Twenty-five murders in just a span of two months.
an answer for a life, and a death for an answer.
Castell lived a life not heaven but hell when both of her Mother and sister abused her on a daily basis. They used her dreams against her and threatened her, locking her up in her room, and they didn't even acknowledge her as their own. With her dreams at risk, Castell endured it all in silence even when her sister had always framed her for doing unspeakable things. That she was capable of committing a sin. She endured and survived.
So when Devon was tasked to keep an eye for Castell, he was shocked that the family he resented, the deep rooted hatred he felt for has another one of their own, and she found out about his secrets.
Devon may be the Gentleman of Carswell University, but it's all just for a show. A mask to hide what's hidden underneath the surface. Devon had tried so hard creating this image that he had shown to everyone. Had fooled everyone. That this person isn't capable of dealing with illegal drugs and selling them until Castell found out about it accidentally.
As both of them got intertwined with each other's lives, strings tangled, both healing and broken, a life worthwhile had shattered when the corpse of the person they held dearest ended up in their doorstep.
Searching for answers and seeking for justice, Castell might have had looked deeper. For she had unraveled a secret that will help and doom both of their lives.
But how could it be when Devon winds up dead?

His best friend, officer Chris Wells is dead and George finds himself with the body and no memory of how. Only a tape recorder and a locker key for a clue. It's a dangerous game, from a lifetime of planning, rigged to make George look guilty and force him to remember what he really is and what he went through as a child. A pure born werewolf. Kidnapped from his real family to be experimented on. George gets dangled on strings by the killer puppet master and taken on a haunting journey never to be forgotten again. Made to relive the past trauma of a tragic fire that took the lives of the family that tortured him. Bodies continue to fall, all framed to fit the murderous narrative of an elaborate plot for revenge. When he finally remembers, when he's finally broken, another unique side to George wakes. So does a dark new world from the shadows. George learns the painful truth, and none of it is good. Nobody saw the real killer coming or expected that it could be someone they trusted.

Stalked By A Serial Killer
"How do you feel now, Morgan?" She says, more pointing something out than asking a question. She grabs hold of my wrists and tightens them. If I could see properly I could swear I see them turn purple. "I could beat you to the bone, right here, right now, till you die from your injuries. But, I won't. You will die. Maybe not today, maybe not in a month, but you will." Well, obviously I'm going to die. Humans don't live forever. "Wonder why?" "No, and I really don't care." She answers anyway. "Because we have the power, the people, and the weapons to do it. Face it, you're defenseless against us." I feel some blood flooding my mouth, so I, being a perfectly nice person, spit it in her face. That doesn't faze her at all. "I have the strength and intelligence, something you clearly don't have. Whatever y'all do to me, it won't break me. I will put up a hell of a fight before losing. I will fight, and I will win." I turn over and look at her fellow companions. "Even if I die doing it." "Is that a risk you're willing to take?" ____________________________________ 17 year old Morgan Peters is an average girl living life.
