As he crouched beside her, he gently lifted her into his arms. The weight of her was light but her unconscious state was a stark reminder of her fragility. He marveled at the way her breath mingled with the cool night air, the rhythmic pulse of her life a delicate thread in the midst of this surreal world. Her presence here, in a place so alien and enigmatic, felt oddly significant. 

He processed the situation with an unsettling mix of fascination and protective instinct. The sand around them seemed to shift uneasily as if acknowledging the importance of this moment. The eerie landscape of the other world, its stark and shifting sands, framed their encounter with a bright shift of light.

A ripple of energy surged through him as he prepared to move. With a flicker of his will, the space around them twisted and warped. In an instant, the mausoleum and its sandy atmosphere were replaced by the dense, shadowy expanse of the forest. The girl remained unconscious, her body limp but safe in his arms.

The forest was as enigmatic as ever, its trees whispering ancient secrets and the air thick with a mysterious energy. He could feel the forest's awareness, its consciousness resonating with the presence of her return to this world. The girl's arrival had stirred something deep within the woods, something that seemed to recognize her as more than just a wanderer.

Camp MondCove by ItzAshh_31
6 parts Ongoing Mature
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?

If you are offended easily do not read. •.• I snuggled into the comfortable warmth of the fluffy pillow as I was eager to go back to sleep. The fan lullabied me into a hazy state. Suddenly, a heavy weight landed on my waist, pulling me from the tired daze. I leaned up in shock as my hands flung forward defensively to push whoever was on me off. With a strong force, my shoulders were shoved backwards and into the mattress. Grunts of struggle filled the room as we fought each other. The offender grabbed my wrists and held them firmly above my head with one strong hand. Sobs of terror escaped from my chest as a thumb caressed my cheek to wipe away the spilled tears. "P-please let go of me," I begged, trembling. "You are so beautiful." A man's voice spoke, his large hand leaving my face and traveling down my body to squeeze my pelvic region. "Stop." I screeched, my demand ricocheting between the four bedroom walls. The man growled darkly. "If you scream again, I will kill you." I nodded keenly in response to show that I would not challenge his threat. His hand slowly freed my mouth, testing if I would disobey him. He reached into his pocket. A knife, zip tie, and a rag were all revealed. The view made me realize that this could be my last chance to get help. If I did not call out right now, he would take me. I would not make it out alive either way. I let out a bloodcurdling scream loud enough to wake up the whole neighborhood.

The scars, telling horrifying stories. Lips, spreading lies to survive under the sun. A thin body, kissed by bruises and tattoos, that knows what deprivation and violence mean. Dark brown eyes that have seen a bit too many pools of blood. A squinted gaze of an observer, encountering the condemning eyes of strangers who were superior in many aspects. Pale skin, unbothered by the sun for three decades. If I still had pronounced canine teeth, I could qualify for a vampire role in some silly movie in that revered box of changing images. Life didn't fight for me, so I put all my efforts into my meaningless existence under the sun, pretending to be what I always was-invisible. You guessing how I got here? By storm. That's me, a sarcastic Ghost filled with cynicism, who became human a decade ago and lived without a damned birth certificate until I got behind bars upon reaching adulthood. Now, on the brink of freedom, I'm entangled in a mission that could save my soul-or damn it forever. Then came Rosy Cheeks, the wildcard who changed all the rules. With a laugh that echoed like bells in a windstorm and eyes that saw right through my cynical facade, he was a beacon in my dark world. His mere presence forced me to confront parts of myself I had long buried. He shattered my defenses with his genuine warmth and relentless hope, traits I had thought extinct in this cruel world. In this gritty, pulse-pounding tale of survival, deception, and reluctant heroism, one question lingers: Can a ghost ever truly find redemption, or are some spirits doomed to wander eternally in the shadows? With Rosy Cheeks by my side, everything changes. The stakes have never been higher, and the journey has never been more uncertain. Will I find the light, or will the darkness reclaim me? Join me in this journey, where every choice matters and every soul can be saved-or lost. Perhaps together, we'll discover whether even the most cynical of ghosts can find a spark of light in the abyss. +18 MM romance
