**Terran Grant**

Safe.

I haven't felt safe since the day you stole her from me. 

The day I had to run, forever scarred. 

I've been protected the past ten years, but that ended on my 19th birthday. 

I was suffering everyday, until I met him.

A beautiful damaged boy that tried helping me piece myself together. 

Only, I let my past destroy that too.

Now, I'm going to be stronger, no longer the weak little girl hiding from the world. 

I know you're hunting me, Father.

I bet you didn't bank on me being ready for you though, did you?

I thought Caiden would move on, so I could protect them from my father 

My life just keeps throwing me curve balls. 

**Caiden Fellows**

I've never met someone like her before. 

Her eyes hold a storm unlike anything I've yet to experience. 

She's a mystery I can't stay away from. 

I'm going to put together the puzzle that is Terran Grant. 

I'm going to protect her from whatever or whomever haunts her sleep, no matter what it takes.

The only problem is, I have my own demons, hell bent on drowning me.

One day I walked into her room, and my world spun out from under me.

I thought I'd come back and fix things with her, I didn't bank on not getting the chance.

I didn't think she would disappear into thin air. 

I didn't think she would consume my every thoughts until I find her.

I knew she was running from something dark, and I needed to find her. 

All I know is, life threw her in my path for a reason.

This time I'm not letting go.

I'm going to save you Terran, for real this time.



She's a mystery I can't stay away from. 

I'm going to put together the puzzle that is Terran Grant. 

I'm going to protect her from whatever or whomever haunts her sleep, no matter what it takes.

Beautifully Broken by prettiestoflies

"You shouldn't need to drink to try and drown your feelings Kayla. I've watched the people around me do this all my life and it doesn't fix anything." "I know it won't fix anything, but for right now it helps me forget" "You can't keep running away or hiding. In the end it all catches up." "You sound like you've been through this before." "I guess you could say that." "You want me to open up to you, but are you ever going to open up to me? I want to get to know you Tyler, but you are so closed off. You know why I got knocked over by that wave? Because I was watching you, I was watching your face and seeing how free you felt riding that wave. It's the only time I've ever seen you let go. You know that someone hurt me, but I think you have been hurt too. When you're ready to talk, I'll be waiting. Maybe we can help each other." "Maybe I'm not worth getting to know" he replied. "And maybe I'm not worth you trying to save me either. Or maybe I am" With that I got up and left him to think about what I said. I put my cards on the table, now it was up to him to make the next move. ******** A year ago, Kayla had it all, doting parents and a relationship with her older brother that others envied. By the end of junior year that changed, she's left broken after a series of events in her life, but she is determined to hide her pain from her friends and enjoy the summer. That is until she meets Tyler, who can see right through the hurt. He has his own secrets though and isn't ready to let anyone in. Together they will either fall apart or fall together.

HAUNTED - A Dark Romance by savshabang

DANTE When I first laid my eyes on her; she was only eleven, three years younger than me. She was quiet. And pure. But she was troubled, and alone. I could see it behind her eyes; the thin veil that concealed her deepest secrets, faltering every time she looked at me. I knew from that moment on that I would live for her. And she would eventually live for me, too. With or without her blessing. However, circumstances change. And that purity I once relished in; her light in contrast to my darkness, disappeared. But, don't worry my little sinner, I will haunt you. And I won't be as kind this time. EDEN I won't let you scare me. That's what I keep telling myself. And yet, I see you. In every dark corner, in every casting shadow -- I see you when I close my eyes. And I hate myself for it. But I'm older now. Wiser. You took my innocence from me, and while I hate myself for allowing you to, I hate you just that much more. But I won't let you in this time. I don't want your inferno to engulf me anymore, I want to extinguish it. **PLEASE BE WARNED** This book will contain graphic contents, including but not limited to: violence, sexual contents and sensitive subjects.

I Fell in Love with a Bad Boy by Beautiful_Tragedy8

CRINGE WARNING! First book I ever wrote on here!! -- "Sometimes the person who you are willing to take a bullet for is the person behind the gun." I stood peering over the cold lifeless body that lay before my eyes. I had always thought of death the enemy, but right now, I blessed it upon the person who is now at peace. Sometimes you don't need to be the smartest, or the fastest, but you do need to be wisest. They say the blood runs deeper than water, and I believe it, because even though the people that we love can turn on us and begin to hate us, they are only human, meaning that soon they will begin to see how short life really is and how it is not to be wasted. People who seem perfect and they look like they have no floors'; they are the people who are suffering, like I was. But I found my savior in the most uncommon place. He was able to look through my mask, he saw the cracks, and tried to fix the broken girl that hid away deep inside the girl who only wanted to be seen as 'fine'. I slowly began to find comfort and safety in him, and I did the same to him. We were two broken people becoming whole. Someone once said when you pass, if you can count your true friends on one hand you are beyond lucky, and I even though I did not like the person that lay before me, I know that he once had true friends, including me. I'm a 17 year old girl who has suffered more than any other, beginning to believe that 'Hope' was just another word the people throw around. Until I fell in love with a badboy.

A Vow of Ruin by Mian40147

Octavia Torrance He is my hunger, my love, my obsession, and my addiction. He embodies everything he despises and loathes, cloaking his torment and darkness in black clothes, thinking I don't see. But I do. I see everything. He hates me, yet he can't leave, can't escape. Soon, he will be mine completely, and I will become Grayson. I erred in forcing him into this union, but soon he will beg for the chastity collar around his neck. All I want is to shatter him into a thousand pieces. Then, I'll gather those fragments, forcing them to fit against my own fractured heart. It doesn't matter if they don't align perfectly-I'll fucking make them fit for me. I'll make him fit for me, whether he wants it or not. Will IV The woman I can't stand is about to become my wife, whether I like it or not. I thought that if I kept my distance and focused on others, she'd lose interest and move on. But I was wrong. My actions only fueled her determination. Now, she's taken my ring and put it on her own finger, a constant reminder of her hold over me. She won't relent until one of us surrenders or we both break down. She drives me insane. She asked me, "What would you like to do with me?" I wanted to tell her I want to leave my marks on her, I want to destroy her, I want to embed myself in every part of her mind and body so that she'd be ruined for any other man but me and become perfect for me. But I also want her to disappear from my life. Instead, I stayed silent, letting her interpret things in her own twisted way. She's a pirate, and I'm the lost treasure she wants to dredge up from the depths of the sea. And I feel myself drowning, just letting her have what she so desperately wants.
