Determined to protect her family from a government set on exterminating them, Willow flees the city into a chemical swamp full of mutated wildlife. 

Season 1 of Toxic Nature    
                   
                                                                                         ******

The world has changed, and so has Willow. A government formed by good intentions and a dying planet is killing everyone. The criteria needed to stay alive gets more stringent every day, and Willow barters her soul to keep the ones she loves safe. But when two children are sentenced to die, she risks it all to save them. Willow and her family make the deadly decision to run to the one place the officials won't follow. 

The bayou. Deemed uninhabitable after the dumping of mysterious, neon-green chemicals, Willow has no idea if they're running toward salvation or a slow, painful death.

But just like the rest of the world, the swamp has changed. When fish have fangs, alligators talk, and a wild man named Croc maneuvers like a beast, Willow will learn what it truly means to be human.

"I don't need tomorrow, all I want from you, right now, is tonight." ******************************************************************************************* Trapped in a contract with no exit, an agreement made without her consent.

Dark and Twisted by HannahLewis2011

"Everlynn... love... you..." it sounded like whispers in my head, vapors on the wind. "Everlynn... run..." the voice whispered. Why did it, no he, sound so fucking familiar? "EVERLYNN RUN!!" the voice screamed in agonizing pain before sounding so much weaker. "You can't see this... RUN!!" I could hear him sobbing, out there somewhere in the darkness. This deep darkness was starting to present a cold chill. "RUN EVERLYNN!" the mysterious voice shouted. "RUN AND NEVER LOOK BACK!!" I felt heat, pain, and an indescribable feeling of loss. I had lost someone or something that made me feel complete, made me feel like a whole person. Someone I LOVE is back there! Someone I love more than myself, so deeply, I can't even think about leaving him! The tears were streaming down my face reaching this realization. I took a deep breath to steady myself against whatever I was about to do. Whatever I was about to see. Then, I turned and ran towards the voice that was SO full of pain. I ran to save his life... and to save my own. His life is my life. His death is my death. These were the only things I knew for certain at this point. I ran to him because it was the only thing I could do. "EVERLYNN... NOOOOOOOOO!!"

Our Forbidden Love by kyrieroy_014

He dismissed me due to his pride and self-image, prioritizing his reputation and power above all else. He deems me unworthy to stand beside him, solely concerned with his own stature. Yet, he is mistaken. I explicitly warned him not to spurn my humanity, yet Dante's human disregarded my plea. Now, consequences will unfold, and he will endure the repercussions. I intend to inflict suffering upon all. Although he may be the lord of demons, I possess the capability to draw blood and immerse him in his own agony. I crave to hear his screams echoing with torment, a symphony of pain and torture. I will subject him to countless deaths until he pleads for mercy. My human may have lost herself, but I am here to anchor her. She might be numb from his rejection, while I am consumed by anger. No other emotions can bring me stability as the fiery rage within me seeks to obliterate every fragment of this world, starting with his kingdom. I will reveal to the entire world that what everyone believed to be dead is still alive, poised for a grand reappearance that will instill fear in all. Let's see if you can recognize your own mate, my dear ex-soulmate.... ****** Paranormal romance action genre.. read it at your risk... 18+ content... All Copyright are reserved...
