Camp MondCove by ItzAshh_31

After months of relentless searching, Nico, a Spanish teenager, arrives in America, ready to embrace his new role as a counselor and lifeguard at MondCove-a prestigious camp nestled deep within the ominous Zirconia forests. What he anticipates as a summer of adventure quickly spirals into a nightmare. From the moment he steps onto the campgrounds, an unsettling presence wraps itself around him like a cold shroud. The laughter of campers fades into an oppressive silence, and he feels unseen eyes watching him from the darkness. Campers begin to vanish without a trace, their echoes haunting the stillness. Gruesome discoveries of mutilated animals become disturbingly frequent, as if some primal force is playing a macabre game. Whispers surround the camp's sister site for girls, a place shrouded in dark secrets linked to MondCove by a shadowy fate. Campers speak of the "lost ones," young girls who vanished years ago, their fates entwined with the very land. Shadows stretch longer as day gives way to night, and the forest seems to close in, whispering ancient curses that chill him to the bone. As Nico unravels the tangled web of secrets binding MondCove and its mysterious sister camp, he grapples with his own fears and the horrifying truth lurking beneath the surface. Each investigation pulls him deeper into terror, awakening dormant horrors that have long slumbered in the woods. With the camp's malevolence closing in, Nico races against time to uncover the chilling secrets that haunt him. But as he delves deeper, he wonders: is he revealing the truth, or merely digging his own grave? Will the encroaching darkness claim him before he can piece together the elusive truth, or will he become just another whisper lost to the shadows of MondCove?

JUST CREEPIN' by Mya2tact

"What's wrong ma?" He questioned after a few seconds when she didn't respond to him. "Do you plan on having sex with me." She rested her chin on her knees that were pulled up to her chest. "Why?"

♠️ C O M P L E T E D ♠️ Enjoy x ••• My sleep was disturbed by a low mumbling. I opened my eyes and looked around. It was still dark out. I looked up to see if Evander was still awake but what I saw made me scream. Evander's blue eyes were glowing and fangs were hanging out of his mouth. He seemed to be mumbling something but I couldn't understand what he was saying. "What the fuck?!" I gasped. Any tiny ounce of sleep I once had was gone as I desperately searched for something to use as a weapon. I found a broken tree branch and lifted it up. "Evander?" I called. His eyes snapped shut and his fangs shrank as I jumped back. He opened his eyes again and looked at me in horror. "Althea?! What are you doing with that?!" He asked incredulously He must not know what his body was doing wherever he was. I ignored it. "What the fuck are you?!" ••• Althea Kastellanos runs away from her overbearing family, in hopes of experiencing a life she never had. Evander Leos just wants to chill and do the right thing.
