"Fear is like fire. It can cook for you. It can heat your house. Or it can burn you down."
Manor Manderley was ooit een toonbeeld van klasse en gratie. Het ooit zo majestueuze huis van Lady Elisabeth Ravenheart stond na een vreselijke dag niet meer overeind zoals het zou moeten. Een simpel onderzoek liep uit tot een mysterieus ongeluk dat niemand had zien aankomen. Volg hier het verhaal van Elisabeth, haar geliefde Noah Carter en twee van haar beste vrienden, Carolyn LaCroix en Alvina Davis en hoe zij dit ongeluk hebben meegemaakt.
Maar niet alleen dat. Het verhaal gaat verder dan de brand alleen. Wat als Elisabeth op een gegeven moment het verzoek kreeg om terug te keren naar de ruïnes van de manor? En waarom wordt er steeds gepraat over een stukje gescheurde witte zijde? Wat heeft dat met de brand te maken?

How To Be Human
"I have been shot at by people today, been chased around by people wearing hazmat suits, I overheard my boss saying he wants to kill me, and I'm now stuck with a vampire-turned-human that is cranky 24/7. All I am asking is that I get one night of sleep. One night. So, for the love of all that's holy, let me sleep in peace." Warren stared at me for the longest time, and then finally blinked. "I tuned out after you said you were shot at, you mind repeating that again?" Alexa Kay Hazelwood was on the brink of discovery. She was going to reveal to the world that the monsters that haunted little children's dreams were real. She was also going to reveal that she had a weapon to stop them. An antidote. She was going to turn every vampire in the world back to a human again. But everything started to go the opposite way. Her boss wanted her research all to himself and the vampire she found had problems of his own. She was caught between the middle of it all. She had to teach this vampire how to be human again. "All I knew about Warren was that he was born in the 1700s. He had a sister and a father. He was one of the first vampires created. His best friend betrayed him (on what, I don't know) and that his name was Ryan Caine. That's all I knew about my dear friend Warren. That, and he was moody all the time."Lengkap

She loves her life-parties, booze, and men but she loves playing games with her friends more than anything.

Although after that night, she kept her distance from Sage. Chant knew. She knew that Sage is dangerous the moment her eyes landed on his gray pair of captivating eyes. She knew that he's a walking fire whom she can't just play with without getting burnt. But fate hates her and Sage was persistent. Kahit saan siya magpunta ay nandoon din ang lalaki. She couldn't stay away from him. And when her friend, Sapphire, challenged her to play with Sage, she couldn't refuse. Why would she refuse? She used to play with men without having second thoughts so why is she hesitant? Kaya naman ganoon ang ginawa niya. Hinayaan niya si Sage sa pagsunod-sunod sa kaniya at sinabayan ito. Pero paano kung hindi na sila naglalaro? Paano kung sa kaniya lang naman laro ang lahat? Sage is obviously into her at ngayon ay pati siya nagkakagusto na rin sa lalaki. Ipagpapatuloy niya ba ang larong sinimulan o hahayaan niya na ang sarili na mahulog sa lalaki?Lengkap
Ashes Of You And I (Completed) | ✔️
"Her troubled eyes held fire. The kind of fire that was capable of burning me to ash." ***** I grabbed her chin with my free hand, making her look at me. "I hate that I don't know you. I hate not being a part of your life, like I was before." I leaned a little closer, as her intoxicating scent filled my lungs. "Trust me, I can't hate you, no matter how hard I tried." "So you have... " It came out as more of a question than a statement from her as she looked at me with her big blue eyes. "What?" I frowned, dropping my hand from her chin and grabbing her hand, instead. "You have tried hating me then?" She asked, tilting her head to the side. This time it sounded more like a statement than a question. "I have." I sighed, dropping my head in shame. "And it made me lose the most important person in my life." ***** One night.

