Most things, no matter the circumstances, can usually be expected to pass with the likelihood of a sudden storm. Be in and out of our paths given enough time. But every so often, time isn't enough. And so very rarely, nothing is enough.
Aspen, a relatively young dragon, has found himself being constantly tantalized by a second-hand force that follows him at a whim of insanity. A mysterious corruption. A being that indirectly controls his thoughts and feelings through torture and spite. Aspen doesn't know the origin of the presence that has always strung over him, but a resentful past has grown this heinous being into power, and now an uncomfortable stalemate has risen between the mentality of this young dragon and the omnipotent shadow that follows him.
Take to this tale of suspense and paranoia through the eyes of this burdened and broken dragon, in which he undergoes burning dilemmas, scarring anguish, and saddening revelation. Witness the misfortune of chance with the muffed scenarios this story may present through a new and inspiring world. Implore on being lost and clueless to thoughtless resentment and suffering. The mixture of stressful elements that swirl into this life story, as some might say, morph into an imperfect slew of sorrow. Try to be so keen as to pick up on these things as the story continues, but do take care as to not let it go to your head.

"WHY CAN'T YOU GET IT INSIDE YOUR HEAD?" He trapped my trembling body between his arms and slammed his fist into the wall. I flinch at the sound as I feel tears forming in my eyes.

Shutting my eyes closed and turning my face to the side as I do. Moments later, I feel his rough hand on my waist and his finger grazing my cheek. "Look at me, love." His hand grips onto my jaw, his thumb playing across my lower lip. He turns my face to meet his as I lower my gaze to the floor. He lowers himself to my level and I feel his breath fanning my cheek causing my breathing to become unsteady. "I love you so much, darling. But you need to learn. You need to learn that you won't be going anywhere. You're mine." With that being said, his other hand slides down to my waist "Your entire body, your mind, your soul. All mine."

Out of the Dark (Book #1) {Complete ✔}
When I was little, my mother used to tell me stories about an ancient world that contained mystical and strange creatures -created by the gods it was supposed to divide the humans and the creatures. Her stories were mostly about brave Guardians that had the obligation of protecting the other world. This world was to be called the Portal World. As I grew up in difficult conditions I dismissed all those ideas out of my head. Tales are for children and nothing of it was true. Or so I thought. Until the day the guy I hated the most saved me from imminent death. *** Deep in my being an unbearable anger scattered itself through my body. I clenched my fists. A violent jerk started building up to my vocal cords. I gritted my teeth to keep it under control but in vain my lips began to move. "My life is not an Illusion!" The small crowd still gathered inside the café went silent as they all turned to see what was happening. I bit my lip in embarrassment. Jack slowly turned around and instantly met my eyes. "You'd be surprised", he stated with a disturbing twinkle in his eyes. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Thank you for stopping at this book.
