⟡ Behind Closed Doors ⟡ by xspixoxo

In a quiet town wrapped in fog and secrets, something ancient stirs beneath the surface. When new blood enters a neighborhood already weighed down by silence, curiosity can become dangerous. Some doors are locked for a reason... and some truths are meant to stay buried. But for April, once she knocks-there's no turning back. ⟡𖤐⟡✧⟡𖤐⟡✧⟡𖤐⟡✧ April had always been curious about the new boy named Gregory, who had moved into her neighborhood. He was quiet, always alone, with a stare that seemed too heavy for someone his age. Rumors began to spread-whispers of screams in the night and strange symbols drawn in red near the woods. Due to him not showing up to school regularly and having been acting quite strange, April's curiosity turned into obsession. Her dreams became disturbed, filled with flickering shadows and haunting whispers that spoke his name. Unexplained disappearances and brutal attacks from a mysterious creature started happening. Victims were found torn apart-no trace of the attacker, only claw marks and eerie silence. And April happened to be stalked by something lurking through the shadows. She soon discovers and is surprised to see who it is. A face she trusted. Having a rare condition... one hidden for generations. To consume blood flesh. 🩸 ⟡𖤐⟡✧⟡𖤐⟡✧⟡𖤐⟡✧ ⚠ Content Warning: strong language, blood/gore, graphic violence, alcohol use, attempt of suicide, SA, and frightening scenes --- This story has a playlist **Listen on Spotify** ---

Riley's Excellent and Not-at-all Fake Exorcism Service by Sophieannqueen

Most people's in-laws try to make their lives a living hell, but Riley's literally succeeded. Not only did they decide that selling their souls to demons was a good idea, they included Riley and her husband, Daniel, in the deal as well. Riley's life wasn't exactly perfect before, what with her failed writing career and not-so-great marriage. But at least she didn't have to worry about creepy demons trying to snatch her body! If it wasn't for the help of a demon named Thomas, she probably (most definitely) would have gotten possessed. Thomas, for reasons unknown, takes a shine to Riley, much to her chagrin. But beggars can't be choosers, and if Riley has any hope of stopping the demons plot, she has no choice but to accept this most peculiar alliance. Not that Thomas makes it easy, with his constant winking and cheesy smirks. To defeat the demons, they enlist the help of a priest named Lanh, who suffers from fainting spells, as well as Riley's instafamous bestie, Andrea. Together, they must work to stop the demon horde from body-snatching everyone and rescue her Daniel-in-distress. . . maybe her in-laws too, but only if they have time.
