~I lived on the coast, where the mountains met the sea. He would always say it was just like him and me: I, always washing in and out, and he, always crumbling. I met him in the second week of October, the rains hadn't started yet. I met him just as everything was dying around us, and this was a poet's love! Our most primal instinct was to make something in the face of this.~

October on the North Coast can best be described as the jar of ectoplasm cautiously guarded by the spectral huntress that extracted it. This, is a ghost story, above everything else. However, it is also a love story. 

With the immaculate essence of autumn in the Pacific Northwest circa 2012 this story is diffused in misty nostalgia inspired by songs like Holocene. Come to watch the phenomenon, but never carry the expectation that it has a chance of being understood.

Laying on the ground I couldn’t tell if I was alive or on the verge of death. I felt alive, but I was in a corpses body. But of course, if I was dead who would really care? Parents? My ‘friends’? My relatives, oh I don’t even want to think about that.. No one would really care..at least that is what I thought. Looking over at my wrists I see the familiar red color coming out, but it was worse. Much worse. Feeling my eyes start to close of fatigue I let them fall, I’m tired...all I need is a little..rest. The loud slamming of a door comes to my ears but I pay no attention, it was probably just the wind or my dad coming home not knowing his own strength and breaking the door. But that wasn’t on my mind right now. Rest. Thats all I need. A break. A time out. A chance to get away. Just a little time. One thing that came to my mind was that song. That song. I was absolute in love with that song, though I never really knew why. It was just that feeling inside that, made you feel connected. Yes. That song. Pierce the Veil, oh his voice is beautiful.. Just can calm me and make me fall asleep. On the verge of life or death I feel like, I’m floating. Something is holding me. Either the arms of angels or demons I don’t know. Just I was floating. The grip around me gets tighter, it wasn’t flames or clouds that I was getting lowered into. It was softer than clouds. It was one of the best places. I obviously have been here at least once, or I wasn’t at all. Maybe in one of my dreams. In a daydream. I wasn’t sure. But whatever or whoever this was made me feel comfortable, something that I haven’t been able to have. I hear this low voice above right above me, it was sad, full of regret, and most of all wanting. Begging. Pleading. Screaming. Crying. “Wake up! I know you can hear me!”

AERA'S POV: As I strolled alongside Yuen, who was listening to busy texting in her phone, I gradually became aware of a soothing melody reaching my ears. Moved by the music, I gently grabbed yuen's hand and led her in the direction of the source. To my delight, we discovered three boys performing a mesmerizing song that left a lasting impression on us. But upon hearing, tryst will be in Few seconds..... But doesn't know when the few seconds WILL COME.... Alike Sun & Moon where we can meet STILL WAITING FOR THE MOMENTOUS INSTANT.... the day we gonna meet. will be Like... A SPELLBOUND I was overwhelmed with joy and excitement when I heard these lines. END OF AERA'S POV: The crowd was surrounded by them as I watched their performance and two performers Caught my eye one was yeon and the other was his friend.I should be honest, I couldn't help but I stared intently at Yeon because of his striking aesthetic looks. His appearance was so attractive to me that I could not take my eyes off of him. His guitar playing was incredibly smooth and the way the wind blew his hair made him even more stunning. I wouldn't resist commenting on how captivating his eyes were, his smile was breathtaking, like the sun rising in the morning as they draw everyone in. unknowingly, I said yeon looked mesmerizing. Yuen asked- "what did u mean, who is mesmerizing?" I unconsciously said - Yeon.when I realized what I have said I felt extremely embarrassed as yuen gave me a look that made me think she believed I had developed feelings for him after hearing what I had said.I couldn't help but feel my cheeks flush with heat as I realized what I had just said.

He tightly grabs me by my waist and he holds me in place while I still continue to get captivated by whatever it is that is happening here. "Tell me what you see." He commands in a voice that sounds so beautifully smooth and pleasant to listen to. My words are choked up and I can't even begin to explain what lies in those eyes of his. Something about his presence is reeling me in, pulling me more soulfully closer to him, something that i am not even sure is possible but I feel this connection to him, this ancient ancient connection, like I had seen him before, like I had known him for a long time, a life time. And the way he's holding me !!! He feels familiar and yet I don't even know who this man is and it would be crazy if I told him that I've seen a Storm in his eyes, a storm that I had never seen anything like it in my life. It was beautiful and enchanting. Everything that he Is at the moment. "Nothing... I didn't see anything." I lie, as my mind fully gets back to me again, and the storm finally dissappears. He let's go of me and i move to stand on my own. He looks at the features all over my face before he furrows his thick brows, in concern while he continues to stand awfully close to me and gosh he smells so good. A huge strike of lightning echoes outside before immediate rain starts pouring outside. I could have sworn that there was a zero percent chance of rainfall tonight, it was clear and there were no clouds insight, the ocean below the balcony starts to get angry too as the waves get aggressive and the moon looks as vibrant as ever right now. We both look outside before we look at each other again. "Are you sure that you saw nothing ?" He asks and I nod my head at him. "Nothing..."

[BUNDLE] BOOK 1: There's a reason buried things should always stay buried. For better or for worse. To have and to hold a demon for eternity. She says demons haunt the night, inflecting everything in their path. But where I come from demons don't just lurk around the shadows. They breed in your head. Feasting on your soul until you cease to exist. And, mine just woke up infested in wicked lies. Till death do us apart, little soul. BOOK 2: Girls like them are expected to dance to the tune of evil. To smile with the taste of souls in their veins and vengeance in their hearts. To feed the ghosts and the monsters within them. Discarded by the world and hidden in a maze of twisted creatures, I'm barely holding into my sanity, trapped between the past and the present. Between good and evil. Until one day I no longer recognize myself or them. He says he can see beyond the evil that I am. But it's not him that my madness prevails for or HIM. Because I'm starting to hear their tune, dancing to destruction and chaos. BOOK 3: There's a reason buried things should always stay buried. Like my mistakes. Your past. Now the grave is open and corpses are crawling out. Corpses inflicted with lies and betrayals. Corpses that you pull the strings of, corpses that even Hell is afraid to take. You see, little soul, you think that makes you the monster in our story. But you forgot me. You forgot my promise. Our story might have ended with till death do us apart. But even death has a shadow to lose.
