Prologue: The Letter
    That day went like any other. I parked my mom's old Ford Escape in the driveway. I had just gotten off work, and it was my last day. Before I walked into the house, I grabbed the mail. A cool breeze whipped past me. I began to look through the mail, like routine and headed inside. There was a cream-colored envelope with big blocky letters saying 
        "Arielle Lancaster."
    Which would be acceptable only if it wasn't from a place I've never heard of before. "Mount Haven"... might be a scam. Right? The lettering looks like something from the government. Curiosity washed over me, and I opened it. I walked inside to see my parents were gone. I shrugged it off and headed to my room.  
    My eyes began to skim the letter.
        "To the next of kin of Leah Fletcher,"
    The letter began. Who is that? My eyes jumped to the next thing to catch my eye.
        "You now fully own 1582 Everest Drive, Mount Haven, Maine. You will need to come and take care of this property."
    My eyes then jumped to the bottom of the letter.
        "If you have any questions, please contact me at 723-356-7891."
    I grabbed my phone. My body began to shake.
        "Hello?"I asked.

Sabine Harlow and Shayne Carrington ************ [Can Oil and Water ever mix?] Carrington Enterprises, the most successful Oil Company in Dallas, Texas, comes under a personal siege. Philip Winthrop, owner of Winthrop Oil is still fuming that Bianca Thatcher married Colin Carrington, and not his son, Jagger. Greyson, the CEO, will not let Philip destroy The House of Carrington that his great grandfather built. Enter Shayne Carrington, with steel grey eyes and a chiseled jawline that could cut glass. He becomes the new CFO, at Carrington Enterprises and gains a financial assistant, Sabine Harlow. She feels he needs to be taken down a peg or two with his arrogance. Is his over confidence a mask for deeper hidden feelings? Will their battle of wills lead to a deep love that neither of them expected? "Hello Sabine, I hear we're going to be working together. Please don't think I had anything to do with that decision. Trust me on that! Please try to keep your claws in, during working ours." Shayne smirked as he handed me a file of paperwork with sticky notes. He wrote directions on the outside like I was a kindergartener. "Oh, by the way, your new desk will be outside of my office tomorrow. I'll see you in the morning, Miss Harlow." He moved his thick brown eyebrows up and down. He had the nerve to grin from ear to ear with his arms folded, as he stood before me. I was exasperated with him already. "I have until the end of the day, to decide if I am willing to be your assistant." I snapped at him with an extra smug and cold expression on my face. He leaned over my desk close to my face, with his steel grey eyes. Up close, I saw hints of blue in them. "I have no doubt, that you will be sitting at your desk tomorrow working for Shayne Carrington." He stated a little too sure of himself. I can't do it! Who speaks in third person about themselves?

Highest ranked- #10 in action 2/16/2017 A promotion. That's all I wanted. I didn't want to run for my life. I didn't want to be kidnapped. I didn't want to face death. I didn't want to find out my whole life was a lie. I just wanted a bloody promotion. Guess fate had other plans? **** The cold air fanned over my face as I opened the door. The exit door lead to the back of the building so it was pitch black. I leaned against the wall trying to control myself. Blood was running down my arm and head. My hair was stuck to my face from all the sweat and blood. Everything was spinning around me and the ground seemed like it was shaking. Groaning I sat down and put my head on my knees. He knows who I am. He knows how I look like. He knows where I work so possible knows where I live. I am not safe anymore... no where. While I was in my own world I heard faint sounds behind me but I didn't bother to look or run away. The footsteps got closer and I was pretty sure it was Walker's men. I should run. I should try to fight. But what's the point in trying to run away? He would eventually find me and if he has his way he would most likely kill me. If this is my fate then why am I trying to fight it? I felt someone harshly grab my waist and pull me up and I complied. They dragged me down the alley and into the busy street. I heard the opening of a car and the next thing I knew I was being thrown into a car. My head hit the hard leather seat and the door shut behind me. Maybe this is how my life will end. Maybe I should just let it happen. Maybe I was destined to die alone as a no one. With that I let the darkness consume me.
A Study in Chaos by archivistofchaos

