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.

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.

Angel Blood by dahliawritess

Calliope has one job: to hunt the supernatural terrorizing mankind. What she never anticipates is being drawn to the same creature she seeks to end. ** An outcast to her kind, Calli is well-seasoned on taking the dirtiest jobs the angel blood can find. However, she'll find this one takes the cake on being the worst of all. Sinclair Black, the infamously sex-fueled playboy, is assigned as her next victim. Unbeknownst to her, the upper-level incubus also reins as the city's most notorious hitman. To survive his wrath, Calli finds herself in a soul-bond that will only break when she repays a debt. Now she'll just have to fulfill her end as his pet before her divine brethren find out--or survive the grave consequences that come with betraying their sacred bloodline. Once she pays her due, she'll be free, but first, she'll need to wrestle the biggest challenge of all: resisting the wicked temptation that is Sinclair Black. ** {18+} #1 paranormal (2/4) #1 enemieswithbenefits (12/24) #1 gangs (1/21) #2 badboy (4/10) #1 obsessive (8/3) #1 darkromance (2/22)

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}

Pills and Passion by Wandering_Alma5

One word to describe Lorenza's life; wrecked. One sentence to describe Lorenza's life; a total fuck up. Besides the fact that Lorenza hadn't had a clue of having a mental illness her entire life and having to gulp down pulls hourly, being the bane of her existence, Lorenza never had a clue she was different. ___________ Here's a quick storyline. Girl goes through life with a stitch, eats pills like blueberries and obsesses over the earths art as if it's oxygen. Her mother in a mental institution and her father having no clue how to fix his broken family apart from ignoring its fucked in the first place by trying to shove pills down their throats. One day things go off the tracks, the pills go down the drain and so does Lorenza's life. And her life is screwed just like that; but that's not the whole story of course, because why would it be? __________________________________________ 🛑𝕎𝔸ℝℕ𝕀ℕ𝔾🛑 𝕋𝕙𝕖 𝕖𝕟𝕕𝕚𝕟𝕘 𝕠𝕗 𝕥𝕙𝕚𝕤 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝 𝕚𝕤 𝕚𝕟𝕥𝕖𝕟𝕕𝕖𝕕, 𝕒𝕟𝕕 𝕥𝕙𝕖𝕣𝕖 𝕒𝕣𝕖 𝕟𝕠 𝕒𝕝𝕥𝕖𝕣𝕟𝕒𝕥𝕚𝕧𝕖 𝕖𝕟𝕕𝕚𝕟𝕘𝕤.

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]

Like the Dawn by LacheMooney

Tess begins her dream sailing peacefully along a pristine coastline; it's not long before a storm approaches, capsizing her. Normally the dream would end there, but this is a dream unlike any other. When she wakes up, she's still in her dream and discovers that here, her sign language has power. Back in reality, college-student Tess faces another storm; death, and the debris it leaves in its wake. Tess's Aunt Valentine, the woman who taught her ASL and practically raised her, is dying and treatment isn't working. On top of this, Tess is finishing her degree in English with hopes to make her mark on the world through her poetry. Oh yeah, and she's working in an art gallery for a family friend, Alice, preparing a new exhibit featuring the invisible beauty of trees. It's a hectic life to balance. And now, she keeps having the same dream in a living world. Every night she returns to find the world changed, whether its creatures of her subconscious she calls Tones or an oddly intuitive boy who claims to be her guide. Then there's the monster her Tones call Amiko who seems to want her dead. Tess is starting to think this could be a nightmare instead. As she dives further into the dream, she loses her grip on reality. She can do anything, conquer it all, but can she find a way to save her aunt?

My Neighbor, My Boss and an Incubus OH MY! by jk7248

Who knew my new apartment would be the one beside my new boss. Not only that but turns out he is a incubus which explains all the sex. Damn it! I almost fed on my mate. I can't believe my cousin had her bound like that. I was so hungry as I hadn't fed because I had to stop the incubus invading her dream only to find out it's my cousin. Lucky for him or he would either be dead or maimed. She tasted like heaven... well at least what I imagen heaven would taste like. Well, the kiss anyway. The smell of her arousal nearly sent me overboard. I wanted to bury my face in her pussy and eat her out until she came all over my face and then lick her clean. Shit! Shit! Shit! I'm surprise at my control. I stopped myself. Even though I wanted her I couldn't take her without her consent. First, I have to go feed. There is no other option. I'll call her and have her cancel all my appointments for today and tell her to stay home. No reason for her to work if I'm not there as today would mostly be meetings. I listen closely to my mate and her water turning off and her getting out of the shower. I picked up my phone and dialed her number.

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

Greeting Insanity by total-spazzoid

I find comfort in the colors of the world That's where the "doctors" have it wrong Sticking people like me In rooms adorned only with Plain Crisp White Walls White room White bed White toiletries White necessities It's vile It's cruel And it makes them seem a fool Placing me in a cell of plastic A cubical of my own destruction The world fades by Repeating Hazy Just because I'm what they call Crazy I see white White room White bed White toiletries White necessities It's stereotypical It's defective It feels Repetitive They first discover my "condition" A problem to them When I flung a can of paint Screaming My throat bled Ear piercing Agony ricocheting off the Plain Crisp White Walls As I released the inner me Congratulations On greeting my insanity
