Just then - as if Xavier had sensed the judge's previous thoughts - he burst in the room, his hands tightly grasping on a gasping Annie.

He yelled: "THE BOOK! TRAVIS WAS MURDERED JUST LIKE IT WAS IN 'CRIMINAL'! AND ARDEN AND ANNIE WERE RECITING LINES FROM IT--"

***

New York has been caught up in yet another murder-mystery.

Author Travis Cliff has been murdered. Like any other case, this, too, should've been just another case of the killer and the victim.

Except Travis himself was a sinner, hands covered in blood of the innocent civilians of the community he resided in; and finally, he had been struck down.

Not a single report had ever been sent to the Murder Investigation department - rather, not a single report had ever reached the department.

When things go further awry, involving a replication of Travis' last book, Xavier - the detective - and James - the judge - seem to have a lot to uncover about the incident...

The Silver Fighter | ✓ by LiseR05

"I already killed your mother, Cam." As the words left my enemy's mouth like a mocking sneer, I growled under my breath at the mention of my old name. Memories started to boil up that I had been wanting to squash deep into my heart. Bad memories. "As you can guess, I'm here to finish the job." He continued with that ever-present sinister smirk on his face. And in that moment, a sudden burst of confidence just appeared within me. Or blatant stupidity. 'I'll take either one.' I silently admitted to myself. I rolled my eyes at his so-called 'threat', not really intimidated in the least. "Yeah, like that went so well the first time. The first time, you fucked up enough to get caught by the police." I pointed out. "The second time, your grown-ass men got their asses handed to them by two teenagers." I snorted at him. "Your odds aren't looking too good here, Berti." ~•~ Losing her father? Lovely. Getting in a car accident with her aunt, uncle, and cousin and being the sole survivor? Fantastic. Losing her mother because a deranged psychopath holds a grudge even better than The Grinch? Amazing. Being ostracized from her own family save from her paternal grandparents, and getting the blame for her mother's death? Cherry on top of the cake. Having to make sure three idiotic twats don't get themselves killed because they couldn't mind their own bloody business? Bloody hell, that's an entire ice cream cake with ten pounds of gummy bears. ~•~ Join Grace Stanton as she faces her demons and the demons of her past all while trying not to commit murder against her three new friends. Fun times. (First book in the Gilded series) ~•~ [#1 Streetracer - 4/21/21] [#1 Gangs - 9/16/21] [#1 Boxer - 9/12/21] [#1 Fighter - 12/11/21] [#2 Boxing - 9/3/21] [#1 Girlpower - 2/12/21]

Reckless by ItsPrettyReckless

Some things are just unintended... like bumping into a conceited vampire at a party, hating his guts then - against all your better judgement and frequent protests - inexplicably making him believe that you've fallen in love with him. Then before you know it you're being sucked into a world of fantasy and danger that you had no idea existed. Of course, these things are just bound to happen to Anne Forbes - it's just her luck. She doesn't even want this, but who even asked for her opinion on these things?

✨COMPLETED✨ I took a few steps before I stopped to face him again. "Jay?" I said, barely above a whisper. "Hmm?" "I love you. You know that right?" I asked, kind of unsure. "of course. Of course I do." He said, scrunching his eyebrows as if he doesn't understand why I would randomly say that. "I love you very much." I repeated, every bone in my body aching from this pain, this betrayal. What I'm doing, or going to do, is definitely some form of betrayal. But I don't have a choice, right? He needs to understand that I don't have a choice. Or do I? "I do too. But...Why are you saying it like that?" He asked, feeling a little anxious. "Like what?" I replied, praying to dear God he doesn't say something that'll make me cry. "Like you're saying goodbye." 🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸 Alexis Pierce is just another high school clumsy story.

Immortal (COMPLETED) by JORDANCIAGA

His hands rush to pick up thin dollar bills leaving small paper cuts on his fingers and I can feel the anxiety seeping off of his body. Sweat collecting into a small bead on his neck as he says something like, "You don't know who my boss is, bitch." I press the metal deeper into his scalp, saying I don't give a fuck about who his boss is and if any money is missing I'll take it in the form of bodies. I pull a long strand of brown hair out of my mouth as he tosses a bag into my hand. With a slight smile through my ski mask, I shoot two tiles out in the ceiling before darting out the store and into a back alley. The cashier's nametag ringing in my head as I ran.

The Drafted Reality and Dreams by AnonymousWorker

It was a dark cold night-the night where the birds lay dead on the cold ground, listening in to the deceased whispers. This is the night where blood was once spilled. Jeremy hid behind a tree, holding on his thigh-his thigh was bleeding as he got stabbed. Jeremy looked at his wound, cursing under his breath. Jeremy looked around to see if anyone was nearby, there wasn't anyone nearby but he could hear the screaming of his pals. He could do nothing but to weep, he got out of his hiding spot and went deeper into the woods. He was wincing in pain as he dragged his injured leg. It was dark, too dark to the point even the moonlight couldn't provide light. Jeremy tripped over a tree root, he winced in pain, squeezing his injured thigh in pain. He soon heard a twig being snapped close to him. He pulled himself together, getting back on his feet. Dragging his leg once more. This time he raised the pace, panicking as he knew that he was being followed. He soon came across an abandoned truck that was in a small field. He smiled in relief, getting inside of the truck. He heard movement from his right, seeing a silhouette of a being that was coming closer to him. He panicked, climbing to the other seat to close the door. Once the door was closed, he locked the doors-backing away after. The door handle was being pulled aggressively but soon stopped. He took off his jacket and wrapped it around his thigh, he winced in pain as he made it tight. He looked around the truck, trying not to move too much. He eventually found a pen and a piece of paper. He started writing on it as a way to let anyone who came to the amusement park to leave immediately. first chapter of "The Drafted Reality and Dreams" has been rewritten! it's a bit shorter and has the same details just like the first chapter originally did. ⚠️ !This novel includes drugs, murder/murderers, cussing, suicide! ⚠️ [Draft] - No Proofreading or editing.

Be Mine ~ ✔️ by ScarletSane

(Under editing) Lucinda was bound tightly to a wooden chair, her wrists secured to the armrests, her legs strapped apart. Her head hung low, wet strands of hair clinging to her bruised face. Sweat dripped from her forehead, stinging the fresh cuts lining her cheekbones. The heavy door creaked open. A figure clad in black stepped inside, his silhouette dominating the dimly lit room. Behind him stood an army of guards, their postures rigid, their presence suffocating. With a mere flick of his fingers, one of the guards approached Lucinda, grabbing a nearby bucket of ice-cold water. Without hesitation, he hurled it at her. The shock of the freezing liquid jolted her awake. Her chest rose and fell sharply as she gasped, blinking furiously against the burning sensation in her wounds. "Well, well... how was the journey?" The voice was deep, cold, dripping with amusement. Lucinda slowly lifted her gaze, her brown eyes locking onto the piercing blue orbs of the man standing before her.
