"Another lonely day in this lonely abode.." sighed Krimson, the ruler of the Shadow world- or well.. more of a second in command. With his lover by his side, life seemed simple, until the current task at hand became more than a handful.
Finding 12 new recruits for a job seemed simple, people would be lining up, right? Wrong. It was a task he dreaded and pushed off until the last minute, even his lover, Vinnie or Cinnamon as he was better known as, urged him to get this done day by day only to hear a groan from Krimson.
Now, on the last day, Krimson must scramble to find 12 fresh teens before the clock strikes midnight and everyone loses their shadows.
Shadows are an important part as to what makes up a person, their shadows are what look out for them, the ones that always have their back and protect them from danger. Losing your shadow would be far from good. The job, you may ask? Why is there a dire need to find these 12 young kids? Well, their job is to make sure that everyone has a shadow to protect them from dangers that lurk within the In Between. Where theres little light and far too much darkness, this is where the Ghouls roam. Would be such a shame to die from the hands of a Ghoul.
But are 12, almost incompetent teens, enough to keep the whole world out of danger from the In Between?

The King Of All Vampire Kings (Book 1) ✔️ new edition coming soon:)
Book 1 of (The Awakening Series) {#1 Supernatural} {#1 Paranormal} {#1 Lycans} {#1 Vampire Romance} {#5 Royalty} The world went to shit long before I was born. Humans like me use to believe other species were nothing more than fictional characters, myths, or figures of one's imagination. But that was before vampires left the shadows and decided to reveal their species to the world. I've been told that teenage girls use to fantasize about being swooshed off their feet by those mysterious creatures. Insane. Matter of fact, insane would be an understatement, they were fucking lunatics. Vampires are not some fictional character that would love you like no other. No, vampires are not some sort of myth, and they most certainly are not, a figment of anyone's imagination. They are very real, and they despise the human race. In fact, they have enslaved my entire species and formed a new world. Each continent is owned by a ruthless, bloodsucking, barbaric, the vampire king. Every single one of them has played a part in the war of the awakening, showing no mercy, killing without question. Humans didn't even stand a chance. Our army and world leaders were killed or imprisoned in less than a couple of days. They slaughtered my race, but it didn't stop there. No, that was only the beginning of human suffering. Trust me when I say the death was truly a kindness, because anyone who survived the awakening, would beg for death. I was positive that my suffering would come to an end when I turned eighteen. I was hoping and praying to be marked as a feeder, nothing more, nothing less. Death was the only way out of this world. You see, all of the kings who ruled over the earth were cruel and calculating. They are all tyrants in their own right and they all answered to one vampire. Who was known as the most barbaric of them all and I was marked as his chosen. The King of all Vampire Kings.

Eternal Metamorphosis
Earth has been transformed into an unpredictable nightmare by an alien force, its landscapes constantly shifting in time. Forests become oceans, mountains dissolve into endless plains, and creatures born of chaos emerge in every corner of this broken world. But the greatest threat comes at night. Shadowy predators that hunt in the darkness, vanishing only when struck by light. In the midst of this chaos, a 20 year old woman struggles to protect the only family she has left: her 10 year old brother. Together, they navigate a world that reshapes itself without warning, battling both the horrors around them and the haunting question of what caused this catastrophe. Driven by love and relentless determination, she fights to keep him safe. Even as the darkness closes in. Elyra "This world tears everything apart. The skies, the earth, the things we love, everything is devoured by this merciless transformation. Forests turn into oceans, deserts into dense jungles, and what was once home yesterday is nothing but a shadow today. In this world, constantly dragging us into the abyss, I have only one purpose: to protect my little brother. He can't see how often I cry at night, how often the fear eats away at me. The shadows are the worst. They come from the darkness, they hunt, they consume. I've seen things I'll never be able to forget. But as long as I'm breathing, I'll keep fighting. For him. For us. This world wants to tear us apart, but it will never succeed. Not as long as I'm here."Complete

It Knows Your Name (finished)
Some monsters hide under your bed. This one lives under your skin. For Maggie Caldwell, life was already teetering on the edge. A struggling single mother with two kids and a past she can't outrun, she thought her worst battles were behind her-until the night something inhuman latched onto her family. It starts small: a shadow that shouldn't move, whispers bleeding through the walls, her children waking up screaming with words they shouldn't know. But this is no ghost. It's something older, hungrier. And it doesn't just haunt-it burrows. As the creature digs deeper, feeding on her fears and regrets, Maggie must confront the secrets she's buried and the choices she never wanted to make. The closer she gets to the truth, the tighter its grip becomes. It wants her. It knows her. And if Maggie doesn't fight back, it'll consume everything-her sanity, her family, and the last scraps of her soul. But how do you kill a monster that already knows all your darkest thoughts? Gripping, visceral, and unrelenting, "It Knows Your Name" will drag you to the edge of fear and leave you questioning the shadows in your own mind.

Shadow Love (World Collisions) [#1]
No matter how many parts there are you just subtract two and you get the real number of how many parts there are. * A small collection of short stories that seem to be nothing, but hold a deeper meaning than just that. * "Everything leads into everything. But, that doesn't mean because everything leads into everything that those people who are connected to that everything means they know each other and it doesn't mean that they will by the end of it. So, what's the point of everything leading into everything? That there is shadow love. Shadow love is something that can be described as love in a romantic way, a platonic way, a familiar and family way. There is an endless meaning of it, it's not just one box that fits under one label. It's everything and it's all around us. No one will understand. But, that's ok. I don't mind being misunderstood." ~C.T. It was note that a hooded figure always kept around because they felt as if the world around them was always crumbling even though they were the one to blame for that. A tale of a hooded figure and a shadow creature. * #18 morallesson out of 473 #13 paths out of 430 #48 truthbetold out of 1,000+ #2 hoodedfigure out of 27 #87 watcher 660Complete
