Individuals are born into this world unique, in their own ways. A person's characteristics are never made to be in the exact form as another, why?, you may ask. Well, how monotonous would societies be, if individuals pursued the same dreams, expressed ideas in the same way and followed the same path only leading to the same destination? How much would we honestly achieve in life, following in the shadows and tracing the footsteps of everyone in society?

Wicked Fangs (On hold)
**_"I never believed in legends-until I became part of one. For centuries, whispers of a ruthless gang haunted my town, a group so feared that no one dared to speak their name. People said they weren't just violent men, but something far worse... something inhuman. I thought it was just an old story. A warning to keep children from wandering too far at night. I was wrong. They are real. And now, they know I've seen them."_** ________________________ "No one touches you. No one looks at you. No one even breathes near you unless I allow it." His voice was sharp, a growl vibrating deep in his chest. My back was pressed against the cold wall of his room, his body towering over mine, trapping me in place. "Why?" My voice was barely a whisper, my pulse hammering against my ribs. His hand came up, fingers threading through my hair before fisting it, tilting my head back so I had no choice but to meet his eyes-those stormy, merciless gray eyes that burned with something terrifyingly possessive. "Because you're mine." I swallowed hard, my breath hitching as his lips brushed against the sensitive skin of my neck. He inhaled deeply, his grip tightening. "There's something about you, something different. Your scent..." He let out a low, almost pained growl. "It drives me mad." His other hand ghosted over my throat, his thumb pressing lightly against my pulse. "I should keep you locked away, hidden from everyone. But even that won't be enough, will it? Because no matter where you go, no matter how far you run... I will always find you."
Give me shelter

You devalue your beliefs, your morals fall short and that hollow rock turns into your Mirror. Do you matter anymore? Would anyone care if you simply disappeared? Could you find your way out of the darkness? Look Closer is one of my favourite quotes and so I'll use it as a guide to understanding the complex characters you're about to meet.Complete
