~You have to be careful or the darkness might just breach your walls when you least expect it.
Needless to say, you have to stay fortified. The word of the Lord is a strong tower, the righteous runneth to it and is safe~

A war is on. A war between the light and darkness. As an age long push and pull ensue, which side will give in, which side will surrender?

The dark is scary and yet enticing. It is easy to fall off a cliff when the voice on the other side is so alluring, so sweet.

It's been eight months since Luke died in a freak accident that inevitably changed Adriel's life forever. 

College has started and Adriel doesn't know how she would manage without her brother. Alex, his best friend just upped and left not being able to handle his death, the consequence being, she'd had to handle it alone. 

Relief came in form of Jayden Crow a goergeous senior who gave her everything she needed and wanted. He was a drug and she was soon getting addicted, but wasn't that how the darkness worked?

Be the sweetest thing you've ever tasted until it becomes poison in your gut.

Everything was normal until he came and turned it upside down and she let him in till he became her ruin. He was the darkness and she was supposed to be the light.

He saved you He saved me What about others? by Robbymak

The world was full of trouble. Full of confusion and a catastrophic dilemma. One couldn't imagine at what destructive measure it would disintegrate into. While so many things were done to make the world a better place. At some point, it would later be revealed that the biggest problem was not a lack of educational facilities or a lack of health facilities. Believe it or not, Africa, also wasn't the world's biggest problem. The problem with the world today is sin. Sin brought about problems that would perpetuate into many more generations to come! It's almost unbelievable that someone would leave greener pastures to settle in a beat-down environment like Earth. One would wonder what this being could ever want. If life existed beyond the surfaces of our universe, why stay? If there was the possibility of walking with a glory that outshined the brightness of the sun, why hesitate? God cannot love us anymore than He loves our neighbor. His love tank is so vast that it accommodates everyone. Had He only sent Jesus Christ to the rich or the poor in African households, His love would then be conditioned to those that qualified. What makes His love so unique and strange is that He loves the broken and the sinners. He loves those of us that are unlikeable and unattractive. He persuaded His only son to die gruesomely to have all of mankind at His bosom. In the movies, opening doors and buying a bouquet of flowers is symbolic of love. In families, love is expressed in many different kind of forms. Even animals have ways in which they show affection. While all of that might stand out. It cannot be compared to the love of God. God can feel love, and He is love!

I KNOW YOUR PAIN by oratilekgomari

|ONGOING| ****** Ten young individuals. Ten different backgrounds. Ten different stories. All it takes is one meeting..... They had never met before. Each one had their own problems to deal with. For once, they wanted to forget their cruel realities, go to a place where they could unwind and relax. That place was Sunrise Bootcamp... To them, Sunrise Bootcamp was an ideal place where no one knew their pain, what they carried on the inside, how shattered their hearts were, and how high their walls were built. A place where no one would be on their cases, little did they know.... ****** When she receives ten guests all at the same time, Mary Titus is grateful to God. Her business will finally be boosted... What she doesn't know is that these people will be more than just guests. It will be more than just a business opportunity. The question becomes, is history going to repeat itself? What she once did for Samantha Watkins, will she do it again? For ten people? The gift she gave to Samantha, can she give it to them too? Are they willing to receive it? ******* These young people; They need help one way or the other, and though their problems are different, the answer is the same....GOD. The main scripture is MATTHEW 11:28❤

Redemption by Sarah579

Book Two in the Grace Series. This can most certainly be read as a standalone, but I would recommend reading Grace first (and Something New before or after). Either way, enjoy: I spent my entire life trying to earn my parents' love and it just never worked. I wanted that same love Aunty gives me, from my mother. The same discipline Pops instills into me, I wanted from my father. I wanted comfort and care, and at the very least, their attention. It's all I wanted. But I never got it. Something within me still had some sort of hope that things could possibly change. I thought things could be salvaged at some point. I never voiced this to anyone else, but a part of me held onto that. That was shattered with the news they delivered to me. It shook me that they've been divorced, but what did the most damage was that they never even bothered to tell me. It's like they forgot they even have a child together. The people I lived and breathed for...didn't even seem to recall that I existed. That broke me. "I can't do this anymore," I repeat. Pops stares at me in silence before standing and disappearing. My mouth turns down in a frown, not expecting that, but then he comes back. I grit my teeth as he holds an item in his hand. I saw this very same item five years ago as well. The Bible. "Just like then, I won't force you into anything, Austin. You've got a choice-you always have. I don't know what made you try to walk away from the faith, but I'm still going to extend it to you." ~ Redemption: the action of saving or being saved from sin, error, or evil.

ONYX MOON by Mk1120

"What happens when his Darkness loses her Light?" I was too busy focusing on the enemies in front of me, that I forgot about the one's clawing at my back. My life was just beginning... And then he took her away from me... The reason for my entire being...My Light. Now with my light extinguished, I find it easier to do things that I couldn't before. Like hunting down and killing my traitorous brother and his lunatic of a girlfriend before they try to capture and use the evils of the world for their own horrific gain. One last mission...Like I've always planned. Only this time, I'll finally get what I've been looking for this whole time. Eternal Peace with my Mate. Something only Death and Darkness can bring me. You can run big brother...but you can't hide. Not from me. And not from the Darkness.

