Dark mind by Ali_Adair

It was like we were playing a sick game of chess, trying to guess each others movement's and at the same time, worrying about our own. I didn't have a choice and was forced to say "Game on bitch." -------------------------------- Life for Juniper was never easy, even as a child. Her family was complicated, and she herself has always suffered from mental illneses that made her days hard enough as it was, not just for her but for her drug addict skitzophrenic father and bipolar alcoholic mother. As she kept growing up, the world around her became darker and darker until, at the age of sixteen, a man with a dark shadow and distorted, spine chilling voice infiltrated her nightmares, with the promise to bring her agony and pain if she did not do as he said. Now, Juniper is forced to act fast, for her life hangs by a thread. She must uncover the truth of her past, look past the lies of her parents and her own childhood, and fill in the blanks whilst dealing with loud voices in her head, shadows that follow her every move, and a man who she must obey in order to save her sanity, her life and herself. The question still remains, who is this strange man who threatens her very existence? Will she be able to stop him before he kills her, before he traps her in the darkness forever? Will she whistand the torture, will she handle it all? Or will she snap, will she bend and break like her father did, and his father before him? Because, after all, we are all fragile humans, there is only so much we can take. -------------------------------- * Contains swearing, may be triggering and is undergoing mayor editing . * Best Ranking: #1- Skitsofrenia #2- Alluring

She gets C's and B's in school, isn't necessarily athletic, but can run if she needs to, and never really knew her father as he left when she was young. But that all changes when Scarlet Widowking is murdered. Now Juniper is looking for who- or what- killed her, along side two people who just "showed up" the day after Scarlet was murdered. With an idea as to where her father went and an idea as to what she's dealing with, Juniper just might not be as normal as she thought.

[This story is horror Erotica/Dark Erotica] Alexis "Alex" Cross, an urban explorer and journalist with a reputation for diving into the darkest corners of the world, has always been mistaken for a man due to her androgynous appearance. This suits her just fine-it keeps people at a distance and lets her focus on uncovering the truth behind the mysteries she pursues. When she hears about Ravenhurst Keep, a decaying mansion hidden deep in a forgotten forest, she's immediately intrigued. The manor's sinister history-filled with tales of ghostly apparitions and unexplained disappearances-promises the story of a lifetime. But from the moment Alex steps inside, Ravenhurst Keep proves to be far more than she bargained for. The mansion, seemingly alive, traps her within its walls, and a brutal attack leaves her face scarred and her left eye destroyed. When she awakens in the basement, she finds her wounds mysteriously healed, but something is horribly wrong. Her left eye now reveals a horrifying new world-Ravenhurst Keep is filled with monsters, beings of unsettling beauty and terrifying power. These creatures, while seductive, are as dangerous as they are alluring, pulling Alex into a deadly dance where desire and danger are intertwined. Yet, they are not her only threat. The mansion is also home to other trapped souls-humans who have been twisted by the curse that binds them to this place. Seeing Alex as a rival, they hunt her relentlessly, driven mad by their own desperation to escape. Caught between the seductive pull of the monsters and the deadly wrath of the damned souls, Alex must navigate the mansion's ever-changing halls. Each step closer to freedom risks losing her humanity-and her very soul. "Hunted by Humans, Loved by Monsters" is an erotic horror tale of survival, where love and terror are inseparable in a nightmare that refuses to end.
