Gwendolyn Manners boarded the Metro at 8:01 pm on a Tuesday night.
She was running away from her life, and as she soon discovered, so were the six other people on the Metro with her.

But their separate escapes are cut short by a man who tells them to exit the Metro into the dark, empty subway tunnels. His conditions are that if they find their way out before 1 am, they can be free. If not, one person will have to die in order for the others to live. And, of course, there will be plenty of obstacles in the tunnel that will try their hardest to make sure none of them ever leave.

Gwendolyn knows escaping before 1 am is their only option, but some of her new companions might have different plans. Everyone around her has a dirty little secret and a shocking reason for ending up on a Metro with her on that quiet Tuesday night.All Rights Reserved

Falling For Him Anyway by Leah10103

Gwendolyn was different. There was no doubt about it. She was told constantly by her friends that she had a body to die for. She was sarcastic and was never one to entertain the circus. If she had something to say she would say it. After being cheated on by her ex, exacting revenge on him, and being harrased by the younger one of her bosses, Gwendolyn manages to get a new job with the help of her Best friend working for the fearsome Xavier Wells. He was cold, distant and had a mysterious past. He had always worn dark sunglasses, even when there was no sun. Xavier found himself lost, not knowing what to do, everytime he was with Gwendolyn or if he even thought about her. His dark past taught him that people couldn't love, it was just lust or too much to drink. Until her. Gwendolyn made him feel again. Though he warned her everytime that she must not fall for him. They both fell before realizing it. Now she was his and He would not lose her as well.

Until You Break by edgingthedarkness

Summary: She wasn't interested. When she finally did cave, she never meant for it to be more than one night. A fleeting indulgence. A mistake she could forget. But Jake doesn't forget. He doesn't let go. And when she tries to move on, he reminds her- violently, that he won't allow it. What begins as an unsettling fixation spirals into something far darker, something suffocating. He watches her. Follows her. Marks her. She runs, she fights, but the deeper she falls into his madness, the more terrifying the truth becomes. She's starting to crave it, too. Trapped in a brutal game of obsession and power, she faces an impossible choice: destroy him before he destroys her... or surrender to the monster she helped create.

HIS TO TAKE by jinjinjinjina

"Please, Mitchell!" She yelled. Not loud enough. Her voice trapped inside of her. All she wanted was one thing - to be with her child. He had taken away that too. He was punishing her for no reasons. The wounds only grew deeper as she thought that it would have been better if he had killed her that day. Her thoughts were confusing to herself. The voices in her head. The motherhood she felt for the first time, sticking her child to her chest so gently until her child slept. All of that, she never wanted but grew to like it eventually. "Maybe you being away from her will teach you how to behave." His voice louder than her. He walked away locking the door. Leaving her behind with her nightmare. She never wanted this, yet she had to do it for the sake of living. Now she wishes she had never came across him that night. ___________________________________ After being with her abusive father, he sells her to a psychopath for money.
