My mother birthed me in a small dungeon cell where she was locked away by a cruel king. For eighteen years these stone walls and metal bars were my home - the only place I ever knew. I have never seen sunlight. I have never experienced the outside world. But everything changed when the king ordered my release, and all secrets came to light.

He dragged her to the basement; it smelt like fresh blood, human flesh, and death. The walls had blood smeared on them as if it was canvas, and death was their muse. He pushed her in, hovering over her, "Don't call a monster by its name, Petard; he will pull your heartstrings and show it to you before crushing it underneath its hands, turning it to dust. Oh! And one more thing darling, you should be more afraid of the monsters in my head darling, for they are terrible things" he grabbed a vat of liquid dumping it on her. Before she realized what was happening, Scarlett liquid started dripping down her body, making her chill to the bone, and a deafening scream followed, piercing the silence of the iron walls.

Darling Mine (My Darling 1) by ihwrites

A caged animal is infinitely more dangerous than a free one, for it has no concept of freedom upon which to hope. Hope was only to be granted to it if it behaved. I had been so naive, believing that there was some way to escape this place. I had honestly believed these creatures were capable of mercy, compassion even. I should have known better. *** Elsie's world is ruled by vampires. Every year women across the country are offered in tribute. Selected to serve in the royal castle, Elsie must navigate a world of power and monsters if she is to survive. *Updates every Sunday*

The Promise of the Dawn by balletfaithbooks

CHRONICLES OF CROWN AND CASUALTY BOOK 2- She was a stranger in someone else's land. A visitor to the grandeur of a royal. Allied with someone who was born into power and luxury, yet she had fought for her place. She had spilled blood for her crown. Grieved for the ability to govern. Her story was tormented by guilt, betrayal, loss, and pain, and so it became overlooked as other stories blossomed from the ashes of hers. Stories of beautiful Princesses in castles, strong knights fighting for the favor of fair maidens, and beautiful parties filled with elaborate gowns flooded everyone's heads instead, entirely disregarding those with less of an idealistic story, who pathed the way for the stories everyone grew to love. Now, the time has come for other stories to be told, despite their imperfections. THIS is the Duchess's.

"I don't know, maybe a distraction for the someone who is already attracted to something else." my voice becomes emotionless. So, what if she's a Royal when in reality she has no family to rely on. The high magnificent walls of the palace hides such truths that none could expect, and she is now hell bent to uncover those, for these are the truths that have made her life so miserable. And what happens if those who once did so wrong to her are now back to ask forgiveness and a place in her life. And now with a new identity she is back to take her rights and take account & punish everyone who have wronged her.

There's always a special quality to the loneliness of dusk, a sorrowness more infectious than the night. She had earned his trust. She had never strayed, betrayed, abandoned. She'd been stalwart, true, loving. To her, he was her everything. But to him, she was only a secret. He was a prince and she was merely his lover. • Dismount your high horse. come take claim of the girl you ruined. Come lay eyes upon the desolation you left in your wake. Do you not hear the devil at your shoulder sharpening his daggers? He sits heavy on your subconscious. Dauntingly smirking at me from afar. Enough of his wretched sins, speak to me with your eyes and perhaps somewhere, some day, at less miserable times, we may repent. In the arms of dusk.
