History claims she is the first female serial killer...

Locusta is the daughter of a winemaker in the Roman province of Gaul. She enjoys the indulged childhood of the elite, her concerns only about the day's amusements. She rides gentle ponies, attends parties, reads Ovid, and learns the herbal arts from her servant. But the day after meeting her betrothed, Locusta discovers the consequences of possessing such dangerous knowledge. 

Ordered to leave her pastoral life, Locusta is thrust into a world of intrigue, scandal, and murder-where treason lurks behind every corner and defying an emperor means death. Locusta's life changes forever when a young Emperor Nero requires her herbal expertise. And commands her to be his personal poisoner. Caught in an imperial web, Locusta must embrace her profession or die.

When The City Sleeps by valerie_kay

"Don't even think for a second that I would hesitate in pulling the trigger." He said. "though the bullet won't go through here. Not yet" his fingers caressed her forehead before dropping down to her thighs. "First bullet will go through here" he pressed her thigh. "the second will go here" his hand had reached her forearm. Millicent gulped, terror seeping inside her like molten lava. Slowly, burning her insides. "You won't die. Not by the bullets, no. That would be too easy and too fast" he said. Dominic was standing behind her now, looking at her through the reflection in the window. He had seen the blood drain from her face and he knew it was working. "You are a beautiful woman, Luciana. I am sure my men would love you" the room was dead silent, save only for a gasp that escaped Millicent when Dominic's hand travelled to her stomach. "Okay, I will do it." Her head bowed in defeat. Millicent is kidnapped. Dragged back to that one part of her past she had never wished to re-visit. But the fate has twisted her path cruelly. She finds herself under the mercy of a blood-thirsty Mafia leader. She is squashed between the war of two revenge-seeking gangs. The question remains- will she emerge from the battle a warrior or will she be turned into one of many collateral damages of this blood-sucking war?

California Dreamin by shadyjuls

That's something Nina always repeated to herself while running away from reality, desperately trying to escape her fate. She knew the truth, sooner or later she would meet him again, she feared that day more than anything. Her fear came true, he was standing in front of her, playing with her little step sister. He was the new babysitter. She couldn't run anymore. {TW!! Drugs, underage drinking and smoking, violence, blood, murder.} [based on real events, this is just for entertaining purposes, NOT IDOLIZING SERIAL KILLERS, chill out, good read.]

Burnt Coffee Grounds by XSnowyxTreesX

"Hey Kartune, do you have the number for that person we were talking about earlier?" "No princess sadly I don't have the number. May I assit you in a different way though?" "Oh shit, sorry I must have the wrong number." "Don't freight it. And when you go to make the contact for that guy you were talking about -when you find the right number- don't forget to make a contact for me too." "Why would you need me to make you a contact when it sounds like you could get all the girls you could ever want with that voice of yours?" "Because aside of popular beleifs the only females I've been handling is Iron, Magnesium, and Lanthanum." Elizabeth Enzo: My father always warned me about strangers, yet he never warned them about me. When in reality.. I'm the boogy man that every man fears. But that's okay with me because I know where my morals lie and where I lie about my morals and I'll never be ashamed of it. But who would be ashamed of being a serial killer? Definitly not the men in my smutty novels, and all the girls can say amen to that! Victor Hahn: Maybe not all serial killers are hatful on the inside, maybe they just want justice for those who can't take it for themselves. Yet here I am, helping conduct one of the biggest manhunts for this serial killer named Red Velvet because my best friend was able to convince me it would be good to get my head out of chemical compounds for a bit, well that and that I believed it would only take a week for me to solve the case because numbers -quite frankly- don't lie. But there might've been a small intrferance, aka Mrs. Ilovethesmellofburntcoffeegrounds. Will the most infamous chemist fall for the serial killer he's trying to catch? Or the freckled face girl who loves the smell of burnt coffee grounds and is a chemist from the other side of the world? Good thing is, he doesn't have to choose... @copyrightreserved

Pretty Poison by AlexisJadeS22

They have nothing yet everything in common, their story revealing their deepest desires. She was born with an unknown purpose and he was raised with notorious hardship. She was given a poison and he was born with the antidote. They long for answers, but what they don't realize is that everything they could ever wish to know is right in front of them, staring at each other with brilliant blue eyes. With one another they discover the true power and meaning of love, and how greed can set a man aflame. WARNING ⚠️: Story contains strong language, sexuality, nudity, and graphic scenes of violence.

Chaos & Serenity | 18+ by EroticcMelanin

Serenity [Sir-ren-ity] : The state of being calm, peaceful, and untroubled. Chaos [Kay-os] : Complete disorder and confusion. ♕♕♕ With being the Don of one of the biggest and baddest mafia families Luciano was never at ease with himself. He never felt like he was sane. Always shedding blood, murdering, selling drugs, robbing banks. He was so much chaos. He needed peace. Serenity's life was agonizingly calm. She thought it was boring with her simple routine of wake up, eat, read, sleep, maybe- if she's lucky, go out with friends, then repeat. Boring cycle of truth. She wanted some spice. Some chaos. ♕♕♕ "I just told you that I'm making you come with me to Italy- a whole other country and you're response was 'YES' ?" Luciano watched me with admiration in his dark grey eyes. I shrugged, "Yeah. I'm bored. Like..painfully bored." Luciano's eyebrow stayed raised and his eyes stayed admiring my words. "Aren't you a little crazy thing huh Bella..I'll keep that in mind." ♕♕♕ Ever since that 1 night Serenity went out with her college friend group and ran into a murder/torture fight in the tight alley way of Chicago, she's been on Luciano's mind. As him, on hers. The two were attracted to each other because of good and bad things. Luciano's attraction to Serenity was simply because her aura radiated that she was sane. Safe. Serenity's attraction to Luciano was the complete opposite. Call her crazy if you will but, a tall, handsome, Italian mafia Don was exactly what she was craving for.

Pure of Mind and Sharp of Knife (Male Reader x Female Creepypasta) by TheDukeOfWolves

First of all, I do not own any characters within this book -- only a few minor characters are of my creation. The Creepypasta characters are all owned by their respective creators which do not include myself. It began with a nightmare: a sea of blood and mountains of corpses as far as the eye could see. Ever since then, nightmares have become reality. After your wishes for something interesting to happen in your life, it comes at a dire cost. You have been thrown into a war happening under the nose of every human in the world despite the lives of them all being at stake. There is no turning back. Peace does not last long. You are in a strange new world: a world where the strong eat the weaklings alive. The only comfort you have in this cruel world is a company of killers, manipulators, and beings of uncertain origins. How will you end this war? In blood? Or in love? P.S. The POV will be in 1st person. This is simply my preference when it comes to writing stories. Hopefully this will be to your liking and, if you have come back to these types of Creepypasta fanfics often, that this gets you excited to see something new!
