On the ground were two limb-like objects that I assumed were feet. What could only be presumed to be toes were attached to this object but instead of the long delicate finish found in human fingers, it had fingers that slowly thinned out and suddenly ended with protruding bulges. At the end of these protrusions were sharp oval-shaped nails that dug into the ground. My eyes trailed upwards to see a murky dirt color on the object. I slowly realized that this was no object but instead a creature.
I had a view from under so I could clearly see where the light off white hue led to the disgusting stretched out skin. The creature had a height taller than the fruit trees, one comparable to the giant trees in this forest. It lowered its head and I made direct eye contact with a pair of black beady eyes.
This creature had the most repulsive head I had ever seen. It was flat and looked as if someone had stacked two plates on top of each other, flipped one around, and then deformed those plates into an animalistic shape.
I trembled and felt my legs give out and bile rise in my throat. I was terrified by this creature and all I could do was stare at it in terror. Something akin to hunger flashed in those reptilian eyes and it snapped me out of my temporary paralyzed state. I raised a trembling finger in the direction of the creature, my body filled with cowardice but my mind pushing through. It opened its mouth to display two rows of unaligned teeth that grew at random. The pinkish hue of its mouth was now visible.
"D-demon." I breathed out.

The Dummy and His Queen - A Goosebumps Fanfiction {Completed}
A puppet who is a king. A young girl who is just a human. Both trying to find love, but have never succeeded. Until now. When a baby girl gets dropped off by her mother at Horrorland, things go from bad to good when Madame Doom tells Slappy that the baby girl just might be destined to be his queen. I shook and began whimpering. Slappy pulled me close to him and gently rubbed my back. "Shh. It is going to be okay." "No!" I pushed him hard and stood up. "It will not be okay! What those monsters are doing to the humans is certainly not okay! Making them lunch? Dropping worms and even snakes on them? That is sick and scary!" Tears formed in my eyes. "I thought that you all cared for me!" "We do care for you! We love you!" I shook my head and sniffed. "And what about you? Why do you hardly spend time with me? I thought that we were friends. Best friends!" "We are best friends! You just need to relax and calm down, so we can talk about this." "What is there to talk about? You all are liars! I do not know what to believe anymore!" "Believe me, Shelly! I want what is best for you!" "Then I should leave, dummy!" I gasped and covered my mouth. That was the first time that I ever called him the 'D' word. I was really mad, especially with him. I could see that he was hurt by my words because he looked down and teared up, not saying a word. I let out a heavy sigh. I had to leave now. There was no way that he was going to forgive me for the things that I said. Even I would not forgive myself for saying such hurtful things. "S-Slappy...I-I am sorry..." I threw my doll to the ground and began climbing the fence to leave this park once and for all, and there was no turning back. That is, until... "Ah!" My hands were so sweaty that I lost my grip on the fence - and started falling.Complete
My Last Breath (Book one of The Portal Series)
BOOK ONE: Having enough courage to run through the woods and away from the people who convinced me they were saving me was not how I believed I'd spend my day. Yet, there I went escaping from the only place I knew existed in the world. Being held captive was too much for me, especially when these people wouldn't tell me who they were or even who I was. The first moment in my life I recall very clearly. I awoke in a dark room, with recollection of everything that happened in the world except for one thing. I had no memory of myself existing, I didn't know where I was or why these men kept me from leaving. Days after I first woke I asked plenty of questions, and yet none of them were answered. The only thing I learned was that I was not allowed outside because the woods heald the most powerful magic on the planet, the most dangerous magic. It was more than just bad men and curiosity about the forest that got me to leave, it was a pull towards something; towards magic. Once I was in the forest turning back was never an option, so I put it in my head that I'd keep walking until I found a civilization or a nice paved road that would lead to safety. But that never happened because the forest has a force living through it. Believing that the forest held something strange was the easy part but experiencing it myself was something totally different. I didn't expect anything normal but I didn't expect to be completly engulfed into the forest. I was led by an unknown presence that made me truly believe it was a living being, and in fact it is. I was innocent then, but now I know that anything can be hidden under a small platform in the woods with a secret bigger than the world itself. I was given life that day, until it all ended months later; the day I took my last breath.Complete

