In 1898,  just before the 'Fin de Siècle' Jack Mortimer has just turned twenty-one years of age. Having lead a secluded life up until now, he admits that he is a very  innocent and naïve young gentleman. After a strange encounter with the infamous and mysterious Count Raoul Rodolpho on Bodmin Moor, Jack Mortimer's life will be changed forever. 
   The Count who has been nicknamed 'The Red Admiral' by the Bodmin townsfolk because of his passion for lepidoptery, (Butterfly collecting) is revealed to be a charming, and enticing prospect, if somewhat unpredictable, but nonetheless he proves to be a mesmerising presence to the impressionable young Jack.  But what is the lasting consequence of this ominous meeting? Count Rodolpho is renowned for his opulent and extravagant tastes, but do the rumours that surround him of debauchery and possible bloodlust do him justice, or are they merely unjust superstitions thrust upon him by the local Bodmin villagers. Townsfolk who have a history of revelling in macabre beliefs themselves and an irrational fear of 'Foreign Outsiders' ? This fateful meeting with the Count Rodolpho ushers in many unforeseen consequences for Jack Mortimer. And what of the allure, the power and  the influence of Count Rodolpho's mysterious and enchanting three 'sisters'  Scarlotta, Esmeray and Lilah? Jack Mortimer's life is about to be transformed forever.All Rights Reserved

The Hunters Saga #2: The Wolfsbane Rubies by RJ_City

"DEATH IS QUICKLY CLOSING IN..." "You don't know what control is." I blinked. "Okay, so... I'm stuck with you until I die?" "For all eternity," he nodded, smirking a little. I crossed my arms. "Eternity's a long time, especially for a vampire like yourself. I'm sure you're find someone else." "I doubt that," Henri muttered back softly. His cinnamon scent tickled my nose, openly tempting me, and I wanted so badly to kiss him. To tell him I... loved him. Was that the Mark talking, or was it just me now? Henri moved aside, watching me quietly as I slid into the black leather padded front seat of my new Mustang. I buckled up, ignited the engine, and put the vampire - as well as The Wolfsbane Rubies - far behind me. I felt the Mark rise up with every aching pound of my heart as the distance between us grew, as if he and I really were tied together somehow. It would be hard to stay away. Extremely hard. I felt that vampire with every inch that expanded between us. This bonded thing would be harder than I thought... This is Book 2 of The Hunters Saga!! 1st draft, so there WILL be mistakes! Cover thanks to @AlexandraSinclair1! *Rated PG-13 for thematic elements, peril & angst, rude humor, mild language, occasional innuendo and sensuality, and graphic imagery in some places.

I am his proxy. Though I hate being controlled, I can't help but listen. I owe him. I'd much rather have to hunt for my food than have him hand it to me every time he gets what he wants. I don't want to be his proxy, I despise it. I even despise the feuds he has with Slender Man and his brothers as there is no point to them. No point in having me fight them. Such a waste of time.

Prettiest Vampire by LoriEllisxox

Fates, Furies, Sirens, Harpies, call them what you will. Daciana and Ilinca were an ancient evil, and had been known by many names. They had always existed alone, shunning both humans and other demons, yet for the past three hundred years they had lived with the vampires. It was necessary, following the death of their beloved baby sister Anna. Their grief over Anna's death drove them to madness - life with the vampires was all that had brought them back from this dark insanity. And so for three centuries they had bowed to the vampires, called them Master and Mistress, but no longer. Tonight, everything would change. Lilian Van Schattigdame was the company's top salesman in Eastern Europe. He was also their only salesman in Eastern Europe. Had there been others, his top salesman status would likely have been in doubt. He hadn't actually sold anything at this point. Oh, and he was also his boss's wife's cousin's nephew. Count Dodrescu requires a maiden, to fulfill a ritual and serve as the vessel for his beloved Mirela's demon soul. Renfield needs to supply his Master with a maiden, to gain favour and achieve immortality. Daciana and Ilinca need to prevent Dodrescu from finding a maiden, so that he will not discover they are Mirela's murderers. So what happens when all that anyone finds is a guy named Lilian? Prettiest Vampire alternates between horror and humour. It is possibly the scariest - and funniest! - vampire story you will read this year!

~A child prophesied to change the world is cursed and misplaced, amidst centuries of a secret battle between good and evil among humans and creatures alike.~ At the end of summer in the year 2000, best friends Alice and Anna find themselves in more trouble than they could imagine as teenage girls. Unbeknownst to the curse given to Alice upon being born thousands of years ago to hide her identity before she is transported through time and placed among humans. Despite her parents' best efforts to keep Alice safe, she inevitably crosses paths with danger when she and Anna are attacked by bloodsuckers, resulting in Alice's first time transforming into a banshee. Kane, who's searching for a blood source powerful enough to create hybrids, is the ruthless king of a dying breed that has been mostly wiped out by the slayers, and Alice, whose true identity is masked by a curse, is the key to everything. Once Kane, hears about Alice's secret, he's determined to capture her and use her blood to create unstoppable hybrids. He orders a second attack, not expecting Tate, a newly transferred student at Hawthorne High, to interfere. When the girls decide to skip the rest of the first day back, they're attacked in the woods behind their school. Anna is kidnapped after being mistaken for Alice, as a result of Tate's interference, and inevitably falls for Prince Alexander, brother of Kane. While their relationship blossomed, so did Alice and Tate's as she grieved the loss of her friend she assumed was dead until anonymously receiving photos of Anna being held prisoner. This newfound power of hers, along with the unbreakable bond she shares with Anna, simply wouldn't allow her to run away and hide. She was not about to go down without a fight. With the help of Tate and his reluctant grandmother, both descendants of a bloodline of pure-blood witches, Alice is determined to save Anna from the clutches of the bloodsuckers. Even if it means she must sacrifice herself or take Anna's place.