Second Sight by whatafreak13

*UNDER SERIOUS EDITING* What if I told you all things that go bump in the night were real? All the monsters from scary stories. You wouldn't believe me right? That's insane, or so Brinley had once thought. Brinley Zora, your normal everyday 24 year old video game streamer. She was normal, in every possible sense of the word, or at least she used to be before strange dreams and occurrences started happening to her on a regular basis. Secrets, death, twists and turns, impending doom. All of it to be discovered after shes told her families history. Friendships bonded over generations. Bonded by unseen other worldly forces. Can Brinley and her friends save a world dictated by a single family for almost 27 years? *I own all ideas, plots, and characters. This story is my baby. You wouldn't steal someone's baby right? (I dont own face claims or music used or referenced obviously)* Cover by the ever fabulous @LiziMichelle who is also the face claim for Brinley. Let me be straight up and say, this is extremely unedited. I wrote this in the notepad on my phone a couple years ago when I was in an entirely different place in my life. It's not the best, there are a few holes, but I had fun writing it and I love my characters, so do with this information what you will. If you hate it, don't read it.

THE CURSE LOVE by A_believerlife

He pulls me closer to him and stares at me as if he wanted to express everything he wanted to. He holds my waist, moves his soft hands on my body, grabs my face, and whisper" You are mine. Wherever you would be and wherever you would go I will be there as your shadow or being your worst dream" Little do we know how a simple gesture of our action changes everything in our life. How our emotions end up by controlling our life over the things we needed to understand before the time passes out. I should have never approached him that day, at least life would have been much serene and maybe things would have been different. Wyatt Bright a prominent guy and yet divergent from Swizisters High to whom I gave the vigor to play against me. Whenever he wants to gash me, I would and when he ought me to smile, I try to give him the best faultlessness. But little did he know what was standing by for him when he comes closer to the girl whom he desired the most? Sofia Mathew tries to escape her dead and buried events and the curse she's trapped in. She tries to start a new life at Swizisters High school but unlike other girls there she goes with her deep secret she hides. Hence, after she met Wyatt everything changes but what will happen when he will get to know about her? Will he come to blow?

Finding Purpose (+18) ✔️ by ZaynismRules

***this book contains suicidal thoughts and tendencies, may not be appropriate for younger audiences*** In which she looks for the purpose of life. Lily Carter's parents died in a car crash leaving her and Laura, girl was depressed long before her parents passed away and with all the problems turning up now, Lily felt more miserable - if that's even possible. With her journey to look for life's purpose and grab the small pinch of HOPE - which is ironically her second name -, will she finally snap at the pressure and finally end it all? or will a small light lit her darkened world of grief and loneliness? * "So you know. The little goth girl who gets bullied is indeed a mess. There's this mess in her head that eats her alive everyday isn't it? What to do now Kaden? Tell the whole neighborhood and recieve an award for taking out a crazy in this world?" I spit like vomit. His eyes warmed up as I finished, "Lily. It isn't like that" "What is it then? People stopped caring... they gave up, why aren't you?" I fought my tears. "Because I feel the need to care. Did Leigh hurt you? Did she hit you?" he finally noticed the unusual redness of my cheek. I don't like the way he told me he needed to care for me. I felt like an obligation, a responsibility that he is carrying and carrying leads to getting tired and when people gets tired, they give up. I don't want them to give up on me. But they will, so it's good not to make them care for me in the first place. "I never needed anyone. I stopped needing anyone before, why start now?" I uttered the words again. Why? There is nothing to fight for. No mama. No papa. No sister to love me. No one. So why would I waste my life and the time of others to fix what is already broken - and someone who doesn't want to be fixed? If I may add. Maybe I gave up. No, scratch that. I gave up a long time ago - when my parents died, my hope and purpose went away with them.

Who We Were by EmelySwift

It's not been an easy year. Not in the slightest. But things are slowly returning to some kind of fucked up normality I guess. Though even this is better than 8 months ago so I'll take the slight improvement. One other person's lapse of judgement has altered my life in way's I'll never really understand but this is my life now. I know I'll be okay. I have to be. 16 other people weren't okay. I was. By some chaotic otherworldly reasoning beyond my control, I'm okay. I'm ALIVE. Fucked in the head or not, I'm not letting it stop me. ~~~ Aria Clarke hasn't had the best year of her life. When one fateful night, she turns into an underpass and her car is dead center of a huge collision, killing everyone on sight but her. Almost a full year into her recovery, after spending 9 months being judged and tormented, swallowing pills to numb the effects, therapy appointments and learning to live her life with her new scars, she craves normality. Anything. Just one person to treat her how she used to be. When one of her closest friend drags her on a double date, that's the plan. Normal. Be normal. As Cameron spends his weeks with Aria, her walls crumble and she lets him in, showing him the darker side to her life and when he embraces it with open arms, things couldn't be more perfect. One accident later and Aria's world is flipped on it's head, sending her down a path that leads her 10,000 miles across the world and into the arms of her oldest friend. The years pass and with a new thriving life in her hands, Aria has a choice to make. Do you favour the people you knew in the past, or the ones who barely know the current you?
