Annalise Lancaster seeks revenge against the demons that killed her older brother. After his death she joined N.O.D.E, an elite demon hunting group, that trains anyone who is willing, to defeat the monsters that hunt in the dark night. 

Emery Carson, once a normal teenage boy, struggles to reclaim his humanity from the demon that lingers under his skin. Fueled by the anger and despair that seep into his very bones, he fights back to gain control of his life. 

The two must work together if there is any hope of defeating the demons that threaten everything they know. Will they be able to vanquish the darkness or will it swallow the world?   

STORY EXCERPT: 

"Don't shoot him," Her voice quivered, from both panic and fatigue. 

Emery shook his head at her. "Let them," he muttered, voice calm, decided. 

Ashton was so close to her now. She could make out the chocolate irises surrounding his enlarged pupils. His dark hair, peppered with grey, was tied back into a ponytail at the nap of his neck. He wore the regulation cloak and black combat boots of a demon hunter. His eyebrows were furrowed in confusion at her words, the protection she had offered the demon was unheard of. 

"Please, Ashton, don't," She urged him again, this time pleading. Emery's words echoed in her mind 'Let them'.

Luna Girls by xxXFallOutGirlXxx

[COMPLETED, BEING EDITED] ...Suddenly, the door swung open, letting in some light. Now, I could see that I was in a dungeon or prison cell or sorts, but it was the only one. I can't believe, but I didn't have to look up to know who it was walking in. "Ian?" Elsie gasped. "Tanner?" Utica questioned. "Theo?" Cider asked. "Hey girls." Ian and Tanner said in unison. "Why are we here? Why are we chained up?" Elsie hissed, trying to yank at the chains again. "Look," Theo ran his hands through his hair, causing Cider to bite her lip. Probably to stifle a moan or something, I don't know. "We need to tell you something." "Promise us you won't freak out." Hunter said. I could feel his turquoise gaze looking down at me, but I just stared at the concrete floor and felt the water droplets from my hair drip onto my white dress shirt--wait, I wasn't wearing a dress shirt. Did somebody change me? Oh hell... "Oh yeah, I promise to trust my kidnapper." Cider huffed from right next to me, her words dripping with sarcasm. "Fine." Theo sighed. Gasps were heard throughout the room. I slightly glanced up, and instead of four boys stood four giant wolves. Cider and Elsie used their hands closest to Utica to stop her from blowing out our eardrums out with her scream. Once she quit, they let go, but that didn't stop the great Utica Ladino. "Holy sh*t!" Arianna, Utica, Elsie, and Cider are in for the ride of their lives after they meet the mysterious new boys at their school. Their normal lives turn a 180 just to see this new world of blood, laughter, fur, teeth, and crazy pregnant ladies.

Blood and Ashes by urlove_mar

In a world where darkness reigns and monsters rule, humanity's survival depends on those with power. A decade ago, the Earth fell to horrific creatures-beasts that tore apart cities and destroyed what remained of civilization. In the aftermath, society fractured into four groups, each shaped by its beliefs and the supernatural abilities that arose in response to the terror. Angels heal the wounded but at the cost of their vitality. Demons wage war on the monsters, fueled by their thirst for human blood. Rare and feared devils wield blood magic that allows them to control the essence of life itself, but they must feast on monster blood to regain their strength. And then there are the God-powered-a mysterious few who possess elemental abilities that could hold the key to ending the chaos but are believed to be little more than a myth. Emery, a quiet college student, lives in the shadows of this broken world. Though she possesses the powers of a Devil, she keeps her identity hidden, unwilling to draw attention. Her days are spent in isolation, away from the chaos, with only her books and a few trusted friends to keep her company. But when whispers of a possible God-powered emerge, Emery is thrust into a deadly race. If she can find them, the union of the Devil and God could be the world's only chance at survival. But trust is scarce, and betrayal lurks in every corner. Demons are unpredictable, Angels are slowly losing their strength, and the Devils grow increasingly detached from humanity, fueled by the monster blood they consume. As the hunt for the last hope intensifies, Emery must navigate a world of shifting allegiances, hidden agendas, and monsters that are not always what they seem. In this dystopian future, where fear and power rule, Emery will have to decide if saving the world is worth the cost of her humanity.

The Wolf's Prey by courtneyrush756

[completed!] Under editing! Man kind, invincible and scared of nothing. We were the superior race, and we revelled in it. We all thought we were the ones at the top of the food chain, completely untouchable. However it was like I said, we 'thought' we were. In the darkness lurks a creature like no other, that prays upon us. Hunting us! Waiting for just the right moment to strike, to knock us off of our high pedestal and back onto the ground. I know this because I have seen this beast. Been face to face with it, battled toe to toe with this creature, fighting for what was left of my life, and I was losing! - - - - - - - - "Watch out!" I scream in alert, as a hard thudding sound pierced our ears as something slammed into our side of the car, sending a sensation of dizziness as the car spun of of control. The screeching tires dragged along the floor, with the faint stench of the irony liquid dripping from my head as it all grew still...