FREAK SHOW by MrPuff

What happens when one of the last freakshows comes to your town? Not only is it a grotesque event viewed for pleasure at a circus but one that harbors secrets and hidden evils behind the curtains. Scarlett didn't know what to think when she heard about the circus coming to her town; her town was small, rarely anything visited it. She never expected to be ripped from her life and forced into their society of freaks, struggling to keep their business. She wasn't and would never be a freak, especially ones that didn't know right morals from wrong ones. ___________________________________ THIS STORY CONTAINS GRAPHIC MATERIAL AND POTENTIALLY TRIGGERING CONTENT: READ AT YOUR OWN RISK (18+) I WROTE THIS WHEN I WAS 14.

Y/N was normal, and so was her life. She didn't have dead, rich abusive parents or any magical powers of any sort, and she wasn't secretly the 'chosen one'. She was simply a girl who happened to fancy Black Butler. But it still came as a massive shock to her when she opened her eyes to find herself laying in a back alley of London in the year 1888, Jack the Ripper actively tearing up prostitutes in Whitechapel. With demons, reapers and the pesky Double Charles on the loose, Y/N struggles to adapt to her new life in Black Butler. Hell, she struggles to just KEEP her life much less manage it. Read along as Y/N discovers there's much more to her new friends (and enemies) than what she remembers from flipping through her manga. Waring: mentions of prostitution, violence, blood, death, rape, strong language, mugging, various weaponry and degradation through name calling. There will be warning issued before chapters but most of the triggers mentioned above are important to the story however the reader is NEVER subjected to watch or experience rape though they discover many attempts against other women. I do not own Black Butler's characters/story line or any other books/movies/shows etc mentioned/referenced in this fic!

Victorian Mistress: Revised Edition by SisterQuill

[COMPLETE] Lot Maguire gets you right in the heart. Literally. Lot never believed in love. Now she may be falling for two old vampires. She thought being Bran's paid mistress/fake wife would be easy compared to eking out a living on the streets of Victorian London. But his gentleness and vulnerability is bringing out aspects of her that she denied existed and making her 'simple' life very complicated. Josef, Bran's 'best friend', is another complication. Lot thinks she has him figured when they first meet but there are cracks in his confident persona nobody else seems able to see and something Lot doesn't understand keeps drawing them together. After another vampire beats Bran, Lot feels compelled to hunt them down and punish them. She transforms herself into the vigilante, The Reaper; prowling London's rooftops to take revenge on abusers, putting her on a collision course with Bran's abusive maker. It will take all of Lot's cunning (and heart) to save the dude, get the guys, and live chaotically ever after. A slow-burn polyamorous gothic romance/horror with vampires, vigilantes, and Victorians. Victorian Mistress is Book 1 in the Book of Lot saga. Content Warning: Sexual content and humour, violence, references to physical and emotional abuse and self-harm, depictions of anxiety, depression, and trauma.

Fate in his hands by mai951371

Still mourning from the untimely death of her mother, and a week before leaving the Nassau county with her best-friend, and with that, everything else she had ever known, Sol find herself wrongfully charged and incarcerated for the murder of a member of her family. Already depressed at the idea of her once-promising future now marred by the bleak confine of a prison cell, she now also has to the deal with the fact that she has just caught the eyes of a man, whose power and reputation for brutality alone precede him. ....... "Little flower" , He said, his fingers gently tilting my head up to look at him. "Yes", I breathlessly exhaled "If you ever speak to me like that again, I will rip your fucking throat out.", He continued with a terrifying smile. ...... - And because his ancestors were never picky about their business endeavours, partly due to their direct ties to royalty, and due to their connections to upper-class members of the justice system in Europe and eventually in North America and Asia, the man's family had been direct benefactors of both world wars due to their involvement in the weapon industry, and as suppliers of the adrenaline-pumping drug both the Germans and the French/Americans were injecting in their soldiers before sending them to battle. It's safe to say the man's power knew no bound or restrain. Power that carried through with every single one of the man's actions. Indeed, The man never yelled and never raised his voice, he never had to. The man was curt in his speech. His deep, raspy, baritone voice almost always resonated through with the same monotonous tone. Unless it was to handle his bi-daily entertainments, which were often eccentric in genre and deriving from eclectic sources. It was only then, you'd see the man's eyes twinkle with amusement, frequently at the expense of others. - ______ WARNING [Contains mature, potentially triggering content]
