Alice Milner was a silly girl with a head full of nonsense... just how she liked it. Hers was a world of the impossible come to life, of dreams made real. Of fears faced, and expectations evaporated.

But the world is dark and full of horrors. And when her resilience is tested in the crucible of modern society, she must rely upon a nightmare foe from the fantasies of her youth to help her find a path through the shadows back to the light.

She needs help, and she can't afford to turn her nose up at an offer of help, even from her sworn nemesis.

To those who dream with open eyes and hearts by Darkinnocence8
68 parts Complete Mature
Every girl desires three things in her life: a loyal best friend, top-tier grades, and a flawless romance However, fate loves to throw unexpected curves. Instead of a tragic tale, I simply craved a sweet fairytale with a happily ever after. In the aftermath of Audrey's death. Life became a series of storms. I encountered new faces, weathered the challenges, and even found myself a wonderful boyfriend. Yet, just when the warmth of happiness touched my fingertips, the storyline unexpectedly shifted, revealing another layer of complexity. Dating the most popular guy from school feels like a dream fulfilled, but am I truly happy? I always believed I was the good girl with good grades, only to unveil buried desires-longings to be chased, tamed, and tied Entwined in a world where light dances with darkness, and villains lurk in the shadows. A single doubt, and I've sabotaged my fate with my own hands. The desires I once craved in the shadows have become dangerous-risks of my own creation. Now, dreaming is no longer an option; all I can do is run. In the twisted dance of fate, I never planned to entangle with a psychopath. No girl dreams of such darkness, yet our meeting felt like a forbidden ritual, and every touch, a dangerous spell. His winter-grey eyes held a mysterious allure that captivated me, but little did I know, staring into them would unleash a storm of trouble. Now, I'm pursued by a relentless predator who sees me as his lost love, a perilous game where escape seems impossible. Stuck in his tight grasp, there's no getting away from Carson Winter Grey. Hiding is useless; he's like a really creepy guy-obsessed, toxic, and great at messing with your head. You can't shake off his looming threat. He's not just a bad dream; he's the kind that sticks around. Before anxiety takes over, his name becomes the scream you can't hold back.