My Bad Boy Doctor
WATTYS 2022 SHORTLIST EDITOR'S CHOICE -- SEPTEMBER 2021 EXCLUSIVE CHAPTERS AND WRITER'S REVEAL CONTENT AVAILABLE - NOT A PAID STORY Appearances can be deceiving. What if the Bad Boy wasn't so bad and the good girl wasn't quite so good? Kelly Wankum has an unfortunate last name and even worse luck. By the tender age of twenty-three, she's broken her tailbone, thumb, her nose, hip, and now her rib. It wouldn't be so bad if she could say something funny like, "I broke myself on a stripper pole" or "I was mugged in a Walmart parking lot." That would actually be believable, right? Instead, she breaks her rib reaching for a ball of yarn. Even worse, everyone knows she's so accident prone, she could sneeze and lose a tooth. They'd probably bet on her swallowing it in a pancake. Oh wait, she's done that too. Another trip to the Urgent Care has the doctors shaking their heads, offering to pray for her health while new, sexy Doctor Blake Cole immediately gets off on the wrong foot. Months after their first encounter, Blake and Kelly meet again by chance. After inadvertantly humiliating her, Blake tries to set things straight and make it up to her. The problem is, Blake's lifestyle is painfully different, and Kelly can't help imagining him like every bad boy she's ever read about online. Can Blake convince her to give him a chance and prove he's actually a good guy? **This story is set in the present and the pandemic is part of the narrative.** --Cover by AnnieRosebud-- ©2020, 2022Lengkap
The Song of Burning Souls (COMPLETE)
The song haunted Andrew's dreams. Then he found the singer: Lithe-a girl made of flame who lives in the vents of his apartment building. Slowly, she shows him the fire world, a brilliant place where there are no lonely winters. But these glimpses are as dangerous as they are tantalizing. Soon, Andrew can't stop craving the heat. But someone doesn't like Andrew's friendship with the fire girl. Someone who lives deep in the basement amid boxes belonging to other lost children. Someone who will stop at nothing to devour them both. What is this creature? Why has he trapped Lithe? Most importantly, can Andrew play with fire without getting burned? ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ This story was inspired by true events! A few years ago I moved into a very old house with large hot air vents on the walls and a cantankerous furnace. One evening, as I was drifting off to sleep, I glimpsed a light behind the grate in my room (the grate on the cover is an exact likeness of the one in my house!) The light grew brilliant and bright for a brief moment, then disappeared. I pried the grate off the wall and poked my head down there but saw no light. I was alone in the house and far too scared to go back to sleep so I got up and wrote the first draft of this story. To this day I have no idea where the light came from. Maybe it was the light of inspiration! Cover Art: Agnieszka Grochalska (agroshka.com) Cover Type: Erika Viktor ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ This is my Friday story! I have a story for each day of the week and will update on that particular day! Please comment and let me know if you are afraid of fire, if it fascinates you. Also, have you ever wondered if anything is living in your house without you knowing about it? I am happy to read your stuff and return the favor!!Lengkap
Smoking Power
The thing raises it's head and says in the same screechy voice, "you're playing with fire you know." I smirk back at it, "well I love to play with fire."

Opposites Attract
Based off a prompt on Tumblr: "I want a superhero series where they have powers that 100% contradict their personalities". Molly grew up as a fisherman's daughter in a village by the ocean, so naturally, it was a surprise to her and those around her when she acquired fire powers. Everyone around her had some sort of magic, but they all were compatible with who they were. Molly's mother had died in a fire for Aglea's sake! (Note: Aglea is a goddess who's name just happens to resemble a Greek goddess. They're very different.) Jax was the son of a rich blacksmith, who shocked everyone by developing water powers, and strong ones at that. When the two meet, they go on a journey to save Molly's village from a witch who wants their magic for her own. If they can't stop her, her icy grip will smother the world. Will something other than friendship develop over this trip? Only time will tell. (I don't own the cover image if you know who it belongs to, tell me so I can credit them. Also, you have no idea how tempting it was to put Fire Boy and Water Girl as the cover. I mean, reversed genders, but still.) Some of the magic bits are heavily based off of ATLA.Lengkap