221B Baker Street was not supposed to be my final destination. It was a pit stop. A temporary, financially questionable decision in one of the most expensive cities in the world. A place to exist quietly. To keep my head down, drink overpriced coffee, and avoid unpacking my emotional baggage. Then I met Sherlock Holmes. And quiet ceased to exist. One minute, I was just a tenant in a slightly dysfunctional flat. The next, I was the unwilling documentarian of absolute madness- ✔ Sherlock, the world's only consulting detective, who refuses to function like a normal human being. ✔ John Watson, who has reached new heights of exhaustion thanks to said detective. ✔ Mrs. Hudson, who is not a housekeeper but absolutely runs this place like a benevolent overlord. ✔ Molly Hooper, the forensic pathologist who is finally terrifying Sherlock (to my endless delight). ✔ Mycroft Holmes, who controls the British government but, more importantly, cannot figure out why I exist. ✔ Lestrade, who shows up mostly to suffer. ✔ And Rosie Watson, who is officially my tiny, all-knowing best friend. I am not a detective. I am not a hero. I am just the one thing Sherlock Holmes cannot deduce. My name is Safa. I babysit Rosie for extra cash, I document Baker Street's chaos out of sheer pettiness, and I gloat about my food just to drive Sherlock insane. I tell myself I don't belong here. That I am still just passing through. But the thing about living at Baker Street? You don't realize you're home until it's time to leave. And for once, Sherlock Holmes never saw it coming.

If you are offended easily do not read. •.• I snuggled into the comfortable warmth of the fluffy pillow as I was eager to go back to sleep. The fan lullabied me into a hazy state. Suddenly, a heavy weight landed on my waist, pulling me from the tired daze. I leaned up in shock as my hands flung forward defensively to push whoever was on me off. With a strong force, my shoulders were shoved backwards and into the mattress. Grunts of struggle filled the room as we fought each other. The offender grabbed my wrists and held them firmly above my head with one strong hand. Sobs of terror escaped from my chest as a thumb caressed my cheek to wipe away the spilled tears. "P-please let go of me," I begged, trembling. "You are so beautiful." A man's voice spoke, his large hand leaving my face and traveling down my body to squeeze my pelvic region. "Stop." I screeched, my demand ricocheting between the four bedroom walls. The man growled darkly. "If you scream again, I will kill you." I nodded keenly in response to show that I would not challenge his threat. His hand slowly freed my mouth, testing if I would disobey him. He reached into his pocket. A knife, zip tie, and a rag were all revealed. The view made me realize that this could be my last chance to get help. If I did not call out right now, he would take me. I would not make it out alive either way. I let out a bloodcurdling scream loud enough to wake up the whole neighborhood.

In "Dealing with the Devil" Y/N finds herself stalked and partnered with an enigmatic classmate known as "the Devil" for tutoring. As their sessions progress, Y/N uncovers dark secrets about her stalker's identity and their sinister connection. With tension mounting, she must navigate treacherous waters to uncover the chilling truth before it's too late. ___________ "When the mind fixates singularly on an obsession, becoming deeply enamored, what transpires when that fixation fades? Does it relegate you to the shelf among its other prized possessions, or does it casually discard you? I've never experienced such intense love for something, and I doubt I ever will, but I ponder how often this cycle of obsession repeats itself-" As my fingers danced across the keyboard, crafting words, a sudden message materialized on my computer screen. "I won't ever throw you away. Why are you writing about me like this?" A chill ran down my spine. Had he hacked into my computer? Attempting to continue typing, my efforts were futile; it was as if my computer had frozen. "Why are you doing this?" I exclaimed aloud in frustration, my fingers tapping the keys relentlessly. Suddenly, my computer shut down abruptly. I slammed my hands onto the desk, emitting a frustrated groan. The overwhelming emotions made me feel on the verge of tears. "I just love you too much," the message declared across my darkened screen.
