Rhea is a solemn young woman that finds the disturbing comforting and fascinating. Once tormented because of her preferences, she has learned to hide her true passions and act the part of an ordinary Krimson City citizen. Though lonely in her isolation and bored with the ideals of others, she is content with the sliver of freedom she indulges in.

On a seemingly normal day, a body falls from the sky, and by some stroke of luck, Rhea's shiney new camera captures the identity of the fallen angel. That photograph has become her most precious treasure.

Time passes, and Rhea's photography class has been given the chance for their portfolios to be examined by an ex-war photographer known as Stefano Valentini. Despite the disgusted faces that storm away from the show, Rhea, entranced by the artist's gruesome work, wanders deeper into the gallery, wondering if she will finally find understanding...

In a world where the black sheep are casted out, has Rhea found someone that can embrace her passion? What will become of her once she is caught in his lens?

"You have intertwined our destinies. You involved her into this mess from the beginning of it all but now I'll intervene." He challenges. "You took away everything from me and I never questioned you. I never bothered. But now I see what you're doing there. Trying to make me the villain of your story. Aren't you? Fine, I'll be just that." He adds menacingly. _________________________________________ Within the soft petals of flower Pihu Bhattacharya was the spirit of a burning fire. She was selfless, flawless. She could drain herself for others. She could go to any lengths to fulfill her responsibilities. Because that's what a flower does. But she could also burn down the entire world within a blink of an eye. She could destroy everything if she deemed fit. Because that's what fire does. -------- Rage. Pain. Agony. Jealousy. Manik Raj Nagpati never knew these feelings, until one fateful day he saw her again and felt all of them at once.

My classmate is a demon... by Zwicky04
32 parts Complete Mature
------------- "Why're you staring at me?" I ask teasingly. I hear him letting out a breath, of embarrassment or guilt I don't know. "I may have unintentionally hurt you, on several occasions. I may have done the wrong thing more than once. But despite all of that I still like you, hell if I know I might love you. I've never felt the way I feel about you for anyone else before. I can't stop thinking about you. Your laugh, your smile, your voice. How you manage to pull a joke at a time like this, to how peaceful, and beautiful you look when you're sleeping." I smile. "You okay? Did you hit your head or somethin'?" I tease. "Shut up." ------------------------- Olivia, a 16-year-old girl with a tragic past. Her sister was kidnapped and brutally killed, her father comes up with the brilliant idea of moving. As she's getting settled in school, she meets this mysterious boy, and before she knows it she is dragged into hell. Literally. Figuring out that the kidnapper is connected to the murder of her sister, might be her downfall. Especially when she finds out her big family secret, and the terrifying fact that her classmate, is in fact, a demon. How will she deal with the new turn of events and how her life has been turned completely upside down. Especially when she was convinced that she would only focus on school, something that is now so far down on her list of important things to worry about, that she barely even remembers to show up to class.

The Art of a Monster by SarahMKJ
43 parts Complete
Stefano Valentini. A 25 year old serial killer in Krimson. Creative and charming. Confident and calm from his passion, but angry and scared from his secrets. Valeria Leone. A simple 24 year old girl who works at a coffee shop in Krimson as well as the opera house. Talented and humble. Loved by some from her kindness, but disliked by many from their jealousy. __________________________ "The sick bastard is finally dead. I don't know what made him think that he was an artist." Sebastian said as he sat down in the chair. "Maybe it wasn't a what. Perhaps it was a who." Tatiana replied before Sebastian gave her a key. "What kind of person would want to be near a monster?" Sebastian said. Tatiana was quiet for a second. "Everyone has a dark side detective. You, me, him. Everyone. Some have managed to fight it. Some have tried but failed. Others decide to embrace it." Tatiana said as she unlocked a locker and took out a few bullets. Sebastian sighed. "He must have really embraced it then." He said as Tatiana gave him the bullets. "No one has the power to fight it alone. Perhaps he lost the battle against his monster when he lost his ally." Tatiana replied as she started to draw on the board. "I doubt that he even tried to fight it." Sebastian said under his breath. "And you have detective?" Tatiana said as she looked back at him. Sebastian was quiet. He couldn't think of a reply. He knew that he never tried to stop his alcoholic habits. "Don't be so quick to judge people when you have just as much evil within yourself." Tatiana said before Sebastian got up. "There are many sides to one story detective. Next time, read them all before you judge." She finished as Sebastian started to walk away. She was right. As much as he didn't want to admit it, she was right. Perhaps he should know the whole story about Stefano. Perhaps he should know the story of a person and the meaning behind the art of a monster.
ZEN - Part Two [COMPLETED] [#WATTYS2017] by DJElliott
51 parts Complete Mature
THIS IS PART TWO OF TWO. If you've yet to read through Act One, I suggest you do that first. Most days, you can find Mizuki Nekoyama in Hell, creeping through pitch-black passages, disabling deadly traps, and avoiding even-deadlier monsters. But that's the job of a Scout; highly-trained and extremely-capable individuals willing to brave the Depths in exchange for money, power and prestige. Most often, however, their careers are cut short between heartbeats if they let their guard down for just a single second. For the past five years, Mizuki, or 'Zen', has lived with the guilt that comes with losing her friends and lover inside one of the nation's Dungeons, and has searched far and wide for the person she believes is responsible for their tragic demise. She might be obsessive, compulsive, brutal, and slightly crazed, yet its exactly those traits which will allow her to progress in her mission; track down her quarry; and along the way found an organization capable of bringing entire nations to their knees. (Note: Cover Art ripped from a Google search. Whomever the creator is has an amazing talent, and I hope they go on to do Many Great Things.) DISCLAIMER, in BIG, BOLD LETTERS: This fictional tale deals with topics including, but not limited to: Slavery, Brutal uses of Swords and Magic, Murder, Racism, Sex, LGBT-Q, Political Intrigue, Rape, Torture, Bloody Slaughter, and much, much more. Naturally, there's also a lot of laughter, love, excitement, action, and suspense. Comments and feed-back are always appreciated, as are shares, likes, votes, and other positive reinforcements. Trolls can just slink back under their bridges.
