For most people, becoming a vampire would have its usual complications and oddities. Lucy O'Connell's journey into immortality is no different.
Until her unquenchable curiosity leads to her uncovering a horrifying secret.
A secret that could destroy everything.
Sometimes the truth is best left buried...
Note: This is not twilight. I repeat; THIS IS NOT TWILIGHT. There is nothing about vampires that is inherently tied to romance so, as the author, I have the freedom to do whatever I want! What I want to do, right at this moment, is not to write a love story. If you're looking to read romance, that's cool, but in the interests of your success I would strongly advise that you not look here.
Trigger Warning: There will be some mention of suicide and depression. Its not a big theme in the story, but I just don't wanna upset anyone. Sending lots of love to people who are struggling with these issues, or any other mental health issue/s. xox

𝐄𝐌𝐁𝐑𝐘 𝐂𝐀𝐋𝐋 𝐱 𝐎𝐂 That's all they ever thought she'd be good for. A good imprint. Quiet... caring... nurturing... she'd never be strong like her brother. She'd never be enough to meet the standards they set for a true, worthy warrior. So when the tragedy struck, and the one person she knew she had on her side left her... she became everything they never thought she could be. She became powerful. She became strong and fierce. She became a warrior. Johara Black understood the sorrows of being underestimated and neglected better than anyone. Besides her mother, everyone believed her to be weak and powerless. After her mother's death, Johara's bitterness and resentment towards those people festered. She was tired of being cast aside by her brother and his friends. She was tired of being neglected by her father. She was tired of being ignored by everyone. When she befriends a nice old lady that takes Johara under her wing and trains her to become something more powerful than anyone could imagine, she finds herself being offered the chance to prove them all wrong... Who was she to say no? [𝐒𝐥𝐨𝐰 𝐁𝐮𝐫𝐧] [𝐓𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 - 𝐏𝐨𝐬𝐭-𝐁𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐃𝐚𝐰𝐧 𝐏𝐭. 2]

" You only truly miss someone when they are gone. And sometimes, it's hard to let go. But you have to let him go..." It is hard when your loved one is gone. But for Riley, it was something different. In a sick sort of way, she loved it-reminiscing about Leo, literally drowning in the memories of him. And it isn't long till Riley does drown herself among those gray memories, shutting and shunning the world forever, in a place too far to reach. She is already so gone, that every one of her friends and family are very close to giving up, and on each tick of the clock Riley is close to letting go. Will a curious stranger's words save her, or will Riley try to save herself? *If you read the summary, and decided that it is some sort of typical clichè , I'd like to tell you that this is NOT a cliche 'damsel-in-distress-saved-by-a-knight-in-shining-armour' story at all. You won't find anything such as that, as the tags suggests too. But yes, there will be few moments of cliche.* •Warning• : Things about suicide, self-harm, depression; contains kissing and cuss words-so read at your own risk And also, even though it's edited, it still can have few mistakes. So sorry for those errors! Cover by me! Trailer by carpe-di3mComplete
The Greylands: Modern Edition
A land of shadows, of mystery, of obfuscated Truth. Welcome to the Greylands, that strange world, within the bounds of Time, peopled by mortal men. We cannot see truly, only as through a glass, darkly. There are things that move and have their being completely beyond our ability to perceive them. There are things beyond our mortal ability to comprehend. There are hints and glimmers hidden within the body of revealed Truth, but there is much we do not know, cannot yet understand, and could never dare dream. These stories are mere fancy, with a seed of Truth at their core. They play with the ideas of mortality and Eternity, Time and things beyond it, and of course the epic battle of Good against Evil. Each stands alone, and though there are common themes, threads, names, and concepts, each story is an entity unto itself and should not be seen as occurring in the same world or mistaken for installments of a series. These are random musings, not Gospel Truth, and should not be taken as such. Joy, hope, and encouragement are hopefully a byproduct, but certainly not sound Theology. If you would know more of the true world beyond these Greylands, one must be a careful student of the Scriptures, not of silly stories such as these. While still fairytales, these stories are set in modern surroundings rather than the land of Faerie! Each story is unique unto itself, and doesn't reference any other story, world or character elsewhere.Complete

The Dark Rose 🌹 {18+}
[COMPLETED] ೋღ🌹ღೋ He stands roughly a few feet away from me, his body towering over my crouched one. I bring my legs up to my chest, pushing myself further into the wall as he kneels down towards me. He brings his nose to the crook of my neck, my face grimacing as I await for the pain. He breathes in, "hmmm, you smell so delicious." He coos, his breath fanning my neck, causing me to shiver In disgust. If only my brothers were here... "Wheres a delicacy like you been hiding this whole time?" His use of words has me on edge. His implementations imply that he's some sort of cannibal and judging from what he did to that other man I fear I may be right. I refuse to answer him, spitting in his face. My face bounces of the wall, the sting of his slap left behind on my cheek. I shake the pain away, placing a facade up to hide the fear within. You fucking bastard! I narrow my eyes at him, taking note of his features in case I miraculously survive this encounter. His hair is a dark auburn and his eyes that watch me with amusement are a dark blue. His attire was a black suit which seemed out of place considering he was standing in an alleyway. If I manage to escape I want to be confident that'd I'd be able to have this bastard put behind bars. Again if... His eyes shift, my eyes widening as his eyes turn from a dark blue to a pool of black, red veins trailing along from his pupil to the edge of his eyes. His voice is dark as he commands, "Show me that pretty little neck of yours." ೋღ🌹ღೋ ⚠️ Warning!!! This book is extremely dark and has depictions of Mature language, violence, sexual activity, sexual and physical abuse, including rape. Rape is a serious crime often overlooked where the victim is made to believe it is their fault. I do not condone rape however, it's a reality. Please only read if your 18+ and with caution.
