The wise, the prim, the kind, the oblivious, and the reckless: they're ingredients for a disaster and the greatest of friends.
Trust is what binds these people together. Fear is was rips them apart. But sometimes these bonds are best severed when there is a serial killer in the picture. Though on the other hand, shouldn't the ones most entrusted be the ones held the closest? That cannot always be the case.
In Rochegrise, France, the Beaumont House is home to (you've guessed it) the Beaumont family, but even more so Caroline's closest friends and chosen family. Since day one of the killings, it is evident that the killer was someone in this peaceful town, the home of beloved, familiar lives. Perhaps it was a neighbor, a passerby, or someone living in that very house.
That's the funny thing about fear. It douses all of those it touches in a paranoia capable of singeing the bonds of trust down to nothing at all. And Caroline Beaumont is falling down, down, down. Bonds disappearing from beneath her.
What better group to be entangled in a string of murders than the one tearing apart at the seams?

I will kill for her (COMPLETE ✅)

His blue eyes met mine, full of this strange intensity I couldn't ignore. I swear, it was like they were staring straight through me, but not in the cold, distant way. No, this was different.

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.

Of Love Tales and Rabbit Tails
After six years in a progressive French boarding school, eighteen-year-old Lady Alice returns to her family's estate in Surrey, dreading the fate that awaits her-- debutante balls, an arranged marriage, and a life she does not want. She would have preferred to stay in France, teaching and writing love tales rather than living one dictated by others. Once cast aside by her own father and a stepmother, Alice finds their sudden desire for reconciliation hollow. Only her childhood best friend, Michael, Marquess Lovelace, seems like a true comfort. But as she settles back into her former home, something strange begins to happen. A black rabbit, eerily familiar, appears in the shadows-- just like the one that belonged to Edmond, her long-forgotten imaginary friend. And then she meets Count D'Arcy, the enigmatic and elusive neighbour whose presence unsettles her. His eyes, his voice, his very being remind her of Edmond. Could it be him? Or is her mind playing tricks on her? As the social season unfolds, Alice finds herself tangled in a web of mystery, romance, and the supernatural. The past and present blur, forcing her to question what is real, what is illusion, and whether love can exist beyond the bounds of reason. In the haunting halls of her childhood home and under the watchful gaze of Count D'Arcy, Alice must uncover the truth before she loses herself to the unknown. ~~~ My entry for the ONC 2025 based on the prompt 105: Your childhood imaginary friend, who disappeared years ago, suddenly returns - only this time, they're real.
