*THIS IS MY FIRST STORY BEWARE*
Noelle Adams, a young woman with the kindness of saint, never imagined her life would take a chilling turn when she accepted a position at the imposing Veilwood Mental Asylum. Her assignment: to care for Maverick, the institution's most enigmatic, feared, and wanted paitent. Known as "the silent one," and convicted of arson, Maverick's reputation echoed through the asylum's grim corridors as a living enigma, a man who could never utter a single word in his life.
Along the way, Noelle inches closer to unwinding the mystery of the asylum, why everyone is so drawn to Maverick, including herself.

Awakening
This story was previously known as "The Awakening". ~*~ "One... two... three... one... two... three... a million... is that number right?" A figure less voice echoed. "Hello? Who's there?" Caliope asked, focusing on that voice. "One... two... who? A million... a billion... no, it's more... a legion..." Silence. She had seen too many horror movies and heard too many stories about that single word to overpass its meaning. The voice went quiet, yet she was still unable to see where it came from. She rubbed her eyes and all she could see around her was a thick path in a jungle-like scene. She didn't remember how she got there, but she knew it was for something important. Her eyes focused on the far end of the path and all she could see were more trees. She turned to the opposite side and found just the same. "One... two... billions... but always back at one..." the voice resumed it's counting. "Where are you? Who are you?" ~*~ -Her name is Caliope, and when she was a young girl, she never believed in happy endings. For her, there was nothing more than what you see in front of you. All she needed was her best friend Vanessa. Her background is very simple; a foster child with foster parents that were everything but warm and caring. Regardless of that, she became a smart and responsible young woman, ready for whatever came her way. At least that is what she thought. Her new job interview changed her life. It changed everything she ever believed in, and what she thought it was real. Her new boss is an amazing woman who has a son, something different from what he is made out to be. As she discovers the hidden truth about her boss and her son, she has to prepare herself for a whole new world that will unfold to her. ~*~ Intro collaboration with my loyal reader @GabrielleCarden Original Picture from the cover made by Marcus J.

The truth in silence
Isabella Hart wakes up in a strange, sterile room with no memory of how she ended up there. The walls feel like they're closing in, and her mind is blank-fragmented, lost, as if someone has erased all traces of her past. The only thing she can hold onto is the presence of Damian Blackwell-a cold, enigmatic man who claims he's there to help, but offers no answers. As Isabella struggles to piece together the puzzle of her life, Damian's cryptic words only deepen the mystery. He insists that the truth will come in time, but every moment spent in his eerie silence feels like a step further into a nightmare she can't wake from. The more Isabella uncovers, the less she knows who to trust-and who she really is. In a world where nothing makes sense, Isabella must navigate the shadows of her forgotten memories, but the more she learns, the more she realizes that some truths are more dangerous than ignorance. Isabella must confront her deepest fears, but can she find the truth before the silence consumes her? Or will the darkness of her past remain forever out of reach, hidden beneath layers of deception?Complete

"Its been one year and eight months since, and now all of a sudden you bring her up, why now? Out of all days?" I ask Jake sincerely. "I can see the act your putting up in front of everyone. The recklessness and all. You can get away with all of that with everyone else, but you can't fool me Bil," Jake tells me concerningly. "Why does it matter? I moved on, I have Drew. I'm not stuck on her anymore. Clearly - I've proven that by now," I say to Jake. "Do you mean that sincerely?" Jake asks me. I huff before looking back at Jake. "Yes. I do," I say to him truthfully. "Alright well. Finneas decided that it was best that I'd break the news to you," Jake says before sitting up in his seat. I look at him with my eyebrows furrowed, and suddenly a deep trench of anxiety forms in the pit of my stomach. "What is it?" I ask him. He hesitates before speaking. "Lilith is coming back to LA to work on the stage crew," Jake says. My eyes slightly widen. Fuck. ~~~ A year has gone by and now Lilith is back. Although a reunion is coming up, a year can change a person drastically, and as they say, change is inevitable. Will Lilith be able to reconnect with Billie? Or is it seemingly hopeless? Will Lilith finally remember Billie? Or did change form Lilith into a completely different person? ~~~ (This is the Second Book to the first book called 'Sweet Belladonna'. I highly recommend you go back to read the first one before continuing on reading this one, or else you'll be majorly confused.) ~~~ AU (Alternate Universe); Though some characters are real, this is fiction. Keep that in mind. Will contain explicit language, depression, anxiety episodes, violence, smoking, drinking, trauma, drugs, and real-life events that occur. +18 Votes and Comments help me a ton, so please feel free to do so.
