Behind The Reasons by AshleyWillows9

"What are you doing in my house?" A familiar voice pierced through my ears and my heart ran wild. "Alec..." It felt as though the words were stuck into my throat and I could not get them out. "You have been stalking me since a whole good month." His dark eyes were already filled with rage as his nose flared and his lips were already dried. "And now you broke into my house." "Alec, please listen. I will explain you everything, I promise." My vision was getting blurred due to the unwanted hot fluid into my eyes. "What do you want to know? How long are you going to suspect for nothing? Do you even know what you are getting yourself into?" Without waiting for another moment, I ran out of his house, leaving him in absolute darkness. ____________________________________ Ashley Willows moves to Washington to find the reasons behind the disappearance of her missing best friend, Bella. She tries everything she possibly could to find her. What happens when she joins the same school her friend attended and meets the people who are the reasons behind her disappearance? Would she be able to find her at the end at all? Or maybe the truth is somewhere close to causing betrayal, pain and depression.

Ghost Games by the_demented_girl

'If you are reading this then you are Blissfully Unaware of what is Creeping right behind you.'- Unknown. ************************************ "I am not afraid." She said to herself trying to calm her heartbeats. She stood right in front of the dusty glass door. Placing both her hands on it she tried to push the door. For the split of a second she saw a young lady, her hands and face covered in blood, impatiently banging on the door. The wind around her went crazy. She heard random whispers in her head. Rhea was unable to focus on anything around her but the lady. The lady was saying something but for Rhea it felt like some random lips movement. She was scared out of her wits. Then suddenly everything went dead silent. The lady vanished. The whispers and the wind stopped. But then Rhea saw light imprints of blood on the glass door under the dusty layer. ************************************ This book basically contains short horror stories of my own imagination. They may be a bit creepy and weird but that's how the book goes. These stories are short but scary. I hope you'll enjoy them. It's my first book ever so please support it.

Lies Left Unsaid by B_Ander

The perfect girl. The perfect life. The perfect murder. Caitlyn Coates had it all-beauty, brains, money, and a future as dazzling as her smile. With Yale on the horizon and graduation just weeks away, she should have been celebrating. Instead, she's dead. All that remains of Highland Park High's golden girl is a pinky finger, a clump of hair, and a red silk thong-clues that ignite a media frenzy and leave her affluent Chicago suburb reeling. Enter Detective Brandon, a seasoned cop with little patience for gossip and even less for lies. But in a community where appearances mean everything, everyone has a secret worth protecting. Paired with an eager rookie and hounded by relentless press coverage, Detective Brandon must navigate a web of privilege, envy, and betrayal to uncover the truth. Told through multiple perspectives-including Caitlyn's own chilling voice from beyond the grave-this twisting psychological thriller reveals that the deadliest lies aren't the ones spoken aloud, but the ones left unsaid. Highland Park has always looked perfect from the outside. But peel back the glossy surface, and you'll find that perfection can be deadly.

When we arrived, I noticed that there was a light on in Taimane's bedroom that was definitely not on when we left. Taimane saw it too, but didn't think much of it. It was strange of her not to notice little things like that, and even weirder that if she did notice it, she knew why it was still on. It was that night that everything changed for Deimante Alexander. The young murder detective needs to learn how to cope with grief, love and several cases of life and death, and she needs to learn fast. But just when she has control over her world, it starts shifting.
