The second is an unexpected first meeting with a new transfer student on their first day of sixth form school, with whom she falls in love. The third are nightmarish visions of a sadistic, remorseless size-shifter with an obsession for cannibalism and a power far greater than hers. As the year goes on, the small town of Vorford is hit by a series of sudden disappearances, giving rise to fears of a serial killer within it. Faced with constant internal and outward struggles, Jamie must decide between her morals or her desires, pushing her into a final shattering choice everyone's lives depend on. ***** [Word Count: 110,000] **THIS IS A FIRST DRAFT FORMAT, AND IS 100% ORIGINAL CONTENT WORK, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.

Loved the dangerous carnality of the chapter. The audacious, wanton Katie and lethal, corrupting Paul. No better setting for a mysterious unfolding of twisted psychology of a serial killer. @JDFanFF - Paul is just as dark and morbid as in the show. You describe his feelings so well that I don't have to watch the show to picture these scenes. @NarcotizedHearts - Wow! That was a really HOT chapter and the way you used the pictures of the series was always properly. I felt like watching 'The Fall' before my eyes once again but with the extra of your kinky moments. Please update soon! ❤️ @VintageKiss24 - This is very intriguing! Very eloquently written and you can feel the sense of fear and danger with every word! Hope there's more soon! @NYCgal38 - Love love love this chapter!!!
