Intro:
I turned around, not because of any sound, but because of the intense smell of charred wood coming from behind me. It flooded my nostrils and forced me to breath out of my mouth-which wasn't any better. 

I could feel the heat on my back, even though I was several yards away. I turned around and was flooded with the image of loss, death, destruction. My eyes burned from the smoke. It felt surreal, like a mirage. I watched this beautiful country home decay and fall into itself. It looked familiar but then again nothing about it triggered any sort of memory.

 It was practically noiseless which made me realize that my hearing was impaired, there was blood trickling from the corner of my ear. I pressed my hand to it and looked at it in awe. I had never gotten so much as a cut, now there was a steady flow pouring out of the side of my head. Or had I? All of a sudden I was acutely aware that I had no memory whatsoever.

**WARNING** ~contains explicit content that may not be acceptable to all viewers. discretion advised~ "No no no no..." My words trailed "NO!!" I screamed, pulling harshly at all my restraints, attempting to get free, hearing the harsh clank of metal on metal with every movement. Colder than the table beneath me, chills ran through my body. This couldn't be happening, please. A sadistic laugh rang through the room and my head fell in defeat as my eyes squinted closed, not wanting to see his face. "Yes, actually." I felt his disgusting, filthy hands trail down my arms. I could feel him leaning forwards, moving himself closer to me. I couldn't bring myself to open my eyes, so I just lay there, waiting for what I knew was to come. "You're mine now, mut." His voice made my body tense more than it already had. The way he sounded so angry. So possessive. I dared myself to speak, "W-what ar-are you gonna d-do to me?" My voice shook and wavered so much in my fear that it was numb to my ears. Alpha Dave let out a low, calloused chuckle that sent chills throughout my body. He said, in a deadly low voice, "I'm going to remind you who you belong to." * DISCLAIMER- In this story world, each person gets five potential mates! * Blake Daniels' story has been one tragedy after another, Complications littering his route, tripping him on his journey through life.

Geovanni Have you ever gotten that feeling that somebody was watching you? And that person who was watching you wasn't normal. I have felt that way all of my life; but then again I felt as if I went missing nobody would even notice or care I was gone. I am 23 and just graduated from college. I was there an extra year because I had to take care of my family. I had to transfer back into the city and pick up the extra work because my mom died, and my dad became addicted to anything that would numb his pain. My little sister and brother would be lost without me here. But now I could care less. A cold breeze blew through my window waking me up from my thoughts. I looked over in the corner and saw that nothing was there. It was odd because I felt like someone well more like something was there. It had to be my imagination getting the best of me. I laid back in my bed and closed my eyes. Then all of a sudden I got the feeling I wasn't alone. But the really strange thing is that even if there was someone in here with me I felt safe. Jordan. I watched her as she slept. In fact I have been watching her since she was born. I have waited half a century to find that one person. I think I have finally settled on her. She was my choice. I know. After being in as many relationships as I have you know things. I felt my fangs tingle. Her blood smelled so sweet. Her heartbeat was steady and strong. I took my tongue and ran it across my fang. The temptation to indulge in her red liquid was far too strong. I let out a low growl and jumped out her window. I was ready for a hunt. "Did you see her Jordan?" "Yes, and tomorrow night you will turn her," "Why do I have to turn her?" "Ezra, you know once you turn them, they hate you," "I didn't hate pops," "You wanted to join though," "True, but first see if she wants to be turn before you jump to conclusions," I nodded my head, before me and Ezra took off to find some fresh blood for the night.
The Forbidden Had Awakened by KVENPAI
7 parts Ongoing Mature
A young man wakes up to a shattered reality-a fog of fragmented memories and a world that feels foreign, even though it's his own. Distant ringing echoes in his ears, the weight of an unbearable headache clouding his thoughts. His father's voice cuts through the confusion, but the words barely make sense. "Son, do you know what happened?" He doesn't. All he remembers is a blur of whiskey, a deep sense of unease, and a voice-compelling him to sleep, to forget. But now, in the harsh light of day, something more sinister gnaws at him. The disorienting feeling that he's been caught in something far darker than his mind can comprehend. Was this what it felt like to carry the weight of a lie? To feel guilt when you've done nothing wrong? To be haunted by a past you can't remember, but that refuses to let you go? As the days pass, the truth begins to unravel, not in the way he expects, but in the echoes of his own broken consciousness. The night of the pool party remains a mystery, but one thing is certain: someone died. And though he can't remember his involvement, he knows he was there, a silent witness-or perhaps something more. Who was the voice that guided him into oblivion? What kind of pain could push someone to such lengths? Caught between the lingering shadows of a crime he can't recall and an unrelenting pull towards the answers, he must confront the most profound question of all: Why was he left behind? In this haunting psychological mystery, the line between innocence and guilt, memory and illusion, begins to blur-until the truth itself becomes the greatest enigma of all.
