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'.

Abnormality in normality. by yoruyami61

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! Please don't! No, don't do it please! No, please, I am begging! Not again please. They didn't listen. They didn't. They kept on doing it over, over and over again. They were like a blood-curdling spoilt alarm clock signal repeating itself endlessly. There was actually no end. My tired baggy eyes slowly fluttered open. Everywhere was moving in a gradual wobbly pace. I felt dizzy. My head was banging and banging relentlessly like a popcorn machine. Nauseating flashes of familiar faces covered up in grisly blood popped up in my terrified mind. I immediately gagged as a result. My stomach churned as the flashes slowly became more vivid. "Oh, you're awake? That good for you" A deep, yet falsely gentle, voice pierced through my turmoil. "Care for another round?' he said giving me a sinister smirk. "No please. I can't take it anymore! Just kill me please!" I said while wet flow of tears ran through my cheeks. Warning : This book may contain suicidal thoughts, torture scenes, trauma, gore, bloody scenes and lots of deaths.

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.

Tír na nÓg Trilogy, Book II: The Rising Dark by SarahQuinnMcGrath

In this second installment of the trilogy, Emery finds herself trapped in an ancient world to which she feels little connection. With no notion of who she once was, no memory of the relationship she shared with the man who claims to be her husband, she struggles to understand her place as well as her heart. As if those tasks weren't enough, an ominous entity known as the Dark Man seeks her, haunting her dreams, biding his time before he asks a question to which she must give the right answer, whatever that answer might be. The aid of friends from two very different worlds, the continuation of mysteries begun but unsolved, and the threat of enemies both visible and invisible combine in a tale both fantastical and romantic. ** This is part of a trilogy. The first and third installments are available on Wattpad as well!

Darkness and Beauty (The Fated Series, #1) by _Hiraeth_Author_

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. Little do they know that the blood pooling at her feet isn't that of her victims, but instead that of someone she may have never truly known. Lance Arthur Rheasydia, The Sinister Fox. Trained alongside his sister to protect those he cares for, more so now than ever after the death of his soulmate and betrayal of his best friend. He has no path left to follow aside from that of his family, and even that is beginning to narrow. Or is it widening? 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! NOTE FROM ME! - I very much model my works to resemble published examples, so there are no notes in any chapters from me, trigger warnings for chapters, etc. Just the world my brain likes to escape to every now and then. Thanks for reading!

When The Sky Bleeds ✔️ by eden_ari

"The wolf desires to kill us before the demons even have a chance," Lily muttered beside me. My eyes flickered from the Crusader standing before us to his dire wolf. The beast wove through the mass of recruits, salivating, his silver eyes roving over each one like we were to be his next meal. "The second trial is upon us," thundered Desmond Castiel, his fingertips crackling with impatient flames. "I won't repeat myself again. Refrain from making eye contact with the demons, and do not be foolish enough to converse with them." His narrowed eyes settled on me, a warning glinting in their depths. I shrank further into my cloak. "Our purpose here is to hunt. Should you attempt to flee, the horde will surely tear you apart, ribbon by ribbon. Fear will lead to your demise unless you wield your faith as the armor it is. Am I making myself clear?" Omen towered over the Crusader now, ears pricked, nose twitching. The wolf knew. We all did. The damned were close. A shared glance with Lily conveyed our unspoken vow-we were in this together, come hell or high water. And by the looks of it, hell was just around the corner. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Everly Greywood has spent years battling what she believed to be schizophrenia, haunted by visions of terrifying creatures no one else can see. Just when she feels on the brink of losing her sanity, she's whisked away to a mystical spirit world where the truth becomes clear: the demons are real and so is God.

Nightfall by cmj2012

For Stone Rienhart it all started with some bad luck and a demon. His life was a quiet one, lived in a modest home on the coast of Florida until one rainy night when his curiosity gets him entangled with forces out of his control. He gets dragged into the afterlife and meets friends there, powerful friends that will accompany him on his journey to become a demon hunter. However, as he strengthens himself to get revenge on the beasts that tore him from his peaceful world he begins to doubt the authenticity of what he thought was a normal life. As he travels deeper down the rabbit hole that is his new life he now has to answer a question he thought he knew. Who is Stone Rienhart? *EXCERPT FROM BOOK* James grinned, "Ah, but you see we're not here for money, we're just here to give you some advice. We came to make sure you stay healthy!" "I'm sorry but I don't understand." Lincoln looked more than a little hesitant to hear this so called 'advice'. "I just wanted to let you know that there are some people in Eden that are very, very dissatisfied with your work. I would recommend leaving the city alone, or you might end up getting hurt, and we wouldn't want that, now would we?! I mean, look what happened to your slaves over there!" James laughed as he watched Lincoln realize what he was saying. Then, without warning he grabbed a metal pen and slammed it into the desk, leaving it embedded halfway in. "So if I were you I would let the people who are in here go free and leave Eden alone. Do we understand each other?" Lincoln gulped and squeaked out a, "Yes." James once again brightened up and patted the side of his face, "Yes what?" "Yes...sir." "Good boy."

At the Fields of Fire and Blood by crisyah_

The world is dying. Heaven and Hell have broken and collapsed, creating a post-apocalyptic landscape that is part purgatory, part platonic world of ideas, blighted by the horrors of the human mind. The sun lies dormant in the east, atop God's tower, while the west is plunged into darkness and haunted by all that lives there. There is no day and night cycle, nothing grows, nothing dies, nothing changes, unless magic is involved. Angels hunt creatures for their blood, to feed it to God so he can finish gestating. Demons kill and destroy aimlessly, their origins inexplicable and unknown. Stranger beings wander the ruins of what's left of the world. Humans need not eat or sleep, caught in a state between life and death. They cannot die or be born naturally, but they can be killed and they can be made. The few that survived with their sanity somewhat intact have locked themselves into warded cities, but their protections are feeble and often ineffective. The Order that united them is long gone, broken into factions known only by the sins for which they have fallen. The Houses that protected them are crumbling, falling into ruin as their members were culled down by angels and demons, as well as their own mad quest to save the world; the Pilgrimage, a vain attempt to steal into Eden and murder God himself. Soon, only the Scions will remain. Those that were left not due to merit, but because they were the last choice for being heroes. Those whose memories and minds are as damaged and eaten through as their world. Those who agreed to take on the mysterious Archons within their bodies and, through that contract, had ancient relics and rituals passed down to them. They converge onto a long forgotten neutral ground, trying to save themselves. A heroic journey through a nightmarish wonderland. A pilgrimage to God's tower, to make the world whole again. To cleanse the world of the horrors infecting it. To kill the God who will doom them all with his birth.
