"The ones choosen by the Destiny" by kuromi48
18 parts Ongoing
It had been six months since their wedding - an arranged marriage that neither of them had expected to fall in love with. What began as a polite partnership had grown into something quietly intoxicating. Sky had learned to share his world, to open up the parts of himself he'd locked away. Nani had learned what it felt like to be truly seen, to be loved with a fierce, almost possessive devotion. Their days were ordinary in the most beautiful way - shared breakfasts, lazy evenings, laughter echoing through their modern apartment. Their nights were a blend of passion and peace, bodies tangled together, the world fading beyond their heartbeat. To the world, they were perfect. But behind that perfection, destiny had already begun to weave something darker. ___________ When Sky was offered a new project - to renovate a centuries-old mansion deep within the forest by a quiet lake - he felt drawn to it for reasons he couldn't explain. The proposal arrived through an anonymous investor, the details unnervingly vague. The mansion itself was massive, long abandoned, yet its architecture was hauntingly beautiful. The lake beside it shimmered like glass, unmoving, silent - almost too silent. They moved temporarily into a nearby bungalow - modern, luxurious, and eerily quiet. The few neighbors around rarely stepped outside. Even the air felt still, as if the whole place was waiting. It was supposed to be just another project - six months of work, a lifetime of reward. But from the moment they arrived, Nani felt it. A pull. A whisper. Like the walls, the lake, the forest - they all knew their names already. As if something... or someone... had been waiting for them to return. And soon, both Sky and Nani would realize - love isn't the only thing that can survive lifetimes. Sometimes, hauntings do too.

"Who is the more likely suspect, the hunter or the hunted?" Artemis, the last of the Solivan family line, is nearing the end of his career as a hunter. His family's most prized relic, the fabled Cora Ruby Heart, has brought them prestige since its acquisition but according to legend, the gemstone comes with a fateful price. At its centenary, fourteen college students, a closely-knit group of friends, decide to spend their winter break at the island, now a retreat spot owned by Artemis' secretary and close friend, Callisto Altria.