Right as Renata grabbed the ingredients, she turned to put them next to the stove, where a clean, plastic cutting board awaited. But as she moved, she was confronted by a stranger, an intruder, standing mere inches from her. Before she could scream, he was on her, slamming her against the fridge. Her back flashed with sharp pain. Her eyes pricked with fear as she drank in his uncovered face. Deeply tanned skin. Ruby red eyes-ruby red eyes? Thick, slashing eyebrows. Flat, broad nose. Buzzcut. Handsome. That was as far as she would go in complimenting him considering this guy held a knife to her throat. When he spoke, his voice came out like thunder. It held a thousand threats and a thousand secrets. It held promise of pain if provoked. "If you scream," he warned, mouth pulled in a slight snarl, "this ends quickly." She didn't dare nod against the blade. He noticed and amusement lit up for just a second in those devilish eyes. Oh, whoever the fuck this was, she already hated him. Considering her predicament, panic was the most prominent emotion coursing through her at the moment. "Good." He removed his hand "Now you're going to answer my questions." °°MATURE AND EXPLICIT CONTENT OF ALL KINDS, AND I MEAN ALL KINDS°Complete

Silent Heroes: Wildcat
"What the hell?" I took a step closer to the mirror, staring at my reflection in disbelief. The person looking back was still me, but at the same time it wasn't. I had the same thick, dark, curly hair. The same hazel eyes. The same olive skin with a light dusting of freckles (ugh) scattered across the bridge of my nose. But my curls were now streaked with highlights. And not the subtle, golden-brown ones that sometimes appeared during the summer. No, these were an aggressive, dazzling blond that went from the roots of my hair all the way to the tips. It looked like I had spent a full day getting my hair done in some upscale salon. Never mind that I had never set foot in such a place since the day I was born. My eyes appeared somehow wider and more luminous. The colour brighter, my eyelashes darker up against them. And, when I looked closely, my pupils seemed to be slitted almost like a cat. I looked down at my body. My skinny arms-which had always refused to gain any definition no matter how hard I exercised-were lined with flat, wiry muscles. My bony shoulders were now curved and smooth. My scrawny legs were toned like a dancer. I reached down and lifted my shirt, revealing two subtle lines running vertically down my perfectly flat stomach, hinting at the rock-hard abs underneath. My whole body was rippling with strength. Like liquid steel.Complete
The Blood Order
"Are you coming to bed firefly?" He says to me laying his hands over my waist joining me in looking over the city. "I want to look out for a little longer if that is alright?" I mumble hoping that he heard me anyways, I wasn't ready to walk into that bedroom, and I don't think I ever would be. "Of course, I'll be getting ready for bed, come in whenever you are ready." He says confidently and walks away leaving my waist cold something for which I am grateful. Especially when my mind burns with other more dangerous thoughts. The warmth that forever lingers in the air, never burning the skin, but always reminding about what is around us. I force air into my lungs feeling the unexpected warmth fill me. He stands in the room watching me even though he said he was getting ready for bed. He is worried about me, about me jumping. I have contemplated it I will admit, but he would stop me before I fell even two feet. I was stuck, and no one could save me. Not even myself, my fucking weak self. His presence is demanding no matter where we are, but right now I could sense everything about him, and I try to suppress the unwanted feelings that curl right under my skin. "Firefly? About done?" He calls out and I release my hand from the guard rail not realizing that as I looked at the lights that covered the shining city with the falling fire in the background that my subconscious was thinking about how nice it would be... how relieving it would be... to just fall. True freedom. I take a step back and wrap my hands together turning around to a fully clothed unchanged man and nod once. I could see the fear in his eyes that I would, he knows if he gave me the chance... I wasn't ready for this, but I had to survive. No matter what.

Kairos is the name, just your average magically gifted Guardian running from her problems... Years ago I walked away from my home, Empire Island, and turned my back on my sacred vow to protect its magic. I thought I could enjoy my freedom, but my past has caught up to me.

Her Secret
I sighed heavily as I scanned the forest. I had heard something or someone to be specific, wandering about. I decided I would leave once I affirmed they weren't a danger. "What are you doing in my land, human?" A deep enchanting voice spoke I sighed once again "I'm not human, just smell like one" I spoke as I turned around to see the most stunning man I have ever seen "Mate" he spoke "Find another female, Lycan" I spat He only growled at me in response. Men. My brother was the same way. It's kinda funny how all, correction, most shifter men think alike. I would've thought he would be different, after all, he is Lycan. Something of myths. But then again, so are the supernatural. I turned away from him, not even looking at him. I didn't want to remember what he looked like so I didn't give him a second glance. I heard him move closer. I quickly grabbed the knife out of my holster and threw it at a tree next to him. He stops moving then. "Heed my warning. It's the only one you'll get" I spoke coldly "I will find you. Then you will have no escape from me" he spoke as he backed away I could understand. Lycans, like lion-shifters, were going extinct. Therefore mates were even more important to them.
