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.

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."

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. Please do not use my content without crediting me, and with a link to its source*

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.

The Ballads of The Skeleton Crew by TroubadourVILever

The boy had never been scourged by dread, not really, untouched still of startling agony to become his reality. He spotted the imposing cliffside meaning to change that by mere accident, kept in defiant remembrance still of this heavenly music descended upon Earth from Heaven, magnificent, majestic and entrancing, this blue ship which had came last night to conjure mystery and great brilliance vibrating with splendor and glory born, like summer sunshine brought unto gloomy night, unlike anything ever heard of. He paused in thought to look at what was dangling from these rocketed walls, instilled immediately by mortal agony. What encountered him there was awful, horrific, spun from his nightmare to turn to atrocious truth. They left a message for him, these strangers, a message for all mankind. All the people from the town were nailed on the colossal rock with obsidian spikes the size of fists, hidden in the darkness as horror always lurked there within. Blood, everywhere. The spikes ripped skin open, tore their bodies apart to let it be a grotesque image, the self-portrait of Death itself. Stiff pale limbs, grossly tangled together, a myriad of heads decorating empty space. A few mutilated legs and arms lay motionless on the bottom of it, of the mere terror, the waves had yet to reach and clean the crime scene, crimson rocks and red sand carnation furthermore. The details swam and blurred his view. He was thankful, for a glimpse sufficed a lifetime. When the dark ship came, it didn't only warn the people of the Destruction following behind, they carried it themselves, bestowing it willingly and with intent, purpose, unknown and arbitrary as it may seem regardless. People rumored among their crowds that they were in fact the cause, the real Bringer of Death. The Harbingers of Cruelty. The Black Squad, Side of Doom. Known perhaps better by their most famous name, the Skeleton Crew. _ updated irregularly, because life is hard

To be Claimed by Her by theEveofChaos

An Academy fan fiction. The Blackborne and Toma teams had fallen apart after learning Sang and Kaylie were agents for Volto. When a new mission comes across the desk of Owen Blackborne - seven abductions in the Charleston area with two confirmed deaths that can't be explained - he feels like his family needs to help. Maybe it will be a way to bring them back together with a purpose once again. Eveleen is a solitary witch who works around the world battling dark forces. When a coven in the States reaches out for help, she feels compelled to respond. She finds herself staying in a small cottage down the road from a mansion of rather curious bachelors until magic decides to ensure their paths cross. *****I bolted upright in the bed, chest burning and my sheets drenched in sweat. I grabbed my pounding head. It was the same dream I'd had for almost two weeks now. Every time I watched the car crash into the water after swerving to avoid the shade that attacked the two passengers. One man was able to get out of the car before it plunged over the edge, but the second man with the crystal blue eyes was trapped. I'd never seen him before, and I had no idea where the crash happened, but it definitely wasn't in Ireland. And each time I awoke before rescuing the man. This is an original work, loosely based on the characters CL Stone created. It is set about eight years after the Ashley Waters mission and will feature all Blackborne and Toma team members eventually. The female protagonist, Eveleen is an original character solely owned by me. This story is not intended for readers under the age of 21. Mature content includes: M/F, M/M, multiple partners, reverse-harem abuse, sexual abuse, non-con rape, assault, self-harm, depression Blackborne, Toma teams, and Academy are all subject to CL Stone's original work and this is a fan fiction purely for entertainment.

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.

Phantom; Blessed by the devil, Cursed by the gods by Jays_Novels

Lucifer chuckled, hiding his earlier annoyance in a heartbeat. "You've grown so much" he said. "I'm sorry I haven't come to see you sooner, it's very hard to leave a place you've been confined to for eternity, but I've made sure my demons watched over you, you've become quite the Phantom" Phantom. The ghost is here. "What did you call me?" Sal asked. "That's right I nearly forgot, you have no idea who you are, much less what you are, and so you consider yourself to be nothing awaymore than what others tell you to be" said Lucifer. "But don't worry, I'm here to change that, I keep my promises Salome, well sometimes that is" ................ Sal was many things. A weirdo yes. A dealer absolutely. A warrior? Definitely not. But all that changes when the Elder's Court, a combination of gods, angels and demons, asks him to go on a hunt, to find and kill a necromancer whose plans might cause a rip in the fabric of reality. Sal agrees and though he is powerful he needs the help of five Shaded beings from the Other World to help him. Little does he know that this one task has the potential to birth many things. Love leads to loss, loss leads to pain and pain leads to regret. Will he be able to complete his task? Will he die before he gets his chance? What sacrifices would he have to make? And what did it truly mean to be a Phantom?
