLISHING/MOVIE DEALS!!! (Contract expired September, 2025) Winner of the Wattys 2020 Award in Horror/English "This book really hooks you with its intriguing premise. A super fun horror story rooted in Filipino Folklore, with a science thriller twist - think Jurassic Park meets It Follows." -----What the Wattys2020 Team said about Haunteds, Wattys2020 Winner in Horror category Plot: In 1974, the mysterious cult's mass kidnapping and ritualistic killing led to the summoning of the Shade-a paranormal entity of living shadow. Ever since then, starting in October in Bastillio-a city in the Philippines steeped in history and superstition-the Shade would be seen haunting twelve teenagers at night throughout the month, often resulting in their deaths. But the discovery of U.V. lights as a deterrent from the Shade led the government to establish a system to contain the Shade's threat. Fast forward to 2025, twenty years after the system had successfully prevented any more deaths, the media and global firestorm surrounding the phenomenon died down. So when sixteen-year-old Vergil Torres was identified as one of the twelve and was immediately brought to Biringan-the government shelter where haunteds like him would stay for the month-he was more excited than scared for his life. But the gruesome and inexplicable death of one of them during their stay in the supposedly safe house renews the horror of the Shade. Reluctant at first, Vergil, together with his friends and Major Coleman, decided to get to the bottom of the mystery, if they are to survive through the month.

She seemed to be at ease... but who knew she carried chaos in her head?! •• She started to walk away from me.. again. It still annoyed me how she carried herself so confidently around me, unlike any women I've come across. and that is what precisely that made me want her, to claim her mine. My eyes travelled down to her decending figure.. that dress looked sinister on her, as if it's screaming at my face to tear it apart and own the body that's under it. With two strides, I pulled her wrist, making her face me. Those hatred in her pitch black eyes and red lips screamed my attention. "What do you think you are doing Ezra?" she hissed in clear annoyance. "Oh nothing darling" I smirked "just reminding you who you belong to" She stared at me, breathing heavily. It's good to see I affect her. She closes the very gap in between us and arches her hips towards me. I feel our chests touching and we both breathe heavily. She trails her finger from my chest down to my pants where she carcasses my crotch. I close my eyes briefly thinking about how good she will feel. Slowly on opening them, I see her smirking down on me. She tip toes to my ears and whispers, "Is this what you wanted husband?" I inhaled her vanilla scents that has to be keeping me sane for past few months "sorry to break it to you but I'm not like the girls that throw themselves at you." saying she backed away and winked. Finally coming to my senses I realized what she just did. "Fine if you want to play dirty.. then dirty it is Mrs. Ambrosia. Wait until you beg for me" I smirked. "In your dreams, husband" saying she left. ••••••••• Awards: ^Runner-up in Paper Awards (14.06.2020) ^Winner in The Hard Work Awards (10.07.2020) ^Third place in The Writer's Glory Award (06.09.2020)

*His silver gaze, so reflective and transparent, was opaque and blocked off in disgust as he looked down at me with the first emotion I had ever seen on his emotionless face: a sneer so packed with hatred that I almost recoiled back in horror. "Just remember, you did this to yourself, princess," he murmured, his lips so close to mine that I could almost taste the hard bite to his words, his harshness and his hostility.* - They're the kings of the rival school, East Bridge.

Especially not them. - Copyright © 2020 signedlayla
