Five hearts, one horror by Lillyboo21722

Days later, the mysterious benefactor is confirmed to have been murdered. Now, the teens are prime suspects in an active investigation. As police begin interrogations, they're forced together under one roof - a sprawling, decaying mansion perched in the Los Angeles hills, filled with secrets, shadows, and whispers. One of them swears it's haunted. Another swears one of them is lying. What starts as survival becomes something deeper - love, betrayal, buried pasts, paranormal terror... and a killer hiding in plain sight. What could be more nerve-wracking than knowing your life, your heart, and your freedom depend on trusting the very people who might destroy you?

The Painting by colleyflowers

"It took me five seconds to fall. The impact on my chest jarring my body but not my mind. I suppose this is the point where your life is supposed to flash before your eyes as time itself freezes - and it did in a way. But I didn't relive my life physically like walking through an old memory, déjà vu in each step. It was a feeling, something that started in my chest and spread to my fingertips, one so unique to me that it encapsulated each significant event into one single second." For as long as May can remember one mystery has haunted her world. A dirty window before her, the grim obstructing her vision, she has lived with a loss she can't identify - that is until one rainy night. Gradually the spots of dirt May scratched at for so long wipe away with the touch of a finger. But when she looks in will she like what she sees - or will curiosity kill the cat?

The Four Brothers ~ Completed by KimberandAshes

Gemma isn't what you would call normal. With a genius IQ, a not so great home life, and a hard time staying in tight spaces, the girl's got a few issues. She never thought that she would be saying that a new issue was four older brothers she had no idea about. Brothers who thought she died twelve years ago? But not everything is as it appears with our lovely little Gemma; same with her new brothers. Nothing is as it appears, it seems. With a past worse than expected at first glance, literal demons that can bite them in the ass, and a couple of plain grouchy Starbucks attendants, this will be one crazy ride. But will this ride destroy the family or bring it back together? Don't look at me, I don't know. You'll have to read to figure that out. (The chapter titles are in Portuguese but the story is in English, I promise you).
