Beth loves books. In fact, there is a whole third floor dedicated to books in her old-style house. Said house has servants, all the food imaginable, and seemingly no escape for Beth. To feel like she has left the house, each day, once her father leaves the house, Beth goes upstairs to read. She has access to over four thousand books in the library, but she isn't allowed to touch one of them. This book has been read successfully by only one person: her father. Everyone else who reads it seems to have died peacefully, or at least, that is what the evidence on their body shows. People inside of the house when the death happened hear the screams of the book's victims before their mortal bodies perish.
As her relationship with her father gets worse and worse, Beth is drawn to the book more and more. She eventually starts to read it, until there is no way to stop...

Emerald Summer
((Completed)) I stay on the floor. I sit staring at the bedroom door for hours, seething with anger at myself. The more I think the angrier I get. I know anger won't get me anywhere, especially here, except maybe dead. Still, I sit enraged. The whole house is silent. It's probaby the most quiet it's ever been. Normally it would soothe me, but the fact I had been sitting here almost all day now turned the quiet afternoon silence into fuel for my fire. I look over at Jade who had barely moved at all. I wish I could protect her. She came back for me even though I told her not to. There's not realy anything I can do though. Maybe I could make some kind of deal? No. That's what got us here in the first place. Then again it really can't get much worse. I have to try something or else I don't know what will happen to her. I mean she's the toughest person I know. Everyone has a breaking point and I don't want to see her get to that place. I'm already the worst friend ever, all I do is make things worse. I stare at the wall and pace the room for a few more hours. When's he getting back? I need to get out of this room and talk to him. ----- Sheri and her bestfriend, Jade, find themselves kidnapped by a sociopathic sadist named Todd during a road trip to Minnesota. To make things worse, Sheri and Jade both know no one's looking for them. They're on their own. It's a mess they can't possibly get out of, alive.Lengkap
