Your not afraid of the dark.
Your afraid of what's in it.
The soon to be eighteen year old Marcus has moved to a old, strange and abnormal house in Miami. Ever since he moved in, he's experienced odd figures appear in his room. The faint sounds of tapping on the window, scratching on his walls and the groans that come from the dark corners of his room scare him to death every night.
No one would believe him if he talked about it. Not even his best friend Stella who's been with him since his first day of his new school. She notices Marcus's strange new appearances ; dark eye bags, his skin turning pale, and bruises on his body.
The only person who would believe him, was his little sister Cyra. She may be only eleven years old, but after looking at every true crime she wouldn't doubt he's telling the truth.

Crescent | SAMPLE
For the fae, magic is everything: status, power, wealth, honor. For Vera Reite, a fae born with no magic, it is a shameful reminder that she will never amount to anything. Whispers of a fae-killing monster begin to circulate the Moon Court. It lurks in the woods, feeding off the mana of its victims. Those that go missing and find themselves at the mercy of the beast are never seen or heard from again. Fear quickly takes hold of the fae court; it's only a matter of time before their whole world is destroyed by this creature. However, it offers Vera a glimmer of hope. When she learns of it, she ventures into the wood to kill the beast, believing that she will be able to absorb the magic it has stolen. But the woods are as dangerous as the beast, and Vera soon finds herself lost. In a stroke of luck, she comes across an old manor deep in the forest where a strange boy is sealed away. If Vera wishes to slay the beast, she will first have to uncover the secret of the manor and its prisoner before it's too late. 𝐀 𝐟𝐚𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐦𝐚𝐠𝐢𝐜. 𝐀 𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐫 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐚 𝐝𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐥𝐲 𝐬𝐞𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐭.

It's Somewhere Beneath Us
The house is safe. The hills outside are not. The basement is out of the question. Joel has been trapped in the house for what has felt like an eternity; all hope of escaping lost after the first few years. Without the company of the eight strangers who arrived with him, he would have gone mad long ago. But while living in the decrepit building is taxing, nothing could be worse than the thing downstairs. Everyone is content to just live in the six rooms that they know are safe until Joel learns that there may be something below. Something other than the creature that torments them. The house goes deeper, further down into the darkness. And while travelling through the unknown halls may be dangerous, and the thing downstairs is always following close behind, Joel is determined to find a way out of the nightmare he's found himself in; for his own sake, but more importantly, the sake of the people he loves.

ONE NIGHT IN THE CABIN HOUSE (Completed and NOW Edited!!...)
Garcia, Justine, Bateman, Lee, and Claire were driving through unfamiliar woods when, late in the evening, their car got a flat tire. Stranded and with night quickly falling, they decided to search for shelter until morning. After some time, they stumbled upon a deserted, run-down cabin deep in the forest. Exhausted, they chose to stay there, unaware that what they had just entered wasn't a refuge-but a dangerous trap waiting to unfold. *** "Or haunted," Bateman muttered, staring at the window. "What do you mean?" Claire asked. "Gracia was right," Bateman said, standing up. "I saw the shadow move just now." Lee sat up in surprise. Seconds later, a loud bang echoed through the tiny room as someone-or something-knocked on the door. ~#5 bestseller ~#1 dangerarghty ~#8 ghoststory ~#2 greatstories ~#4 horror thriller ~#17 fright ~#27 bestbookonwattpad ~#19 beststoryever ~#33 ghostbusters ~#19 darkforest Please vote if you enjoyed the story! 😊 I'm open to feedback and happy to make corrections.
