Behind Closed Doors
I never thought my life would be like this; trapped in a dark room and scared for my life. A blindfold was wrapped around my head, covering my eyes, making me completely blind and on high alert. My breathing was ragged and I could smell the mold that was most likely covering most of the room. My hands were tied behind my back, my feet tied together and I was sitting on the floor, propped up against a wall. I heard a slight shuffling across the room that was coming closer to me. I tried my hardest to keep my breathing under control to seem confident and fearless, but in reality, I was shitting my pants and squealing like a scared little girl on the inside. To say I was terrified was a drastic understatement. I was petrified, shaking with fear, but they were not going to know that. "Who are you?!" I demanded. If I was going to die, it would be with the name of my kidnapper. A voice boomed closely to me, "Well, if I told you that, this wouldn't be any fun." **************** Skylar James, a 24 year old girl, is kidnapped by a very well known gang who has a vendetta against her family.

Though, behind closed doors is a whole other story.Complete

A story, in which a typical teenage girl falls for the school's bad boy. Except, she's not that typical and he's not that much of a bad boy. *** "If I told you that I care about you, more than anyone in your life does, would you believe me?" He asked me, his jaw clenched. I could tell he was furious. Yet somehow, I wasn't scared of him. "No" I shook my head bravely. "If I told you,'' He tried again, closing his eyes and taking a deep breath before continuing.''That you make me so fucking mad, I want to punch a fucking wall. What would you say?" He had me trapped now, my back painfully colliding with the wall behind me. I gasped at the impact, looking up into his icy grey eyes. They were cold, emotionless. As always. "Do it!" I dared him with the last ounce of courage I had left in me. The sound of his fist smashing through the wall right next to my head, made my ears ring for a brief moment. I opened my mouth to speak again, shaking slightly, only for him to pull away and leave me standing there alone. ____ !!Warning!!

In which, a fractured soul meets one of the same and falls 𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐚𝐧𝐥𝐲 in love. ❦ "Everyone knew the tale of the young boy who savagely slaughtered his family at the ripe age of ten. It was a tale as old as time, a song as old as rhythm. The newspapers asked why. The investigators demanded answers. Psychiatrists searched endlessly for a motive. Yet Aleksandr Volkov never uttered a single word. What the world didn't know, however, was the sinister truth lurking just beneath the surface. Aleksandr was merely a child when he was locked away inside an institution for the criminally insane. Now, at twenty-three years old, he is to be released back into society under the naïve belief that he is ready to begin a better life. Little do they know... Aleksandr has no interest in redemption. He wants to watch the world crumble beneath his perfectly polished shoes. To watch empires collapse, to watch dynasties burn. To watch every lie carefully built over the past thirteen years come crashing down. Beginning with the man who started it all. Nikolai Petrov...Death is coming for you."

They don't see the bruises she has to cover up every morning. They don't see her having to step up to take care of her two younger siblings. She puts on a fake smile as soon as she walks through the school doors and slowly builds her walls up higher as each day goes on. She thinks no one will ever see past her facade...that is, until three new bad boys come strolling into town taking an automatic interest in Dakota.