Gabriel X Reader by Iriswrites777

{COMPLETE! STORY!} SPOILER ALERT !!! If you haven't watched supernatural up to the season finale of season 13 you won't understand and it would spoil it and it's too good to spoil for anyone. ⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️ (Y/n = Your name) (F/c= Favourite colour) (L/n = Last name) (h/c = hair colour ) ( h/l = Hair length) (e/c= eye colour) Highest rankings #2 in Gabriel #2 in spn #3 in angels #4 in blades So a little bit about the story now: So I wanted to say that this story doesn't follow the series 100% of the time. Main reason being Lucifer has one big weakness which is you, the reader, making him have a change of heart through the normal series. Along with the hunts in your past change the course of the future. So if you notice something's are different or slightly changed that's why. ( sorry if that bothers you, use your imagination to change it to fit your desires) With all this being said I hope you enjoy.

Demon Hunter (Male Reader x OC(s) ) by DarkSoulsz

If I wanted to drop a pin on the timeline of my life, to point exactly where everything went to shit I'd say that when the line between reality and dreams started to blur. I was seeing things, I am still seeing things that only the most disturbed of minds could conjure. They are nothing but illusions, yet they were so real to me that it felt like it wasn't my imagination. I felt as if I was actively peering into a world that was waiting to invite me in. That's when my world went topsy-turvy. The line that separated the horrors of my mind from the sanctity of reality was erased, and the monsters were let in.

Nightlights: Guardians of the Edge by ChrysoulaT

Ajax Holdren didn't think his life could get much worse, until a pretty girl with a sword decided to fight a monster right outside his house. But it turns out the monster is after him, and she's what passes for a guardian angel. They call themselves Nightlights, and they use the remains of alien technology-- and magical swords-- to fight the living darkness that preys on sentient life. They live in a tower discovered by humanity a thousand years ago via portals controlled by the tower itself. And the very best Nightlights are young adults. Most of them begin the training as children... But once Ajax meets Natalie, he can't go back, can't pretend the monsters aren't there. The power awakened inside him-- and his own relentless need for a place-- drives him forward. But stepping through that portal takes him into a alien world, where the walls talk and the sun never shines, and humankind's worst enemy isn't the monsters who stalk the street but the people who make them. (Updated 3x a week)

Fauna Clarice Rheasydia is one of two of the most feared assassins in all of Ker. The Ebony Nightingale. Trained since four, her identity has been kept secret, leaving only rumors of her bloody wake to whisper through the streets.

Darius Zandro Rosendal is sick of playing the picture-perfect Crown Prince of Vandaria. His father sees nothing but a ghost when he's nearby, too busy praying to the Gods and their Saints that his wife's womb carries another boy. Darius's life force runs through the veins of his guard and best friends. He has the family he wants, all the luxury wealth can buy, but still finds something missing. That is until an unexpected visitor gives him hope for the life he's only dreamt of. Can they keep the demons coming from every direction from breaking down the walls? Are they capable of fulfilling their destiny? Or will they fail and damn the world to its crumbling end? This is just the beginning, and hope is running thin. **Average Word Count Per Chapter: 4,000 **Edited (x1) LET ME KNOW IF YOU SPOT GRAMMAR ISSUES!

The Age of Solace: The Silver Wolf by -loneXwolf97-

Volume 1 of the "Age of Solace" series. (Part 1 of 4). A serious dark-fantasy story. Descriptive violence and gore, as well as dark themes (Rated M, no lemons present). Peace. Conflict. War. Bloodshed. This is the way of things, and this is what happened between the dragons and mankind. Once they were allies. Man was ever growing and learning, while dragons were their guardians, watching over them. But mankind was greedy, and from that greed bred betrayal towards their great allies. In times long ago, dragon and man worked together to rid their realms of the demonic presence that once invaded their lands. Together, they defeated that enemy. But now, dragons are near extinct and the demonic menace has returned. There are humans that possess abilities that allow them to fight back, but it is not enough. Such humans have banded together, in a group called Corvin's blades. They hope to be able to defeat their enemy without the aid of dragons this time... but there is more to all of this than anyone understands. This story follows multiple youthful characters as they not only aid in the fight against the demonic threat, but learn and grow as they discover more about the lands they live in and of themselves. Views on dragons are changing, demons and spirits are invading, and two individuals are in the center of everything that is happening. Was it fate and destiny... or choice and coincidence? *Rated M for descriptive violence and gore, as well as dark themes* * Chapters to be updated* *Cover art was made by myself.
