"Would you like to come in?" she asked, smiling shyly. On the one hand, David was pleased she had cracked, and on the other, he was disappointed she was that careless. What if I am a killer? He thought as he slightly kicked the door shut behind him with his foot. "So, how are you liking the neighborhood?" Jean asked as she led him into the kitchen. "It's...fitting." He responded, looking around. "You live alone?" he asked, eyes darting from one corner of the house to another. "Don't you get lonely? Or afraid?" he asked further. Jean stopped mid-step and turned around. "I didn't say I do." She responded. For a minute, she heard her conscience asking her to reconsider...

The Follower by LateNightStories12

Life has evolved and more technologies appeared. The internet is the main brain of these technologies, but that doesn't mean that it's safe. It is said that we are only using 10% to 15% of the entire internet, so where is the left of it that's the question. That's not the main point the point is how people could use the internet. Some could use it for social life, some could use it for doing research and some could use it to track you down and know every single move you do. They could hear everything, know your next destination. Maybe now you're being followed and tracked down by someone but you just don't know. Just as the characters in the story. The story is based on possible events that could occur in these days. Nobody knows what's out there on the internet, and what's in people's minds. Beware the internet, beware of the people around you, beware of the people you give trust to, beware of the mysterious follower that stalks you that is obsessed with you without you knowing. * Story chapters will be published one by one as a tv series to make the reading part easier and give more excitement to what's coming* Thanks for reading.

The Psycho Is Innocent | ꪜ by XFiction_GoddessX

Highest Ranking: #9 in Mystery/Thriller Psychosis: a condition that disrupts a person's thoughts and perceptions that make it difficult to recognize what is real and what isn't. Psychopathy: a neuropsychiatric disorder marked by deficient emotional responses, lack of empathy and or poor behavioural controls, commonly resulting in persistent antisocial deviance and criminal behaviour. A year ago, Ariel Campbell was a simple girl until she met a not so simple boy. When Tobias Aspen is arrested on suspicion of double homicide, Ariel must grapple with the fact that her life as she knew it would forever change in a whirlpool of gruesome murders, blackmail, betrayal and lost trust. She ventures on a quest to find out who framed him and prove that the only guy she loved wasn't the bloody murderer everyone thought him to be whilst also piecing unmatched puzzles together as she tries to unravel the mystery behind who Tobias Aspen truly is. "Seventeen year old Tobias Aspen was arrested a week after the remains of fifteen year old Kayla Mammoliti and Seventeen year old Maria Jensen of Manchester Central High School were discovered in a ditch-" She watched silently as his image flickered across the television. The dim lights flashed across her face in a mirage of colors, brightening the dark room with a soft glow. Ariel Campbell sat frozen in her spot, unable to comprehend the reality of her life now. She sunk her nails into her skin as his mugshot flickered across her dark dilated irises. Blood began to pool beneath her sharp fingernails but she hadn't reacted to the pain seizing her arm. She was over having Tobias labeled as the monster when the real monsters slept beside them at night. Ariel Campbell had one goal in mind: She was going to prove that the psycho was innocent. No matter what it took. No matter who she hurt.
