druid ghost happinessawards2024 haunting horror wiltshire

American divorcee April Waverly learns she is the heir chosen to inherit Oakton, Sir Drew Ramsey's home farm. Elderly, crippled, sinister Drew promised to repay her for her carer role in his last few years. He loved two things only in this world: his Siamese cat, currently Nala, ancient and sharp-clawed; and Oakton.  The Ramseys received Oakton as a reward from the Conqueror through marriage to its heiress, and Drew would do whatever was necessary to keep Oakton in the Ramsey family. He was the last Ramsey, and he was prepared to solve this problem.
April agrees to the obligations to inherit Oakton, for in addition to its worth, she loves the farm and Wiltshire. Ben Muir, Drew's unctuous lawyer and heir to the rest of Drew's large fortune, has control of Oakton and her until she actually inherits after Ostara. He wants her to inherit Oakton, for reasons she cannot discern. He knows too much about Oakton and her, and she begins to stand up for herself against him. The Spring equinox festival of the druids is the occasion for her to become Mistress of Oakton.
A local sheepherder mentions the curse on the heir of Oakton to her, but laughs it off, as she is not a Ramsey. A bell that summons and repels a spirit monster goes missing, to the frenzy of the Oakton Druid cult. April hears footsteps following her around the Lodge at Oakton and items are displayed for her to find. Sheep are killed by a mysterious predator, and the guard llama is constantly alert. She finds a dead man floating in a bog at Oakton. She is falling in love with the handsome local vet who cares for the farm's animals, and thinks her feelings might be returned. April wants Oakton, not just the land and its value, but the home and future it promises her.
Ostara nears, and April must face the forces that want her body and soul, and hope for help from those who stand against the evil that haunts Oakton.All Rights Reserved

Held For Ransom by 11caiti

It was a normal day and I was outside walking my german shepherd, Sammie. She had just stopped to take care of her business and I noticed the hooded man who had been following us for quite some time, approach us. I had figured he just didn't want to be rude and pass us, so I didn't mind. Now as he was approaching us, I knew I was wrong. I started to tug on Sammie's leash to get her to hurry up. When she wouldn't budge, I started to panic. I started to pull harder and as the man got closer, he took something out of his pocket. A gun. I screamed as he took aim and fired. Hannah Jansen was 17, a senior in High School. Her family was rich, her dad was a lawyer and her mom, a heart surgeon. She was an only child, and had tons of friends at school. She wasn't the snobbish kind of rich girl. She was sweet and nice to everyone. When Hannah was supposedly, "killed", everyone was devastated. While her father was working hard to find out who did this, everyone else was either grieving, or arranging funeral plans. When a letter came in the mail a week after the incident, everyone was shocked. The letter read: Dear friends and family of Hannah Jansen, I have your daughter here with me at my house. She is in my bedroom tied up and gagged. I have a gun on my bedside table and if you do not agree to my conditions, I will be forced to use that gun. And because I don't want to do that, I want 1 thing, not that hard, right? No. I want $10 million. If you ever want to see your daughter again, leave the money at 4565 Oakwood Rd. on August 1st, 3:00 A.M. Today is June 1st, so you have approximately two months to get this money. If you fail to do this, your beloved daughter shall die. Sincerely, Tyler West P.S. Just to save you trouble, don't even try to search my name or find out where I live, because trust me, it won't work. I don't exist.

Hunted Series - The R Rated Chapters by Corinder

Adult Chapters: For story purposes, the chapters are written in the adult versions and then edited for PG-13. (This helps me understand where my characters are going.) But I am also uploading them here to be read freely as they come up. :) This is for the Prequel, Hunted & Hunter The appeareance of two injured, sick and panicked non-pack werewolves, known as mutts, in New York is usually not a cause for alarm. It's easily dealt with. But two female mutts, appearing out of no where, already months into their changes, this is a cause for alarm. There should only be two female werewolves in the world- Elena and her five year old daughter. So where have these two come from? Elizabeth, an Australian, is one of those new mutts, and running from her past is something she's keen on doing. Even her mind's in on denial- she remembers nothing since coming to America months back, except flashes of torture, torment, and her own stubborn will to survive when others haven't. Yet somehow she can trust the American werewolf pack, though she can't understand why, and allows them to offer her and her friend safety from those who would bring her back to pain, torture and to a man who still haunts her with the name 'Master'. He isn't the only man that haunts her though. Someone else in the pack seems to remember her too. Jeremy, the Alpha of the American werewolf pack, and Elena, the alpha-in-training, are brought face to face with a new Alpha, his pack and his attempt to claim America, kill off all the pack werewolves, and to capture Elena and her daughter for himself. Only with the assistance of 'Anne', as Elizabeth now calls herself, and Pav can they know where to start looking.

I could feel the same restlessness also coming from me, well my wolf. I ignored it, however and still I ran. I couldn't figure out why I was running, but I was.

The Grean Household by uninstalledproxy402

"It was a mistake..." She told her mother, folding her hands into each other. "Marrying him..." Her mother said nothing, she simply sat there as her only daughter stood across from her, on the verge of collapsing from bruised ribs and cracked shins. "Mom." She wanted to reach out, softly tap her aging mother. Though that was the restriction of her life. The binding stereotype that she was gentle and slow to anger. In reality, what wanted to explode from her ribs was a scream of an animal, and the tears of repressed rage and fear. She wanted to throw her body onto the floor, but the thought made her damaged body ache more. There was no response from her mother. The deafening silence reminded her of her own quietness as her husband shouted at her, his fists bloody. He told her that she was only a tool for his amusement and a money-whore for her indigent family. She was nothing else but a tool for both parties. And she was starting to believe him. --------------------- Sarah Johnsen's life spirals from the normal gritty resilient fight to a serene wonderland. On the outside, she's married to a kind family with untold riches, but on the inside, her husband is the devil himself. Forcefully married at 18, Sarah was forced to kill her own dreams of becoming a doctor in order to bind her poor family to the rich bastards of Glendale by marrying their youngest; Oliver Grean. Their arrangement had the ability to brew the largest timespan of misery any of them has ever known. From lost toddlers to paid staged kidnappings, the binding of the two families, the Johnsen's and the Grean's created a mixture of chaos, confusion, sorrow, fear, grief, and dangerous rage. And there seems to be no haven to escape to. Or is there?
