Description:

"What do you think happens next?" The look on her face was neutral as she asked him the question. The warm orange glow of the fire before them was reflected on her face, the flames dancing in the darkness of her eyes.



"After what?" he questioned, returning his attention to the bright fire.



"After we die. After we leave our people behind with either delightful or horrid memories of us. What happens next? Are we subject to an eternal darkness in the pit of our dug up graves, never to see the sunlight again?"



It was a question he had asked himself countless times. A question he had given up on. A question she had reignited.



"There's a place called the afterlife," he tore his gaze away from the fire. "Some say you get a second chance there. Others say it's a load of fantasy bullshit."



"What do you believe?" she studies him, watching as he tilts his head up to the night sky, observing it.



"Anything's possible, Nya Rose."

Raising Hell by AllyLanger

"I starved myself but I never died. I have no idea how I survived that long without food. The floors I slept on where of moldy brick and sometimes a rat would curl up to my neck. I stopped caring. The warmth kept me sane." I took a deep breath and continued. "The worst part was not knowing. Not knowing what happened to my team. Not knowing happened to my city. I couldn't do anything but stare out the tiny slit of light from under the door. That was my life, that light. I didn't know what time of day it was but that light told me I was still alive. Without it would be darkness." I hear her shift in her chair but stay with my eyes closed. "I think the only thing that kept me going was the pain. It sounds strange but I loved feeling it. It made me feel alive, I still had something. It was the only thing that kept me thinking I wasn't one of the rats. Pain, I realized, was worth it. Because the pain reminded me that I was breathing and awake. And that maybe one day if I ever got out that maybe that pain would go away."

Falling For The Beast by dazlibhadarka

In the dim glow of a single flickering light, a girl lay slumped in a chair, her wrists bound tightly with coarse rope. The room was silent, heavy with the weight of her captivity. Suddenly, the silence was shattered by the door being kicked open. A man stepped inside, his silhouette stark against the darkness. In one hand, he clutched a gun; in the other, a smoldering cigarette. The girl stirred, eyes fluttering open at the sudden intrusion. Panic flared in her gaze as she took in the figure approaching her. "Well, well," the man sneered, his voice dripping with menace. "The princess is finally awake." Fear gripped her as he drew closer. " Where am I? Who are you? Why are you doing this? What do you want from me?" He chuckled, a cruel sound that sent shivers down her spine. "So many questions, Princess. But don't worry-you'll find out soon enough." Without warning, he struck her, sending her back into the void of unconsciousness. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- What if a small event turned your life into a nightmare as the girl's life takes a dark turn.

He shook his head. "No, not that." I looked at him funny. "Then, what do you want me to say?" As if he got offended, he started blinking, trying to find something to say. "I-I don't know! Maybe about where you've been!" I frowned, not really understanding what he's saying. And for a second, I thought he was crazy. "Why are you acting like you don't know me?" ❈ ❈ ❈ After waking up from a year and a half coma, Mia had no choice but to trust her personal nurse to recover.

Eve Black by _nova_writes

Meet Eve Black: I decided to flirt with the guy that did it, "Heyyyy cutie," I say with a wink. "Hey, pretty lady," he says in a gross seductive tone. I can't deny that he is very handsome. He had piercing green eyes that would make any girl go weak at the knees. But I am not any girl. "Can I ask you something?" before he could respond I continue, "Why did you try to drug me?" He looks shocked as my tone went from flirtatious to serious in a matter of two seconds. "Well, I have no idea what you are talking about," he says while slightly panicking. I stand up, "Well if you don't know what I am talking about then why don't you take a sip of my drink?" a few heads turned our way and start watching. "N-no I am good," he stammers confirming that he did in fact try to drug me as I suspected. "You know what, I don't give a damn what you say you 'don't know anything about' because I know what you tried to do to me." I pick up my drink and smash the glass on his head. I watch as the pink drink that was in the glass stains his white button-up collar shirt and his face turns red with anger and embarrassment. As I am walking out I yell back, "You know damn well what you did too." I flip him the bird and I leave the bar and Hazel and all her friends behind. *** Book Cover done by @_navyblueee_

"Do you think it was a mistake?" I asked, leaning closer and pulling her waist toward me. Her nipples pressed against my chest through the sheer fabric of her nightgown, her skin flushing and her breath hitching as she looked down to avoid my gaze. "It was a mistake then?" I repeated, gently lifting her chin with my finger to meet my gaze. My whiskey eyes locked onto her silver ones, and she bit her lower lip. Slowly, I brushed my finger against her lip, and she closed her eyes, breaking eye contact for just a moment. When she opened her eyes, her gaze flickered to my lips before darting back to my eyes. "Yes, it was a mistake, but..." she added, "I want to make the same mistake again." The moment those words escaped her lips, I crashed my mouth onto hers with a force that stole her breath away. ·:*¨༺ ♱✮♱ ༻¨*:· 𝐅𝐫𝐢𝐚 𝐁𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐚𝐤𝐜𝐢, daughter of the Turkish mafia head, is set to marry 𝐄𝐯𝐫𝐞𝐧 𝐃𝐞𝐦𝐢𝐫𝐜𝐢 in a bid to end the long-running rivalry between their families.
