The Dea → Peter Pan ✔ by abouttoexpplode

In which a boy who thinks he controls everything meets the girl who actually does. --- Peter Pan is king of Neverland, a mystical island of his own creation. His Lost Boys serve as his troops and have been his only company for the last millennium. Until his shadow brought a girl to Neverland, by the name of Wendy Darling. But she's not the one this story's about. Why? It's simple. Because she's dead. She broke Peter's heart, so he killed her. Only he and the Lost Boys know what happened the night Wendy disappeared, and Peter means to take the secret to his grave, assuming he ever dies, of course. If the Lost Boys know what's good for them, they will too. None of the other creatures on the island have any idea of what became of the one girl who had ever set foot on Neverland. However, what at first seems to be a siren with a know-it-all attitude threatens to change all that. She knows exactly why Peter's heart is shattered. But what she wants to do with that information is, for the very first time, is absolutely unclear to Peter. That doesn't sit well with the Ruler of Neverland. And whatever doesn't sit well with Peter, he either figures it out or kills it. The problem is, he can't seem to manage to do the first option, and for some reason, can't bring himself to do the second. --- Dea: Goddess [Latin]

BLOOD CURSE (sample chapters) by williamblackwell333

Recently relocated to Prince Edward Island, MacKenzie Adamson starts to feel the isolation of country living. Starving for affection, companionship and love, the debilitating depression demons begin to sink their teeth into his already damaged psyche. He becomes obsessed with a beautiful woman half his age. Only problem is, Ophelia Sallis won't give him the time of day. Desperate to find friends and female companionship, Mac seeks the aid of Voodoo witch Magdeline Ortega who casts a love spell to unite the two. Initially it works like a miracle, but before long, Mac begins blacking out and sleeping with multiple women, even touching some inappropriately in public. None of it he remembers. Magdeline informs him something has gone terribly wrong with the spell and the only way to reverse it is to go to the Dominican Republic and participate in a strange and mysterious ritual. On the Caribbean island, the alcohol-induced lasciviousness worsens as Mac meets his motley crew of morally compromised, partying and womanizing friends, and is unable to track down Magdeline. Things begin to go horribly wrong when he realizes a jilted ex-girlfriend has become bent on his destruction, and powerful evil Voodoo spirits are using him as a pawn in a violent tug-of-war to gain control of the spirit world. Spiraling down a reckless black abyss of debauchery, Mac struggles to free himself from the dangerous natural and supernatural forces hell-bent on his demise, while also fighting to find himself and his sanity. A roller-coaster horror ride that documents many gritty and real elements of danger that exist in this so-called idyllic island paradise.

The Old Acacia Tree by AlvinLauran

In the tranquil yet enigmatic village of Carmelo, nestled along the coast of Tuburan, Cebu, the ordinary masks a dark and terrifying secret. This once peaceful community is haunted by the sinister presence of an ancient acacia tree, rooted in a curse that has plagued the village for centuries. When Maria returns to Carmelo to visit her uncle, Father Antonio, she is thrust into a chilling mystery involving disappearing children, eerie symbols, and a vengeful spirit bound to the old acacia tree. As Maria and her enigmatic companion Diego delve deeper into the village's hidden history, they uncover a dark sorcerer's twisted legacy and an ancient curse tied to a powerful witch, Isabella, who was wronged by the villagers long ago. Together, they must unravel the secrets of the curse, face malevolent forces, and perform dangerous rituals to save Carmelo from impending doom. Along the way, they encounter spectral apparitions, battle demonic entities, and navigate the treacherous terrain of supernatural horror. With each chapter, the stakes rise as Maria and Diego confront their deepest fears, form alliances with the villagers, and unearth the dark forces that lurk beneath Carmelo's serene surface. As they race against time to break the curse, they discover that the village's salvation lies in their hands, and the cost of failure is unthinkable. Will Maria and Diego succeed in freeing Carmelo from the grip of the old acacia tree's curse, or will the village be consumed by darkness forever? "Carmelo Horror Stories: The Old Acacia Tree" is a spine-chilling tale of courage, sacrifice, and the unyielding fight against ancient evils, spanning sixty chapters of relentless suspense and supernatural terror.

The Blackwell Legend. It dates back before the Salem witch trials, which tells of a family having mystical abilities to open portals, make objects move on their own, and even... talk to the dead. Over a hundred years ago the two eldest brothers had a falling out that split the family. One side turned to the light, and used their gifts cautiously; while the other embraced the dark, and death always followed. Present Day... After moving into a haunted house, gifted twins Max and Megan Blackwell hear of the legend and discover they've moved to a town that hate and fear them because of their name. With the help of new allies they must decide who to trust as they fight against evil, both the living, and the dead, and struggle to find their untold destiny as The Chosen Ones...
