They call into the Darkness and it Answers, leaving the city's heroes and villains with no memory of their previous lives. Will they break through the illusion before it's too late?

"I would've prayed for Them to go easy on you too." He moves and his eyes are on me, eyes where they are brimming with tears, but his soft smile confuses me. Gently caressing my temple, he gazes at me as if I'm the most delicate treasure. His lips kiss my fingers. "They did. A few years late but They did. Their mercy on me is you." ______________ While World War II is absorbed in its own devastation, a runaway slave stumbles upon a meadow. He is saved by a curious, lonely spirit and builds an affinity with her; but will he be her only salvation or eternal damnation? Either way, she can't let him go. And neither can he... as they're more similar than they thought. With unexpected gifts and losses coming their way, the starry-eyed lovers go on a journey for a sense of peace through a strange reality, a stark contrast to her own. The human world.

"You think I don't have control over you?" He asks darkly while looking at me like he could rip me to pieces. I stare at him with fear, "I-" "Every fucking night, you lay under me, screaming my name at the top of your lungs, making it pretty clear that I own you." He cuts me off. "All the pride and dignity leaving your body with just one touch from me," He whispers while hovering over me. "You lost your rights the moment you snuck into my fucking plane." He says harshly making me wince. "You may be my wife, but you are also my doll, I can do whatever the fuck I want with you and you can't do a damn thing about it, just sit, look pretty, and fucking obey." Each word he says is like a glass that pierces me one by one, making sure I bleed a rainfall. - She was forced against her will. There was nothing she could do to avoid the plans he had for her.

It was like we were playing a sick game of chess, trying to guess each others movement's and at the same time, worrying about our own. I didn't have a choice and was forced to say "Game on bitch." -------------------------------- Life for Juniper was never easy, even as a child. Her family was complicated, and she herself has always suffered from mental illneses that made her days hard enough as it was, not just for her but for her drug addict skitzophrenic father and bipolar alcoholic mother. As she kept growing up, the world around her became darker and darker until, at the age of sixteen, a man with a dark shadow and distorted, spine chilling voice infiltrated her nightmares, with the promise to bring her agony and pain if she did not do as he said. Now, Juniper is forced to act fast, for her life hangs by a thread. She must uncover the truth of her past, look past the lies of her parents and her own childhood, and fill in the blanks whilst dealing with loud voices in her head, shadows that follow her every move, and a man who she must obey in order to save her sanity, her life and herself. The question still remains, who is this strange man who threatens her very existence? Will she be able to stop him before he kills her, before he traps her in the darkness forever? Will she whistand the torture, will she handle it all? Or will she snap, will she bend and break like her father did, and his father before him? Because, after all, we are all fragile humans, there is only so much we can take. -------------------------------- * Contains swearing, may be triggering and is undergoing mayor editing . * Best Ranking: #1- Skitsofrenia #2- Alluring

In the gritty underworld where alliances are fragile and betrayal is a currency, our fierce female protagonist, finds herself entangled in a power struggle that threatens to bring her past crashing into her present. Shattered Loyalties kicks off with a battle between rival groups, escalating tensions over control of the city's lucrative drug trade, and the haunting failure of a mission that cost her dearly. When ghosts from her past-the men she once trusted and loved-resurface, old wounds are reopened, and buried emotions ignite into something far more dangerous. As she navigates this treacherous world, trying to keep her secrets hidden, the lines between love, lust, and survival blur. As old flames rekindle and loyalties are tested, she faces a choice that could either save her or destroy everything she's fought for.
