art curse gustave horror melody painting wattys2014

"I must have hit my head a lot harder than I had anticipated, or maybe breathe too much smoke because this is definitely nut-case crazy. Or a very creepy dream that feels way too real for my own good. I can pat my subconscious on the back for that one, but at the same time, it might be a little over the top."
When Melody set fire to a museum she didn't expect to hit her head on the pavement and wake up in a nightmare. But she does. And this nightmare is not a nightmare apparently--it's a curse.
A curse that traps her into paintings. And there's no escaping from the wrath of a possessed painting out to teach an art-hater a lesson.

The Lone Witch [Black Butler] by Fallen_Angel_Otaku_

Melody is a quiet, distant, shy, and very beautiful young lady. However, everyday she is bullied at school for reasons she doesn't know why. But what everyone doesn't know is that she is a Witch. Whenever she sings, it hurts the hearts and ears of those around her. The Queen's Guard Dog and Queen's Spider, and their butlers, are sent to America to put an end to this. But will they be able to when they meet the Witch of Songs? {Note: This is a story similar to my late sister/friend called The Lone Wolf. As much love as that book has gotten over the past years, I wish to bring back the book but with different characters and plot (somewhat) This book is dedicated to EmoWolfie, my late sister/friend}

Cursed by Love [SDS x JJK Fanfic] by DecemberAzure

There are many kinds of curses in existences, and sometimes some folks would even regard some good things as a curse. The most popular belief being a curse to some jaded folks out there is that 'Love is a curse'. It makes one weak, vulnerable, pathetically stupid. But love is embraced despite the dangers of the double-edged sword it brings, not that Yelena would be aware of it. That is until one day on a mission changes everything, and becomes oblivious to the suitors out for her heart while continuing to combat the dangers of the Curses. [Collab with BlueGalaxy1993]

Nightscape by jrdigimon11

A collection of stories based of my dreams and nightmares. Recently I've been having vivid dreams and nightmares that seems recurring or just memorable. Either caused by my anxiety or troubles that I don't acknowledge. People always say that there's meaning behind dreams and I'm here to figure out what it means or just to share an interesting tale. Some people have wacky dreams but for some reason mine seems to be pretty creative and straight forward that's good enough to write a story for. That's what I use my dreams and nightmares for, inspiration. Hopefully you guys enjoy these short and easy to digest stories. Cover Art by @goomimg on IG If you guys ever want an art commissioned, I highly suggest you check her out.

Violet Witch by NVMelissa13

"Let's go for a party." They said. "It'll be fun." They said. Well my best friends were so wrong. So very very wrong... My world literally turned upside down after that one night. It was supposed to be my first High school party and it was the day before my 18th birthday and in case your wondering, my birthday is on Halloween. Pretty cool right? Not. At the stroke of midnight like Cinderella or some shit, my powers were unlocked. And get this... I'm a witch. And there's this evil demon lady called Lilith who my mom and dad locked up in the depths of hell that is hell bent on killing me for some reason (pun intended) and I have seven days to find a way to stop her. Urgh! The only positive thing about this is that Lucas, the son of Lucifer, is helping me, along with his wolf familiar Sydney. I may be catching feelings for him and I think he feels the same. I'm Melody by the way. #5 in princeofhell #8 in familiars #10 in portals

𝐀 𝐇𝐀𝐏𝐏𝐘 𝐀𝐂𝐂𝐈𝐃𝐄𝐍𝐓 by Lazybaby63

🎀𝐀 𝐆𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐆𝐢𝐫𝐥'𝐬 𝐒𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲🎀 16+ (𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐝)(undergoing a makeover lol) 𝐋𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐮𝐫𝐚 𝐖𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐚𝐦𝐬 is a struggling artist with dpd, just trying to get her art work noticed. When all things fail, she decides to go to a party her friend invited her to, hoping to let loose and forget all her problems, but what she didn't know was that this was a typical frat party, meaning Liliura was going to have to be extra careful. At least she tried...until she decided to take a drink from a random guy. She blacked out only to wake up in a holding cell. It didn't help that she didn't remember anything that happened at the party or that the tattooed Greek god sitting next to her invaded every thought in her mind. -𐀔- "Do you by any chance have 50,000 dollars?" I looked at her with a raised eyebrow. Why would a girl like her need that much money? It must have something to do with why she was in the holding cell. When she noticed I didn't answer her eyes shined with nervousness. Usually I'd like to see the uneasiness in people but, on her, I'm not so sure I like it. "Why do you need it?" I said, causing her eyes to widen as she quickly averted her eyes to anything else but me. "Well, I might have destroyed a very expensive painting and I kind of need to pay the people back-and before you say anything, it wasn't my fault, it was drunk me fault." I let out a sigh and ran my hand through my hair. This girl is something else. -𐀔- Follow the werid, cute and complicated relationship of Victor and Liliura including: Emotional scenes Corny Jokes Romance And so much drama that it will make you feel like your watching a reality tv show. -hope you like it- [warnings are included] *The Main Character has Little space syndrome therefore her actions might seem childish and odd.*

The Companion Series by DepravityCorner

KillerVlogs uploaded a new video! Tape #00: Calling Creepy Numbers "A company? A friend? Simply someone to talk to. I've been... lonely as of late." The line went silent for a moment and before Killer could answer, the voice asked. "Are you perhaps... interested?" ---...--- KillerVlogs is currently LIVE! Now Streaming: Help Me "How long are you going to keep me here?" The camera positioned on uneven surface. A broken leg propped on one of the small chairs and beyond that, an easel was positioned along with a canvas effectively blocking the figure currently painting the holder of the device. The soft light of the morning from the windows betrayed the air of discomfort. The comments of the live stream pour like heavy rain. 'GET OUT!' 'RUN!' 'Is this true, like no ARG shit? Somebody call the cops!' The figure behind the canvas paused from dabbing the brush delicately on the image. Killer just know that his host was sporting a sweet smile as he said: "As long as it takes." ---...--- WARNING: This story will have dark tones and not at all, a completely healthy depiction of romance. I don't condone such behaviors in real life but for the sake of telling a story, this will be the point of view of the characters. In no way do I support the later warnings so proceed with caution.

Ashley Dreams| Completed by Faceless_Paradoxa_

"I observed the girl in the mirror, grimacing at the sight of her hair colour. I watched as the girl twirled the brown locks in her fingers ruthlessly. The girl's porcelain skin was painted with grief and nostalgia. The problem with nostalgic feeling was that: She didn't seem to recall what must be recalled. All she saw was flashes of bones, twisted hands, sweaty bodies, a Victorian house and Danny's nerdy glasses." ----------------------------------------------------- Ashley Moss, a perky fourteen- year old prep, saw her life change from a rainbow to a hurricane on the chilly December night of her best friend, Danny's, birthday. After seven months of nightmares and depression, she finally decides to catch the culprit who brought death to many innocent souls. The only problem was : She couldn't remember anything ----------------------- Just give it a try!
