A world of darkness.
Demons hide behind corners, and monsters lurk in the shadows.
Thousands of years ago, the sky turned red, and nightmarish beings invaded this world.
They caused chaos, and the humans didn't know what to do.
But, within the darkness, there is always light. And along with the beings, God-like figures rose to power.
They brought hope.
But, every human that came in contact with them eventually caught an uncurable virus. It spread quickly, and sure enough, most of the population was dying off because of it.
and eventually, the humans had enough.
That is where our story begins.
--------------------
BlankTide was a sheltered child.
She only heard stories about the outside world and how terrible it was, as she was told to stay in the paradise her family lived in.
They had it all.
A steady supply of prey, safety, and wonderful relationships.
Well, that's what her mother thought.
BlankTide saw a different side of the story.
A prison. An endless loop. Those are both things she could use to describe this 'paradise' as she had to live with her two-faced father.
Thousands of years before, the gods had collapsed, leaving behind the monsters that are now roaming the world.
BlankTides life starts shattering when an unexpected murder occurs, and her family breaks. When more mysteries start appearing and lost tales of glory and destruction are being told once again, BlankTide has to question if her mother's smile is as genuine as she plays it off to be.
As they are forced into the outside world, they start realizing how scary it can be, and that they have to trust the darkest shadows in order to make it through this alive.
With their mother missing, And their father on a hunt for them, they must fight in order to survive, as ambitious gods crawl back to the living world, and a king attempts to reclaim his throne.
And they have to learn that sometimes, the light can be scarier than the darkness.

You and Me
Hi, my name is Abby, Full name Abigail Smith, but please call me Abby. I just turned 17, and the vampires have decided to make themselves heard and known to the world. They seem to be taking over slowly, but it's becoming a problem, considering now we humans are classified as "pets". I am no pet, I have black hair piercings and watched my family get killed in a matter of 20 minutes by a man who wanted me for his "pet store" for the vampires. Vampires are horrible creatures, if you can even call them that. Or from what I heard, they are. Anyway, I have been in here since I was 7. Long time, if you ask me, and I have been tortured ever since. I don't take no for an answer. I've been in a holding cell for too long. I miss the sunlight, and I miss the cool air that I would have to breathe in while walking to school every morning. It's been 10 years, and it's been a very long 10 years. It's hard when no one cares about you and you're beaten because you're scared for your life. You don't know fear until you have this lifestyle. I just need to be saved by anyone. Travis, that's my name. I lost my mother to human hunters. Never have I forgiven humans, even if they had nothing to do with it. They are devil creatures, and we thought we were bad. I have dark brown hair and sky blue eyes, which change to red when I feed, but no need to get into detail. They have no idea what their own kind has brought to themselves. As my father gets older, he's getting me more prepared to take his place on the throne. He's also demanding I find a wife. That I am not looking forward to. I haven't wanted anything to do with a woman since my mother, but my dad also wants me to get a pet. Great. See what happens!! Will he be her knight in shining armour, and will she steal his heart and show him the love that he's been missing from his mother for generations? Or will he just throw her away or kill her? Read to find out!!! This book is under edit! Please be patient!Complete

At the Fields of Fire and Blood
The world is dying. Heaven and Hell have broken and collapsed, creating a post-apocalyptic landscape that is part purgatory, part platonic world of ideas, blighted by the horrors of the human mind. The sun lies dormant in the east, atop God's tower, while the west is plunged into darkness and haunted by all that lives there. There is no day and night cycle, nothing grows, nothing dies, nothing changes, unless magic is involved. Angels hunt creatures for their blood, to feed it to God so he can finish gestating. Demons kill and destroy aimlessly, their origins inexplicable and unknown. Stranger beings wander the ruins of what's left of the world. Humans need not eat or sleep, caught in a state between life and death. They cannot die or be born naturally, but they can be killed and they can be made. The few that survived with their sanity somewhat intact have locked themselves into warded cities, but their protections are feeble and often ineffective. The Order that united them is long gone, broken into factions known only by the sins for which they have fallen. The Houses that protected them are crumbling, falling into ruin as their members were culled down by angels and demons, as well as their own mad quest to save the world; the Pilgrimage, a vain attempt to steal into Eden and murder God himself. Soon, only the Scions will remain. Those that were left not due to merit, but because they were the last choice for being heroes. Those whose memories and minds are as damaged and eaten through as their world. Those who agreed to take on the mysterious Archons within their bodies and, through that contract, had ancient relics and rituals passed down to them. They converge onto a long forgotten neutral ground, trying to save themselves. A heroic journey through a nightmarish wonderland. A pilgrimage to God's tower, to make the world whole again. To cleanse the world of the horrors infecting it. To kill the God who will doom them all with his birth.Complete

A choice made for survival for their race. The war of the continents has settled down after many years, when the areas are very clear. For those who dared to take one step across the line of the Demon Kingdom... were sentenced either to death, or to become a slave. At that time each creature knew that the ruler of half of the world and one of the most powerful creatures living on Earth was the Demon King; Belial. To which was no greater being existing-- or was there? The wrongess, slavery and greed are reigning, but a change is about to happen. Justice is about to be made. Faith, just an ordinary young girl who has experienced the life of a slave.
