━━━━━━━━━━━━

Lucas, Alex and Evelyn Maganti are home for the summer, and that's really all there should be to it.

But Alyvir isn't quite the same as it was when they left. For one, Darcy's got a new friend, a non-witch boy who's just moved to town, and she's suddenly insisting that she doesn't want to go to school with her older siblings. For another, the twins keep having strange dreams, and Evelyn doesn't understand why they won't tell her anything about them.

So when their older sister Madison decides to investigate the lack of comings and goings from 13 Haven Street - because the kids who live there are meant to be going to stay with their grandparents for the summer - and drags her younger siblings along, the dead bodies they find are just the icing on the cake.

It's soon clear that someone's looking to start a fight between the witches and non-witches of Alyvir, but with everything else... it can't be entirely natural, right?

Join the Maganti siblings as they try to solve the murders before something much worse can happen to their home.

Destiny Brought us Here by your_holy_obsession

Working whatever job she can find, but in reality she's a hitman for hire, she doesn't care who her target is... She kills first and asks questions later. She's trying to keep her brother afloat while she's swimming with blood-thirsty sharks. But when Adam comes into her life, everything starts to crumble, everything she's worked for, everything she knows and loves. Does she spiral? Or does she pull herself together enough to bring down the real villain of the story. Adam... A detective who's worked day and night, losing sleep in finding the mysterious killer who calls herself viper, leaving calling cards, and teasing the police. Until, he finds her- but for some reason..he can't find it in him to arrest her- why? Soon he finds himself questioning.. Who's really the monster hiding under his bed? 18+!!
